“I 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?!”
Di Jingxuan smiled instead, “You don’t even know much yet, and you’re saying that I’m being mean to you? The Wu family, whom you have banished, the illegitimate child who isn’t pure blooded but managed to grow to such a height from being a nobody…
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?”
The look on Di Zhong’s family changed drastically.
The reason why he hated all these random women and refused to marry women who weren’t pure-blooded was because Di Zhong’s 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 wasn’t because of Di Zhong’s 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?
“I killed her because your mother is nothing but a lowly woman. Your father is from the royal family! He’s a nobleman! How could I allow him to marry such a woman?!” Di Zhong was so enraged that his voice started shaking.
“Do 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!”
“Oh? Since it’s mine and I’m now in Country Z, why don’t you pass it to the Wu family on my behalf? Just tell them that it’s a gift from me.”
Di Zhong initially thought that Jinqian was already bad enough, but he didn’t think that her father, Di Jingxuan, was even worse!
“How 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?!”
Di Jingxuan seemed to be in a good mood and was willing to continue chatting with Di Zhong.
“But… Didn’t you say that it’s 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. That’s what I want to do with it. Can’t I?”
“Of course not!” Di Zhong screamed.
“My 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!”
“My mother was your daughter-in-law as well! Why did you kill my mother?”
“I already told you that it’s because I don’t 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?!”
“Oh….”
“What does that even mean?”
Di Zhong felt a sharp iron taste inside his mouth.
Di Jingxuan and Di Jinqian were annoying people!
