Everything that happens feels natural, unless you deny it! But a sad destiny
is it natural to accept it sincerely?

Li's residence hall was visited by Wei's innocent son and wife. They didn't know what had happened to the poor man. Liang Jia could not even stare at those innocent faces, especially Wei's son and daughter who were orphans for protecting Yue Hwa.
“Thank you respectfully our great lord Li.” Madam Wei knelt in reverence followed by her children.
“Xin Er, you should know that Wei has been presumptuous to betray me and deserves the death penalty.” Li
San loudly bullied the simple woman and her underage children.
“Ampun Big sir. Servant please forgive!” Xin Er prostrated herself to the ground banging her head against the floor pleading
compassion. She hopes her children will not be punished.
“In light of the services and devotion that ancestor Wei has done in the past, I can only ease the punishment, yet you will still be punished for life!” A decision board was thrown at Xin Er. A sign that he will be sentenced to a very severe punishment.
“Why should we who are young be punished? Didn't I do nothing but study and persecute my brother? Is that wrong?” Suddenly the voice of a little boy broke the tension. It seems he does not understand the complicated conditions that hit his mother and himself.
“You... sassy boy! What's your name?” Jemari Li San pointed to the boy.
“Hamba Wei Li Jun.” The short and indifferent answer from Wei's youngest son troubled Li San's heart. Her feelings
I was immediately drawn to the courage of the boy.
“How old are you? You weren't taught manners so dare sassy it!” lis San Cecar.
“Punish the son of the Great Lord's servant! It's the servant's fault that didn't educate him. Slave ready to receive punishment.” Xin Er again banged her head against the floor until her body collapsed.
Li Jun immediately ran to hug his mother. While the other brother did not squeak and just looked down afraid with prostrate feet.
“Hmm...your guts are quite big boy! I've already taken the decision for the right punishment for you guys.”
Liang Jia who had been silent immediately gasped, her eyes and nose were already flushed by the swift tears. He continued to blame his weak self and had no favorable position to go against Li San's will.
“For the grave crimes committed by Wei Ming Fung, the death penalty was deserved he and his family received.
Xin Er was sentenced to be a maid in the Li family for life. Her children will be sent to the city border and exiled, unless Wei Li Jun.” advisor Li San reads out a decree.
Xin Er immediately prostrated herself begging for mercy for her children. Separating a mother and a young child is simply not acceptable.
“Mr Li, please kindly your generosity to reconsider the fate of their children.” Liang Jia kowtowed so much that Li San was shocked. Her honorable woman had to humble herself to beg forgiveness for the family of her loyal bodyguard. Li San's hands clenched tightly, the woman was so stubborn.
“I sent them to the border city to become slaves. If my mood is good, I will
reconsider. Giving you a chance to live, you should be grateful, not demanding!” li San's speech made the entire room quiet.
“Then I stayed here as what? Helping mom as a maid, big sir?” Li Jun's
ask the right questions. Everyone did not know on what basis Li Jun was privileged.
“From now on you stay in this house as my son!” Li San moved away from sitting down as well as ending the execution back then. Without noticing the facial expressions of the entire people who were in the hall, he stepped away without another word.

This fate is playing tricks on me? Yesterday Yue Hwa was still with me, that poor princess somehow had her fate now? Now a Wei boy entered and replaced Yue Hwa as a child. How do I accept this reality?
The scent of tranquilizing incense ignited in the room was apparently unable to calm Liang Jia's mind. Six
the year he tried to give another offspring to Li San, but that hope never came. The bet was the life of Yue Hwa, he thought that six years could foster a fatherly affection for his biological daughter. It turned out that the allegation missed, Li San's obsession with having an unstoppable boy. Then why was he so easy to raise Li Jun as a child?
Wei's youngest son, whom they had just met last night, could steal Li San's attention at the first meeting. If he knew Li San was interested in the child, why didn't it occur to him in the past to find a foster child? It was certain that this tragedy would not happen to Yue Hwa. Without Wei beside him, perhaps he was also unable to survive. Increasingly
Liang Jia thought about it, he was getting less and less willing to accept reality. The burden was too heavy he thought and his body instantly collapsed onto the floor.

It all felt like an endless dream. A seven-year-old boy can throw his courage so as to arouse the heart of a cold-blooded man and make him a child. Li San was determined by his decision to adopt Li Jun, even later his possessions and power would be bestowed on the boy.
“Receive my respect, Big sir.” Li Jun kneeled when he saw Li San's arrival to his room.
“Build my son. Come here we discuss something.” Li San hinted that the child would not be formal
him again.
Li Jun was silent. He understands very well that all his actions may be able to affect the mother and
his brother's. Not making mistakes is the safest strategy to stick to.
“How old are you now?”
“Seven Years, Big sir.” Li San immediately patted his mouth. He spoke wrong and it could
inviting the anger of the big man.
“From now on call Dad to me. And your name is Li Xiao Jun, the son of Li San Jing. You must
understand status. No matter how your past is, you have to adapt immediately.”
A bitter smile rang out from the corner of Xiao Jun's small lips, with everything new he should be able to take the opportunity to save his mother and brother. Sacrificing his entire childhood to adulthood before time, whatever he would do to reunite with his original family.
“Thank you, Dad!”
