Chapter 709: Chapter 714 - What Are You Thinking?_1

Lady Li contemplated for a moment before recounting the events.

"I don’t know what happened, but during the play, she seemed very angry. I told her to go rest, but she refused, so I didn’t make a big deal out of it."

"Later, she suddenly stood up and started cursing at people. When I went to stop her, she pushed me down, and she even cursed at Old Lady Bai. The things she said... I was too embarrassed to listen."

"Sir, you have to find a way to suppress this matter, otherwise, we’ll be completely disgraced!"

Li Zhengtian, who valued his reputation above all else, had his face turn ashen when he learned about his daughter’s outrageous behavior.

"You rest well, I will go out and take a look."

Having said that, Li Zhengtian strode out sternly.

His first thought was that Li Mu’er had been set up by someone, and he was determined to expose the person behind the scenes!

Once the door closed, Lady Li’s face twisted into a scornful smile.

She knew the whole story, but if she told Li Zhengtian, he wouldn’t believe her and might even think she was deliberately slandering her stepdaughter.

So the best approach was to let him see the evidence with his own eyes; seeing is believing, after all.

"Li Hua, report back to me immediately with any news," said Lady Li, her eyes narrowing.

She wanted to know how Li Mu’er had dug her own grave.

If not, wouldn’t her broken arm be in vain?

Li Hua nodded: "Madam, rest assured, I’ll go right away."

In the guest room, Li Mu’er had fallen into a deep sleep after drinking the medicine and woke up only two hours later.

She blinked slowly, her memory gradually coming back into place, and with it, anxiety and anger surged in her heart.

She must have noticed something was off with the tea and then subtly switched it with hers.

Without Bai Yifan, what was the point of her living?

But before that, she had to kill Qiao Duo’er as a scapegoat!

Li Mu’er suddenly sat up, put on her shoes, and dashed out the door, looking as if she was ready to fight to the death.

Li Zhengtian asked in annoyance, "Stop right there! What craziness are you up to now that you’ve just woken up?"

"It must be Qiao Duo’er, I’m going to seek revenge on her!"

Li Mu’er said with her eyes red, believing that everything she was facing was thanks to Qiao Duo’er!

"Stand still! Do you think nobody knows about the ’good’ deeds you’ve done?" Li Zhengtian said in a stern voice.

He always held immense affection for this daughter, who was naive and cute, and because she was the only daughter of his first wife, he had always spoiled her.

But he never expected her real nature could only be described as malicious.

Li Mu’er, enraged, said, "Father, am I not your daughter? I’ve been bullied like this, yet you actually won’t help me!"

If it had been in the past, her father would certainly have sought revenge for her.

Did he also think that her reputation was completely ruined, that she had no value anymore?

Hmph, so it turns out she was just like any other family’s daughter—used to trade for benefits!

"You colluded with the mountain bandits, planned harm against the Qiao Clan, and even poisoned the golden sore medicine, almost killing members of the Qiao Clan and the guard. And today, you’re up to mischief again. Do you really think everyone is a fool?"

Li Zhengtian said with disappointment. Who could tell him why Li Mu’er had become like this?

Why would she do such malevolent things!

"It was that woman who framed me; I didn’t do anything!"

Li Mu’er denied flatly without any hesitation.

Li Zhengtian glared at Li Mu’er and said in a cold voice, "Make sure she is well watched. If she takes even one step out of this room, you will go to your deaths with her!"

This daughter was truly... beyond help!

But she was the only blood of Ya Xian left behind. Even if she was beyond help, he still had to try to save her.

Even if it wasn’t for the sake of Li Mu’er, he still had to consider the reputation of the Li Family.

He didn’t want to be pointed at wherever he went in the future.
