After ten days,
Feng Li and Yu Xin were living happily and dating each other. Even though Feng Li was going on dates and falling in love with his little bunny, he still didn't forget to collect more shreds of evidence of rebels. And during these days, he collected many pieces of evidence. The evidence was enough to clean out an entire team of rebels, whether the left prime minister or the male lead, Jing Tian.
Despite the lack of evidence, the emperor still has the power to behead the rebels, and all of them are aware it will cause a stir among the courtiers and ministers. Hence, getting enough amount of evidence was important for Feng Li to bring down rebellions.
Feng Li already sent General Yu a letter to return to the capital city before rebellions get any clue. Today was the day, General Yu came back from the frontiers.
Feng Li also tried to find out how Yu Xin was in his room that day but found nothing. But soon Feng Li kicked out the idea of finding out the reason. He also believed in his baby so he had no fear.
Here Feng Li had no fear but General Yu didn't know his wife was in the capital city. His life would change, and no one knows whether the change would be a disaster or a blessing.
Feng Li and Yu Xin were in the study room. Yu Xin was sitting on Feng Li's lap and lying down on Feng Li's chest. Feng Li was reading a storybook to him. Until the housekeeper came to him and reported the arrival of General Yu. Feng Li nodded, saying, "Let General Yu come here."
The housekeeper nodded and left to bring General Yu.
Yu Xin heard 'General Yu' and asked, "Feng Li, who is this person?"
Even though by the name, he can be sure this 'General Yu' was related to the army, the last name 'Yu' made him curious. His dad told him that his scumbag father had the last name 'Yu'.
Feng Li heard his question, and answered, "He is the person with whom I went to war and he is also like a teacher to me."
Yu Xin nodded understandingly. He didn't know why but his heart had a little hatred toward this person, maybe it was because of the last name.
Knowing a person was coming to the study room, he tried to get up from Feng Li's lap but Feng Li's hand on his waist held him tightly.
Yu Xin patted Feng Li's hand helplessly, and said, "Let me get up, your guest will come here."
Feng Li smiled while stating, "Are you shy, baby?"
Yu Xin immediately responded, "I'm not shy but it will be disgraceful to be like this in front of the guest."
Feng Li sighed regretfully and let Yu Xin get up from his lap.
Feng Li knew Yu Xin was about to leave the room and said, "Baby, you don't have to go anywhere."
Yu Xin was about to deny but before he could say anything, Feng Li already said, "Baby, I believe you."
Yu Xin smiled slightly and sat down beside Feng Li again.
Soon General Yu entered the study room. He saw the crown prince and a beautiful person beside him; who looked similar to his wife. He was astonished and kept staring at Yu Xin.
Seeing this Feng Li frowned and glared at General Yu. General Yu still didn't pay attention to him and was standing like a statue and looking with contemplation.
Feng Li's anger rose. Even though General Yu was like a teacher to him but he still couldn't bear anyone staring at his baby blatantly. At last, Feng Li called out, "General Yu!"
General Yu came to his senses and coughed lightly in shame. He was not staring at the person because he felt attraction or something. He was stunned because this person looked a lot like his wife.
General Yu stopped staring at Yu Xin and asked, "Feng Li, who is this person?"
Feng Li answered, "My wife."
General Yu nodded and asked Yu Xin, "Uh, kid, do you know a person named An Nuo?"
Yu Xin squinted his eyes and answered, "No."
General Yu acknowledged, even though he had a gut feeling saying, this kid was lying.
Feng Li saw Yu Xin staring at General Yu intensely. His heart was filled with jealousy. He thought, 'What's so good about this old man? This old man has weak bones and he is not as handsome as me.'
But he didn't show any expressions, saying, "General Yu, we were supposed to talk about rebels."
General Yu nodded. His hands rubbed his beard and queried, "Tell me your plan."
Feng Li's eyes narrowed, and his forefinger tapped on the table, explaining, "I'm planning to hunt down all the untamed beasts; the faster the better."
General Yu raised his lips, "This is the moment I've been waiting for. For so many years, I waited to take revenge."
General Yu remembered too well; he was conspired by the left prime minister. He was in the market to buy a surprise for his wife. Taking advantage of his absence, the left minister sent a person with a face mask. The person had the same face as him because of the mask. The person created the situation as if he, General Yu cheated on his wife.
General Yu knew nothing and he was happily buying the surprise. By the time, he came home it was already evening and his beloved wife, who always greeted him, didn't show up in front of him. He thought, his wife was angry at him because he didn't spend time with him. He smiled, thinking, 'My wife is so adorable, he is angry at me because I didn't spend time with him.'
But who knew, he entered the room and saw his wife looking at him expressionlessly. He went to him and said, "Wife, I brought something for you."
General Yu was about to show his surprise; his wife shouted at him hoarsely, "What do you want now?! Leave me alone!"
General Yu thought An Nuo was angry at him but before he said anything, An Nuo eyes filled with tears of misery faced General Yu's worried eyes.
General Yu's heart was in pieces every time he remembered those eyes. He wanted to slap himself. He should have explained to An Nuo. He should've not waited for An Nuo's anger to calm down. He not only broke An Nuo's heart because of this misunderstanding.
Feng Li saw his sad eyes and sighed. He didn't understand why General Yu didn't take any revenge till now.
As if knowing what Feng Li was thinking, General Yu, answered, "How can I take revenge so easily, even though I was young at that time I knew taking any step hastily would cause harm and they could even try to hurt my wife."
Feng Li nodded and asked, "Why did they try to harm your wife?"
General Yu frowned, "They wanted me to marry his sister. They knew I loved my wife very much and I would not marry her. But they wanted to increase their power and all of this happened."
Feng Li and General Yu were talking, but Yu Xin frowned slightly. After hearing the questions and their chat, Yu Xin knew General Yu was his scumbag father. He felt helpless and didn't know what to do. He always felt his father was truly a scumbag but it turns out everything was a misunderstanding. But he still can't forgive his father so easily, his dad suffered for so many years.
Feng Li saw him frowning, he became worried, "Baby, are you feeling unwell?"
Yu Xin shook his head, answering, "I'm all right. You continue your talk."
Feng Li raised his hand and touched Yu Xin's forehead lightly to check his temperature. He removed his hand after confirming; Yu Xin was not having a fever.
General Yu saw their actions and his eyes twitched.
He thought that if his wife was able to give birth, the baby would take after Yu Xin. But he didn't care because he was devoted to An Nuo and it made no difference to him if he couldn't conceive.
The time passed by, Feng Li and General Yu looked at each other and smiled.
