Lin Yong received the task and departed for Linyang County.

The man, on the other hand, returned home, citing health issues...

Upon arriving home and seeing his daughter there, he erupted in anger, berating her: "Liang Qi, as a wife, can't you care more about Sheng'er..."

"Sheng'er was such a good kid, and he treated you so well. And you..."

The man's anger intensified as he glared at his daughter with resentment. He struck her across the face with a slap. "You have such a bad temper because your grandfather and mother spoiled you..."

"As a wife, you should be by your husband's side, supporting him and managing the household. But you've been out and about, messing around..."

The man's trembling hands pointed at the woman he had struck, who lay on the ground. "You're a bad omen; you've cursed your husband to death..."

"Get out... Get out of the Liang family and don't come back."

Death?

The woman on the ground, previously lifeless, suddenly had a glimmer of light in her eyes upon hearing the word. She got up, a smile spreading across her face, looking at the furious man with an almost crazed expression.

"Hahaha, Bai Zhensheng is dead?"

Liang Qi's joy was palpable, as though the dark cloud over her had suddenly dispersed...

Her entire face lit up with brightness.

Seeing his daughter's apparent happiness instead of sadness, the man's expression turned even angrier, his gaze filled with murderous intent. He grabbed a nearby teacup and hurled it at her...

The teacup smashed against her forehead, shards scattering...

Blood trickled down Liang Qi's forehead to her cheeks...

Despite the pain, her eyes still sparkled with light, as if with the man who had caused her suffering gone, she could finally embrace a new life.

Her smile remained unchanged...

She looked at her father with contempt. "Dad, you really are a good dog for the Bai family..."

"I am your real daughter, yet you treat the Bai family so well. From now on, just go and serve them by yourself."

Liang Qi bitterly said, "I've never seen someone repay a favor by sacrificing their own daughter..."

"Is it because you couldn't marry Bai Wanru back then, and you've never forgotten her?"

"Ridiculous saving grace..."

Liang Qi looked at the man with pity. "You've used your whole family's resources to curry favor with the Bai family... Has Bai Wanru ever spared you a glance?"

"Liang Jiangtao, don't forget, without my mother and my grandfather, could you have reached where you are today?"

"Now, how many glances does Bai Wanru spare you?"

Hearing her words, Liang Jiangtao was evidently humiliated and enraged. He raised his hand to slap her again...

Liang Qi dodged his slap, gripping his hand tightly. With a calm tone, she said, "From now on, my brother and I won't be at your beck and call anymore..."

"If you want to please the Bai family, then use the power you have to do it yourself..."

"From now on, you can consider us your children no more."
