The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 403 Side story (A Fei the princess of Jin)
Tonight the entire Sima family gathered to enjoy dinner together, Sima Shao's family was no exception. A Hua and her husband and their son also participated. Only Xuxiang was absent considering that he now lived in the Shu Empire.
" I'm sure you're not surnamed Sima while this dinner is just for the Sima family. Aren't you ashamed that other people would think that you were broke and purposely came to eat? "
Arthur scrunched his shoulders. " Why do I care about people's words while their words don't make me full at all. "
" I think you're rich for mortgaging your shame. "
Arthur was about to open his mouth but lost quickly to Ziyan who had already broken their debate.
" Can't you two just stop arguing for a second. It's dinner to welcome A Fei's return and celebrate his success. Don't mess with the childish nature of the two of you. "
Ziyan's sharp gaze managed to make the two men calm down again.
A Fei chuckled at the sight of Ziyan who was actually no stronger than Sima Rui and Arthur but was so frightened by the two. Perhaps if it measured strength, Sima Rui would be at the top but it was not a guarantee because the father who was so submissive to his mother as if every word that came out of her mother's mouth was an edict.
' At a time like this, father would turn like a toothless lion who was not even able to bully. ' Inner A Fei sneered.
Sima Shao and his family arrived. Dinner began. The atmosphere of the previous riot instantly turned warm. Even the presence of Arthur who incidentally outsiders did not reduce the warmth of the dinner.
After finishing dinner and all returned to their respective palaces, A Fei who was already in his room immediately laid his body on the bed.
But the voice of the maid who welcomed the arrival of ziyan made her wake up again.
" mother? Why is mom here? " Tanya A Fei was astonished.
Ziyan ignored A Fei's question and asked all the servants to leave. Now only A Fei and Ziyan remained in the room.
" Mom just wants to spend more time with mom's daughter? can't that be? "
A Fei spoiledly hugged Ziyan. " Sleep here, Mom. I don't mind even though dad's gonna go berserk at me tomorrow morning. "
Ziyan chuckled. " I don't think your father would have possibly gone berserk on his beloved daughter. But you might lose mom as soon as you open your eyes tomorrow. Your father won't let himself sleep, I'm sure your father will sneak in to kidnap you. "
The two laughed, as they recalled the memories of Ziyan sleeping with his daughter but shamelessly Sima Rui quietly moved his wife in the middle of the night. Almost A Fei had a heart attack when not a single servant saw his mother. The furore was instantly over when Ziyan said that she woke up in her room. And with confidence, Sima Rui acknowledged and said.
" What's so weird about moving my wife back to her room. She's my wife so she should sleep with me. "
And from then on, A Fei stopped asking Ziyan to sleep with him. His father was too domineering.
Ziyan sat on the bed while A Fei lay with his head on Ziyan's thigh. Lovingly, Ziyan gently rubbed A Fei's head peak.
" Is your Ofidiophobia getting worse, dear? " Tanya Ziyan was attentive.
For a moment Ziyan could see her daughter's body stiffening. " I don't know mom.. "
Ziyan could feel a sense of despair from A Fei's tone. His fear of snakes seems to be getting worse, especially after the last incident.
" It's okay, slowly you can fight it. Now, tell mom, how did you lose your poison bag? " Ziyan knew it was A Fei's important item. It's very strange if it's gone.
A Fei woke up and took a deep breath before telling a story. " Mom must have known, at that time I went to look for a missing child. Suddenly a group of assassins ambushed me. Jingu tried to fight back to distract them so I could escape. But who would have guessed that there would be another group. "
" One by one the shadow guards fought them. Several times their attacks almost hit me. Maybe that's when my poison bag went missing. "
" Mommy, didn't the teacher stop making the memory-busting poison. Why is there still poison? Is it the remnant of one of the poison that the teacher created? "
" What do you mean? " Ziyan looked on inexplicably.
Then A Fei began to tell Ziyan about her ex-husband's plan.
" I don't think it was your teacher's. If mother's guess is correct, it must be one of Lucy's former aunty's betrayed assistants. "
" Guru has an assistant? " A Fei was surprised by the fact he had just heard.
" That's right. Unfortunately, the woman betrayed and stole the poison formula. That's why Aunt Lucy didn't have any other students and only had you as a student for the rest of her life. "
" Where is the former assistant teacher? "
" Mom doesn't know. From the last information that mother got, the woman fled to Nan kingdom. "
Again, for the umpteenth time the Nan Empire was dragged.

The Queen's birthday banquet will be held next week. Therefore, this afternoon A Fei went to the auction place. He planned to buy something for the queen mother's gift. But until the event was over, there was not a single interesting item in his eyes. So he decided to go home.
When he arrived at the palace, he saw Jinfu standing in front of the entrance.
" Baby Jinfu? why are you standing here? don't tell me you're waiting for me. " It was very confident that A Fei guessed and managed to make Jinfu misbehave.
" That's it, I really want to meet you. "
" really? then let's go in. " A Fei immediately let Jinfu in.
Jingu has been quiet since, but trust me his heart is rumbling. As he was about to follow them, he saw Arthur from afar. Afraid of being recognized, Jingu had to hide.
" Uncle Arthur are you here? " A Fei asked when she saw the presence of the man in her waiting house.
Arthur had been waiting for A Fei's return. He wanted to say goodbye because he had to go back to the kingdom of Shu.
" What a pity. I wish my uncle could be here longer. " It's sad to have to go back to parting ways with her mother's number one fan.
" If you miss your uncle, come to Shu. You can also visit your sister-in-law at once. "
A Fei shook his head. " It's gonna be hard. Uncle knows for himself how dad. He won't let me go easily. "
Arthur didn't want to admit it but that's what happened.
After a while of chatting, Arthur finally realized there was another figure in the waiting room besides himself and A Fei. It was as if this figure was an invisible creature that had been so faint that Arthur took a long time to realize it.
" Why are you here? did you guys just go together? " Task Arthur full of intimidation.
Either Jinfu had to cry or laugh when Arthur finally realized his whereabouts.
