The Princess And The Lord

After a few times coaxing and pleading Zhao Li Xin finally agrees to return to Sanguan Manor. Sanguan Jin sheng is vexed because he must lower himself in front of Zhao Li Xin but at the same time, he feel relief that Zhao Li Xin agrees to come home, after this, he can slowly buttering up his son and gain Zhao Li Xin trust.

Sanguan Jin Sheng convinces no matter how stubborn Zhao Li Xin was deep down he must be longing for a father figure and eager to make a connection whether he realizes it or not. Sanguan Jin Sheng is certain because that is human nature after all to seeking comfort with their own kin. 

He is confident soon or later he would able to control Zhao Li Xin even if he can't there still other options are given by Lao Min Na, he hopes he doesn't have to go that far, he reluctant to owed Lao Min Na more than he already did.

as a pure chauvinist male Sanguan Jin Sheng hates the idea to depends on a woman especially someone like Lao Min Na, there something about that woman that make his skin crawl. He never feel comfortable whenever they stay in the same room.

Zhao Li Xin then asked for his request is to bring Mong Liu with him because the sanguan family already saw Mong Ki and Mong Yi face so it's better to bring someone unrecognizable, moreover, he is not in hurry to reveal his identity yet, not until he is sure that sanguan family has the other piece of the map, and their knowledge about the sword and the first king also why they need him so bad.

However, there is a bit problem with Lao Min Na who knows about his identity but his guts telling him that Lao Min Na will not reveal his identity, why? Because she is opportunist and greedy bit*h, that's why.

Zhao Li Xin is certain that Lao Min Na would take this opportunity to gain benefit for herself, he won't be surprised she might try to offer a momentary truce.

Oh well, he just needs to be patient and avoid Lao Min Na for a few days, it shouldn't be hard because he heard that Lao Min Na confined herself in her courtyard and rarely went outside after what happened that day.

He had been wondering if Lao Min Na was hurt during the last fight after she possessed by the demon, could it be some kinda backlash, if it does.....she got what she deserved.

Meantime at the carriage, Sanguan Wu Ci observed Zhao Li Xin's behavior. He feel frustrated with how calmed and indifferent Zhao Li Xin was. He told himself that Zhao Li Xin only pretends to be calm but why he didn't show a slight change in his eyes, not even a little.

his expression remains the same since the moment he enters the carriage, there are no worries, anxiety, or even slightly anticipatory as someone whose life is about to reach the turning point.

Through all the way his sublime expression give away nothing his eyes like a cold dark night without stars, it make Sanguan Wu Ci uncomfortable, however, he feel the eyes seems familiar but he can't recall where did he saw it, he struggles to call his memory suddenly Sanguan Jin sheng speak in mild tone "We arrive!"

Sanguan Jin Sheng sudden voice awakened sanguan Wu Ci from his deep thought. The memory he painstakingly gathers in his mind suddenly dissipated like smoke, he feel annoyed but has no one to blame, he can only swallow his irritation before he got out of the carriage. 

Zhao Li Xin walks behind Sanguan Jin Sheng while Sanguan Wu Ci deliberately walks next to him as he continues his observation of his long-lost half-brother.

sanguan Wu ci can't stop his wariness, even though he is certain that Zhao Li Xin is not a threat for him but something within him feel restless, the more he got close to him the warier he becomes. He doesn't know why he feel this way and why he keeps thinking he had met Zhao Li Xin before.

Zhao Li Xin is not a good actor, unlike most people who can utter lie without batting their eyelashes and pretend to be something that they were not, Zhao Li Xin never good at that.

The reason he able to fools everyone at the Jiang Wei Kingdom is that because they are treating him like air and no one pays attention to him, he also voluntarily isolate himself so fewer people ever saw him. Consort Ying also treats him like an eyesore, she never asked him to come if not necessary and the emperor also outcasts him, that's why Zhao Li Xin never needs to pretend all the time.

An observant like Sanguan Wu Ci who had encounter Zhao Li Xin twice should realize that Lu Xin and Zhao Li Xin is the same person or at least suspicious 'what if' they are the same person, however, his ego got better of from him.

He can't accept the possibility that Lu Xin and Zhao Li Xin is the same person because that means he has to admit that his prodigal brother is better than him, and not only that he also has to accept the fact that his half-brother has better in talent, strength, authority, fame, wealth and many more not to mention that mean Lu Xin is that woman husband.

How could an arrogant and narcissistic man like Sanguan Wu Ci accept this reality, that's why he subconsciously push aside that possibility.

Zhao Li Xin is welcome by the whole Sanguan family including the elders, the wife, children, and also Sanguan Jin Sheng concubines, everyone was dumbfounded especially the women they face suddenly turn to crimson when they saw Zhao Li Xin flawless beauty, some widen their eyes until their eyeball looks like it almost falls from its socket while other women blink their eyes repeatedly as if they thought they are dreaming.

Their mind-blowing reaction irked sanguan Jin Sheng very much, he felt his presence reduce to nothing in front of Zhao Li Xin, this is the first time none of his concubines pay attention to him.

Sanguan Jin sheng deliberately cough to awake everyone from their daze. They all startled and soon realize how inappropriate their behavior was they quickly compose themselves and avert their gaze from the beautiful man to the floor, there is an anonymous agreement between them it's better to look down so they can avoid staring at the beautiful man, they afraid they can't control themself.

