Chapter 1339 “Aiming at Di Ling Yan? (8)”
Smirking in her lips, the horrible mother that she was explains her reasoning: “We are all able to see these things. The little princess is the king’s treasure. If because of the queen’s failure and the princess goes missing or dies, what do you think will happen? Obviously the favor will be moved and the queen punished. By then you can just slip into that crack between them and become the royal consort.”
As much as she would like to agree with that opinion, Mu Xue’s head couldn’t help but recall back to Di Cang’s words from earlier. My wife is my life, and my wife’s life is her children! Will that man really demote the queen because of the little princess?
“Is this really feasible Mother?” she carefully mutters this to the other woman’s ear, “But what if the king loves the queen more than the princess, what if…”
But Yu Yao didn’t even doubt herself and cuts the girl off: “Men love their children the most, that’s a fact. Just look at your own father. Before we had your older sister, your father treated me as his precious jewel. Then look what happened, he’s never cared about my feelings since then.”That’s right, the true and main reason she dislikes Mu Ying so much was apparently because of the love she lost from her own husband. Even if the supposed girl was her own daughter, this wretched woman doesn’t care. It’s also one of the main reasons she doted Mu Xue the younger daughter as such, her own husband doesn’t like the girl so she does it to spite the man.
“Really?” Mu Xue asks with pursed lips.
Maybe I can give it a try… even if the king doesn’t blame the queen, I can at least hope to snatch a part of his love due to this?
A wisp of hope once again flickers within this leopard girl’s eye, causing her lips to curve upwards into a smile: “Mother, I know what I need to do now. The glory and pride of our tribe will be on my shoulders now. When Father finds out, I will let him know I am the one he should be proud of, not that Mu Ying. After all, she’s only a maid and I will be a royal consort!”
Gently caressing her own daughter’s hair, Yu Yao’s tone softens up: “You will always be Mother’s pride, and that Mu Ying can never compare with you. She doesn’t deserve what you are entitled to!”
The remark instantly raises Mu Xue’s heart and causes her chin to cock upwards. That’s right, I am destined to be at the top. Anyone who gets in my way will be trampled under my feet, just you all wait!
……Meanwhile at the same time back over in the city gates, First Elder was growing increasingly more anxious as he gazed upwards at the continuing battle between Di Cang and the Keepers.
The elder wanted to help, but as someone much weaker than his king, he would only be a baggage if he intervenes in this situation.
