Chapter 712 - In safe hands.
Both the eyes and the voice of the butler seed a little hesitant but it surprised him when no correction was made to his words for quite so ti. He looked at the king and smiled. All this ti he has known that it was hard to ignore the call of the blood. Though at first ca the denial, even in that course of denial, he has felt a sense of acceptance sowhere.
Shin Tinming's expression didn't say anything. But his eyes held so dilemmatic questions for which he was trying hard to find the answers. No doubt he felt the sense of familiarity from Li Xue that neither he could deny nor he could ignore, but still he felt so strings inside him that were halting him from the acceptance of his heart.
"Your Majesty! …" the butler began his words again but before he could continue, there ca an interruption that paused him in the talks.
"Mr. Cao, Li Xue is a nice lady, I agree. And I also accept that she is soone Chen Rui has taken as a daughter but don't yet add the title of princess to her. Just being her one dear to us, she doesn't get the authorization of that title. And being at the service of the royals for so many years, I am sure, you know this better than anyone else". The king said. His words ca out firm and resolute but the confusion on his expression wavering every ti with his words.
The aged eyes of the butler smiled slightly with so thought as he gave a nod of understanding to the king. "I apologize, Your Majesty. I will dare not forget this next ti". He said, bowing slightly in apology.
Shin Tinming humd to his regret, before asking, "So, did you find the things I asked you to?" His eyes suddenly beca serious and full of dark depths.
The old butler nodded at once. "Yes, Your Majesty. I have already asked a few of our n to remain undercover to keep an eye on Ms. Liu. They will inform us the mont they see sothing unusual around her. But I still think it would be better if we keep a few of them around Ms. Li Xue's protection. That way we would be able to know things quicker". He inford, adding a small piece of advice at the end of his words.
But the king shook his head at once. His expression shows confidence in the reason behind it. "To protect Li Xue at the mont would be not needed, Mr. Cao. Though it doesn't co to our vision that evidently, in the whole country no other but she is protected by the best troop of trained n." He said as a proud smile got evident on his face.
For a mont, the old butler was confused with those words, quite not understanding the aning. He wanted to ask but was a little hesitant thinking that it might look like he had crossed his line of query. So, he waited, knowing that the answers might co next.
And much to his expectations, it ca. The king smiled as he continued, "The boy of Yun Yuchun is not a simple one, Mr. Cao. His decision of signing for elite marriage with the girl is enough evidence to know how precious he holds her in his heart. There would be no way he would allow any harm to co her way." He said as he smiled with so contentnt in his heart. A type of satisfaction that only a father of a daughter could feel after knowing that his daughter was in safe hands.
"But Your Majesty …" the old butler suddenly interrupted the contented thoughts of the man as his face showed so suspicion.
Shin Tinming at once turned to look. "What is it, Mr. Cao? Is there sothing more you have co across?" He asked, slightly doubtful of the things. It was still quite early to tell that he knew everything about the girl. All this while he has just slowly and slowly co to understand the small fringes of her past.
The butler nodded. "Your Majesty, five years back Ms. Li Xue was in love with so other man. They were about to get married as well but then everything was ruined after the scandal. So, …"
"Mr. Cao, the man who didn't have the courage to support the woman at her worst, there is no way he would be any suitable for her life. I think the past has already passed away and it has got no significance in the present. And isn't Xiao Xue already with Feng Shufen at the mont? How does it even concern now?" The king asked not agreeing to the facts the old butler was trying to put forward to him.
"Your Majesty, it might not concern in the present but the past always seems to hold a weakness. Our n have inford that Ms. Liu has deliberately called to invite Ms. Li Xue in the engagent ceremony of her adopted daughter, Ms. Wen Sying, whose fiancée happens to be the sa Mr. Zheng Wenting who was involved in the lady's past." The butler paused for a mont before adding, "Ms. Liu Hua is just trying to tease and hurt the weak nerve of Ms. Li Xue."
Shin Tinming heard. His expression suddenly turned cold while his eyes, dark. "Mr. Cao, keep your eyes on her. She is nothing but wicked. Her wickedness has already caused damage in the past. And I won't want her to repeat the sa in the future. This ti, no ease will be shown to her regarding any fact. I will deal with her myself." He said and the butler nodded before taking the leave at once.
Behind remained Shin Tinming as his eyes flashed with the dark glint of anger that knew no rcy. "Liu Hua, you had enough ti to enjoy. This ti I will let you know the aning of true rcy. Dare to raise a finger and I promise to burn your whole self down". He promised as his fingers clenched to hold the anger he was feeling inside.
