Bring a scumbag girl to bully me, and you are afraid of using modern weapons.

"Sister, I was wrong..." Zong Zhengyi felt very guilty.

If he hadn't left back then, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.

If he knew that Xie Wanying was pregnant with his child, he would not let that bastard marry into the Duke of Li's mansion even if he had to kill Lin Yuansheng.

"You!" The Queen Mother raised her hand, wanting to slap him hard. "You're just a coward. You've committed a sin, and yet you let Xie Wanying bear it all by herself."

"Sister, it's all my fault, hit me!" Zong Zhengyi put the empress dowager's hand on his face.

Letting her beat me up would make me feel better.

"Hmph! A selfish person like you, it turns out you also know you're wrong?" The Queen Mother thought that he had been gone for decades, and not only did the family abandon him, but he didn't even come back to die. This shows how hard-hearted and ruthless he was!

"What are you doing back now?"

"Grandmother, please don't get yourself sick from anger!" Beitang Yuan comforted the Queen Mother and helped her sit down. "The Second Elder has returned to see you. Please don't let him get angry and leave again! Then Lan'er will be without a grandfather again!"

"Hmph! Those are his own children and grandchildren. If he doesn't want them, what can anyone do? He just doesn't have that blessing." The Queen Mother said angrily.

Zong Zhengyi stood there, pursed his lips and said nothing, like a child who had done something wrong and was being scolded by an adult.

Beitang Yuan looked at the brother and sister and had to change the subject, "Grandmother, I have good news for you. Lin Yuansheng and Lin Ruyan have been killed by us in Luofeng Kingdom, and Prince Xie has been rescued by us."

"Really! Xie Feng has been rescued? Yuan'er, is this true?" The Queen Mother was surprised and happy to hear this.

"It's the real Imperial Grandmother." Beitang Yuan nodded to her. "Since Prince Xie is a descendant of the Zongzheng family, he should be recognized as a descendant, right?"

The Queen Mother looked at her brother standing there like a pole, and she was furious. "That's his son, he doesn't want him anymore, what can I do? Look at him, he's a decent boy, but he doesn't do anything."

"Sister, I didn't know this before, otherwise..." Before Zong Zhengyi finished speaking, the Queen Mother's anger rose again, and she said with a look of disapproval:

"You can get away with everything by saying 'I don't know'? Xie Wanying is pregnant with your child, and you don't even take responsibility. You're not a man at all!"

After being scolded by the Empress Dowager, Zong Zhengyi fell silent again, feeling even more uncomfortable.

"Grandmother, things have already happened. There is no point in saying these angry words now. Fortunately, things can still be salvaged." Beitang Yuan had no choice but to persuade her again.

"Even if he regrets it now, Xie Wanying may not forgive him!" said the Queen Mother.

Actually, it was their Zong Zheng family who was at fault first, causing their bloodline to be lost outside.

At that time, Xie Wanying's father had agreed to let his daughter marry into the Zong Zheng family, but the first son they gave birth to must have the surname Xie, and then be adopted into the Xie family to be raised and inherit everything in the Duke of Li's Mansion.

But in the end...

But in the end, it's fate!

"Sister, I've already admitted my mistake to Xie Wanying. She will forgive me." Zong Zhengyi said, "Feng'er... must have a father."

"Xie Feng may not need it. He has lived for more than 30 years without you." The Queen Mother rolled her eyes at him.

"I will compensate them." Zong Zhengyi looked up at her, "I want to marry Xie Wanying, please help me."

"You want to marry Xie Wanying? Then go find her! What's the point of looking for me? Do you want me to use the imperial power to force her to marry you?" said the Queen Mother.

"Sister, that's not what I meant!" Zong Zhengyi quickly shook his head. "I will let her marry me, and then ask the Queen Mother to grant us a marriage."

"You..." After all, he was her own brother, and the Queen Mother couldn't bear to say anything too harsh.

Seeing that her anger seemed to have subsided, Beitang Yuan stood up and said, "Grandmother, I will go to take care of government affairs first. You can have a good chat with the Second Elder. I will come over to have dinner with you in the evening."

"Go!" The Queen Mother waved her hand. "If you're busy, you don't have to come."

"Grandson, take your leave!" Beitang Yuan bowed, glanced at Zong Zhengyi again, and then left.

*********

Duke Li's Mansion.

For three consecutive days, Xie Jinglan treated her father's injuries in the space.

Every day he was allowed to soak in spiritual spring water for two hours to cleanse his meridians, and then he was given elixirs to repair the damage in his body.

"Lan'er, the spring water in your space is really effective. My father's health is much better." Xie Feng felt that his mind was no longer confused, the dull pain in his body disappeared, and the spiritual power in his dantian was restored.

He thought that even if he could survive by chance, his life would be ruined!

"Father, I will cure your illness. The Duke of Li's Mansion still needs you to support it." Xie Jinglan smiled at him.

"Lan'er, how do you know that your blood can cure diseases?" Xie Feng knew that something must have happened to his daughter in the nearly three years since she was captured.

"Father, by chance, I discovered Lin Ruyan's secret. She was reborn and knew that my blood could cure diseases. Then, she took advantage of my feelings for Beitang Hong and used my blood to refine the Soul-Restoring Pill. However, by accident, it allowed me to awaken my spiritual veins. Since then, I have been able to practice cultivation!"

Xie Jinglan made up an excuse and told him about her sudden change.

As for Lin Ruyan's rebirth, it's okay to tell him.

"Lin Ruyan is actually a reborn person? And she even cut your blood to refine the Soul-Restoring Pill?" Xie Feng looked at his daughter with heartache, "Lan'er! It's all because of my blindness that I didn't see the ambitions of that family. I made you and your grandmother suffer."

He poisoned his mother and drew his daughter's blood to make medicine!

Xie Feng was filled with hatred, blaming himself for not seeing the evil ambitions of that family earlier.

"Father, those things are in the past. I have already killed that Lin guy." Xie Jinglan was afraid that he would be angry so she stopped talking about the past.

"Your body has begun to recover. How about you practice for a while?"

"Okay, I'll try it." Xie Feng felt the abundant spiritual energy in his dantian and wanted to try it too.

"Well, then I'll go see my grandmother first." Seeing that he had already sat down cross-legged, Xie Jinglan left the space and went to see her grandmother.

My father's physical condition has stabilized, and it's time for them to settle the score with those people.

She wanted to first blow up the Tianlong Sect and Fengluo Sect and make them disappear from the Guangyuan Continent.

As soon as I entered Ximei Garden, I could faintly hear Zong Zhengyi's voice.

Looking at her grandmother's room, since her grandfather had come, she should not go in and disturb them!

At this moment, Nanny Feng came out from the east wing and said when she saw her, "Miss, you're here!"

Xie Jinglan had no choice but to turn around and said to her with a smile: "Madam Feng, I came to see grandma."

"Lan'er, come in." Xie Wanying's voice came from the main room.
