Shen Tang also noticed, "That male just now, he's not your biological father, is he?"
Jia Lan respectfully referred to him as father in word, but his tone was completely cold and distant. A biological father wouldn't talk to his son in such a way, even cursing the son as a bastard.
Jia Lan shook his head, "No, he is a consort of my mother, Sivall."
"Consort?"
"Yes, my mother has never established an official Empress; the status of a consort is the same as that of the main husband. Sivall manages the affairs of the harem, and the princes must all respectfully call him father."
"Then... where is your father? I haven't seen him since I returned." Shen Tang came this time not only to meet the Mermaid Empress but also to see this father-in-law she had never met.
She even prepared a gift for the meeting, but unfortunately, she never saw the man, and Jia Lan never mentioned his father either.
