With his father-in-law pointing a sword at him like that, Song Laosan's face was completely drained of color.
He had thought about his future. After General Guan passed away, he would hold great power in the army, immediately abandon his mother and keep his son, kick Guan Yuqin, who was of plain appearance, and marry several beautiful women.
Thinking back to that day, he felt excited. For the past ten years, he had endured humiliation and hardship, showing respect and obedience to General Guan and playing the role of a loving husband to Guan Yuqin. How could he not feel wronged? He wanted to wash away all this unbearable suffering.
But now, the sharp sword pressed against his chest gleamed coldly, severing his hopes.
“Father-in-law, please listen to me.” Song Laosan said urgently, “I have been married before, but it was only by my parents’ orders and the matchmaker’s words. I have no feelings for this Qiao Yunni at all. From the first day I saw Yuqin, I was already fascinated by her and decided that I could not live without her. That’s why I abandoned my wife and children to leave with her. At that time, I did not know her identity.”
"I truly only want to cherish Yuqin for the rest of my life. What do other women have to do with me? I may be a bit ruthless, but all my affection has been given to Yuqin. I have absolutely no regrets towards Yuqin."
Song Laosan said indignantly, "I was forced to marry Qiao Yunni by my family. I had no choice. If I could turn back time, I would rather be an enemy of my family than wait for Yuqin to appear."
He swore an oath: "If I have uttered even a single falsehood, may I descend to the eighteenth level of hell. Father-in-law, I have served you for ten years, always being filial and never disobeying you. Don't you understand my character?"
Seeing that he had no choice but to admit it and say these words, General Guan shook his head.
“Yuqin is my daughter, and I love her dearly, but she is indeed just an ordinary person. As her father, I know that.”
"On the contrary, this woman is beautiful. You say you have no feelings for her at all, but are infatuated with Yuqin. Do you think I would believe such a thing that goes against human nature?"
Song Laosan earnestly said, "That's because Yuanyi has never cared about appearances. He values inner qualities more. Although Qiao Yunni is pretty, she is a vulgar person. What Yuanyi values is Yuqin's kindness and gentleness. These are the most important qualities."
Seeing that he kept smearing his ex-wife in order to protect his own future, General Guan had lost his patience.
He knew countless people, and although this Qiao family girl was not very cultured, she didn't deserve to be described as vulgar.
I can't imagine how Song Laosan will treat his daughter after he dies and she loses her protection.
While this whole mess has left him heartbroken, it has also brought him some relief.
He can still protect his daughter and two grandchildren; it's not too late.
“Song Yuanyi, the more you act like this, the more I see your true nature.”
"So you'd better say less."
General Guan spoke in a deep voice, flicked his wrist, and the tip of his sword pierced through Song Laosan's armor. With a downward slash, the entire armor shattered.
Then the sword's edge pointed straight at his chest, its killing intent sharp and unstoppable.
Song Laosan was so frightened that his pupils dilated and he retreated repeatedly. He did not expect that General Guan would actually attack him.
Feeling the force of the sword aimed at severing his heart meridian, he could barely speak.
"Father-in-law, spare me! Father-in-law, spare me!"
But General Guan, determined to kill, pressed on relentlessly, his eyes filled with icy coldness.
Beyond disappointment, he felt as if he were facing an enemy who had deceived him, his daughter, and his two grandchildren.
This one person completely fooled his entire family.
How could he not kill him?
Song Laosan panicked and tried his best to hide, but General Guan had fought on the battlefield countless times and was very experienced. How could he let him escape?
The sword had already penetrated half an inch, and blood stained the inner garment; it was just waiting to unleash its full power.
"Father, Father!" Two children ran from a distance.
"Grandpa, sob sob sob, don't kill Dad."
Guan Xue took small steps, and when she ran fast, she fell flat on her face, but her hand was still desperately reaching out in this direction.
