Lady An, driven by deep maternal instinct, immediately blocked Chu Ping's path.
She loudly questioned, "What on earth is happening, husband, say something!"
Duke Ping's expression was grave.
He originally did not want to air such family disgrace.
But now, with things as they are, he could only lower his head and say in a deep, mournful voice, "Madam, the Marquis is not wrong, An Shiyu, killed our Bingchang."
An Bingchang was the personal name of Young Master An.
Upon hearing Duke Ping's admission, Lady An seemed to lose her voice instantly.
She widened her eyes, her face full of incredulous shock.
In that moment, fear, astonishment, and disappointment flooded this mother's heart.
"No, it can't be true... how could Shiyu have killed Chang'er?"
She turned her head, looking at An Shiyu, murmuring, "Chang'er is your own brother..."
Duke Ping said weakly, "It's true, the evidence is indisputable; once you see the files, you'll understand."
