"Sister, what are you doing? Uncle Seyu is back," Suzie exclaimed upon seeing Su Zinian and Su Li leaving.
"What's happening? Where are Uncle and Aunt?" Su Zimo asked, concerned.
"I didn't see them," Suzie shook her head.
Su Li furrowed his brows and quickly walked out.
"Brother, where are you going? Wait for me," Su Qi hurriedly followed him.
"Sister, you enjoy a comfortable life in this Bright Moon Villa, but have you ever considered Father's feelings?" Su Ziyun's voice reached their ears as they reached the door.
As they stepped out, they coincidentally met Su Zinian, who was on his way to find Su Xin.
Upon seeing Su Zinian, Su Ziyun's narrowed eyes were filled with jealousy. It had only been a few days, but Su Zinian appeared more beautiful than before, wearing luxurious silk. Su Ziyun felt intensely jealous of her sisters' beauty and their status as Father's daughters. She was not as beautiful as Su Zinian and Su Zimo, and what puzzled her even more was that Su Zinian was accompanied by two maids, almost as if she were the eldest lady here.
"Hmph! Feelings? What feelings are you talking about? If you can't secure your desired position or marry the Third Prince, let me tell you, from now on, our siblings will have no relationship with your Su family," Su Zinian said, turning his face away.
"Su Zinian, how dare you!" Su Weichen couldn't hold back anymore. What had been happening recently? Nothing was going well.
"Don't worry, my lord," Xie Lengchan comforted her husband, patting his hand.
Xie Lengchan stepped forward and looked at Su Zinian with an affectionate expression.
"Nian'er, you can't sever the ties of blood just by saying so. We are still a family. Your words hurt your father and mother deeply! Come home with us! As for General Wang, if you don't want to marry him, can your mother find another suitable husband for you?" Xie Lengchan pleaded, wiping away her tears.
"Stop with your fake sympathy! If it weren't for your interference, how could I have gone against everything like this? Since we were children, you've treated us siblings as outsiders. You've treated us harshly, especially Momo, allowing others to bully her freely. You let your daughter seduce the Third Prince, tarnishing Momo's reputation. All of this was planned by you as soon as you left. What family are you talking about? Do you deserve it?" Su Zinian glared at Xie Lengchan with hatred, wishing she could tear off her facade with her own hands.
"Nian'er, how can you say such things about your mother? Your mother is busy every day and may sometimes neglect you!" Xie Lengchan looked guilty and wiped her tears gently.
"Sister, you mentioned the monthly offerings being harsh. Where did that come from? All the things you wear are provided by Mother. Just look at the clothes in your wardrobe—they are all made by Mother. Every stitch and thread is carefully done. Can you say that they are not fine silk?" Su Ziyun retorted, unable to bear Su Zinian slandering their mother and darkening her face. She was even more furious at Su Zinian's frequent mention of the Third Prince, insinuating that she had seduced him. Su Ziyun possessed the ability to do so, and Su Zimo was a waste who couldn't cultivate anything. Why was her life so unfair? She was born as the Third Princess.
"Adults, it's all because of my incompetence as a concubine. It's all my fault for not taking good care of Nian'er. I've caused Nian'er to misunderstand me so deeply..." Su Weichen's wife appeared pitiful, and Su Weichen couldn't help but roar angrily, "Rebellious daughter, how dare you be disrespectful to your mother! Hurry up and come back with us. You've brought shame to our family."
Su Weichen was infuriated. In front of Wang Ye, he couldn't tolerate any slight. He had forgotten that he was still in the Bright Moon Villa.
"Yes, my lord," the four guards who accompanied them moved to comply with Su Weichen's order, but before they could take a step, a gust of wind swept them away, leaving them bewildered.
Su Li, as swift as the wind, stood in front of Su Zinian.
He stared coldly at the group and warned, "Anyone who dares to cause trouble in the Bright Moon Villa will face my wrath."
His icy voice sent shivers down their spines. Su Weichen remembered that the child before him was a sixth-order cultivator at the Golden Xuan stage. Fear gripped him as he realized his position in the Bright Moon Villa.
"Hmph! Today, I'll show you, you ignorant child, what I'm capable of," Jun Lantian couldn't bear it any longer. Even if he had the patience, he couldn't tolerate being threatened by a five-year-old child.
In an instant, the air crackled as Su Li and Jun Lantian clashed, their movements swift like the wind.
On the second floor of the Mingyue Building, Su Zimo, He Yunting, and Liu Shiyu watched the scene unfold silently from the window.
"Momo, Jun Lantian's cultivation has reached the first stage of the Divine Xuan Stage, and he seems to be on the verge of breaking through to the second stage. Li'er might not be his match," Su Zimo remarked, concern evident in her voice.
