163 A strange emptiness within me

Xianwu pulled the reins of the horse in front of the residence and saw the crowd of people in front of the Lee Residence. Pushing everyone aside, he entered the house. His feet came to a sudden halt seeing the lifeless body of his father covered in blood.

Lady Lingji was profusely crying at the loss of her husband while his both half-brothers were sitting at the feet of their father with shocked expressions.

With slow steps, Xianwu walked toward his father when Lady Lingji noticed him. She quickly stood up and started cursing him. "It happened because of you. My husband was sent in such a state. What will we do now?" She started hitting Xianwu's chest, forgetting his status as the Crown Prince.

Yujin stood up to stop his mother. He held her arms and hugged her while keeping his hand on her head to caress it. He couldn't stop his tears from pouring down and looked at Xianwu, who hadn't shed a single tear till now.
