"Alright, Princess Chang Le, I'll listen to you."

Madam Jing was a cheerful and magnanimous person, and she had no intention of arguing with Liang's mother, a woman with mental problems.

But the princess immediately defended her.

This surprised her, but also made her extremely happy; her old face was beaming with joy.

It seems that the princess truly considers the Jing family as her own.

Hahaha, how could she not be happy about that?

Liang's mother's expression changed repeatedly. She wasn't stupid; how could she not understand the hidden meaning in Sheng Lingwei's words?

Ugh, she's so angry! Sheng Lingwei not only doesn't give her any face, but she doesn't even treat her like a human being. How can she not be angry?

"Princess, what do you mean by that?"

Sheng Lingwei glanced indifferently at Liang's mother, and a terrifying aura pressed down on her.

Liang's mother felt her legs go weak and her shoulders feel as if they weighed a thousand pounds. She fell heavily to her knees with a thud.

"I am a princess, and you are just a commoner. You have no right to question me about anything. For Liang Tianling's sake, I will spare you this time. If you continue, you can pack your bags and get out."

Mother Liang lay prostrate on the ground, her face pale, large beads of sweat dripping from her forehead.

It was only at this moment that she remembered Sheng Lingwei's title of "Great Demon." What exactly made her mistakenly think that Sheng Lingwei was easy to bully?

Yes, it was her two children who gave her the illusion.

The son, Tianling, has a close relationship with the princess, calling her "elder sister" all the time, while the daughter, Yuanyuan, calls her "sister princess" all the time.

She once thought that Sheng Lingwei was gentle and could stand up straight because of her status as an elder.

Little did she know, she was completely wrong.

Thinking of this, Liang's mother panicked and hurriedly looked up to look for Liang Tianling and his sister. When she saw the two of them standing aside, looking at her with indifferent expressions, she was shocked.

She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Is she completely rejected by her son and daughter?

No!

"Tianling, Yuanyuan, you two must plead with the princess! I promise I'll never speak recklessly again! Hurry, plead for me!"

Liang Yuanyuan blinked her big, round eyes, pursed her lips, and said, "But Mother, you've said this so many times, but I've never seen you actually change your ways."

Mother Liang's face stiffened, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes. "Yuanyuan, this time I absolutely mean what I say. You two siblings, believe me, okay? I'm your mother!"

"snort!"

Liang Tianling gave a heavy, cold snort, her gaze towards Liang's mother devoid of any warmth.

“Mother, it’s precisely because you are our mother that the princess would never have kept you in the ranks, given your appearance. Don’t you have any self-awareness?”

"You..." Mother Liang choked on her words, utterly humiliated and embarrassed, her face flushed with anger and frustration.

"Liang Tianling, now that you've grown wings, you think you can just abandon me? Fine, then return all of the Liang family's assets to me. These are my assets, and you can't take a single copper coin from me."

A sarcastic smile curled at the corner of Liang Tianling's lips.

"Fine, I can give you my family property, but from now on, you will no longer be the mother of my sister and me, and we will sever all ties with you."

And you, don't try to morally blackmail us with family ties anymore.

Mother Liang was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. "Unfilial son, he's utterly unfilial!" she gritted her teeth and said. "Fine, I'll keep my word. With money, I'm not afraid of not finding someone to take care of me."

Besides, I've had enough of you two unfilial sons. Not only are you disobedient, but you're also rebellious. Without you, I can live a carefree and comfortable life.

Nonsense!

Those around couldn't help but roll their eyes.

In this chaotic world with frequent natural disasters, Liang's mother, a woman with no brains and no fighting skills, is carrying a large sum of money.

It's estimated that it will be completely robbed before it even travels ten miles.

Only someone as brainless as her would think that she could live a carefree and comfortable life away from the group.

Both Liang Tianling and Liang Yuanyuan had had enough of their mother.

She kept saying how guilty she felt towards them, but it was all just talk.

As her children, we have to take care of her like a mother, and clean up her messes from time to time.

Not only were they emotionally exhausted, but their hearts had also grown cold after repeated unreasonable demands. In short, they no longer cared whether their mother existed or not.

Liang Tianling gave a wry smile and cupped his hands to Sheng Lingwei, saying, "Boss, please be my witness."

Sheng Lingwei was pleased with the outcome.

He immediately had Jing Qingyun write two copies of the document severing ties, had them sign and put their fingerprints on it, gave one copy to Liang Tianling for safekeeping, and threw the other copy to Liang's mother.

Immediately afterwards, Sheng Lingwei took out one-tenth of the Liang family's assets, which amounted to more than 200,000 taels of silver, and had Liang Tianling hand it over to Liang's mother.

She was the kindest person in the world. Fearing that it would be inconvenient for Liang's mother to carry silver, she specially exchanged it for silver notes, and all of them were silver notes.

Hehe, this isn't a prosperous city in Northern Qi. Most people here only recognize gold and silver, not banknotes. Even if she had banknotes, she wouldn't be able to use them.

How wonderful (and sarcastic)!

Rong Momo had long disapproved of Liang's mother's various behaviors, and now that the letter of severance was in hand, she could finally show her skills.

"Liang Dan, you are no longer a member of the team and are not entitled to the preferential treatment that the team provides. The princess is kind-hearted and allows you to stay at Black Wind Village."

But you are responsible for your own food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. Don't expect to eat and drink for free again, and don't even think about using our firewood. If you need to use it, you must buy it with money.

After saying that, Rong Momo immediately led several women to take off the cotton-padded clothes that Liang's mother was wearing.

"Hmph, these are my princess's clothes. Even if a dog wore them, I would never let a disrespectful, selfish, and ungrateful wretch like you wear them."

Wearing only a thin shirt, Liang's mother squatted on the ground with her arms wrapped around her, shivering from the cold. She wanted to resist and even wanted to shout out her anger.

But she dared not; she had no one left to rely on.

She regretted it a little.

She regretted her impulsive decision to sever ties with her two children, but she was too proud to beg her unfilial sons for forgiveness.

The more Liang's mother thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She glanced at the people surrounding her with resentment in her eyes, then started to cry loudly, cursing Liang Tianling and his sister incessantly.

She doesn't care; she's the most pitiful person in the world.

Rong Momo and the others were disgusted and dragged Liang's mother outside to avoid disturbing others and affecting everyone's mood.

Then, he led his men to move all the things in Liang's mother's room that did not belong to her, and also moved all the firewood piled up outside the house.

The room was left empty.

Black Wind Village doesn't have many rooms to begin with, but Mother Liang insisted on having a room all to herself.

Isn't that what she got for reaping what she sowed?

If she were living with someone else, Rong Momo wouldn't have been so ruthless. Out of consideration for living together, she wouldn't have let her get cold.

It was getting dark, and the temperature outside was getting colder.

Liang's mother couldn't stand in the cold wind for even fifteen minutes before rushing back to her room. Then she was dumbfounded, and her scream instantly pierced the entire Black Wind Village.

"Aaaaaah, it's all gone! My blankets, my fruits and snacks, my clothes—where did they all go?! Aaaaaah, this is too much! You guys are so mean..."

The crowd couldn't help but spit: Shameless! Are those things in your mouth your own?

It's clearly the princess's!
