In the past, he didn't care if he was the heir to Duke Zhengguo's mansion, and he had no ambition to inherit the title of Duke Zhengguo.
He believed that as a man, he had to be indomitable and create his own fate. He should not be proud of a future that was built on the foundation of his family and the protection of his ancestors.
Therefore, after he became the general, he always disdained inheriting the title of Zhengguo Duke.
However, the people of Duke Zhengguo's Manor had been creating trouble, so he wanted to teach them a lesson. He wanted them to see it but not eat it. But one day, he would leave Duke Zhengguo's Manor.
Now that he thought about it, he really had too much hope in them. He thought that they were just being petty. He didn't expect that they wouldn't even acknowledge his mother's identity and would even defile her.
This was something he could not tolerate.
