Chapter 5 — She Wants Prosperity, I Want Freedom

Huo Chenggan smiled slightly.

“I can see, you and I are the same type of person.”

“Besides, with my status, I can also order the lady to get in the car.”

I didn't continue to struggle anymore and got on the carriage. As soon as we got into the carriage, we saw a painting spread out. In the painting is a concubine with a cold temperament. That concubine's appearance was five or six points similar to that of Hoac Thua Can sitting next to me. Huo Chengcan did not hesitate at all, picked up the painting, and once again looked at it attentively.

"This is my mother-in-law. When I was less than 7 years old, a fire took her life."

“At that time, he was only 25 years old.”

Although Tieu Quy Phi in the painting has a cold temperament, her eyes exude a tenacity, as if refusing to give in to fate. That temperament is a bit similar to mine.

"The Emperor's father was originally from a commoner background. Thanks to the help of the Queen's mother's family, he was able to raise troops and win this position."

"After becoming Emperor, he was forced to make his young wife Queen. But then he fell in love with my mother-in-law and welcomed her into the palace."

"You pamper your mother-in-law every day, making the Queen extremely jealous. Even my royal brother is extremely disrespectful to your mother-in-law, and at the same time doesn't like me at all."

He paused for a moment, carefully placing the painting in the cloth bag.

"At that time, my father loved his mother very much, and even said he wanted to make her Queen and make me Crown Prince."

"Those words were heard by the Queen's eyes and ears, making them hate me even more, even starting a fire directly, wanting to burn both me and the mother-in-law to death."

"My mother pushed me out of the palace, but I was hit by a falling beam and burned to death. But after my father investigated the fire, he only said it was an accidental fire."

“After my mother-in-law passed away, the Queen became even more annoying to me, plotting to harm me many times.”

Having said that, he lifted up his sleeve, the top was covered with scars of different sizes. Huo Chengcan still remained calm and continued to speak.

"Therefore, I must sit on the throne as Crown Prince. Only then can I compete with the Queen and my brother, and can continue to survive."

When he said this, his voice was filled with hatred and killing intent. When he took me to the hotel that Vuong Phi Anh had arranged for me, a trace of unwillingness showed in his eyes. At that moment, I immediately understood his purpose for inviting me to that party. He has his eyes on me. But I still didn't expose it, just pretended not to know, turned around and walked into the inn. Late at night, I don't sleep well. Because near the inn is the Lam family's palace. We heard the sound of galloping horses, along with the cries of Lam Tung and Lieu Huong Lan. The next morning, as soon as I stepped out of the inn to return to the Prime Minister's palace, I saw Lam Tung and Lieu Huong Lan preparing to look for me. At this time, there were many people passing by on the street. I didn't want to cause a ruckus that would cause everyone to watch, so I immediately turned around and was about to leave. But before I could go far, Lieu Huong Lan discovered my silhouette, immediately screamed and rushed forward, clutching my arm.

“You bastard, you harm me Your sister, where are you going to hide?

Lam Tung directly grabbed money and belongings from him and shouted loudly.

“You can't only have this much money, quickly give me all the money!”

I was extremely angry, immediately threw Lieu Huong Lan's hand away, then kicked her straight in the stomach. She was immediately kicked to the ground. Taking advantage of Lam Tung's distraction, I used my strength to push him, snatching back the stolen things.

"Lin Hoa's fate today is all because of you guys!"

"It was you who taught her to crave vain glory, dreaming day and night of marrying into the royal family."

“You always expected her to be better than me in every aspect, but now, all your expectations have gone up in smoke!”

Lieu Huong Lan was completely unable to accept this truth, her eyes were filled with anger, as if it could erupt at any time. And I still continued calmly.

"If you want to pay for silver, just sell your property or antiques. You can still collect more than 1,000 taels of silver."

As soon as Lam Tung heard it, he immediately slapped me in the face.

“You insolent bastard! Those assets are all mine, what right do you have to want to sell them?”
