12 Chapter 11

Qi Chen was about to speak again but stopped when a jade like hands pats his shoulder. He knows that it is his wife Xi Hui.

"I see, you indeed have involvement to my daughter's mishap last year." Xi Hui smiles but everyone who knows her would definitely have goosebumps and feel more fear. Who doesn't know di granddaughter of Old General Xi? The Xi family although now not participating in politics nor war people still has to give them face as the Old General has been His Majesty's close friend and have saved the ruler's life few times. Xi Hui during her teens have been trained by the general despite being a female.

"Hui'er how is our daughter?"

"She's fine but still broken hearted she even said that if her cousin have just told her about Young Master Long's affection towards Fan'er then she would give way. I already explained everything to her and she's very disappointed to the actions made by her now ex-fiance and her cousin. Now my husband isn't time for us to talk but for us to solved this matter." Chen finally calms down and help Xi Hui to sit while he himself stand behind his wife, ready to take action if needed. After sitting, Xi Hui's expression became blank as if ready to negotiate for someone's death.

"Patriach Qi I am amazed by your family's actions and wondering does Old Patriach Long know that the grandson he is so proud of is the mastermind of my daughter's assassination attempt? I bet not, now only it'll ruin Fan'er future in Long Fu, it will greatly affect the relationship between Long and Qi clans if he does. I know you wouldn't want for this matter to spreads out, right?"

"Hui'er, my son and I aren't aware of this if I was, I would have stop them!" Patriach Qi sternly state but his mind is in state of panic. If the truth spreads out and knowing how Old General Xi dotes on his great granddaughter and Xi Hui he would smash Qi and Long Fu until they turns to ashes.

"Still in denial aren't we, Patriach? If I were you I will not continue that." Xi Hui glance at Fa Qing and First Elder and stops to look seriously in the eyes of Patriach Qi.

The patriach can feel his sweaty palms and shivers. He knows he needs to control the situation and only give in to his nephew and Xi Hui's demands. He can feel that whatever it is, it won't do them any good.

"What do you want for this matter not to spread out?"

"Father we shou..." the first elder tries to intervene but stop when Patriach Qi looks at him, the old man didn't forget to glare at Fa Qing as she hides behind her husband.

"Just simple, sign this." Xi Hui glances at Chen, the latter walks near the Patriach and hands a scroll but didn't get back to his wife's side as he wants to get the scroll after the Patriach signed it.
