"Ah... Sorry, sorry son. Dad felt so happy, that he couldn't control himself" said General Shen Guo Feng in a slightly awkward manner.
But in the depths of his heart he felt bitter because his Son still could not take it back.
"Hmn, how are your troops guarding His Highness the Great Prince's Residence?" shen Yu Lin's question turned her attention away by building a new topic.
General Shen Guo Feng was silent for a moment, only after calming his heart did he overcome the question asked by his son.
"All are safe and can be controlled properly, moreover we are also assisted by the Black Star Mafia who facilitate our work. You also know the current situation, son?" general Shen Guo Feng asked his son Shen Yu Lin
"Hmn, I just want to make sure that our late Mother will get fair justice" Shen Yu Lin said flatly.
"You take it easy, son, your father will do everything he can to fight for justice for your mother and for both of you" General Shen Guo Feng said solemnly.
"Hm," replied Shen Yu Lin briefly who no longer wanted to speak Long Width to their Father.
"Oh yeah Lian'er, can I ask you about one thing?" general Shen Guo Feng asked slowly.
While looking at the official Princess with hopeful eyes and also emanated a very sincere affection from the bottom of the heart of the General Shen Guo Feng.
In addition, there was a great sense of guilt displayed by the War General of the Wuxi Empire.
Xi Lilian, who heard his father's words, remained silent. And after a while, He finally turned his gaze to the Father who also looked at him with mixed feelings.
Not long after, Xi Lilian nodded her head in response and also the answer to her father's question earlier.
While the General Shen Guo Feng who saw his daughter who he had ignored all this time no longer refused to interact with her. He felt an explosion of happiness in his heart.
But he tried to calm himself and his own feelings. So that He would no longer make his daughter again feel the discomfort as before.
And when General Shen Guo Feng had regained his composure, he immediately asked one thing that became a big wedge in his heart.
"Emh... Lian'er, what do you think of the engagement between you and Prince Huo Lin Jin? Are you.." asked the Great General Shen Guo Feng in pieces.
"I will end it" Xi Lilian said briefly.
General Shen Guo Feng felt a little depressed by this attitude of his daughter who clearly could not forgive him.
But apart from that, General Shen Guo Feng now felt more relieved and calm when He heard the answer from the Princess.
Because General Shen Guo Feng knew that the engagement he made was only one of the conspiracies planned by his enemies. So that he did not feel willing if his little Princess would live a restrained life, and also become a pawn on the chessboard of the vile rulers.
"Well, well, that's very good, Dad will definitely help you to get what you want son," the General said with great enthusiasm and almost out of control because of the pleasure that his daughter was able to think openly.
And not like what he's been afraid of all this time.
"..." - ".Xi Lilian was silent giving no response.
But suddenly the General Shen Guo Feng thought of something, so he subconsciously asked his daughter Xi Lilian.
"Lian. Are you sure of your choice, son? Don't you think it'll affect your good name and reputation, son?" asked General Shen Guo Feng.
But he really did not think that it would make the situation again awkward with his official Princess.
"What to think? Have I not lost all that? So what other reputation do I have right now?" reply Xi Lilian with a cynical and sarcastic tone as well as a very cold and sharp look.
And it succeeded in making his father, the General Shen Guo Feng silent, and unable to respond to Xi Lilian's words for a while.
It also made General Shen Guo Feng fall back in deep regret.
Because everything said by his daughter was all the result of his own deeds and his own folly.
Especially when she also remembered every word that Xi Lilian said, her little princess the other day, who revealed all the truth and also her true appearance after experiencing a very cruel series of events, she said, and he even remembers in great detail all the grievances and all the truly inhumane actions his daughter has endured over the past dozen years.
And that was the turning point where he could realize all his mistakes with his eyes open. Which was very painful and felt stabbing deep in his heart until his soul was torn apart.
He remembers everything he did in the past. So that makes his son and daughter wretched and live in suffering that he could not imagine at all.
"I'm sorry, Father Son, it was all because of my mistake, being stupid and incompetent as a good father and husband to you and your late mother. And because of that, now your father's regret has deepened" said General Shen Guo Feng weakly and lowered his head.
Because He felt too ashamed to be able to face the two Sons and Daughters.
Because all that for him is only the past that makes him very disappointed and even He does not want to forgive the actions of Fathers in the past.
