The cannon fodder heiress trembled with fear after being recognized as a member of her family.

Caught off guard, Lady Li was struck several times by Princess Changyun.

By the time she realized what was happening, the two were already exchanging blows.

"I never imagined that the rumors about the princess before she got married were true!"

Using the momentum, Lady Li jumped to avoid Princess Changyun's attack.

She deliberately glanced at Luo Yuan, "You're faking this marriage! If you hadn't interfered and married the Duke first, I wouldn't be in this situation."

As soon as she said this, not only was Princess Changyun stunned, but Luo Yuan was also stunned and at a loss for what to do.

"So it was you who caused this again! No wonder the second branch has been targeting us all these years. You're the one who's gotten yourself into these romantic entanglements. Go and deal with them." Princess Changyun sneered, hands on her hips. "You two sort this out first, and I'll settle accounts with you two later!"

After saying that, he stormed back to Yan Dali and said angrily, "Master Yan, keep an eye on them and don't let them come near me. I find it unlucky."

Upon hearing this, Yan Dali had no choice but to comply, sighing inwardly: the domestic affairs of the powerful and wealthy are even more lively than those of ordinary people.

Princess Changyun sat cross-legged with her back to them, her eyes closed.

It wasn't that she didn't want to deal with Little Li, but rather that she had been traveling for the past few days, and the seal on her body had just been broken, so she was somewhat unaccustomed to this powerful force.

Xiao Li had been plotting against Luo Yuan for a long time, but all these years their relationship had been fake, and Luo Yuan had never gotten close to her.

Even so, so what? Luo Yuan is possessed and has no control over his own body. Some things have already happened, and how can they be erased?

Luo Minghan is not Luo Yuan's child, and it is unknown whether he is Luo Chuan's child, but he does look somewhat similar to that Yin Xing.

After raising and educating the Luo family's children for so many years, I wonder if the old lady would regret it to death if she knew the truth.

Princess Changyun was still processing this information in her mind while adjusting her breathing, and she felt even more sorry for Luo Jingqian.

The second branch of the family used these methods to obtain the title of Duke of Dingguo.

They covet things that are clearly not theirs.

Luo Yuan looked coldly at the mother and son, "You know perfectly well what you've done all these years, so why are you always looking for trouble?"

Little Li was unwilling and said plaintively:

"Why? Why do you think I should? Because of you! I don't like Luo Chuan. If it weren't for you, why would I have gotten so close to him! Back then, we went to the Northwest specifically to find you!"

After hearing this, Luo Yuan stood there stunned. "Looking for me? Weren't you kidnapped?"

"Abducted? We're both skilled in martial arts, and we have plenty of guards around us. Who could possibly abduct us!" Little Li's eyes darted around before she sneered, "Who told me to have secretly liked you for so many years? I thought you didn't marry because you were waiting for me to grow up, but you ended up marrying her instead!"

Princess Changyun scoffed, "Are you sure you went to the Northwest back then solely for Luo Yuan? Do you really think no one knows what your Li family did?"

She had recovered somewhat, but upon hearing their conversation, she felt even more dissatisfied.

"What do you mean by that? I've long harbored feelings for Brother Yuan. What else would I be looking for if not him?" Little Li pretended to be calm and threw the question back at him.

"Your Li family has colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. You and Luo Chuan disappeared because you went to the Yun Kingdom. Your deeds have been exposed, and you begged Luo Chuan not to tell anyone. This is why the two of you had a falling out with Luo Yuan!"

"Luo Chuan has liked you for many years and finally compromised for you. But you were too cruel and actually had someone intercept and kill you on the way. He died to protect you! You didn't even dare to tell Old Madam Luo about this, only mentioning it to your mother."

"But after returning to the capital, you pretended to be injured while protecting him. After recuperating for over a month, your pregnancy was revealed. Luo Yuan was that stupid guy, falling right into your trap!"

Princess Changyun's voice grew louder and louder, while Xiao Li's expression gradually became panicked. Luo Yuan clenched his fists tighter and tighter as he listened, while Luo Minghan beside him looked completely bewildered.

"You still want to argue?" Princess Changyun interrupted Madam Li, not allowing her to speak. "Are you sure Luo Minghan is a member of the Luo family?"

Madam Li was completely panicked, and Luo Minghan was even more nervous. "You...you're talking nonsense! I am the eldest son of the second wife, and my father is Duke Dingguo, Luo Yuan!"

The fact that their identities were exposed was completely unexpected.

Seeing this, Luo Yuan understood everything. "You came from the capital this time voluntarily?"

Before they could answer, he drew his broadsword from its sheath. "My Luo family has been loyal to our country for generations, dying on the battlefield. We will not tolerate those who collude with the enemy and betray our country!"

"Father, please don't kill us!" Luo Minghan wailed, grabbing Luo Yuan's waist. "Father, we—"

A dagger was inserted into Luo Yuan's lower back, but there was not a trace of blood on the dagger.

Upon seeing this, Little Li cried out, "Run! He's wearing soft armor!"

She recognized this soft armor. Back then, Princess Changyun obtained the material and made two pieces in total. One was for that little brat Luo Jingqian, and the other was on Luo Yuan.

"Where do you think you're going!" Luo Yuan was even calmer than before, swinging his broadsword towards the Li family mother and son. "None of you, and not a single one of the Li family, will escape!"

The blade reached behind the two men and could not advance any further.

Luo Yuan's right wrist was almost deformed, and the blade was bent, but the two of them were still unharmed.

"Let me see what life-saving tricks that silver wolf gave you!" Princess Changyun threw out the offensive jade bead given to her by Han Cuiyin. It made a crackling sound and white mist rose up. The mother and child disappeared without a trace.

Luo Yuan drew his sword to give chase, but Princess Changyun stopped him, "Don't chase them, we don't know where they've run off to! By the time we get back to the capital, the Li family will probably have been dealt with, and the two of them won't be able to return to the capital."

"Sirou, is what you said true? Minghan isn't my second brother's child?" Princess Changyun didn't feel pleased with Luo Yuan's tense yet expectant eyes.

“He is the son of Silver Wolf, a half-demon! The matter concerning the Li family was told to me by my mother when she confronted the Li family. It must be true. My mother would not wrong anyone, and this matter will be resolved.”

Princess Changyun remained indifferent; she felt no pleasure in revealing these things.

The suffering they and their children have endured over the years is all because of the second wife. Even without Xiao Li and her children, the loss of these years can never be made up for.

Yan Dali listened from the side and figured out what was going on.

It's unbelievable that such a powerful family would have such a thing. In the end, the Duke of Dingguo was neither raising a son for himself nor for his brother, but for that wolf.

Is the creature born from this monster human or a monster?

"This mother and son have life-saving abilities given to them by Silver Wolf, but I don't know where they went. The grudge has been brewing for a long time, and now that she has a powerful backer, she probably won't stay quiet in the future." Princess Changyun worried that this Little Li was adept at using tricks, and that she should be more vigilant after returning to the capital.

As for the mother and son, Silver Wolf's life-saving technique teleported them to Silver Wolf's side.

"What trouble have you two gotten into this mess?" As soon as they appeared, Yunxiu's previously cheerful face instantly darkened. "Demon King, they're just a burden. If you want the Divine Wood, you'll be dragged down by them sooner or later."
