Seeing Fang Qingyou holding Ren's hand affectionately, the middle-aged man vaguely guessed her identity. Seeing her disrespectful attitude, he was so angry that his voice trembled: "You, you, I, I, I am..."

The middle-aged man talked for a long time, but couldn't come up with anything.

Upon seeing this, the servant beside him quickly interjected, "Our master is the Minister of Works."

The servant looked smug, but Fang Qingyou raised an eyebrow dismissively: "Minister of Works? I don't know him! If you've come to my house, then say so. If not, please leave now. I'm very busy, so I won't see you off!"

While speaking, Fang Qingyou impatiently made a gesture as if to see the guest out.

At this moment, Green Field walked over, staring fiercely at the middle-aged man and said, "No matter who you are, if you dare to cause trouble at Miss Fang's house, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The middle-aged man's face turned pale, and his brow twitched violently. He pointed at Fang Qingyou for a long time, wanting to say something but unable to. Finally, he turned to Madam Ren and started cursing: "Madam Ren, look at the good daughter you've raised! Tell her who I am!"

Fang Qingyou frowned. Why did she feel that this uncle was always so arrogant, shouting at Madam Ren like that? Just because he was the Minister of Works, did he think he was something special?

She turned to look at Madam Ren and found that Madam Ren's eyes were red and her gaze toward the middle-aged man was incredibly complex, filled with disappointment, shame, regret, and resentment. Hearing what he said, tears rolled down her face: "You'er, don't treat him like this. He, he is your father."

The word "father" was pronounced with particular stiffness by Mrs. Ren; she hadn't used that word on her children for over a decade.

Seeing Ren Shi in such a state, Fang Qingyou felt extremely distressed. However, upon hearing the word "father," she froze on the spot, feeling as if countless alpacas were galloping through her mind...

Dad? This arrogant and smug uncle is her dad? Are you sure you're not mistaken?

This uncle, from head to toe, inside and out, didn't resemble her "father" at all.

Not only Fang Qingyou, but also Yi Lingyun, Lüye and Aunt Luo were all shocked. They never expected that Fang Qingyou's father would be like this.

If these words hadn't come from Ren's mouth, they would never have believed that the middle-aged man was Fang Qingyou's father.

A father like that doesn't deserve a daughter like Fang Qingyou.

Fang Qingyou stared at Madam Ren in disbelief: "Mother, you're talking about him, he really is me..."

Fang Qingyou really couldn't bring herself to say the word "father".

Before Madam Ren could speak, the middle-aged man coldly lectured Fang Qingyou: "I am your father. You're from a respectable family, what kind of father are you? Also, remember, from now on, don't call Madam Ren 'Mother,' call her 'Auntie'!"

Fang Qingyou felt like she wanted to stuff something into the middle-aged man's mouth. Just looking at his face made her feel very uncomfortable, and hearing his voice made her feel even more disgusted.

"Minister of Works, aren't you meddling a bit too much?" Fang Qingyou was only saying this out of respect for Madam Ren; otherwise, she would have really wanted to give the original owner's scumbag father a good scolding.

Yes, judging from Ren's reaction, Fang Qingyou knew that this old scumbag was indeed the original owner's father.

No wonder when she asked Ren about "her father," Ren always dodged the question and changed the subject; it turned out that "her father" was such a scumbag.

Yes, this scumbag is none other than Fang Xing'an, the Minister of Works.

"How dare you speak to your father like that!" Fang Xing'an shouted angrily when he saw Fang Qingyou's disrespect towards him.

Ren looked at Fang Xing'an and Fang Qingyou, wanting to persuade them but not knowing how to start. Moreover, her heart was full of bitterness, and she felt as if her throat was blocked, making it impossible for her to say a word.

Regardless, she didn't want to see the two of them arguing like this.

Seeing how upset Ren was, Fang Qingyou felt sorry for her and suppressed her anger. She just pouted and didn't bother to argue with this old scumbag anymore.

Fang Xing'an thought that his fatherly authority had intimidated Fang Qingyou, so his expression softened slightly. Then, he turned to Madam Ren with a stern face and said, "Madam Ren, where is Run... our son? I've arrived, why doesn't he come to greet me?"

At this point, Fang Qingyou could no longer suppress her anger and immediately started cursing at Fang Xing'an: "Minister of Works, please don't boss me around in my house. Even high-ranking officials don't have the right to insult ordinary people! If you have something to say, speak properly. If you're going to curse, then leave immediately. You're not welcome in my house!"

Fang Qingyou was furious. What kind of father was this old scumbag? Judging from his appearance, he had clearly forgotten Fang Runting's name and hadn't visited him in years. How dare he call him his son?

This old scumbag is supposed to be the Minister of Works, so she doesn't know how much he's rich, but when Fang Runting broke his leg a while ago, he didn't even take out a single penny.

Otherwise, why would Madam Ren have sold all her belongings and even borrowed three taels of silver from Matchmaker Zhang when she was desperate?

Fang Qingyou didn't believe that Ren Shi hadn't gone to see that old scumbag. She knew that Ren Shi had run all over the surrounding villages to borrow money.

And now that old scumbag has arrived, without even asking about Fang Runting's injury, the first thing he asks is why Fang Runting didn't come to pay his respects to him.

Fang Qingyou was initially puzzled as to why this old scumbag had suddenly appeared today, since he hadn't contacted the Ren family for many years. It wasn't until she suddenly remembered the imperial edict that she understood.

That scumbag must have known that she received the imperial decree and thought they were valuable, which is why he rushed over to reunite with them.

They've already acknowledged each other, but they're acting like they're doing someone a favor. Do they think anyone would want a scumbag father who fell from the sky like this?

Fang Qingyou grew angrier the more she thought about it, and she really wished she could just kick this scumbag out.

That heartless, greedy old bastard who abandoned his wife!

Seeing Fang Qingyou talk back to him like that, Fang Xing'an trembled with rage: "You, you unfilial daughter! How could I have a daughter like you who doesn't understand respect! You, you, you..."

Fang Xing'an was still saying "you" when Fang Qingyou interrupted him coldly: "What do you mean 'you'? Do you think I care about you being the Minister of Works? It's fine if you don't acknowledge me, I don't want to acknowledge you either."

Upon hearing this, Fang Xing'an's forehead veins bulged, and he glared fiercely at Fang Qingyou, raising his hand to slap her. At this moment, Yi Lingyun suddenly stepped forward and used her sword sheath to block his arm as he was about to throw it down.

Green Field then drew his gleaming sword and brandished it in front of Fang Xing'an: "Minister of Works, shouldn't you think about the consequences before you act?"
