Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Listening to her cold and indifferent voice, clearly showing her disdain, Liu Fuyun felt very uncomfortable.

But he didnt want to argue with her. He said, If you find anything suspicious, I will spare no effort to investigate it thoroughly! After all, its not just you who holds Xingyun high regard!

The eldest daughter was beautiful, but she never showed a pleasant face in front of him.

The second daughter was not as good-looking and not as intelligent; her talents were miles behind. But there was one thing she excelled at, far surpassing the eldest daughtershe was caring!

Liu Shimei had never shown the filial piety a daughter should have in front of her father, never spoken sweetly to him. Whatever she was taught, she accepted it with great rigidity, learning perfectly, like an emotionless puppet.

She had never softly called him Father!

Liu Yaner was different; she knew how to make people happy, and she could cook. Even if she knew she didnt prepare the dishes herself, she would still go to the kitchen and give instructions, doing 90 percent of the work while leaving only 10 percent for others to do.

But this made her father feel extremely accomplished.

In Liu Fuyuns heart, it was always Liu Quan who held a special place. He excelled in both academics and martial arts, and he was very pleasant and likable in social situations, never making anyone uncomfortable.

It was no exaggeration to say that if Liu Quan hadnt died in that accident, with his abilities, he would have eventually entered the court. Sooner or later, he would have taken over as the Chief Civil Servant, a position where he was above everyone else, ruling over thousands.

What a pity, what a pity!

As for his younger son, Liu Anhe, he was obedient and well-behaved, perhaps too obedient, lacking his own opinions.

Liu Shimei also noticed that whenever Liu Quan was mentioned, a glimmer of genuine emotion appeared on Liu Fuyuns face.

So what if he truly loved someone who was no longer there?

She closed the case file and turned her gaze towards him. Suddenly, she asked, Father misses Brother. But since Mother passed away so many years ago, have you ever missed her?

At her words, Liu Fuyun was taken aback.bender

From the confusion on his face, Liu Shimei knew the answer was definitely: no!

Even if he had, it was probably very brief, she thought.

She pretended to be casual and asked again, I heard that Father and Mother broke through the barriers of civil official and female military officer back then, becoming a famous couple in the Capital. Although the good times didnt last long Father, did you truly love my mother back then?

Of course, she emphasized the word love intentionally!

Sure enough, no matter how well Liu Fuyun concealed his emotions, her probing shattered the fragile ice covering his eyes, like a touch breaking the surface of a lake!

At your young age, do you even understand what love is? Liu Fuyun evaded the question.

Liu Shimei snorted and said, Im just 16, but Im already betrothed! I havent experienced love, but Ive heard others talk about it. I think, if Mother didnt truly love Father, why would she have defied Grandfathers opposition and married into the Liu family?

She hit the nail on the head!

Liu Fuyuns face stiffened as he looked at Liu Shimeis eyes and eyebrows, recalling his deceased wife from ten years ago. There was something unnatural there, and he said coldly, As children, you shouldnt question your parents recklessly! The matters between your mother and me have nothing to do with you!

Knowing that Liu Fuyun wouldnt say more, it was clear from these few words that Liu Fuyun definitely didnt love her as much as Liang Ruyi had hoped!

So, what was the reason back then?

Deception of emotions?

Marriage fraud?
