"I don’t know!" Nangong Xu snorted coldly.

"You do know." Jian Yufei stated firmly.

"Because you killed Nangong Shengjie, my mother’s brother, her closest family, so she doesn’t like you anymore.

No one would stay with a person who killed their family.

You should have known the consequences when you made your move."

"Nangong Shengjie deserved to die! He was weak and useless, the Nangong Family couldn’t fall into his hands! The Nangong Family can only be inherited by me; if he didn’t die, how could I inherit it?"

"Yes, to gain the family, you sacrificed my uncle and chose to give up my mother. This was your own choice, so you can’t blame my mom for not liking you anymore."

"But all these years, I’ve been so good to her, even if she hates me, she should have let go of her hatred!" Nangong Xu said unwillingly.

Jian Yufei found his logic laughable.

"You’ve been very good to her, but you keep hurting the people she loves.

You first killed my uncle; you can say you killed him to seize power, as history is written by the victors, you won, we have nothing to say.

But then you tried to burn my father alive, again cruelly hurting my mother.

You’ve dealt her two heavy blows; how do you expect her to love you?"

Nangong Xu was filled with rage: "Xiao Zexin deserved to die! He took Ruyue from me; if he dared to take my woman, he deserved to die! Too bad that fire didn’t kill him!"

Jian Yufei was also furious.

"What about Ansel and Junqi then? You targeted newborn babies, and what about me? Do we all deserve to die?"

"Yes, you all deserve to die! It’s because you carry Xiao Zexin’s blood, your existence is a disgrace to me. I want to erase the disgrace from my life, am I wrong?"

"We are not your disgrace! My father and mother are legally married, you are the one who interfered in their relationship!"

"You..." Nangong Xu was angry beyond comprehension.

Jian Yufei was also so angry she lost her reason, "What gives you the right to say we all deserve to die? I think it’s you who deserve to die! If not for you, would we have to suffer so much?"

Nangong Xu laughed cruelly: "Your suffering is all Xiao Zexin’s fault! It’s his sins that implicated you all."

"It’s clearly your selfish cruelty that has made us suffer like this!"

"Haha, I’m selfish and cruel! Was I wrong in what I did?

We’re all descendants of the Nangong Family, why can only you inherit the family, and not us?

I have capability, why shouldn’t I inherit? Is it wrong to fight for what I want?

I love Ruyue, was I wrong to remove Xiao Zexin and you?

In your eyes, I’m always at fault, and you’re all without fault, is that it?!"

Nangong Xu’s face was twisted with madness.

These words must have been pent up inside him for a long time, now finally finding an outlet.

Jian Yufei looked at him calmly: "You’re right, why shouldn’t you inherit.

But, was that our decision? Even if you are unwilling, you shouldn’t take it out on us.

Besides, we’ve already given everything up to you, we fight for nothing, so why won’t you let us go?"

"Because my child died!" Nangong Xu shouted.

"My hopes were gone, I have nothing, so I wish you all a miserable end!"

Jian Yufei’s face turned white.

She always thought Nangong Xu captured her just to reminisce about her mother.
