Arc 3 Chapter 139: Scheming Lord, Cooperate a Bit (26)
Only his sister's unique scent was etched deeply into his memory something he would never forget.
With his eyes closed, General Weichi Che savored the memory of that fragrance which seemed to last an eternity. After a while his restless heart finally calmed down.
Unfurling another sheet of paper he meticulously continued his unfinished drawing. Half an hour passed and he finally managed to capture the image of Luo Liyan lying on the straw mat.
The detailed features the hair gently falling on her face all seemed as unique as a living person.
However, her facial features remained a blank space.
General Weichi Che trembling hand held the brush as he grasped his left hand with his right, sighing deeply.
Only after he had regained his composure did he kneel down again to continue his unfinished artwork.
Long eyelashes lay neatly on her eyes veiling the faint shade of blue. The petite nose stood tall and her cherry-like lips exuded an incomparable charm.
General Weichi Che gazed intently at the completed painting in front of him, his eyes filled with a fanatical obsession.
If his sister were still alive she would undoubtedly be several times more enchanting than the depiction he had created.
Yet she sacrificed the best years of her life for his sake.
General Weichi Che felt like his heart was being cruelly torn apart the pain making it difficult to breathe.
"General!" The nearby guard, seeing his condition took a couple of steps forward wanting to offer assistance, but he was harshly rebuked.
"Don't come near! Stay back!"
Only he was allowed to see his sister!
Even if it was just a painting it couldn't be seen by anyone else's eyes.
Furthermore, her sleeping posture.
He rolled up the painting little by little and the finely-drawn facial features gradually enlarged. General Weichi Che complexion became even darker and a choking feeling of impending storm and thunderstorm filled the entire study.
It was uncanny! Incredibly alike!
The Princess Fuhuan who had appeared before him yesterday was strikingly similar to his sister about seventy to eighty percent similar. Could this be achieved by an ordinary collateral family?
Could it be... she was his sister's younger sister?
This speculation struck General Weichi Che like a bolt of lightning.
"Someone! Prepare the horse and gifts! Prepare to pay respects!" General Weichi Che shouted anxiously, his footsteps hastening as he rushed out.
At this moment he had completely lost the patience to wait for his scouts to report back. He had to personally go to the Marquis of An Yong's residence to find out the truth.
If his sister was indeed the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of An Yong, then their complete erasure of her existence for the sake of reputation was indeed unforgivable!

"Lord Marquis, Lord Marquis! Something's wrong! General Yuchi is coming!"
A servant rushed into the dining room stumbling even as he entered, tripping over the high threshold and falling at the feet of the Marquis of An Yong.
"What did you say? General Weichi Che the bringer of misfortune is coming?" The Marquis of An Yong was shocked and jumped up from his chair.
"You ungrateful child! I told you yesterday not to provoke General Weichi Che. Why don't you listen? Are you willing to endanger everyone in our Marquis of An Yong's residence?" Lady Luo cried out, initially stunned and then wailing.
"Mother, I'm wronged! I didn't say a word in court today. I deliberately avoided General Weichi Che!" The Marquis of An Yong appeared mournful. "Could it be that he is here to settle the score today?"
Perhaps this harbinger of misfortune was still unwilling to let them off easily so he had chosen this time to make his move?
Why would the emperor let him act this way against their Marquis of An Yong's residence?
