After hearing Da Furen’s words, Li Chang Le’s gaze changed in vain. She turned her head with a complicated expression to glance at Li Xiao Ran, then said gently: “Nu er understood.”

Then, as if she had set a certain kind of determination, step by step she went in front of Li Xiao Ran and knelt down gracefully: “Nu er gave thanks to Father for the love and care I have received since childhood. From now on I am unable to please the parents1, Father please take care.”

Li Xiao Ran looked at her with a complicated feeling. He eventually sighed, waved his hand and said: “Leave.”

Such offence, if went unpunished, could cause unknown chaos to the Li family.

Li Chang Le got up, glanced at Li Wei Yang distantly, a trace of sneer that is not easy to detect flashed in those beautiful eyes.

Then, with a lift of her head, she quickly ran out. An unforeseen event happening in a flash.

Upon reaching the center of the main hall, Li Chang Le suddenly halted, looked back and said: “The things that Nu er did not do, I will never admit to it! I would rather die to clear my name!” Having said this, she turned her head to rush towards the pillar nearby.

The cries in the entire hall immediately becoming one.

Fortunately, not far away, Li Min Feng moved quickly and was able to grasp her at the last critical moment. Thus, although Li Chang Le hit the pillar, she only fainted.

Da Furen acted as though she would collapse any moment and stumbled over: “My daughter ah!”

Lao Furen exclaimed, almost fainting from the scare.

Li Wei Yang smiled faintly, unclear from her expression whether it is joy or sneer, watching this farce uncannily. Although she did not hear what Da Furen said to Li Chang Le, she could see it vividly now.

Sure enough, old ginger is spicier2.

Unwilling to part with the child, cannot trap the wolf.3 Li Chang Le with this hit, had certainly hit just right.

To be willing to die as testimony, why not wait until you had gone outside before trying to hit the pillar? Why did it have to been at this time?!

Li Xiao Ran’s face suddenly changed. He walked over quickly to check Li Chang Le’s wounds and ordered: “Physician Shen, come take a look quickly!”

Physician Shen quickly brought his medical case over, carefully examined Li Chang Le’s wounds, then sighed in relief, said: “Xiaojie has only fainted…. There should be no worries about her life.”

Li Min Feng‘s pair of eyes were compelling, his words loud and clear as he said: “Father, you see, Meimei is willing to die as testimony, she obviously was wronged to be so.”
