Chapter 568:1 Didn’t Know Someone Could Be So Shameless

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Liu Shimei arrived, the situation at Lotus Courtyard was already in chaos!

Inside the house, there was crying and wailing, needless to say. In the courtyard, servants were kneeling everywhere.

Liu Fuyun stood there, his face covered in grime.

Liu Anhe also looked flustered, his brows furrowed, not daring to utter a word.

Additionally, Zhang Qian and his wife, Madam Wei, were present too. Zhang Qian was gripping a rattan cane, ruthlessly thrashing Zhang Qingxi, who was kneeling in the middle of the courtyard.

Zhang Qingxi’s clothes were in disarray, his skin torn open, howling in pain, “It hurts so much! Father, please listen to me! Mother, please stop Father, tell him not to beat me!”

Could Madam Wei stop him? While Zhang Qian whipped, he scolded, “You beast! You’re worse than an animal, laying hands on your own cousin! Don’t you know Second Young Miss is the backup prince’s consort!”

Madam Wei cried out in tears, “Sir, do you really want to beat him to death?”

Zhang Qian was furious, “If I beat him to death, so be it! I won’t acknowledge him as my son! This isn’t the first time he’s caused trouble. If he couldn’t control his desires, ruining a common girl would have been bad enough, but he dared to harbor wicked intentions towards Second Young Miss! If I don’t kill him, are we waiting for the Emperor to annihilate our entire clan?”

Indeed, defiling the backup prince’s consort was audacious beyond measure!

Liu Shimei watched silently, her heart growing colder. ‘So this scum doesn’t even know how many young girls he’s harmed. Today, he’s finally facing retribution, isn’t he? Meeting me, you still dare to be so shameless. Consider yourself unlucky!’

Turning her thoughts, she wondered, ‘What does it mean to defile an ordinary girl? Can ordinary girls be defiled like this?’

She really wanted to curse out loud: What the hell, it infuriates me!

Madam Wei continued pleading, “But even if you kill him, it won’t help. The situation has already happened. We should find a way to resolve it, shouldn’t we?”

She suggested while crying, “How about this! Let our son divorce Miss Yuan, and we will take responsibility for what we should. Let’s face the consequences!”

Liu Shimei was astonished by this suggestion!

She knew some people were shameless, but she didn’t expect someone could be this shameless!

Her son had a wife, and he was fooling around with a girl outside. Normally, the powerless girl couldn’t compete with a second-generation official like him; she would probably be kept as a concubine or compensated with money.

But now, he got involved with someone she couldn’t afford to offend and wanted to divorce his wife, trying to climb up the Grand Chancellor’s family?

“Madam, your plan is truly ingenious!”* Liu Shimei couldn’t help but view this as a drama unfolding before her eyes. She took a few steps forward, sneering coldly. “By doing so, not only are you avoiding punishment for the wrongdoing, but you are also marrying the legitimate daughter of the Grand Chancellor’s family. Do you think my father is a fool?”

Although Liu Fuyun didn’t want to see this daughter, he had to admit that what she said made sense!

He was furious, his anger billowing. Liu Yan’er was his most important chess piece at the moment. How much had he endured and sacrificed for this move? How could he allow Liu Yan’er to marry such trash, benefiting the Zhang family!

“The backup Crown Princess is not someone you can marry just because you want to!” Liu Fuyun said coldly, “Zhang Qian! Your son has committed such a mistake. If your wife doesn’t understand the consequences, do you still not understand?”

Zhang Qian understood perfectly well; that’s why he was beating his son so severely!

The backup Crown Princess had already lost her chastity, and she was the second one from the Liu family. They forgave the first one, could they forgive the second one?

If they did, the Liu family not only wouldn’t rise but might also face total destruction!

If the Emperor became furious and decided to exterminate the nine generations of the Liu family…

If the tree fell, the monkeys would scatter. Could Zhang Qian, who depended on Liu Fuyun for survival, still climb up in the ranks?

The more he thought about it, the harder he struck. “Today, I will beat you to death, you beast!”

Liu Fuyun turned his gaze toward Liu Shimei and said, “Shimei, go check on Yan’er! How badly is she injured?”
