ook his head."That person, his surname is Ye." Ouyang Wudi let out a wry smile, and the name "Ye Fan" suddenly popped into his mind. He felt Ye Fan had something to do with that person, but when he t...Chen Shou and his daughter knelt here for so long, yet no one paid them any attention. Their hearts must have been filled with worry and speculation.

Chen Yuer was thinking—she wasn't thinking of anything, she was just walking aimlessly.

She was terrified.

Deeply trapped in endless regret, like falling into a dark abyss, instinctively waving my hands and feet, but the fear of grasping nothing, helplessness.

That's fine.

Temporarily "stepping back" allowed him to avoid the overwhelming burden, preventing a complete mental collapse that would have led to long-term residency in a psychiatric hospital.

Chen Yuer, the culprit who most likely caused the Dali Duan clan's sudden collapse, could escape. However, Chen Shunan couldn't.

He had to, in the precious silence, find the fastest way possible to figure out how to do it without dragging the Chen family of Lingnan into this.

But this matter is quite serious.

Even though Chen Shunan is the brilliant strategist of the Lingnan Chen family, it's impossible to find the best solution in such a short time.

Especially when Li Nanfang arrived, Lao Ming said he had been waiting for him.

Chen Shunan immediately lost heart, no longer thinking about it, resigned to his fate.

He now knows who Li Nanfang is and the big shots backing him.

Though Lao Chen was quite surprised, how the Duan family dared to openly abduct Huaye Shen's husband and bring him to Dali — those details no longer mattered now.

It is important, why did Lao Duan wait for Li Nanfang to arrive before discussing this matter

That is to say, treat Li Nanfang, who has the gray forces behind him, as a legitimate son-in-law of the Duan family—the old fox, he is indeed an old fox.

Since Li Nanfang was now the son-in-law of the Duan family, his "wife" being a person directly involved in the Jianjun Festival live ammunition exercise's top-secret plan, he couldn't just stand idly by. Out of obligation and reason, he had to rack his brains and find a way to rescue Duan Xiangning.

If they could rescue Duan Xiangning, it would be like pulling the Duan clan of Dali back from the brink.

One person, Li Nanfang, cannot do it.

But he wasn't fighting alone —

The Duan family and Li Nanzhang teamed up, and the best solution to protect the Duan family must be related to the Chen family of Lingnan.

The Chen family could only meekly submit to the demands.

As soon as Li Nanfang walked in, Duan's mother brought him a chair and placed it beside Duan Lao.

Actually, the chair was not far from Old Duan, just about a meter away. Li Nanfang simply sat down.

Mother still did this, repeatedly expressing her gratitude.

The mother-in-law's eagerness made the Fourth Uncle's family feel uncomfortable: "This is my son-in-law. The person who should love and care for him is me, his real mother-in-law. I know you want to express your gratitude, but you still took over something that should have been mine."

When the matriarch softly asked Li Nanfang, "Do you know what's going on here", Lao Si's family couldn't take it anymore. They immediately walked over and whispered to him.

The mother-in-law was also clever. She realized that her eagerness would cause dissatisfaction from the fourth family, so she immediately gave the opportunity to "spoil her son-in-law" to the legitimate mother-in-law.

Li Nanshan knew what had happened when he went to Duan Xiangning's room to rest.

Although his mother-in-law insisted on telling him the details, he had no choice but to listen patiently.

Thus, everyone saw the son-in-law sitting majestically in a chair, even crossing his legs comfortably. The elegant and richly dressed mother-in-law stood behind him like a servant, whispering something to him when she served him tea and water.

Mr. Duan also picked up his teacup.

After the old fourth family had finally finished speaking, Lao Duan put down his teacup and looked at Chen's father and daughter. He sighed a breath of cold air: “Well, you all get up.”

Some things can't be solved just by kneeling and saying sorry. My death won't fix everything.

It's time to bring something real to the table.

Chen Shunan was also very clear about this, so he no longer knelt.

Kneeling, it's indeed not as comfortable as speaking while standing.

He knelt for too long, and the bluestone tiles in the Duan family hall were too hard. His knees had gone numb and ached, and blood circulation was poor.

So as Chen Shunan just stood up, his body staggered and he fell to the left rear.

Two people were standing in the direction Lao Chen fell, and one person was sitting.

Standing were Mr. and Mrs. Duan Lao Wu, while Duan Xiang was seated.

Actually, there were so many people in the hall. Only Lao Duan, Li Nanfang, and Duan Xiang who wanted to stand but had to sit on the armchair were sitting down.

Yet these three men, as Chen Shounan knelt before them with his legs losing their sense of direction and fell to the ground, all took a step back in unison — let him fall, after all, there's the ground to catch him.

The Duan family hated Chen's father and daughter so much that they would beat them up mercilessly, as long as they didn't die from the beating.

If the flowers are falling, the Duan family will also provide the best venue.

As Chen Shou-nan was about to fall to the ground, someone rushed over from the side and grabbed his arm.

"Third Uncle, be careful."

This is Duan Shuchang.

Although Chen Yuer was trying to push the Duan family into an abyss, he still couldn't ignore Chen Shunan falling.

That's what a real man is.

"Thank you, Emperor."

Chen Shunan also did not expect that the person who rushed to help him in time would be Duan Cuo, the Emperor.

He chuckled and thanked them, but in his heart he was filled with bitterness: "Such a good young man! How could he end up meeting such a terrible fate simply because he disliked fish"

Duan Shouchang slightly shook his head, gesturing that it wasn't necessary to thank him before turning to Chen Yuer.

Chen Yuer still knelt on the ground, her face remained calm, but her eyes were hollow and frightening.

It was obvious that she was oblivious to what had been happening around her.

