Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

Ying Yufu's eyes narrowed. The first step to changing her fate was to keep the Flying Tiger Army in her and her mother's hands and not let Ying Nanyao take it away.

In the dream, my mother handed over the Flying Tiger Token, and from then on, she was truly put on the defensive.

Now that she knew about the dream, she would never allow her mother to make the same decision again.

Ying Yufu looked at Shangguan Tang and saw that her mother's eyes were lowered, so she couldn't see her expression.

She couldn't help but wonder if her mother, unaware of the truth, had handed over the Flying Tiger Token in the dream.

The situation is different now. Her mother knows the cruel truth behind the dream, and knowing her mother as she does, she will not easily hand over something that can save her life, even when facing Ying Nanyao.

Seeing that Shangguan Tang remained silent for a long time, Ying Nanyao couldn't help but become a little impatient.

He repeated, "Tang'er, where is the Flying Tiger Army's token? Give it to me now."

He was determined to defeat the Flying Tigers.

However, even though he had tricked the Flying Tigers into joining his ranks for more than two years, he still couldn't win them over.

He must obtain the token; only then can he make that ferocious private army truly acknowledge him as their master and pledge allegiance to him.

Shangguan Tang slowly raised her eyes and looked at him, saying, "I did not carry the Flying Tiger Army's token with me."

A glint flashed in Ying Yufu's eyes, and the corners of her lips curved slightly.

Good job, Mother! This time, it was indeed different from the dream.

The Flying Tigers' token was always with her mother, even when she slept.

Her saying this at this moment means that she does not agree to give the token to Ying Nanyao.

She said that if she told her mother the truth about the dream, her mother would definitely make a different choice.

Ying Nanyao's expression suddenly changed.

He looked coldly at Shangguan Tang, his face dark. "Tang'er, we've been husband and wife for many years. Don't I know your habits? You never part with the Flying Tiger Army's token."

Or are you saying you're unwilling to give me the Flying Tigers' token?

As he spoke, his voice grew even deeper, and his gaze toward Shangguan Tang took on a chilling quality.

Shangguan Tang glanced at him indifferently, "I was in such a hurry that I didn't bring my token with me."

"Alright, in that case, Tang'er, where did you put the token? I'll send someone to get it right away. It's best not to leave such an important thing unattended."

Ying Nanyao said with a forced smile.

Ying Yufu's eyes turned cold, and from an angle unseen by others, a hint of madness appeared in her angry eyes.

It seems that if we want to protect the Flying Tigers' token today, we'll have to break off all pretense of civility.

Shangguan Tang then said, "My lord, there's no need for such a fuss. The Flying Tiger Army is my father's private army. Unless someone is a member of the Shangguan family, even if an outsider obtains the token, it's useless without my personal authorization."

Ying Nanyao's confident smile suddenly froze.

Indeed, that's true. Those Flying Tigers are incredibly stubborn, like a pack of unruly wild beasts. Without Shangguan's personal orders, even if he had the token, it would be useless.

Just then, the old lady at the head of the table suddenly slammed her hand on the table, attracting everyone's attention.

The old man stared at Shangguan Tang with a dark look in his eyes and said, "Shangguan, are you doing this on purpose? How can Nanyao be considered an outsider?"

"You are a woman who stays at home, not content to be a good wife and mother and manage the household affairs. Instead, you command an army. Look at any other woman like you."

From now on, you will completely hand over the Flying Tigers to Nan Yao. He is a man, and he will be in charge of the Flying Tigers for you from now on.

Shangguan Tang chuckled softly, "Mother is absolutely right."

The old lady's expression softened.

Ying Nanyao immediately smiled gently, stepped forward and took Shangguan Tang's hand, "Tang'er, since you agree with your mother, why don't we go to the training ground now and you can say it yourself..."

Shangguan Tang calmly withdrew her hand and clutched her chest. "Ouch, my lord, I'm a little tired and my chest feels uncomfortable. I'll go back and rest for now."

Ying Nanyao's face stiffened again.

His face twitched, and he stared intently at Shangguan Tang's complexion. Only then did he realize that her face was indeed terrifyingly pale.

It seems she was right when she said she wasn't feeling well.

Now that things had come to this, he couldn't press her any further.

He could only say, "Alright, since you're not feeling well, Tang'er, you should go back and rest. We'll talk about the token tomorrow."

He looked up at Ying Yufu beside him and said, "Fu'er, you must take good care of your mother!"

Ying Yufu resisted the urge to roll her eyes and gave him a standard smile that showed off her eight little white teeth.

Ying Nanyao felt inexplicably uncomfortable with the smile, but couldn't quite put his finger on why.

He frowned, flicked his sleeve, and returned to his seat.

"Mother, let's go back."

Ying Yufu helped Shangguan Tang to her feet, and without even glancing at anyone else, the mother and daughter walked outside together.

This action caused the old lady sitting at the head of the table to frown, but considering that she still needed to hand over the Flying Tiger Army tomorrow, she held back her anger.

