"Remember, Shu-Ge, Seventh Prince, there is no use of being entangled with a Ger. They're disgusting. Do you want your baby coming out of his asshole? You might as well kill that baby…." 

"DON'T YOU DARE SLANDER HIM!" 

Huang Shu was at his limit, he was already so patient with this woman, but she kept testing Huang Shu's limit, tormenting him about everything, and to be frank, Huang SHu was never interested in her.

But this woman was so persistent, even though Huang Shu told her so many times that he had no interest.

Xi Yue didn't seem to be surprised when Huang Shu raised his voice. She just shrugged and said, "Well, what I said is still correct, right? They are disgusting. The Gers shouldn't exist at all."

"And Your opinion doesn't matter," Huang Shu replied.

He brushed Xi Yue's hands that were holding his arm. He didn't even care about gentleness to the opposite sex. 

"Ah! Shu-Ge is so mean…" Xi Yue pouted cutely, but Huang Shu just scoffed full of disgust. 

"Remember, Shu-Ge, you're the Seventh Prince. You have to accept your fate that you should marry someone in an equal position as yourself," Xi Yue said. "Which is me, of course," she added.

"Besides, why do you care so much for that Ger anyway? You must've been bewitched by him. You shouldn't visit him in the first place. It's just a disaster waiting to happen since you insisted on tailing him," Xi Yue shrugged lightly.

'Wait a minute…' Huang Shu suddenly got a hunch after Xi Yue said that. 'How did she know that I've been visiting Yunyu? And why did she mention bout this -disaster waiting to happen-?'



Huang Shu's heart went cold after he suddenly realized a very possible scenario of yesterday's disaster. He stared at Xi Yue, who seemed to have no burden in her eyes as if everything was just a game for her. 

'So she is the accomplice, the one who informed my mother about me secretly visiting Yunyu. She has full freedom to roam around in the Capital city with her servants, so it's very possible that she had been tailing me.'



Huang Shu clenched his fist, but he didn't want to act rashly right now. He knew it was stupid to confront both his mother and Xi Yue right now because Xi Yue had the backing of her grandfather, Prime Minister Xi, and his mother was a favored Imperial Concubine. 

Huang Shu kept staring at Xi Yue, which made her blushed, "S—Shu-Ge, why are you staring at me like that? Just tell me if you want to confess…."

Huang Shu took a deep breath and confessed, "You're an awful young lady, Xi Yue,"

**

Huang Shu left Xi Yue and went directly to the Palace of White Swan, his mother's palace. 

Huang Shu knew that Yunyu and he had the same suspicion. It was definitely his mother who did such a heartless act that killed Yunyu's father. 

But Huang Shu was still a human with a heart. As much as he hated his mother for hurting his beloved, killing his own birth mother was something he couldn't think of.

But when he entered the Palace of White Swan, he could faintly hear stones smashed with a hammer from afar. And when he entered the garden, he saw his mother was sitting in a chair holding a jewelry box. 

She threw some of her jewelry, and a guard wielding a hammer smashed it mercilessly until the gemstone or jade stone crushed into pieces.

Huang Shu observed the jewelry that his mother threw. After realizing what jewelry she threw, he instantly ran and did a jump kick to the big hammer that the guard was wielding.

"Argh!" The guard winced in pain because Seventh Prince had dislocated his wrist. 

"HOW ARE YOU CRUSHING THESE JEWELLERY!" Huang Shu yelled at the guard and the servants behind him. They were scared after seeing the Seventh Prince's fury. 

"Y—Your Highness… Imperial Concubine Ai is the one who asked us to destroy these jewelry…" one servant replied.

Huang Shu darted his eyes at his mother, who still sat on the chair and glanced at him nonchalantly. She took out another piece, a pearl necklace, and then threw it to the ground, "Crush this one also."

"MOTHER!"

Huang Shu snatched the pearl necklace on the ground and wiped it carefully, "Why are you destroying these jewelry?! You pay it with money! Don't you know how much of hardworking put by the jeweler to make this!"

"Jeweler? You mean, that bitch Ger's dead father?" Imperial Concubine Ai chuckled mirthlessly. She looked at her son with a hint of mockery in her eyes, "My son, I didn't expect that you'd trick your own mother to buy jewelry from a nasty bitch Ger."

"What trick?! I just recommend you a good place to buy jewelry!" Huang Shu defended himself. 

He looked at the crushed jewelry on the ground, and tears started welling in his eyes. He felt hurt because he knew the history of these jewelry.

He saw Yunyu's old father working daily, trying his best to give the most beautiful jewelry to his customers.

And he saw the crushed white jade bracelet that had been carved like entwining roots. 

That white jade bracelet was personally made by his beloved Yunyu. After Yunyu found out that Huang Shu's mother was the one who wanted to buy it, Yunyu carved it by himself.

He worked day and night to give the most exquisite white jade bracelet because he said it was a gift for Huang Shu's mother. 



'This is a white jade bracelet for your mother,' Yunyu said while handing the exquisitely carved white jade bracelet to Huang SHu.

'You mean, OUR mother?' Huang Shu grinned mischievously, which Bai Yunyu looked away out of shyness in response. 

'W—Whatever, Just give it to her. I don't need your money. This is a gift.'

'Oh? Is this part of your dowry for our future marriage?'



The flashback of Yunyu's sincerity for his mother only heightened the pain in his chest. He couldn't believe his mother would be this heartless.

"Mother, do you know that white jade bracelet is a gift from Yunyu! He made it himself for you because he wants to honor you!" Huang Shu said while pointing at the crushed jade.

"Is that so? Glad that I crushed it. I won't accept anything made by that Bitch Ger."

"Mother…" Huang Shu's hope was crushed entirely, just like these jewelry after his mother didn't even soften after Huang Shu uttered the sincerity of his beloved Yunyu.

He was the naive one here. He thought his mother would soften when she heard such sincerity.

He was the naive one to think that his mother would accept Yunyu. She hated Ger men to the bone. There was no hope in the first place. 

Huang Shu's felt the indescribable anger and disappointment piling in his heart. 

"Huang Shu, you should realize that Bitch Ger is bewitching you. Return to the righteous path and marry someone that deserves you instead, like Xi Yue."

Huang Shu couldn't hold his tears anymore. In front of his mother, servants, and guards, Huang Shu's tears streamed down on his cheeks, "No mother, it's me who doesn't deserve Yunyu. I don't deserve him because I have such a horrible family.
