    Chapter 664: Who Dares to Bully Their Daughter!

    While Su Youyue had the shadow guards monitor Xie Yuan’s side, she was surprised by two unexpected visitors.

    "Sweetie!"

    At the sound of this voice, Su Youyue, who was writing a letter to her family in Dasheng, paused her brush, and a blot of ink spread on the rice paper.

    When she looked up, she saw both her parents standing before her. The familiar look made Su Youyue’s eyes instantly well up.

    "Dad, Mom! Why are you here?"

    She dropped the letter she was writing.

    With her parents right in front of her, what was the point of writing a letter?

    Su Zhenyun and Lu Xixue, overjoyed, rushed to embrace their daughter. They were terrified when they learned that their daughter had fallen into the river and gone missing. So, as soon as they found out her whereabouts, they decided to come find her.

    "How could I let you suffer alone in Dongrong? Although I don’t have any extraordinary martial arts skills, I still have some connections here. Let’s see who dares to mess with my daughter, Divine Physician Ji! They must be tired of living!"

    In the past, Lu Xixue didn’t like being called Divine Physician Ji, but now it was different. She wanted to use this title to teach those bullies a lesson.

    Su Zhenyun watched the mother and daughter hug with a goofy grin. He wanted to come find his daughter, but the main reason was still Xi Xue. Wherever Xi Xue went, he would follow.

    So, they came without telling the old lady...

    After all, Su Rong was growing up at home and could handle both business and household matters. Even if not, the old lady would keep an eye on her, so nothing would go wrong.

    Su Youyue was on the verge of tears, but Lu Xixue’s gaze suddenly landed on her belly, and she blurted out, "Oh my gosh! Nuan Nuan, are you pregnant?!"

    For some reason, hearing her mother say something she didn’t understand, Su Youyue suddenly felt a sense of amusement and couldn’t cry anymore. She nodded, "It was too rushed, so I didn’t mention it in the letter."

    Su Zhenyun looked at his daughter’s belly and also teared up, "I’m going to be a grandpa..."

    Lu Xixue suddenly clenched her fist, "Nuan Nuan is still pregnant, and that Xie Yuan guy has her running around again. Where is he? I’ll give him a piece of my mind!"

    "..."

    Qingluo, standing nearby, didn’t quite get it, but she suddenly felt a chill down her back.

    Jin'er quickly told her who they were, and she suddenly realized why these two were so close to her lady. They were her biological parents.

    Seeing her parents travel thousands of miles to find her, and thinking about how the Shen family had treated their own daughter, Qingluo felt a pang of sadness and liked the newcomers even more.

    Now that’s what you call family!

    Just as she was thinking this, the Shen family actually arrived.

    She turned and saw the attendant with Master Shen, Madam Fang, Shen Yuanfeng, and Shen Zhuyu, communicating about something.

    So Qingluo quickly said, "Miss, the Shen family’s here."

    "The Shen family? Which Shen family?" Lu Xixue suddenly switched to Dongrong effortlessly, leaving Qingluo stunned.

    Does my lady’s mom speak Dongrong too?

    Although Jin'er didn’t know if her lady had specifically mentioned the situation here in her letter, she wanted to spill the beans and immediately leaned over to Lu Xixue, telling her how they’d entered the Shen family as Miss Shen, especially how they’d bullied her lady.

    Of course, she left out how her lady got back at them.

    To Lu Xixue, it seemed the Shen family was utterly wicked and deserved the worst, while Su Youyue was the poor girl who endured their bullying daily.

    "How dare they bully Nuan Nuan! This is outrageous!"

    Lu Xixue was furious.

    Although she had always been in Dongrong and was quite famous there, she never discriminated based on her patients' status when treating them. Sometimes she treated royal nobles, and other times she treated rural farmers. Therefore, there were many people she hadn’t met, and she had no impression of the Shen family before. The Shen family had also never seen the legendary Divine Physician Ji in person.

    Jin'er nodded emphatically: "Exactly, my lady! Even Qingluo and I were whipped by them. I almost didn’t get to see you again, wuwuwu..."

    The veins on Lu Xixue’s fists stood out.

    Su Zhenyun was also extremely angry. His daughter, whom he had doted on since she was a child, was treated so poorly. As for Jin'er, she had grown up under his watch, and because she was his daughter's personal maid, he had long regarded her as his own junior. Knowing that they had suffered such mistreatment here, he wished he could immediately take the Shen family to court and impeach them.

    He even forgot this was Dongrong, not Dasheng, and he had no way to impeach anyone in their court.

    Su Youyue, who had just reunited with her parents, only wanted to talk with them and had no desire to see the Shen family, so she prepared to have them driven away.

    But the Shen family seemed in a hurry, and Master Shen had already barged in.

    As soon as he entered, he looked at Su Youyue and called out affectionately, "Nannan!"

    The pronunciation of "Nan" in Dongrong and "Nuan" in Dasheng were quite similar, so his call sounded like he was calling "Nuan Nuan," which made Su Zhenyun and Lu Xixue frown.

    Master Shen quickly walked over, his face no longer carrying the paternal air he once had with Su Youyue. Instead, he was filled with restless anxiety, though his tone was particularly earnest: "Nannan, your father and I have reflected deeply these past few days. We admit we were too harsh on you before. We now know you are not our daughter, but we truly treated you as our own. Regardless, Nannan herself is a member of the Shen family. If she were still alive, she would never want to see the Shen family come to this. Could you, for her sake, give our family a chance?"

    Madam Fang also dropped her former harshness, her eyes now gentle: "Yes, young lady, Nannan herself is your benefactor. Even if she resented our family, she would never want to see the Shen family fall into ruin... If you know Yuansong's whereabouts, please tell us. Yuanzhen cries every day at home, asking for his brother. Yesterday, he cried until he fainted, and today he has a fever. That's why I couldn't bring him... Although we haven't treated you well before, Yuanzhen truly sees you as his sister. How could you bear to see him become a criminal slave, living in misery?"

    Shen Yuanfeng, however, remained silent this time, standing quietly beside Shen Zhuyu.

    After several failed confrontations, he no longer dared to speak carelessly in front of Su Youyue.

    He had fully realized that he was no match for this woman. While he still couldn't see through her, she had already seen through him completely.

    Now, the Shen family was utterly defeated before her, reduced to playing the emotional card with Yuanyang and Yuanzhen, whom they had once opposed.

    What a complete failure...
