Reborn In The Three Kingdoms

Chapter 87: 87.Relationship

He Jin: "I always thought that Governor Lie Fan would never come out and stay hidden at your estate like a mouse but looks like I was wrong and underestimated Governor Lie's calculations, especially on this matter! I don't know if Your Majesty is making the right choice inviting another tiger to enter the mountain!"

Lie Fan: "Grand General's words are too unsightly, you should have been a role model for all Generals and Military Officials. But what you have done in the past year hasn't shown the correct behavior of a General Of the Han Dynasty, especially being the Brother In Law of Your Majesty."

He Jin: "Haha! Governor Lie truly lives up to their reputation, as a young and hot-headed General who cares for the people and Our Empire. But sometimes turning a blind eye is also a skill a general has to have."

Lie Fan and He Jin trading verbal words, all officials that haven't left the Court see the battle of the nerve between two of the three bigwigs at the Court.

All the people who supported either Lie Fan or He Jin began to stand behind the people that they supported. In the future, this will be known as Lie Fan's first step in reaching his hegemony and is debated as one of the most important parts of Lie Fan's step to conquer the land.

Of course, this is for the future. Right now Lie Fan and He Jin stand face to face like two tigers that will have a duel while the people who support each side either snort or glare each other.

Lie Fan: "Then let's see who will win this battle, I truly hope that Grand General doesn't underestimate me and Baohuzhe."

He Jin: "Baohuzhe? Who's Baohuzhe?"

Lie Fan: "The name of the Group I created to support Your Majesty and help the people that suffer from the squabble that happened before."

He Jin laughed out loud, he truly thinks that Lie Fan is only good at the battlefield by creating a name for his Group that he created. Cao Cao who stands behind He Jin thinks the other way, naming a group of people that come together brings them closer and gives a sense of closeness to the members.

Cao Cao truly thinks Lie Fan is a genius of this era, a Genius that he wanted to befriend and kill at the same time. Having him as a friend is a blessing while having Lie Fan as an enemy is a nightmare.

Lie Fan can only smile at He Jin's laugh shaking his head and swinging around leading his supporters to leave the Imperial Court.

What Cao Cao doesn't know is that Jia Xu and Xun You who will become members of his Think Tank in the future now work under Lie Fan that he doesn't even know their existence yet.

Lie Fan leading his supporters walks out from the Imperial Court and walks down the steps together. He talked with Wang Yun and Zhu Jun who were standing beside him telling them to guard against He Jin's attacks and recruit the lower-ranking officials as they are important parts of his next step.

Lie Fan says his goodbye to everyone when they reach the Entrance of The Palace, Everyone either boards their carriage or walks back to their estate.

Lie Fan enters his carriage alongside his advisors and his bodyguards ride their horses to protect the carriage from 4 sides. Lie Fan told the driver to go back to his estate, for him doing battle of wits with old foxes is more tiring than having a battle.

He was beginning to think about letting Jia Xu and the others do this for him and he will only receive results. No matter how much knowledge he has about the future, his experience in doing this is none.

Now that he has people serving him capable of doing this, he just became a figurehead and sometimes does his part. 20 minutes later Lie Fan arrived back at His home, he got down from his carriage and was surprised to see Diao Chan with her handmaiden walking toward him.

Lie Fan: "Miss Diao Chan what brings you here?"

Diao Chan: "What? Brother Lie Fan forgot about his promise to me?"

Lie Fan: "It's not like that, I'm just surprised as it's already afternoon so I don't expect you will come today. Does Master Wang Yun know about you leaving the house?"

Diao Chan: "Haha, I feel happy that Brother Lie Fan is thinking of me. My Father will know that I am leaving to visit Sister Ying Yue when he arrives back home"

Lie Fan can only smile at Diao Chan's reply of not informing Wang Yun about her going out, Lie Fan invited Diao Chan to enter the manor with him followed by Diao Chan's handmaiden and his retinue.

Lie Fana and Diao Chan walk side by side entering the beautiful garden that Yu Yan and Ying Yue take care of together. Both of them began to exchange some miscellaneous topics about the weather and how beautiful the garden was.

