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

Upon hearing Wang's shameless remarks, An Wuyang subconsciously took a step back.

"Please stop saying that!"

An Wuyang spoke urgently.

A hint of joy flashed across Wang's face. This made Li Huai-ren feel much more relieved.

Previously, An Wuyang must have been jealous that everyone was vying for Luo Qingfan's attention, which caused An Wuyang to feel jealous.

That's why she's always been against my family. Now that I've given her a little kindness, An Wuyang is already eagerly clinging to me again.

She will definitely say something expressing her gratitude next, such as that we are all family, to smooth things over.

Wang listened attentively.

An Wuyang continued, "If your Li family wants someone to be a good wife and mother, one Luo Qingfan is enough."

"I'm not going to your Li residence!"

An Wuyang spoke with absolute certainty, as if he was afraid of being associated with their family in any way.

"An Wuyang, how dare you say that?"

"If you're not coming to the Li residence, where are you going?"

"You are En'er's biological mother!"

As Wang spoke, she pushed Li En towards An Wuyang.

Rean had been frightened and hadn't had time to wash off the stains on his body.

Although Wang loved her grandson dearly, she still found the place rather dirty.

“It’s alright. Although you were the hero last night, no matter how glorious you are in front of others, you are still En’er’s mother after all. You should take good care of your parents-in-law, husband, and son at home!”

Madam Wang couldn't help but put on airs again, and said sternly, "Hurry up and take En'er back to change her clothes?"

An Wuyang was almost amused by her shameless attitude.

They genuinely despised me before, even trying every means to get rid of me. Now that they see I have some value, they want to coax me back with a few kind words, and even want to enjoy the blessings of having two wives!

Shameless, utterly shameless.

An Wuyang flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.

But suddenly he felt an unusual heaviness under his feet.

She looked down and saw Li En hugging An Wuyang's leg, tears streaming down his face.

He looked pitiful, his terrified eyes filled with unease.

After all, he was the child she had carefully raised for several years, and his childhood innocence and cuteness still occasionally surfaced in An Wuyang's mind.

An Wuyang felt a pang of sadness and made a move to squat down and comfort him.

But the next instant, Rean punched An Wuyang hard in the leg.

"Mother, why did you come down to save me so late?"

"Do you know how terrified I was? You're the one who embarrassed me!"

"I hate you!"

Upon hearing Li En's words, the pity that had just arisen in An Wuyang's heart vanished instantly.

"Rean, where did you learn to be so heartless and ungrateful? I risked my life to save you, and you turn around and say you hate me!"

Is there any such logic in the world?

"You really are a child of the Li family; you're all the same—ungrateful and unable to distinguish right from wrong!"

An Wuyang rebuked him sharply, showing no respect whatsoever to Li En or even the people of the Li family.

Unable to contain himself, Li Huai-ren pulled Li En back to his side: "An Wu-yang, how can you talk to a child like that?"

"As En'er's mother, saving En'er is your duty. How can a mother ask En'er for something in return?"

Li Huai-ren had shed his previous pretense, his face now filled with sarcasm and resentment.

"I only allowed you to enter the gates of the Marquis of Loyalty and Valor's mansion because you showed some backbone by sacrificing your life for righteousness today!"

"But as you saw, Qingfan invented the musket, and later led Luo Xiang's guards to reinforce Ning County! Qingfan deserves the greatest credit for today's battle!"

"When the time comes, you must remember to stay true to your duty and not be greedy for credit!"

Li Huai-ren spoke with a clear conscience, as if he were the one who had the final say on how to reward those who had contributed to the battle today.

With a joyful expression, Luo Qingfan stood beside Li Huai Ren and declared loudly, "It is my duty as a citizen of this dynasty to fight to the death to protect Ning County!"

"Although I deserve a great deal of credit for this battle, I dare not claim any credit. The glory of this battle should belong to each and every one of us!"

Luo Qingfan's words were so moving that they drew frequent glances from those around him.

Wen Jingnian stepped forward slowly: "Miss Luo, you are mistaken. The greatest merit in this battle still needs further consideration!"

As soon as Wen Jingnian finished speaking, Luo Qingfan's expression turned extremely ugly.

Just as she was about to argue, she saw several women leading children approach An Wuyang from a distance. In the next instant, they all knelt at An Wuyang's feet.

"Madam An, thank you so much for saving my life!"
