The next afternoon, Xia Younan was ready and took Zhu Li and Chan En to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Ye Baijiang was working in the study. When he saw her, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he immediately calmed down, as if he was still unwilling to expose his already tattered face.

The people sent to test and assassinate her never returned, and he just received news that she and Lu Xiuyuan returned home safely.

He didn't understand what was going on and didn't dare to act rashly.

His mind was in turmoil, but he greeted her with a fake smile: "Hey, Qing'er, how come you have time to come and see daddy?"

Xia Younan felt sick when she saw his hypocritical look. She really couldn't pretend any longer and didn't even want to endure it anymore.

So, I can no longer endure it!

She mercilessly mocked him, "Old man, it's a pity that you don't go to act. You obviously hate me in your heart, but on the surface you still pretend to be a loving father and daughter. Aren't you tired?"

Ye Baijiang's heart skipped a beat, and he scolded unhappily: "What do you mean by this? Why do you talk to Dad like that? This is simply disobedient and unfilial!"

Xia Younan had a sneer on his face, his eyes were frighteningly gloomy, "Dad? What a good word! Then, my daughter, let me ask you, if a father wants to send someone to kill his own daughter, is he still worthy of being called 'Dad'?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Baijiang's face changed drastically, and the fear in his heart surged like a strong wind and huge waves.

What did she mean by that? Did she already know?

She said those people wanted to kill her, which means she failed the test he gave her?

Xia Younan sneered at his interesting expression, put his hands on the desk, moved closer to him sinisterly, and smiled like a fox.

"Old man, are you waiting for someone? Don't wait, they won't come back.

"If you really want to find them, then go to the county government office near Shihu Mountain. After all, unclaimed bodies in the wild are usually sent to the county government office for placement.

"I just wonder if the morgue in the government office is spacious enough. Will those people... be crowded when they sleep?"

Ye Baijiang stared at her with wide eyes, his head buzzing, and he could hardly believe his ears.

Oh my god, does Ye Shiqing mean that all the killers he sent out are dead?

Was he...killed by her?

Impossible! This is impossible! Those people were elite soldiers that he had trained for many years. There were more than 30 of them. It was impossible that not a single one of them was left alive.

Ye Shiqing clearly didn't bring any followers with her, so how could she possibly wipe out his entire assassin team by herself?

"How...how is it possible?!" He couldn't help but ask out loud.

The fact that Ye Shiqing came here and said these words to him meant that she already knew everything, and there was no need for him to continue acting with her.

Xia Younan stretched out his palm and clenched his fingers one by one into a solid fist in front of him.

"Why is this impossible? Last time, I defeated all the people in your Prime Minister's Mansion by myself. Even the Imperial Guards were no match for me. You sent those few useless people and you dare to kill me?"

Ye Baijiang was frightened by the terrifying coldness in her eyes and took two steps back. He growled madly: "You... who are you?"

Xia Younan remained calm, with a smile that made people's scalps numb, "I'm your daughter. Dad, don't you even recognize your own daughter?"

"Impossible!" Ye Baijiang slammed his sleeves hard, sweeping all the books on the desk to the ground, staring at her with red eyes, "My daughter has been by my side since she was a child. She can't have such powerful martial arts, and she can't betray me!"

Xia Younan didn't want to reveal his true identity, so he just shrugged his shoulders and said innocently, "Dad, is he suffering from Alzheimer's? Look at your daughter's face, how can it be fake?"

Ye Baijiang stared at her face, as if he wanted to drill a hole in her face with his eyes.

However, after looking at her for a long time, his eyes were bloodshot, but he still couldn't see any flaws on her face.

That beautiful and charming little face is indeed Ye Baijiang's second daughter!

After a long while, he seemed to be tired, and sat down in a chair dejectedly, asking angrily: "Why? Why did you betray me? I am your biological father!

"What did you promise me when you got married? Why are you and Lu Xiuyuan acting like this now?"

"It was my father who asked someone to kill me first, wasn't it?" Xia Younan asked back.

Ye Baijiang did have something to say, and he retorted: "If you hadn't failed my test, why would I have killed you?"

"So, just because I didn't help my father kill someone, he wants to kill your biological daughter? Is the blood relationship between father and daughter so fragile compared to power?"

Xia Younan's expression became increasingly cold, and she felt heartbroken for Ye Shiqing.

My biological father wanted to kill me just because I didn't obey him.

"Ye Baijiang, you keep saying that you are my biological father, but you know better than anyone that the daughter of a concubine like me is nothing to you.

"You raised me because you thought Lu Shian liked me and I was useful. If I'm not useful to you, you'll kill me!"

Ye Baijiang's thoughts were ruthlessly exposed by her. He simply stopped arguing and glared at her with gritted teeth, "There must be a reason. You were obviously very well-behaved before and never dared to disobey me like this."

Xia Younan snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain, "I just figured out some things. I don't want to be your puppet anymore."

Ye Baijiang closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were filled with ruthless murderous intent. He punched the desk in a rage, and his scarlet eyes stared at her indifferent face.

"So you came here today to question me? Why, you want to report me? Do you have evidence? Even if you do, don't forget that I am the emperor's uncle and the empress dowager's brother. You can't do anything to me!"

Xia Younan's eyes were still as calm as a lake of clear water, and she didn't take what he said to heart at all.

"Oh, what the Prime Minister said is true, but don't forget that since ancient times, the monarch and the ministers have been complementary to each other. There are some things that the royal family may not have the final say unilaterally!"

"What do you mean?!" Ye Baijiang's face looked a little ugly.

For some reason, he had a bad feeling in his heart. The woman in front of him was like a completely unfamiliar venomous scorpion woman.

Xia Younan was too lazy to talk to him anymore and decided to seize the time to achieve his goal.

"I came here today to tell the Prime Minister that from today on, we are no longer related as father and daughter! Also, Lu Xiuyuan is mine. If you dare to touch him again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

"Are you here to declare war on me?" Ye Baijiang's eyes widened, wishing he could bite his teeth to pieces.

He was really capable, actually giving birth to such a rebellious and unfilial daughter. If he had known this earlier, he should have strangled her to death when she was just born!
