Suddenly, Sang Mumu burst into tears. Wiping away her tears, she walked to Long Jingchen's side, grabbed his sleeve, and cried, "Waaah, Daddy, Mumu is scared!"

Sang Jiang swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

She looked up and saw Sang Mumu, who was winking at her.

This was their secret code, and she understood the girl's meaning at a glance.

Sang Jiang slowly loosened her grip. Yes, she didn't only have Long Jingchen; she also had Chaochao Mumu.

She never expected that seeing him again after so many years would make her so flustered.

She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.

When Long Jingchen heard Sang Mumu cry, he felt his heart break. He immediately put Sang Chaochao down, picked up Sang Mumu, and said gently, "What's wrong? Mumu, aren't you afraid of Daddy?"

As he spoke, he gently patted Sang Mumu's back.

In his eyes, his daughter was soft and cute and meant to be protected, while his son, being a boy, needed to be responsible.

Sang Chaochao: ...

He glanced at Sang Mumu and felt speechless.

It seems he doesn't even need to lift a finger; Mumu will take care of it now.

But the tyrant actually threw him down, which is a minus!

While wiping away her tears, Sang Mumu sobbed, "Daddy's fierce, Mumu is scared."

Long Jingchen: ...

Looking at his delicate and sweet daughter, he couldn't help but soften his tone even more: "Mumu, don't be afraid of Daddy. Don't be mean to Mumu."

Mumu stopped crying, and while pouting, she sobbed, "But everyone says that once Daddy has a stepmother, he doesn't want any more children."

As she spoke, she tugged at Long Jingchen's collar, her tone incredibly aggrieved.

Hearing her words, Long Jingchen felt his heart break. He tightened his grip on Mu Mu's arm and coaxed her softly, "Who said that? Daddy won't abandon Mu Mu."

"Really?" Sang Mumu blinked her phoenix eyes and asked softly.

Long Jingchen: "It's true, a king's word is his bond."

Every time he saw Sang Mumu's phoenix eyes, he couldn't help but think of Sang Jiang and the debt he owed her, so he couldn't help but dote on Sang Mumu even more.

Sang Mumu glanced at Consort Li and pouted, tears instantly welling up in her eyes again: "But this auntie said that my brother and Mumu are little bastards!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Jingchen's face turned cold again.

Consort Li, standing nearby, felt a chill run down her spine as she sensed the cold pressure emanating from Long Jingchen.

His smug face instantly turned pale with panic.

She never expected that after talking for so long, she would be neutralized by a little girl, and even be turned around and accused by her.

She knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down her face, and cried out, "Your Majesty, I am innocent! They were the ones who called me a lowly slut and beat me, and now they're blaming me! I am truly innocent!"

"Father, she's lying!" Sang Mumu shouted, unwilling to give up.

"Your Majesty, I did not! I beg Your Majesty to do justice for me!" Almost as soon as Sang Mumu finished speaking, Consort Li shouted again.

She cried out and looked at Sang Mumu again: "Princess, I have no grudge against you, why are you framing me like this! I know you like that little palace maid, but you can't just frame me like this..."
