Chapter 33, Heartbreaking Daughter
Li Yunzhi's words startled Jiang Hou. A confrontation and an apology from the 12th prince? How could the Jiang family have such a big face?
"No, no, Ruan Ruan has already explained so much. You hit someone first, and Ruan Ruan hasn't even said anything yet. Since the 12th Prince admitted that he was the one who did it, why are you still holding a grudge? Do you expect the 12th Prince to apologize to you?!"
Even Jiang Hou was anxious. His Highness the Crown Prince really dared to summon the 12th Prince.
"Father, you truly are my father. Father and daughter are of one mind, we understand each other perfectly!"
Marquis Jiang... what does this have to do with whether he is your biological son or not?
“Unlike them, no matter what I say, they won’t believe me. My aunt only cares about her own child, so how could she believe me!”
Zhang...it seems like she's the one who's in the wrong.
“How could I, a little girl who was so malnourished that she fainted, dare to hit him? Auntie, how could you believe that? Is it because Ruan Ruan isn’t your biological daughter?”
Zhang's family...
"He hit me first today, and I didn't even say anything. Even if I did hit you, you deserve it. Who told you to bully me, right, Daddy!"
Jiang Ruanruan leaned directly against Jiang Hou.
He then used his greasy little hands to grab a chicken leg for Lord Jiang and stuff it directly into Lord Jiang's mouth.
Lord Jiang... This scene seems familiar, and those hands, are they clean?
Seeing such a loving father and filial son, Lu Ziyuan clenched his fists and sniffled with a wronged expression.
"Yes, sit down and eat properly!" Jiang Hou thought there was nothing wrong with it and wanted to settle the matter directly.
He waved his hand, wanting Jiang Ruanruan to go back to her seat, and then looked at the chicken leg in his hand, wondering whether to eat it or not.
"Okay, dear Daddy, your precious daughter is taking her leave. I'll still give you a chicken leg tomorrow!" She stuck out her little tongue slightly and made a funny face to provoke Lu Ziyuan.
Jiang Huai'an... self-proclaimed herself his darling, his beloved daughter. Oh, you can do that too.
Seeing Jiang Ruanruan's smug look, Lu Ziyuan burst into tears.
"Uncle, did you hear that? My stepfather is biased! They ganged up on me and bullied me! Waaah! I'm the one who got beaten up, so why is it my fault?!"
Lu Ziyuan saw Jiang Ruanruan and Jiang Hou being so intimate.
He was even more upset, so since he wasn't his biological son, this stepfather trusted Jiang Ruanruan even more.
She snuggled directly into Park Ha-ja-pyeong's arms and cried pitifully.

This scene overheard Jiang Hou's dream of a loving father and filial son.
Lu Ziyuan had a grievance but didn't seek help from Zhang Shi; instead, he went to Xia Ziping, which shows that he was very familiar with this person and trusted him to the point of dependence.
Even when Lu Ziyuan tried to please him, he had never snuggled into his arms so intimately.
After spending more than half a month together, it's still not as good as a stranger I hardly ever see.
Or... we see each other often.
"Alright, alright, eat properly. How can your uncle eat like this? Your father is afraid that you will fall out with the 12th Prince. Since Ruan Ruan is on good terms with the 12th Prince, isn't that a good thing? Why can't you learn from him? It's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy!"
Mr. Zhang was somewhat embarrassed; the child had forgotten everything he had said before.
Zhang was telling Lu Ziyuan not to pursue the matter any further, but her words were sarcastic and clearly implied that even if Jiang Ruanruan was capable of manipulating the 12th prince, then Lu Ziyuan was simply outmatched.
"Hmph, that's right, that's right. Ziyuan, you attacked Ruanruan first. The 12th Prince is the one who hates evil the most. Maybe that's why he came to uphold justice. Wouldn't that make you the villain? If this continues, we might have to investigate why you bullied Ruanruan."
Madam Jiang sneered.
"Because she infected her mother with madness, causing her mother to be ridiculed by outsiders, it's all Jiang Ruanruan's fault!"
Lu Zirou couldn't bear to see her brother so aggrieved. They were twins, and she was also standing there with red eyes and tears in her eyes. When she heard Old Madam Jiang ask her question, she blurted it out.
"Mrs. Zhang, how many times have I told you? Don't let me hear anyone say that Ruan Ruan is crazy again!" Old Madam Jiang's voice suddenly rose.
With a resounding slap, Zhang Shi struck Lu Zirou across the face: "How dare you talk nonsense like that! Your mother clearly suffers from sleepwalking. If you spread this around, people will think your mother has gone mad!"
"Wow..." Lu Zirou burst into tears.

"Shulan is perfectly fine, why hit the child? Even if she did something wrong or said something wrong, just talk it out!" Xia Ziping immediately stood up for her.
Upon hearing the name Shulan, Jiang Hou's gaze deepened.
Lu Zirou felt even more wronged and threw herself into Lu Ziping's arms, and the two children cried loudly.
Xia Ziping could only coax her gently, "Don't cry, don't cry. We'll talk nicely from now on, and you won't get scolded, okay..."
From this angle, these three people do look quite alike.
Madam Jiang's expression was not good.
"I'm tired, I'm going to rest!" Old Madam Jiang left without even eating.
"I'm full, you can eat slowly..." Jiang Hou looked at him with a hint of hurt in his eyes.

"Oh dear, does Father's leg hurt? Be careful walking!" Jiang Ruanruan, being the sycophant she was, went up to pretend to help him. Although it was of no use, Jiang Hou suddenly felt a little heartwarming.
After all, when he got up to leave, Zhang and the two children remained unmoved.
"See? It has to be a biological daughter. Other people's children don't care whether their fathers are gone or not!" Jiang Ruanruan said as they reached the door.
Jiang Hou... That hurts.
[Ding dong, congratulations host for obtaining 200 points from "Jiang Hou's Even More Heartbreaking Debt Collection", balance 12500]
Hearing the conversation, Zhang... felt a surge of anger.
"Alright, stop crying. If you cry again, go kneel down!" Zhang shouted coldly.
Lu Ziyuan and Lu Zirou shut their mouths.
The farce has come to an end.
Everyone returned to their rooms.
On the wall of Prince Ning's mansion, eight little boys were shouting, "It's time! Why haven't they come out to perform yet...?"
Zhang returned to her room and waited for a while. Finally, she heard some movement from the back window, so she climbed out the window and went outside.
There was a wall behind them, so there was no way anyone could be there at this time.
"You rascal, what are you doing here!" Then he looked up and saw eight heads.
"Ah..." A scream pierced the sky.
"Hurry up..." The eight little radishes rolled around like startled rabbits, thumping and thumping.
"Ouch!" Cries of pain echoed.
Soon, Prince Ning arrived at the door with several children.
Lord Jiang, who was dragged out of bed by the butler, was forced to work and his face was a little dark.
"Prince Ning, what are you doing here at my Jiang residence in the middle of the night with these children!" Marquis Jiang saw the 12th prince among them, who had a bump on his head that was still bleeding.
The Prince of Ning's heir was bruised and swollen.
There were a few more nearby, covered in mud and filthy.
"Lord Jiang, don't you know why I'm here? It's one thing to disturb the peace by holding a concert in the middle of the night, but to dress up as a ghost and scare a few children, how can you be so immoral!"
At that time, Zhang was holding a lantern, which illuminated her face. The children were so frightened that they ran away in terror and fell off the wall.
