I am The Villain’s Dad

Su Yuyang gloomily watched on as Grandfather Chen prepared the jewelry and clothes for Linglong to wear the next day. The envoy of the Wa country, who didn’t come early and didn’t come late, why did he choose to come when he was going to leave? Now, they will be unable to leave for at least a month.

Worst of all is that Empress Mingyue… Why is Linglong suddenly going to the banquet to meet the envoy all of a sudden? In the past, Princess Furong was the one to address all formal occasions. With this, many ministers in the Court are speculating again whether Princess Linglong will be the same as Princess Furong, and reassert her claim to the throne. After all, since Young Master Yuyang left the palace, the attitude of the Empress towards Princess Linglong has changed drastically. It can be said that Princess Linglong is still a blessing in disguise. Since then, she has got the Empress’s pity and has the qualification to compete for the throne.

Either way, even Su Yuyang, who was just a man working in a small business in the market, had already heard of this, let alone those in the palace. The moment he heard of it, he suspected the scum of the Empress, thinking she deliberately wanted to send grievances on his daughter because of her grudge against him. Wouldn’t this make her a target of public criticism again? Their eldest daughter, Furong, her own flesh and blood, is now probably going to hate her younger sister to death, right?

“Father, it’s okay. Isn’t this similar to seeing the world for your daughter? In your words, girls need to be knowledgeable, otherwise they will be deceived in the future.”

After spending time with Su Yuyang these days, she has come to understand more of Su Yuyang’s way of thinking, knowing that he was deeply worried for her. Yet, as a princess, she did grow up in the palace since she was a child. Even though she has not been educated like her sister Furong, she still knew the basics. Especially after Father left the harem, she faced many hypocritical changes in the faces of the people, and she was no longer the simple, stupid child who only knew the beauty of the world.

“Well, if you are wronged, you must tell Father immediately. Father will avenge you.” Even though he had no intention to return to the palace to take care of those things, it doesn’t mean that he has no ability.

“With Father around, who dares bully me?” Linglong hugged Su Yuyang and acted like a baby. Sure enough, the palace was not where Father belonged. Look at how good Father has become now, always guarding her, and no longer complaining about others, and no longer waiting for her mother in the palace, and crying for her.

Every day, Father was smiling, as if there is nothing in this world that can make him unhappy. Now that she was with him more, she felt that life had truly become better. Before, although her father loved her too, she was always worried about her father, afraid that he would be unhappy.

Now she really only needed to do things that make herself happy.

While Linglong and Su Yuyang were happily enjoying each other’s company, Furong and the Lord in the palace were going crazy. Furong was already smashing all the things in her palace, and in a manner more intense than Linglong’s previous mess in the harem before.

“Princess, princess be careful of hurting yourself!”

Furong’s caretaker Yang huddled beside her, waiting for the moment she took a pause before trying to intervene. Apart from that, there was nothing he could really do, as he was just a small caretaker. How could he stop Princess Furong? He doesn’t know when the Lord will come. If he doesn’t come, they will definitely suffer.

“Manny, why did Mother do this to me? What did I do badly? Am I inferior to that Linglong?”

Furong’s face was full of tears, and she was very sad. Obviously, she was the princess who was raised as the heir to the throne. She was the one sent to the Lord since she was born. She was the most noble princess in the Dahle Kingdom. She was also the biological daughter of Prince Consort Yuyang, but why, why!

Whether it was Mother Empress or Prince Consort Yuyang, it’s always that Linglong they’ve been watching all the time and holding in their hands that they care about! Every time she saw Young Master Yuyang and Linglong following him, and how he wouldn’t even want to come over and talk to her, she would feel a crushing pain in her chest.She even started knitting and cooking for herself, so that she can also wear handmade clothes like Linglong.

Since he doesn’t like her, she won’t like him either!

Every time she went to the Royal Garden, she just wanted to let him see what a wrong decision it was to send her out back then. Does he think that if he leaves her, she will have a bad life? Impossible! Now that she follows the Lord, she eats well and lives well, and she is better than Linglong in everything! It was a mistake for them to be good to Linglong. Even the Lord always said that she was much better than Linglong.

But, as long as Prince Consort Yuyang stays in the palace for a day, Mother Empress’s eyes will not be on her, and she will only look at Linglong, and only think of the misery of Prince Yuyang sending her daughter away. Through her pity for him, she will take care of Linglong more. Whenever she thinks of this, her heart becomes uncomfortable. Clearly, she is the pitiable child who was forced to be separated from her biological father. Why does it seem that all the faults are hers?

No one bothered to feel for her, but instead, they only cared for the cruel Prince Consort Yuyang who abandoned her… And that Linglong who doesn’t need to do anything every day, just eat and drink, play and have fun!

Damn it! It’s really hateful!

In the end, she couldn’t take it anymore and finally thought of a way to drive Yuyang out, thinking that from now on, she would be the only noble princess in the palace. Linglong, who is not protected by her biological father, will never live so peacefully again.

