Chapter 461 I Don’t Need a Father

But the emperor made a mistake.

That is, Hu Xiner is definitely not the kind of weak woman who can be manipulated by others. She trusts the Lu family, trusts Mu Qing, and also trusts herself who can successfully resolve any desperate situation!

Therefore, she would not bow to the emperor just because she coveted the royal power.

So what if you were rich and famous? In Hu Xin'er's view, fame, wealth and prosperity were only real if you earned them yourself. What others could easily give you, they could naturally take back easily.

What's the difference between the emperor's request and Old Master Liu forcing her to divorce?

Zuo was just relying on his own powerful influence to interfere with her choice in the name of justice.

They never blame the perpetrators because they are too crazy and they cannot control them at all.

So they turned the blame around and made Hu Xiner, who was originally a victim, learn to be magnanimous and tolerant.

"You are so powerful!" Hu Xiner stopped the eldest princess's plea with her eyes.

She clapped her hands, the crisp applause like a slap in the emperor's face, full of sarcasm. "Do you think that I, an orphan with no background, must be particularly craving parental care? During my absence, I think about my wicked biological parents every day and night?"

The emperor's face twitched slightly, his eyes full of surprise.

He really thought so.

Seeing this, Hu Xin'er knew she was right, and her voice became even gentler. "Then in your imagination, if a woman like me who has never seen much of the world suddenly discovered that my biological father is the emperor, would I rush over to you in gratitude, crying and begging to be your daughter?"

The emperor moved a little uncomfortably. As an emperor, he naturally did not think that Hu Xiner's words were a compliment to him.

Hu Xiner's reaction made him feel as if things were out of his control.

He said in a deep voice: "You can be so tolerant to the Lu family, why are you so harsh to your blood relatives?"

There was genuine doubt in his words.

In his eyes, he and Hu Xiner are a family.

He will always be the emperor who is high above everyone else, and everyone should surround him like the moon surrounded by stars.

His gentleness and kindness were not all false; it was just that all his generosity was based on the fact that he was the emperor.

In his subconscious, everyone should be chasing him, and Hu Xiner should be deeply moved by his unconditional trust.

But why would his daughter not be close to him but instead be close to the Lu family?

What's so good about the Lu family? They don't have much power or wealth, and the whole family is stubborn. Being a daughter-in-law of the Lu family is not as free and easy as being a royal princess.

However, Hu Xin'er shattered all his arrogant imaginations with just one sentence.

"It's simple. I don't need a father," Hu Xin'er replied simply and straightforwardly. "Besides, my tolerance isn't determined by blood ties."

"If you can treat your mother like this, she will never harm you!" The emperor was a little dissatisfied with her stubborn temper.

After hearing this, Hu Xiner just curled the corners of her mouth silently.

She had heard a saying in her previous life: you should stay away from those who advise you to be magnanimous whenever there is nothing to do, so as to avoid being affected when they are struck by lightning.

The emperor's words sounded quite nice at this time.

But if Hu Xiner died because of this so-called "magnanimity", he would just shed a few hypocritical tears and then continue to hold Liu Se!

Maybe, they would also feel that Hu Xiner failed to repay evil with kindness, and failed to use her love to influence Liu Se's hostility.

But this is everyone's first time being a human being, so why should she give in to Liu Se, a man in his thirties or forties?

Is Liu Se a giant baby?

Anyone who wants a crazy beauty like Liu Se can have her, she won't serve you anyway.

She would never pretend to be a saint and agree to other people's excessive requests.

Even though this person is her nominal biological father.

"You!" The emperor slammed his hand on the table, his eyes full of disappointment. "I will never allow you to break off your relationship with Liu Se. If you are determined, I will have no choice but to..."

"What do you mean by 'no choice'?" Hu Xin'er raised her eyes, her sharp gaze filled with mockery. "Do you think you can only confine her like you did to your other concubines and children, or marry her off to someone else?"

The emperor was speechless.

Hu Xin'er said speechlessly, "Old Master Liu has used this trick on me before, it's useless. Do I need your permission to do anything I want? Don't forget, I haven't recognized you yet!"

The emperor was repeatedly contradicted and flew into a rage: "Do you still want to sever ties with me?"

The palace servants knelt on the ground and trembled. Even the dead branches and fallen leaves outside the palace dared not make a sound, for fear of arousing the emperor's wrath.

After the emperor said this, he felt that he had gone too far and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

He actually just wanted to scare Hu Xiner, and since he was used to a life of luxury, he subconsciously showed his intimidating aura.

However, the person in front of him was his long-lost daughter after all. She was young and ignorant, and was pregnant.

He shouldn't be so vicious.

But Hu Xiner's words made his pupils shrink suddenly.

She had a cold face and calmly pulled out another envelope from her sleeve.

Inside was a deed severing ties with the emperor.

"Congratulations, you got it right," Hu Xin'er said emotionlessly. "I never intended to acknowledge you from the beginning."

The palace maids lowered their heads even lower.

Who doesn't know how much His Majesty values ​​this newly adopted little princess?

The blank imperial edict was given as soon as it was said. These past few days, he not only kept muttering "Xin'er", but also often complained that the Lu family had kidnapped his daughter.

But the new princess actually said that she didn’t want to recognize His Majesty as her father?

How angry is your Majesty?

This new princess, isn't this too ungrateful?

The emperor was so angry that his beard was shaking. He took the envelope tremblingly, and saw that it contained a deed that severed ties with the royal family, and the content of the deed was exactly the same as the one given to the Liu family.

The words he used were extremely decisive, clearly indicating that he no longer wanted to have any contact with them.

He read the contents of the contract word by word silently, covering his chest and unable to utter a word.

The eldest princess quickly read the contract and knew that something was wrong.

She looked at Hu Xin'er anxiously: "Xin'er, I know you just said those words in anger, right? Just apologize to your father!"

Hu Xin'er kept silent.

The eldest princess turned around in bewilderment, only to see the emperor's face flushed red. Her nose felt sore, and she frantically shook his hand, "Father, what's wrong with you? Say something!"

Hu Xin'er originally didn't want to pay attention to them, but seeing this, a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.
