No one could deny that the talents which Hyunjung and Jungwoo flaunted were incomparable to Sangwoo. Furthermore, Sangwoo's father was Shen Feng's most valued second son then, and he could very well be the next Vermilion Bird Family Head, Shen Duan.
Even Shen Yue did not dare to shed off all pretense of cordiality with Sangwoo.
"Grandfather, even though seventh sister is already fourteen years old, but her wisdom is as innocent as a four-year-old child. With her current intelligence, how could she possibly grasp the opportunity to seize the timing when the guards left their post and infiltrate into the dungeon?" Sangwoo said in a loud and clear voice. "Even though I haven't interact much with seventh sister, I know that she rarely leaves her courtyard, let alone go to the dungeon entrance on the other end of the estate. To forcefully insist that she unintentionally went to the dungeon and coincidentally encountered the period when the guards were absent, wouldn't that be too much of a coincidence?"
What a heaven-shocking twist!
Lisa stood obediently on the same spot, but internally, she applauded Sangwoo's abrupt appearance and fantastic argument! From her memories, she knew that Sangwoo rarely had private interactions with Lisa, but he was rather polite to her in public and did not criticize her as harshly as the other Vermilion Bird Family members. However, since both of them barely had any friendly interactions, Lisa was taken aback when Sangwoo spoke out for her.
When Sangwoo spoke out against his uncle, he did not really do it to help Lisa. Instead, it was because he wanted to get the unruly twins into trouble.
Lisa was happy to stay idle at her spot. Since everyone thought that she was an 'idiot' who 'would not understand' anything they said, no one would bat an eyelid if she smiled.
Therefore, Lisa adopted the attitude of watching a good show and enjoy the imminent internal fight.
As expected, Shen Yue's expression soured at Sangwoo's words. The twins had probably guessed their father's intention to protect them, and they hated Sangwoo, who abruptly spoke against their father. They were already at odds with Sangwoo, and since then, they loathed him even more.
Sangwoo's words were like a lighter fuse as it set off suspicions in everyone's heart.
Shen Feng calmly looked at the smiling Sangwoo and then at Shen Yue who had a submissive expression on his face.
"The instigator of this matter is not important. I have something more important to inform everyone here today," Shen Feng said slowly.
Shen Yue inwardly relaxed. He did not care about Lisa's fate but how could he possibly allow things to continue if it concerned Hyunjung and Jungwoo?
Sangwoo was momentarily stunned but did not say anything else. Even though he was highly regarded by Shen Feng, he was still Shen Yue's junior in terms of seniority, and he couldn't oppose him excessively.
That's all? Lisa inwardly raised her brow. She thought that Shen Yue and Sangwoo would continue to fight it out, but the altercation ended just like that. She did not understand Shen Feng's mysterious attitude. He called the meeting to interrogate her for her supposed crimes, and then suddenly, it was no longer important? Which play were they trying to act out?
Lisa had so many questions in her head, but she did not forget herself. She had to continue to play the fool and to watch the show. Anything other than that was supposed to be none of her business.
Shen Feng paused momentarily and said, "All of you assumed that I'm furious about someone trespassing the restricted area. However, do you know what kind of magical beast was imprisoned in that dungeon?"
