It's really ironic.

"Why bother!" Lin snorted coldly, "Yeah, why bother with all the work I've done?"

"You have all grown up, and have forgotten what life was like in the past!"

"When your father and I were at the border, we lived in fear every day. Later, you were born there. You were so young back then that I was afraid you wouldn't survive!"

"What kind of life are we living?"

"What kind of life are they living?"

"If I hadn't fought hard and I hadn't become the legal wife, do you think you would be the legitimate son now?"

"Why should I target Lu Mingyun? As long as he's around, you'll always be inferior to him. Why should my son, Lin Ruoru, be inferior to others?"

Lu Fengning smiled helplessly, not knowing whether he was laughing at himself or at Lin. "Mother, please don't say such things in the future."

"Whether you are your father's legal wife or not, your son can never be more valuable than your eldest brother."

"Brother, he is the emperor's nephew. He is half royal. He is destined to be nobler than others."

"So what!" Lin angrily shouted, "He's not favored, I don't believe the emperor can still care about his life or death!"

Lu Fengning took a deep breath. He felt like he was suffocating, like a scholar meeting a soldier.

But this person is his mother. If she continues to be so stubborn, she may end up on the path of self-destruction.

"Mother, the reputation of the royal family is very important. Even though there was something fishy going on between the eldest princess and the emperor, after the eldest princess passed away, the emperor still sent people to inspect and buried her with great honor, and my father was also called into the palace for questioning." Lu Fengning said in detail.

"We hadn't moved into the mansion yet, do you remember? The courtyard was almost completely filled with soldiers."

"The emperor may not care about a princess or a nephew, but he definitely cares about the reputation of the royal family."

"Any incident involving a member of the imperial family would affect the reputation of the royal family, which the emperor would not allow."

"Big brother is my father's son, but he is also the eldest princess's son. He is a member of the royal family."

"If anything happens to him, the emperor will still send people to investigate. If he finds mother, not only will you be in trouble, but the Lin family will not be spared either."

"When the time comes, even if my uncle has made great contributions, he will still be punished."

After hearing this, Lin was furious again. She slammed the table and scolded, "That's your uncle! Can't you say something nice?"

"Mother, that's your brother. What you are doing now may very likely implicate him!" Lu Fengning persuaded in a calm and composed manner.

Lin stared at Lu Fengning intently, her chest heaving violently with anger. "I will take the blame alone when the time comes. I believe His Majesty will not make things difficult for him."

Lu Fengning raised his head and shook it. "Mother, some responsibilities are not something you can take on just because you want to. If you killed my eldest brother and the emperor didn't punish the Lin family, then where would the royal family's reputation be?"

Lin didn't know what she was thinking about. She gritted her teeth and took the teacup from the table and threw it at Lu Fengning who kept refuting her, "You look down on me too..."

"Oh, I'm your mother! Others can look down on me, but you can't!!"

“…” Lu Fengning was speechless for a moment.

This is not a question of contempt. He is clearly trying to persuade and explain the majesty of imperial power in every word. Why is his mother always focusing on something else?

"roll!!"

Lin didn't want to listen to him anymore and pointed at the door and shouted heartbreakingly.

Lu Fengning's face turned pale. He sighed helplessly and stood up. "Mother, perhaps you think that father was made a marquis because of his meritorious service in guarding the border."

"But you know, from ancient times to the present, generals who were able to be granted the title of marquis were either those who served the emperor or those who saved the emperor. Some even contributed to the expansion of the territory. Only in this way could they be granted the title of marquis and the title of nobility."

"Father was granted the title of nobility mainly because the emperor cared about the royal family's reputation."

"The Emperor doesn't seem to care about my eldest brother, but he still gives him a certain status."

"This prince is destined to be my eldest brother's. Even if my eldest brother is gone, it won't fall on me."
