"So City Lord Song is actually this kind of person, how terrifying!"
"My goodness, Madam Song is so pitiful."
"City Lord Song is so vicious, how can such a person be our City Lord! That's right, he's not worthy!"
"Such a wicked person should go to hell!"
"Hell is too good for him!"
The surrounding citizens cursed and condemned him.
Especially those who were pregnant and some compassionate women.
They never imagined that their City Lord Song, the leader of the Western Regions, who loved his people and was kind to his wife, was all a facade.
Such a person was not worthy of being their City Lord!
Hearing Madam Song reveal everything about herself, Song Gang hated her to the core.
"You dead bitch, I can see you truly don't want to live!"
He swung his large saber, throwing it out.
Just as the tip of the saber was about to touch Madam Song,
Song Wuji pulled Madam Song back.
A force then struck, hitting Song Gang fiercely.
Song Gang, unable to evade, was struck by a palm.
He turned his gaze to Gu Qianying, who stood in front of Madam Song, and said coldly, "Miss Gu, City Lord Song disciplining his concubine is a family matter. It is inappropriate for an outsider like you to interfere!"
A strong killing intent ignited in Song Gang's eyes.
At the same time, he was not foolish. Seeing how powerful this Divine Doctor Gu was, he realized that possessing her would not be easy!
However... in his opinion, such a woman only made him more interested.
"Outsider? Didn't City Lord Song just say he wanted to marry me? How did I become an outsider?"
As she said this, Gu Qianying's words were laced with sarcasm.
"If Divine Doctor Gu is still willing, this City Lord is certainly willing."
"Is that so? You'll have to ask Young Master Song, your son."
Gu Qianying sneered and walked to Baili Su's side, helping Baili Jingxuan up with him.
At this moment, it was a family matter for the Song family, and she did not want to interfere, nor did she care.
Gu Qianying's words made Song Gang sense something was amiss.
He turned to Song Wuji and first said, "Wuji, Father has always doted on you the most. You were raised by my side since you were young. I know your habits and your preferences."
Song Gang feigned a benevolent fatherly demeanor.
He continued to look at Song Wuji and said, "Wuji, once when you had a high fever as a child, it was Father who took care of you day and night. It was Father who fed you medicine again and again, and it was Father who stayed by your side without leaving. It was Father who, seeing you unconscious for several days, invited Master Yideng to perform rituals and sought every possible way to save you."
"Wuji, have you forgotten all this?"
Song Gang spoke with such sincerity.
It even caused the onlookers outside to change their attitudes towards him.
"Although City Lord Song is a vicious person, he is good to his son. He shouldn't be a bad person, right?"
"Perhaps, what he did to Madam Song was because Madam Song wronged City Lord Song first? So...?"
"No way? But... for any man, he wouldn't want his wife to be defiled by others, so what you're saying... might be true?"
"Think about it, if City Lord Song were truly that kind of person, why would he only treat Madam Song this way? I think this Madam Song must have..." So...?"
The tide of public opinion began to turn.
Amidst the villagers' discussions, Song Wuji spoke with a cold voice, "Father, I remember everything from my childhood. I did have a fever, but wasn't your deliberate act the cause of my illness? Back then, Grandfather was still alive, and you wanted to make a good impression on him.
You deliberately disguised yourself as someone good to me and Mother, making Grandfather believe that the person he chose was the right one. It was precisely because of this that Grandfather felt at ease handing over his power to you, making you the new City Lord, and this has been the case for years!"
"After Grandfather died, you stopped pretending in your dealings with Mother. You acted as if you were good to me and my younger siblings, but you deliberately placed a sharp-tongued maid by my sister's side, instigating her to become spoiled, willful, and unlearned!"
Song Wuji's voice grew colder as he spoke.
"And my younger brother, Pan Yang, is even more so. You deliberately made him an unlearned playboy. Even when he caused trouble or made mistakes, you never punished him. It's not that you doted on him so much, but rather... only by cultivating him into such a character would this playboy, this superficial good-for-nothing, have no qualifications to covet your position!"
