Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Her eyes widened like copper bells, and the red veins in her eyes were suffused with an incredulous glare. “Master, why… Why did you hit me!?”

“I hit you precisely because you’re a venomous wretch!” Wu Hongtao ground his teeth.

“Master, have you gone mad?” Madam Wu shrieked.

After so many years of marriage to Wu Hongtao, the two had never exchanged pleasantries, nor had they ever quarreled. Wu Hongtao even praised her as a resourceful woman who managed household affairs meticulously and efficiently, raising their three children.

And now, in front of so many people, he was hitting her?

Wu Hongtao wasn’t insane, but he slapped Madam Wu again, seething with anger. “You wretched woman! Who told you to raise such a ruckus in front of me? This matter… What does it have to do with Miss Su?”

Madam Wu’s eyes almost popped out. “Master, could it be that you’ve been… bewitched by Su Yingxue? She barged into our home, maimed Ruofei, and caused harm to our two sons as well!”

“B*tch! All of that was their own doing, and it has nothing to do with Miss Su or anyone else!” Wu Hongtao vehemently stated, leaning on his cane.

“How can it not have anything to do with her? Wu Hongtao, have you lost your mind?” Madam Wu disregarded her image and dignity, blurting out Wu Hongtao’s name.

In order to ensure Su Yingxue faced the punishment she deserved, she harmed her precious daughter, Wu Ruofei. She had endured it until now, but now Wu Hongtao was retreating.

No! She couldn’t accept this!

“Lord Liang, Su Yingxue must have poisoned my husband. Please, Lord Liang, administer justice for our Wu family and severely punish this murderer, Su Yingxue!”

Madam Wu’s eyes were bloodshot as she pleaded.

“Lord Liang, this case was falsely reported. It has nothing to do with Miss Su. My daughter’s injuries… She caused them herself. It has nothing to do with Jinyan! It’s all my fault as a father, for not disciplining her properly. Please, exonerate Miss Su!”

Wu Hongtao knelt before Liang Jin.

In terms of official position, Wu Hongtao’s rank wasn’t lower than Liang Jin’s. Even though Liang Jin’s Capital Prefecture had to respect him.

However, Wu Hongtao’s kneeling was too swift and sincere, making Liang Jin unable to figure out what had happened.

He questioned once more, “Lord Wu, are you certain it was a false accusation?”

“It’s not just false accusation. 1 want to withdraw the case and apologize to Miss Su. Because of my poor parenting, Jinyan endured this humiliation. It’s all my fault!” Wu Hongtao sobbed.

He even faced Wu Jinyan and bowed his head to apologize. “Jinyan, it’s all my fault. I mistreated your mother in the past and didn’t treat you well either. That’s why you’ve suffered for so many years. This time too… It’s my fault!”

Wu Jinyan’s eyes were red. At this moment, the pent-up frustration in her heart found an outlet, and it all poured out.

“Your apology means nothing,” she declared coldly. “I’ve said it before, I sever all ties with you! You are no longer my father!”

From this day forward, Wu Jinyan had no father.

And she cared not.

Wu Hongtao’s face turned a pallid gray. He begged Liang Jin pitifully, requesting the case’s dismissal. However, Liang Jin also ruled against him for false accusations and imposed a fine.

As Liang Jin slammed the gavel down, before the final verdict was reached, Madam Wu rushed toward Su Yingxue like a madwoman, “You, b*tch! What poison did you administer to my husband, causing him to end up like this? How can I not blame you? It’s all yours…. It’s all your fault!”
