Li Yunyan couldn't reveal that Hua Weixin had sent her a letter yet. They weren't engaged yet, and they had only slept together yesterday. If Li Yunwu found out, there would be more gossip to spread.

The old tree spirit spoke.

"You're talking nonsense! Wu'er is usually the most sensible person, how could she possibly frame you? Maybe it's because your reputation is too bad that you've offended someone outside, and that's why someone is framing you!"

"So Grandmother also knew that her granddaughter was framed? Then why didn't Grandmother say a single word of comfort, and instead made me kneel down as soon as she saw me?"

Madam Li was stunned.

I was careless and got caught up in this little trap!

"You! Maybe it's because you're naturally promiscuous that you deliberately seduced people at the banquet, and then, after the scandal broke, you tried to pin the blame on your sister!"

Li Yunyan was a little confused.

Even if that old hag dislikes her, she's still her granddaughter, right?

How could a grandmother harbor such malice towards her own granddaughter? She even spreads such obscene rumors so readily; she's practically driving someone to their death!

"System, can you find out why this tree spirit hates the original body so much?"

[Okay, host, but points will be deducted!]

"buckle."

[Okay, host! Please wait...]

[Found it! Host, it's true that the original owner of this body was the tree demon's granddaughter! But because the original owner's father, who was also the tree demon's eldest son, refused to marry her niece and insisted on marrying your mother instead, she harbored resentment. Later, your father was away for many years and didn't maintain contact with her, while your second uncle doted on her every day. Your second uncle has no skills, but he's exceptionally good at sweet-talking, which made her increasingly biased.]

“Although my father didn’t have children to enjoy, he upheld the honor of the entire Li family. Isn’t that enough?”

[Host, have you ever heard the saying, "A small favor is appreciated, but a large one breeds resentment"? The more selfless your father is, the more they take it for granted. If you show even the slightest resistance, they'll think you're trying to escape their control and will want to suppress you even more.]

"So you're trying to take advantage of a woman's kindness?"

[It's like this. Ah! Host! Look what I've found out!]

"Deduct it immediately! Tell me now!"

[Host, the original owner's mother didn't die of illness; she was murdered by your second aunt and that old hag!]

"What?"

[Your second aunt wanted control of the household and was jealous that your mother had better food, clothing, and daily necessities than her! The old hag wanted your father to marry her widowed niece after your mother's death. Taking advantage of your mother's weakened state after giving birth to your brother and your father's absence due to war, they secretly poisoned her tonics.]

Li Yunyan was truly angry at this moment.

She clenched her fists, trying to regulate her breathing.

She didn't intend to be so ruthless!

After all, the original owner's father was a normal person and probably still wanted a respectable family. She originally wanted to maintain some face-saving with them.

But now, she doesn't want to put up with it anymore.

These people aren't family at all; they're vampires! They're devils!

She's too lazy to be nice to them anymore!

She didn't even want to call her grandmother anymore. "If you don't believe me, you can report it to the authorities and let them investigate. I'm here today to take back my things!"

Upon hearing that she had come to ask for something, Old Madam Li disregarded everything else: "What do you want? I don't have anything here that's yours!"

"Granny Qin, you speak."

Granny Qin stepped forward, opened a thick booklet, and began to read: "The day before yesterday, the old lady said she had a headache and asked Miss for a hundred-year-old ginseng; last month, she said her knees hurt because of the changing weather and asked for Miss's white tiger skin; the month before last, she said her eyesight was failing and she couldn't see clearly, so she asked someone..."

Granny Qin started reading from the most recent time and went backwards, gradually awakening Li Yunyan's memories. It turned out that the things in her storeroom had been disappearing in this way!

These are all her treasures!

Before she could even speak, Old Madam Li couldn't stand it anymore.

"Shut up! These are all gifts from my granddaughter to this old woman. What's there to talk about repaying them? You're just hurting our feelings for no reason." After saying this, she even smiled, a rare sight on her face, and looked at Li Yunyan with affection.

In the past, as long as she was nice to Li Yunyan, Li Yunyan would eagerly open her heart to her and let her choose whatever she wanted from the entire warehouse.

Li Yunyan didn't even hit her: "Madam, you're overthinking it. There's no emotion between us that can be hurt."

The old lady felt embarrassed after being humiliated by her.

She slammed her hand on the table and roared, "You wretched beast! Aren't you afraid that if word gets out, people will say you disrespect your elders and are unfilial and unbrotherly?"

"Go ahead and spread the word! No matter how well I did before, you still told people I was disrespectful to my elders, didn't you?"

Madam Li was stunned. She actually knew?

How did she find out? Could it be that the big mouth in the second son's family told her?

What a useless thing! He can't even control a little hoof!

Li Yunyan felt that the booklet was too thick, and it would probably be dark by the time she finished reading it all. She didn't have the time to just wait around.

"Granny Qin, stop reading, just have people move the things!"

"Yes, Miss!"

"Let's see who dares!"

Old Madam Li slammed her hand on the table, making a loud bang. "Those things are all mine! None of you can take them!"

Ignoring her powerless rage, Granny Qin walked outside the courtyard and gave a signal. Soon after, a dozen or so old women and servants came in.

The old lady looked terrified. "Who are you? You're not from our household! How did you get in?"
