Chapter 108: Past Events of Those Years...
"Yes, Father." Su Leng nodded calmly.
In just four short months, from a useless person who didn't know any martial skills or inner energy, to breaking through to third-level inner energy and becoming an intermediate warrior? Is this possible????
Even some people with exceptional qualifications, known as geniuses, have never heard of anyone having a terrifying cultivation speed!
Su Heng's voice trembled as he spoke: "Feng Er, can you...can you release your aura for Father to see?"
Su Lengfeng didn't say a word, stood up, and began to condense her aura. After a moment, a transparent armor of aura appeared on her body...
Su Heng's eyes nearly popped out, and he stood up from his chair with a "whoosh", staring at Su Feng for a long time before bursting into loud laughter: "Haha, Wind, you're indeed your father's good child! It seems that the Su family has another extraordinary genius!"
Su Ling withdrew her aura and quietly waited for Su Heng to say why he was looking for her.
Su Heng calmed down and said to Su Feng: "Feng, this time you go to Lingyun City, be sure to take good care of your maternal grandfather for your mother and me."
"The wind is clear."
"After all these years, your mother hasn't had it easy either... I hope... your grandfather will consider your face and not be so stubborn anymore..." Su Heng said this, suddenly paused, sighed and continued: "Forget it, go see your mother, she should have something to say to you..."
Su Lingfeng heard Su Heng's words, her eyebrows slightly raised. It seems that the second lady being the daughter of the lord of Lingyun City is true after all. However, she didn't know what had happened between the second lady and her natal family, so much so that they hadn't been in contact for many years...
"Alright, Lingfeng will go take a look at mother's. If father doesn't have any other matters, Lingfeng will retire first."
"Alright, you can go."
Out of Su Heng's study, Su Lingfeng went straight to the residence of the second lady.
The second lady was resting in her bedroom. The maid Meixiang saw Su Lingfeng arrive and hurried to inform her.
Time was not long, Mei Xiang came out and smiled at Su Lingfeng: "Big sister, the second lady asked you to go in."
Su Ling nodded and stepped into the room.
The second lady was sitting against the head of the bed, and when she saw Su Lingfeng come in, she smiled and beckoned to her: "Come, sit here with Mom."
Su Ling walked over and sat down across from her mother-in-law, politely yet distantly saying: "Mother, Su Ling has come to see you."
The second lady looked at Su Feng for a moment before speaking softly: "In the past, was it Mother who neglected you? Will Feng Er blame Mother?"
"It's not her fault." She was just a lonely soul occupying this body.
The second lady heard this and her eyes were filled with mist, she reached out to stroke Su Lingfeng's face and said softly: "Feng'er, you are really mommy's good child..."
"Master, you've been called 'good boy' twice today." Xiaobai shook his little dragon head and communicated with Su Lingfeng: "It's really strange, what kind of eyesight do your dad and mom have? They can actually think you're a good kid!"
Su Leng's mouth twitched slightly at the corner, and he gave Xiao Bai a cold glance.
Su Lingfeng was not used to being touched by her second husband, and she slightly frowned, lightly dodging to one side.
The two women's movements stiffened, and finally, with some embarrassment, they put down their hands, sighed, and took off a bright green bangle from their wrist to hand it over to Su Feng. "This one, Feng'er, you take it."
Su Lingfeng looked at the bangle, slightly furrowed her brow, and didn't reach out to take it. She didn't like wearing accessories, too cumbersome!
The second lady noticed Su Lengfeng's expression and said, "This is your grandmother's keepsake. Your mother let you bring it to see your grandfather, hoping that he will take care of you for the sake of your grandmother..."
This sentence sounds so strange. It's as if she went to Lingyun City and didn't come back for a year or two? Su Lingfeng felt strange in her heart, but her face remained calm, and she reached out to take the bangle.
"The wind has gone to Lingyun City, you must take good care of your maternal grandfather for Mom..."
Xiaobai bit her nail, "It's so strange, yet another familiar phrase..."
"Why is it that for so many years, Mother and Grandfather have had no contact?" Su Lengfeng suddenly asked.
The second lady didn't expect Su Feng to ask so directly, and was stunned for a moment before saying with a apologetic expression: "Your grandfather is angry with your mother, and your mother doesn't dare contact him..."
"Oh? Why did Grandfather scold Mother?" Su Lingfeng stared straight at the second lady, waiting for her next words.
The second wife's expression was somewhat dazed, and after a moment of recollection, she finally spoke: "In those days, I fell in love with your father... because at that time, your father had already married the first wife, and your grandfather did not agree to me marrying him, so... therefore, my mother secretly got together with your father. When your grandfather found out, he was furious and vowed to cut off all ties with me..." The second wife's voice trailed off as she began to cry.
The second lady cried for a moment, then continued: "I became the second lady of the Su family, and for a while, I lived very happily. At that time, your father loved me dearly... but after becoming pregnant with you, your father soon married the third lady again. My heart gradually cooled down, and only then did I believe that your grandfather had disagreed with our union at first because he was thinking of my well-being. But by then, it was already too late..."
"All these years, Mom has not been close to you, also because every time she sees you, she will think of that sweet illusion before I got pregnant with you, and when I was pregnant with you, it was exactly when I lost favor... You haven't been making progress all these years... So I couldn't help but deceive myself in my heart, it's because of you, Feng Er, your father doesn't like me anymore..."
"Master, your mother is really a foolish woman!" Little White, who was listening to the story with great enthusiasm, nodded and commented.
Su Lengfeng didn't bother to comfort Xiaobai, and seeing the second madam crying her heart out, she handed over a handkerchief to her. However, in her heart, she couldn't muster up any sympathy for her - after all, it was all her own doing.
It's a pity for her predecessor, because of her mother's ridiculous self-deception, she was neglected for over a decade, becoming an unloved and uncared-for existence in the Su family.
The second madam wiped away her tears and looked at Su Lingfeng, her expression suddenly turning serious: "Actually, over the years, I've also seen through it. Your father is a man with very deep thoughts. He has never truly loved any of the wives he married. It's all because we had value to him. The first madam's family is a noble family in Da'an country, the third madam may not have a high enough status, but her father was a wealthy merchant, and he married me just because he coveted your grandfather's power..."
P.S: There is one more thing, a bit later.
