Sang Hongfu stayed with Yang Liu until he heard her long, even breaths before leaving.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, Sang Hongfu's face darkened considerably. She then asked why Long Jingchen had summoned him to the palace and berated him.

In the study, he looked at the servant and asked in a deep voice, "Have you found out who it is?"

The servant bowed his head and said, "Not yet, this servant would not dare to forget to discuss it."

"What do you mean?" Sang Hongfu frowned and looked at him.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment before speaking: "Master, who do you think said this?"

Sang Hongfu frowned and thought for a moment: "Liu Furong?"

He quickly dismissed the idea: "Impossible. She's already under house arrest. How could she possibly cause so much trouble? Besides, Yun'er is still her own child. Even if she doesn't care about me, she can't ignore Yun'er's future."

The servant, upon hearing this, wisely shut his mouth.

"Have you heard? It's all over the place. The master favors his concubine over his wife."

—"What do you mean?"

"When I went out to buy things for Miss just now, the news spread that the master was going to abandon his wife for a little bitch, and that the little bitch was a married woman whom the master had forcibly taken from him."

"What little bitch? Miss Yang?"

"There's no such thing as Miss Yang anymore, now everyone's Aunt Yang."

"That's true. Aunt Yang is usually so kind to people. I don't know who could be so malicious."

"Madam is actually quite pitiful. You know, didn't Aunt Yang initially claim to be the young master's woman? How did she end up becoming the master's concubine and even having a child?"

"That's right, didn't the old man reprimand Miss Biao in public that day?"

Li Wei overheard their conversation and couldn't help but sneer, "With Yang Liu's slender waist, don't you think every man would like it? Let alone the master, even I wouldn't be able to resist!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Get out of here! Don't let the master hear this." The young maid was quite young, and her face turned red immediately upon hearing Li Wei's words.

"What are you afraid of? Master doesn't have time to care about us right now. He's probably still having his fun with Yang Liu!" Li Wei said, whistling at the little maid.

"You're going too far!" The maid stomped her foot and ran away at the sight of his roguish behavior, and the others followed suit.

Li Wei couldn't help but burst into laughter as he watched the little maid flee in disarray.

Once his son is born, he will have someone kill Sang Yun so that his son can take over. At that time, the entire Sang family will be his.

"Li Wei!" Sang Hongfu kicked open the study door.

Li Wei was startled by the shout. He turned his head and saw Sang Hongfu's gloomy face. Li Wei immediately knelt down: "Master, I was wrong. I only spoke without thinking in a moment of conflict. I will never dare to do it again."

Sang Hongfu was already furious, and he just happened to walk right into the line of fire. Ignoring what Li Wei was saying, he directly ordered the steward, "How dare you slander your master and have an affair with a maid! Take him away and punish him according to family law!"

"Master! No! This servant knows he was wrong, this servant will never dare to do it again!" Li Wei shouted while kowtowing.

His so-called family discipline was twenty strokes of the cane. Twenty strokes would cripple him! No way! She hadn't helped his son become the head of the family yet; he couldn't die!

"Master, please release me! Please forgive me for saving Concubine Yang!"
