âI thought so highly of you. Even if your cousin brothers, Di Jingchen and Di Jingan, have been working by my side all these years, I never thought of passing the throne to them. I chose you instead. How could you be so ungrateful?!â
Di Jingxuan smiled instead, âYou donât even know much yet, and youâre saying that Iâm being mean to you? The Wu family, whom you have banished, the illegitimate child who isnât pure blooded but managed to grow to such a height from being a nobodyâ¦
It was all because of me. What do you think of that? I was the only one who sponsored the Wu family, so that they could grow their own empire and challenge you. Would you still think highly of me?â
The look on Di Zhongâs family changed drastically.
The reason why he hated all these random women and refused to marry women who werenât pure-blooded was because Di Zhongâs mother and maternal grandparents were from a noble family. However, his father had betrayed his own wife and ended up bearing a child with a random, lowly woman. He even brought that child home.
At one point, Di Zhong almost lost his throne.
If it wasnât because of Di Zhongâs maternal grandparents, who helped them get rid of that random woman and also his father, who cheated on his wife, the throne would have been passed on to that illegitimate child.
So, how could he allow his precious child to marry a wild woman like Sang Mo? Other than the looks and the skills to seduce men, what else did she have?
âI killed her because your mother is nothing but a lowly woman. Your father is from the royal family! Heâs a nobleman! How could I allow him to marry such a woman?!â Di Zhong was so enraged that his voice started shaking.
âDo you know how important the royal bloodline is? How dare you help the Wu family? Are you mad?! The throne belongs to you! Ah Xuan, you are supposed to be on the throne!â
âOh? Since itâs mine and Iâm now in Country Z, why donât you pass it to the Wu family on my behalf? Just tell them that itâs a gift from me.â
Di Zhong initially thought that Jinqian was already bad enough, but he didnât think that her father, Di Jingxuan, was even worse!
âHow could you say that?! I fought hard to keep the throne from falling into the hands of the Wu family! How could you just push it away so easily?!â
Di Jingxuan seemed to be in a good mood and was willing to continue chatting with Di Zhong.
âBut⦠Didnât you say that itâs mine now? Since you already gave it to me, I can do whatever I want with it. I would like to give it to the Wu family. Thatâs what I want to do with it. Canât I?â
âOf course not!â Di Zhong screamed.
âMy mother and I were the ones who fought relentlessly with the Wu family to keep it safe! All these years, both the families have been going head-to-head with each other. How could you give my things to our enemies?! You are my grandson!â
âMy mother was your daughter-in-law as well! Why did you kill my mother?â
âI already told you that itâs because I donât approve of your mother! She was a lowly civilian! How could she be together with my noble son? If I allowed them to be married, how could I face my mother and her family?!â
âOhâ¦.â
âWhat does that even mean?â
Di Zhong felt a sharp iron taste inside his mouth.
Di Jingxuan and Di Jinqian were annoying people!
