Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Inside, Liu Hua was all baffled. Her lips were bleeding with the harsh slaps she was receiving every now and then while some parts of her skin has already started to turn blue, marking the bruises that were given to her as the punishment for ruining the name of every mother of this world. 

"You … who are you guys? Release me! Release me now. Don't you have any shame? What's giving you the capabilities to torture a woman like this". Still struggling on the chair, Liu Hua tried her best to free herself. But the more she twisted in desperation, the more hurt she felt. The ropes weren't coming off her but with every twist of her arm, it was just getting tighter on her, making her sob in agony.

Li Sheng, who was tied not too far away from his wife looked in her direction and scoffed. He wasn't feeling even a tinge of pain for his wife. Why should he? She, herself, was responsible for her condition. He has asked her not to do anything against Li Xue but she has her own plans. 

"You are scoffing at me? What does that mean?"

"What more should I do then? Because of you, we are here, tied up like this. Is there anything else that I could do or say in the situation?" The man said scoffing again. But helplessness was more evident in his expressions. 

"Li Sheng! What are you saying? How am I responsible? This must be because of you. I am sure you must have offended some business tycoon and now we are facing the result of it. Don't blame me uselessly. Just try to think how can we escape from here." Deliberately feigning oblivion to the possibilities, the woman didn't take any time to push all the blame on the shoulders of her husband. 

And her such words only brought a mocking hmph from the man. "Do you really think so?" He shook his head to himself, before adding his words of understanding. "Have I even left with any business entity that I will get a chance to offend any businessman? Hua, you better face the truth now. This is all because of the evil things you have planned for Li Xue. Haven't I already warned you before?" 

The mention of Li Xue's name only flared up the woman. She got easily reminded of her failure again which made her nerves ache. "You are still singing the same old song, Li Sheng. What capabilities does that wretch hold to bring us to this situation? If she has really been like the one you said, why do you think that she would be working her ass off in the industry? Why would she be taking the struggles and pain, instead of sitting and enjoying her luxurious life?" 

That would simply not make sense. Long back when she has dreamed of luxurious life with the title of royal queen, she has also thought to take retirement from her work. Wen Sying is also planning the same. Shouldn't it have been the same for that wretch as well, unless she is just a mistress of some fatty old businessman with whom her life was just not secured for the long term? 

"Hua, Li Xue is not same as others. Don't you know her?" Li Sheng was really feeling his nerves bulging out. This woman was simply getting impossible for him. She has birthed and lived off twenty years of her life with the girl, how could she still not know her? From the very start, the girl was of an independent mind and wouldn't ever think of depending on anyone. 

But Liu Hua was too full of herself, so never got a chance to get details of the girl's attitude and principles. "Heh! Li Sheng, that's enough. How could be she no same as others? What could make a sod like her different?" 

"The royal blood in her!" 

At this moment a stern voice rang from a distance, answering the woman very straightforwardly of the thing. 

On that voice both, the man and the woman turned to look in the direction of the source of the voice. Slowly and slowly a figure appeared from the darkness, making Liu Hua's eyes widen in horror while Li Sheng frown in unexpectedness. 

"The royal blood in her is enough to make her different. Don't you already know that?" The voice was sharp enough to tell the identity of the man and his authority. 

Liu Hua's eyes tried to take in his presence. It has really been a long since she last saw the man but he still looks all same like he used to look twenty-six years back. All gorgeous enough to steal anyone's breath. 

"You! You … why are you here?" She asked, quite not accepting the presence of the man. 

Shin Tinming sniggered. "What do you think? I am here to offer you the punishment that you deserve for offending royal blood." 

Liu Hua gulped down in fear as shaking her head, she defended, "Who did I offend? What are you saying? I am all happy with my current life and husband. Don't take me wrong. I have not offended anyone." 

As she said that, a slap on her face was delivered straight and before she could get when and what happened. "Dare to lie to His Majesty and you will have to face worse." Only after a second, she got to hear a warning from the guard beside who has earlier slapped her on the instruction of the old butler standing beside the king.

"B-But I didn't lie." 

Old butler Cao stepped forward with a cough and cleared the confusion of the woman out for good. "Ms. Liu, we are here to let you know that wrong you have done by laying your evil hands on our young miss, Ms. Li Xue, at Emerald De-Luxe." 

Liu Hua could not say more. She felt frozen. So this was really happening because of that girl. Scoffing at the realization, she chuckled, "Heh! Royal blood! She has got no good blood than a stinky swine. Why are you taking her so high …?" 

Pak! 

And before she could even reach the full stop of her words, she was again slapped … this time hard enough to make her sprout blood from her mouth.
