Ultimate Series, Past Lives Revealed

120: the truthEver since that day, Hao Ge had been absent-minded, as if she had lost her Soul.

Her thoughts always drifted far away, making her unable to concentrate on daily affairs.

In the end, she simply decided to request leave from the Empress again, hoping to temporarily set aside her work. She wanted to investigate the matter of Dongfang Longji.

The Empress had also heard about the accident involving Hao Ge’s Primary Husband and expressed understanding of her situation.

Thus, the Empress readily agreed to Hao Ge’s request and dispatched others to temporarily guard the border in her stead, allowing her to peacefully handle her family affairs.

Hao Ge hurried back to the Generals Mansion with only one thought in mind—to find Dongfang Longji.

She went straight to Dongfang Longji’s courtyard. However, when she saw the scene before her, her heart couldn’t help but tremble.

The once tidy courtyard had now become a ruin, with broken walls and debris scattered everywhere in a mess.

Hao Ge’s voice trembled slightly as she asked, ’Have you found out?’ The Steward stood to the side, looking troubled, as if there was something difficult to say.

The Steward hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, ’Madam, this...’ His words were interrupted by Hao Ge, who seemed impatient. She said sharply, ’What are the findings?’

The Steward sighed helplessly and had no choice but to take out the compiled investigation results and hand them to Hao Ge.

Hao Ge took the results and quickly scanned through them. However, after reading them, she turned pale with anger and finally laughed out of sheer fury.

’Good, really good!’

Hao Ge’s laughter was filled with anger and disappointment, ’To actually fake his death, what a fine son raised by the Prime Ministers Estate!’

Her face was full of rage, and her hands tightly clenched the investigation results, as if they were the source of all her resentment.

She suddenly flung her hand, throwing the investigation results at the Steward like trash, and roared angrily, ’Take this to the Prime Ministers Estate and let them have a good look at the fine son they raised!’

Inside the Prime Ministers Estate, Dongfang Longji’s mother received the documents handed over by the Steward with a grave expression.

She slowly unfolded the paper, carefully reading its contents. Every word felt like a heavy hammer striking her heart.

Finally, she let out a long sigh and said faintly, ’Dongfang Longji is already dead!’ Then, without hesitation, she concluded, ’Don’t tell this to my husband. He failed to teach his son properly, so let’s just act as if he was never born.’

After the Steward brought back the results, he faithfully conveyed the attitude of the Prime Ministers Estate. Upon hearing this, Hao Ge’s face instantly turned extremely dark. She clenched her fist tightly, her nails digging deep into her palm, yet she felt no pain. After a moment of silence, she squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth, ’Since my Mother-in-law has said so, then prepare the funeral for the Primary Husband.’

From that day on, Hao Ge shut herself in her study, spending her days accompanied by wine. She drank herself into a stupor every day, then staggered out, her face filled with pain and despair.

The Steward watched this with pain in his heart, and his resentment towards Dongfang Longji grew day by day: ’How can a man be so jealous and envious! Which woman doesn’t have three husbands and four attendants? Only he is so overly sensitive!’

It wasn’t until the Generals Mansion began holding the funeral that the news spread like wildfire through the streets and alleys. People discussed it everywhere, finding it truly regrettable that General Hao Ge’s Primary Husband had passed away so suddenly.

Everyone couldn’t help but sigh for Dongfang Longji, feeling that he truly had no fortune, losing his life at such a young age.

When Liu Hekuan learned of this news, his first reaction was that it was absolutely impossible.

However, after he further understood the situation in General Hao Ge’s inner courtyard, his doubts gradually dissipated, replaced by a vague sense of realization.

Liu Hekuan’s eyes stared blankly into the distance, as if he could see some hidden truth through that Void Realm.

His thoughts gradually drifted far away, lost in contemplation. In the end, he could only silently pray in his heart for Dongfang Longji, hoping he would find happiness.

General Hao Ge naturally also wanted to find Dongfang Longji and understand his thoughts.

However, despite the myriad of entanglements in her heart, she ultimately did not take action.

Perhaps it was because she felt that since Dongfang Longji had already left, even if she begged and pleaded, he would not return to her side.

Ye Siren from the Iron Universe: ’If you like him, why not go find him and bring him back?’

Iron Time-Space Brother Xiong: ’Like him? Hah, what kind of liking is this? It’s just wanting to have your cake and eat it too!’

Hao Jiaqi from the Gold Time Dimension: ’I hope Dongfang Longji can live well. Otherwise, wouldn’t his escape be in vain?’

Tong Era Xiang Ning: ’I don’t think he was wrong. Shouldn’t love be pure?’

Cao Cao: ’But that was a feudal era. In that era, Dongfang Longji’s way of thinking was unconventional!’

Silver Time Space Xiao Qiao: ’If he could come to our world, he would definitely be happy!’
