Chapter 446 Daddy is Well

Si's father's name was Si Zhongqing. It was said that he studied literature in his early years. Because his eldest brother who inherited the family business died unexpectedly that year, Si's father was forced to take over the entire burden of the Si family, but he still had a scholarly temperament.

Si Linglong suddenly knew who her elder brother had learned this temperament from.

It is said that men become more attractive as they get older, and this is absolutely true for her father. The years have not left many traces on his face. Although he is nearly fifty years old, he is still as strong as pine or cypress. The calm temperament around him is like an ancient jade that has been repeatedly polished on an antique display shelf, which makes people unforgettable.

[I think this is what Ah Yue will look like when he gets old. ]

Si Linglong thought that good-looking people are always treated with special favor by time.

"Dad." Si Jinyu's greeting voice awakened Si Linglong to some of her senses. When she saw Si Jinyu looking at her, she remembered that she had to go and pay her respects.

Although Si Linglong had already guessed the other party's identity, she couldn't help feeling a little awkward and nervous when she saw Si Zhongqing's gentle gaze.

Si Linglong has no parents, so she doesn't know how a normal child gets along with his father. She just thinks of Brother Ba subconsciously in her heart. She imagines that if she were to see Brother Ba now, she would probably not be able to control herself and would rush over to hug him.

Thinking so, Si Linglong quickly walked forward and stretched out her hand as if to give a hug first.

Si Jinyu seemed to sense her intention, and suddenly coughed, then reminded her, "Greet your father first."

Si Linglong was about to open her hands enthusiastically but suddenly stopped, and subconsciously changed her position to a folded fist and greeted the person opposite, "Dad... Dad, how are you!"

Si Zhongqing and the people around him: ? ?

Si Linglong clenched her fists awkwardly.

[Damn it! I didn’t perform well just now. I’ll apply to do it again! ]

It was the first time that Si Linglong met her nominal father, and this father was so handsome. She felt extremely upset.

Si Zhongqing didn't care much about her behavior, and even thought that this slightly awkward look was just like her.

After all, when he sent her to the palace, he knew that she was resentful and was unwilling to say goodbye to him properly before leaving. Now that they met again, she was still willing to call him daddy, which already made him satisfied.

"Your Highness is fine too. It's cold outside. Let's go inside and talk first."

As Si Zhongqing spoke, he glanced at Xie Yun who followed behind him. There seemed to be a flash of surprise in his eyes, which disappeared in an instant, and he turned to speak to him with a smile.

"Thank you, nephew."

Xie Yun stepped forward and raised his hand to greet him, and the group entered the main hall.

As for Zhu Sha, she was taken away and put under guard separately, and no one cared about her at the moment.

Si Linglong faced this "Xie Xian nephew" again, and the mood she had just seen Uncle Mei was instantly lifted again.

Fortunately, she is now a "noble concubine". Even if they were familiar with each other before, he is still a stranger now. Si Linglong feels that it is acceptable for her to not show enough enthusiasm.

Thinking of this, Si Linglong felt more at ease and led Li Sheng forward. Even though her status was much higher than anyone else in the family, Si Linglong did not really mean to have her beautiful father sit in the second seat. She first sent Si Zhongqing to the main seat, and then brought Li Sheng forward to pay his respects.

Before coming, Li Sheng had learned the etiquette of greeting from Shu Hong. He knelt directly on the thick cushion brought by the maid and bowed very politely and seriously.

"Li Sheng pays respects to uncle."

Si Zhongqing, who was called uncle, had a gentle smile on his face. He looked at little Li Sheng with some kindness in his eyes, motioned her to stand up, and then asked Si Jinyu beside him,

"Is this the little girl you were talking about in the letter? She's a good kid."

Si Jinyu nodded slightly, and little Li Sheng immediately looked at Si Linglong with shining eyes. Before coming here, Si Linglong had also considered the problem that her nominal father might not like little Li Sheng, and had also thought of a solution, but now seeing Si Zhongqing's expression, it was no longer necessary.

However, if the child wants to please the elders, he still has to say what needs to be said.

She pulled Li Sheng to her side and explained, "Li Sheng is a child I accidentally adopted in Huguo Temple. She has a predestined relationship with Buddha. The name was given to her by the Emperor himself. However, there are no princes or princesses in the palace yet, so it is not convenient for Li Sheng to be raised in the palace. I can only ask my brother and father to take care of her."

Si Zhongqing nodded when he heard this, "There's no need for a family to be like this. Since this child is destined to be with you, just treat him as your child..."

Si Zhongqing paused when he said this, realizing that something was wrong. After all, Linglong was now a noble concubine, and her child was the emperor's child. He could not recognize her without authorization, so he quickly changed his words.

"…your sister."

Then he glanced at Si Jinyu who was standing beside him, "Your sister is naturally Jinyu's sister. She is being raised in the mansion. You can rest assured."

Upon hearing this, Si Linglong smiled sweetly at her father, and then looked at little Li Sheng beside her. The latter seemed to be happy as well. With his big, bright eyes, he looked at Si Jinyu and called him crisply,

"elder brother!"
