Chapter 1428: Could Not Hate Her
....Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Hou Dieyi, I’m not counting on you to provide much help to Feng’er, but I hope you won’t drag him down anymore in this critical moment. You should have a sense of whose words to believe and whose not to.
“Don’t be deceived by others to the point where you don’t even know who you are. If the Xia family is destroyed by you, I won’t let you off!”
“My lord, I didn’t.”
Madam Xia wanted to argue back and explain that she did not listen to anyone. She was simply too worried about her son.
Moreover, what did her son do? He broke into the prison and rescued the Third Prince—the man who had killed the Eldest Prince and the Empress Dowager! How could he save him?
She was afraid that the Xia family and her family would be implicated. What should she do?
“Good!”
Lord Xia would not argue with a woman. Arguing with a clueless woman would not only be ineffective, but it might also backfire.
“Remember this. Xia Junfeng caused this trouble. Don’t expect me to bear the consequences for him. He can die wherever he wants. And it’s not because he’s the son of the second wife; even if he were the eldest son of the first wife, he wouldn’t be welcomed back into my household after committing such a heinous crime!
“The Xia family will belong to Huafeng in the future! Xia Junfeng, that unfilial son, will have nothing to do with it!”
Yes, indeed. He would let Xia Junfeng establish his family and career on his own without relying on the Xia family for anything.
“My lord…”
Madam Xia’s face turned pale.
She knew what her husband meant, but she could not accept it. Was the son of the second wife not a legitimate son?
Her son was many times more capable than Xia Huafeng.
Why should her husband give the family inheritance to Xia Huafeng and not leave any for Xia Junfeng? They were both his sons!
“Junfeng is still young and insensible. When he grows up, he’ll know—”
“Shut up!”
Lord Xia really did not want to talk to this woman anymore.
Veins pulsed on his forehead. He had had enough of this woman all these years.
The Hou family was also a prominent, wealthy family. How could they have raised such a naive daughter? Even if she was naive, her son was already a grown-up who would go through adversity for a friend. Why didn’t she learn a little?
He would not have such a headache if she were a little more sensible.
Did she really not know that the Xia family would suffer if they did not draw a line with Xia Junfeng now?
“Guards, send Madam back to the Butterfly Courtyard. She’s not allowed to come out without my orders!” he instructed the servant outside.
“My lord!”
Tears streamed down Madam Xia’s face.
However, she had no choice. The servants outside the door had already entered. She could only leave.
“Father, don’t be angry with Mother. She’s just too worried about Second Brother.”
Xia Huafeng walked out from behind a folding screen. He tried to appease his father, feeling helpless.
With his status, he should have hated Madam Xia. After all, he was the eldest son of the first wife, and Madam Xia was his father’s second wife.
However, he could not hate Hou Dieyi, who was as naive as a fool.
