The legitimate daughter returns, and everyone in the Marquis's mansion regrets and begs for for

His voice was as cold as ice, "Since you dared to hurt her, you must pay the price!"

Bei Mingfeng wasn't a fool. Although he was unwilling to admit it, Su Muwei's behavior was enough to prove that he had fallen in love with her! Otherwise, why would he disregard his elder brother's warning and risk being scolded by his father to take Su Muwei away for her sake? Even when she was injured, he still carried her back to his room, settled her down, and treated her.

Su Muwei's wrist was broken by Bei Mingfeng, and she lay on the bed unable to move.

She looked up, her eyes wide, a burning rage raging in her chest. "She's your sister! How could you treat her like this? You..." Before she could finish her impassioned words, she heard Bei Mingfeng's cold voice beside her.

She is dead.

Su Muwei was shocked and stared at him in disbelief. She never expected him to be so cruel as to kill her for someone he had no connection with.

Her face turned deathly pale, a chill running down her spine. "How...how could you be so cold-blooded and heartless? Don't you know your sister was bullied? You should help her get revenge, not just stand by and do nothing!"

Bei Mingfeng's voice was deep and cold, his brows furrowed, and a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes, "I have no younger sister!"

Su Muwei was shocked. No wonder he treated Bei Mingxue so well, yet he refused to acknowledge her. It turned out she wasn't Bei Mingfeng's biological sister! Then why did he marry Bei Mingxue and bestow a title upon her? She understood the man before her less and less!

He gave her a cold glance. "No matter who you are, you are not allowed to hurt her!"

Su Muwei glared at him through gritted teeth. What right did he have to say such baseless things? She refused to accept it!

"She's not worthy!" Bei Mingfeng coldly shouted, grabbing her collar and glaring at her fiercely. "You dare harm my sister? You must bear the consequences!"

He pulled her so hard she could hardly breathe, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes bloodshot. "I didn't..."

"Enough! If you dare to lie to me, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will still take your dog's life!" His cold and fierce voice was as terrifying as a demon from purgatory.

He released her, and she collapsed limply to the ground.

Su Muwei looked at her in horror, unable to imagine what would happen next.

On the other side, Su Muya was walking down the street.

Inside the carriage, she lifted the curtain and listened to the noise coming from outside.

Su Muya lifted the curtain and saw an incredibly luxurious carriage speeding towards her courtyard.

At that moment, a sudden exclamation rang out from the street.

"Ah—" Su Muya was startled and quickly lowered the curtain, then peered out through the thin gauze.

A tall, slender man rode past on a fine horse. His handsome face was like that of a celestial being from a painting, captivating all who looked at him.

Su Muya's heart suddenly raced, thump thump thump...

She pressed her lips together tightly, her heart pounding wildly, and her ears ringing.

Did he see that just now?

She must have seen him, because she saw his profile, which was even more handsome and charming than the man in the painting, and he also had a noble and elegant demeanor.

Moreover, he was surrounded by guards.

This man must be a very powerful official!

Su Muya couldn't help but swallow, secretly wondering how lucky she was to have met such a high-ranking official. Although he looked rather ordinary, he was a first-rank official with a noble status, and he had fallen in love with her at first sight.

She couldn't help but feel flattered.

Su Muya took a deep breath, trying to suppress her excitement, then wiped away the tears on her face and revealed a faint smile.

This was the first time she had met a high-ranking official. He might not remember her, but she would remember him forever.

After the carriage came to a stop at the Liu residence, Su Muya got off the carriage with the help of her maid.

As soon as she stepped into the Liu residence, she felt a sense of oppression wash over her.

Su Muya lowered her eyebrows and followed the maid into the hall, then stood respectfully to the side.

She had just looked up when she saw Old Master Liu sitting in the head seat, and next to him was a middle-aged woman in blue.

This middle-aged woman was strikingly beautiful, dressed alluringly, and possessed an elegant demeanor. She was none other than the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family, the second wife of the Liu family, Madam Li.

Madam Li glanced at Su Muya, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes, then said to Old Master Liu, "Sir, look at this child, so timid, like a little bride. How can our daughter be so cowardly?"

Grandpa Liu glanced at Su Muya beside him and nodded. "She is indeed a bit timid. Our young lady is gentle and obedient, quite different from this girl."

Madam Li pursed her lips and said, "Since you're so satisfied, then keep this girl."

Old Master Liu nodded, then asked, "But what do you need this maid for?"

Li's eyes darted around, and she said with a smile, "I want to find Xiaoya a good husband. She's so beautiful, she won't have trouble finding a husband. Besides, it's time for our Xiaoya to get married."

As she spoke, Li glanced at Su Muya with an arrogant air.

She would never admit that she was jealous of Su Muya! Why should Su Muya be the one to marry her precious son? That wretched girl Su Muya is not good enough for her son at all.

Upon hearing this, Su Muya's expression changed immediately. This Old Master Liu was her father's father-in-law, and this Li was her aunt. How could she dare to disobey her elders!

Just as Su Muya was pondering how to refuse, Old Master Liu spoke up, "Since you're so willing, I'll agree. First, arrange for someone to replace Muya's birth certificate with someone else's."

"Huh?" Li was dumbfounded. How dare this old man disobey her?

Su Muya breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was still hope for Old Master Liu, and he didn't force her to remarry!

“This…Grandpa…this betrothal certificate cannot be changed casually. Unless you have a way to get Muya to voluntarily change her surname to Liu, I cannot sell her to someone else!” Madam Li said through gritted teeth.

Old Master Liu frowned and glared at Madam Li, saying, "What do you know! If our Liu family can get on the good side of the Prince of Zhenbei, what does it matter if we sacrifice Muya?"

Madam Li was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and said, "I understand, Master! You mean you want Mu Ya to seduce the Prince of Zhenbei. Once the Prince of Zhenbei takes a liking to her, he will take her as a concubine, and that way the Liu family can be saved!"

Su Muya's heart skipped a beat, and her face turned deathly pale.

As expected of this old shrewd businessman, Mr. Liu pushed her into a fire pit with just one sentence.

Li Shi became more and more excited as she spoke. She clapped her hands and said, "Excellent! I'll go talk to Mu Ya now and tell her to pack her valuables as soon as possible and get them ready by tomorrow so she can serve the Prince of Zhenbei well tonight."
