He Ning looked at his father in disbelief upon hearing this.

He Zhiqian continued, "He Ning, if you don't apologize to Lian'er today, don't call me father anymore!"

He Ning staggered backward, but fortunately Song Mama caught her.

She leaned against Granny Song and looked at Madam He, who was standing next to He Zhiqian.

Madam He also looked at He Ning, her complex gaze carrying a hint of disapproval.

He Ning felt like he was about to suffocate.

She had thought her parents wouldn't side with her, but when they actually stood in front of her and showed such favoritism towards Yun Lianhua and He An, she felt very upset!

It was as if all her strength these past few days had been a lie; she felt teetering on the brink of collapse.

Granny Song supported He Ning with all her might, and asked anxiously, "Madam, are you alright?"

She was also furious at Master He's attitude, but after all, he was the master of her household.

Her son and husband still rely on the He family for a living, so she can't afford to offend them!

Seeing his maternal grandfather treat his mother this way, Yunmo's face darkened, but he had been taught to respect his elders since childhood, so he dared not speak.

Yun Lianhua was very satisfied with this situation.

She knew that once her maternal grandparents appeared, they could break He Ning's strength.

Seeing that He Ning did not apologize as he had instructed, He Zhiqian frowned in displeasure and said, "He Ning..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Yun Chuwei interrupted him.

"Old fool, who are you talking to?" Yun Chuwei asked unhurriedly.

He Zhiqian turned to look at Yun Chuwei, his brows furrowing slightly.

He naturally recognized Yun Chuwei; legends circulated in the court about how she had won the emperor's favor.

But how dare she call him an old scoundrel?

He was her maternal grandfather, her elder! How dare she?

He Zhiqian said, "Yun Chuwei, I am your maternal grandfather. How dare you speak to me like that? You are incredibly audacious!"

Yun Chuwei said nonchalantly, "I acknowledge you, you are my maternal grandfather. I don't acknowledge you, you are just an old geezer! For someone like you who dared to bully my mother, calling you an old scoundrel is already giving you a lot of face."

"You..." He Zhiqian's beard trembled with anger upon hearing this.

Yun Chuwei raised her voice and said, "Huo Qingjue!"

Huo Qingjue did not appear; instead, another Embroidered Uniform Guard appeared.

The embroidered guard approached Yun Chuwei and said, "Brother Huo has gone back to rest. What are your orders, Miss?"

Yun Chuwei raised her chin towards He Zhiqian and said, "I don't like this old bastard. Beat him up! I'll take responsibility for any injuries or deaths!"

Upon hearing this, the Embroidered-Clad Guard immediately stepped forward and threw a punch.

Upon hearing Yun Chuwei's words, He Zhiqian angrily retorted, "Yun Chuwei, how dare you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was punched by the Embroidered-Clad Guard and sent flying, crashing to the ground with a thud.

Without He Zhiqian's support, Yun Lianhua also fell to the ground with a thud.

He Zhiqian was furious, shouting, "Yun Chuwei, I will definitely impeach you! I will definitely..."

He was only halfway through his sentence when he was kicked away by a guard, screaming in pain.

Next, if he spouts any nonsense, he will be kicked away by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

In the end, he dared not utter any more threats and could only plead in a low voice, "I was wrong, please let me go! Please let me go..."

However, before Yun Chuwei could call a halt, the Embroidered Uniform Guards had no intention of stopping.

Everyone present was stunned.

Especially Yun Mo, he never expected that Yun Chuwei would dare to do what he wouldn't dare to do! And to beat someone to death!

He Ning never expected that Yun Chuwei would not hesitate to hit her own father, Yun Chuwei's maternal grandfather, without any hesitation. And she didn't intend to stop!

Seeing this scene made her feel happy.

However, fearing someone might die, she said to Yun Chuwei, "Weiwei, tell him to stop. Leave the rest to me!"

She's Weiwei's mother; she can't always expect Weiwei to stand up for her!

It should be her protecting Weiwei.

Upon hearing this, Yun Chuwei waved her hand at the Embroidered Uniform Guard and said, "Alright."

The embroidered guard indeed stopped, and he cupped his hands towards Yun Chuwei: "Please call me again if you need anything, Miss!"

Seeing that the Embroidered Uniform Guards had stopped, Madam He dared to go over and help He Zhiqian up.

At this moment, He Zhiqian was covered in injuries, his face bruised and swollen.

He stared at Yun Chuwei, wanting to say something.

Yun Chuwei spoke coolly: "Lord He looks much more pleasing to the eye this way! I advise Lord He to speak properly and think things through before he speaks, otherwise I don't mind making you even more pleasing to the eye!"

He Zhiqian choked, unable to utter the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He could only turn his gaze to He Ning.

He discovered that Yun Chuwei was a tough nut to crack, while He Ning seemed easier to bully.

So he glared at He Ning.

But he didn't dare to speak, he could only glare at He Ning.

After all, he was afraid that Yun Chuwei would go crazy again.

He Ning took a deep breath. She felt that she couldn't be outdone by her own daughter!

She straightened her back and said, "If Father feels unworthy to be my father, then I don't mind severing our father-daughter relationship. From now on, we will have no relationship!"

Upon hearing this, He Zhiqian's eyes widened slightly, clearly incredulous.

"You... fine... fine, fine, fine, He Ning, now you think you're all grown up... you... I'll pretend you never existed..."

Madam He suddenly spoke, interrupting He Zhiqian: "Master!"

He Zhiqian then realized what was happening, turned his head angrily, and said nothing more.

Madam He then looked at He Ning and said gently, "Ning'er, your father is just too anxious. Don't take his words to heart! We came here today to discuss the matter of the Marquis and your sister with you!"

He Ning fell silent after hearing this, wondering what her mother wanted to say.

After what just happened, she had decided to give up on her father. But what her mother said next might change her mind about whether she still wanted her mother!

Seeing that He Ning remained silent, Madam He continued, "Look, this has already happened. We can't let the Marquis and your sister's child be unable to recognize each other, can we? Why don't you agree to let your sister enter the manor? Your sister is already willing to be a concubine. As her older sister, you can't deny her a way to live, can you?"

Madam He paused for a moment, then continued, "The Marquis's bloodline is thin, and the collateral branches are not prosperous. The old lady will certainly not allow the Marquis's bloodline to be scattered outside! It's better for you to decide this matter than for the old lady to do it, isn't it? If you do it, at least you'll get a reputation for being virtuous!"

Looking at Madam He, He Ning had already made up her mind. She said, "Mother, I'll just ask you one question. When did you find out about the Marquis and my sister?"