"These are your schemes!"
As he spoke.
Song Wuji looked at Song Gang with cold eyes, "As for me! Father, that time I had a fever as a child, when you fed me medicine, was it medicine to cure my illness, or a slow-acting poison? You know this better than I do!"
He glanced at the onlookers, then continued, "Initially, I didn't know I was poisoned. It wasn't until another time when Mother fell ill with an unspeakable disease. I couldn't bear to see Mother in so much pain, so I secretly went out to find a doctor for her. Unfortunately, no one could cure Mother's illness."
However, during this period, a doctor noticed my physical condition and took my pulse. He informed me that I had been carrying a slow-acting poison in my body for at least a decade."
"It was then that I realized, Father, you had already plotted against me!"
As these words were spoken.
The onlookers were shocked.
Those who had been about to accuse Madam Song blushed deeply.
They never imagined that Song Gang would be such a person.
As if struck by a blow, everyone's expression changed as they looked at Song Gang again.
"How detestable! What kind of father is this, how terrifying!"
"I've never seen such a vicious person before!"
At the same time, Gu Qianying, Baili Su, and Baili Jingxuan stood aside, watching the Song family. None of the three spoke.
Baili Su and his brother never expected Song Gang to be so ruthless.
They exchanged glances.
In contrast, their family relationships were harmonious, and they enjoyed family affection, joy, and happiness.
Baili Jingxuan clutched his chest and looked at Song Wuji. If not for the enmity of patricide, he thought he and Song Wuji could have become good friends.
Meanwhile, Baili Su's gaze remained fixed on Gu Qianying.
He also never imagined that Divine Doctor Gu was so formidable.
"Hahaha, as expected of my son, Song Gang. You've seen through everything I've done."
Song Gang did not deny it.
Madam Song, her body swaying precariously, pointed at Song Gang, "You despicable wretch, you... you will die a horrible death!"
"Hahaha..."
Song Gang laughed heartily, "I will die a horrible death, Song Zihua, but what about you! You are the old man's biological daughter. To protect the Song family, you made me change my surname to match yours, Song Zihua. What am I? Am I your appendage?"
And that old man, to make me sever ties with the Meng family and give up any thought of returning to my ancestral home, sent people to kill all 108 members of my Meng family, just so I would continue to be that old man's dog!"
A deep hatred flared in Song Gang's eyes, "Since that old man was so ruthless, I, Meng Gang, will see it through to the end!"
"Yes, that's right. I poisoned your son, and I raised your daughter and son as wastes. Not only that, but I also gave medicine to those who violated you, and made them deliberately defile you, making you very, very dirty, which is why you contracted a venereal disease!"
"Song Zihua, I hate you to death. But... who doesn't like power and wealth? Therefore, I, Meng Gang, am destined to hold the position of City Lord! Oh, and I also forgot to tell you, Song Zihua, do you know how your father, that old man, died?"
"Didn't he love fine weapons the most? So... I always sent him top-grade weapons, and those weapons were all coated with potent poison, again and again, until his death, he never knew how he died!"
"Oh, before he died, I visited him. I told him all my plans. He died of rage-induced poisoning, hahaha... At that time, seeing his state afterward, I felt so good, hahaha..."
As he spoke, the hatred in his eyes intensified.
"Song Zihua, do you know why you couldn't find your father's body later?"
Without waiting for a response, Song Gang continued, "He killed everyone in my Meng family, so I chopped his body into pieces and made them into meat buns, placing them in our Meng family ancestral hall as offerings, hahaha... Song Zihua, you never expected this, did you, hahaha..."
Having confessed everything from the past, Song Gang felt immensely relieved.
Upon hearing his words, Madam Song,
Tears streaming down her face, sat on the ground and pointed at Song Gang, "You... you vicious wretch... I will kill you, kill you!"
Madam Song rose and, like a madwoman, lunged at Song Gang...
