"For her, right? For this woman? Zhan Er! I've said, no matter who she is to you, as long as you want her, Dad will get her for you. Why... why do you have to suffer like this?"
Zhan Se felt a tightness in his heart as he looked towards Yan Zhan.
But Yan Zhan didn't look back at her. His brow creased ever so slightly before he slowly stood, with a dignified posture, walked over, and stood beside Emperor Quan.
"Father, those stories? They're your stories. They should have nothing to do with me. I truly wish I had never known!"
"You! You bastard." Yan Zhenrong's voice trembled with anger. After a pause, he took a deep breath, trying to salvage the situation, "Zhan Er, don't listen to Lord Quan the Fourth's nonsensical talk! What he said just now isn't true. Didn't Dad tell you that the Quan family forced your mother and me into a corner... otherwise, why would we have left you to suffer in the orphanage for so many years? Wasn't it all because the Quan family forced us?"
