Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

"You …!" Liu Hua couldn't control herself from yelling out loud at the guard. She was already distressful for the stinging pain she was feeling both on the surface and in her heart, and on the top of it, the mention of Li Xue's name was doing no good to her.

"Sorry, Ms. Liu, but our guards are trained to not hear even a word against the royal family. So they weren't able to control their hands when you said things against our young princess." Old Butler Cao said with a gentle smile on his features and that gentle smile was nothing but a mock for the woman to understand.

Liu Hua understood the meaning as well. "You guys are deliberately making it tough for me. What made you think that wi*c… I mean Li Xue is your young princess. She is my daughter and I could do anything I want with her. Who is the royal family to interrupt?" She brazenly asked, almost making Shin Tinming's fist curl in anger.

Then turning to look at the king, she scoffed, "You desired to have a daughter. But I never thought that you would be this desperate to snatch someone else's daughter to name her as yours. Did you forget Shin Tinming, I have aborted your child long before when you asked me. Li Xue is not your blood. So, you better not call her as yours."

She lied, being confident that never ever she would be getting caught but little did she expect that the very next moment the DNA result would come flying her way, proving her words as a lie.

"Dare to say that again!" Shin Tinming warned and the woman flinched at his tone. That was threatening enough to make her quiver in fear.

Liu Hua read the papers. Though everything written on it was not clear to her, her eyes have well caught the writing where it was all stated the probability of paternity was 99.9999997%.

"Wh-When did you get this done?" She asked in horror, realizing the fact she should have realized before.

Shin Tinming disinterestedly looked at her. "Does that matter?"

"I-I am stating the truth. Believe me. I would have aborted her before when you ask me. But an abortion would have been dangerous for my life. So I have to give birth to her. Believe me! Believe me, I never wanted to defy your orders. I never wanted to give birth to her. But I have to, in order to save my life. Believe me".

Getting all pale at the thought of defying the royal order, Liu Hua begged for the man's belief that never came her way. He remained there standing all stern and serious, without batting an eye to her beggings.

"Release me! If you want, I would go and kill her myself now. I would never let her tarnish your blood. Allow me." Already leaving the last edge of right thoughts and rationality, Liu Hua added more, almost forgetting the main reason she was brought in here.

She was brought and tortured here for harming Li Xue. If Shin Tinming really wanted the girl to be dead, why would he even care to punish the woman for her sake?

At this moment, Chen Rui couldn't help but come forward clapping her hands with some contempt. All this while she was purposely staying behind the darkness and letting her husband handle the things. But seeing the woman making fun of herself like this, she couldn't control herself from coming forward.

"Indeed you are shameless. The girl whose birth brought you to life, is it that easy for you to kill her?" the royal queen said, gazing at the woman with amusement. She couldn't believe any woman could be like her. It was really a shame that she was a mother in the first place. Women like her simply don't deserve the title of mother.

The appearance of the queen only enraged Liu Hua to her core. But she was not in the position to go against her, keeping her tone in check, she could only try to be polite. "She was just a mistake for me. And since I have given birth to her, it's up to me how I allow her to live. If I really allow her to live or just kill her straight away."

That was the bottom line for Chen Rui. She never had thought any woman would be so stupid that threaten the life of her own birthed child. But then again what was she expecting? This woman did not even care before drugging her own daughter. How could she even care for her life?

"I would have not interrupted you if you have truly ever been a mother to Xiao Xue. But that pitiful child never received your motherly love. Just bringing life to this earth is not something that allows a woman to be called a mother. The feeling of that title only comes after you sacrifice for your baby, which you have never done for Xiao Xue. So, morally, you have never been a mother to her. Don't pretend to be like one."

Chen Rui said and those words struck hard to Liu Hua. Not able to take her conscience any longer, she screamed, "You … Who are you to say that? Did you know who Li Xue really is? She is an illegitimate daughter of your husband with me. Illegitimate daughter! Do you get it?"

And the next moment, a harsh smack hit her face again. But this time, it wasn't from the guard. Chen Rui, herself, has stepped forward to do it. Shin Tinming was even taken aback. He has never seen his wife losing her composure like this. This was probably the first time and he would always remember that it was for Li Xue.

"You can't be more shameful than this. Dare to call my daughter with that abusive title and I will let you know what a real mother does actually for her child." She said before turning to look at her husband to say, "Tinming, I have had enough for her. This woman is hazardous insane for society. Send her to the place that suits her condition." She said and then without looking back left the place immediately.
