Liu Shimei's face showed an extremely sincere and deep emotion, as if the person who tried to kill Ran Qi had nothing to do with him at the moment. At this moment, Liu Shimei had lost his arrogance and conceit. He was like a docile sheep, crawling devoutly at Ran Qi's feet.

"You and I have been married for three years, and the love between us is so deep and strong. Ranqi, can't you forgive my mistakes?" Liu Shimei's voice was full of pleading and expectation, and his eyes revealed endless regret and self-blame.

He stared at Ran Qi with a burning gaze, his eyes full of hope and desire, as if he wanted to find even a trace of understanding and tolerance from her cold face. However, at this moment, Liu Shimei couldn't help but feel desperate when facing such a resolute Ran Qi. But he still didn't give up, trying to touch Ran Qi's heart with words: "Ran Qi, we have been husband and wife for three whole years! Can you really bear to watch me fall into such a desperate situation and remain indifferent?"

Unfortunately, Ran Qi was not moved by Liu Shimei's words. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a firm and indifferent light, and she responded without hesitation: "If a person does something wrong, he must bear the consequences and pay the price for his mistakes. You have brought this upon yourself, and this is just the retribution you deserve!"

Seeing that Ranqi had no intention of letting him go, Liu Shimei suddenly felt resentful and could not help but complain: "Ranqi, Ranqi, we have been married for three years, but you have never told me that you have such abilities. If I had known that you had special skills and could even become the national teacher, how could I have done such stupid things?"

Seeing her son being humiliated, Li, who was standing by, quickly jumped out to help. She pointed her finger at Ran Qi and kept accusing him, "Humph! You, a woman, have never been wholeheartedly devoted to my precious son. You clearly have such a powerful ability, but you even hid it from my son.

In the final analysis, all of this is your fault! Now my son is willing to forgive you and accept you back to his side, but you still don't know what's good for you. You should let us go quickly!"

Obviously, Li was used to ordering the original owner around. No matter how noble Ran Qi was now, in Li's eyes, she was still the poor daughter-in-law who could only accept everything and obey her orders.

"You are simply stubborn!" Ran Qi's eyes widened with anger, and she shouted at the top of her lungs. She couldn't believe that things had developed to such a point, but Liu Shimei and Li Shi still had no intention of repenting, and even pushed all the blame onto her.

In fact, Ran Qi never expected Liu Shimei to feel remorse. After all, no matter what, all this would eventually become the bad consequences that Liu Shimei deserved. However, Liu Shimei was completely unaware of this and continued to chatter as usual: "Ran Qi, don't tell me that you have never treated me sincerely from the beginning to the end?"

"All I have tried so hard to do is to ensure that you can survive safely, but you have kept secrets from me!" At this moment, Liu Shimei seemed to have been completely immersed in the lies she had carefully woven, and even she believed them.

Liu Xian Xiangyun watched coldly as Liu Shimei knelt down and begged for mercy, looking like a lost dog. She couldn't help but feel a surge of deep regret in her heart. What on earth had blinded her eyes? What made her fall in love with such a cowardly, incompetent, and heartless person? At this moment, Liu Xian Xiangyun felt extremely regretful and wished that time could go back so that she could make a new choice.

However, things have developed to this point and a huge and irreparable mistake has been made. Liu Xiangyun knows that he cannot escape the blame and has no choice but to admit his mistake.

She knelt on both knees and kowtowed heavily with all her strength. Her forehead made a crisp sound when it hit the ground. "Master Imperial Master, please punish me! It's all my fault. I actually fell in love with that vicious person. Master Imperial Master, no matter how you want to deal with me, whether you kill me or cut me up, I will never complain. But I only ask that Master Imperial Master can show mercy and spare the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion. They have nothing to do with this matter and are innocent!"

Liu Xiangyun kowtowed so hard every time that her forehead broke and blood oozed out, staining the ground beneath her red. This scene was enough to show how determined she was to bear all the punishments alone and protect her family.

At this moment, Prime Minister Liu, who had just heard the news, came in a panic. As soon as he stepped into the room, he heard Liu Xiangyun's words.

"Alas..." Prime Minister Liu sighed deeply, as if he had aged ten years in an instant. He was filled with helplessness and grief, but he didn't know how to face the situation before him.

"Xiangyun has grown up and become sensible." Tears flowed uncontrollably from Prime Minister Liu's eyes and his voice trembled.

Liu Xiangyun slowly raised her head, her eyes meeting the prime minister's. Her eyes were filled with guilt and self-blame, and she kowtowed again: "Dad, it is my unfilial daughter who has brought you such a disaster and implicated you. If there is an afterlife, I still want to be your daughter and repay your kindness in raising me!"

Prime Minister Liu's words were stuck in his throat. "Xiangyun, my daughter." Prime Minister Liu had a thousand words to say, but they were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them. They turned into tears.

He also wanted to try his best to save his daughter, but Prime Minister Liu also knew that if Ran Qi was determined to put their Prime Minister's Mansion to death, then the emperor would definitely order the execution of their entire family.

Liu Xiangyun knew that this matter was of great importance. If he could take it on himself without involving the Prime Minister's residence, it would mean that the lives of more than a hundred people in the Prime Minister's residence would be saved. After all, Prime Minister Liu loved his daughter deeply, but at the same time he was also responsible for the life and death of many people, who all depended on him.

Faced with such a difficult decision, Prime Minister Liu was in great pain. In the end, he had to reluctantly give up Liu Xiangyun in order to protect the entire Prime Minister's Mansion. However, all these calculations and plans had already been seen through by Ran Qi. However, Ran Qi didn't care about it at all, because the person she originally wanted to deal with was just Liu Xiangyun!

At this time, Ran Qi faced the emperor and said in a firm tone: "Your Majesty, please fulfill Miss Liu's wish!" Hearing this, Liu Xiangyun burst into tears instantly and said with a sob: "Thank you... Thank you, Master Imperial Master." Then, she turned to face Prime Minister Liu and cried with tears on her face: "Dad, I am an unfilial daughter! From now on, I can no longer serve you and fail to repay your kindness in raising me. Just pretend that you don't have a disobedient and unfilial daughter like me!" After that, she burst into tears, her body trembling slightly, as if she was suffering from great pain and helplessness.

Prime Minister Liu's eyes were now blurred with tears. "My daughter!"
