"You filthy, rotten woman, I'm going to kill you!"

Enraged, Chen broke free of control and actually charged towards Shen Zhiyi—

She moved so fast that Cui Lan couldn't stop her at all.

Hongrui and Lühe immediately shielded their young lady, blocking Chen Shi for her. Chen Zhiyi caught a glimpse of the Regent's sword lying to one side. "Your Highness, may I borrow your sword?"

The next second,

She had already gripped the hilt of the sword.

He drew his sword swiftly.

Just as Chen was in a fit of madness, knocking aside the red stamens and green lotus leaves,

The sword in her hand had already cut through the wind, accompanied by a chilling aura of killing intent—

The sword tip was already pressed against Chen's neck.

A murderous aura emanated from him.

Zhou Xuance raised an eyebrow; this appearance was strikingly similar to her father and brothers!

She truly lives up to her reputation as a daughter of the Shen family.

Chen was unable to dodge in time, and the skin on her neck was pierced, blood rolled down, and the stinging pain made her hesitate and dare not take another step forward!

"You, you... I am your mother-in-law! The Empress Dowager is here! Do you still want to assassinate your mother-in-law?!" Madam Chen said through gritted teeth.

"You wanted to kill me, I was just acting in self-defense."

"What exactly are you people from the Marquis's mansion trying to do! You dare to lay a hand on the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo right in front of me!" The Empress Dowager shouted angrily, and Song Maozhang rushed over and pulled his wife to kneel down and beg for mercy.

"The Empress Dowager is easily angered, and my wife has acted improperly. She was just too emotional. Please forgive her."

The Empress Dowager glanced at Song Yuxiu and simply raised her hand.

As a mother, I can understand that my son cannot have children.

"Your Majesty, my grandson already has a son and a daughter. He is by no means a castrated man who has no heir. There must be some misunderstanding about this matter." The old lady also knelt on the ground.

"Please restore the reputation of our Marquis's family, otherwise my grandson will never be able to face anyone again."

"This..." The Empress Dowager was also in a dilemma.

Indeed, having children but having no heir is a real contradiction.

Or perhaps he died childless after giving birth. Why? There might be a conspiracy involved.

The Song family's intention is...

It's nothing more than Shen Zhi plotting to harm him!

Therefore, the Empress Dowager re-examined Shen Zhiyi, "Zhiyi, regarding this matter..."

"Your Majesty, if I had known that Song Yuxiu was keeping a mistress outside the marriage and even had children with her, I would never have married him."

The Empress Dowager understood Shen Zhiyi's answer:

If she knew all along, how could she have tolerated this woman for so long, and even allowed her into her home later?

This is indeed strange.

Shen Zhiyi smiled and said, "Speaking of which... why are you so sure that these two children are Song Yuxiu's?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yaoyao was so frightened that her soul almost flew away.

These words shocked the Song family. What if the two children really weren't of Song family blood?

Song Yuxiu was infertile, so wouldn't that mean...

At this moment,

It seems like the Song family's world is about to collapse!

Chen Zhiyi today...

The goal is to completely expose the Song family's true colors.
