"How is he?" Sanguan Liu Wen asks his son curiously.

Sanguan Jin Sheng didn't look excited "Although his appearance very much like me but unfortunately, he got that woman temperament, very arrogant and haughty" he scoffed as he remembers his late wife "Thankfully that woman had died"

​​

"Then that would be easier then…" the old eyes crinkled as he smiles slyly.

"I'm not sure, he shows reluctance when I invite him to come home" Sanguan Jin Sheng takes a seat across his father.

"Bah, he just tries to make things hard for us" he waved his hand carelessly Samguan Liu Wen would not believe anyone will not be tempted by the Sanguan family authority and wealth.

"That's what I thought too" he sighs while lifting a cup of wine and sip it slowly.

"But we must admit he is not stupid if he just comes like that he would not have a foothold in this family," said sanguan Liu Wen, he strokes his beard and lifts his head abruptly "What is his background anyway?"

"Nothing much, he is a merchant from the Jiang Wei Kingdom although he quite well off but nothing special about him" Sanguan Jin sheng slightly disappointed how ordinary his Son turn out to be.

"How about his cultivation?" Sanguan Liu Wen frowned.

"I could sense it, he is only heavenly King level at core stage, is good enough for Xin Fang continent but not here…" the more he knows about his son the more dejected he becomes other than his son pretty face nothing else stood out about him when he compares to Sanguan Wu Ci his other Son is a complete disappointment. Sanguan Jin sheng worries people would laugh at him if they know about Zhao Li Xin.

"Is he married?"

Sanguan Jin Sheng surprised, he has not asked about it yet "I don't know….he already in that age so it possible he does"

Sanguan Liu wen snorted "Doesn't matter, I think his wife is only nobody we can find a better woman for him" he simply as if it was natural for him to decide the future of the grandson that he never met before, he never knew that this arrangement is one thing that would set Zhao Li Xin off.

The conceited Sanguan Jin sheng nods in agreement "You're right father"

"What about the map, Long Ming said he bought the map for your Son Lu Xin, is he have it?" there is a vicious glint in his eyes.

"I'm not asked about it, I don't want to startle him, it would be bad if he thought he got an upper hand" Sanguan Jin Sheng already irritated with Zhao Li Xin behavior, in a normal situation he would punish that impudent son of him but unfortunately he needs Zhao Li Xin.

"Then we need to find Lao Min Na and ask for that 'thing' if we can't control him in normal ways then we wouldn't have no choice but to use that" a flash of annoyance apparent on his wrinkled face, Sanguan Liu Wen dart his gaze to his Son again "Have you asked your good wife what happened that year? She said Mu Yi and her son had died but why this happens, don't tell me she make fools you again" Sanguan Liu wen express his dissatisfaction, his Son is excellent in everything but he never good when it judged women character that's why Sanguan Jin Sheng never thought his late wife would leave him and his recent wife would lie to him.

Sanguan Jin sheng clicks his tongue exasperatedly "She said she doesn't know anything, the subordinated that she sent to retrieve Lu Xin told her that the mother and son had died"

"And you believe her?" he scoffed.

Sanguan Jin Sheng scrunched his face, he hated it when his father treated him like an idiot "I have no proof to say otherwise, the subordinated she sent already dead so no one could provide testimony what had happened that day" his wife maternal family is not simple if he dares to accuse her he must have solid proof or his in-law would not let him off.

Sanguan Liu Wen also knows about this, he also doesn't want to provoke his in-law especially at this time when the Wu family suddenly grew in power there also Long Ming and empress Ming were not on good terms with them. The situation is not looking good for the Sanguan family that's why they need whatever help they could get.

"Yes," he gives a serious nod "A lot of people questioning your status and my sincerity so I will hold a giant wedding for you, however, we have two problems, which is when and where" he raised two fingers solemnly.

Lory shakes her head, she thought something is miss "Wait, we already husband and wife, you already made an announcement are we need a ceremony?

"That – is my negligence, you are married to Hei Shen sect master, I thought I don't need other people blessing or approval to make you as my wife, that's why wedding banquet is unnecessary and you don't seem care ether" he raised his brows at Lory.

"I DON'T! I don't like the wedding banquet, organizing a Banquet is different from attending a banquet, I don't like it" Lory explained herself clearly that she doesn't care about the wedding banquet.

"I understand that's why Bei Li Yan will be in charge with the wedding, you don't have to do anything, Wu San Bo would taking care of the dowry, the wedding dress, and other details, Jin Hao would in charge with incitation and guest and Jiang Jin Wei is in charge with security and safety measure and you…" he points his finger at Lory.

"M….me?" suddenly she becomes nervous.

Zhao Li Xin charmingly smiles "You just need to be pretty, which is you already do a marvelous job with it"

"Eh?"

"That's all I want to say, the wedding will need a year preparation…at least, is not easy to embroidery five-meter wedding gown after all.." he looks quite dejected then he raised from his seat, he patted Lory head lovingly and said "Don't worry Princess, it would become the magnificent wedding of all time" Zhao Li Xin seems in a good mood, he wants to see who else dare to question Lory position in his life?

'Who wear five meters gown?'

"Uhm…." Lory wants to say something but Zhao Li Xin cut her off.

"I have to go for a few days, but I'm not far I'm just staying at the inn nearby, Mong Yi would explain what happened to you, I will try to return every night so you won't miss me as much, and if you need anything just tell my subordinated and don't go anywhere without anyone, and you must inform the head housekeeper if you want to leave the manor, but is better if you stay inside the manor" after he finishes nags her Zhao Li Xin kiss Lory's cheek and sauntered out of the room.

Lory froze in her seat, her head can't decipher to much information at the same time.

'What Wedding?'

'Why he stays at the Inn?'

'Why can I go out again?'

Lory looks down and sighs, she takes a sip of her tea as she gives up to comprehend what had happened, at least someone has a good mood.
