Especially when Mo Xuanzun said, No wonder I have only seen him once at the Clan of Magical Swords. That made her feel better about him immediately.
One could have a pretty good idea of his character judging by that fact that he never went after fame or wealth in the ten years’ time being over at Clan of Magical Swords.
Quickly, Luo Junhao got to the point of how he had completed his cultivation session behind closed door, received a letter from his parents, and visited his parents whom he hadn’t seen for over 10 years.
When he noticed that his favorite second sister was missing, he asked his parents about her whereabout.
He told them everything that he had learning regarding his father’s original intention and how much their mother had missed Luo Yuqin. After he was done, he apologized deeply to Cheng Biyuan and Luo Yuqin, “Second Sister, Second brother-in-law, it was all my fault. Please forgive mom and dad, I will take all the blame!”
“Junhao, this was not your fault!” Mrs. Cheng shook her head with tears in her eyes.
This was the first time Cheng Biyuan learned about the real reason that his father-in-law was so against the two of them being together. He felt very emotional, he might have hated him for that in the past.
But now, he was a father as well and he understood that kind of sacrifice that a father would make for his daughter. No matter what, from the standpoint of a father and house master, his father-in-law hadn’t done anything wrong. It was, indeed, him who had ruined all of his plans. No wonder he was so angry. Perhaps he should just be glad that he didn’t try to have him killed!
“Junhao, your Second Sister was right, it has nothing to do with you. Don’t let this bother you anymore!”
Cheng Biyuan was calm, as though nothing had ever happened. He continued, “I don’t blame father-in-law, he had his reasons. And we had done nothing wrong; as such, there’s no reason to not let it go. Let’s just let bygone be bygone!”
“Second brother-in-law, thank you so much!” Luo Jinhao suddenly stood up and bowed to Cheng Biyuan.
Cheng Biyuan lifted him up, helplessly shook his head, and said, “Junhao, there is really no need for this. I meant what I have said.”
“It doesn’t matter. I caused all this; I owe Second brother-in-law an apology!”
“Little brother….”
Mrs. Cheng finally couldn’t help back her wronged and guilty feeling. She threw her arms around this brother who was two years her junior and wept, “Little brother, is that really true? Mom and dad have forgiven me for capricious behaviors? Little brother, you really don’t blame me for not joining Clan of Magical Swords and help you out? Is it all true, little brother?”
“Second Sister, of course it’s all true. Everything is true. Mom and dad are not mad at your anymore, not at all. I don’t blame you for anything. In fact, I was glad that you didn’t go. Had you joined Clan of Magical Swords, mom, dad, and I would really regret about that decision!”
“Good, good. They are not angry….”
Mrs. Cheng bawled, as though she wanted to cried all of her tears that she had been holding back in the last dozens of years.
Seeing how emotional her mother was, Cheng Xiao Xiao had no choice but to help her back into her room to get some rest. It was not healthy for someone who had always been mild to be so emotional all of a sudden.
After she had helped her mother to rest, Cheng Xiao Xiao went back into the living room and saw that her uncle’s eyes were also red. Learning that he, too, was an emotional person had greatly improved her impression of him.
“Greetings from Xiao Xiao, Uncle!” Cheng Xiao Xiao walked in front of him and curtsied.
Luo Junhao smiled, looked up and down this niece who looked identical to his second sister when she was her age and said, “Xiao Xiao, you finally acknowledge that I am your uncle?”
