After being sentenced to death, she came to her senses.

Faced with Fang Zhengyong's anger, Fang Xiaoran simply raised her eyes and said with a puzzled look, "Father, what are you saying? I was just telling you the truth about Fifth Sister's illness. How did it become so twisted in your mouth? Do you think I am such a vicious person?"

Fang Zhengyong sneered: "You pushed your fifth sister into the lake and almost drowned her. Isn't that vicious? Besides, the fire in Beiju is still unresolved. I know your Aunt Wang better than anyone. She would never do something so harmful."

"So you think this is your daughter's fault?"

“Back then, it was your mother who was at fault. I did not divorce her or drive her away from the Fang family. It was she who took you away when you were still young. All the suffering you have endured over the years is caused by her. It has nothing to do with your Aunt Wang. If you had any conscience at all, you shouldn’t have targeted your Aunt Wang, nor should you have been thinking about standing up for yourself and pushing the Fang family into the eye of the storm all day long!”

Fang Xiaoran laughed after hearing these words. She was too lazy to even refute them. If her mother hadn't taken her away back then, she would have been a corpse long ago. Madam Wang wished she could kill the mother and daughter, so why would she spare her life?

From the very beginning, Fang Zhengyong's heart was biased, so he never considered things from Fang Xiaoran's perspective. If he had given her even a little more favor, if he hadn't allowed the concubine to bully the wife, she wouldn't have ended up in such a turbulent situation.

Fang Xiaoran looked calmly at her father, whose face was haggard and exhausted. She felt a deep sense of desolation. After a long while, she slowly spoke, "Father, have you ever thought about why Mother insisted on taking me away? She was worried about me."

"What is she worried about? Would anyone in such a large mansion like the Fang family harm a child like you? She always makes malicious assumptions about others, so she has no close friends. It's all her own fault, and she has no one else to blame!"

For some reason, Fang Zhengyong suddenly flew into a rage, his face turning extremely ferocious, like a savage beast venting its fury on Fang Xiaoran.

Fang Xiaoran gave a self-deprecating smile and said, "Of course no one would want to harm me. After all, the evidence is right in front of us. Even my father believes that I orchestrated it all. No wonder my mother is heartbroken."

However, Fang Zhengyong coldly replied, "Would she feel heartbroken? No, she has no heart at all!"

The man before her had a cold and aggressive look in his eyes, and Fang Xiaoran felt a sharp pain in her heart. She never imagined that this was her father.

She couldn't understand what kind of hatred existed between him and his mother that would make him say such a thing, so much so that she wanted to refute it, but had no way to refute it.

Just then, the maidservant who was serving the old lady rushed over, looking anxious, and said to Fang Zhengyong, "Master, the old lady's condition is not good..."

The maid didn't even perform basic etiquette, which showed how urgent the situation was. Fang Zhengyong's expression changed drastically. He didn't even bother to visit Fang Xiaoqi and hurriedly went to the old lady's residence.

As soon as she entered, Madam Liu rushed over, her voice trembling, and said, "Master, the old lady... the doctor said that if we don't get the Mind-Boosting Pill soon, the old lady might..."

"Yi Shen Dan! Yi Shen Dan! Is there really no other way?" Fang Zhengyong was furious and desperate. First Fang Xiaoqi, then the old lady, he felt that someone was pushing this matter. But the doctor did not say that it was caused by poisoning. Could it really just be a strange disease?

This made Fang Zhengyong suspect Fang Xiaoran, because the Fang family hadn't had a single day of peace since she returned!

But right now, the most important thing is to find a way to save the old lady; everything else has to wait.

Seeing that Fang Zhengyong was emotional, Madam Liu quickly comforted him, "Master, the old lady is just getting old. Although she has been in good health all these years, she did damage her foundation back then. How can a damaged foundation fully recover? Don't be too sad. Perhaps this is fate!"

As she spoke, she gently patted Fang Zhengyong's back, seemingly trying to calm his anger, but in reality, she was taking the opportunity to bring up the old matter again, making Fang Zhengyong resent Fang Xiaoran and her son even more.

“That poisoning incident really damaged my mother’s health.” Fang Zhengyong clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with pain and anger.

Suddenly, Fang Xiaoran's voice came from outside the door, "What kind of poison?"

Unexpectedly, Fang Xiaoran came over at this critical moment, and Liu immediately felt guilty, even subconsciously withdrawing the hand that was patting Fang Zhengyong's back.

Upon seeing Fang Xiaoran appear, Fang Zhengyong immediately pointed at her angrily, "How dare you come here!"

Fang Xiaoran pretended to be puzzled and looked at her father in surprise, "When did I anger you, Father? Why are you so angry as soon as we meet? You always say that I am not filial to my grandmother, and that I don't even come to visit her when she is sick. But now that I have come, you are dissatisfied. What do you want me to do?"

These words left Fang Zhengyong speechless. He stared at Fang Xiaoran, his anger rising. Realizing the situation was getting out of control, Liu quickly spoke up, "Sixth Miss is just concerned about the old lady. Please don't take it to heart. The most important thing now is the old lady's illness."

Madam Liu gave them both a way out. Even if Fang Zhengyong was still dissatisfied, he couldn't ignore the old lady, so he casually said, "Then there's nothing for you to do here. Why don't you leave?"

He clearly didn't want to see Fang Xiaoran, and even at this moment he didn't forget to scold her.

There was nothing wrong with visiting her, but Liu reminded him of the old lady's poisoning, which naturally made him hostile towards Fang Xiaoran.

Fang Xiaoran disagreed with this, and bowed slightly, saying, "I was originally thinking of bringing the Mind-Boosting Pill to treat my grandmother's illness, but it seems that my father does not need it, so I will take my leave."

After saying that, she turned to leave, but upon hearing this, Fang Zhengyong immediately called out to her, "Wait a minute, you said you have a Divine Elixir?"

Fang Xiaoran paused, not turning her head, and simply said, "I was fortunate enough to receive one."

"Then why don't you hurry up and take it out? Can't you see how sick your grandmother is?"

This matter-of-fact question ignited Fang Xiaoran's anger. She turned around and chuckled, "You can have the Spirit-Boosting Pill, but I have a condition."

"That's your grandmother! Is this how you show filial piety? You used life-saving medicine as a bargaining chip. Your mother really didn't teach you properly all these years!" Fang Zhengyong was furious. Liu Shi, who was standing to the side, quickly tried to smooth things over, "Sixth Miss, this is not right of you. No matter what, save the old lady first. We can talk about it later."

Fang Xiaoran coldly replied, "Will anyone listen to me if I say this in the future?"

Liu was speechless and silently looked at Fang Zhengyong. At this moment, Fang Zhengyong clenched his fists and shouted angrily: "Using your grandmother's life to threaten your father, huh? Well, you really are my good daughter."

Unexpectedly, Fang Xiaoran smiled and said, "Father is a very filial son. He naturally doesn't care about this threat in order to save his grandmother."
