This is a Misunderstanding
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
But on the other side of the fight, Ling Chuxi was confused by the clear hatred in Yi Li's eyes. In terms of grudges, it should be between Ling Chuxi and Aunt Yi. But why did it feel as if Yi Li's hatred was similar to the feeling one would have towards the person who killed one's loved one? Ling Chuxi suddenly speculated, could Yi Li be the love child between Aunt Yi and Chu Fengyun?
But Ling Chuxi could find no traces of resemblance between Yi Li and Chu Fengyun. Could it be because she had not seen Chu Fengyun when he was younger? The more she thought about it, the more convinced she was of her conclusion. Otherwise, she really could not think of any other reason Yi Li would hate her so.
"Although your father died at my hands back then, it was because he was ambitious and wanted to annex the four kingdoms. He plotted against me first so I had no choice but to strike back at him," said Ling Chuxi to Yi Li.
