Upon seeing the Marquis, Granny Cai showed no hint of fear. She promptly crawled towards him. Grasping at Master Wang's robe, she wailed, "Save me, Marquis. Plead for mercy on my behalf, Marquis. I am truly remorseful, really remorseful!"
Le Yuanhou kicked her away in a fit of rage, growling, "What did you just say?!"
Granny Cai seemed to have lost her mind, anxiously explaining, "Lady Hou's child, the child Lady Hou left behind, it's not her, it's not her. She's the daughter of the Wang family, the daughter of Lady Wang! Lady Hou's child, I strangled her. But I am innocent, it was the Wang family who forced me to do it. They are to blame, they are the ones to blame!"
Le Yuanhou almost stumbled and fell. His face turned deathly pale. His heart was in turmoil, bombarded with so many emotions, he nearly fainted. He gritted his teeth before barely managing to ask, "Then… my daughter? Is she dead?"
