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

”Father...” Qi Hao didn't know what to say because he would never think that his father did it for them --- they cared about them too much to involve them in his revenge plan.

Feng Yong Rui patted both of his children's heads lovingly.

Yao Ying couldn't blame him when he knew the real reason. That shitty Emperor was really cruel and it seemed like karma had finally found him.

”How do you control the Empress?” Yao Ling asked out of curiosity. Without a good relationship, it would be impossible for the Empress to give the imperial power to Feng Yong Rui just like that. The Empress' maiden family used to be so powerful but they were sitting on the opposite side of Feng Yong Rui from the information that they had gathered.

”It was actually thanks to the Han Emperor's behavior himself. He only trusted that one wicked concubine and abandoned the others. I also wondered what kind of seduction that the wicked concubine had done --- she was able to make the Han Emperor totally under her palm. In the end, just like what had happened to my wife's maiden family, he dealt with the Empress' family because her maiden family was too powerful and hard to control. How could the Empress not hate him when he killed the Empress' maiden family down to the root? He only left the Empress with an empty title without power just to be called as a benevolent person by the commoners.

In the end, it gave me a way to make a deal with the Empress... The truth is... the Empress' maiden family was totally loyal to the Han Emperor. His wrong judgment to women and combined with the crazy decisions that he had made over time... led to his downfall. He shouldn't blame another person but himself!” Feng Yong Rui told them honestly.

It was true... if he treated his loyal followers well, no one would betray him. However, this Han Emperor seemed to make a lot of people feel disappointed in him!

”He's really crazy,” Xiao Fang muttered to himself. ”I wonder how could he become an Emperor with such lousy personalities...? What kind of stupid people who helped him become an Emperor?!”

Feng Yong Rui, ”...”

Didn't I already tell them that he was a part of the people who made him the Emperor? Did Xiao Fang forget about it or she deliberately dissed her own father? This young lass dared to call him stupid ah~!

”I'm one of them...” Feng Yong Rui admitted while pouting at Xiao Fang.

Xiao Fang merely covered up her mouth and laughed out loud. ”I'm sorry, Father! I forget ah~!”

Her naughty expression made him understand that she was actually teasing him which made Feng Yong Rui rolled his eyes in annoyance. He had never tried to make his children afraid of him, but instead, they always talked like friends --- unlike other officials' household. This made their relationship was closer than ever.

”Nonsense!” Feng Yong Rui scolded her in a soft tone.

The others shook their heads and laughed as well --- it broke the previous tense atmosphere.

Qi Hao's nonsense was even more bizarre than Xiao Fang. He sighed in relief while patting his own ċhėst looked like he had just gotten a big fright, ”That's good to hear. That's good to hear... I even thought that you have an illicit relationship with the Empress for a moment.”

Feng Yong Rui, ”...”
