“I only heard about it this morning.” Yang Wanyu’s expression froze for a moment, and then she clasped her fingers uneasily.

Yang Shicheng looked at her guilty look and replied coldly, “Since you know, why didn’t you stop it? Our family isn’t at the end of its rope, no?

“How much more of my dignity do you want to ditch?”

“I… But…”

Yang Shicheng laughed and said, “What do you think you are doing? All you want is to gather your dowry and to get married in glory.”

He gave her a hard slap and continued, “I’m ruined. If you still want to get married, go marry a tramp.”

After saying that, he went straight to Yang Wanning’s small courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, he saw Yang Wanning embroidering and stepped forward to kick her.

Yang Wanning had noticed him when he entered, so she did not dodge when she saw him kicking her, but she was not stupid enough to take the kick directly.

She purposefully moved backward when he kicked her to lessen the force of the blow, but she nonetheless fell to the ground.

Then, she looked at him with an aggrieved expression and asked, “Father, what happened? Why are you kicking your daughter?”

“You’re not my daughter, and 1 don’t have a stupid daughter like you.”

When Yang Wanning heard this, she understood that her cousin had settled their plan. She was elated but still asked with a blank expression, “Where do you get this from?”

“Let me ask you, did you ask King Rui for his betrothal gift in advance through Gu Chengrui?”

Yang Wanning acted stunned, bit her lip, and hesitated to speak. “Yes, but I didn’t want to, but Grandmother…”

Yang Shicheng understood immediately that it must have been Madam Cui who pressured Yang Wanning to do this.

Thinking of this, he harbored hatred for Madam Cui. She knew how much he had suffered over the years for his reputation.

However, because of a few words from her niece, Mrs. Cui, she disregarded her son’s reputation for Yang Wanyu’s dowry.

Again, he berated Yang Wanning in a bad mood, saying, “Are you stupid? What will King Rui think of you in the future?”

“Didn’t you always ask us to listen to Grandmother?”

“You… do you know that the betrothal gift is for Wanyu as her dowry?”

“I know.”

“Then why did you…”

“Hasn’t my mother always been the head of the family? Didn’t my mother’s dowry fall into the hands of her and my grandmother? Chenglin and I only want to grow up safely.” When Yang Wanning said this, a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.

Although Yang Shicheng didn’t see her mocking gaze, he could tell from her tone that she was resentful. He narrowed his eyes and said, “So you went with the flow. Why didn’t you ask for my opinion first?”

“Ever since the Gu family was raided, have you even listened to us once? You even ignored my mother’s requests before she passed away. Do you think I would still look for you?”

A sharp glint flashed across his eyes after Yang Shicheng heard her dissatisfaction and hatred. He then asked, “So you aren’t even considering your future? If you do this, you’ll be looked down upon by others in the future.”

“King Rui wouldn’t be so superficial.

“Besides, the clothes Mrs. Cui prepared for me during the palace banquet had already exposed my status in the family. Do you think he wouldn’t know of this?”

“You…”

“Big sister, how can you talk to Father like that?” Yang Wanyu walked over and gloated.

“At least, better than you. For the sake of a grand marriage, you ignored our family’s current situation and ruined everything.” Yang Wanning turned her head and mocked.

Yang Wanyu heard her words and immediately remembered the slap she had just received. She immediately panicked and retorted, “You’re talking nonsense! What does this have to do with me? Those things were all orchestrated by Mother..”
