The Princess And The Lord

The room becomes pin drop silence, Sanguan Jin Seng stern face drained from color he used to be calm and stoic but now he unable to control his expression, his jaw hang loose as he tried to speak but no words could come out. There is no question the news shocks him to the core, even Sanguan Liu Wei hands can't stop trembling and his eyes bulged widely his eyeballs looks almost fall from its socket.

Zhao Li Xin remains indifferent while Jin Hao sips his wine calmly both of them feign ignorance with the Sanguan father and son's strong reaction, Zhao Li Xin purposed is to stir the situation and to see their reaction however he is not expected their big reaction. The rumor said Qin Mu Yi betray sanguan Jin sheng and running with her illegitimate Son but judging by their reaction the matter is not that simple, there something more…

"You seem to know her, master Sanguan?" Zhao Li Xin casually asks. His voice is calm and indifferent is nothing like someone who asks about the death of his own mother.

Sanguan Jin Sheng taken back, he clear his throat to calmed his nerves "I…I knew her once, She is my wife…but she has done something unspeakable and run with her bastard child and I don't know about her ever since" he still on a daze when he speaks to Zhao Li Xin.

"That woman is despicable!" sanguan Liu Wei hit the chair armrest until it broke "She betray my son then she becomes pregnant with another man child and when we know what happened she runaway with that bastard child, she not even ashamed to steals money from my house before she left!" The old man spits as anger welled up in his chest.

"Father please calmed down" Sanguan Jin Sheng sigh then shakes his head helplessly "This is also my negligence that everything becomes like this" he looked down in grief and sadness then he looked at Zhao Li Xin anxiously "Is she still alive, how is she?"

"Why do you need to know, that woman got nothing to do with you!" Sanguan Liu Wei shouted angrily.

"Father…she still my wife" he looks hopeless facing his father's anger then he looked at Zhao Li Xin again "What about her son?" his voice slightly deepened something flash in his eyes but only for a second but is not escape Zhao Li Xin keen eyes.

Zhao Li Xin rubs his hand together, he could feel the anticipation from both Sanguan father and son. Zhao Li Xin feel odd for the two head patriarch interested with other people Son, normally as a man even if you still in love with the woman you will strongly reject another man child especially a chauvinist and proudful man like Sanguan Jin Sheng.

Zhao Li Xin would not believe he will overlook this matter because he still in love with Qin Mu Yi, if he does he will not order to kill the whole Qin clan leaving no one to spare not even the children. Someone like Sanguan Jin Sheng incapable to love anyone, he will not believe it.

"Actually the one who contacts me is Miss Qin's son," said Zhao Li Xin.

Their expression gets harden, Sanguan Jin Sheng eyes flickered and the corner of his mouth lifts slightly, Zhao Li Xin squint his eyes he doesn't understand why Sanguan Jin Sheng looks happy, is he know that the child was actually his then why he slaughtered the Qin clan, is it a mistake? If he doesn't know that his son still alive then who was order noble consort Yin to poisoned him?

"Can I see him?" Sanguan Jin Sheng exclaimed a second later he realizes he overly excited which is very weird. He straightens his back then cough a few times awkwardly "I mean…I have wronged him, I was…."

"Killed his whole maternal family clan?" Zhao Li Xin quipped.

Sanguan Jin Sheng paused "At that time Qin Mu Yi is having affair with one of her cousin from Qin family and her family knows that but they not stop her they even help her to hide the matters from me, I got angry…which man who doesn't?" he let out a heavy sigh then continue "I was consumed by anger and that happened but I can't hurt Qin Mu Yi so I was intended to forgive her and her child but then she runaway….I send people to search for her but no avail, I thought they die" Sanguan Jin sheng lower his head while clenching his fist in sorrow.

"Hump, that is not your fault because of that your reputation is ruined even until now people still make a joke about it!" Sanguan Liu Wei mouth quiver with anger.

