He was hacked to death! Reborn and married to the Grand Secretary, his family wept with regret.

An Wuyang immediately called the shopkeeper over to inquire, and heard a familiar voice coming from inside.

"Aunt Qingfan, isn't the peach blossom hairpin that En'er picked out for you the prettiest one?"

As soon as Li En finished speaking, Luo Qingfan walked out of the inner room with a cheerful smile. Her beautiful face was full of joy, and her smile was much lighter.

"Shopkeeper, quickly bring me a mirror so I can see myself."

A white jade hairpin adorned Luo Qingfan's head, its translucent appearance under the sunlight resembling solidified cream.

"It's beautiful! Auntie is the most beautiful, and this hairpin looks even more elegant on her!"

"When En'er returns to the capital, I will buy her hairpins, the best hairpins in the whole world!"

Li En followed behind Luo Qingfan, looking up at her with eyes full of affection.

"En'er is the best girl. Whoever marries our En'er will be very lucky!"

Luo Qingfan looked in the mirror, tilting her head from side to side. Once she was satisfied, she bent down and pinched Li En's nose.

Li En pretended to lean against Luo Qingfan's chest.

"En'er will never get married. En'er wants to stay by Auntie's side forever and be filial to her!"

Luo Qingfan's smile grew even brighter as she took Li En's hand and couldn't help but ask, "Will En'er not be filial to his mother in the future?"

Li En immediately frowned: "Father and Grandmother both said that Aunt Qingfan is the only one worthy of being my mother, and that the existence of others would only bring shame to En'er!"

These words were particularly grating to An Wuyang's ears.

Well, the people we just chased away are now shamelessly coming here to buy hairpins.

That's it. She's already disappointed in her son, Rean. Let whoever wants to buy it for her buys it for her.

If Li En hadn't been her son, An Wuyang probably wouldn't have even bothered to save them a shred of dignity.

The whole family should be beaten and kicked out!

An Wuyang took a deep breath and composed herself.

"Shopkeeper, where did this glass bracelet come from?"

An Wuyang called out, and the shopkeeper hurriedly came over to greet him.

"Young lady, you have excellent taste. This bracelet is made of top-quality glass. Judging from its quality, it is a craft that was only available in the capital a few years ago, but has now been lost. This shop must have just acquired it."

The shopkeeper's introduction naturally drew the attention of both Luo Qingfan and Li En.

Upon seeing that Qing An was unharmed, Li En's face suddenly turned pale. His gaze fell on the glass bracelet on the counter that he hadn't had time to put away, and a hint of guilt flashed across his face.

An Wuyang's eyes fell on the glass bracelet, then a cold smile flashed across his face. He turned to look at Li En, waiting for him to come forward and give him an explanation.

Faced with An Wuyang's cold aura, Li En subconsciously shrank back.

But then he thought about how his mother had always been disliked by his father. Even if she found out something, what difference would it make? No matter what happened, as long as he was trying to make Aunt Qingfan happy, his father would praise him.

If Mother wants to enter the Marquis's mansion in the future, she will have to rely on herself to get Father and Grandmother's approval.

As a result, Rean felt even more secure, and his earlier humility vanished without a trace.

Just then, Luo Qingfan, beaming with joy, stepped forward with graceful steps.

"Sister An, look, isn't my hairpin pretty? En'er bought it for me!"

Luo Qingfan tilted her head, stroked the hairpin with one hand, and then smiled and said, "Sister is so lucky to have such a cute and well-behaved son as En'er!"

Rean then slowly walked forward, his face full of wariness and contempt.

"Why are you here too?"

The moment he opened his mouth, he exuded a look of disgust and accusation, as if he were a carbon copy of Li Huai-ren.

How can this be treated like this towards one's own mother? It's clearly worse than treating a servant.

"I lost a glass bracelet today, so I thought I'd come out and report it to the authorities so they can arrest that heartless thief!"

"But who would have thought that even with all the precautions, it's hard to guard against a thief within your own ranks!"

An Wuyang scoffed coldly, glancing meaningfully at Li En.

"A petty thief stole my things to fool people. I wonder if he can sleep at night wearing that on his head!"

Rean had already received his education and should know about propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame. Being openly called a thief by his own mother was naturally embarrassing for him.

Who are you calling a thief?

"The bracelet was a gift from your father. Now that I'm asking for it back on his behalf to help Aunt Qingfan get a new hairpin, what's wrong with that?"

"But you, instead of staying home to take good care of your family, are out showing your face in public. You've really disgraced yourself as a woman!"

Rean looked angry, his face flushed with emotion.

"Rean, are you talking to your mother?"

"You have committed such a wrong act today, and instead of repenting, you have openly humiliated your mother. You are so young and you are already not learning good things. If you continue like this, how will you ever have the face to go out and face people?"

An Wuyang rebuked him, his eyes filled with alienation and disappointment.

A mere glass bracelet wasn't enough to make her lose her composure; she just felt that her son was beyond saving.

Having committed such a morally corrupt act today, it is impossible to know what kind of person they will become in the future.

However, Yan Yan, who was standing beside An Wuyang, saw Li En's disrespect towards An Wuyang and a fierce look flashed across her face.

"Who are you? What gives you the right to talk about my sister like that?"
