What Zurich didn't know was that when Si Tianyu married Nangong Chen, she also had a son, Si Lingyun, who was only half a year younger than Si Lingfeng. When he first married into the Si family, Si Tianyu was already sweet-talking him while secretly having affairs with other men outside.

In the second month after Zurich's death, Nangong Chen was promoted from a common husband to a legal husband, and his son Si Lingyun became the legitimate son of the Si family.

Seeing Si Chengfeng telling his life story in great pain, Hua Qingcheng felt distressed and quickly changed the subject.

"Then what's the story between you and Feng Qiyan's family? How did you become the adopted son of the General's Mansion?"

Si Chengfeng, who was originally immersed in sorrow, finally shed his decadence at this moment. Upon hearing this, he smiled slightly and said:

"Ever since my father's death, that treacherous Nangong Chen has been treating me well on the surface, but in reality, he's always been secretly torturing me. Especially when I was sick, he would freeze my clothes and bedding, and even have the servants feed me cold food, which made me even more miserable.

Finally, when I was eight years old, Nangong Chen had completely given up on me. He found an excuse to go out and burn incense and pray for the Si family, and took me away. He also secretly colluded with bandits to kidnap me, hoping to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Unexpectedly, I was lucky enough to meet General Feng Cailan, who had just returned from a victorious battle. She rescued me from assassins disguised as bandits and brought me back to the general's mansion. Her husband, Yu Jingyang, had been married to her for several years but had no children. Seeing my exceptional intelligence, sensibility, and good behavior, he adopted me as his adopted son. It was then that I changed my name to Chengfeng.

The general and her husband have treated me like their own daughter for all these years, and even after Feng Qiyan was born, they still treated me very well. When I first arrived at the general's mansion, they hired a teacher to teach me how to read and write. Seeing that I was weak, they also sought out famous doctors to treat my illnesses. Unfortunately, no medicine was effective, and I still had cold attacks every month.

When I was twelve, they saw that I had a talent for business and entrusted me with managing part of the family business. I lived up to their expectations and in just five years, I had expanded the business territory under my name throughout the Laifeng Kingdom.

Seeing Si Chengfeng's improved mood, Hua Qingcheng immediately changed the subject:

"So, the great general and his wife have indeed been incredibly kind to you. What about Feng Lingyan? What's her relationship with your adoptive mother, the great general?"

“He…”

Si Chengfeng's pair of charming fox eyes narrowed slightly, tinged with a hint of melancholy.

"Feng Lingyan was my adoptive mother's elder brother, the eldest son of the old general Feng Jingyun. He's dead! He died several years before my father..."

"Forget it, forget it, don't talk about those unpleasant things anymore!"

Afraid of bringing up this man's sad past again, Hua Qingcheng directly blocked his mouth with her lips...
