"Your mother is a bit stubborn; once she sets her mind on something, she'll do it! Because of the disparity in their social status, I secretly helped Su Mei manage the Su family better so that your mother wouldn't be looked down upon by the Feng family, and to help her earn more money and escape the gap between rich and poor! You have two uncles; your eldest uncle has joined the army and has made some achievements there. He might meet your second brother, Rong Zheng, soon!"

This is enough for the Su family, but far from enough for the Feng family! Your uncle is an official in the court, currently the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review! Matters concerning Gu Beiyi will have to go through your uncle, but don't worry, your uncle is Gu Beiyi's man!

Rong Sheng: "..." Uncle, Uncle!

I'll go see them when I have time!

If the uncles like their mother very much, they will be happy to see her.

"Your mother was very clever. With my help, she quickly accumulated her own wealth. Your eldest and youngest uncles worked very hard, gradually elevating the Su family from ordinary people to the ranks of the powerful and wealthy! However, at that time, your father was vying for the position of head of the Feng family, which made many people in the Feng family dislike him! Unable to deal with your father, they targeted your mother! It was because of their actions that they kidnapped and hid your mother!"

Your father went to great lengths to finally find your mother. She didn't suffer much, but fifteen days had passed by the time I found her! When I saw her unconscious in the cave, my heart broke. At the time, I didn't know that she had fainted because of a relapse of her illness; I just assumed she had been abused!

It was around that time that Father sent many people to protect your mother and everyone in the Su family! Under Father's protection, we were safe for a while! But if Father wanted to become the head of the Feng family, he had to pass the Feng family's test, so I left the capital and traveled to Langya Kingdom, Baiqi Kingdom, and now the soon-to-be-destroyed Qinghao Kingdom. But when I left, your mother wanted to come with me. I refused at the time because I had too many enemies, and taking your mother with me would not keep her safe, but would only bring her danger!

Your mother didn't say anything more when she saw I disagreed, only saying that if I didn't return in fifteen days, she should come looking for me! At the time, I just thought your mother had fallen in love with me and couldn't live without me! So I agreed and told her to have my trusted guards protect her when she went to find me! But actually, I instructed my trusted guards not to bring your mother to find me!

At this point, Feng Sijin's brows furrowed, her face, weathered by time, filled with guilt and sorrow.

"The fifteen-day agreement is about to expire, Father. You haven't gone back, and Mother was worried that something might happen, so she went to find you!" Rong Sheng said softly, "Completely disregarding the objections of your trusted guards, Father, she insisted on going to find you?"

Feng Sijin nodded: "That's right, your mother came to find me despite all the obstacles! At the time, I was in Baiqi Kingdom. It takes seven or eight days to travel from Qingluan Kingdom to Baiqi Kingdom, and your mother and I had been separated for ten days. So your mother went to find me regardless of everything! My trusted guards had no choice but to go with her. They took your mother and, through communication with the other guards, brought her to Baiqi Kingdom to find me!"

“It takes seven or eight days to travel from Qingluan Kingdom to Baiqi Kingdom. Even with the help of trusted guards, Mother couldn’t possibly arrive at Father’s side at the exact time. Father, do you know about Mother’s illness?” Rong Sheng asked.

Feng Sijin said, "That's right. It was around this time that Father discovered your mother's illness—that she couldn't be away from me for more than fifteen days or she would die! Because when your mother found me, fifteen days had already passed. It was my trusted bodyguard who brought the unconscious Mei'er to my side. The bodyguard told me that Mei'er's illness had progressed rapidly, giving him no time to react. But before she fell unconscious, your mother told the bodyguard to take her to me! She had to find me! Only by finding me would she be alright!"

The trusted guard, helpless, also sought medical help, but none of them could cure Mei'er, as none of them could diagnose any illness. So he hurriedly sent Mei'er to my side. Before I could even drink a cup of tea after she arrived, your mother woke up, showing no signs of weakness!

Rong Sheng: "..." This illness is really too intriguing. How could a normal person get this kind of disease for no reason? It's not a novel plot!

Unfortunately, her mother is gone, so she has no way to treat her. Otherwise, she might have been able to cure her mother's illness through modern medicine!

"After my trusted bodyguard told me everything, I finally understood why Mei'er was so eager to find me, disregarding the dangers lurking in the shadows! It turns out she truly couldn't live without me. I was overjoyed that Mei'er couldn't live without me, meaning she could only stay by my side and couldn't go anywhere else! We could be together for all eternity! At the same time, I was also worried that Mei'er's illness might bring her other unpredictable ailments. What if someone with ulterior motives found out and used Mei'er's illness to blackmail me, destroying the person I cared about most!"

Feng Sijin sighed softly, looking at Rong Sheng with listless eyes: "Sheng Bao, can you understand how your father felt back then?"

Rong Sheng nodded: "Father, I completely understand! Because you love Mother so much and don't want to lose her! But Father, when you regained your memories, you didn't tell Mother, but you learned about her secret. So, Mother..."

“Your mother…” Feng Sijin fell into memories again, and slowly said, “I didn’t make things clear at the time because I was afraid. I wasn’t sure if your mother came to me because of her illness or because of love! So… I very despicably transformed into a big liar and coaxed your mother. Your mother probably felt guilty, so she didn’t make things clear either! And so, I took Mei’er and traveled in Baiqi Kingdom and Qinghao Kingdom!”

Rong Sheng: "Father, I really don't understand. You have power and everything you want, so why are you so insecure?"

"That's all your mother's fault, she didn't fall in love with me!" Feng Sijin said angrily.

"Alright!" But you can't blame Mother. Mother was just trying to survive, but that doesn't mean she had no feelings for Father at all. Rong Sheng didn't know what Mother looked like, but Feng Sijin was indeed outstanding and dashing. A man like that would definitely become the focus of all women when he went out, and would be the target of all women's desire to marry.

Gu Beiyi is incredibly handsome, but his father is in no way inferior! His father must have attracted many women when he was young. Rong Sheng doesn't believe for a second that his mother wasn't tempted; perhaps she was tempted without realizing it!

"And then what happened? What happened next?" Rong Sheng was particularly curious.

Seeing the gossip gleam in Rong Sheng's eyes, Feng Sijin shook her head helplessly: "Your mother has this strange illness? Of course I'll try to find a way to treat her!"

"Are you willing to let go?" Aren't you afraid your mother will leave?
