It seemed as if he couldn’t believe it and was slow to react.

Only when he felt a searing pain on his face did Wu Hongtao realize that his daughter had just slapped him.

“You… You…”

He was so infuriated that he could not speak for a long time.

Wu Jinyan stared at him, her voice unwavering. “My mother was involved in prostitution, but she was born into a respectable family. It was only after she was abducted and brought here that she suffered. But what about you? You tormented her, brought her into this household, yet never once cared for her. She died at the age of thirty…”

Tears streamed down Wu Jinyan’s resolute face as she continued, “And after my mother passed away, how did you treat me? You never fulfilled the responsibilities of a husband or a father, but you did give me life and raise me. So, for all these years, regardless of the humiliations I endured from Madam and my sister, 1 never held any grudge against you as my father. However, do you deserve to be called ‘Father’ by me again?”

“You rebellious daughter, how dare you utter such words? Madam’s indulgence has spoiled you!” Wu Hongtao appeared like a clown whose mask had been stripped off, enraged and humiliated.

He resorted to hitting and verbally abusing Wu Jinyan.

Wu Jinyan endured each blow and insult, calmly stating, “Today, we sever our ties! From now on, there will be no connection between us!”

“You…”

Wu Hongtao’s anger overwhelmed him, causing him to faint.

What a daughter, and what a daughter raised by a woman with a scandalous past!

When Liang Jin saw Wu Hongtao faint, he immediately waved his hand and asked someone to carry him to the side hall.

He called for a doctor to examine Wu Hongtao. The doctor diagnosed him with an episode of anger-induced distress, questioning if he could continue the trial today.

Liang Jin turned around and glanced at Wu Jinyan. His heart ached for her, but he was helpless.

His attention shifted to Su Yingxue, and a spark of hope emerged. “Su Yingxue, let’s conclude today’s proceedings. If you can revive Lord Wu, I will adjourn this case today.”

Liang Jin detested unnecessary delays. When the facts were clear, he loathed prolonging matters.

Across the entire Capital Prefecture, who knew how many pending cases awaited resolution?

“Lord Liang, let’s adjourn the session for today.”

Chu Yihan entered the side hall, his authoritative voice laden with immense pressure that made even breathing difficult.

Approaching Su Yingxue’s side, Wu Jinyan stood by her. Liang Jin’s expression revealed his dilemma. “Ninth Prince, given your esteemed position, you must understand that prolonging this case is not advisable.”

“Do you disregard my words, Lord Liang?” Chu Yihan’s intense gaze cast a deeper weight upon Liang Jin’s shoulders.

He found himself momentarily speechless.

“Lord Liang, after you complete the trial, I’ll cooperate with you to revive Lord Wu. However, I wish to treat him privately, with all of you leaving the room.” Su Yingxue held a notebook beneath her arm, appearing carefree and innocently girlish.

Liang Jin shook his head decisively. “I must oversee your treatment of Lord Wu. After all, your medical skills are quite extraordinary.”

Her ability to cure his madam, rescue Consort Xiang, and elicit the truth from Wu Ruofei with a single needle left Liang Jin somewhat suspicious of her methods. As the capital governor, he was bound to maintain fairness and impartiality.

“Lord Liang, my expertise is in medicine, not sorcery. 1 can’t manipulate a person, and I certainly won’t bring harm to Lord Wu.” Su Yingxue’s expression held genuine innocence.

The weight Chu Yihan exerted upon Liang Jin was substantial. Thus, he was unwilling to take any risks.

What if this lady relied on Chu Yihan’s power to kill Wu Hongtao?

With Chu Yihan around, this was not impossible..