Because according to him because of his father's attitude that makes him experience all the bad things and even to death.
And fortunately was, back then it wasn't his soul that occupied this original body. If not, then at this time it is certain that he has long died due to the harsh and inhumane treatment of the damned, who always oppress him, and even all of them deliberately never gave life or resources worthy of little Xi Lilian, which was in fact the soul of her mother, who was forced to undergo all suffering in return. So that resulted in him becoming a famous trash in this entire Wuxi Empire.
And all that was enough for Xi Lilian to feel so let down that she reached such a huge level of hatred like this.
In a moment of silence because no one spoke. Suddenly there was a voice that greeted their sense of hearing.
"Greetings to Father, this Son pays his respects to Father," said Shen Ming An who broke the silence.
"Emh.." Dehem the General Shen Guo Feng while nodding and waving his hand.
As a sign he received the greeting of his second Son.
Shen Ming An who sensed that his father's response was too cold finally circulated a gaze scanning the entire Main Hall.
Until the time came for his eyes to find and see two familiar figures who had disappeared for these few days. This made him understand the situation immediately.
So that he who thinks that his father is currently angry with the two different brothers who have left the residence for some time without permission.
It makes him have an idea, which he thinks will succeed in attracting more sympathy and attention from the father.
"Ah, I'm sorry Gege and Meimei I did not see the whereabouts of the two of you so did not give greetings first. Greetings to both brothers and sisters, it is good to see you return to this General's Residence in a state of good health," said Shen Ming An who now began his action that pretended to care for the two brothers of the mother.
Shen Yu Lin who heard those words from Shen Ming An only frowned and did not reply for a moment.
Xi Lilian was quiet and did not plan to respond to Shen Ming An's words at all.
Because He felt that it would be of no use and would only create other problems that would make him have to waste his energy.
"Emh, Yes." Shen Yu Lin replied briefly and gave no face at all to the Concubine's son.
Shen Ming An who had only gotten such a reaction became so enraged, that he clenched his fists so tightly.
That the current Shen Ming An was already desperate to hit and also kill the two brothers before him.
But he had to hold back all his anger and desire, because his father was here anyway.
In addition, he also still remembers very clearly what bad things have happened to his youngest brother Shen Sie Mei just because of alluding to the problem of Xi Lilian before his father.
So he did not want to repeat and experience the same incident with what was experienced by his youngest sister.
But he also will not give up just like that to be able to drag the two brothers in front of him at this time, into a problem that will make them hated or at least get anger from their Father.
So Shen Ming An went on to provoke Shen Yu Lin as well as Xi Lilian, so that they would get out of control and show their bad side before the Father.
Even Shen Ming An had never thought, if it would just turn around and cause trouble for himself.
As for Xi Lilian who had known the thoughts of Shen Ming An, he could not if not smile cynically and also a terrible grin immediately appeared on his face covered by a veil. so that no one can know.
"The foundation of a foolish and naive human being, whether with such a small plan guava leads us in as big a trouble as you think," inner Xi Lilian with a scornful look at Shen Ming An.
"Gege and Meimei where have you been for the past few days? Why did you two leave without saying goodbye to Ayahanda first? Do you know if all this time Father and also we are very worried about the two of you not coming back for days?! And did you two encounter any difficulties while outside the General's House?" shen Ming An asked with a facial expression that looked extremely worried and also caring.
Yet everyone could also understand, with Shen Ming An's true intentions.
And unfortunately everyone did not care what Shen Ming An had just asked, because they could see with their own eyes that the situation of the two brothers was fine. And it looked even more radiant than before, when they were still living inside the General Family Residence.
"Oh, how could we possibly live out there, The words of this second younger brother are really funny. And of course we live very peacefully and also very happily with a family that always loves us more than anything. Did the second younger brother not see that the performance of the two of us became much better than when we were still in this General Residence that you are proud of," shen Yu Lin's sneer towards Shen Ming An, who had now become speechless with what he said.
Even General Shen Guo Feng became distressed, after hearing the statement uttered by his Eldest Son.
And He also thought that during these past few days the two sons and also his daughter had been living with the Wexia Imperial Family.
Because he also remembered that the current status of the two sons and also his daughter was the adopted son of Crown Prince Xi Mo Han. Which he is his oldest brother-in-law.
