Chapter 133: Truth Will Come out Sooner or Later (II)
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
“I noticed that that woman seemed to be in deep love with you... It’s just because you spent two days together when you were kids? At that time, she was at most eight or nine years old, wasn’t she?”
“Yes, she was only eight,” Shi said.
Long’s lips twitched. “What kind of girl was that? She was so precocious. Just because she stayed with you for two days as a kid, she fell in love with you and still keeps you in mind by now?”
Shi blinked. “I don’t know.”
In fact, Shi hid something from Long.
When the little girl’s parents went to the mountain to pick her up, the girl’s mother found that she and Shi’s mother were like old friends from the start, so they wanted to make an engagement for the two little kids... However, Shi’s father was not present back then and engagement needed the consent of both parents, so they didn’t make it. Their parents said that they could get married if destiny brought them together in future.
Shi had long forgotten about this and it just occurred to him when they talked about Wu Xiangyuan. Given Long’s reaction to the whole thing, Shi definitely wouldn’t tell him this part.
Long got jealous when he learned that Wu and Shi had known each other when they were kids. If he knew that they were almost engaged, wouldn’t he be more jealous? No way. He certainly couldn’t know this!
Long didn’t know that his empress was keeping something from him and he was still thinking about the precocity of ancient women.
Since this problem had been solved, Long was in a much better mood. He held Shi’s hand and turned around to face the stone table. Then, he made Shi sit on his laps.
Later, Long buried his face in Shi’s neck.
“Qingzhou... am I being too jealous?” Long asked the question nervously.
In modern times, no one would like such a suspicious and jealous man, right?
Long hadn’t planned to tell Shi that. Anyways, he would be totally fine after being sulky for a while.
However, his empress asked him, so he just said it... Then, he regretted it. He was afraid that his empress would be angry and would feel that he didn’t trust him enough. So he couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.
Knowing that Long was a little nervous, Shi smiled. “Oh really? So you also know that...”
Long curled his lips. He buried his face deep in Shi’s neck and sighed.
Shi was very happy to see Long behaving like this, but he still said, “You should trust me more.”
“Mhmm.” Long nodded at once.
Shi continued, “Besides, don’t always get me wronged.”
Long felt very sorry. “Yes, it’s all my fault.”
The smile on Shi’s face became bigger, but Long didn’t see it.
“Alright, I’ll forgive you this time, but this can’t happen again.”
“Mhmm.” Long nodded.
Shi tried to stop smiling and said seriously, “Alright. Are you hungry now?”
Long looked at the sky and nodded. “Yes.”
“Well, let’s have dinner.”
“Okay.” Long nodded at once.
After dinner, Xu You went to them unsurprisingly.
“Elder brother, what did Fang Shuoyang say to you?” Xu asked directly.
Long looked at him and said, “Come with me.”
Long took Xu to the inner hall. “Didn’t he tell you?”
Xu shook his head. “No, he didn’t. He just said he would go on a long journey after coming back from your place.”
Long sighed. “He’s going to Eastern Darkness.”
“What? Why go there?” Xu was particularly surprised.
Long looked at Xu and smiled bitterly. “You must have guessed it, right?”
Xu fell silent.
Long said softly, “He is not a fool, so he must have guessed who he really is. Since he proposed to go to Eastern Darkness to find out about it, I can’t refuse no matter what, can I?”
Xu did not speak.Read more new novels on
“What’s more, Xu You, I think you can see that it’s not peaceful here at all. It’s not safe for Fang Shuoyang to stay here. On the contrary, he may be safer if he’s in Eastern Darkness.”
Xu’s eyes became a little red. “Elder brother... I know you’re under a lot of pressure... I’ll go with him!”
It seemed that Long had already guessed this result. Looking at Xu, he said, “Are you sure?”
Xu nodded firmly. “Of course I’m sure. I’ll be worried if he goes so far alone. Regardless of life and death, I’ll be with him.”
Long couldn’t help rubbing Xu’s forehead.
“Don’t worry. You will not be the only two people who go there. I will send a lot of guards to go with you. Everything will be fine.”
Xu blinked. “Elder brother... Our purpose is not just to find out Fang Shuoyang’s true identity, right? What else should we do?”
“You want to know?” Long looked at Xu. “Those things can be done by Fang Shuoyang alone. You don’t have to know.”
“No”. Xu shook his head. “I want to know. Elder brother, I don’t like to be kept in the dark. I don’t like that feeling.”
“In that case... Okay, I’ll tell you everything...”
Fang had been waiting for Xu. When Xu came back, Fang hurriedly went to him. “Where have you been?”
Xu pursed his lips slightly. “I’ve gone to see my elder brother.”
After a pause, Fang said nervously, “Why did you go there?”
Xu looked at Fang. “What do you think?”
Fang sighed. “Xu You, you...”
“I know what you’re going to do, and I told elder brother that I would go with you.” Xu interrupted.
“What?” Fang was shocked by the words. “You told him this?”
Xu said, “Mhmm.” Looking at Fang, Xu said calmly, “What? Are you surprised?”
Fang put his hands on Xu’s shoulders. “Don’t come with me. Isn’t it good to stay here? You’ll be safe here and I’ll come back after I finish my business. I...”
“Fang Shuoyang!” Xu interrupted him loudly. “Are you deceiving me or yourself?”
Fang was stunned.
“It’ll be so dangerous. Can you guarantee that you will come back alive? You can’t! How can I rest assured and just stay here to wait for you? Are you not afraid that I’ll find another partner if you don’t come back?”
