Lian Ruyue looked at the handsome man in front of her, her eyes filled with determination.

She had betrayed his trust when he used all his strength to crawl in front of her and extend his hand towards her, trembling. Yet, she had fled here and there, not even sparing him a glance, leaving him alone through those lonely years. She did not even know what his final ending was as he watched his family being exterminated and even saw Lian Shiya replacing her as she ascended to the last position.

His heart was in pain, but there was nothing he could do.

Thus, in this lifetime, regardless of whether he was using his own younger brother or the Prince's Phoenix Incantation, she would do everything in her power to protect him from harm.

Seeing Lian Ruyue doing this for him, Lian Yin felt a deep regret in his heart.

”I'm sorry, sister. I've always been thinking about my matters, but I forgot about you. I'm sorry.”

”No, man! You don't have to say that I'm sorry, but I've never blamed you before. I just hope that you can put your worries aside so that you can live a better life. You have nothing wrong with it, so don't blame yourself, understand? ” Lian Ruyue softly said to Lian Fu.

Finally, he nodded his head and said, ”Big sister, I know. I will try my best.”

”Yi'er, as long as you are well, that is for the best.”

Lian Meng stood up and said, ”Sister, I'll go to the temple and kneel down first. If I'm late, I'm afraid that father will get angry. As for mother, if you ask, please tell me.”

”Go.” Lian Ruyue nodded.

He turned around and walked down the platform. When he reached the middle of the platform, his steps paused for a moment before he quickened his pace and left. He did not look back …

”Really?” When Madam Xiao heard Lian Shiya's words, she happily squeezed her hand. ”Your father's punishment is to kneel in front of the temple?”

”Of course it's true, I saw it. That attendant went with number four or nine, but he didn't take anything. I heard that he had to kneel down for three days and nights in the study to talk back to his father, so he's not allowed to eat meat. When Grandmother heard about it, she rushed to her father's front to plead for mercy. Father did not budge at all, saying that he must punish even those who practice martial arts. Grandmother even left in anger. ” Lian Shiya happily reported everything she saw.

”Great!” ”Lian Fang, the direct descendant of the family, and the only son of the family. This is the first time in many years that Lian Xue and Lian Ru Yue have received this kind of punishment. Even when Rong Xue and Lian Ru Yue are at their lowest, Lian Fu's status is still unaffected.

”He is also stupid. Why would he talk back to his father like that? He must be tired of living.” Lian Shiya rolled her eyes slightly.

”He is a fool, just as I please. He is now rebutting your father's dignity, angering your father, and in the future when you expose his adultery with Lian Ruyue, your father will be even more angry, and he cannot be forgiven.” Née Xiao had a assured expression. After so many years, she truly understood Lian Yan Qing's character. He was able to destroy all the factors that were detrimental to him for his own reputation and career.

”But recently, the two siblings haven't gotten that close. Could it be that the incantation has detected something and is purposely avoiding suspicion?” Lian Shiya had been secretly observing recently, but apart from seeing them sitting on the viewing platform for a while, she hadn't seen them together. Compared to her previous intimacy, it was really far from her.

”It shouldn't be! That day, the two of us hid ourselves very well and neither the princess nor he noticed our presence. If we did, the princess would have scolded us. ” The Xiao family analyzed.
