Chapter 988

Upon hearing Chen Ang's words, Wan Shitong quickly stepped forward and grabbed her arm.

Seeing his actions, the fake Seeing Qing Mei's expression shifted, and she quickly dodged to the side.

Seeing her dodge, Wan Shitong hurried to give chase.

The two of them chased and dodged for a long time, yet they still couldn't get a clear look at the person's true face.

An Xinyi grew impatient and stepped forward to help.

With the two of them surrounding and intercepting her, she was finally cornered.

Looking at the two of them, she still used her sleeve to block her face, gritting her teeth as she said, "Get lost! This is a matter between me and the Butterfly Clan; it has nothing to do with you humans!"

1278 Can you not treat everyone equally?

Looking at her, Wan Shitong said viciously, "You dare to impersonate our Human Sect Master's wife, and you dare to say it has nothing to do with us humans?"

"Seeing Qing Mei and Chen Ang are not yet married!"

"So what? She is our Sect Master's wife regardless!"

Charging forward, Wan Shitong grabbed her hand and pressed it down hard.

Seeing this, An Xinyi grabbed her hair and yanked her head up.

The moment they saw this face clearly, Yang Qingcheng blurted out a name.

"Lvteng?!"

Hearing her, Qingshan also furrowed his brows.

"Madam, you know her?"

"How could I not? She served Seeing Qing Mei for many years, but was eventually driven away for having sticky fingers. Have you forgotten?"

Qingshan frowned as he tried to recall, and seemed to have some impression.

Stepping forward quickly, Yang Qingcheng stared intently at Lvteng.

"Lvteng, why did you impersonate Seeing Qing Mei?"

Hearing this, Lvteng's expression turned hideous.

"Why did I impersonate her? Don't you know? You promised to find me a good husband, but before I was even of age to marry, you drove me out! This is what you Butterfly Clan owe me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Qingcheng's expression turned extremely ugly.

"I did promise to find you a good husband, but that was on the condition that you serve my daughter well! And you? Not only were you unfaithful to her, you even frequently stole my things and framed her for it, treating her belongings as your own and disposing of them at will, completely lacking the demeanor of a maid. If you hadn't had sticky fingers, would I have driven you out?!"

"That is what you owe me! Seeing Qing Mei and I grew up together by your side; why did she get to eat and use better things than me? I don't accept it!"

Hearing this, Chen Ang and the others all frowned.

She was just a maid; what right did she have to compare herself to a young lady like Seeing Qing Mei?

Everyone thought this, but Qingshan was the one who said it out loud.

Lvteng sneered at his words.

"Seeing Qing Mei and I both grew up by your side; what difference was there to you? Just because she was born to you, she gets to be the young lady, and I have to be the maid? We grew up together, so why couldn't you treat us equally? How could you trample on me like this!"

Hearing her frantic shouting, only one thought remained in everyone's mind.

This person is insane...

To actually compare herself, a servant, to a young lady—she must be crazy...

Yang Qingcheng realized this as well and swallowed back all her words.

"Husband, have someone take her away."

Glancing at her indifferently, Qingshan gestured to his men.

Seeing this, the Butterfly Clan members hurried forward and dragged her away.

As she was being dragged forward, Lvteng still refused to give up, shouting, "I have been your daughter for these past few days; weren't you satisfied with how I treated you? You only have one daughter; what would it matter if there were one more? Do you really have the heart to kill me?"

Hearing her insane words, Yang Qingcheng furrowed her brows tightly.

"How could she have the nerve to say such things?"

"Who knows? She must really be crazy. We actually treated her as our daughter for a few days; thinking about it now, it's truly disgusting."

After Qingshan finished speaking, Yang Qingcheng nodded in agreement.

"If she hadn't followed Seeing Qing Mei for so many years and learned all her habits, we wouldn't have failed to recognize her. But for her to be so calculating, it is indeed disgusting. If Chen Ang hadn't come this time, things would not be as they are now..."

Looking at Chen Ang, Yang Qingcheng sincerely offered her thanks.

Hearing her thanks, Chen Ang waved his hand indifferently.

"It was just a small effort; you don't need to take it to heart."

"Chen Ang, I shouldn't have doubted the feelings between you and Seeing Qing Mei. I will never be so muddled again."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qingshan said from the side, "I tried to warn you, but you wouldn't listen. Now you know you were muddled, don't you?"

As soon as he finished, Yang Qingcheng rolled her eyes at him.

"Stop with the hindsight. Didn't you believe it too at the time?"

"I was just humoring you."

"Stop lying. You even brought out your prized fine wine; how dare you say you didn't believe it?"

Bringing up this point, Qingshan looked at Chen Ang.

"Chen Ang, I have two jars of prized fine wine, just opened, not yet tasted by that fraud. Would you like to try some?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Qingcheng slapped his arm.

"Chen Ang just arrived and helped you clean up this mess; he hasn't even had a chance to catch his breath. What drinking? Let him rest first; we'll talk after he's rested."

"Right, right, right. You all rest first; we'll talk after you've rested. My wine can wait another two days; there's no rush."

Amused by his words, Chen Ang smiled and said, "If it's not too much trouble for you, Uncle and Aunt, let's have a small drink tonight."

"Fine! Then tonight it is! You all go get some rest; we'll go prepare. I guarantee it will be all your favorites!"

Without standing on ceremony, Chen Ang led the others to rest.

Lying on the soft beds, everyone let out long sighs of relief.

They had traveled in a rush, originally intending to rest upon arrival, but they had encountered a fake Seeing Qing Mei instead. Between the anger and the urgency, it had truly drained a lot of their energy.

Now that they could finally lie down comfortably, sleepiness washed over them instantly, and they couldn't keep their eyes open.

The others were the same, and so was Chen Ang.

Without resisting the pull of sleep, he drifted off into a dream.

It wasn't until nightfall, when footsteps kept coming from outside, that he was awakened.

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, his eyes were filled with vigilance until he sensed familiar auras, at which point he relaxed.

Knowing where he was, he scratched his head with a smile, threw on an outer robe, and pushed open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Qingshan looked over eagerly.

"Chen Ang, you're awake?!"

"Yes, sorry to have kept you waiting, Uncle."

"Not long at all. Come, come, come, taste how this prized wine of mine is."

Seeing his eager expression, Chen Ang hurried to follow.

Taking a sip under his expectant gaze, a look of satisfaction appeared on Chen Ang's face.

"How is it?"

"Not bad. It lives up to being Uncle's prized collection; it truly is fine wine!"

Finally hearing these words, Qingshan grinned from ear to ear.

"If you like it, drink more. I have two whole jars; there's plenty."

Seeing him pour more for Chen Ang, Seeing Qing Mei pouted and blocked him.

"Dad, he just woke up; he hasn't eaten a thing yet."

"Seeing Qing Mei, I'm fine."

"How are you fine? If your stomach gets upset, you won't be fine! No more drinking; eat something to line your stomach first, then drink!"

Since Seeing Qing Mei had spoken, Chen Ang dared not argue, and Qingshan dared not say much more. Chen Ang had no choice but to pick up his chopsticks and taste the delicacies on the table.

Qingshan sat to the side, watching eagerly until Chen Ang finished his rice, at which point he finally turned his gaze to his daughter.
