Bei Menlin did not receive his father's embrace; instead, he was brutally beaten by the servants of the Marquis's mansion.
The sticks pounded hard on the young body, and Bei Menlin was in excruciating pain.
He finally understood that his father did not want to acknowledge him as his son.
I've heard that the Marquis's wife is decisive and efficient, a very capable woman who keeps the Marquis firmly under her control.
While other royal nobles had numerous wives and concubines, only the Marquis of Xinyang's household had only one woman in his harem.
Bei Menlin was alone and helpless in the vast Sufeng, and was about to freeze to death in the cold wind that year. The Third Prince at the time saved him, adopted him as his son, and raised him.
The Third Prince taught Beimen Lin to read and write, sent him to learn martial arts, taught him military tactics, and placed him on the chessboard for vying for the throne of Sufeng.
Bei Menlin was a fierce general, always able to hit his target and never losing a battle.
The Third Prince, who came from a humble background, gradually built his influence in the court through the efforts of Bei Menlin.
The third prince and the crown prince fought for the throne, resulting in both being severely injured. The crown prince's son, Beimen Mu, ascended the throne and became a puppet emperor.
Meanwhile, Bei Menlin, the nominal adopted son of the Third Prince, controlled most of the real power in the court, wielding absolute power.
If that day had not happened, the person sitting on the throne now would be Beimen Lin.
Bei Menlin once swore that the first person he would deal with after ascending the throne was the Marquis of Xinyang.
Yi Mu knew that Bei Menlin was simply blinded by the hatred he had harbored since childhood.
If he really executed the Marquis of Xinyang, the first person to regret it would be Beimen Lin.
"This matter requires careful consideration. Please get up."
Bei Menlin pressed down on him, his brows furrowed with rage.
"I'm not negotiating with you. If you don't agree, the four-year agreement is void immediately."
As he spoke, he grabbed Yi Mu by the neck with one hand, using such force that he intended to strangle him to death.
Yi Mu knew that he had an extreme personality, but he didn't expect him to be so irritable.
This was the second time that Beimen Lin had suffocated Yi Mu.
Struggling at this point is useless and will only make Beimen Lin more agitated.
Yi Mu simply remained motionless, letting his face turn from red to purple, just to see if Bei Menlin would have any sense of reason when facing him.
Yi Mu suffered from severe oxygen deprivation in his brain, and his eyes gradually closed, blurring the face of Bei Menlin in his vision.
Before losing consciousness, he mentally gave the middle finger.
Once they officially become a couple, he will definitely make Bei Menlin kneel on a washboard.
There was something soft on his lips. Yi Mu opened his eyes and looked into a vast expanse of azure sea.
Having spent years on the battlefield, Bei Menlin exudes a chilling aura, and even when he smiles, he doesn't seem particularly approachable.
But those eyes are truly beautiful and gentle.
If he truly loves someone and looks at that person with those eyes, that person would probably drown in it, unable to extricate themselves.
No wonder the female lead is so infatuated with him. If Bei Menlin always looked at him with those doting eyes, Yi Mu would probably...
I'll still make Beimen Lin kneel on the washboard! But I won't make him kneel for too long.
Bei Menlin noticed that Bei Menmu had woken up and let out a silent sigh.
He wouldn't admit that he was terrified when he found Beimen Mu lying weakly beneath him.
He has no relatives in this world.
Bei Menlin regarded his biological father, Marquis of Xinyang, as a dead man.
He once longed for the Third Prince's affection, but as he grew up, he discovered that behind the kindness lay repeated exploitation, and so he stopped hoping for it.
Bei Menmu was the first person he ever truly cared about in this world; he even resented his mother.
He didn't want Beimenmu to die.
Yi Mu saw that Bei Menlin's brows were furrowed into a knot. He reached out and smoothed out the brow mark, barely managing to raise the corners of his mouth, his voice hoarse beyond belief.
"You bastard, you're hurting me."
