âRuolan,â knowing what her daughter-in-law was thinking, Old Madam Lan was the first to intercept the considerate woman. Gently rubbing Dong Roulanâs hand, âYour fatherâs body has long been cured. You donât have to worry about him, rather itâs you weâre most worried about. If we didnât come today to support you then others might really think our family doesnât care about you!â
âGrandpa, Grandma,â puffing up her cheeks, Lan Xiaoyun (girl cousin) promptly comes forward to snitch to her elders. âYou donât even know it yet. This horrible woman not only harmed Mother, she even switched the medicine that was meant for her for a fake! Then as if that wasnât enough, she even persecuted me for trying to refuse the idea of her marrying me off to that whatever third prince of this kingdom. Oh yes, Grandfather, she also took advantage of our absence and kidnapped Redsy!â
âAndâ¦â Choking on her words, the girl pauses to glance at Bai Yan before speaking again: âIf not for Cousin coming in the nick of time with me, I fear both of you wouldâve never been able to see Mother again.â

Scared to the point where his heart was thumping hard, Old Lord Lan was dreadfully white at the fate that couldâve befallen his family member.
âSon,â it was then Bai Yan signaled the baby with a wink.
Understanding his motherâs intent, Bai Xiachen needed no urging to move forward. Toddling over with his little feet, he gently stroked the old grandpaâs chest to sooth the manâs unstable emotion.
âGrandfather, donât be so angry. Mother said those who do bad things will eventually face retribution so thereâs no need for you to push your body because of those evildoers.â
Perhaps itâs the soft comforting voice of the little steam bun, or maybe something else entirely, but it sure did the trick here. Snapping the chair handle apart, the old grandpa reverts back to his solemnly stern self: âMy daughter-in-law faced such maltreatment at your home, shouldnât the Dong House give me a proper answer for this?â
Answering that demand with a weak smile, Old Lord Dong couldnât refute the claim: âYes, I canât deny itâs our family in the wrong here. I couldnât protect Roulan so hereâs the perpetrator. Whatever you want to do with Fu Bao Yun is up to your Lan House now.â
âDestroy her cultivation and then toss her into the Demon Beast Forest. She can fend for herself there!â
Stricken with fear in her eyes, Fu Bao Yun literally screamed out of panic there: âNo, I donât want to go to the Demon Beast Forest! I donât want to be a cripple!â
Even if her strength remains intact, the outcome would be the same if she were to be tossed into that forest. Not to mention they intend to destroy her cultivation too.
Thatâs equivalent to a death sentence!
âWould both In-laws have any objection to my punishment?â Despite his sentence sounding like a question, Old Lord Lan wasnât exactly expecting a refusal from the elders of the Dong House.
Sure enough, Old Lord Dong matches the other elder with a supportive smile: âAs per your wish, I got no opinion on this matter.â
âNo!â Scrambling up from the ground like the frantic mess that she was, Fu Bao Yun pounced in front of her husband and refused to let go of that leg: âRou Qin, no matter what were husband and wife. Out of consideration for all the years we were together, please save me!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âRou Qin, I know I did wrong to your sister, but isnât she just fine right now? You canât do this to me, you people canât take my life for this!â
