Wu Chufeng's words plunged Wu Daniu into deep thought.
He looked at Xiao Mumu, and with just a glance, she immediately understood what he meant.
"Grandfather, don't! Don't hand Zhixiao over! He's the father of my child. Are you really going to let my child grow up without a father?"
Wu Daniu's gaze was as cold as ice. He stared at Xiao Mumu, his tone laced with an unquestionable authority:
"Mumu, you are with child, and that is the Wu Family's bloodline. I will not mistreat you. But Li Zhixiao must be dealt with. He's involved in the imperial examination scandal—a crime punishable by death! I cannot allow the Wu Family to be dragged into utter ruin because of him!"
Hearing this, Xiao Mumu's face turned deathly pale, and tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string.
