"Bai Ruqing met Helan Jun when she was fourteen and had just entered the brothel, right?" Yu Seung-ho continued, "It was also because of the year you met that you fell in love. At that time, Helan Jun's Crown Princess was about to give birth, and your affair was discovered by the Queen Mother..."

"That's enough!" Yu Niang suddenly interrupted him, "Stop talking."

A sneer appeared on her lips. "Even if I am Bai Ruqing, so what? I have severed my relationship with her. I am now Yu Niang. Do you think I would risk my life to go to the palace to see her? Isn't it good for me to live a comfortable life in my silk shop? Why should I risk my life for her?"

Yu Seung-ho was really fed up with this hypocritical woman. If she wasn't Min-zhi's biological mother, he would have turned against her long ago and would have had to persuade her with kind words.

"That's not what you think in your heart, is it?"

"If you didn't want to see Helan Minzhi, you wouldn't have come back from outside Funing City and opened a shop. If you really hated her, you wouldn't have told her that you were dead. You didn't want her to come to you, or you went to see her, not because you didn't want to, but because you were afraid that she would be in danger, right?"

Every word he said was like a knife stabbing into her heart, this bastard.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Huh?"

"Do you think you're talking nonsense and I'm just what you say? What's it to you to say I like or not? Since she's my daughter, I can see her whenever I want and not whenever I don't want. Who are you to control me? How can you be so rude, young man, to ask me to go to the palace right away? How can an ordinary citizen like me enter the palace? Are you fucking mentally ill?!"

Yoo Seung-ho’s inner thoughts: I’ll endure it. For Min-ji, it will pass if I endure it.

"There is still half a month before Minzhi goes to Simu Kingdom to marry. She may never come back. This is the last chance to see her. If you have decided to go to the palace to see Minzhi, I will find a way to bring you in. If you have made up your mind, come to Zuixianlou to find me."

"Also, I'm the grandson of Grand Tutor Yu. My name is Yu Chenghao, not some scoundrel."
