Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qian Jin trembled and opened his mouth. “Father…”
His dry mouth moved, tearing apart the bloodied lips. He had not spoken for a long time. Now that he spoke again, his voice was hoarse, like an extremely old horse.
Liu Sanniang continued. “He taught you how to be strong and independent. He was very strict. You rarely saw him smile. At times, you suspected whether he really loved you or not. You had also done many bad things to anger him, but he seemed to know what was on your mind. He took you to the casino. He’s like a god figure in your eyes. He won buckets of money but you lost everything. You were indignant and unwilling to leave.”
“He just smiled and took you to see a gambler. You watched as the gambler returned home and punched and kicked his wife and daughter like a monster. He beat his wife and daughter until their faces were swollen and they cried miserably. For the first time, you felt lost. He asked you what it meant to be a man. You told him that being a man meant never gambling or hitting women.”
“He smiled and took you to a poor alley to eat noodles. He also took you to the most luxurious restaurant to taste the delicacies. He is the god in your eyes. You followed him around and saw places where food, clothing, and clothes were ample. You have also seen places where people were starving to death. He wanted you to read more and strengthen your body. He told you that being an official means that one has to protect the commoners in the Xia Dynasty. He also told you that being a man meant that one has to be responsible and aim high instead of indulging in gambling and hitting one’s wife.”
“He taught you to move forward in the face of any obstacle. Don’t be afraid.”
“He never told you he loved you, but he taught you how to be a good person. His fatherly love for you is in his teachings. Do you feel it?”
Liu Sanniang led Qian Jin to recall the warm memories of his past.
Qian Jin looked at Liu Sanniang, as if he could see the person he wanted to see the most through her. Tears streamed down his face, and his lips trembled. “Father.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Qian Jin. “Try to remember the memories you’ve forgotten.”
Qian Jin was at a loss. What had he forgotten?
Liu Sanniang’s strength was strong as it wrapped around Qian Jin. He immediately revealed a painful expression. His face was extremely twisted. His lips were torn and bleeding, and a strange sound came from his throat.
Wei Shilai could not help but feel nervous.
When the guards saw that Qian Jin looked like he was about to die, they immediately wanted to stop Liu Sanniang. From what they could see, Liu Sanniang did not do anything. From the beginning to the end, she only grabbed Qian Jin’s wrist and said a few words.
They wanted to stop Liu Sanniang, but Chu Yan reached out to stop them expressionlessly. The guard in the lead frowned. “Sir, please stop her immediately. Young Master Qian’s life is at risk.”
The guard was a little shocked. If Chu Yan had not stood up to stop him, he would not have noticed that there was a stranger here. This realization made him feel very bad. If the Third Prince found out that he failed to mention the extra person during the report, he would die.
However, he really didn’t notice Chu Yan. If he didn’t stand out, no one would have noticed him.
“Woof, woof…”
A huge black dog walked out from behind Chu Yan. Its huge body instantly gave people a sense of pressure.
The guards were shocked. Why was there a gigantic dog here?
General Black walked steadily to Chu Yan’s side and looked up at him. He nudged Chu Yan’s leg with his head and stared at the guards coldly.
The aura of a ferocious beast made one’s heart tremble. When they met General Black’s dark and cold eyes, their hearts tightened.
Chu Yan’s voice was cold as he said expressionlessly, “General Black is very protective of his owner, and his temper is not good.”
General Black looked at the guard and snarled, revealing its sharp fangs and barbs to everyone.
The guard gave a gasp of horror. He suppressed his panic and said to Chu Yan, “Sir, we don’t have any ill intentions. We’re just worried about Young Master Qian’s health.”
Qian Jin’s body was trembling. He seemed to want to break free from Liu Sanniang’s grip, but he couldn’t. He was in a lot of pain. He was already skinny and looked like his bones would break at any time.
In people’s eyes, Qian Jin was an extremely fragile person.
Chu Yan ignored him with a cold expression.
It was obvious that if the guards wanted to stop Liu Sanniang, they had to get past Chu Yan and the dog first.
The guards looked at Wei Shilai. “Minister Wei, you should know that Young Master Qian is very weak and can’t hold on for much longer.”
They couldn’t stop Liu Sanniang, but Wei Shilai definitely could.
Wei Shilai said, “I’m sorry, I believe Miss Liu knows what to do.”
Qian Jin looked like he was about to pass out. The guard asked with a frown. “Young Master Qian’s body is already at the end of its rope. If anything happens to him, can you bear the consequences?”
Wei Shilai said calmly, “I’ll bear the consequences.”
The guard’s eyes darkened. He stopped talking and stared at Liu Sanniang without blinking.
Qian Jin seemed to have used all his strength and no longer had the power to struggle. He opened his mouth to draw in deep breaths, looking extremely terrifying.
Liu Sanniang finally found the memories that had been hidden deep inside.
February 8th.
After Qian Jin returned from the training ground, he did not return to his courtyard directly. Instead, he went to the main courtyard. He was wearing a blue robe and had a jade crown on his head. He looked like a high-spirited young man.
He walked briskly in and said, “Father, I’m back.”
Qian Rangli was wearing casual clothes. He casually took a weapon from the weapon rack and threw it at Qian Jin. He instructed sternly. “Come, let me check how much you’ve progressed.”
Qian Jin replied with a smile. “Okay.”
After grabbing the weapon, he fought with Qian Rangli. As the Minister of War, Qian Rangli was good at both martial arts and literature. He naturally had high expectations of his only son.
Qian Jin’s moves were ever-changing, and he actually managed to tie with Qian Rangli. However, in the end, he still lost. Qian Rangli defeated him with a sneak attack.
