Feng Ziyu closed his eyes tightly; he had taken his sister's words to heart.

That means sacrificing him to save her!

He asked in a trembling voice, "Yingying, will you really do everything you can to rescue my brother? I've made a terrible mistake this time, and I'm afraid I'll be sentenced to exile. I simply can't bear that kind of suffering!"

Feng Yingying replied firmly, "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely save you. If you are taken away today, I will go to the palace to beg the Emperor!"

Feng Ziyu's expression softened considerably; he was no longer so afraid.

After the brother and sister reached an agreement, they headed towards the front yard.

Madam Feng was arguing with Lin Yiwan. Her face was ashen as she said, "Madam Hou, how can you falsely accuse our Feng family? Our Feng family is a noble and respectable family. We would never do such a vicious thing. This little thief must be framing us!"

Lin Yiwan calmly said, "Madam Feng, whether it was your grandson who did it or not, why don't you call him out and ask him? Then the truth will come out."

Just as Madam Feng was about to retort, she saw Feng Ziyu and his sister walking quickly towards her.

She quickly said, "Ziyu, you've come at the right time. The man that Lady Hou brought here claims that you ordered him to murder Miss Zhan. Is he slandering you?"

A fierce struggle flashed in Feng Ziyu's eyes, and the fist hanging at his waist suddenly clenched tightly.

Lin Yiwan spoke coldly: "Young Master Feng, you must tell the truth. You should know very well that all lies will be exposed!"

Feng Ziyu sneered, "You don't need to threaten me with sarcastic remarks. One person does one thing and one takes responsibility. It's true that I ordered him to do it. I just don't like Zhan Miao. She's too arrogant. We have to teach her a lesson!"

"Bang!" Lin Yiwan kicked him to the ground.

Old Madam Feng was taken aback by her sudden attack. She angrily rebuked, "Lin Yiwan, what are you doing? How can you let me beat my grandson without my consent?"

Lin Yiwan finds this old lady disgusting. She knows her grandson did something wrong, yet she still tries to protect him.

She also has to pay the price!

She rebuked in a stern voice: "Madam Feng, if a son is not taught properly, a father cannot be blamed. Since your Feng family has no father, then let you, as his grandmother, suffer the punishment in his place. You and your granddaughter can go to jail together!"

Feng Ziyu immediately said, "This matter has nothing to do with my grandmother. I am seeking revenge against Zhan Miao. Why are you arresting my grandmother?"

Lin Yiwan ignored her and ordered her men to drag the grandmother and grandson away immediately.

Feng Yingying pleaded anxiously, "Madam Hou, my grandmother is old. Please spare her this time. If you take her away, I won't be able to explain it to my grandfather when he returns!"

Lin Yiwan narrowed her eyes: "Miss Feng, are you trying to intimidate me by bringing up your grandfather? Even if he comes back now, I will still take them both away. Don't waste any more words!"

Madam Feng's mouth was gagged, and she was stuffed into the same carriage as Feng Ziyu.

Looking at the empty mansion, Feng Yingying didn't even have time to cry and immediately rushed to Maple Leaf Academy.

After Prince Rong retired, Grand Tutor Feng became a teacher at Maple Leaf Academy.

Hearing Feng Yingying's tearful account, he was immediately enraged.

Feng Ziyu was his only grandson, and he absolutely could not stand by and watch him die.

He hurriedly took Feng Ziyu to the palace to request an audience with Emperor Xiao Li.

Xiao Li invited him into the imperial study, whereupon he knelt on the ground and wept, pleading, "Your Majesty, this old minister is innocent! Please save my wife and my only grandson!"

Xiao Li immediately frowned. He knew that Grand Tutor Feng was Xiao Ling's teacher and had some respect for him.

He spoke quickly: "Get up and answer me first. What kind of behavior is it to kneel on the ground and cry?"

Grand Tutor Feng rose, wiping away his tears. He said sadly, "I don't know how my wife and grandson angered Lady Lin Yiwan, the Marquis. She actually led a group of people to our door and sent both of them to the authorities. I beg you to do justice for this old minister!"

Xiao Li stared in surprise. He knew his daughter well and knew she would never harm innocent people.

Unless, the grandfather and grandson of the Feng family did something extremely outrageous.

He looked at Feng Yingying, who was kneeling behind Grand Tutor Feng: "You tell me, what exactly happened?"

Feng Yingying swallowed hard. She never expected the emperor's oppressive aura to be so strong, making her feel suffocated.

She pinched her palms hard to force herself to calm down.

She said in a hoarse voice, "My elder brother had an old grudge against Miss Zhan, so he tried to take revenge on her with some underhanded means, but his methods failed and Miss Zhan was unharmed. However, Madam Hou was furious. She led her men into the Feng residence and arrested my elder brother and my grandmother!"

Grand Tutor Feng spoke anxiously: "Your Majesty, Ziyu is the only son of the Feng family. His parents died early, and he is destined to inherit the family's legacy. Although he is a bit willful, a small punishment is enough. There is no need to send him to the government office!"

Xiao Li said calmly, "I understand what you mean. I will summon Lin Yiwan and the others to the palace to decide whether your wife and grandson should be sent to the authorities!"

Before long, everyone had arrived.

Because there were quite a few people, the Imperial Study became somewhat crowded for a while.

Zhan Miao's eyes immediately reddened when she saw Xiao Li.

She stepped forward with a soft, aggrieved expression and bowed obediently: "Meow greets Grandfather!"

Xiao Li immediately waved to her as if no one else was around: "Meow, come here to your grandfather. Tell him yourself what happened."

Seeing his gentle and loving appearance, Feng Yingying couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in her heart.

She had never received such pampering since she was a child.

Why is Zhan Miao, who is ignorant and incompetent, valued and protected by everyone?

I'm so jealous!

She bit her lip hard and secretly vowed that once she entered the harem, she would make Zhan Miao die in the ugliest form.

She didn't mind that Xiao Li was old; she just wanted to be someone superior to others.

By this time, Xiao Li had finished listening to Zhan Miao's accusations. He looked at Grand Tutor Feng with displeasure: "You still say that your grandson used petty tricks? Do you know that if those monkeys had really hurt Miao'er, the lives of your entire Feng family wouldn't be enough to compensate for it!"

Grand Tutor Feng was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a thud and begged, "Your Majesty, it is all my fault for neglecting to discipline Ziyu because I was busy teaching Prince Rong back then. I am already very remorseful. Please give me a chance and forgive him. I will never let him make the same mistake again!"

Xiao Li said with a grim expression, "Grand Tutor Feng, as his teacher, you should know very well that he will never repent if he is not taught a lesson. So all your teachings are just empty words. He needs to receive some substantial punishment. Either give him fifty lashes or exile him to a cold and desolate place. You choose!"

Grand Tutor Feng's face showed struggle, and he stammered, "This old minister does not want to choose either one!"
