The young couple from the farm fights back

Seeing that she was still unwilling to give in, Yu Ming held the silver needle tightly in his fingertips and was about to insert it into her Tianshu acupoint, which is the treasure house of the human body for storing abundant yang energy.

Once the needle is inserted, it will destroy the Yang energy in the body, and it will cause excruciating pain like having one's intestines and stomach cut open.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, an old voice came from the hallway.

Yu Ming stopped what he was doing, and Cheng Hua opened his eyes happily, but his jaw was still pinched tightly, so he could not turn around to ask his grandmother for help.

Upon hearing the voice, Deputy General Cheng and Liang looked up and saw Old Madam Cheng, supported by an old nanny, striding into the hall with big strides on crutches, her face looking terribly gloomy and serious.

"How dare you be so cruel to my granddaughter." Old Madam Cheng didn't need to look at the servants kneeling in the hall. Before she came, she had already learned that her plan with Hua Yatou had been discovered by Liang.

"Liang, you have such a cruel heart. Even if Hua Jie'er wasn't born from your womb, she is still the flesh and blood of our Cheng family. As her legitimate mother, how dare you treat a little girl so harshly?"

Old Madam Cheng came closer and began to criticize Deputy General Cheng, "And you, as the head of the family, yet you let a woman climb over your head. This is a disgrace to our Cheng family. Hua Jie'er is your own daughter. Even if she was born out of wedlock, she was raised in your care and has called you father for over a decade."

Lieutenant General Cheng scolded his old mother. Although he was dissatisfied with his mother's behavior, he felt that her words were reasonable, because Hua was his child after all.

"Mom~" Liang only took a quick glance at her husband's expression and guessed that he had several more intestines in his stomach, and she despised him in her heart.

"I know that I have been married into the Cheng family for more than ten years and have never received your approval, but I, the Liang family, have behaved in a way that is worthy of heaven and earth, and even more so, worthy of the ancestors of the Cheng family. You think I treat my concubine's daughter harshly, but what about my sister Yi? Isn't my sister Yi your granddaughter? You have separated us mother and daughter for this little bitch. I would like to ask, is your heart made of stone? My sister Yi has called you grandmother for more than ten years. Even if you don't like her, has she ever been disrespectful to you?"

Liang's words brought Deputy General Cheng back from his wandering thoughts. He almost softened his heart again and secretly took a deep breath.

Deputy General Cheng knew very well that given the current situation, there couldn’t be any more trouble in the mansion, and he couldn’t let his mother offend the eldest lady, otherwise -

Madam Cheng was stunned by Liang's rebuke, her chest heaving with anger. She pointed at Liang with a trembling finger and cursed, "You are so good, Liang! You have no evidence, so don't even think of putting the blame on me. I think there must be some misunderstanding here. Miss Hua has been wronged."

"What kind of calculation can make all the good things happen to her? If that's true, I, Liang, would like someone to come and plot against me." Liang sneered and kicked the kneeling Green Ring.

The old woman couldn't move. A maid who betrayed her master deserved to be beaten to death. Then she said cruelly, "Although you have only been in the mansion for a short time, in the past two years, Sister Yi has treated you like a sister and cared for you. Has she ever let you suffer the slightest injustice? Come, drag this treacherous maid away and beat her to death."

Old Lady Cheng knew that Liang was taking advantage of the situation to criticize her, and she pursed her wrinkled lips in anger.

Lu Huan, whose face had already turned pale, got up from the ground in fear and said, "Madam, please spare my life. I was wrong. I also have my reasons."

Hearing Lu Huan's words, Madam Cheng's eyebrows twitched, and she immediately pointed at Lu Huan and ordered: "Didn't you hear what the lady said? Hurry up and drag him away and beat him to death."

Lu Huan heard this and knew that the old lady wanted to wipe out the root of the problem. She crawled to Liang's side crying and begged for mercy, clutching the hem of Liang's skirt tightly with both hands, saying, "Madam, I really have no choice. If I don't do this, my father, mother, and brother in the countryside will die. They—"

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up!" Old Lady Cheng's angry shout interrupted Lu Huan's words.

Seeing this, Liang cast a cold glance at the extremely angry Old Lady Cheng. "Mother, why are you so anxious? It's no harm to ask a dying maid to tell the truth. Or are you afraid?"

Madam Cheng seemed to have just come to her senses and straightened her expression: "Hmph, I'm a decent person, so what's there to be afraid of?"

"Of course." Liang sneered, "Mother, you just said that I arrested your granddaughter for questioning without any evidence. Now, I will get all the evidence out of you right in front of you."

Old Madam Cheng was so angry that she gritted her teeth and wished she could tear Liang's face apart.

Liang quickly retracted her gaze and reached out to pinch Lu Huan's face: "Tell the truth, and I might be able to give your family a chance to live."

When Lu Huan heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes, but when he thought of his family, he had to grit his teeth and nodded: "Yes, ma'am."

"As early as half a year ago, I noticed that the girl was different. It wasn't until I accidentally discovered that the birthmark on her shoulder was fake that I realized the girl next to her was the eldest girl in disguise. Our girl was trapped in the side courtyard by her. But the eldest girl asked her family to help me, and I dared not disobey. The old lady even sent people to the countryside to capture my parents and brother. If I didn't comply, they would die."

"Madam, it's my fault. I beg you to have mercy on me and spare my family and let them live." Lu Huan said as she banged her head, and blood soon flowed all over her face.

Madam Cheng shouted angrily, "How dare you, you slut, slander me! Someone, drag her away!"

"Let's see who dares!" As soon as Old Lady Cheng finished speaking, Liang's voice sounded even more sternly: "Whether it is slander or not, we must find out clearly."

After Liang finished speaking, she glanced at Madam Cheng's sullen face with a gloomy expression, and then set her eyes on Lu Huan's face again: "Tell me, where is the second young lady now?"

Lu Huan shook her head anxiously: "This slave really doesn't know, Madam, this slave really didn't lie to you."

As Lu Huan spoke, she suddenly thought of something and quickly pointed to the old woman kneeling beside her. It was the old woman from the side courtyard. "Madam, this servant doesn't know, but Madam Wu must know. She is the eldest lady's confidant. Otherwise, how could the things in the side courtyard be hidden from you, Madam, in the past six months?"

Mrs. Wu watched as the green ring climbed up and bit her. She shook her head and waved her hands in panic, denying it flatly: "No, it's not, madam. I don't know either."

"This was all done by the people sent by the old lady at the manor. I was just covering for them at the gatehouse. I deserve to die, but please spare my life, madam~"

Old Lady Cheng watched as the slaves turned against her one after another, and she was so angry that her old body swayed. If the old nanny behind her had not supported her in time, she would have probably fallen to the ground.

Liang couldn't care less about this at the moment. She turned around and glared at Deputy General Cheng: "You Cheng family are truly a family of one mind. I want to ask the master why he is so cruel to us mother and son."

Deputy General Cheng was stunned by the question, a little confused, "Madam, what do you mean by this?"

Liang really didn't want to laugh, and tears of humiliation welled up in her eyes. "What do you mean? You told me at the beginning that you had sent away the people around the old lady. Then who would be the one working for the old lady now? Isn't it the person you gave me, Master?"

Vice General Cheng:...

My heart was pounding, but I was powerless to refute.

He did send away the old people around his old mother, but his mother was living on the farm, and as a son, he had to send a few useful people to watch over her and fulfill his filial duty.
