Chapter 1038: Chapter 838: Are You Really That Ruthless?

"Pfft," the little one laughed again, spitting and kicking her little legs so wildly they hit Tuoba Lie right in the chest.

"So she is really angry," concluded Tuoba Lie. "How about this, Daddy will have this woman dragged away and beheaded for you, what do you say?"

After speaking, Tuoba Lie looked at the two guards. "Chop this woman’s head off and hang it on the city wall for public display. I want to see who else dares to mess around. I can bully my woman, but no one else can."

Huahua’s face turned pale as she heard it. "Tuoba Lie, we have shared a bed for many years, you cannot kill me. If you kill me, my family will not let you go; they will definitely oppose you..."

"Drag her away!" Tuoba Lie’s voice was extremely stern, and he did not look at Huahua again from beginning to end.

As Huahua was being dragged away, she kept shouting, "Tuoba Lie, you will not die a good death if you do this, I won’t let you go even as a ghost."

...

After the room gradually quieted down, Tuoba Lie finally turned and looked at Nan Feng.

Nan Feng struggled to get out of bed, walked slowly to Tuoba Lie’s side, and reached out to take the baby. "Give her to me."

Tuoba Lie handed the little one to Nan Feng, and the baby became even happier in Nan Feng’s arms, waving her arms and legs excitedly as if wound up.

Now with his hands empty, Tuoba Lie suddenly felt a hollow emptiness in his heart. He glanced at the little one again; she was probably hungry and burrowing into Nan Feng’s chest looking for something to eat.

As Nan Feng took the baby, intending to go back to feed her, Tuoba Lie said, "Nan Feng, are you truly that heartless?"

"I don’t understand what you’re talking about," Nan Feng said indifferently.

"Do you plan to keep living like this, without proper clothes or food, letting your daughter endure such hardships? Look at what your daughter is wearing and where she is living now. In our old world, there’s a saying: ’No matter how hard life is, do not make the children suffer; no matter how poor, do not skimp on education.’ Don’t you even know that much?"

Nan Feng laughed scornfully: "Tuoba Lie, my daughter could have been sitting comfortably in a heated room, attended by servants. Even if her father is no longer a General, she could have been a carefree rich man’s daughter with no worries about food or clothing. I would have given her the softest bed, the tastiest food, the finest clothes. I’d never interfere with her dreams; she could do whatever she liked in the future. Anyone can accuse me of irresponsibility for letting my daughter end up like this, but you cannot, because you are the one who caused this situation!"

Every word Nan Feng spoke struck Tuoba Lie like a whip, and he remained motionless long after she left.

Yet, his ultimate realization was also this: he could give her all these, if only she wanted them.

He could even give her and her daughter even more love.

But why did she refuse?

...

Dazhou.

News of the Crown Prince’s return had spread throughout the entire Capital City.

And the city was abuzz as if boiling over, filled with all kinds of voices.

Generally, the heir to the throne is the eldest son, but though the Crown Prince had returned, there was already an established heir. However, it seemed unlikely that the current heir’s position would be affected.

Yet there were voices saying that the elder prince had returned in exchange for a city, which must mean the Emperor holds him in high regard, so the matter was not clear-cut.
