Chapter 853: No Family and Friends, Only Lan’er

Si Mobai lowered his head and looked at her. “I don’t have any friends or family. I only have Lan’er and my subordinates.”

As far as he could remember, he didn’t have any friends. He only had loyal subordinates. Besides, Si Ming once told him that he wasn’t his biological child. He was just the master of the Si Family. It was just as simple as that.

Therefore, he didn’t have any friends or family. He only had his subordinates and himself.

“Eh…” Feng Tianlan was stunned. She then raised her head and looked at him. “Doesn’t your life feel empty without family and friends?” she asked.

There was only loyalty from his subordinates. There wasn’t any other form of affection from them. She felt that such a life would be very boring.

Si Mobai thought about this seriously. He then curled his lips and smiled blissfully as he said, “I have Lan’er now. My life is complete.”

He didn’t really care if he had any family members or friends. All his emptiness was filled after he met Lan’er.

“Mobai, you should make some friends,” Feng Tianlan said, holding his hand. Life would only be complete this way. As for his family members, she hoped that he might find them one day.

Kinship, friendship, and love were irreplaceable.

Si Mobai replied gently with a soft ‘uh-huh.’ He then held her hand as they strolled through the courtyard under the moonlight. How could his life be empty if she was around?

Feng Tianlan’s fingers were interlocked with his. Since he only had her, she had decided to cherish him and love him even more!

…

After what happened in the East Palace, the commoners started to discuss Shen Yunya and the Shen Family as they received the news from some unknown sources. They were said to have disgraced the family, as their traits were passed down from their previous generations.

Shen Yunya had been known for being pretty, gentle, generous, and kind for many years. However, currently, the news of her being a loose woman who had lost her chastity and even drugged the Crown Prince had spread out like a forest fire. She had now become an example used to teach young girls a lesson.

However, she was enclosed in the palace walls. If she didn’t send someone to find out about the gossip, she wouldn’t have even have known about it.

Feng Tianlan was sitting beside Xi Lin’s bed. When she saw her leaning halfway on her bed in a weak, weary, and uncomfortable manner, she felt worried. “Sister Lin, are you alright?”

“I am alright. I was just having some cold after being drunk last night. I will be fine after taking some medicine.” Xi Lin raised her head and looked at Feng Tianlan. “I heard what happened at the East Palace last night. I missed all of that because I came back earlier,” she said.

Feng Tianlan asked the imperial maid to retreat. She then told her about what happened last night. “Does Sister Lin find anything about this unusual?”

“Although that really doesn’t seem normal, all that matters is my brother is good and Shen Yunya is bad.” Xi Lin looked weary. It was obvious that she didn’t have the energy she had before. However, she really thought that it was quite good for such an incident to happen.

Feng Tianlan picked up the bowl of medicine that had cooled off. She then fed it to Xi Lin and gave her some candied fruits as she spoke. “I just think that Brother Jin’s transformation was too great. I wonder if he had found out the truth,” she said.

Xi Lin suddenly stopped halfway while she was eating the candied fruits. She raised her head and gave Feng Tianlan a serious look. After a while, she finally swallowed the candied fruit along with its seeds. “Tianlan, you know how much the truth would affect my brother. He is my big brother. I won’t do anything to harm him. I am more reluctant than anyone to let him know what really happened.”

She would kill whoever told her big brother the truth!

“I was afraid that Sister Lin might not be able to keep it in anymore and revealed the truth,” Feng Tianlan said.

Xi Lin pouted. “I can judge the seriousness of things.” Although she wasn’t good at keeping secrets previously, she still knew what to say and what not to say.

At least she had been able to hide her feelings towards He Lian for more than ten years without telling anyone.
