"After that, I would meet with Madam from time to time. However, each time it was because Madam had a disagreement with Master and came to me to vent her anger. Later, as time went on, Madam felt it was inconvenient for her to come and go from the mansion, so she arranged for me to work in the mansion. Later, the Third Miss was born..."
Only after he finished speaking did Zheng Yigeng dare to look up at the two people sitting at the head of the table. When he met Sang Hongfu's gaze, he couldn't help but shrink back and lower his head again.
After hearing his words, Long Tianyi looked directly at Sang Hongfu: "Your Excellency, did you just say that Sang Rui is your biological daughter? What does this mean now?"
Sang Hongfu withdrew his gaze from Zheng Yigeng and knelt down with a thud: "Your Highness, I really dare not deceive you! I don't know why this person is talking nonsense here!"
Long Tianyi raised an eyebrow and turned his gaze to Zheng Yigeng: "Manager Zheng, right?"
He owes a great deal to Zheng Yigeng for what he and Sang Rui did at the Prime Minister's residence before, and he always will, after all, she is his daughter.
But the thought that he almost married a servant's daughter as the crown prince's wife made him feel disgusted.
He liked Sang Rui, but only for her understanding and ability to serve others. If he had known she wasn't really the prime minister's daughter, how could he have made so many promises to her?
Now, seeing Zheng Yigeng reminds him of these things, and his expression is no longer so friendly.
Zheng Yigeng looked at him and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, this servant is Zheng Yigeng."
Even if he's stupid now, he should realize that his words have completely offended Sang Hongfu, and only by currying favor with Long Tianyi can he have a sliver of hope.
Long Tianyi gave him a disdainful look: "Are you telling the truth?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sang Hongfu immediately retorted, "You'd better think carefully before you speak, because deceiving the Crown Prince is a capital offense!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yigeng subconsciously glanced at the two of them.
Seeing that he was silent, Long Tianyi continued, "Yes, deceiving this young master is a capital offense, so you must think carefully before you speak. This young master will not falsely accuse anyone."
His last sentence, which seemed to be hinting at something, gave Zheng Yigeng an idea in his mind immediately.
Since Liu Furong has been unkind to him, he shouldn't blame her for being unjust. She can abandon her own daughter whom she watched grow up, so what can't she do? Besides, Sang Rui won't die, but he'll lose his head!
No matter what, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death.
Sang Rui, who had been listening to their conversation from outside, couldn't help but hold her breath. She was very curious about what answer her biological father would give her.
Her happiness in this life depends entirely on his answer.
Her hands, which were hanging at her sides, clenched into fists, and her palms were already sweating.
She took two small steps forward, her pearly teeth involuntarily biting her lower lip tightly...
Zheng Yigeng's complexion was noticeably better than before, while Sang Hongfu's face darkened immediately.
Long Tianyi looked at the two calmly, but his heart was in turmoil.
They were all gambling, gambling on Zheng Yigeng's answer.
Now, Sang Rui is just a gamble in their eyes; whoever wins will be a heavy blow to the other.
Zheng Yigeng's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them a few times before he slowly spoke to Long Tianyi: "Sang Rui is indeed..."
