Chapter 380 - The Truth (7) (1/2)

”So... you are actually using us...?” Yao Ying asked. He didn't blame the man, but he still felt uncomfortable nonetheless. They deemed themselves as clever youngsters, but under the sly old fox's plan and arrangement, they felt so stupid ah~!

Feng Yong Rui laughed and answered them without feeling any guilt whatsoever, ”How could you say that? The fact is... all of you were helping me ah~! Without your plan, I didn't think I would be able to achieve my revenge. Besides, I never coerced you to plan revenge too...”

When others thought about it, it made sense. Feng Yong Rui never asked them to do anything!

Feng Yong Rui honestly thought that way. Their plan was the catalyst that made everything go in the right direction --- for him, at least. If they didn't come up with this plan, it would take him a few more years before the realization of his plan. Who would have thought that the Han Emperor was that treacherous? If Han Xiang didn't tell Xiao Fang, no one would know about it.

The wicked concubine was really hiding herself deeply. One of his people was her closest maidservant, but she didn't know about this matter at all! The first time Feng Yong Rui knew about this matter, he was surprised as well.

Rong Qiu laughed and talked as a mediator, ”Not really... In actuality, all of you were helping each other out!”

Feng Yong Rui nodded his head in agreement while looking at the funny-looking youngsters. Honestly, their expression was quite hilarious --- it was a mixture of surprise, annoyance, and anger.

”Wait... Wait... Wait...” Qi Hao quickly cut them off. He was still in surprise so his reaction was quite slow just now. ”Father... how long have you planned this?” He couldn't help but ask out of curiosity. He also saw his father's influence ah~!

”Right after your mother has broken down and asked me to get revenge... After that, I slowly made a plan and planted a lot of people inside the palace,” Feng Yong Rui admitted. After looking at his pitiful wife, he couldn't help but start to hate the Han Emperor as well. His selfishness turned his life into hell --- his wife's condition had never improved at all! Seeing her in a vegetative state was really painful.

If he had no children, he would prefer to go into seclusion just like Rong Qiu. He needed to think of their future as well while thinking of a method to deal with the Han Emperor --- besides, his wife's medication and treatment needed a lot of money, so he could only provide it when he was an official. Thus, he had to endure and continue pretending to be loyal to that shitty Emperor.

The Han Emperor was sacrificing people for the Emperor's title and the power behind it. Thus, the greatest payback for this type of person was by taking that power away while the Emperor was still alive to see it. Feng Yong Rui wanted to see the despair in his eyes!

”Why didn't you tell us?” Xiao Fang asked in a sad tone.

”It's not that I don't want to tell you. At my weakest moment or even when I failed, I really wanted to tell both of you... But...” Feng Yong Rui sighed and answered hesitantly.

”But what? Because you didn't trust us, right?” Qi Hao asked in a blaming tone.

”No! Of course not! How could I not trust both of you?!” Feng Yong Rui looked at Qi Hao in surprise. How could that be? That thought had never crossed his mind ah~!

”Then, why?” Qi Hao pushed for an answer.

”I want both of you to live a happy and carefree life... It's enough that I'm alone who shoulder this burden... It was really exhausting and made me feel frustrated a lot of times. If it wasn't for you both and your mother, I would have long given up on this plan...” Feng Yong Rui explained.
