Chapter 500: Chapter 500 Hatred (1)_1

Seeing Xiao Xiong’s face suddenly turn pale, Xiao Ruiyuan hooked his lips, his eyes filled with endless coldness.

The man before him, his so-called father, had been intimate with that woman while his mother was pregnant with him, even allowing that woman to conceive. It was when his mother "accidentally" heard about this while lying in the delivery room that she was distressed and had difficult childbirth, which eventually ruined her health and led to her death!

Before his mother’s body had even gone cold, this man took advantage of the fact that his grandfather was too far away at the border to return in time, marrying the poisonous woman who had killed his mother in haste and bringing back Xiao Ruiqing, who was only a few months younger than himself.

He wouldn’t take out his mother’s death on a child. If it hadn’t been for the fact that Xiao Ruiqing coveted his identity and position and tried to assassinate him in his greed for the position of the Princely Heir, he wouldn’t have laid a hand on him considering the respect for his grandfather and the blood they shared as members of the Xiao Family.

Xiao Ruiqing not only ruined his reputation in the family clan but also secretly sided with King Heng, who was the biggest threat to his cousin. Both publicly and privately, he could not let him go.

Sending Xiao Ruiqing back to their ancestral land to guard the clan’s tomb, without defying his grandfather’s last wishes, was the greatest concession he was willing to make. As for whether this man was willing, he simply didn’t care!

"Evil Offspring! Evil offspring! You heartless evil offspring!" Xiao Xiong pointed at Xiao Ruiyuan and bellowed angrily, his face turning red with rage and distorting, his gaze on Xiao Ruiyuan filled with anger and resentment, yet utterly powerless against him!

Who the real head of the Hou Mansion was, outsiders might not know, but he could not deceive himself. The Hidden Guard carefully trained by the Hou Mansion was his doing. If it weren’t for this evil offspring’s reluctance to marry, he would have lost his title long ago!

This evil offspring, whether toward his father or Qing’er, his brother, showed not a shred of filial piety or brotherly affection. Even if the Evil Offspring took the father’s will into consideration and wouldn’t harm Qing’er, he definitely wouldn’t let Qing’er off easily.

Not to mention anything else, being exiled to the Family roots to guard the clan’s tomb for life, if not for a great misdeed, how could this happen? Rumors alone could ruin his Qing’er!

Faced with the furiously enraged Xiao Xiong, Xiao Ruiyuan cast a cold glance and then looked away, no longer wanting to waste words with the man before him who was both partial and muddled.

"You... you... unfilial son!"

Xiao Xiong was furious, tremblingly pointing his index finger at Xiao Ruiyuan, so angry he almost passed out!

That cold gaze clearly notified him that there was no room for discussion regarding the punishment of his younger son!

Staring intently at Xiao Ruiyuan, Xiao Xiong’s chest violently rose and fell. Despite the resentment and unwillingness in his heart, he could only swallow it for the time being!

Hmph, as long as he sat in the Lord Hou’s seat, as long as he was indeed the "Family Head" of the Hou Mansion, those clan members wouldn’t dare to treat Qing’er poorly. He wanted to see, a year later, without the Crown Prince’s support, whether this unfilial son would dare to be so arrogant!

Just then, there was a burst of noisy footsteps outside the door, and before the attendant guarding the door could announce them, the study door was pushed open with a bang, and in rushed a beautifully dressed, elegantly poised noblewoman with an urgent look on her face.

"Lord Hou, Qing’er is still young, he was misled by others and made a mistake. I only have this one child for you, please don’t send him back to our ancestral land, please don’t!" As soon as the noblewoman entered, she fell straight at Xiao Xiong’s feet, clutching at his legs, weeping with a face full of despair.

The finely dressed noblewoman was none other than Lady Wei, who had committed adultery with Xiao Xiong and become pregnant before marriage, causing the death of his first wife, and ultimately becoming the mistress of the Lord Wei Yuan House.
