Chui Ying-shu didn't know how much Old Man Li knew about this matter, but it didn't hinder his current disgust towards the people of the Li family.

  He sprang to his feet and stood in front of Song Chuyi, facing Old Master Li with a cold smile: "I've only heard that men talk and women don't interrupt, but I've never heard that the victim can't speak during a trial. Your Li family has such heavy rules, our Cui family is inferior to you!"

  As for being proper, who can be more proper than the four great families that have been around for hundreds of years? Mr. Li's face turned purple with rage, and he slapped his sleeve, scolding Mrs. Li: "Shut up!"

  Mrs. Li, however, was not willing to give up and even threw herself at Li, walking a few steps before grabbing Song Chuyi's sleeve and pinning her tightly to her own side, then proceeding to scratch and claw wildly.

  Choi Ying Shu reacted slowly, and by the time he came to his senses, he was already furious. However, his upbringing did not allow him to lay hands on a woman, so he could only clench his fists in anger, his whole body trembling with rage.

  "How much suffering and hardship has your mother endured for you?! You heartless little thing, don't know who's been whispering in your ear, and now you're joining forces with outsiders to harm your own mother! I'm going to give that ungrateful daughter of the Song family a good scolding!" Old Lady Li pointed her finger at Song Chu-yi's forehead, causing her to continuously lean back.

  Mrs. Song had already stood up in shock and angrily said: "What are you doing?!"

  The madam supported Mrs. Song and also showed dissatisfaction and contempt on her face.

  Among the electric light and flint, only Mrs. Cui immediately reacted, like an eagle pouncing on Old Lady Li, fiercely grabbing her hair and pulling it back.

  Mrs. Li was pulled so hard that her scalp felt tight and numb, and she had no choice but to drop Song Chuyi.

  Mrs. Choi immediately seized the opportunity and kicked her hard in the knee pit, then heavily pushed her to the ground.

  The whole room was stunned, only Old Lady Song repeatedly called out to Yulan to bring over Song Chuyi, personally checking her from head to toe before furiously glaring at Old Lady Li: "Just now you were talking about rules and regulations, but now I've truly witnessed the so-called 'great rules' of the Li family! Has the old lady forgotten that this isn't your Li family's living room, but our Bo Manor?! In our Bo Manor, hitting our own daughter, where is the reason in that?!"

  Mrs. Li was no longer afraid of Mrs. Song, and upon hearing this, she coldly smiled and stood up with the help of Mrs. Li, who had rushed over to support her. She almost frantically asked: "How nice are your words! Now my daughter is almost being wronged to death, what etiquette can I still care about?! In the few years she's been married here, how has she done? Everyone has seen it with their own eyes. For the children left behind by Mrs. Cui, she has treated them as if they were precious gems in her mouth and hands, afraid of dropping them. How many people can do this?! And yet, despite all this, your heart is still biased, Old Lady! People say whatever they want, and when a few members of the Cui family came out to say that Jingyu harmed Mrs. Cui, you actually believed it! I'm truly disheartened for my daughter. After raising her for so many years, I've ended up raising a white-eyed wolf!"

  Mrs. Song's heart was trembling with rage, her hands shaking as she pointed at Mrs. Li, gritting her teeth in anger: "You don't have to mock me for being biased, if I were really biased, all these years of picking on your precious daughter would be enough to ruin her!"

  Song Chuyi was patient to the extreme, suddenly passing by Old Lady Song and walking to Old Man Song's side, staring coldly at Old Man Li: "Old Master, you want evidence? I have evidence here. But with your family's old lady making such a fuss, no matter how much evidence there is, it will all be messed up by her. You don't need to point at her and mess things up just to cover up the truth."

  Mrs. Choi gave a quick glance at Old Lady Li, silently cursing her as an old fox, then raised her chin and picked up where Song Chuyi left off: "Otherwise, I'll have to go into the palace and make a complaint!"

  Mrs. Li wanted to make a scene and see if the Cui family would take her bait.

  Mr. Li glared at the little girl again, his eyes gloomy and serious for a long time, but he didn't see any fear in her expression, which secretly shocked him. On the surface, however, he only coughed a few times, forcing himself to calm down and say, "Since there's evidence, bring it all out then."

  Song Chuyi tucked her scattered hair behind her ear, and the calm Ah Huang waved his hand.

  Huang Niang had already presented the testimonial evidence signed and fingerprinted by Li Gui and others, as well as the testimonial evidence of Lin Wei and the identification of Li Gui by that group of hoodlums.

  Even the several nuns from Qingliang Temple who had witnessed Song Yi and Li's affair at that time all provided signed testimonies.

  Mr. Li's heart grew colder as he watched, and finally, unable to contain his rage, he slapped his daughter heavily with a swing of his hand.

  "How dare you do something that disgraces the Li family!"

  Li was hit and her head turned to the side, a clear palm print appeared on her pale face as white as jade, and it quickly swelled up high. She looked at Mrs. Li with a deadpan expression, hoping that her mother could save herself from this desperate situation.

  Mrs. Li looked at the scene in front of her with a cold gaze, and couldn't help but reveal an unexpectedly contemptuous expression, casting a warning glance at her husband beside her.

  Mrs. Li rushed up to block her daughter, and with tears in her eyes, she grasped her husband's hand: "That's enough! The testimony could also be a false confession obtained through torture under the pressure of the Cui family's power, what can't they do?! They are just bullying our daughter!"

  "No one dares to bully my daughter!" Old Lady Song finally regained her composure, and with a scornful smile at Old Lady Li, she said: "On the contrary, it's been her who has been bullying Xiao Yi all along. With so much evidence in front of you, you still don't believe it, do you really need to go to the Emperor to clarify things?!"

  Now things can still be salvaged, and the Cui family doesn't necessarily want to make a big deal out of it. It's best if they can come up with a plan privately, so as not to let the matter become a laughing stock in Kyoto.

  Otherwise, when the time comes, it will be spread out that Li's family was hooked up with Song Yi before marriage, and even dared to kill Song Yi's original wife in order to become the first wife. Even if Li's family loses face, Song Yi and the Song family will also lose face.

  Mrs. Li was not convinced and wanted to argue again, but Mr. Li knew that the Cui family would not give up easily, and if they didn't make a concession today, the Cui family would really dare to file a complaint with the imperial court.

  But when he reported to the Emperor, he was drenched in cold sweat and felt that his clothes under his arms were all wet.

  Song Chuyi knew that the real master of the Li family was still Old Master Li, so he turned his face to look at him: "If you and the old lady think the evidence is not enough, I have two more witnesses here. Would you like to see them together?"

  Mrs. Li snorted coldly, her tearful eyes blurred with rage: "See? Of course I want to see! Who is it?"

  "Ta Sun and the second son of Zhen Nan Wang, Ye Jing Chuan." Song Chu Yi's mouth curved deeper: "Since the old lady wants to see him, I'll have someone go invite him."
