The other brothers also persuaded him nicely. Only then did Shi Zhong regain some rationality. However, he still pointed at Shi Mu’s nose and said, “Then enter the house and kneel. 1 want to see what else you have to hide!”

Shi Mu smiled bitterly. Seeing that his father had already turned around and left, he thanked Shi Man softly and asked hesitantly, “Sister, is this a stalling tactic to stabilize Father?”

He knew that his sister was anxious to save him, so he had to ask her clearly to prevent her from getting involved in this matter innocently.

He was already an incurable piece of trash. He could not drag his smart and capable sister down with him.

However, when Shi Mu saw Yi Zheng, who was dressed in a suit and looked valiant, he suddenly felt that he did not have the confidence to argue with this man he had once hated the most.

How many ruthless words were stuck in his throat? In the end, they could only turn into a long sigh.

Everyone could finally return indoors. Butler Qi had already gotten someone to prepare hot tea. When they entered, he hurriedly poured a cup for each of them.

It was the coldest day of the year. If they were frozen outside for a while, they might catch a cold, especially Madam and Miss. If anything happened to them, his master would probably start blaming himself after his anger subsided.

Shi Mu entered the living room and was about to kneel down obediently.

Shi Man reached out to stop him expressionlessly. Under Shi Zhong’s unbelievable glare, she said word byword, “I said that Brother didn’t do anything wrong in the entire matter. Why are you making things difficult for Brother?”

Shi Ke’s expression darkened. He felt the pressure around him getting lower and lower. He frowned and advised gently, “Dad, why don’t you listen to Sister first before making a decision?”

He already has his suspicions regarding this matter. Now that he saw Shi Man’s confident expression, he immediately guessed the reason behind it. That was why he admonished his father at this time.

Unfortunately, Shi Zhong was arbitrary and strict in front of his children. He refused to admit that he had done wrong with the beating just now. He roared in the living room angrily, “Unfilial daughter, 1 knew that you and your brother haven’t done anything good recently. Didn’t you say last time that your brother was helping you? Could it be that you ordered all of this?”

“Shut up!” Shen Xian could not take it anymore. She rushed to Shi Zhong and raised her hand to slap him, but she endured it in midair.

This was in front of the children. She did not want to fall out with Shi Zhong, but she did not want her daughter to be insulted for no reason.

Even if this person was her daughter’s biological father, she definitely could not allow him to make baseless accusations!

Shi Man sighed softly. She had expected this situation. She walked helplessly to Shen Xian’s side and slowly held her awkward hand that was suspended in midair. She tried her best to speak softly. “Mom, Dad is also anxious for the two of us. Don’t quarrel with Dad.”

Shen Xian’s eyes turned red. Her heart ached as she held her face. “Be good, baby. If you have anything to say today, just say it. Mommy will support you!”

After saying that, she did not forget to glare at Shi Zhong warningly.

Shi Man’s hard heart suddenly softened, and her expression softened. “Okay, Mom, I promise you that I’ll explain to Dad well.”

Her gaze swept across everyone in the living room and she frowned. “Why isn’t Su Tang here?”

Shi Yu stole a glance in Shi Zhong’s direction and hesitated. In the end, he explained softly, “Su Tang tried her best to stop Dad just now and even took a solid hit on her body. Dad said that this was our family matter and didn’t let her interfere, so he locked her in her room.”

Shi Man felt her entire heart ache. The blood vessels in her eyes suddenly climbed up, and her fists trembled beside her. “Dad, you hit Su Tang?”

Shen Xian was afraid that things would become more and more chaotic, so she hurriedly pulled her daughter back to prevent her from being rash. “Your father didn’t do it on purpose. Just now, he wanted to hit Shi Mu. Unexpectedly, Su Tang suddenly rushed up the stairs and stood in front of Shi Mu. I’ve already gotten someone to treat her injuries. She’s recuperating in her room.”

Shi Man closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She gritted her teeth.

Yi Zheng shook her arm, indicating that she should not flare up over Su Tang first.

Only then did Shi Man suppress her anger and slowly tell her about her two meetings with Bai Xue.

Shi Mu was dumbfounded. It turned out that his sister had discovered his secret so early, but she did not expose him directly. Instead, she helped him solve his problem behind his back.

He lowered his head with red eyes, wishing he could punch himself to vent his anger.

There was probably no brother more useless than him in the world. He actually made his sister worry about him!

After hearing the cause and effect, Shi Zhong realized that he had gone overboard just now. He looked away awkwardly, his expression still cold. “According to you, Su Tang should know the truth. Why didn’t she…”

At this point, even he could not continue.

At that time, Su Tang heard the commotion and rushed down from upstairs. She probably wanted to tell him the truth, but she did not expect to be almost seriously injured by him.

However, he looked at his angry daughter in front of him and his drooping son behind her. He could not bring himself to apologize..
