Old Master Li strode in. Despite his age, he was hale and hearty. His shoulders and back were straight, and he still looked very distinguished.

When she saw him appear, Old Madam Yue's eyes flickered slightly, but she quickly suppressed it.

"Old Master Li!"

"Dad!"

"Grandfather."

Old Master Li walked to Shi Jin's side and looked at her lovingly. "Shi Jin, I'm sorry you suffered."

"No, Grandpa, don't say that." Shi Jin shook her head gently.

"You came at the right time. How are you going to explain this matter with Shi Jin?" Old Madam Yue had already recovered from drinking water and her voice was raised again.

When Old Master Li looked away from Shi Jin, he became serious. "Do you really want me to talk?"

Old Madam Yue was stunned by his gaze. For a moment, she did not dare to look him in the eye. She felt guilty.

Yue Feng said, "Old Master Li, please tell me how Shi Jin was carried out in the first place."

Old Master Li sighed. "Ask your mother yourself."

Yue Feng looked at Old Madam Yue in confusion. "Mom?"

Old Madam Yue's gaze was a little evasive. Her arrogant attitude had become vague.

She had indeed thought that no one knew what she had done, but with just a few words from Old Master Li, she understood that what she had done had not escaped Old Master Li's eyes.

"Mom, you tell me." Yue Feng's expression changed from mild to stern.

"How would I know?" Old Madam Yue was going to deny it to the end.

"Old Master Li, please tell me!" Yue Feng looked at Old Master Li again.

Old Master Li sighed and met the expectant eyes of the room.

He did not want to say anything about this, but if he kept hiding it, it would be more and more unfair to Shi Jin and would cause her to fall into more and more controversy.

He sighed and said, "Do you remember when Bai Jingxiu was pregnant with Shi Jin, she fell ill and took a lot of medicine?"

Bai Jingxiu was Madam Yue's name. She immediately said, "I remember."

"At that time, the doctor said that the medicine might not be good for the child's IQ development, but there was no choice. In order to treat the illness, she could only take the medicine. Old Madam Yue suspected that after Shi Jin was born, there was a problem with her intelligence and it would affect the Yue family's reputation, so she got someone to take Shi Jin out and throw her away. However, she did not want to leave any evidence for you to detect, so she carried another child, which was Yue Yu, back to replace her."

Old Master Li said it word by word. Shi Jin's emotions surged, but when she thought about how it was Old Madam Yue, it seemed easy to explain. Her eyes moved slightly, but she quickly calmed down.

Li Juekai and Gu Qingqing were also very surprised. They did not expect that Old Madam Yue would abandon her biological granddaughter over such a small matter!

Yue Feng looked at his mother in disbelief, unable to hide the hurt and disgust in his eyes. "Mom, how could you do this?"

Old Madam Yue knew that since Old Master Li dared to say it, he must have the evidence. It was useless for her to find excuses now.

She said righteously, "Why can't I do this? Back then, the doctor told you to abort the child in case there was a problem with it. It was you who refused to listen to me and insisted on keeping the child. The child's condition wasn't good from the moment it was born. If she's a fool in the future, what will happen to our Yue family's reputation? Yue Feng, you have to know what your identity is. You have a bright future and a promising future. If there's really a child with an IQ problem in the family, it won't just be as simple as dragging down your reputation! It will also occupy your time and consume your hard work. It might even affect many family relationships! I did that for your own good and for your small family!"

Anyone would find such a reason ridiculous, but Old Madam Yue felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

Yue Feng's voice was sharp. "That's my biological daughter! Since I let her come to this world, I'll take on the responsibility of taking care of her, no matter what she's like! Besides, no one would dare to assert that there's something wrong with her!"

"I only did it as a precaution! I did it for your own good!"

"You're not doing this for my own good. You're just trying to save face." Yue Feng hit the nail on the head.

Madam Yue sobbed softly and looked fiercely at Old Madam Yue. "I know you've never liked me and think that Yue Feng is too biased towards me, so you're obstructing me at every turn. Giving my daughter away is also a part of your dislike for me, right? You think that it doesn't matter where my daughter is sent, don't you? Do you know that I'm not the only one you hurt like this? Shi Jin was just an innocent baby at that time!"

Old Madam Yue was unmoved. In the face of her son and daughter-in-law's accusations, she insisted that she was doing the right thing.

As long as that possibility existed, she couldn't let it happen.

Yue Yu was originally accompanying Old Madam Yue, but when she saw the situation, she was so nervous that she did not know which side she should take.

Old Master Li said quietly, "You weren't doing it for anyone's benefit, old lady. What you did was murder."

As soon as she said this, Yue Feng and Madam Yue knew that Old Madam Yue did not just throw Shi Jin away. She wanted to kill Shi Jin in the cradle to avoid future trouble.

Yue Feng felt a chill run down his spine. Madam Yue needed Madam Lan's support to stabilize herself. Thinking of such a scene, the two of them shuddered.

Shi Jin bit the tip of her tongue. She felt the sting, but she was numb.

"Shi Jin, come back with Grandpa first." Old Master Li looked at Shi Jin with heartache.

Madam Yue wanted to keep Shi Jin. "Shi Jin."

Yue Feng knew that it was not wise to keep Shi Jin here at this moment. He stopped her.

Shi Jin followed Old Master Li out.

Li Juekai and Gu Qingqing immediately followed.

Yue Feng lifted a finger to the door. "You should leave, too."

The person he spoke to was Old Madam Yue.

Old Madam Yue stood up. The wrinkles on her face deepened, making her look like she had aged a dozen years.

"And don't come here again," Yue Feng added.

Old Madam Yue felt a deep chill. Her son was clearly going to fall out with her and never interact with her again.

Having come this far, Old Madam Yue was reluctant. It was not a situation she wanted to see.

However, when she thought back to the night when she threw Shi Jin out, she did not regret it. A family that wanted to climb up the ranks, a leader who wanted to control the overall situation, could not be soft-hearted and leave behind a scourge.

Besides, was Shi Jin very good now? She was rebellious and extreme. Old Madam Yue felt that what she did back then was really right.