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

After Shangguan Tang and Ying Yufu and her daughter had walked far away, the old lady let out a heavy, cold snort.

"Mother, bear with it for now. She won't be arrogant for long," Ying Nanyao advised.

"Mother, my husband is right. Don't get sick from all this," Liu Xueyan said softly.

Back at Qiushui Garden, Shangguan Tang dismissed all the servants, leaving only Granny Zeng behind.

She took out a jet-black token from her bosom and solemnly handed it to Ying Yufu.

"Fu'er, this is the Flying Tigers' token. Your grandfather entrusted the Flying Tigers to your mother back then so that she would have more confidence. Now, your mother is entrusting this force to you. From now on, you are the master of the Flying Tigers."

Ying Yufu looked at her mother, and her eyes welled up with tears.

She knew her mother's intention in doing this. After learning the truth about the dream, her mother was worried about her safety, so she wanted to hand over the Flying Tigers to her.

[Host, don't refuse, accept it. Just imagine how awful your scumbag father's face will be tomorrow, haha!]

Xiao Dian said excitedly.

Ying Yufu hadn't originally intended to refuse.

Even if her mother doesn't give it to her, she will ask for it on her own initiative.

She believed that the Flying Tigers would be safer in her hands, and that this would completely eliminate the possibility of Ying Nanyao obtaining them.

Moreover, with the Flying Tigers, she would have the power to save the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

She absolutely would not allow the terrifying scenes in her dreams to happen.

Ying Yufu gripped the token, gazing intently into her mother's eyes, and said, "Mother, the Flying Tiger Army is our only trump card right now. I will definitely save the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and I will definitely change the fate in my nightmare!"

Looking at her daughter who had grown up overnight, Shangguan Tang felt an overwhelming pang of heartache. "Alright, Mother believes in you."

"Tomorrow, I'm destined to have a falling out with Ying Nanyao." Ying Yufu gripped the token in her hand tightly.

She looked at her mother with worry, "Mother, Ying Nanyao is not human, you should..."

She spoke tentatively, carefully observing her mother's expression.

Shangguan Tang raised his hand and gently stroked her hair. "Fu'er, Mother knows what you want to say. If everything in the dream is true, then they will never let me get a divorce unless I die."

Ying Yufu also knew that only if her mother died could they obtain all of her mother's dowry and squeeze every last drop of value out of her.

However, since they already know the future direction of their dream, they still have more opportunities to change it.

Her eyes were bright as she tried to comfort her, saying, "Mother, if you're willing, there's always a way to overcome difficulties."

"If you push us too far, we'll donate your entire dowry to the royal family and the soldiers. That's better than letting them profit from it. Maybe it can even get your second uncle out of prison."

When Shangguan Tang met her daughter's determined gaze, she suddenly realized that her daughter's words made sense.

They're practically driving them to their deaths, and even the trouble at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is probably connected to them. What reason do they have not to fight back?

At worst, can't we just say she was blind after more than ten years of marriage?

"My Fu'er has grown up. Good. I will listen to Fu'er. I will... divorce him."

Ying Yufu said, "Mother, you not only want a divorce, but you also want to take your dowry and us with you."

"it is good."

Shangguan Tang slightly curved the corners of her lips, and vaguely felt that the invisible mountain that had been pressing down on her head had disappeared, making her feel incredibly relaxed.

A dark glint flashed in her eyes: "Fu'er, it's a good thing that the Second Prince has revealed his true colors now. It's better than waiting for you to marry him and ruining your life."

Looking back now, the way the second prince behaved was exactly like your father's.

From the day my mother married into the Marquis's mansion, in everything big or small, your father always told me to give way to the eldest son's family. Whenever there was something good, he would always give it to the eldest son's family first. Even a lot of my dowry was taken and given to the eldest son's family.

That's not all; he also told you three siblings to give way to the children of the first wife.

He said that Liu Xueyan was all alone and helpless, so we, her mother and children, had to give in to her in everything.

Liu Xueyan was about the same age as her, but Liu Xueyan had a rosy complexion, while she looked pale and appeared to be more than ten years older than Liu Xueyan.

Shangguan Tang found it utterly absurd.

Over the years, she managed the entire Marquis's mansion with great care and attention, but what did she get in return?

She murmured, "I gave up everything, even my own husband."

Fu'er, that second prince has been following his example since he was a child, telling you to give way to Ying Hengzhi. Such a person is not a good match for you.

"I was too attached to appearances before, but now I suddenly feel that it would be right for you and the Second Prince to break off your engagement."

After Shangguan Tang finished speaking, she saw Ying Yufu looking at her with bright eyes, and she was taken aback.

Ying Yufu smiled and gave her mother a thumbs up. Her mother truly lived up to her reputation as the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo and the Lady of the Nation. She was decisive and had great courage!

Shangguan Tang suddenly felt ashamed, "Fu'er, I was foolish before, making you all live such a miserable life with me."

"No, Mother, we three siblings are so lucky to have you as our mother!"
