  Mu Sihan, who was sitting on the main seat, looked handsome with his cold expression, his eyes slightly narrowed with a hint of cold arrogance.

  The moment he finished speaking, a loud commotion broke out in the meeting room.

  Apart from Nan Zhi, everyone else were in massive disbelief.

  Especially Madam Ye.

  She had never thought that Mu Sihan came to cut their ties off as mother and son!

  Was he crazy?

  Even if their relationship was bad, she was still his biological mother. Wasn’t he afraid of being talked about if he cut off their ties?

  Was there any King who dared to not want their biological mothers after they acceded to the throne? Even if they didn’t like their mothers, they still had to act their part!

  However, he actually said those ruthless words in front of the Queen and the rest of the family!

  “Ye Sihan, I think you were bewitched by Nan Zhi and An Feng, haven’t you?” Madam Ye stood up from the leather chair in agitation. She glared at the expressionless Mu Sihan coldly, her voice furious. “An Feng has done such a humiliating thing that embarrassed the Royal family and you, instead of cutting ties from them, you want to cut ties with me? What face and dignity are you showing that is befitting of the Royal family? A person like you cannot become the country’s leader!”


  After hearing Mu Sihan’s words, the Queen kept furrowing her eyebrows. “Sihan, the news in the past few days is still a hot topic in the country. If news spreads that you cut ties with your biological mother for An Feng and Nan Zhi, not only would it make you lose the hearts of the people, it will also affect your position in the international political scene.

  “Your image represents our Royal family and country. I thought that you had matured a lot after becoming a King. However, you’ve disappointed me greatly today!”


  Hearing the Queen’s words, happiness surged in Madam Ye’s heart.

  If the Queen was disappointed with Ye Sihan, then there was a chance of working with the other Royal family members to pull Mu Sihan down!

  Facing the people’s comments, Mu Sihan’s expression didn’t change, still as calm as ever though his eyes remained cold calm. He lifted a hand, passing a thumb drive to the secretary behind him.

  “The truth about my mother-in-law’s incident is in this video. Everyone will understand why I want to cut ties with Madam Ye after watching this.”


  Although she was his biological mother, he had never called her ‘Mother’.

  Madam Ye watched as the secretary inserted the thumb drive into the notebook, a layer of cold sweat covering her back unconsciously.

  Did Ye Sihan find something out? At the thought of her secret guard, the bad feeling in Madam Ye’s heart grew even more.

  The secretary opened the video in the thumb drive, and a secret guard locked by metal chains immediately appeared on the big screen.

  Madam Ye’s eyes constricted immediately.

  The secret guard had her head down, as she choked out hoarsely, “I was instructed by Madam Ye to assassinate An Feng at the hospital. The incident of An Feng and the college student burning charcoal and attempting suicide was also orchestrated by Madam Ye.

  “After An Feng came back from the town, Madam Ye assigned me to observe An Feng secretly. When An Feng went to the Capital’s Paternity Testing Center to take the results of the test she did, a middle-aged woman bumped into An Feng. An Feng dropped her bag then, and the middle-aged woman used the chance to place a miniature listening device into An Feng’s bag.

  “Through the device, Madam Ye found out that An Feng had requested for another test in the neighboring city and had asked a college student named Ah Hua to do for her. Madam Ye checked Ah Hua’s background and found that he had a younger brother that he loved a lot. Madam Ye took Ah Hua’s younger brother and used him to threaten Ah Hua, forcing him to write a suicide letter and burn charcoal to kill An Feng as well.”


  Mu Sihan gestured for the secretary to turn off the video.

  The meeting room remained silent for a while, as everyone stared at Madam Ye in disbelief and horror.

  Madam Ye said shrilled, “No, it’s not like that! Ye Sihan, you must have forced my secret guard to say that against me!”


  Nan Zhi, who had yet to speak, hissed angrily, “Madam Ye, do you want to see the video of your secret guard dressed as a cleaner and going into my Mom’s ward to assassinate her? Also, as for Ah Hua’s younger brother, Sihan found him already!”


  Ye Fengjun, who was beside Madam Ye, glanced at her in confusion. “Why did you have to do that? What has An Feng doing a Paternity test got to do with you? You actually wanted to silence her as well?”


  “I…… didn’t want Nan Zhi to marry into the Royal family. She doesn’t deserve the King!” Madam Ye glanced at the Queen with red eyes. “An Feng didn’t educate her daughter well and even wants her to become a phoenix! People like her should die! No matter what I’ve done, my intention was for the good of the Royal family! Nan Zhi’s background is pathetic, and even being the King’s mistress is too much for her!”


  Duke De An nodded in agreement. “Even if An Feng was accused, the scandal had been spread amongst the people. Nan Zhi doesn’t have a good family background as well, so indeed, she’s not suitable to marry into the Royal family.”


  “However, the King has very strong affection for her. If she doesn’t care about the name, we wouldn’t say anything if the King has her as his mistress. However, the King must find a Princess Consort that is befitting of the Royal family!”


  Mu Sihan smirked coldly. “Background? Who said that she doesn’t have one?”


  Duke De An furrowed his eyebrows. “Is the King talking about the Qiao family? Even though it is proven that the Qiao family is innocent now, they had already fallen from grace……”


  Mu Sihan interrupted Duke De An’s words coldly. “Then what about the Helian family?”


  The moment Mu Sihan said it, Madam Ye’s expression changed immediately.

  Did they already find out about Nan Zhi and Helian Xiao’s relationship? Then what about Helian Xiao? Did he also already realize out that Nan Zhi was his daughter?

  Madam Ye clenched her fists, her palms covered in clammy sweat.

  When Duke De An heard ‘Helian family’, a smile appeared on his face. “The Helian family was originally our first choice for your marriage.” Duke De An said immediately, as if he didn’t see Nan Zhi beside Mu Sihan, “Did Your Majesty already accept marrying someone from the Helian family?”


  Mu Sihan smirked, his smile full of purpose. “Of course, the only one I will marry is the Helian family’s daughter.”


  Both the Queen and Duke De An froze, not expecting for his attitude to change so quickly. He was still talking about Nan Zhi and his marriage, but now he was talking about only marrying the Helian family’s daughter!

  The only daughter the Helian family had that was suitable with Mu Sihan was Helian Zhu, so everyone thought that Mu Sihan was talking about Helian Zhu.

  However, Mu Sihan’s next words changed everyone’s expressions.

  “The Helian family’s daughter is the one beside me.”


  What?

  What?!

  The Helian family’s daughter is the one beside the King? Nan Zhi?

  How was that possible?

  The Queen was the first to regain her senses, as her expression darkened slightly. “King, this is a serious place where you cannot make jokes. Did you receive a blow because of An Feng’s incident?”


  “That’s right. The Helian family only has one Young Lady, and that is Helian Zhu. How can Nan Zhi be the Helian family’s Young Lady?”


  “Your Majesty, we all know that you want to marry Nan Zhi and want her to have a background that is befitting of you. However, do you think we’re all fools for believing this?”


  Ye Fengjun, who had yet to speak, glanced at Madam Ye, then at Mu Sihan. In an instant, he immediately understood what had happened.
