Xu Yan paused holding the teacup. Wasn't Xu Hao said to be unruly? Why was he admitting his mistake so readily?

"Tell me, what went wrong?"

"Whatever the Marquis says is wrong, then it is wrong."

The teacup was placed heavily on the table, and a few drops of tea spilled out.

The Marquis was angry, and the servants dared not even breathe a word. Xu Hao did not react at all.

"You are not my rebellious daughter. Tell me, who are you?" Xu Yan said sternly.

At the same time, two people held Xu Hao hostage.

Xu Hao was forced to kneel on the ground. She understood that the difference was too great and she suspected that she was not the real person.

Xu Hao was not afraid at all. He looked up at Xu Yan and said, "I am Xu Hao."

"My rebellious daughter is not like that." Xu Yan stood up and said condescendingly, "Tell the truth and save yourself from physical pain."

[This old bitch is going too far. Are you trying to kill my daughter? ]

"My Lord, when you came to pick me up, you said that from now on, you would have us." Xu Hao said word by word, "On the way, you bought me some candied haws. I loved them so much at that time."

Xu Yan also remembered that two years ago, although Xu Hao was raised in a farm family, she was a lively and lovely little girl.

She was reluctant to leave the family she had raised, so he coaxed her for a long time, and her older sisters and brothers there also persuaded her, before Xu Hao came back with him.

The little girl eating candied haws in my memory had bright eyes similar to his.

He said: "Father is so good——"

Xu Yan's expression relaxed. Only Xu Hao and he knew about this matter.

Xu Yan waved his hand and Xu Hao was released.

"Xu Hao," Xu Yan's tone softened a little, "Why are you so disobedient?"

He was somewhat fond of Xu Hao at first, after all, she was his biological daughter.

But Xu Jia's repeated grievances made him feel annoyed with Xu Hao.

When Xu Hao talked about what happened at that time, he rarely felt the slightest bit of fatherly love.

"Disobedient?" Xu Hao asked back, "I don't know how I disobeyed."

The fatherly love in Xu Yan's hair is gone.

"You're disrespectful to your parents, unfriendly to your sisters, selfish, and arrogant." Xu Yan looked at Xu Hao coldly, "Do you admit all this?"

Xu Hao: "You mean disrespecting your parents? You haven't even acknowledged me as your daughter. To avoid damaging the reputation of the Marquisate, I have no problem calling you that."

"No sisterly love?" Xu Hao laughed when he said this. "How can I have any sister? You mean Xu Jia? Putting aside whether Xu Jia is right or not, Xu Jia has maids and servants. How can I, alone, bully her?"

"You're selfish. You're talking about the medical book, right? It's gone. I have no money and no one. How can I get another one? Besides, they just force me to take things. Have they ever given me anything?"

"It's even more ridiculous to be arrogant. I just recognize the truth and don't desire things that don't belong to me."

After Xu Hao finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and asked, "My Lord, look at my clothes, look at the yard I live in, look at the food I eat. If you don't want to recognize me, can you let me go?"

After finally meeting Xu Yan, she wanted to try again.

Only then did Xu Yan notice Xu Hao's clothes and thin body, and yes, the dirt on his face.

This is what the children didn't say.

but--

Xu Yan was too proud to tolerate Xu Hao's behavior: "Evil creature, you can really make up anything to control me!"

Xu Hao was disappointed, he knew it was like this.

"You'll know whether it's made up or not once you check." Xu Hao tried his best.

Xu Yan's heart trembled at Xu Hao's disappointed look, but he quickly said, "No need to investigate. Your mother can't possibly treat you harshly."

"My Lord, regardless of whether I'm pretending or not, you really don't want to recognize me." Xu Hao tried again, "I'm a weak woman, my life and property are in your hands. I can't control the Marquis's mansion. I beg you, can you please let me go?"

Having said that, Xu Hao knelt down.

As long as she can walk, she will treat it as acting!

Xu Yan was stunned, then asked, "Are you leaving because of your identity?"

"No, I know I'm not worthy. I don't seek status. If I can leave, I swear," Xu Hao said resolutely, "If you dare to get involved in the Marquis' Mansion, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

Xu Yan was finally moved. Dayan attached great importance to oaths, and Xu Haoli made such a vicious oath.

Could it be that what Xu Hao said was true?

"I don't agree." He would not let Xu Hao go.

No matter what, Xu Hao is my biological child.

"Why?" Xu Hao knelt on the ground and said anxiously, "If you are not satisfied with this oath, you can ask me to say anything. I will really die here--"

"Xu Hao, shut up!" Xu Yan didn't mention Xu Hao's death, but simply said, "I don't agree."

He confirmed that this was indeed his daughter, and he had never seen such a stupid spy.

Xu Yan originally wanted to teach Xu Hao a lesson, but now he is not in the mood.

He even wondered if he was being too harsh on Xu Hao.

Apart from anything else, identity...

Forget it, he is my biological child after all. If my sworn enemies knew about this, I don’t know how they would frame the Marquis’ Mansion.

Xu Hao didn't say anything else. She knew Xu Yan well. Once he said he disagreed, he would not give in.

"I understand." Xu Hao stood up slowly. If no one agreed, why was she still kneeling?

Moreover, if Xu Hao leaves the Marquis' Mansion one day, she will wait for an opportunity to take revenge.

Yangling Marquis Mansion?

But it’s really not a good thing. Xu Hao knows the dirty things in the Marquis’ Mansion. Wait for her to get out!

Xu Yan felt that Xu Hao was different from before, but he couldn't tell what was different.

"That's good to know," Xu Yan said, "Don't make a fuss. I'll take care of the identity issue myself."

Xu Hao's words made Xu Yan realize that this was his biological child and this shouldn't happen.

Xu Hao's heart skipped a beat. She didn't say this for the sake of status.

In her previous life, the Xu family had never acknowledged her identity, so in this life, she didn’t care!

Was Xu Yan trying to appease her, or was he serious?

No, with an identity, it would be even harder for her to leave.

"Xu Hao, don't always think about going out. You know how dangerous it is out there. If a weak woman like you goes out, you'll lose your life within two days." Xu Yan comforted Xu Hao.

Xu Hao thought it was a vow, and if she didn't swear, Xu Yan would say she was pretending.

Seeing Xu Hao was silent, Xu Yan lost his patience: "I won't punish you today, be sensible and go down."

Shi En's tone made Xu Hao feel nauseous.

Xu Hao clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves as she comforted herself.

It’s okay, there is another way!

Xu Hao walked out without saying a word.

Xu Hao was too thin, and her clothes were indeed inappropriate. Xu Yan thought, "Wait a minute."

Xu Hao turned around and looked at Xu Yan.

Her gaze was too cold, which made Xu Yan feel a little uncomfortable.

"It's time to learn the rules."

Xu Yan originally wanted to say that he would tell Shen Xinzhu about Xu Hao's situation, but when the words came to his lips, he turned them into learning the rules.
