Right now, Cheng Chuming was covered in whip marks, his hair a tangled mess.
He lifted his eyelids to stare at Bai Xin, then slowly closed them again without a word.
"Chuming, have you not given a single thought to Yunxiang?"
"That Cheng Yunsu is your daughter, but isn't Yunxiang your son, too?"
"If you die, what will become of him?"
Cheng Chuming's whole body shuddered. He forced his eyes open again, but his gaze held nothing but misery and despair.
Torn between his children, he finally rasped, "You know Yunsu is my daughter, yet you want to harm her. More than a decade ago, you abandoned her outside the Great Wu Imperial City."
Faced with Cheng Chuming's accusation, Bai Xin's expression twisted, and she shrieked...
"You... you... you actually believe her lies?"
"Those are all lies meant to hurt me! She just didn't want you to take a second wife! She's held a grudge against me since she was a child."
"I've been so good to her all these years! Are you blind?"
