Vol 8 Chapter 58 (2/2)

It’s a bit weird to say this now, but from the beginning till now, I’ve not seen a single guard or attendant. Even though Liu Biao told Liao Hua and Guan Ping to hand over their weapons, I don’t recall seeing any attendants pick them up.

Could it be that Liu Biao doesn’t actually care about his safety? Or are there actually a lot of guards present but that I can’t see them?

I looked at Liu Biao but it didn’t look like this was the case.

The big door opened with a creak. As we entered, the room was indeed every bit as big and s.p.a.cious as it looked from the outside. Unlike my initial observations however, there were indeed annex rooms. They just couldn’t be seen from the outside.

“Blood brother, this is the room I sleep in most frequently. That side is where I sleep with my lady while the other side were where my 2 daughters sleep in originally but they’ve moved out now that they have grown up.”

“So that’s how it was huh?”

I was rather surprised to hear that they lived together in the beginning.

I looked about and felt that the reason why the room was so s.p.a.cious was because it used to house 2 children. When I looked at the roof, I found that there were ink marks on the rafters which were not too high up. Some were words while others were drawings.

Though I don’t have any proof for this, I believe that Liu Cong and Liu Qi may have got along rather well in their childhood.

“About how old were my nieces when they first moved out?” I asked when this question arose in my mind.

“Un? Is blood brother interested in this?” Liu Biao was rather surprised which made me think that I said something wrong and was about to apologise when Liu Biao said with a wry smile, “Ah, do you mean to ask how I raised my children?”

“No, that’s not what I meant.”

“No no no, no need to hide anything from me. Could it be that one of your generals is pregnant?”

“No, it’s nothing like what elder brother is thinking.”

(Mother has been complaining about backache and pain in her legs lately.)

(So that’s what it is huh…)

Ah, Guan Ping, can you not give such comments without any basis to Liao Hua. My relations.h.i.+p with Yun Chang is still rather wholesome and proper.

… Though I have slept with her and Yi De once before, I am not going to talk about that until Yi De regains her memories again.

And for some reason, Liu Biao is being especially mischievous today.

“Please elder brother, stop making fun of your younger brother…” I was beginning to turn red and slowly sat down at the second seat beside Liu Biao.

“Alright, I’ll stop making fun of you now.” Liu Biao blinked and sighed deeply, “Ah, now that I think about it, it’s been a while now. Liu Qi first moved out when she went to study in the military. At the same time, I also let Liu Cong move out. She should be living with Cai Mao now.”

“By the way, why did you have to have them move out? Isn’t it fine to let them stay with their father?”

“As the descendents of the royal family, they must bear their fair share of hards.h.i.+ps.” Liu Biao said somewhat melancholically, “Of course I wish to stay with my daughters. But I must also remember who I am. As a direct descendent of the royal family, my offspring bear the same responsibility I do. When I was a child, my father treated me the same way and as for me, I have to do the same to Qi’er and Cong’er.”
