Chapter 379 - The Truth (6) (1/2)

”Uncle...” Yao Ying started the conversation first even though he was still feeling hesitant. However, he was too curious ah~! Although he knew that curiosity killed the cat, he was still adamant to know everything!

”Hmm...?” Feng Yong Rui asked with a smile on his face.

Yao Ying didn't know why Feng Yong Rui looked so comfortable ah~! Shouldn't he feel guilty or something?

”I heard that you become this kingdom's regent since last night under the Empress' decree. Is it true?” Yao Ying asked seriously. When he found out about it, he was feeling dumbfounded. After all, he didn't see it coming at all! Since the moment he saw Feng Yong Rui, he only thought that the latter was a soft and amiable man --- who knew that he was actually able to become a regent in one-night span?!

Last night, he told Xiu to inquire about the palace's matter. Even though he remembered that they couldn't find out any news from the palace the previous day, he still took a gamble. However, contrary to his expectation, it was actually easy to gain information --- it was like someone was deliberate to make it easier for him to inquire about any news from there. Yao Ying couldn't help but think that this must have been Feng Yong Rui's doing.

However, whether it was really the truth or not, he still needed to confirm it to Feng Yong Rui ah~!

Feng Yong Rui nodded with a smile, admitting it. ”Yes, I am,” he answered.

Qi Hao furrowed his eyebrows when he heard this news and finally, he was able to connect the dots whether he believed or not. His father... as a regent? He would never dream of this before ah~! After all, the Empress was still there... Even though she was one of them, but... who would easily give up a monarch's absolute power?! Especially the royal family...

”Is this your aim all along?” Qi Hao asked softly in disbelief. He glanced at Yao Ying, Yao Ling, and Lin Jian... judging from their look, it seemed like they had already known about it --- or to be exact, guessing about it.

But... why didn't his father tell him? This was the part that made him confused the most. Was it because he didn't trust him? If yes, it really hurt his feelings ah~!

Feng Yong Rui nodded his head once more. ”You guess it right once again! Everything is under my plan, and of course... my control,” Feng Yong Rui answered confidently.

”Why?” Qi Hao asked in a hoarse voice. He was brought up by his father to be righteous and loyal to the kingdom... But, doing this kind of thing? Wasn't it the same as treason?! Honestly, he didn't agree with what his father had done.

Feng Yong Rui could see the dissatisfaction from his son's expression which made him quite helpless, on the other hand, Xiao Fang looked at him as foolishly as before in a mixture of confusion and disbelief. He could see how different both of his children were, however, he still loved them both regardless.

”I have my own reasons,” Feng Yong Rui answered --- even though he didn't feel guilty, he still felt uncomfortable ah~!

”Then, tell me!” Qi Hao slightly raised up his voice.

Feng Yong Rui sighed and asked in a low voice, ”Do you know why your mother turns out this way?” It was lucky that his children had already grown up, it should be fine to tell them at this moment.

Qi Hao looked at Feng Yong Rui in surprise, but honestly, he had never asked this question before. As long as he could remember, his mother was always sick. He thought that it was because of a complication that had happened right after she gave birth to his deceased sister and that was the reason why he had never brought this matter up.

”Isn't mother always like this?” Qi Hao and Xiao Fang asked at the same time.