But there is one person who didn't impress by Zhao Li Xin look and that person is Zi Yi Ru, rage flowed through her like lava as he stares at Zhao Li Xin, the man is very much like her husband but the temperament he exudes similar with that woman, she hated how much he resembles sanguan Jin Sheng if only Zhao Li Xin has different appearance she could spread the rumor that he is not sanguan Jin Sheng Son however their resemblance is so apparent that no one can deny that they are father and Son.

"Who is that man, why he looks like father very much, is he father illegitimate Son?" Sanguan Li Ye pull Zi Yi Ru sleeve.

"Ssh, quiet!" Zi Yi Ru who is in bad mood reprimand her daughter with an upset look.

Sanguan Li Ye press her lip into a thin line, she didn't understand why her mother so angry, she just asks and she sure she is not the only one, she returns her gaze to the stranger who came out of nowhere, although he looks like his father, but the man countenance is more exquisite and refined just like a flawless jade, it's undeniable the man is so beautiful he looks like someone who goes out from the painting.

"Welcome home Lu Xin" Sanguan Liu Wen patted Zhao Li Xin's shoulder and smiles warmly, obviously he is in a good mood.

Zhao Li Xin mile faintly "Thank you grandfather" he replies politely.

"Everyone this is Lu Xin, My son with Qin Mu Yi from today on he will stay with us: said Sanguan Jin sheng.

They are flabbergasted, who didn't know about Qin Mu Yi, isn't she run away with her lover and offspring how could her son suddenly appear didn't everyone said they are dead. Everyone exchange confuses glance they don't understand why Sanguan Jin sheng brought that shameless woman home, is he not afraid everyone criticizes him.

"If he is Qin Mu Yi son, how could we know he is part of sanguan family, what if he is Qin Mu Yi basta*d son?" suddenly someone voice everyone thought loudly.

"SHUT UP!" Sanguan Jin sheng anger spiked is not easy to coax this wretched Son to come home, what if he got angry and decide to leave, what happened with his grand plan?!

The young man who asked recklessly is Sanguan Wu Hao, the second young master of the Sanguan family, he is born from concubines and spoiled rotten by her mother, he grew up as a typical spoil rich brat unlike sanguan Wu Ci who is more cunning and sly Sanguan Wu Hao is more honest and naïve.

Sanguan Wu Hao has instant hatred towards Zhao Li Xin the moment he saw him, is not hard enough to live under Sanguan Wu Ci shadow now he suddenly have a big brother who pop out of nowhere and Zhao Li Xin remarkable beauty only at salt to the wound, he is so jealous he really wants to rip that face apart.

"But I say the truth, other people would ask about it too…." He mutters quietly after he berated by his father.

"Are you blind, can you see how much we look alike, of course, Lu Xin is my biological son!" Sanguan Jin Sheng takes a stance to help Zhao Li Xin he sure his son would be touch by his action.

Meanwhile, Zhao Li Xin's mouth twitch slightly 'Stop equating me to you!'

"Wu Hao is not wrong husband, with sister Qin reputation do you think people would let this matter slide, how could a man accept his adulterous wife son, this boy also lives outside for so long who knows what he's doing outside what if he implicated sanguan family reputation, what would happen to our children reputation especially Li Ye, she already at marriageable age what would people think about her, haven't you think about your other children?" Zi Yu Ru complaint incessantly as she vents her grievance, she hated how much Sanguan Jin Sheng care for Lu Xin, is that because he is Qin Mu Yi's son?

Anger flooded her veins, Qin Mu Yi's beautiful face suddenly came to her mind remind her how inferior she was compared to Qin Mu Yi. 

"Zi Yi Ru, who give you the guts to talk to me like that, do you think I would hesitate to punish you when you cross my line? remember, you still owed me an explanation of what happened that year!" he screams at his wife, his bloodshot eyes bored at Zi Yi Ru figure. What he hated the most is a woman who didn't know her place, he hated it when women talks back at him or voice her thought without his consent, Sanguan Jin Sheng only woman who is beautiful, sensible, and obedient.

Zi Yi Ru realizes she had made terrible mistakes, her anger make her muddlehead she forgot to control her temperament. Zi Yi Ru born as a haughty woman but because Sanguan Jin Sheng like an obedient and gentle woman she turns herself into his liking and she able to maintain her façade for twenty-five years, but today she is too angry she accidentally leaked her true colors.

"I…..I'm sorry, I just worry for our children, that's all" she timidly said while lowering her head submissively.

Sanguan Jin Sheng's anger decreased slightly after Zi Yi Ru submit herself, "Mind your manner, I won't forgive you next time" he scoffed.

"Thank you husband..." she answers meekly.

Sanguan Wu Ci sighs inwardly, he doesn't understand how his smart and sensible mother make this kinda blunder, she only met Qin Mu Yi's son for a few minutes she already can't control her behavior.

Sanguan Wu Ci shifts his gaze at Zhao Li Xin to inquire about his reaction, strangely Zhao Li Xin's expression remains the same as his expression devoid of any feeling as if everything happened is not related to him.

Sanguan Wu Ci is right, Zhao Li Xin really thought this has nothing to do with him.
