CHAPTER 900: CHAPTER 351: SCREW YOUR TRAGIC BEAUTY (PART 21)

"Daniu! It really is you! Ten years, a whole ten years, child, where on earth have you been? Your father almost died missing you!"

The look exchanged in the air confirmed to Mr. Tian with excitement: Prince Pingliang truly was his own daughter, Tian Daniu!

Haha, this is great! Truly great!

The ancestors of the Old Tian’s Family must be smiling from their graves; they are finally going to rise above it all!

Prince Pingliang, Super Prince!

With the surname Tian, she belongs to their Old Tian’s Family.

Mr. Tian was so excited that he almost had a stroke on the spot, but his mental fortitude was strong, and he managed to pull through.

Trembling, he leaned on the equally shaken hand of Tian Yaozong, and the father and son struggled to squeeze out of the teahouse, inquiring along the way until they arrived at Prince Pingliang’s Mansion.

Tian Yaozong wanted to rush directly to knock on the door, but Mr. Tian was more cautious.

He pulled his son aside, dragged him to a corner, squatted by the wall, and waited for Prince Pingliang to return to the mansion.

They waited all afternoon until the sun began to dip westward, and they finally heard the sound of hooves and the murmurs of a crowd at the street corner not far away.

After almost a whole day without eating, Mr. Tian perked up instantly upon hearing the sound.

He hurriedly stood up and staggered forward to meet them.

In front of the Prince’s trusted aides and the onlooking crowd, Mr. Tian, overwhelmed with emotion, tears streaming down his face like an aging loving father, uttered these heartfelt words.

"Father?"

In the morning on Vermilion Bird Street, Ms. Hetian had already recognized Mr. Tian.

Though a bit surprised, she wasn’t entirely shocked.

Given Mr. Tian’s character and resourcefulness, it wasn’t surprising he survived the years of famine and war.

And she had become Prince Pingliang, the world’s first female prince of a different surname, unique and fresh.

Though not known worldwide, anyone with a mind to inquire could learn of her background and past.

Knowing that the former Tian Daniu had become the famous Prince Pingliang, as long as Mr. Tian was alive, he would undoubtedly come to find her.

What surprised Ms. Hetian was how quickly Mr. Tian found his way here!

Perhaps Mr. Tian himself was also in the Capital City, which made information more accessible, and he managed to come in the shortest time possible.

As for her biological father, Mr. Tian, Ms. Hetian had long seen through his true nature and held no affection for him.

However, Ms. Hetian would not disown Mr. Tian.

Because in those times, filial piety was king; even though Ms. Hetian was just a prince of a different surname, even if she were the Female Emperor, she was obliged to honor her biological parents.

Even if her parents had once intended to poison her, she should not hold a grudge and should continue to fulfill her filial duties.

If she refused to acknowledge or fulfill her filial duties, Ms. Hetian would be committing a grave offense in the eyes of society and would be socially scorned!

Moreover, recognizing Mr. Tian and performing "filial duties" towards him was not entirely a bad thing.

Revenge doesn’t always need to be blatant; a dull knife can cut without drawing blood but still cause excruciating pain!

"Oh!"

Hearing Prince Pingliang call him "Father" personally, even though the tone carried doubt and exploration, at least the other party did not deny her identity.

For Mr. Tian, this was already something to be greatly pleased about.

Prior to this, Mr. Tian was also worried that Tian Daniu might still hold a grudge over past events, and now that she had prospered and become noble, she might not wish to recognize him as her biological father.

Mr. Tian didn’t rush to the mansion’s gatehouse but waited directly on the street in case Tian Daniu decided to turn against him and disown him; he would then call out publicly.

In front of so many people, with all the high-ranking neighbors surrounding, he didn’t believe Tian Daniu wouldn’t be apprehensive!

As it turned out, although Tian Daniu had become a female prince, she still had a conscience.

Perhaps not overly moved to tears, but she did call out "Father."

He, feeling delighted, responded cheerfully, and the wrinkles on his face spread into a broad smile.

"Right, there’s also your brother!"

Mr. Tian, fearful of leaving out his treasured son, hurriedly waved at Tian Yaozong, "Yaozong, come quickly, you’ve always been longing to see your sister, now that it’s finally happening, why don’t you come over and talk to her?"

Tian Yaozong: ... He was almost dying from excitement, wasn’t he?!

Prince Pingliang, a noble Prince, was truly his own sister, Tian Yaozong.

He’s made it!

This time, he, Tian Yaozong, has really made it big!

"Sister! We’ve finally found you! Sister!! I’ve missed you so much!"

Tian Yaozong, like Mr. Tian, wanted to express some familial affection.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t smart, and his acting was poor; he squeezed his eyes hard but still couldn’t squeeze out a single tear.

Mr. Tian just felt his son was truly hopeless to watch.
