In fact, Li Yuan is the biological daughter of my Prince Kang, Li Hongtao, who was lost for no reason seven years ago. Because her mother died early and she was born ugly, she was often laughed at by the maids in the mansion. She has been closed and weird since she was a child. When she was three years old, she broke a pair of white marble bracelets given to my wife by the Queen Mother. They were ancient relics from the previous dynasty and very precious. After my wife scolded her a few words, she ran away from home and has been gone for seven years. During these seven years, I sent people everywhere to look for her, and my wife felt very guilty about it. Unexpectedly, she had been hiding in Lingjiazhuang all the time..."

When Li Hongtao said this, tears welled up in his eyes. "Since we are reunited today, please help me, Master Ling, and let me take Li Yuan back with me."

"You farted!"

Before Li Yuan could open his mouth to refute, Ling Yun could no longer stand. She strode up to Li Hongtao, not caring about his identity as Prince Kang, and pointed at his nose and scolded, "This is nonsense! It's ridiculous! Prince Kang, you are not afraid of slipping your tongue when you lie. Seven years ago, when I rescued Yuan'er, she was covered with bruises and dying. A little girl of only three years old, but her body was covered with whip marks and burns. Tell me, since you and your wife love her so much, where did these injuries come from?

And her face! Don't tell me she was born ugly. You are not afraid of laughing when you say such things in Lingjiazhuang, my famous medical family. Yuan'er's face is obviously poisoned. What do you mean by born ugly? I think you are born ugly. I guess your face is about to rot in your stomach. You are a hypocrite who looks righteous but is actually a vicious hypocrite!"

"Yun'er, shut up! How do you talk to Prince Kang?"

Ling Wentian shouted angrily. Although he was over seventy years old, he did not look old at all. Instead, he was full of energy, and his pupils were full of sharp light.

Li Hongtao was choked by Ling Yun and his face turned pale. Seeing Ling Wentian shouting angrily, he immediately said coldly, "Grandpa Ling, I was invited to attend the birthday banquet because I thought of your high moral character and prestige. But I didn't expect that your granddaughter would be so arrogant and conceited, pointing fingers and scolding at me, the great King Kang of Meiguo. Grandpa Ling, if this matter gets out, how can I, Li Hongtao, gain a foothold in the court?"

"It's better to be scolded to death by me and get out of the court forever!"

Lingyun cursed, Lingyi frowned and looked at her. Lingyun glared at him unconvinced, stamping her feet in anger and said, "Brother, you clearly know what kind of life Yuan'er led before. Do you want Yuan'er to be taken back by him and tortured to death?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Since Yuan'er has become a maid in Lingjia Manor, she is a member of Lingjia Manor. According to the rules of Lingjia Manor, no matter if you are a slave or a maid, once you leave, you are free to do so as long as you wish. However, if you do not want to leave but are forced to leave by others..."

Ling Yi's eyes wickedly swept across Li Hongtao's gloomy face, revealing a piercing cold light, and continued to speak word by word, "Unless you exchange your life for it, otherwise, you will never take away a single soldier from my Lingjiazhuang, Grandpa, don't you agree?"

He suddenly put on an appearance of respectful and obedience and spoke to Ling Wentian, as if the person who had almost taken someone's life just now and had a cold glow all over his body was not him at all.
