Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King's Wife

Chapter 494 - Mother And Son’s Recognition Part 4

No matter what, they mustn’t let what happened that year occur again…

Mu Ru Yue looked at the letter in her hand within the Pill Tower. She pressed it into her embrace as though it were her treasure. A faint smile dawned upon her impeccable face, enhancing her peerless appearance.

Yet, at this moment, an angry shout was heard echoing throughout the Pill Tower. “Who is the descendant of Xiao Yun? Quickly scram out here and be killed by me!”

Mu Ru Yue’s brows rose as she pushed open the door. Simultaneously, Xiao Yun and Yao Yun Qing came out of their room.

A weird expression could be seen in Mu Ru Yue’s eyes when she saw them leaving the room together.

“Yue Er, what are you looking at?” Yao Yun Qing’s delicate face flushed as she glared bashfully at Mu Ru Yue. She felt embarrassed when she saw the other girl sizing her up.

“Oh, nothing. I was just thinking that you two are rather quick in accepting reality and are living together already.”

Perhaps it was because Mu Ru Yue knew her son had left Zi Feng’s control that she was in a good mood and she couldn’t help but tease them.

Xiao Feng’s expression was as cold as always without any ripples in his eyes. But a faint doting expression could be seen when he looked at Mu Ru Yue.

Yao Yun Qing’s delicate and pretty face flushed once more. She glared at Mu Ru Yue again, but had smiles in her eyes as she rebuked, “What are you thinking about? I was just discussing something with Feng.”

“You even call him Feng. How can what I think be wrong? Eldest brother, we should make a trip to the Sheng Domain after we settled the matters here and arrange your marriage ceremony.”

Yao Yun Qing’s face was so red that it might even drip blood, but she did give a side-glance to Xiao Feng.

She had no longer believed in love after the betrayal she experienced and didn’t dare to love someone again. Even so, she would never forget how this man had risked his life to save her when she was in a crisis.

Perhaps her heart had been moved at that moment.

Thus, she didn’t reject the man’s advances when he had been drugged with aphrodisiac…

Xiao Feng looked at Yao Yun Qing and said, “We can let her meet with father and mother first, but we still need the agreement of the Yao family before we can be wed.”

Yao Yun Qing’s expression darkened slightly when she heard the two words, ‘Yao family’. She gave a helpless sigh after a long moment. “Actually, the Yao family is really complicated. My father is too weak and my mother always listens to him so even though grandfather wanted to pass the Yao family to him to govern long ago, he was afraid that my father wouldn’t be able to control those old fellows. Furthermore, my grandfather’s physical condition had been worsening lately. In addition to the many injuries he’d acquired over the years flaring up from time to time, perhaps he only has a few years left to live. Hence, he hastily passed the power of the Yao family on to me.”

Mu Ru Yue’s brows rose as she asked, “Then what is it with your Second Uncle?”

Yao Yun Qing bit her lips as she explained with a bitter smile, “Second Uncle is really scheming and ruthless. Grandfather has always disliked him so he didn’t pass the family authority to him. Yet, Second Uncle has a lot of connections. Although I have been designated as the successor of the family, the only person I can trust in the Yao family is Elder Zhang. Almost everyone else has already sided with Second Uncle. Those that are loyal to grandfather are obviously displeased that grandfather passed the power of the family to me, though they didn’t comment on it. I am just a girl after all…”

A girl would definitely marry someone in her life. Then, wouldn’t all of her possessions become the man’s after marriage? It was the same case even in Hua Xia.

Generally, those parents who had sons and daughters would focus primarily on their sons rather than their daughters. Some would even think they were giving away their money if they were to place too much of their assets on their daughters.
