Emperor’s Domination

efore responding while staring at Li Qiye: “A great price must be paid for a few matters. Brother Li, this isnt a joke. Theres nothing here for you to scheme about since you are risking your life.”

“You cant put it like that.” Li Qiye nonchalantly replied: “A beautiful wife and a smart daughter, what more can a man want? Theres no need to scheme for anything else.”

Jianshi still found this man mystifying like in the beginning. In the end, all he could say was: “I have done my part trying to convince you to this point. Brother Li, take care. Leave the heavens to decide whether this will be a disaster or a blessing for you.”

“No, thats up for me to decide. When I am angry, it is a disaster; when I am happy, it is a blessing.” Li Qiye said with a smile.

Jianshi didnt say anything else. He sighed and got up.

As he was about to leave, Li Qiye chuckled: “Your clan needs a scapegoat, right?”

Jianshi became slightly stiff before answering: “Its not something we can decide, not even my father. If you are really my brother-in-law, you better start praying.”

“What about you?” Li Qiye leisurely asked: “What is your opinion on this? Are you on your sisters side or your clans?”

“Its not up for me alone to decide.” Jianshi shook his head: “One misstep and its all downhill. This is the current situation of our clan. I can only say that the child is innocent so I can guarantee her safety. As for other matters, I am completely powerless, same for my father.”

“What about your sister then?” Li Qiye asked.

Jianshi took his time thinking before answering: “Shes a smart woman. When she made this choice in the past, she knew what would come of this. If he was only a bit less willful and a little more rational, this wouldnt be the outcome, an impossible to clean up mess! I cant do anything to help her either, the ancestors in the clan wont just sit idly by.” Having said that, he sighed and left.

Li Qiye continued drinking his tea with an amused and carefree smile.

On the second day, the woman came with her daughter. Jianshi was with them as well.

“I wont disturb your family. Say what you have to say, there might not be a chance in the future.” He stared with implication at Li Qiye before leaving. He ordered the guards by the door to leave as well.

In a short time, there was only the three of them left but they werent family so the atmosphere became a bit awkward.

Li Qiye looked at the plump and seductive woman before asking: “Whats your name?”

The woman took a deep breath and bowed down. She didnt lose the elegant demeanor of a noble: “My name is Wenren Lurui. What is your name, Young Noble?”

“Last name, Li.” Li Qiye didnt reveal too much. His eyes then fell on the little girl.

“This is my daughter, her name is Huaiyu. Same last name as me.” She hurriedly said.

“Her mothers surname, I see.” Li Qiye smiled.

Meanwhile, Wenren Huaiyu stared at Li Qiye for a bit then back at her mother before smiling cutely: “Mother, you two do look like a pair of husband and wife.”

“Less nonsense.” Lurui instantly scolded her with her face turning red.

Li Qiye didnt mind and looked at the girl: “Why did you do that back in the inn?”

“Are you not my father then?” She blinked and said with some slyness.

“Huaiyu. I told you to not run your mouth, have you not cause enough trouble yet?” Luruis maternal sternness erupted and told her daughter to stop.

“But, but… hes kind of like papa!” Huaiyu pouted in response: “You always told me that papa is an indomitable and fearless man who never panic in any situation! Plus, because hes so powerful, he can face any danger without a problem!” Her eyes turned a little red at this point.

Lurui didnt know what to say after seeing her daughter like that.
