Crossdressing Female General vs Alluring Malicious Beauty (27)
Old General Fu looked at his daughter, and after finally saying that sentence, the stone that had been weighing down his heart for the last two decades was finally lifted.
“It was never your fault, everything was due to my own mistakes.” Old General Fu’s expression settled into calm once more, and he gazed at his daughter.
“For all these years, I had always believed that you hate me, and I feared that you would not wish to see me.”
“Thus, I never told you, that you have always been my greatest pride of a daughter. I was unwilling to meet you often, not because I did not wish to see you, but rather because I felt that I was unqualified as a father, and had no face to meet you.”
In this afternoon, Old General Fu and Fu Yunzhen, this father and daughter pair, finally had their first proper conversation for the first time in twenty four years.

That night, Gu Shengyin arrived at Jiang Huan’s estate.
“Drink with me!” Gu Shengyin said only this to him.
Jiang Huan intuitively realized that something must have happened to Gu Shengyin, but looking at her current state, he didn’t pry any further, and simply instructed his servants to quickly prepare a table full of good dishes and bring out the vintage alcohol from within the palace storage.
Gu Shengyin downed one cup of wine into her mouth after another, her expression constantly a mix of grief and joy. The words spoken by old General Fu just now did not have much of an impact on Gu Shengyin, but in regards to the sentiment left behind by the original Fu Yunzhen, it had subverted the entire twenty four years of her worldview and beliefs.
As a result, she was in a very emotional mood at the moment, and simply wanted to find someone to get quickly and utterly drunk with, and have a deep sleep.
For Gu Shengyin, her lover was undoubtedly the best choice. She could reveal everything before him without any scruples.
Jiang Huan had been silently watching Gu Shengyin all this time, up until her eyes had obviously begun to glaze over in drunkenness.
He reached out and pressed down Gu Shengyin’s hand as she began to lift the wine cup: “Enough, Yunzhen, you’re already drunk.”
However, how would he be able to restrain someone of Gu Shengyin’s ability? With a flicker of her wrist, she skillfully broke free from Jiang Huan’s hand, and in the blink of an eye, swallowed another glass of alcohol.
“Nonono, I’m very happy.” Gu Shengyin looked at Jiang Huan laughingly, winking at him with an air of mischief.
“Did you know? I had always believed that he didn’t like me, but today he told me, the reason he had treated me so indifferently, so strictly, was because he felt apologetic towards me.” Gu Shengyin hummed with a hint of laughter, telling Jiang Huan of these issues indifferently.
“In truth, being born as a member of the Fu Family, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with shouldering the responsibilities of preserving the family honor, so why didn’t he tell me this earlier?”
Jiang Huan listened silently. From her words, he could infer that Gu Shengyin was talking about her father, old General Fu.
Old General Fu and his only son, Fu Yunzhen, were not on close terms. This was not a secret within the capital. In public, this father and son pair always treated each other coldly.
However, after listening to Gu Shengyin’s words, there seemed to be some hidden meanings?
Jiang Huan listened silently. He understood that Yunzhen just wanted someone to vent to, and didn’t need him to reply.
But he would never have expected how shocking the next words Gu Shengyin spoke would be.
“All these years, all my efforts, and all the death-defying situations I have lived through, wasn’t it simply in order to receive a single word of acknowledgement from him? Just so I could show him that, this daughter, would never be inferior to any man. And he actually said what he cared about had never been this…”
“Bang!” Jiang Huan’s hand jerked, knocking the cup next to his hand over, spilling wine over his robe, but he was already in no mood to spare that any thought.
Ari’s Corner:
don’t you just love how people who have done wrong immediately feel absolved as soon as they just say “i’m sorry”
it’s just a lot of ‘too little, too late’; thinking you’re an unqualified parent doesn’t give you the right to stop being a parent for your child, or treating your child like shit
although I’m happy the original Fu Yunzhen could get some sort of resolution for the negativity she held in her heart all her life, it really doesn’t undo any of the shit she went through
sorry for the late update: I haven’t been translating the last two weeks because I’m stuck on a chapter I’m really, really not enjoying so I completely forgot to update
