A short while later, several people followed the servant and walked over.

General Yao spotted Lin Chang'an from afar, but before he could even feel happy, he saw the deep red handprint on his face.

It pierced his eyes, which had never cried even after years of fighting on the battlefield.

"You? How dare you attack my distinguished guest?"

As soon as General Yao finished speaking, he drew the sword he had used in battle directly from his waist.

With a clang, the sword was drawn, making a piercing sound as it struck the hilt.

This startled Master Zuo, and his voice carried a hint of displeasure:

"General Yao, what do you mean by this?"

You hit my brother?

Lin Wanwan's face twisted in anger.

Suddenly, the once clear sky was instantly filled with dark clouds.

Lightning lashed against the dark clouds, creating layers of shadows like waves.

Master Zuo and his companions couldn't help but look up, a chill running down their spines.

"What do you mean, Master Zuo? My distinguished guest accidentally fell into your residence, and it hasn't even been a moment. How could you be so heartless as to beat him like this?"

Han Nianyu looked at the child's swollen and red cheeks, her eyes red, and pulled him over, "Child, how did they hit you? And so hard?"

Lin Chang'an stretched out his hand and pointed at the Shen family.

It's her!

"She hit me!"

"I just told the truth, and she got so angry that she hit me."

"And that Master Zuo, he even said he'd beat me to death!"

Lin Chang'an's tears continued to fall from the pain.

Lin Wanwan reached out her little hand and touched Lin Chang'an's cheek.

Before long, Lin Chang'an felt a cool sensation on his face, which made him feel much better.

He looked at his sister with gratitude.

"What truth?" Yao Qianshu asked, puzzled.

“I told her about her sleeping with Master Zuo, but I didn’t say it myself, and she hit me.”

A hint of panic flashed in Shen's eyes when he pointed at her with his small hand.

General Yao looked as if he had heard some shocking news, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

He glanced at Master Zuo, then at Madam Shen.

"You...you attacked my honored guest just because of this?"

Enraged, General Yao swung his broadsword at the mahogany pillar by the corridor door.

The sturdy pillar swayed twice after being struck.

[A bunch of bastards, they did something wrong, yet they still beat up my third brother.]

He stole his son's wife, became his father, and still won't admit it...

You'll be struck by lightning!

Han Nianyu had just overheard Lin Wanwan's thoughts, saying that there was trouble next door, but she didn't believe it.

I never expected it to be true.

And now I'm hearing something so outrageous.

"General Yao, this child trespassed into my Zuo residence and spied on our privacy. We're already being lenient by not sending him to the authorities!" Master Zuo said angrily, his nostrils flaring.

Zuo Muting remained standing still, without uttering a sound.

Lord Shen also thought it was nothing surprising for a mere child to say, so he sided with Master Zuo, saying, "Child, I watched my daughter grow up. How could such an outrageous thing happen to her?"

"If you continue to slander my daughter, believe me, I will send you to the authorities and charge you with defamation."

Lin Chang'an looked up at Lord Shen with tear-filled eyes.

"Even Prime Minister Jiang didn't believe what I said just now, so do you dare to do a blood test like Prime Minister Jiang did?"

"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of?" Lord Shen sneered.

At this moment, Zuo Muting walked up to Lin Chang'an.

For some reason, he believed what Lin Chang'an said, which seemed to be inexplicably in his mind.

“Kid, tell me, where did you hear that from?” Zuo Muting squatted down and held Lin Chang’an’s shoulder.

Lin Chang'an thought for a moment, then pointed to Hongyu, who was following behind them, "Look, she said it herself."

Zuo Muting turned around urgently, his gaze falling on Hongyu.

"And you, you said it yourself," Lin Chang'an added.

"Me?" Zuo Muting pointed to himself, his face full of doubt. "How could that be? I didn't know anything about this, how could I say it myself?"

"Besides, my father and I are blood relatives, so whether I take a drop or not, the result will be the same!"

"Hmph, then why don't you do a blood test to prove it to me? I can't let you beat me for nothing!" He believed in his sister.

But I can't say I heard what my sister was thinking.

He wanted to protect his sister.

[Third brother is amazing!]

[They actually saw through it all along.]

No wonder they asked Brother Shenghuo if he understood it.

Upon hearing the words "Brother Fire Starter," Han Nianyu felt an urge to slap her son to death.

She absolutely cannot allow the maids who light the fire in the kitchen to have any contact with him!

Absolutely not!

Master Zuo angrily retorted, "Nonsense! It's not up to a child to make decisions for my Zuo family."

“My dear in-law, I admit that I have failed to raise my son properly, and your daughter has suffered injustice. This mistress is yours to do with as you see fit.”

"But Shen can only be a daughter-in-law of my Zuo family. If we divorce, then I will drive this rebellious son away with her!"

His voice was powerful and resounding, and every word he uttered was sincere.

Upon hearing this, Hongyu cried, "Master, please spare me..."

"Since you seduced my son, you should have expected this situation. My son has two children to raise; children cannot be without parents..."

Oh, so now you know how to kill off the mistress?

It's late, it's pouring rain, and my two sons are leaving school...

Han Nianyu almost burst out laughing when she heard that childish voice.

A moment later, two children knocked on the door.