Duan Shouchang hesitated for a moment, then bent down and reached out to grasp Chen Yuer's arm. His voice was bitter as he said, "Yuer, get up."

To say who is most regretful at present, besides Chen Yuer, it is Duan Shuchang.

If he had listened to his family's arrangements and discovered his grandfather's aging earlier, he would have known that the illustrious Dali Duan clan, with a history spanning over a hundred years, needed him to carry on its legacy and even take it further. Then, he wouldn't have developed the sentiment of "loving women more than the country" and pined after Shen Yun while avoiding Chen Yuer.

That way, Chen Yuer would not inadvertently discover his chat history with Shen Yun and be blinded by jealousy, leading to a disaster that would bring ruin to Dali Duan Shi.

Even if you regret it, and your heart is filled with bitterness, what can be done

Even if Duan Xiangning could ultimately shoulder all the responsibility and save the Duan family from this major disaster, would he be able to marry Chen Yuer

That definitely won't work.

This matter has become an insurmountable gulf, standing between the Duan family and the Chen family.

Never get back together.

Just like a puppet, Chen Yuer was docilely helped up by Duan Shuhou.

Fortunately, Emperor Duan didn't scold her, but instead gave her the patience she needed. Chen Yuer, deep in the abyss of remorse, was able to avoid the misfortune of a mental breakdown.

He staggered, then steadied himself, and finally his eyes focused.

Chen Shunan, who had always been closely watching her daughter, let out a sigh of relief only after seeing her finally show a normal reaction.

He had made up his mind.

If his daughter were to have a mental breakdown, he would absolutely commit suicide on the spot.

The fish truly committed an unforgivable error.

But after the Chen family, father and daughter, paid a heavy price of one death and one madness, the Duan family could no longer bully them too much and continue to make the Lingnan Chen family pay.

Chen Shunan just let out a breath of relief, his body staggered and he instinctively hugged Duan Chuyu's arm, suddenly noticing Li Nanshan.

No one knew, no one understood, Chen Yu'er awoke from her long stupor and upon seeing Li Nanfang, she suddenly broke free of Duan Shouchang's grasp, flinging her arms open and rushing towards him, uttering a hoarse cry: "Li Nanfang, save me!"

Chen Yuer's sudden burst of diligence left everyone stunned.

This includes Li Nanfang himself.

He no longer recognizes Chen Yuer as who she is.

Just as his head suddenly throbbed when he heard her calling his favorite name, Li Nanfang.

When anyone's head suddenly aches, their reaction will become a bit dull.

Just as Li Nanfang was caught off guard, to everyone's surprise, Chen Yuer, who had been unusually silent, pounced into his arms. She held him tightly, tears streaming down her face as she spoke in a choked voice, "Li Nanfang, save me, please save me. I know, only you can save me."

Confused.

Everyone was stunned.

What does this mean

Why did Chen Yuer think that Li Nanfang could save her, and why should he save her

But those who soon understood, of course, would not consider these things.

A roar of anger erupted: “Nonsense, he's Ye Shen, the son-in-law of the Duan family. Where is he Li Nanfang!”

"You shameless, disgusting woman, get your filthy hands off Ye Shen!"

"Fish, don't talk nonsense!"

Finally, that last sentence came out of Chen Shunan's mouth, who was utterly shocked, almost screaming it out while crying.

All members of the Duan family knew that the daughter-in-law brought back by Duan Xiangning was the wife of Huaye Shen, the nephew of Yue Zitong, Li Nanfang.

But everyone pretended to be ignorant and treated him like Ye Shen.

Why is that

Of course, there are hidden benefits behind this.

Given Chen Shunan's intelligence, it would have been easy for him to figure this out upon learning that Ye Shen was Li Nanfang.

That's why he was afraid.

Regret even more.

Regretting being in the guest room, listening to my daughter say those things, how I didn't just snap and kill her, then take my own life.

Chen Yuer's jealousy has already brought a devastating disaster to the Duan family.

Now she was going to tear open the emperor's new clothes—Chen Shunan was about to cry: "Grandaunt, how many enemies are you going to bring to the Chen family"

Chen Yuer was unconcerned. The elderly Fifth, and the others who were desperately struggling to pull her out of Li Nanfang's arms, shouted loudly: "Li Nanfang, I know you can save me. Only you can save me. Because I now know many of your secrets, knowing that you are not a—"

Slap!

A resounding slap echoed before Li Nanshan's eyes.

It was Chen Shunan who arrived just in time, slapped his daughter hard across the face, and cut her off.

At this moment, he truly hated his daughter.

I just want to kill her immediately and then commit suicide.

That settles it.

"Die!"

Chen Shunan cried, reaching out to strangle Chen Yuer's neck when Li Nanshan promptly kicked him in the stomach with his foot. With a slight push, he sent Chen Shunan flying backward.

"Let go."

Li Nanfang frowned, looking at Duan Lao Wu who was about to drag Chen Yuer away. He said unhappily, "I want to hear what she has to say. I suddenly feel like I might really be called Li Nanfang."

Elder Five's face changed, and he opened his mouth just about to speak when Elder Five beside him coughed timely.

He immediately let go of his hand and backed away with Duan Lao Si.

From within the hall, came the sound of a man's muffled sobs.

It is Chen Shou-nan.

Chen Yuer's ramblings, made under the strain of near-breakdown, instead drove him to a true mental collapse.

Otherwise, he wouldn't cry.

His father's cries, like a deafening gong, were a sudden jolt to Chen Yuer, pulling her back from her madness.

Stand there motionless.

"Alright. No one will bother you anymore. Tell me, what secret do you know And why are you so sure I can save you"

Li Nanfang felt that his voice now sounded like the big bad wolf lulling Little Red Riding Hood.

Chen Yuer shook her head and chuckled softly, "I don't know either."
