What crime should Song Shuyao be charged with?
Li's mother and daughter were putting on a show, and she had truly had enough of it.
It was time to put an end to this farce.
As her words fell, Song Shuyao indeed looked over with disgust and resentment.
Song Taipeng also regained his senses, feeling conflicted.
With Song Shuyao being so accomplished, he not only didn’t want to punish her but also wanted to reward her. However, as the head of the family, if he did that, it would be hard to justify to others.
Li had been with him for many years; just a frown from him made her understand what he was thinking.
At this moment, it was her turn to step in.
Song Feiwan, you haven’t handled this properly yet; don’t let Shuyao shift her gaze.
Song Taipeng looked at Li with satisfaction.
Shift her gaze? Song Feiwan smirked, did I force her to make a lifelong commitment with the Crown Prince, or did I make her lie through her teeth to deceive our elders and frame her sister?
Li widened her eyes: Shuyao and His Highness the Crown Prince are truly in love! As for the concealment, it was forced by circumstances! Unlike you!
Song Feiwan retorted: How is it different? My bond with His Highness the King of Chen is just as strong; why am I considered unfilial while she is not?
As soon as the name "King of Chen" was mentioned, everyone present changed their expressions in unison.
Especially Song Taipeng, who looked around in a panic.
Even though this person had been dead for more than two years, his reputation remained undiminished. Just one title was enough to drop the temperature in the room!
You dare to insult His Highness the King of Chen! Song Taipeng shouted angrily.
His reaction only strengthened Song Feiwan's resolve.
A man of such appearance should be dealt with using the name of the King of Chen!
We are both your daughters; I am betrothed to the King of Chen, and Song Shuyao is also engaged to the Crown Prince. What difference is there between us except that the King of Chen is dead and the Crown Prince is alive? If I am to be punished, then Song Shuyao should share my fate!
Song Feiwan raised her hand dramatically, her voice resonating like thunder; otherwise, it would be an insult to His Highness the King of Chen!
Song Taipeng was responsible for advising officials, and in the past, he had often debated with others in the court. At this moment, however, he pointed at Song Feiwan and found himself completely unable to refute her!
Li Shi was equally furious, her vision darkening as she struggled to counter Song Feiwan's words. She attempted to shift the topic. "How can you behave so rudely towards your father? Do you have any respect for your parents or this family?"
Song Feiwan shot her a piercing glare. "Be quiet; it seems you are the one trying to divert the conversation." She shook the box in her hand, a cold smile creeping onto her lips. "I have undeniable proof of Song Shuyao's affair with the Crown Prince right here. My reputation is already ruined, so I have nothing to lose."
"If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, Song Shuyao can forget about marrying the Crown Prince—perhaps in her next life!"
Song Shuyao asked in horror, "What do you intend to do?"
Song Feiwan replied, "If these letters circulate throughout the city, do you think people will believe that you and the Crown Prince are truly in love? Or will they think you're shameless, plotting to become a second wife while the Crown Princess is still alive?"
Song Shuyao's face, which had regained some color, turned pale again as she staggered backward. "No! You can't do this!" She looked at Li Shi with pleading eyes, hoping for her support.
But Li Shi's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Song Feiwan was determined to fight them to the bitter end! They absolutely could not allow her to live!
Thus, without hesitation, she urged Song Taipeng, "Master, the eldest young lady has gone mad after nearly drowning! If we let her speak recklessly, our entire family will be ruined because of her! The best course of action is to lock her up and find a doctor to examine her properly!"
A glimmer of understanding flashed in Song Taipeng's eyes as he grasped Li Shi's intention.
Song Shuyao brought him too much benefit; he could not allow Song Feiwan to expose their secrets.
Since Song Feiwan had already become a lost cause and insisted on opposing them, they should not blame him for being ruthless!
