Qi Ye had anticipated their reactions long ago, so he just smiled and continued, "Cang Dongyu, let me tell you, I am your cousin, Cang Jiyue."

"I am the younger brother of Yongba Wang Cangba Yue!"

"But the only difference is that he is the son of the first wife, while I am an illegitimate child!"

"My mother was just a small fisherman back then. She happened to save Cang Nanmen, the father of the then Cang Ba Wang, while fishing."

"At that time, Yong Bawang's father, Cangnan Men, was handsome and talented. My mother was naturally attracted to him, and he was also very eloquent."

"My mother was blinded by lust and secretly entrusted her life to me! But what was the final result?"

"My mother spent all her family wealth just to help him get treatment. After he recovered, he returned to Tiandu and forgot about her. And that's when she found out she was pregnant with me."

"In order to ensure my safe birth, my mother had to leave her hometown and come to a small mountain village to live alone with her big belly. She finally gave birth to me with the help of neighbors, but she lived a life of poverty."

"Later, when I was a few years old, my mother finally couldn't bear the pain of illness and passed away. I took the relic that my mother left behind, a jade pendant that the Cangnan Sect had left for her, and came to Tiandu to find him."

"But at that time, my father, Cangnantian, didn't believe me! Even after seeing the jade pendant, he refused to believe it."

"Later I realized that it wasn't so much that he didn't want to believe me, but rather that he didn't want to acknowledge me."

"They just casually sent me out like a beggar. And then I met the emperor at that time, Cangnan Tian!"

"Cang Nantian is much better than his so-called biological father. He helped me a lot. Although Cang Nantian was young at that time, he was already the new emperor. So with his help, my father finally recognized me!"

“I thought this was the beginning of my life, but I didn’t expect it to be the beginning of my nightmare.

At that time, although I had entered the palace, I lived a life worse than death, even worse than an ordinary servant. In the palace, I was beaten and scolded at will! Because I grew up in the countryside, I didn't know many rules, so I suffered a lot!

"And every time I saw Cang Ba Yue surrounded by fine clothes and delicious food, I felt particularly ironic! It was also from that time that I swore that one day I would trample Cang Ba Yue under my feet and get everything that Cang Ba Yue wanted!"

"But I didn't live to see that day, because not long after, my so-called biological father, on the trumped-up charge of theft, beat me 30 times with a stick and threw me into a mass grave. Everyone thought I wouldn't survive, including me, but I survived."

"Not only did I survive, but I also lived like this. From then on, I hid my identity and secretly learned knowledge outside the school. Later, I met a steward of the Qi family. He saw that I looked very similar to a young master of the Qi family. The young master was frail and sickly and was about to die. So, in order to maintain her own status, the lady at the time secretly replaced me with the young master of the Qi family."

"Since then, I've seized the opportunity to study hard and have reached my current position. And now, this is the moment for me to realize my dream! Soon, I will be able to obtain the position that Yong Ba Wang has always wanted."

"And today, I want to get that position to tell him that what he, Yong Bawang, can't get, only I can get."

After hearing this, Cang Dongyu felt some sympathy for Qi Ye's situation, but he did not approve of Qi Ye's approach. He said, "Since you know how tragic your mother's death was, you should understand that everything you are doing now, the killing you are causing, will not only destroy countless families, but also destroy countless people."

Upon hearing this, Qi Ye collapsed and shouted, "Isn't my mother miserable? Am I not miserable? Do I deserve all the suffering I've endured? Did my mother deserve to be deceived? Forced to leave her homeland, forced to give birth to and raise a child alone, and forced to die young and withered?"

"I'm telling you, Cang Dongyu, you've always been the well-protected child. You don't understand the sufferings of this world at all. And I've never been protected, so you have no right to say these words."

Cang Dongyu continued, "Since you know the suffering you've gone through, you shouldn't let others suffer the same pain you've gone through."

Qi Ye said, "You're wrong. I just want others to experience the pain I've endured. I want everyone in the world to know how miserable my life has been."

"Not only do I want others to taste my suffering, I also want you to taste my suffering, Cang Dongyu. From the very beginning, I couldn't stand your timid behavior. You only knew how to hide behind your sister and cry for milk. You clearly can't do anything, but you sit on the throne of the emperor and let others handle everything for you."

"But what was the result? What did you do in the end, Cang Dongyu? You actually pushed the sister who had always helped you off the cliff."

"You're just as heartless as you and my so-called biological father. I just can't stand people like you. Even if I die, I will make you taste all the suffering I've endured, let you feel the dangers of the world, let you know how happy you are now, how ridiculous your words are now! How ironic everything you do now is!"

"When you have tasted all the suffering I have endured, and experienced all the injustice and bullying I have suffered, it will be too late for you to say these words."