In the beginning, she did succeed. But gradually, things started to fall apart. Even Mother Empress came to her palace to rebuke her, accusing her of gunning for her biological father’s life. She didn’t at all! She just wanted to throw him out so that Linglong could no longer be favored by Mother Empress because of him. Yet, Mother Empress didn’t believe her, and started treating Linglong even better, so far as to even declare that she would bring Linglong by her side to teach her personally. At that point, everyone said that Mother Empress was going to remove her from the throne and let Linglong succeed her.

How can this be?

Fortunately, the Lord thought of a way and drove Linglong out of the palace. From now on, she would truly be the only princess left in this palace. Even if Mother Empress does not like her and does not care about her, so what? She still has the Lord and her grandmother. With them, her position as a Empress will be solidified.

Once she becomes Empress, she will let Linglong have a good look at who is the most powerful. She will order her biological father to cook and knit clothes for her every day, and is not allowed to treat only Linglong well!

However, she didn’t expect that even after Linglong left the palace, she still had the ability to make Mother Empress go out of the palace to look for her and take her to meet the envoy of the Wa country as well. How could this be possible?

Only the princess who succeeds the throne is qualified to see the envoy of each country! Why, why does the mother Empress have to be so partial towards Linglong?

Thinking about this, Furong reached out to the cup of hot tea which was just brought up by Yang and wanted to slam it to the floor. If the hot tea scalded her, she would not be able to attend the banquet tomorrow. Yang became wide-eyed as he hesitated whether to step forward to catch the teacup or avoid it and leave the princess alone.

“You are really a good princess that I have taught!” At that moment, the Lord walked in, saw that the cup of tea was already in Furong’s hand, and rasped in a cold voice. “Smash it, better smash it until your Mother Empress rushes over, so that she can see how stupid you really are.”

“Lord!”

Seeing him, Furong was even more aggrieved as she rushed in front of him before crying. In response, the Lord didn’t pay any attention and didn’t say anything. He just picked up the tea served up by the palace staff and drank it as he also munched on the snacks on the side. He did so calmly, as if there was no such person as Furong bawling her eyes out in front of him, and that there was no mess in this place.

Originally, Furong was quite aggrieved, especially when she saw him acting so indifferent. Yet, no matter how she cried, the Lord’s expression remained the same, as even his movements did not change.

Gradually, she also felt at a loss. No one loved her. Who is she crying for? Slowly, she wiped away her tears, but she still sat there sobbing unwillingly.

The lord spoke at this moment, “Done crying?”

Furong didn’t speak, and merely sniffled, hoping that the lord would care about her.

“If you want me to coax you, comfort you, and scold Princess Linglong again, you should continue to cry.” After divulging Furong’s heart, the lord took another sip of tea, as if he was going to wait for her to cry even more.

“Doesn’t the Lord feel sorry for me?” Furong couldn’t help but ask. She really couldn’t understand, all these years, did the lord merely think of her as the heir to the throne, or did he really raise her as a daughter? How can he watch her suffer so much and yet be able to look at her so calmly? It’s as if it doesn’t matter at all how she is.

“How can you say if I feel sorry for you or not?” The lord sneered, but as expected, he was too soft-hearted to teach her well. It was also true, that lowly fisherman, what good seed could be born from him? Even if he put his heart into it, he failed to teach her as well as himself. Whenever something happens, she would only vent her anger on these dead objects, or just sit there crying. Still, what can her tears do? That’s something only the weak need.

Counting on these things in exchange for the distress of others? Is it possible?

It’s a pity that the empress has never been involved with anyone in the harem over the years, and she doesn’t know what good thing about that humble person can actually get special favor. If not, why would he have to drag such a stupid person throughout his life!

“Tears are something the weak can only have. They are a manifestation of weakness and incompetence! My daughter does not need tears!”

“But ……” Furong was still aggrieved, why was it that every time Linglong cried, she could get everything she wanted. How can she only get the lord’s scolding when she cries?

“If you can’t figure it out, you don’t have to attend the banquet tomorrow, I will tell His Majesty that you are not feeling well and can only let Princess Linglong do it for you.” After saying that, the Lord stood up and intended to leave. With such poor character, he wouldn’t bother to put more effort on her.

“No! No! I beg the Lord for advice!”

Furong panicked. If she attended the banquet with Linglong, she would just feel uncomfortable, but if only Linglong attended without her, then she would become the laughing stock of the palace.

“You figured it out?” However, the lord was still not moved by her words.

“I have figured it out! Mother Empress brought Linglong along to see the envoy just to pity her. After all, she is also Mother Empress’s daughter, but I am the first daughter of Lord and Mother Empress, the real heir to the throne. I shouldn’t lose my manners by throwing a fit over such trivial matters…”

“Hey…”

Hearing this, the lord sighed, stretched out his hand to support Furong, and wiped her face with the hot towel handed over by the palace staff.

“It’s not that the Lord doesn’t feel sorry for you, but as a royal princess, you can’t be like an ordinary girl… And you are like this…”
