"It should not have happened," Qiu Zedong stated and placed the cup lightly on the table.
"Why did you not give me the death penalty the day I killed my mother?" Lóng Wei asked and tapped his fingers on the cup. "I do not care if the world judges me. But I get affected when Li Hua cries seeing and hearing all such things," he demanded the answer from his father.
"I could not do that. I love my every child equally. I have forgiven many crimes of my children. Xiaoming also tried to blame you for the murder of the forty servants, I did not either punish him. Concubine Jun never loved you, so your anger on her was licit," Qiu Zedong stated.
