Chapter 392: Chapter 392 Cross-Dressed Female General VS Stunning Vixen (Part Fourteen) Chapter 392: Chapter 392 Cross-Dressed Female General VS Stunning Vixen (Part Fourteen) By the time Jiang Huan had tidied up and come out, the two had tacitly “forgotten” the kiss that morning.

Gu Shengyin had stayed another day at Jiang Huan’s villa before she proposed her departure.

After all, she was an official currently in service, far less free than Jiang Huan, the wealthy prince.

Jiang Huan didn’t insist on keeping her any longer, only mentioning that he happened to be going to the palace and could accompany her.

It was still the inconspicuous green-curtained carriage, still the unfathomable coachman.

Upon entering the city, Gu Shengyin alighted from the carriage and, after saying goodbye to Jiang Huan, headed towards the Fu Residence.

As for Jiang Huan, he went directly into the palace, his mind replaying the words Gu Shengyin had said to him while drunk. Since Princess Shu He dared to utter such words, a rift had already formed between them. Even if they became husband and wife in the future, he feared they would be a couple filled with resentment.

He thought about persuading Imperial Brother to change his mind, of course not brashly, but to first feel out the situation today.

Gu Shengyin went straight back to the mansion. The servant waiting at the gate, upon seeing her return, simultaneously attended to the luggage and said, “General, Old General Fu ordered that you see him as soon as you return.”

Gu Shengyin nodded and changed her direction towards the main courtyard where Old General Fu resided.

“Your daughter greets you, Father.” Gu Shengyin performed the proper courtesy with great decorum.

“So you remember to come back? Where have you been these past two days?” Old General Fu asked sternly, looking at his daughter with the striking features. Disappearing without a trace for two days, not even sending back a message–didn’t she think her family back home would worry?

“Your daughter simply went to meet a good friend,” Gu Shengyin replied calmly.

Seeing her indifferent demeanor, Old General Fu grew angry, “You better not forget your identity, you must be cautious whom you befriend!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Shengyin understood that he was emphasizing her identity as a daughter, meaning she shouldn’t expose her whereabouts.

Honestly, as a transmigrator on a mission familiar with the plot, she knew that Old General Fu did have affection for his daughter, but, being a rigid man his whole life, he never spoke softly. His words of concern always sounded like reproaches.

But while she could know and understand this, Fu Yunzhen could not.

Faced with her father’s words, Gu Shengyin suddenly laughed, lifting her eyes to meet his squarely, “Father worries too much. Your daughter has thrived in the military these many years. You can rest easy, father, I will not let the family name of the God of War be tarnished in the hands of Fu Yunzhen.”

Watching the mocking brightness in his daughter’s eyes, Old General Fu was left speechless for a moment.

He had always known that this child held a grudge against him in her heart.

Yes, indeed, out of selfishness for the so-called glory of the family, he had decided her life for her. From the moment he resolved that the General’s Mansion had birthed a “young master,” he had sealed his daughter’s fate to never live the life of an ordinary person.

His expression became dejected, “You hate me.”

Gu Shengyin’s expression remained unchanged, “Your daughter doesn’t dare.” It wasn’t that she didn’t, but that she dared not.

Gu Shengyin withdrew.

Old General Fu was left alone in the room. He stood for a long time before carefully taking out a scroll from a secret compartment of the study.

The scroll slowly unraveled, revealing the slightly yellowed paper with a portrait of a beautiful woman with a charming smile.

Upon closer inspection, the woman bore a striking resemblance to Fu Yunzhen, seven parts alike; but while the woman in the picture had a gentle smile, Fu Yunzhen had more valor in her brows and eyes.

“Ah Xin, I truly made a mistake, back then I was indeed wrong…” The rough hand gently caressed the paper, and no one could hear the old man’s remorse.