Lie Fan also talks about some interesting things from the future that he altered so it relates to the sense of this era. He also tells about some jokes that he still remembers from the future, Diao Chan finds it amusing that Lie Fan while still busy knows about things like this.

For a while, laughter can be heard from the garden attracting the attention of servants and maids that pass by. They were surprised when they saw Lie Fan talking with a beautiful and elegant woman making some of the maids that are close to Ying Yue feel bad for her.

Wannian who was playing with snow also saw this scene when she wanted to visit Ying Yue to ask if she wanted to play with her. She saw a beautiful sister talking with Lie Fan even touching his shoulder when she laughed and immediately ran to report this to Ying Yue.

Ying Yue right now is in the tea room alongside Yu Yan, Yu Yan likes to drink tea at this time so Ying Yue always accompanies her. Yu Yan also thinks this is the perfect chance for her to ask Ying Yue about her quietness yesterday.

Yu Yan: "Yue'er can Mother ask you a question?"

Ying Yue: "Mother can ask Yue'er anything and Yue'er will try her best to answer it."

Yu Yan: "Is there something wrong? Why have you been so quiet since yesterday? Are you fighting with Fan'er?"

Ying Yue who heard this began to tremble a bit and tighten her his on the teapot she was holding. Yu Yan saw this small movement and instantly knew she hit the nail in the coffin.

Yu Yan: "So it's Fan'er who caused you to stay quiet since yesterday, that brat must have done something wrong! Tell Mother what he has done to you and Mother will help you find justice."

Ying Yue feels warm with the care and consideration Yu Yan is giving to her. She was an orphan who was taken in by the Lie Clan and was lucky to be noticed by Lie Fan becoming a childhood friend.

Yu Yan and Lie Shang treat her well and never look down on her, allowing her to play with Lie Fan and even taking care of her which is why she is scared that they will know the relationship she and Lie Fan have as she doesn't want to lose the parent future she had.

Fortunately, both of them accepted and even supported the relationship she had with Lie Fan. They even tell her to tell them if Lie Fan ever treats her badly they will teach Lie Fan a lesson in her name.

Ying Yue: "It's not my Husband's fault Mother, I just need time to take in the news he gave to me."

Yu Yan: "Oh? What news is it that hit you so hard? Does he have another woman outside and want to abandon you?!"

Ying Yue: "No Mother! My husband will never abandon me I trust the love he has for me, it just looks like I will have a wife sister in the future..."

Yu Yan who heard this felt like lightning had hit her, even though she at first supported Lie Fan having more than 1 wife but seeing how Lie Fan and Ying Yue interacted with each other she thought that they would become just like her and her husband.

Yu Yan: "That bastard! Yue'et don't be sad let Mother take care of him for you, don't be sad okay?"

Ying Yue: "No don't do that Mother, Yue'er understands that my Husband will become an outstanding man. I only need some time to be alone and take it all in."

Yu Yan seeing the sad smile Ying Yue giving to her can only shake her head and sigh, She can't do anything more than just scold Lie Fan as Lie Fan is already an adult and can make his own decisions.

Yu Yan stood up and took a sit beside Ying Yue, patting her back and half hugging her. She can only comfort her and give words of encouragement, she can't say that she understands what Ying Yue is feeling as she can be said to be one of the fortunate women to have a husband that only have 1 wife in this era.

While Yu Yan is comforting Ying Yue, Wannian comes running in followed by Snow. Both Yu Yan and Ying Yue were startled when Wannian suddenly barged in. Seeing the unladylike manner Wannian has, she closes her little daughter.

Wannian doesn't care about Yu Yan scolding her, she jumps up and down shaking her hand to stop Yu Yan from talking. Yu Yan seeing the strange movement her daughter is doing stops talking surprised by her daughter's movement.

Wannian: "Mother! Sister Yue! I just saw Big Brother talking with a beautiful woman in the garden! They were laughing happily!"

Yu Yan and Ying Yue are both surprised when they hear this, Yu Yan stands up and walks toward the garden. Ying Yue on the other hand just has a sad smile on her face and does not dare to follow Yu Yan as she isn't ready to see the picture that Wannian just described.
