Chen Mu was baffled by her words and furrowed his brows, "Why do you say that? Why did you become a stepping stone in the beginning? Is it because of your mother's identity?"

Lu Jinfeng self-deprecatingly laughed, as he slightly lowered his eyes.

"Something like that."

Sixteen years ago, North King was still a dashing young man. In the affectionate and gentle Jiangnan, he fell in love with the talented Mo Qin at first sight.

A young man clad in fine clothes, with a beautiful appearance and a beautiful moon filled mouth, the peerlessly talented Mo Qin could not endure such a passionate pursuit. It didn't take long for her to fall in love.

The two of them danced and danced as they rode their horses through the rivers and rivers. It seemed that they had used up all of their vows and made an agreement to spend the rest of their lives to live on. In Mo Qin's memories, that was the most beautiful time of her life.

However, beauty had always been fleeting. It had been a scam from the start, so naturally, the end result wouldn't be that good.

Mo Qin was pregnant and urged the youth to quickly get married. The young man happily proposed to Mo Qin's parents.

Originally, they didn't want their daughter to be married off to a small family in the martial arts world, but it couldn't stop their daughter's strong love and growing belly. The Mo family's parents could only agree to the marriage and let the young man marry into their family.

The marriage was arranged according to the young man's intentions, so it was done in a very low profile. After the wedding, the young man treated Mo Qin even better, until he was at the front and back of the horse, almost to the point of taking care of him, until Lu Jinfeng was born.

At that time, the weather changed, and heavy rain fell. The rain fell for three whole days, causing a great flood. The crows cawed, and circled around for three days, never to be seen again.

The baby's face was filled with a strange expression as if he was a ghost that had escaped from hell.

Those who knew the truth all said that this child was likely cursed. He was definitely the reincarnation of an evil spirit. If he was not executed, then he would definitely bring disaster upon everyone and his relatives.

However, the son who was pregnant in October, no matter how ugly or unlucky he was, how could he bear to abandon him? Mo Qin was sad. She wanted to find a husband to discuss how to protect her child, but she couldn't find him no matter what. The youth seemed to have appeared out of thin air, disappearing into thin air.

His family background was fake, his identity was fake, even his name was fake. Everything was fake.

The Mo family's parents were so angry that they laid on the bed, forcing Mo Qin to drown his baby. It was just that the love that was once so strong, how could he just forget it? How could he be willing to let the words "he's dead" pass like the clouds in the sky?

Mo Qin left home with her child, and lived in a remote place with her child in her stomach. Afterwards, she kept asking for news of the youth, believing that her husband wouldn't die that easily.

After that, her hard work paid off, and the person she entrusted to the outside came across someone who looked like a young man. She rushed to the capital in a hurry and spent a lot of effort to meet the person she longed for. However, this person was not the husband in her heart, but the king's grandson, the honorable son of the North King's heir.

He had her thrown out and refused to acknowledge their past. His indifferent attitude and indifferent gaze had deeply buried their feelings.

At one point, she also suspected that she had recognized the wrong person. She kept testing him, and it would be best if she found out that he was still the same person, except that his identity was different.

In front of this ironclad proof, under a hundred percent helplessness, the youth finally admitted their feelings and told her the reason why he left.

This was an unblessed relationship, because from the very beginning, the youth had never held true for her. The reason why he was so close to her was because of a strange curse in the family — all the eldest sons of the family would be extremely ugly, and would only be able to live past the age of sixteen.

This was an immoral joke in the family, an embarrassing past. Thus, whenever the eldest son of the family spoke, he would always be mocked by others.

He wanted to break this rule of being cursed, but he didn't dare take the risk of his future and reputation. Hence, after meeting Mo Qin, he treated her as his experimental subject. And she, as the rumours said, gave birth to an ugly monster, an unlucky monster.

He, on the other hand, finally overcame the joke of his eldest son being cursed. After leaving Mo Qin, he quickly got married and had children.

No one knew about Mo Qin, no one knew that he had an eldest son who was cursed. People only knew that the North King had peerless talent, and only knew that the eldest son of the North King, Chu Xuran.

Mo Qin and her son were destined to be sacrificed.

But why should they sacrifice themselves?

Mo Qin refused to accept, she wanted to beg for an explanation. North King was pestered to the point where she had no other choice but to promise her that as long as she drowned that ugly bastard who no one knew about, leaving their past behind, he would accept her, the daughter of a small family in Jiangnan.

The man she treasured the most and treasured the most in her life, yet in his eyes, she was only a joke.

Mo Qin rejected this man's request and returned to Jiangnan alone with his son. However, she discovered that her father and mother had already died, and the saliva of the crowd had almost drowned her to the ground.

Pain, guilt, despair, reprimand, regret. With so many negative emotions coming up, she was unable to bear it and finally collapsed.

She dived into the water and tried to take the child with her, but she couldn't bear to, so she put the child in the basket and let him drift away along the river.

And then, Lu Jinfeng was picked up by the Madam Li.

Madam Li really did have a son, but he was afflicted with an illness and could not live for long. Lu Dayi and his wife picked up Lu Jinfeng who was the same age as them due to their grief, thus treating him as their own child. This secret was something that not even Madam Niu knew. Therefore, Madam Niu only knew that Lu Jinfeng grew up to be more and more unlike Lu Dayi, who was actually not Lu Dayi's son at all.

