Chen Qingzhu raised her hand and brushed aside the hem of her clothes, leaving Pei Xuan with nothing to grab.

Her obvious rejection made Pei Xuan dare not act rashly.

Chen Qingzhu lowered his eyes and looked at him, saying calmly:

"The damage caused by doing something wrong cannot be repaired by simply admitting your mistake."

Pei Xuan felt that her tone had softened, and he quickly expressed his determination:

"I know! Mother, I'll do anything as long as you can forgive me!"

"Anything?"

"Yes!" Pei Xuan nodded vigorously.

Chen Qingzhu smiled faintly, moved his fingers for a moment, and said:

"The sixth day of the seventh month two months from now will be a good day for having a baby."

"Since you sincerely repent, you should be given to the ministers for the sake of my country."

Pei Xuan's mind suddenly buzzed.

She actually wanted to adopt him out!

In this ancient time when status was important, once someone was adopted, he would never have a chance to inherit the throne again.

The repressed grievances and anger, under the tremendous stimulation, all turned into raging rage, causing him to lose all reason in an instant, and he could no longer maintain his previous disguise of humility and obedience.

"No! I don't agree!"

"I have already apologized to you so sincerely, why are you still so cruel to me?"

From his recent actions, Chen Qingzhu knew that he still didn't see the situation clearly and was overestimating his own capabilities by trying to fight for things that didn't belong to him.

But his own abilities are so limited that even the action of fighting for it seems so stupid and ridiculous.

"Cruel?" Chen Qingzhu said coldly, "If I were really cruel, I would have killed you directly to avoid the turmoil caused by the fight for the throne."

"Being adopted is the only way for you to survive."

The prerequisite is that he can grasp this way of survival.

This is a notice full of traps.

If he had been a well-behaved son of a minister, studied hard, and served the country well.

After he has children, she might even confer the title of Earl on him for the sake of future generations, so that he can pass on the title to the family.

But if you still have improper thoughts and do things that you shouldn't do, then it's better to die.

As it turned out, she had overestimated Pei Xuan's intelligence.

Her words were so serious, but he didn't understand the deeper meaning at all. All he could think about was that she wanted to adopt him out.

"You're not fair! You're treating me like this just to clear the way for Pei Rong! This is not fair!"

"I am the only prince, so I should be the crown prince! If anyone is to be adopted, Pei Rong should be adopted out!"

Under great stimulation, he began to speak without thinking and said everything that was in his mind.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingzhu frowned even deeper.

How could she have such a stupid son!

"Whether in character or ability, you are far inferior to Rong Niang. What qualifications do you have to be the crown prince?"

Seeing the contempt and disgust on her face, Pei Xuan became even more angry and asked immediately:

"You haven't trained me yet, so how can you conclude that I won't be able to do the job after receiving the same education and experience?"

Chen Qingzhu sneered:

"How ridiculous! Why should I choose a filial and intelligent daughter over a man who is willing to force me to death just to be his legitimate son?"

She is not idle, so she creates a rival for Rong Niang for no reason and disturbs the peace of the court.

Pei Xuan gritted his teeth and looked at her angrily:

"You really are still holding a grudge against me! Is there any mother like you in the world? You keep harping on the little mistakes your child made when he was little?"

Chen Qingzhu just thought it was ridiculous:

"Oh, even today, you still think it was a minor mistake."

When she left the house, he was no longer a child.

At least mentally, he understood everything, and he seemed to be very considerate in his dealings with others in the mansion and the academy.

He didn't say that out of ignorance.

Moreover, even now, he still seemed to take it for granted that since she gave birth to him, she must sacrifice everything for him, and no matter what he did, she must tolerate and forgive all his mistakes and injuries.
