Chapter 649: Chapter 649: Life and Death in Two Days and Two Nights (Part 6)

How much of Di Xuan’s actions today had been a result of her intentional or unintentional indifference? She didn’t have the answer, but it scared her!

One more step would be the abyss; it was time for a change!

In the side hall, everyone sat in a corner, no one spoke. When Liu Sisi came out, she saw the current situation.

“Xuan’er, come to the study room.”

After saying that, Liu Sisi got up and walked out.

Immediately, countless people turned around and looked at the two. What they were thinking in their hearts, only they knew.

Di Xuan didn’t speak and silently followed Liu Sisi to the study room.

Neither mother nor son spoke, and the atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense.

“You’ve always had opinions about me, haven’t you?”

Liu Sisi spoke first. Di Xuan just looked at her and didn’t say anything.

“Back then, I was bought by your dad for ten taels of silver. This wasn’t a secret, but something everyone knew.”

Unexpectedly, Di Xuan suddenly blurted out a sentence.

“A bought woman can be sold at will, according to the law.”

Liu Sisi raised her eyebrows in surprise, finding it incredibly amusing. She couldn’t help but laugh: “I really didn’t expect that you actually read the imperial laws so well. It’s very comforting. However, you must also be aware of this: Selling the royal offspring is punishable by death, and the whole family, up to nine generations, shall be implicated, right?”

This time, Di Xuan was astonished!

“Royal offspring…?”

Liu Sisi looked at Di Xuan: “From the very beginning, you looked down on me because I was bought by your father for ten taels of silver. But in fact, I have another identity…”

She always thought it was unnecessary to tell a child these things. But it was only after the incident with YingEr that she realized she shouldn’t be silent anymore.

This era was not the one she used to live in. People here value one’s birth and the power behind a woman’s family.

She always thought that being the former Crown Prince’s biological mother was no big deal, especially for her family. She was even more reluctant to use her status to pressure others.

But even Di Xuan, a childlike person, despised her for her identity; it was indeed sad!

“So, although I was raised by the Liu Family, I was originally a Prefecture Princess of the Great Zhao.” His Majesty’s appointment of her as Prefecture Princess Ruyu certainly had a lot to do with Eldest Uncle South. However, her original identity was, after all, that of a Prefecture Princess!

Liu Sisi glanced at Di Xuan indifferently and fell silent.

Di Xuan felt a buzzing in his head!

He had always respected her on the surface because Liu Sisi was bought by his father for ten taels of silver. But he couldn’t deny that deep in his heart, he secretly despised her for being bought by his father and even wished, more than once, that his father would drive her out of the Di Family.

But she suddenly told him that she was actually part of the royal family; how could he accept that?

For someone who grew up in a small hill, being part of the royal family seemed like such a distant thing. He might not have even heard the term in his lifetime if he hadn’t gone to school.

“I didn’t tell you these things before because I thought we were all family, and the so-called identity and status shouldn’t exist at home.” But reality had given her a harsh blow!