Sanguan Jin Sheng shakes his head "But I should not slaughter the whole Qin family, no wonder Mu Yi didn't want to see me" he said in deep remorse.

"Master Long Ming, can you tell me where is Qin Mu Yi right now, I want to apologize to her?" he pleads earnestly towards Zhao Li Xin.

"I don't know master sanguan, secrecy is always my policy and Miss Qin's request is for me never reveal her location," said Zhao Li Xin.

Sanguan Jin Sheng looks annoyed but he able to maintain his expression and mood "Can you reassured her, I mean no harmed and what about her son, can I see her son I want to apologize he must have a hard life because of me, please give me a chance to explain myself" sanguan Jin sheng look sincere however Zhao Li Xin was not convinced.

Zhao Li Xin takes a deep breath he hit his knee and rise from his chair "I'll see what I can do, but I won't make a promise" he clasped his hand behind his back as he prepares to leave.

"I understand, thank you in advance master long Ming" sanguan Jin Sheng amicably smile.

Zhao Li Xin nod slightly then turn around and leave and Jin Hao follow behind him but suddenly Sanguan Jin Sheng call again "Master Long Ming!"

Zhao Li Xin stopped he turn around in motion, Sanguan Jin Sheng asks again "The map… is it on Qin Mu Yi's son's hand?"

"Yes," he replies shortly then flick his robes and left the room calmly. Well, he is not lying the map does in his hand and he is Qin Mu Yi's son.

When Zhao Li Xin left the expression of sanguan Jin sheng instantly change, he back to his rigid and cold expression, he look Sanguan Liu Wei gritted his teeth exasperatedly "That bit*h still alive" he scoffed in disdain.

On the contrary, Sanguan Liu Wei expression turn calmed he doesn't look as furious as before "But her son is alive" he smirked deviously "That means we finally able to continue with our old plan"

"How? That child should loathe me right now" Sanguan Jin sheng feel perplexed, that child was raised by Qin Mu Yi must be taught her son to hate him and all Sanguan clan so how could they rope him to their side.

Sanguan Liu hate to agree with his Son, everything is gone haywire when Qin Mu Yi runaway "We can figure it out something after you meet him"

Sanguan Jin Sheng hots the table loudly "I can't believe I've been fooled all these years!" he was boiling with rage, if only he could raise that child since he was a baby it would be easier for him control that child in the future but now that child is already grown up Sanguan Jin Sheng was not sure he can control that child.

"Let me deal with that, you concentrate to get that child and the map, this is a miracle we finally able to put our plan back on track, and no more mistake this time" the old man warned his son.

"Yes, father….what about Wu Ci, should we told him about this, soon or later he would become the next patriarch"

The old man raised his hand "No, I have a plan…we can use the patriarch position to lure that child" the old man scratched his chin while he contemplates.

"You want to make that child as the next patriarch?" Sanguan Jin Sheng was stunned he shows disapproval on his face, compare to sanguan Wu Ci that was raised by him he like Sanguan Wu Ci more.

"Not for real…" Sanguan Liu Wei waves his hand "We need to show our��I mean your sincerity to that child, make him assume that you truly care and love him for, for not make him suspicious I will become the opposing side and your job is to defy me so it would move that child's heart, do whatever you need to gain that child trust only then we can run our plan" the old man sneer slyly.

Sanguan Jin Sheng beamed "Then we can use that thing to control him" evil grinned apparent on his face, his eyes filled with greed and viciousness that can make anyone who saw it shiver to their bone

In the meantime, Zhao Li Xin is walking with Jin Hao while the male servants escort them back to where the banquet is. While walking side by side Jin Hao whisper at Zhao Li Xin "What is your plan Milord" Jin Hao's voice is very faint if not because Zhao Li Xin high-cultivation he wouldn't hear him even though he stands next to Jin Hao.

Zhao Li Xin sneers "I just smoke the hole to see what came out…."

Jin Hao was amused then he chuckles lightly.