"That North King is really ruthless." After hearing the story, Chen Mu Mu sucked in a breath of cold air. "Don't pester him if you don't love him. You've made use of the feelings of others and caused the death of three people. Doesn't his conscience hurt?" Even the scumbags of modern marriage scams were not as vicious as him. Even his own children wanted to kill him.

"A person like that can only be selfish. In the end, he will only plan for himself. How could he care about the life and death of others?" Lu Jinfeng was disdainful.

"Are you nervous? Tiger poison is not yet ready. " Chen Mu Mu Mu stared at him, his brows twitching.

"I'm not his son. I only have one parents." Lu Jinfeng pursed his lips, the mockery in his eyes could almost burn a person, "That man is unworthy of being my father."

Let alone Lu Jinfeng, even she would not recognize someone like the North King as her father.

With the tiger's poison on him, he could not eat anymore. In this North King, he even wanted to murder his own wife and children.

However …

Chen Mu's eyes glimmered, "How did you know about these rumors?"

There was no need to mention the power of the North King, a member of the royal family, a noble king's family. They had power and influence, the people did not fight with the officials, if not for this, the Mo family would not have been harmed so badly.

Furthermore, he had caused so much trouble for the Mo family, and he was still the famous North King.

Mo Qin's death would mean the complete burial of the ugly things that happened to them. If it wasn't for someone who had ulterior motives, it would be impossible for them to find out about such a secret. But for Lu Jinfeng, he obviously did not have the ability to fight against the North King.

Then someone must have helped him when he received this information.

Lu Jinfeng glanced at her, and said with a smile that was yet not a smile: "Didn't you already guess who beside me has that kind of ability?"

Chen Mu Mu's eyes widened, and a name leaped into his mind.

It wasn't hard to guess.

Lu Jinfeng was originally a "normal" young lad who cultivated in the countryside. His circle of contacts were only a few rural mud-shod people, and a few mud-shod people probably wouldn't be able to see the noble lords for their entire lives, so how could they know the secrets behind them?

Moreover, other than the Lin Banxian, who would be so interested in the story behind Lu Jinfeng?

Seeing that she was quiet, Lu Jinfeng was in no hurry to speak. He sat down and poured himself a cup of tea to ease his surging hunger.

The silence in the air was so quiet that it made people panic. Chen Mu Mu Mu was the first to break the silence.

"Tell me, who is he and why is he telling you these things?"

If you are close to someone, you must have a request. If they were unrelated people, even if they knew some things, they might not necessarily want to reveal them, but Lin Banxian was different.

He kept pestering Lu Jinfeng, urgently wanting to tell him about his origins.

The life in the countryside was very beautiful and peaceful. It had been such an easy task for Lu Jinfeng to get past the most difficult crisis, and when the good days were about to come, he suddenly meddled with the matters of the North King Palace — — Not to mention that Lin Mo only wanted to tell Lu Jinfeng about his origins. As a child, he knew that his own mother's death was miserable, and the main culprit was still alive and unbridled!

Lin Mo was not a simple person, and what he had plotted, was not simple either.

"Lin Mo." Lu Jinfeng took a deep breath, the emotions in his eyes were unfathomable, "He is infatuated with Mo Qin, if not for the disturbance from the North King back then, the person who is with Mo Qin now, is him."

"If the person who was with your mother back then was Lin Mo, the ending might have been different." Chen Mu said.

After hearing the words "mother", Lu Jinfeng gave Chen Mu Mu a weird glance, but did not refute her.

Just maybe.

Since North King was unable to give Mo Qin happiness, he might not even be able to give it to him.

Lin Mo was clearly trying to push Lu Jinfeng into the abyss of suffering.

"Then he asked you to come to the capital to get revenge?" "No matter what, the North King is still your father."

His son could not kill his father, otherwise, with how big this world was, there would no longer be a place for Lu Jinfeng.

Furthermore, Mo Qin probably did not want him to take revenge. In the end, she sent him away because she wanted him to live a good life.

She wanted Lu Jinfeng to live so much that she didn't want him to leave this place in order to give her a breath of relief.

"Lu Jinfeng, I also want you to live."

Chen Mu Mu Mu gazed deeply at him before speaking in a low voice, "The one who has passed away is like a husband, those who come can catch up." Most of the time, people should be a bit more selfish. "

"I don't have the strong desire to avenge my mother. I have walked back from the gates of hell many times, so I treasure my own life." Lu Jinfeng held her hand and looked at her steadily, "If possible, I just want to be a country bumpkin, and return home early in the morning to spend the rest of my years with mother."

This confession... It made his heart race.

Chen Mu Mu's eyes grew blurry for a moment before quickly gathering together again. She pursed her lips and asked, "What if?"

Lu Jinfeng said that if, not if. Therefore, there was an unchangeable factor in this.

"There's no other choice." Lu Jinfeng looked at her expression and smiled, but the smile was a bit cold, and Qi Wei's smile was cold.

"The eldest son of the North King Palace, my so-called little brother, was beaten to death while strolling in the brothels."
