Even after Shen Fei gave birth to a son and a daughter, Su Yunqi did not treat her better. When he visited Shen Fei occasionally, it was only to speak to his two children and treated Shen Fei as though she were a stranger…
When Su Zhe and Su Shan were young, they did not understand what was going on, they only thought that their mother and father did not like to hold conversations. However, as the two children slowly grew up and matured, they realized that their father did not love their mother, nor did he love them…
Under the deliberated arrangements of the Second Madam Lin Yue, Su Zhe and Su Shan always saw their Father who was strict with them and hardly smiled, interacting happily, lovingly, and gently with their other sister—Su Qing…
Additionally, because of the rumors the Second Madam Lin Yue deliberately spread, Su Zhe and Su Shan drifted further away from Su Yunqi and even became resentful towards him. In the end, they wouldn’t even meet for years…
Gradually, Su Yunqi was no longer fond of Su Zhe and Su Shan…
When Second Madam’s daughter, Su Qing, was 18 years old, she followed her cousin out and trained for about a month. After she returned, she was completely different…
Initially, Lin Yue thought that her daughter shut herself in the room because she felt inferior to others as she was not as capable as others due to her weak body…
However, Lin Yue gradually found out that something was wrong when she realized that there were changes in Su Qing’s body. After Lin Yue questioned her, Su Qing confessed that she fell in love with a man when she was training and lost her virginity…
The worst part was that Su Qing fell in love with that man at first sight. Apart from knowing his name and that he was an alchemist, she knew nothing about him…
Lin Yue made Su Qing draw a picture of him, however, they could not find him. Because Su Qing’s body was originally weak and was not suitable for abortion, she could only let Su Qing give birth to the baby…
The first daughter was Su Ruoqi and for Su Qing’s reputation, what happened was covered up by Lin Yue and only Su Yunqi knew about it. That period of time, Su Qing was arranged to stay in the secret room in Lin Yue’s courtyard…
They thought that everything was over, however, two years later Su Qing went missing again. Su Qing suddenly saw a man when she was returning home after making clothes, then she left her servant girl behind and ran after the man…
Three days later, Su Qing returned to the Prince’s mansion with a smile on her face. After Lin Yue asked, she learned that Su Qing found her daughter’s father, who was the alchemist then…
Both of them spent three days together and the man promised Su Qing that he would bring along a generous amount of gift and propose to marry her half a month later. Even though Second Madam Lin Yue was frustrated at her daughter, she could not bear to scold her as she saw how happy she was. Furthermore, Su Ruoqi was growing up and she couldn’t be hidden in the secret room forever…
However, Su Qing waited in the mansion for three months, needless to say, the marriage proposal—she did not even receive any news…
This time, Su Qing was affected deeply and she fell ill completely. When she was being treated, it was discovered that she was pregnant again! The man was incredible, he could get her pregnant every time…
While Su Qing was devastated, her body was losing weight drastically and could not withstand any other illness—it was impossible for her to abort the baby. Su Yunqi employed an imperial doctor with a high price to stay in the Prince’s mansion to take care of Su Qing’s body…
Finally, when Su Ruolin was born, Su Qing passed away at a young age…
It was easy to explain if there was one child, but there were suddenly two more children, there was no way to explain it. Additionally, when Su Qing was pregnant the first time, she was hidden away and nobody knew that she was pregnant. After that, she passed away…
Lin Yue, who loved her daughter very much, clenched her teeth and made a decision! She pleaded with the Prince to adopt the two children as daughters! Initially, Su Yunqi did not agree to it. After all, how could they address their grandmother as Mother? It was ridiculous…
However, he was unable to withstand Lin Yue’s consistent persuasion about how she did not wish the children to be sad in the future when they ask about their parents. Su Yunqi always felt sorry toward Lin Yue regarding the Shen Fei matter, so he agreed with Lin Yue in the end…
So, Su Ruoqi and Su Ruolin became Lin Yue’s daughters. Because of this, the servants in the Prince’s mansion then, regardless of new or old, as long as they knew the existence of Su Qing, were all gotten rid of! Now, in the entire Prince’s mansion, only Shen Fei, her children, Su Yunqi and Lin Yue knew about the existence of Su Qing…
Since both Su Zhe and Su Shan disliked Su Yunqi, after they graduated, they only returned occasionally to visit their mother. They were not concerned about how there were two more daughters in the Prince’s mansion…
Later on when Su Zhe went out for training, Su Shan would stay behind to accompany Shen Fei or cultivate in seclusion…
When Su Zhe brought back the newly born Su Ruoxi, he knew that with his mother’s character, it would not take long for her to be killed by Second Madam if he left her in his mother’s hands…
Hence, Su Zhe looked for Su Yunqi for the first time and left young Su Ruoxi with his father. After that, he left the Prince’s mansion and never returned…
On the other hand, Su Ruoxi’s aunt, Su Shan, searched for her brother for a long time, but it was to no avail. After she returned, she arranged for someone to protect Su Ruoxi and Shen Fei and chose to cultivate in seclusion for years until now…
Till now, Su Ruoxi could not understand what Lin Yue was thinking. She couldn’t understand why a woman would allow her granddaughter to call her Mother? How screwed up must it be…
She felt that it must not be as simple as that, but she could not think of anything else…
Thinking of her grandmother and the aunty she had never met, Su Ruoxi had some ideas in her mind…
In Su Yunqi’s study.
The butler knelt on the floor, trembling, he did not know why the Prince would call him over in the middle of the night. Furthermore, it was not a servant girl who called him over, it was the shadow guards beside the Prince who brought him over…
The Prince sat on the chair without lighting up the lamps in the room, only the faint moonlight shone in. The butler was panicking but did not dare to speak…
“Butler Ma, how long have you been working in my mansion?” Su Yunqi asked.
“Prince, I have worked in the Prince’s mansion for 11 years!” Butler Ma replied immediately.
“11 years is it? Then, have I mistreated you?” Su Yunqi asked with a cold smile.
“No, No, Prince. You have always been very nice to us and never were we mistreated!” Butler Ma was confused by Su Yunqi’s questions and replied carefully.
“Is it? Since I have not mistreated you, why did you hide the truth and allow the First Madam’s yard to become so old and shabby? If I had not witnessed it with my own eyes, I would not have known that the First Madam of Prince Su had to live in such a state!” Su Yunqi slammed the table and shouted in anger.
