Chapter 381
Sun Ru's death became the talk of the day in Canxin City, and the past of this domineering young lady was soon dug up. Even those who had originally sympathized with her sneered at her after hearing what she had done.
When the Great Sun Mansion, that is, Sun Li, heard the news, he stood there in shock, as if the sky had fallen.
He didn't love his wife, and he was almost unmoved when she died, but Sun Ru was different.
Only his family knew his own secret, and what Sun Ru meant to him would always be unknown to those outsiders who laughed at him.
As for his multiple concubines, people in the city always had many speculations, but apart from those common reasons, there was another reason that only he knew -
These concubines all had children, and most of them gave birth soon after getting married. They were obviously healthy people who were good at fertility.
He wanted to marry these people just to try his luck and see if they could give him another child.
The reason for this is that his daughter Sun Ru is becoming more and more erratic and cruel, and even he, as a father, feels that the Sun family may not be able to rely on her in the future.
So even though he loves her dearly, if he could have other children, he would definitely focus on them instead of just hanging himself on Sun Ru.
But after so many years, no matter how many concubines he had and how many alchemy masters he had consulted, he was unable to make them pregnant again, so it was clear that there was little hope.
Because of this, Sun Ru became his only hope.
So when his daughter's house was burned down and her life tablet was shattered, Sun Li went crazy.
He announced to the public that the murderer was suspected to be the male concubine in his daughter's house. He offered a large reward for the whereabouts of these people. As long as there was a living male concubine outside, he must be the murderer without a doubt!
Because he felt that the person who burned down the Sun Mansion must be an insider, and he had also heard about his daughter torturing and killing her male favorite, so it must have been them who did it!
Just half a day after Sun Li made his statement, many rumors suddenly appeared in the city -
"Have you heard that Sun Ru is not Sun Li's biological daughter at all? She is the result of an adultery between her mother and a weapon master named Yu!"
“Is this true or false?”
"Of course it's true. Sun Li is actually a useless person. He is no match for him! The concubines in his family are just for show."
"hiss……"
"Do you know why Sun Ru died and why everything in her house was burned down?"
"I heard that the Sun family has a treasure. A male lover sneaked into Sun Ru's life just to get the treasure. Who knew that he couldn't find it even after searching everywhere."
"Ah? Even if the treasure really exists, it won't be on Sun Ru. It must be with Sun Li."
"That's right. Most likely, the male favorite is just trying his luck. After all, isn't it said that Sun Li loves Sun Ru very much? He even gave her his only earth-level defense magic weapon. Maybe he gave her the treasure as well."
"That makes sense. Sun Ru has always spent money like water, so it makes sense to say that she has a treasure. But she actually has an earth-level magic weapon? That's really a big deal!"
"Who says it's not? But I'm really curious. I don't know what the treasure is..."
"Sun Li married so many concubines, and even raised their children. How much does it cost to have so many people every year? I don't think the treasure story is groundless."
"Yes, now Sun Ru has lost her life because of the treasure. Do you think Sun Li will also..."
"Hush, wait and see."
For half a day, everyone's discussion about Sun Ru was all about whether Sun Li was capable and whether Sun Li held the treasure.
The power of following the crowd should never be underestimated. Sun Li and Sun Ru acted in a high-profile manner and had already attracted a lot of attention. The rumor about the treasure seemed outrageous at first, but as it was talked about more and more, more and more people believed it.
When the news reached Sun Li's ears, it was like a basin of ice water poured on his head!
What treasure, what is possible or not, these words are no longer important at this moment, because his mind is filled with the only sentence "Sun Ru is the result of adultery between her mother and a weapon maker named Yu"!
The weapon master named Yu!
He knew this person, not only knew him, but was very familiar with him.
Soon after Sun Ru married him, she said she wanted to learn how to refine weapons. Coincidentally, she had a cousin who was a weapon master and was very capable.
This was just a small matter for Sun Li, so there was no reason for him to refuse.
He also met the weapon maker named Yu, and found him to be gentle and polite, and very considerate and enthusiastic towards him and his wife, so he accepted the marriage.
His wife often learned weapon refining from Master Yu, and the two of them got along closely but with propriety, so he had never had any doubts over the years.
Now, he suddenly heard that his daughter was Master Yu's child. He tried his best to deny it in his heart, but on the other hand, he couldn't help comparing the appearances of the two.
Some things are like this. You don’t doubt them when you don’t think about them, but once you think about them, you can’t stop them at all.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her daughter looked a lot like Master Yu. Their eyebrows and eyes were very similar, but in terms of face shape and mouth, Sun Ru looked like her mother!
In fact, I have had this thought, but my wife said that Cousin Yu is her aunt's only son, and they are blood relatives, so it seems reasonable that they look a bit similar.
After thinking about it, Sun Li was no longer calm!
He immediately found the man surnamed Yu, and he found him just in time. The man surnamed Yu was actually looking for a buyer and was planning to sell the house. He was about to run away!
When Master Yu Qi saw Sun Li’s men coming over, he was so scared that he wet his pants!
After further questioning, the truth came to light.
It turned out that Sun Li's wife and Master Yu had known each other since childhood, but they grew apart after growing up and gradually became estranged.
Later, she married Sun Li, but she could not enjoy her marriage because Sun Li had a hidden illness. Later, she met Master Yu Qi again, and their old love was rekindled.
Later, Sun Li took in a bunch of concubines and rarely came to the main courtyard. His wife simply let herself go and kept in touch with Master Yu, and gave birth to a daughter.
After learning the truth, Sun Li was almost mad!
He has been so devoted to Sun Ru over the years. Why? Not because Sun Ru is filial or talented, but simply because she is his blood!
For many years, he knew that he would never have descendants, and he felt even more pain for Sun Ru. He gave her crystals like flowing water, and even covered up for her when she found male lovers and did many evil things. He also dealt with all potential enemies.
If not for this, how could Sun Ru be alive and well until now?
Fearing that she might get into an accident, he even spent a huge amount of money to buy her an earth-level defensive magic weapon at an auction. That was a treasure that even he didn't have!
As a result, the eye that I had raised for so many years turned out to be a bastard!
