Shao Yunduan was taken aback by Tang Fanghua's decision to defend Lvying. While he couldn't help but feel a hint of admiration, it paled in comparison to his disgust for the servant's actions.
Qi, equally surprised, resolved to defer to his Fifth Brother and Sister-in-law's judgment, regardless of his own feelings.
However, Qiao Xuan's response caught everyone off guard.
With a sneer, she spoke calmly, "I'm protective by nature. My son is innocent and vulnerable, yet this wretch finds pleasure in tormenting him. Is she even human? Such innate cruelty cannot be tolerated. I demand her life! Miss Tang, will you stand against me for the sake of this vile creature?"
The room fell silent, everyone stunned by Qiao Xuan's declaration.
Lvying, paralyzed with fear, forgot to shed tears. Her swollen eyes bore into Qiao Xuan with a mixture of defiance and terror.
