Arc 3 Chapter 138: Scheming Lord, Cooperate a Bit (25)
"Climbed over the wall? Snuck out?" General Weichi Che flipped through the memorial in his hand as if he had just realized something and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Sister used to be quite adept at escaping from the women's chambers!
Could it be that... He just dreamed of his sister because she sensed his murderous intent towards Princess Fuhuan and tried to persuade him to stop?
These speculations made General Weichi Che suddenly stand up from his chair, his gaze scanning restlessly around the room.
"Sister are you here? Are you watching over me?" His voice was panicked and urgent completely devoid of the usual composure and elegance.
Several subordinates were frightened by his frantic behavior and none dared to take a breath.
After a while, General Weichi Che finally abandoned his irrational actions.
What had he done wrong?
Why was his sister ignoring him?
Why was his sister so determined to protect Princess Fuhuan?
General Weichi Che slumped back into his chair rubbing his aching temples.
There must be some connection in this that he couldn't grasp. As long as he could figure it out...
General Weichi Che closed his eyes and began to recall everything that had happened today.
The beautiful and lovely face of Princess Fuhuan suddenly entered his mind, overlapping with the deep-seated memory.
General Weichi Che breath suddenly froze and he trembled with excitement. How could he have forgotten?
Although he had sealed away this painful memory for many years to avoid the heart-wrenching pain, Princess Fuhuan's nose and mouth were unmistakably similar to his sister's. He should have recognized her immediately.
"Someone!" General Weichi Che suddenly roared "Go and find out if there was a girl aged thirteen to sixteen who disappeared suddenly from the Marquis of An Yong's residence twelve years ago!"
"Yes General!" The shadow guard bowed respectfully and was about to withdraw but he heard his master speak again.
"Not only the Marquis of Any Yong's residence but also the relatives of several concubines and all of the Marquis of An Yong's in-laws must be thoroughly investigated!"
"Yes, General!" The shadow guard was drenched in cold sweat and he quickly retreated. In the eight years he had served by the general's side he had never seen him lose his composure like this.
Although he was curious about the girl who had disappeared so suddenly and what her connection to the general was, some secrets were better left undiscovered.
Sister are you trying to prevent me from harming your family? Is Princess Fuhuan related to you by blood and is that why you've appeared?
If the only way to make you visit me is to have family blood ties then don't blame me!
General Weichi Che eyes were filled with bitterness.
He had been lonely for too long.
So even if it was just a dream he cherished it.
After taking a deep breath, General Weichi Che picked up an official report on his desk and walked to the window, leaving the disordered table for the guard to clean up.
However, he didn't read a single word from the report, as images of the past with his sister constantly flashed through his mind.
Returning to his desk he spread out a sheet of paper and carefully started to draw. But after just a few strokes he crumpled the paper in frustration and threw it on the floor.
Over the years, he had attempted to draw a portrait of his sister when he couldn't suppress his longing, but their brief lucid conversations always occurred under the dim moonlight. He hadn't even managed to remember her appearance entirely.
