“Haha, fake? Just because of Second Madam’s words, you think I am a fake? Prince Su, your intelligence is worrying! Since when were the judgments of Prince Su decided by a woman’s words!” A sarcastic smile flashed across Su Ruoxi’s face.
Su Yunqi was taken aback! Indeed, why did he believe that she was a fake just because Yue-er said she was? With her capabilities and aura, why would she impersonate a good-for-nothing? Was he mistaken?
“How do you prove that you are speaking the truth?” Su Yunqi asked in a slightly eased tone.
“Prove? Because I am Su Zhe’s daughter and no one is worthy enough for me to impersonate. Also, it’s because I know how you treat the only daughter of your son…” Su Ruoxi said coldly.
Every word hit Su Yunqi hard. Su Ruoxi was right! Just because he disliked Shen Fei being his wife, since Su Zhe was rebellious, since he lost his only son when Su Ruoxi was born…
So, he left his good-for-nothing granddaughter to suffer in the mansion! But, he remembered he ordered that no one was to harm Su Ruoxi’s life…
She was indeed still alive, wasn’t she?
Six years ago, Ruoqi and Ruolin ran to him and said that Ruoxi went out with her servant girl but have yet to return…
He sent men out to look for them. However, they only found her servant girl, and she said that they were lost in the forest. It was dark, and they could not see the route which resulted in Ruoxi falling off the cliff. She was afraid and when she finally made it out of the forest, she was found by the guards.
The next day, he sent men with the servant girl to look for her. His men came back to report that the place Ruoxi fell was the Fallen Skies Valley. It was a notoriously dangerous place. It was an abyss. There was no way they could look for her body…
That was why they were sure that Su Ruoxi was dead…
However, how could he be blamed? He was a Prince and all the affairs in the mansion were attended to by his wife. Furthermore, he disliked Su Ruoxi, of course, he wouldn’t take note of her…
Now that he was faced with these allegations, it made Su Yunqi uncomfortable…
Looking at how much Su Ruoxi looked like his son, Su Yunqi fell into his chair…
Su Ruoxi did not say anything else. She was not here to acknowledge him as her grandfather, and she did not need his sympathy! She was not the one who experienced everything. It was the already dead Su Ruoxi…
“When Zhe-er left, he only handed you to me! He asked me to …”
“Take care of you.” Su Yunqi realized that he could not speak of the last few words.
It was only now that he remembered. That was the only time Zhe-er spoke to him nicely. When he was hugging onto baby Ruoxi. Other times, he would always rebut him because of his mother…
Then, Zhe-er asked him awkwardly to take care of the baby, but he…
Thinking of this, for the first time, Su Yunqi felt apologetic. He felt so apologetic that he did not dare to look up at Su Ruoxi…
“Is that all? Did father leave anything behind? Who is my mother?” Su Ruoxi did not want to look at his sudden sad state and asked.
“Your father asked me to pass this to you! As for your mother, none of us met her. Your father did not mention anything!” Speaking of this, Su Yunqi was slightly agitated.
He even brought his granddaughter back but did not bring his daughter in law back to meet them…
Su Ruoxi took the box that Su Yunqi passed over, but she did not open it immediately. She kept it…
Su Yunqi looked up at Su Ruoxi’s familiar face and asked uncertainly, “Are you really Xi-er?”
Su Ruoxi looked at him and answered, “Yes!”
“Then, all these years…” He wanted to ask where she had been. But, when he met with her cold glance, he did not continue to ask.
“I am great! I wouldn’t die that easily!” Su Ruoxi laughed coldly.
Su Ruoxi wanted to ask him about Second Madam’s plans of letting her marry off in place of Su Ruolin. But she dismissed the idea…
“If there is nothing else, then I shall leave!” She left before Su Yunqi could react.
The moment Su Ruoxi left, the secret guards recovered…
Su Yunqi looked at where Su Ruoxi was standing previously in shock. If it wasn’t that the box was missing, he couldn’t believe that Su Ruoxi really came…
Thinking of what Su Ruoxi said, Su Yunqi fell silent and left his study. He did not go back to rest. Instead, he asked the servants to lead him to Shen Fei’s yard…
When the servant girl heard that Su Yunqi was going to Shen Fei’s yard, she was unwilling and wanted to report to Second Madam. However, Su Yunqi found out something was amiss and asked the secret guards to knock the servant girl unconscious…
Then, he walked toward Shen Fei’s yard. He could still remember the way to Shen Fei’s yard, but when he was physically in front of her yard, he was utterly shocked…
No matter what, this was still his mansion. When did the residence of his wife become so shabby? He was boiling on the inside…
“Go and get the butler. Don’t be startled Yue-er!” Su Yunqi thought that it was the slaves who skimped on the spending.
“Yes, Prince!” The secret guard paused and went ahead with his orders.
Su Yunqi looked at the shabby yard. There weren’t even guards at the front of the door. He went straight in and realized that the lights of one of the rooms were still lit. He walked over…
When he was at the door, he heard the conversation inside…
“Madam, did you know? Xi-er is back.” A voice sounding excitedly was heard.
“Really? Xi-er is back? Xi-er is really back?” Shen Fei asked weakly.
“Yes, I heard the chef and the servant girls talking about it. Just that…” Her granny handmaiden hesitated.
“What is it? Did something happen to Xi-er?” Shen Fei asked nervously.
“What happened to Xi-er? Tell me… Did something happen to Xi-er…” Shen Fei asked agitatedly.
“Madam, don’t worry. Let me tell you slowly. Have some water!” The granny handmaiden passed a cup of water to Shen Fei.
Su Yunqi could hear Shen Fei’s weak coughing, and his steps halted. He couldn’t step in…
