"You..." Zhu Heng's hands were shaking and his face was full of anger.

Zhu Qing'an hurriedly stood beside his father, reached out and gently held his father's arm to prevent his father from getting angry and getting hurt.

As a child, she shouldn't have interfered with her parents' entanglement, but her mother's behavior was too much, and her mother's behavior in her previous life also broke Zhu Qing'an's heart.

"Mother, what you said is really ridiculous. What does father owe you? When father proposed to you, he didn't know that you had someone in your heart. You didn't refuse, did you? Father didn't force you. Now you act like a victim. Who are you showing off to?" Zhu Qing'an had a smile on his face, and his tone was gentle but weighed a lot.

These words made Shui Shiyu blush.

"If my parents hadn't forced me, why would I marry him!" Shui Shiyu retorted.

Zhu Heng felt bitter as he looked at his daughter who was speaking for him. It was because of his incompetence as a father that his daughter had to get involved in these terrible things.

"Oh! Force? If mother really loved the guy from the Yang family that much, upon learning of his death, mother would not have wanted to marry father and would have simply hanged herself with a white silk scarf to show her love for him. If you really did that, your daughter would still be angry with you. But you occupy the position of marquis's wife, with a horde of servants around you all day long, wearing gold and silver jewelry, yet you keep yelling about young men all day long. It's really shameful!" Zhu Qing'an's every word was precious.

"You bastard!" Shui Shiyu blushed at his daughter's words, especially since his daughter's words tore off the veil.

Mizu Shiyu raised his hand and slapped his daughter on the cheek.

However, this time the slap did not land on Zhu Qingan's cheek.

A big hand firmly grasped Shui Shiyu's wrist, making Shui Shiyu unable to move.

Zhu Heng watched his wife's face become distorted, watched his wife want to hit his daughter in a rage, and all the things he once felt guilty about were suddenly relieved by hearing his daughter's words.

Yes, he had done something wrong to Shui Shiyu.

It was true that he fell in love with Shui Shiyu at first sight and came to propose to her, but Shui Shiyu did not resist from beginning to end, and the Shui family did not refuse. In the final analysis, he was the victim and was deceived.

"Enough!" Zhu Heng held Shui Shiyu's wrist, his eyes full of fatigue.

"Are you mean to me?" Shui Shiyu looked at Zhu Heng, her bright eyes filled with tears.

In the past, if Zhu Heng had seen Shui Shiyu crying, he would have panicked and given in. But today, Zhu Heng's eyes didn't falter at all.

"Mother, are you really innocent with that guy? Do you dare to swear to heaven?" Zhu Qing'an added fuel to the fire.

She could see her father's disappointment in her mother, so she naturally didn't want to give up such an opportunity.

"You unfilial son! Brother Yu and I are innocent, there is no need to swear!" Shui Shiyu said stubbornly.

"Heh!" Zhu Qing'an smiled with a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth, and gently shook the stack of letters that Fu Guang handed to him.

When Shui Shiyu saw the letter in his daughter's hand, his face turned pale and he could no longer maintain that noble look. His heart seemed to be about to jump out.

Zhu Qing'an first casually opened a letter and read softly, "Sister Yu'er, it feels like a long time since I last saw you. When I think of you living in such dire straits, I can't sleep at night and can't eat or sleep peacefully!"

"Enough!" Shui Shiyu shouted loudly. She didn't expect that the correspondence between her and Yang Yu would be found by her daughter, even though she had kept it very secret.

Zhu Heng pursed his lips tightly, listening to another man writing such reckless words to his wife. More importantly, his wife actually hid these letters carefully. He felt like he was wearing a big green hat on his head.

"That's enough. I still have some letters that I found in Yang's house!" Zhu Qing'an said as Fu Guang handed over another stack of letters.

Shui Shiyu seemed to have lost all his strength and was even unable to stand steadily.

Zhu Qing'an did not open the letters. She could read the letters Yang Yu wrote to his mother, but she could not disregard her father's face. After all, her mother was the marquis' wife married by her father in a sedan chair.

Zhu Heng released Shui Shiyu and took the letter from his daughter's hand.

"Don't look!" Shui Shiyu wanted to stop him, but this time Zhu Heng didn't listen to her and waved Shui Shiyu away.

When Zhu Heng saw the contents of the letter, the faint hope in his heart disappeared, and the naked truth was laid out before him.

He thought that even though Shui Shiyu was not happy with him all day long, they had been married for many years and had a daughter, so they still had some feelings for each other.

As for the fact that Shui Shiyu still has the shadow of Yang Yu in her heart, he can also deceive himself and say that he doesn't care. After all, he has married her and he will be the one to spend his life with her.

But those letters shattered Zhu Heng's fantasy. It turned out that his wife had never stopped exchanging letters with Yang Yu over the years.

In the letters, he kept telling his wife about his infatuation with another man, and his hatred for himself and his daughter.

"Zhu Heng!" Shui Shiyu looked at Zhu Heng holding the letter, closing his eyes and remaining silent. Suddenly, he felt a little courage and felt that Zhu Heng would not dare to do anything to him.

"You should know that Brother Yu and I are just a matter of fate. We only communicate through letters..."

Shui Shiyu hadn't finished speaking yet, but couldn't say anything because Zhu Heng suddenly grabbed Shui Shiyu's neck.

Zhu Heng's chest heaved violently, his breathing became heavier, and his anger seemed to devour his sanity.

"Shui Shiyu, ask yourself, over the years, I have respected you and been humble to you, but you should never humiliate me like this!" Zhu Heng roared.

Shui Shiyu's face turned from red to blue due to being pinched. She kept slapping Zhu Heng's arm, but it was no use.

Zhu Qing'an watched coldly, and in a trance she seemed to see the fall of the Hou family in her previous life, and her mother left without looking back, even taking away all the silver, money and jewelry she could take away. She knelt outside her mother's carriage at that time, begging her mother to go see her father for the last time, but her mother just let the coachman whip her at her without even showing her face.

"Father..."

The memories came to an abrupt end, and Zhu Qing'an came to his father and held his father's wrist.

Zhu Heng suddenly woke up and quickly let go of Shui Shiyu. Shui Shiyu fell to the ground, covering her neck and coughing. Her eyes looking at Zhu Heng changed from disdain to fear.

Zhu Qing'an stood beside his father, watching him calm down.

"Qing'an, your father was confused!" Zhu Heng looked at his daughter, tears seemed to flash in his eyes, but disappeared in an instant.

Zhu Qing'an looked at the clarity in his father's eyes and knew that his father had figured it out and seen through everything.

So, for the best.

"Zhu Heng, how dare you attack me!" Shui Shiyu fell to the ground, fear still lingering in her heart, especially when she saw the coldness in the eyes of the father and daughter, she broke down emotionally.
