All-around doctor Rong Sheng, after being brought to ancient times by a system, was as busy as a spinning top treating illnesses.
She was too tired and wanted to go home to leisurely farm.
Gu Beiyi had also told Rong Sheng that this courtyard was where her parents lived after they got together. It contained all the little moments her parents shared. No matter where Feng Sijin was, she could see her memories with Su Mei. It was because of these memories that Feng Sijin had managed to survive until now.
Feng Sijin smiled warmly and said, "That's right, I called you here today because I wanted to tell you about your mother!"
Rong Sheng immediately sat up straight, her watery eyes staring intently at Feng Sijin. "Father, tell me quickly, what kind of person is my mother? I've never met her, and I don't know what she looks like, what her personality is like, what happened between her and you, Father, and how you fell in love!"
Feng Sijin's handsome face was filled with happiness, and his dark eyes shone with dazzling light. His gaze towards Rong Sheng seemed to transcend time and space, and even life and death, to see Su Mei, who had once been smiling, domineering, and obedient and adorable in front of him.
“Your mother… is very good, a very gentle woman! And a woman who clearly distinguishes between love and hate!” Feng Sijin said slowly, “Her name is Su Mei! But Shengbao, your mother’s Su has absolutely no relation to the Su family of Su Wenxian, the richest man in our Qingluan Kingdom. They are completely unrelated! So you don’t need to worry about your third brother Rong Mu and Miss Su Wenlan.”
Rong Sheng nodded: "I understand, Father!"
“Your mother is from the capital, but she’s just an ordinary person with no background or status! She’s just the daughter of an ordinary family!” Feng Sijin’s mind immediately flashed back to the scene of her meeting with Su Mei years ago. Her dark eyes curved into a smile, and then she looked at Rong Sheng: “Sheng Bao, you’re a doctor. Have you ever heard of such a disease? A disease where a person can’t live without another person, and will die if they are separated?”
Rong Sheng shook her head truthfully.
Feng Sijin said, "Your mother has this kind of illness. She can't be away from me for more than fifteen days! Once she's away from me for more than fifteen days, her heart stops beating, her blood stops flowing, her breathing slowly disappears, and she eventually dies! If I appear by her side, her heartbeat will start beating again, her blood will start flowing again, her breathing will return, and she will live like an ordinary person, not at all like someone who is sick."
"How did Father know that Mother had this disease?" Rong Sheng asked curiously. He was really curious about his mother's illness, as he had never encountered such a disease before, and he wondered if it was hereditary!
Feng Sijin, lost in her memories, slowly recounted: "When your father met your mother, he was attacked because of the competition for the position of family head. He accidentally fell at the door of Mei'er's house and was rescued by Mei'er. But because I was being chased at the time, I couldn't appear in public, so Mei'er hid me in their cellar and took care of me with three meals a day and changed my clothes!"
At that time, I unfortunately suffered from amnesia! So I didn't know who I was. But adults have the ability to judge. When I first saw your mother, I was captivated by her radiant beauty! I believed your mother was the most beautiful woman in the Azure Phoenix Kingdom; no other woman could compare to her!
“So Father fell in love with Mother at first sight!” Rong Sheng said.
Feng Sijin nodded: "That's right, I fell in love with your mother at first sight! So when I opened my eyes and saw your mother for the first time, she said she was my wife, and I believed her!"
Because of his amnesia, he couldn't remember anyone, but the scene of Su Mei saving him was deeply etched in his mind. He remembered Su Mei saying that if she had no relationship with him, why would she risk her life to save him? After all, the people chasing her were highly skilled Feng family guards. How could a frail little girl be a match for them? So Feng Sijin believed it!
He then stayed at the Su family home to recuperate and get along well with the Su family. The Su family was very kind, and the atmosphere at home was exceptionally pleasant. When Feng Sijin saw the harmonious atmosphere of the Su family, he felt a deep sense of envy, but he did not express it.
As he spent more time with Su Mei, he grew to like her more and more. However, the Feng family could not allow her to stay in the Su family and continue to be Su Mei's husband! So Feng Sijin was taken home by her father. But when she returned home, Feng Sijin had not yet regained her memory, so whenever she had time, she would go to the Su family to find Su Mei and maintain her relationship with her.
But his memories would eventually return. Because of his amnesia, the rest of the Feng family targeted him. But when the Valley Master of the Divine Doctor Valley came to the capital and examined and treated him, his memories slowly returned.
But at that time he was very fond of Su Mei and couldn't live without her, so he didn't reveal that his memory had been restored. As usual, whenever he had time, he would go to see Su Mei, keeping her heart firmly tied to him, never letting go even if it meant death.
Rong Sheng looked at Feng Sijin in surprise: "Father, you don't seem like an insecure person at all! Why are you so insecure in front of Mother?"
Feng Sijin smiled bitterly: "That's because your father doesn't know if your mother truly loves him! Every time I'm with your mother, I feel something is strange, but I can't quite put my finger on what's strange about it. At the time, I just told myself that I hadn't regained my memories, so the strangeness occurred when I was with your mother! But after I regained my memories, I knew why it was strange!"
That's why Dad became increasingly insecure, always worried that your mother hadn't fallen in love with me and might leave me at any moment! After regaining my memories, I had to return to the family, work for the family, and reclaim everything I had lost, which is why I haven't been able to see your mother for a long time!
Looking back on the moments he shared with Su Mei, even though they weren't particularly in love at the time, Su Mei seemed like a clueless child who often drove him crazy.
But now that I think about it, I feel a sweet warmth in my heart, filled with happiness.
"That mother's illness..."
"At that time, I didn't know your mother had such a strange illness, I didn't even notice! I knew that back then, because I was back in the Feng family to consolidate my position, I had no time to see your mother, and your mother didn't come to see me either! It wasn't until half a month later that I finally had time to go see your mother! As a result, your mother turned around and left when she saw me, which made me so angry that I really... gave your mother a good beating! But at that time, I didn't know that your mother was just conducting an experiment to see how long it would take for the illness to flare up after leaving me. My appearance disrupted your mother's experiment!"
Half a month is fifteen days!
Rong Sheng suddenly understood something. From that time on, whenever her father and mother were separated for fifteen days, her mother's illness would flare up.
“After that time, I made time to see your mother every day!” Feng Sijin cherished every moment he spent with Su Mei during that period. Even though their social statuses were mismatched, he never thought Su Mei was inadequate!
