He was too cold and rebellious, which was why his mother didn't like him.
Now he knew that Madam Lu was not his birth mother, he was an illegitimate child, and that was why Madam Lu had always looked at him with disdain, deliberately not letting him have fish to eat.
She would intentionally make things difficult for him, beat and scold him in many ways, but in front of Lu Mingzhen and his eldest brother, she would pretend to be a good mother.
Just like now, she kept serving dishes to his eldest brother and didn't forget about him either, even chiding the servants for not being attentive enough to serve him soup in time.
He had thought this was one of the few signs of motherly love from Madam Lu, but now he realized that it was all just a pretense. It was because of her pretense that he had been deceived for so many years.
