"Why do I treat you like this? Because you are stupid!" Mrs. Xu laughed angrily, pointed at Lu Zhichuan, and said coldly, "As soon as the prince is in trouble, you are not going to do anything for me or the prince." Go ahead, you are digging your own grave! Do you think that if you don't care about anything now, you will be able to live in Dali and sit on the throne in the future? If this person is not your biological brother, how can you deal with yourself? Isn’t it enough that you are a slave to others?”
"That's better than making wedding clothes for others!" Lu Zhichuan's voice was too high, and he stared at Mrs. Xu with tears in his eyes, "Mother, since childhood, you have devoted all your efforts to cultivating the fourth child! But I I am the eldest son of you and my father! Why can’t you ever see me?”
"Ever since we were little, everyone has known that the fourth child will definitely become the crown prince! Everyone knows that you love the fourth child the most! Queen Mother, I have always wanted to ask you, what is wrong with me? How can I be so looked down upon by you, Queen Mother? ?! Mother, am I the one who can’t stand up to the wall? Even if I am the one who can’t help you, why don’t you give me a try?”
"Empress, take a good look at my face!" Lu Zhichuan put his face in front of Mrs. Xu. He pointed at his face and gritted his teeth and said, "Empress! Take a good look at my face. My face is all thanks to you! Even if you despise me so much, even if in your heart I am not as good as the fourth child, I was the one who sacrificed his life to save my mother!"
"I thought my mother would change her view of me because of this! She would favor me, but what happened next? My face was ruined, and my mother would look down on me even more! Mother, do you know that you stepped on me all your life? This face pushed the fourth child to the position of prince!"
"Having such a younger brother who is a prince, mother, you know what kind of life I live. You keep telling me to stay on my own terms and not be resentful. If the prince treats me at times, close or far away, even my father will grant me a title. I have given you the word "respect" for the prince, so I must always be respectful! Mother, what kind of life have I been living? Mother, don't forget that I am the eldest son! "
"Mother, now at this time, you actually remember that I am such a son, but you want me to work for the prince, and you don't even care about the meager father-son affection that my father has for me. What are you doing? Forcing me to jump into the fire pit!" Tears burst out of his eyes and slid down his face along the scars. Lu Zhichuan closed his eyes in despair, "Mother, how could you do this to me?"
Mrs. Xu felt so sad in her heart, but her face was still as cold as ice. She said to Lu Zhichuan in a cold voice: "How did I treat you? If I hadn't suppressed you at the beginning, the prince would have dealt with you long ago. The prince took you as a Brothers, be tolerant to each other. Now that the prince is in trouble, who can you expect if you, the elder brother, don’t help? It’s a common saying that everyone will gain and lose, and you are not a fool. How can you not understand such a simple truth? "
"I know that I am useless and cannot bear the trust of my mother and the prince, so I ask my mother to hire someone else." Lu Zhichuan wiped away the tears on his face, said no more, bowed and retreated. .
