Chapter 601 - More Happy Than SadChapter 601: More Happy Than Sad
Lu Liangwei darted a look at him. “Why? Are you sad for her, Father?”
Lu Hetian looked at her helplessly. “Of course not. It’s just that I’ve made a promise to your mother to kill Madam Zheng. I haven’t even done that and she is already dead. I…I made a promise to your mother and yet I couldn’t keep it. I feel so sorry for your mother.”
Lu Liangwei was silent for a while before replying, “Actually, Mother was just testing you. Even if you did not kill Madam Zheng, she would take your promise to heart as long as you are willing to do it for her sake. Besides, with Mother’s martial arts skills, she could have taken Madam Zheng’s life if she wanted to. Mother does not care about doing anything to Madam Zheng, but if you’re willing to kill her for Mother’s sake, it would mean that Mother is more important to you than anything in the world. Even if she does not forgive you immediately, she does not really hate you so much now.”
Now, Lu Liangwei truly believed that her father had no feelings whatsoever for Madam Zheng.
Lu Hetian looked delighted when he heard this. “Did your mother say that to you?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLu Liangwei did not want to disappoint him, but she had to be truthful. “No, Mother didn’t say that to me. It’s just my guess.”
Lu Hetian was slightly disappointed as the look in his eyes dimmed a little.
Lu Liangwei noticed the look in his eyes and tried to console him. “Father, you don’t need to feel so sad now. I think Mother refuses to forgive you mainly because of Madam Zheng. Unfortunately, now that Madam Zheng is dead, we won’t be able to find out about the truth all those years ago.”
Lu Hetian felt slightly hopeful when he heard this. He looked at Lu Liangwei curiously and asked, “What truth would that be?”
Lu Liangwei initially wanted to keep the truth from him when she saw how anxious he was, but he was so concerned about her mother that Lu Liangwei had no choice but to reveal her guess about the truth.
“…Of course, that is just my guess. As for what the truth really is, no one really knows. The only person who was able to prove it was Madam Zheng, and she’s now dead.”
Lu Hetian frowned as he went silent before finally saying, “Are you saying that Shuang’er might not be my daughter?”
Lu Liangwei observed the look on his face. She was not entirely sure how her father felt about Lu Yunshuang. He had never treated Lu Yunshuang badly all these years. Even though he was not as loving to her compared to the original host of Lu Liangwei’s body, he was still good to Lu Yunshuang.
If Lu Yunshuang was not his real daughter, would he be sad?
Lu Liangwei gave this some thought and asked, “Father, if Big Sis was not your biological daughter, would you feel sad?”
Lu Hetian snapped from his thoughts and his gaze fell on Lu Liangwei. “I’ve taken care of her for more than ten years, after all. If she isn’t really your sister, I…”
“I understand.” Lu Liangwei stopped him from finishing his words.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe had cared for Lu Yunshuang for more than ten years. Even if he did not love her that much, her father would still feel a tinge of sadness.
“Father, there’s no need to think too much into this. This is just my assumption, after all.”
Lu Hetian’s lips moved a little when he heard this. He wanted to say that he would be more happy than sad because if Lu Yunshuang was not his daughter because Lihua’s hatred for him might lessen in that case.
However, he could not say this in front of Weiwei. If he did, Weiwei might think of him as being a selfish and unfeeling person.
He was not willing to tarnish his image in Weiwei’s heart.
He finally nodded. “Alright.”
Lu Liangwei sighed as she stood up to say, “Father, if there’s nothing else, I’ll return to the Palace.”
With that, she tucked Lu Hetian in and instructed him sternly, “Father, never do anything stupid again in the future. Otherwise, Grandmother, big brother and I will be very sad.”
Lu Hetian’s face turned slightly red when he heard this. He was already so old, and yet he was a constant worry to his elderly mother and children.
“Alright,” he nodded with some embarrassment.
