Sheng Lingfeng’s eyebrows twitched. Just as he was about to ask Liuli Xiangsi not to make sarcastic remarks, he heard Xuanyuan Shen’s second son, Xuanyuan Yao, curse angrily, “Old witch! What nonsense are you saying?! My father’s life is on the line now. Don’t make sarcastic remarks here!”

Xuanyuan Ming lowered his head and stood behind Liuli Nuonuo without saying a word. His fiancée, the youngest daughter of the Mo Clan’s elder, Mo Yunyan, also didn’t say a word.

As for his third son, Xuanyuan Jing, he was on the way back from Divine Realm Academy and didn’t have the time to watch this scene. However, Jing Sa stood beside Luo Shihan with a terrified expression. From time to time, she would glance at Xuanyuan Shen’s room with worried eyes.

When Liuli Xiangsi heard Xuanyuan Yao’s words, she suddenly floated in front of him and slapped him hard.

A slap mark instantly appeared on Xuanyuan Yao’s handsome face.

“Where did this bastard come from? How dare you act out in front of me?” Liuli Xiangsi deliberately widened her eyes and looked around. When she saw Luo Shihan, who was standing behind Xuanyuan Yao, she let out a sarcastic laugh and said, “Oh, so you’re the second young master of the Xuanyuan Clan. Your mother is the second mistress. When she sees Nuonuo, she has to call her sister. Then you have to call me aunt.”

“It’s fine if you don’t know how to be polite when you see your aunt, but you actually dare to call me an old witch.” Liuli Xiangsi glanced at Luo Shihan with a smile on her face. Her words were mean. “As expected of a child taught by Madam Luo. You have bad morals since you seduced a married man and became a mistress. The son you raised is also a bastard.”

Xuanyuan Yao’s face turned red with anger when he heard this. His eyes were burning with anger. At this moment, Luo Shihan grabbed Xuanyuan Yao’s arm and reprimanded him fiercely, “Yao’er! How dare you speak to Madam Liuli like that? Hurry up and apologize to her!”

Xuanyuan Yao immediately widened his eyes and said in disbelief, “Mom, you want me to apologize to her? She’s just a promiscuous woman, a slut! Is she worthy of me apologizing to her?”

The disciples of the Liuli Clan cultivated Acacia. There were no restrictions regarding the relationship between men and women. Xuanyuan Yao hated the women of the Liuli Clan the most.

Upon hearing Xuanyuan Yao’s words, before Liuli Xiangsi could make a move, Luo Shihan slapped her son hard and condemned him loudly, “Xuanyuan Yao! You’re really a bastard! Have you been studying in vain all these years? Hurry up and apologize to Madam Liuli. Otherwise, I won’t acknowledge a son like you!”

Xuanyuan Yao was stunned when he saw his mother’s eyes turn red from anger. Then, he understood his mother’s difficulties.

His potential was mediocre, and his mother had relied on being a mistress to enter the Xuanyuan Clan. The only person the mother and son could rely on was Xuanyuan Shen. Now that Xuanyuan Shen’s beast heart was destroyed, their backer had also fallen. Xuanyuan Jing was still young. Then, as the eldest son, Xuanyuan Ming, who was married to the little princess of the Mo Clan, Mo Wuxia, would become the most likely candidate to become the new Patriarch.

If he offended Liuli Xiangsi now, he would definitely suffer.

After understanding the pros and cons, Xuanyuan Yao could only grit his teeth and swallow it. He clenched his fists and lowered his head to apologize to Liuli Xiangsi. “Madam Liuli, I was muddle-headed and ignorant. I spoke too rudely. You’re a magnanimous person, so don’t hold it against me.”

With that, Xuanyuan Yao took the initiative to slap himself twice.

Liuli Xiangsi wasn’t an aggressive person. Seeing that Luo Shihan was quite sensible, she only snorted coldly and walked to Liuli Nuonuo’s side. She asked, “Nuonuo, who ambushed Xuanyuan Shen?” Someone who could enter Xuanyuan Shen’s room and severely injure him must be an acquaintance.

Hearing this, Sheng Lingfeng and the others turned to look at Liuli Nuonuo.

The butler, who was standing behind everyone, also looked at Liuli Nuonuo silently.

The only person who had entered the Patriarch’s courtyard today was Madam. When Madam left, her arm seemed to be stained with blood. Luther didn’t believe that Madam had nothing to do with Xuanyuan Shen being ambushed. However, Madam was only a Supreme Master. How could she defeat the Patriarch?

Everyone waited for Liuli Nuonuo’s answer.

Seeing that his mother didn’t speak for a long time, Xuanyuan Ming said, “Mom, Luther said that you are the only person who has entered my father’s courtyard. If you don’t explain clearly, everyone will think that you are the culprit.” Xuanyuan Ming desperately wanted to hear his mother explain the truth.
