Pei's father stood to the side, his face ashen.

He looked at Pei Nian'an, then at the crying golden egg and the cursing family, and felt a mix of emotions.

He knew Pei Nian'an didn't mean it, but Jin Dan was, after all, his second brother's precious grandson, and Old Madam Pei was protecting Jin Dan. He was caught in the middle and it was really difficult.

Pei Nian'an's face turned red from the scolding, and tears welled up in his eyes, but he stubbornly refused to let them fall. He looked at these so-called "relatives" in front of him.

My heart was filled with resentment and anger.

Why do they always side with Golden Egg? Why do they curse him like that?

Just then, Shen Qingtang and Pei Wuwang broke free from the illusion and entered the space.

Shen Qingtang's face darkened instantly upon seeing this.

Shen Qingtang and Pei Wuwang had just recovered from the exhaustion of the illusion when they entered the space and were immediately enraged by the offensive insults.

Pei Wuwang's eyes were icy cold, and the pressure around him was frighteningly low. He took a step forward, and his powerful aura made Pei Ershu and the others subconsciously take a half step back.

Shen Qingtang walked straight to the golden egg, her eyes devoid of any warmth.

She had exhausted all her energy protecting Pei Wuwang in the illusion.

Now, seeing that the child he risked his life to save not only shows no gratitude but also uses his family's support to distort the truth, both old and new grievances surge into his heart.

"Smack!"

A crisp, loud slap landed hard on Jin Dan's face.

Jin Dan was stunned by the blow, her crying stopped abruptly, and she looked at Shen Qingtang in disbelief.

Uncle Pei and the others were also stunned, never expecting that Shen Qingtang would dare to break the golden egg.

"You...you dare to hit my golden egg!" Uncle Pei reacted and roared as he charged forward.

Pei Wuwang stopped him, his eyes as cold as ice: "Second Uncle, look carefully before you speak."

Shen Qingtang ignored them, looked at Jin Dan, and said in an icy tone, "Jin Dan, I'm asking you, who started it? Who started the insults?"

Jin Dan trembled with fear at Shen Qingtang's gaze and stammered, unable to utter a word.

"Smack!"

Another slap, this time even harder than the last.

"Speak!" Shen Qingtang's voice carried an unquestionable authority.

"Yes... I was the one who started it... I was the one who started it..." Jin Dan finally couldn't hold back his tears and admitted intermittently.

"Good to know." Shen Qingtang withdrew her hand and looked at him coldly. "I rescued you, not so you could distort the truth and bully others. Nian'an is your brother, and you not only disrespect him but also hit him. Is this the kind of grandson your Pei family raised?"

Madam Pei was so angry she jumped up and down: "Shen Qingtang! You're an outsider, what right do you have to hit a child from the Pei family? Who do you think you are!"

What am I?

Shen Qingtang sneered, "I'm the one who saved your Pei family's precious darling! If it weren't for me, do you think Jindan would still be standing here crying? He would have been killed by that white-bearded old Taoist priest as a sacrifice long ago! You're not only ungrateful, but you're also here distorting the truth and insulting Nian'an. Is this how people from your Pei family behave?"

Her words were like a sharp knife, piercing the hearts of the Pei family.

Pei's father's face grew even uglier. He looked at Shen Qingtang, then at his mother and second uncle, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Pei Wuwang walked to Shen Qingtang's side, gently took her hand, and gave her a reassuring look.

Then, looking at the Pei family, he said in an icy tone, "If you dare to bully him again, don't blame me for being impolite."

After saying that, he pulled Shen Qingtang and Pei Nian'an, turned around and left.

The Pei family members watched their retreating figures, their faces alternating between pale and flushed.

Uncle Pei held the golden egg, tears streaming down his face, but dared not chase after it. Old Madam Pei trembled with anger, but was helpless.

Stepping out of the space, Shen Qingtang took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart.

I want to kill them.

real.
