Song Taipeng and Li Shi both exclaimed in surprise, "What?!"
However, only Song Taipeng was genuinely taken aback. Li Shi was fully aware that Song Shuyao intended to target Song Feiwan. What puzzled her was how Song Feiwan had managed to survive.
Song Shuyao omitted the part where Song Feiwan had confronted Xiao Yan privately and recounted the events after she had thrown her into the lake. Despite this, her sister not only referred to her as the late Prince Chen's fiancée but also slandered her daughter, locking her in and beating her!
Song Shuyao was already feeling both pain and fear, which made her cry bitterly. "Father, I am wronged!"
Song Taipeng's face turned pale with anger. "Song Feiwan, do you even know what you've done? Where did you meet Prince Chen and get involved with him? You ruined Old Master Rong's birthday banquet, offended the Crown Prince, and now you spread such lies! It seems you want to bring disaster upon the entire family!"
Li Shi's expression was equally grim as she reproached Song Feiwan. "Your sister spoke up for you out of kindness, yet you slandered her in front of so many people and even planned to beat her when you returned home! How cruel can you be?"
She began to cry as well, turning to Song Taipeng. "My lord, I have been with you for nearly twenty years, giving birth to children and raising your stepdaughter. I never expected that after all my hard work, I would be treated like this! My life is so miserable!"
Song Taipeng felt a pang of sympathy for her. "Do not worry, my dear. I will ensure that this matter is resolved satisfactorily for you both!"
Song Feiwan smirked slightly, interrupting their display of feigned sympathy without any mercy. "What I said is entirely true, including the matter of Song Shuyao colluding with the Crown Prince."
Song Shuyao's eyes flickered, and she stubbornly retorted, "I didn't! Father, Mother, please believe me!"
"Shuyao, don't be afraid. Your father knows what kind of person you are," Song Taipeng reassured her.
His disappointment in Song Feiwan had turned into outright disgust. "Song Feiwan, all those books you've read must have gone to waste! A woman's reputation is of utmost importance; how can you defame it so recklessly? Today, I will break your legs as an apology to your sister!"
"Save your breath," Song Feiwan replied coolly. "Even if you're pretending to be ill, you're no match for me."
"!!"
"Look at you—walking steadily with a healthy complexion and speaking robustly. You hardly seem ill at all! Claiming sickness when advice fails is just your usual tactic."
The act was quite convincing; she thought to herself that while they were trying to curry favor with the Rong family, they still needed to maintain a facade of integrity by sending their two daughters to celebrate a birthday.
It was fine outside, but don’t try this nonsense in the house; I am not one of your subordinates who will flatter your lofty ideals.
Song Taipeng felt exposed by a teenager’s words; his face flushed red with embarrassment and fury as if he might explode from anger.
You, you trembled as you pointed at Song Feiwan for half a day without saying a word.
Li quietly exchanged a glance with Song Shuyou: What has happened to her?
Song Shuyou shook her head: I don’t know either!
Never mind, Li spoke coldly: How dare you! Your marriage is not something you can meddle in! What we are discussing now is the trouble you’ve caused. If this isn’t handled properly, the entire Song family will face disaster!
With determination, she turned to Song Taipeng and suggested: Master, the eldest daughter is full of lies, disrespectful to her husband, ungrateful to her elders, and has bullied her younger sister. She should be punished severely!
Song Taipeng calmed down and did not reject Li's suggestion. He looked at Song Feiwan as if she were already dead.
Yet there was no trace of fear on Song Feiwan’s face.
You are mistaken, she said to Li. Every single one of these accusations belongs to Song Shuyou. Don’t believe me? Dongzhi!
The maid standing beside her immediately responded: Yes, my lady!
Go retrieve the items hidden in the second young lady’s bedchamber.
Yes!
Dongzhi turned and rushed inside, causing Song Shuyou to panic at last, her face draining of color as she tried to stop her.
But Song Feiwan blocked the way, holding the door latch with great authority.
Anyone who dares to move will have their legs broken!
