But I’ve heard from the old man that Carly isn’t much involved in this matter, so he agreed to hand over the Princess. As for Mona, she has to face an international trial and pay the price for what she’s done by accepting punishment. "Did dad have anything to do with her?" Si Limo certainly knew who she meant by "dad," even though their relationship had always been strained, after all, he was still his father. "Even if he wanted to intervene, he couldn’t." Si Limo glanced at the time, "Let’s go back to the Qiao Family." "Xiaren, Limo, you’re back?" The old man was still there amusing himself with the birds, and upon seeing Qiao Xiaren and Si Limo return, he smiled slightly. "Grandpa." Qiao Xiaren stepped forward to support him and walked towards the tea room, "Is she still in the basement?" "Yes." Qiao old man hadn’t yet decided how to deal with An Yuqian. He initially planned to ask his son, but the son seemed to have completely forgotten about An Yuqian’s affairs, so he hadn’t taken any action yet. "Grandpa, let her go." "Let her go?" Qiao old man was somewhat surprised by Qiao Xiaren’s suggestion, then frowned, "How can this woman be set free so easily? She harmed you and Junzhen back then..." "Leaving her with nothing to rely on is her greatest punishment." Qiao Xiaren skillfully brewed a pot of tea, first poured a cup for Grandpa, and handed it over with both hands, "My mother wasted her entire life being blind to the ugliness of the Lan Family, letting her see it clearly is the greatest punishment for her." An Yuqian’s entire life was centered around the Lan Family, and Qiao Xiaren had sworn to destroy the most important thing to her mother and ensure An Yuqian would see firsthand how the people she cared about would turn around and hurt her. "It seems you’ve heard the news too." The old man nodded slightly with a smile, "The Lan Family can only turn to the Li Family for help now, watching them scramble around like headless flies somewhat eases my old grievances." Qiao Xiaren smiled faintly: "From today onwards, An Yuqian and the Lan Family have nothing to do with my mother anymore, let them tear each other apart." The grandfather and grandson exchanged a knowing smile, understanding each other’s intentions. An Yuqian truly didn’t expect that the Qiao Family would actually release her. After being trapped in the basement for almost half a month, seeing the sunlight again was practically euphoric, her first thought was that her husband had come to take her away. When she opened the door, it was Qiao Junzhen she saw. She instinctively shivered, a wave of fear rose in her heart. "Why... why is it you?" "It’s me." The heaviness in Qiao Junzhen’s eyes was intense, "Isn’t it surprising? You didn’t expect me to remember everything from back then, did you?" "What do you want to do?" The thing An Yuqian feared most was his recovered memory, hearing him say this she couldn’t help but raise her voice: "Don’t forget, it was your Qiao Family that forced me into this marriage back then, I’m the victim, your Qiao Family owes me, it’s your Qiao Family that owes me!" "Let’s set aside our grievances for now." Qiao Junzhen stared at her, "Why did you unleash your bitterness on the children? How could you treat Yi’an like that and how could you treat Xiaren? They are the flesh and blood you bore for ten months, no mother would treat her children like that!" Qiao Junzhen came to see her today solely seeking an answer, simply out of indignation for his two children.
