After being tortured for so many days, Wei's once beautiful face had become haggard, and her clothes were stained with blood, making her look very disheveled.

However, Bai Feng would not feel any sympathy for a vicious woman like Wei Shi. Wei Shi should have thought about this outcome when she plotted to murder her father.

The Bai family has been passed down for thousands of years. Don't they realize that they can be wiped out so easily?

Today, Bai Feng wore a sky-blue robe with a silver base and subtle patterns, and several accessories hung from his black jade belt, giving him the air of a refined young gentleman.

However, Bai Feng's face was very ugly. He sat in the dark chair and slowly picked up the tea in his hand: "Wei family, who exactly is behind you? You should understand now that you have become a discarded pawn. If I hadn't been keeping a close eye on you these past few days, do you think you would have survived to this day?"

What do you mean by that?

"Literally, there have been many people who want you dead these past few days. If I hadn't taken precautions in advance, you would already be a corpse, and you wouldn't have any chance to eke out a living here."

Bai Feng looked down on Wei Shi in the slightest; she was just a lowly concubine who harbored evil intentions and plotted to harm the head of the household.

"I want to see Chang'er. If Chang'er is gone, what's the point of my life?"

"Bring Bai Chang in."

Next came another touching scene of mother and son reuniting, but unfortunately, Bai Feng watched coldly from the sidelines, slowly sipping his tea.

"The poison that day won't kill him, but his life is now entirely in your hands."

Don't try to reason with him about brotherhood or family ties; Bai Chang will definitely have his name erased from the family genealogy.

"I can tell you everything I know. My only condition is that you let Chang'er go, give him some money, and let him stay far away from your Bai family so he can live a peaceful life."

“You have no right to negotiate with me. You know I have limited patience. Bai Chang should be having a good time these past few days.” Bai Feng said meaningfully.

Bai Chang immediately shook his head in terror: "No, no, no, Mother, please save me, save me, I don't want to be a medicine person!"

These past few days, Zishu and Yingxun have been forcing him to test drugs, and he's been subjected to all sorts of needle pricks, forced medication, and drug trials. He's in unbearable pain, feeling like he's living a life worse than death, and he's going crazy.

Knowing that her fate was sealed, Lady Wei embraced Bai Chang and wept bitterly.

"My poor child, Bai Feng, I beg you to spare him."

"Guards, take Bai Chang away." Bai Feng remained unmoved, gently placing the teacup on the table without spilling a single drop of tea.

"I told you, Bai Chang's life is entirely in your hands, so you'd better think it through carefully."

“I am the illegitimate daughter of the second branch of the Tong family. I was raised outside with my mother from a young age, living a life of hiding. I was born beautiful and had some talent. I was sent away at the age of six to receive training, and my hands were stained with blood. My chance encounter with the master was also arranged by the Tong family, and I had no choice but to do as they said.”

"Don't act so innocent. You brought this on yourself." A little illegitimate daughter like you could have survived if she had behaved herself. This Wei woman must have had some ulterior motives.

"Second Master Tong is threatening my mother's life. If I don't comply, my mother will surely die. What can I do?"

“Since you entered the manor, your father has doted on you. If you had explained the situation, your father would never have stood idly by. You willingly became a spy for the Tong family and poisoned your father. You never had a single sincere thought for your father. You ended up being abandoned by the Tong family. It is entirely your own fault and you have no one else to blame.”

"Yes, it's all my fault. I trusted the Tong family too much, believing that as long as I listened to them, they would let my mother go. My mother might already be gone."

"Only the dead are truly safe."

"It was my fault. I was blinded by greed and harmed the master."

"It's too late." Bai Feng remained calm. What use would it be for him to cry and repent now? That was the Heavenly Star Poison, a rare poison that none of the three alchemists were confident they could cure.

He truly couldn't believe that his wise priest father would die at the hands of such a wretched woman.

"Over the years, who in the manor has been in contact with you? You'd better tell me the truth, I'm not like my father." I will never make the same mistake again in my life.

Wei began to scribble a long list on the paper. Very well, these people were all spies within the Bai family; Bai Feng would certainly not let them get away with it.

"The matter of the blood pool was also Tongmu's idea."

"No, this is a cultivation technique I obtained by chance. It uses the blood of women born during the Yin hour to create a blood pool, supplemented by various spiritual herbs, which can rapidly increase one's cultivation level and maintain a perfect appearance."

Upon hearing this, Bai Feng found it utterly absurd. If it was about maintaining her appearance, "A top-grade youth-preserving pill would suffice. Why go through all this trouble? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Bai Feng pondered, perhaps thinking that Wei Shi's face wasn't original. He wondered what kind of evil technique she had practiced to become like this, making his father infatuated with her.

"What ability do you have to capture so many women silently and build a basement and a blood pool in my Bai mansion? It seems you still have many secrets you are unwilling to tell me. No matter, I will go and see Bai Chang to see what he thinks."

"Bai Feng, he knows nothing. He's innocent. I did it all by myself. Please let him go. Please let him go."

“Innocent? With such a vicious mother like you, do you think I would believe he is innocent? The Bai family has two young masters, that’s enough.”

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk. Let Chang’er go. The person was brought by Tongmu. There’s a secret passage in the basement that leads to the outside world.”

"Where is the secret passage? Don't push me, my patience is limited." Bai Feng's eyes were icy cold, just like Di Yuegui's.

“I will have people investigate everything you have told me. If there is even a single lie, your Chang’er will suffer a fate worse than death.”

The Wei family is indeed no longer able to cause any trouble. Originally, it was thought that since she had risked her life for the Tong family and done such a big thing, Tongmu should at least keep his promise and rescue her and Bai Chang.

Instead of rescue, she received a death sentence.

Who is Tongmu? He's promiscuous, fickle, and utterly heartless. He has so many illegitimate daughters and children, yet he's never shown any special favor to any of them.

In Tongmu's mind, what did blood ties and family affection mean? People were only divided into useful and useless. She had been used up and would definitely be abandoned. Wei knew very well what had happened to her brothers and sisters, so she did not doubt Bai Feng's words.

If it weren't for Bai Feng, she wouldn't be alive today.
