Chapter 943: The Tuoba Dynasty

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an went to Old Master Su and Old Madam Su’s house to talk to Miao Zhizhi about the Miao family.

The old couple had just finished eating and was enjoying the breeze in the courtyard when Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an arrived. The young couple even noticed how big Miao Zhizhi’s belly had gotten.

Su Fengchen spent most of his time caring for his wife. He was always worried that she would become sick and be unable to rest. Miao Zhizhi could see and feel her husband’s care for her. She would feel warm inside whenever she looked at him.

“I’m sorry you couldn’t eat the spicy crabs and crayfish Binglan sent over,” Su Fengchen said, “I’ll make you whatever you want to eat once the baby is born.”

“That’s okay, dear.” Miao Zhizhi smiled and shook her head. “I’m okay as long as you’re around.”

She felt secure when she looked at her husband. Su Fengchen could not help but smile when he heard his wife’s words. He looked at her affectionately and felt a little emotional.

Last year, he felt lost and was somewhat self-destructive. However, Su Binglan cured his hand and gave him a set of skills. He also felt that Miao Zhizhi had given him a home to return to.

Miao Zhizhi noticed her husband’s expression and asked, “What were you thinking about?”

“I was thinking about the first time I saw you.” Su Fengchen smiled.

Miao Zhizhi blinked. “I’m curious about what you thought when you saw me.”

“I didn’t overthink it at that time,” Su Fengchen said, “I just thought that I couldn’t leave you to fend for yourself. Who would’ve thought we’d end up getting married.”

“Do you love me?” Although Miao Zhizhi and Su Fengchen had been together for a long time, she would still ask him that question sometimes.

Su Fengchen blushed as he was too shy to say such things. Still, Miao Zhizhi wanted to hear it. “Well?”

Su Fengchen looked toward the courtyard. Fortunately, his parents were out there, or he could not bring himself to express his love for his wife. He looked at her expectantly and said, “Of course I love you.”

Sometimes, he wondered why his wife always asked that question. Miao Zhizhi happily smiled when she heard his answer. It improved Su Fengchen’s mood exponentially.

Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an saw the young couple when they arrived. Su Binglan thought that was what true peace looked like and could not bear to disturb Su Fengchen and Miao Zhizhi.

However, Miao Zhizhi saw Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an at the door. “Binglan, is that you?”

Miao Zhizhi was excited to see her niece. She knew Su Binglan was the person she had to thank the most for her warm and loving life. Moreover, she wanted to pamper Su Binglan.

Su Binglan smiled and asked, “I didn’t disturb you and Uncle Fengchen, did I?”

Miao Zhizhi blushed and shook her head. “Of course not! Come in, come in.”

“Be careful, dear. Don’t fall, okay?” Su Fengchen said as he gently held his wife.

“I’m fine, honey.” Miao Zhizhi waved. She knew her body well and that she had eaten and slept well. Since she was in a good mood, the baby should be okay.

Although Su Fengchen could not stop worrying about her, she enjoyed seeing his concern for her.

Su Binglan approached the couple and said, “Uncle Fengchen, I have something private to discuss with Aunt Zhizhi.”

“What is it?” Su Fengchen asked worriedly.

“Don’t worry. I just want to ask Aunt Zhizhi about some things that only she would know. It’s nothing bad.”

Su Fengchen knew his niece had her ways of doing things and stopped worrying. Even so, he was confused and concerned just now. Meanwhile, Miao Zhizhi knew it should concern the Miao family when she looked into Su Binglan’s eyes.

She looked at her husband and said, “I’ll go inside and talk to Binglan first.”

Su Fengchen nodded, and Luo Jin’an stayed with him in the courtyard.

When the two women entered the house, Miao Zhizhi asked, “Binglan, you want to discuss my family, right?”

Su Binglan nodded. “That’s right. I didn’t want to involve you, but I had no choice because you should know them best. The situation is pretty severe, so I wanted to ask if there’s an outsider amongst your family. Are the people in your family working for this so-called outsider?”

Miao Zhizhi became wide-eyed when she heard that. “There’s indeed an outsider named Tuoba Liuyun. A few years ago, he got injured and fell into my family’s territory, and they saved him.

“After that, he somehow gained my mother’s trust. She then let him live with them. When I became his fiancee, I didn’t expect him to have already conspired with my sister to frame me.

“I accidentally learned about it when I overheard him talking to his subordinates. They called him Master Liuyun.”

Su Binglan’s eyes widened as she thought, ‘Indeed, I’ve heard of the Tuoba surname in the previous dynasty. If that’s the case, things should be easier to explain.’

It was highly likely that Tuoba Liuyun wanted to restore his family’s dynasty.

Miao Zhizhi paled when she thought about him. She said, “He’s a capable man and has also learned some of my family’s secret techniques. He was cunning enough to manipulate my sister into doing his bidding.

“They even caused some of my family members’ deaths. They’ve taken control of many of my family’s forces. If not for that, they wouldn’t have been able to hurt me.”

Miao Zhizhi had almost died because of her sister and Tuoba Liuyun. Luckily, Su Fengchen found and saved Miao Zhizhi. Even so, the people of the Miao family probably thought she had died.

Miao Zhizhi did not want to think about her family anymore if she could. She did not even want to return to them.

Su Binglan’s expression turned cold as she asked, “Some of the parasites came from the Miao family. Your sister likely cultivated them, right?”

Miao Zhizhi nodded. “Indeed, she had learned to be ruthless long ago. My sister’s name is Miao Sisi.”

Although Miao Zhizhi said they were sisters, they were not biologically related. Su Binglan then asked her about the Miao family, and Miao Zhizhi told her niece everything she knew.

“Binglan, do you need me to do anything?”

Su Binglan smiled and said, “You only need to care for your child, Aunt Zhizhi. Leave your family to me, okay?”

“B-But—” Miao Zhizhi was worried about her niece.

Su Binglan reassured her, “Trust me, Aunt Zhizhi.”

After all, Su Binglan knew all of the family’s secret techniques and abilities. She even knew how to deal with the parasites. Now, she only needed to go to the Miao family for a few more answers.
