Chapter 17.1: The Mystery Behind Their Birth
The woman had obviously not expected things to take such a turn and she turned woodenly to look at Yan Su’s face. As expected, she saw an unfriendly expression, his face dark.
She immediately fell from her chair in fright. “Your Highness, your lady did not mean it. I beg for Your Highness’ forgiveness.”
On her knees, she scampered to go over to Yan Su’s side, pushing her ample bosom against his thigh, looking highly seductive.
But Yan Su had lost all his mood as he pushed her away from him. “To think that this Duke had been with such a foolish woman for so many years. How nauseating!”
“Your Highness…..” The woman’s face turned pale, realizing that she had committed a grave wrong. Her body trembling as she sobbed in plea, she heard Yan Su say impatiently: “Bring her away from here. This Duke does not want to see her at this moment.”
It was as if a bolt had struck down from clear skies, and she whom had been exceptionally favoured was suddenly condemned into Hell just because of a statement she made.
With Yan Su saying that he did not want to see her anymore, then she would have no chance of rising up again.
“Don’t do this….. Your Highness….. Your lady has realized her mistake and I beg for Your Highness to give me another chance….. Your Highness….. Your Highness…..”
Having promised to protect her children, but he had never cared about them before, to the extent that he never knew what they looked like at all.
It was his jealousy that had blinded both his eyes, that made his heart turn cold and hard as steel!
Yan Su was immediately feeling rather exhausted and he stood up from his seat. With saying a single word, he then walked slowly out.
The remaining people all fell deep in thought, everyone making their own guesses in their minds.
Chapter 17.2: The Mystery Behind Their Birth
Yan Ning Luo was also not in the mood to eat together with these women and she pulled her chair back to stand up as the chair made a ear piercing screech. “Big Brother, come outside with me for a moment.”
The sibling pair then walked out one behind the other.
Under a quiet pavilion within the Duke’s Manor, Yan Ning Luo’s face was cold as she said insipidly: “Why are you speaking up for those people from the Tranquil Abode?”
Yan Xi Cheng creased up his brows. “What about it?”
“What about it?” Yan Ning Luo’s lips stiffened as she turned her eyes back to look at him. “Don’t you know that the reason Mother has shut herself in for so many years is all because of that woman from the Tranquil Abode? Mother has already been so benevolent to allow that woman’s seeds to remain and Big Brother is now even pleading on their behalf?”
Yan Xi Cheng looked at person who had always been exceptionally beautiful suddenly showing such a cold and malicious looking face and his heart sank with a chill.
All this, must have been thoughts that Mother had inculcated into Little Ning from young!
Is it really that difficult to tolerate those two siblings?
Afterall, that woman had already died so many years ago and had been laid to rest. Is there any meaning in continuing to hold it against the children?
He was suddenly very disappointed in his mother.
“Little Ning, you don’t understand.” Yan Xi Cheng shook his head. “The pain that that woman brought upon Mother, has already been repaid back in folds by her two children.”
“A mother’s debts must be paid back by her children. It is still not enough by far. She was the one who torn our family apart!” Yan Ning Luo said in a shrill voice.
“You’re so naive. Then how are you going to explain the existence of that bunch of other women in the back manor? All of this was caused by Father!” Yan Xi Cheng suddenly did not feel like continuing to talk with this obstinate little sister of his. His emotions were rather unstable today and he should instead be calming his heart down to go practice his cultivation!
Yan Su did not go back to his room. His steps had unknowingly brought him to the Tranquil Abode he had come so many countless times before.
He still remembered that she loved the swing. Everytime he came over, he would see her sitting upon the swing and caressing her abdomen, speaking gently to the child in her tummy, the scene beautiful and touching.
Ten years have passed, and everything here has changed.
There was no long that swing he was familiar with, but just a stretch of quiet overgrowth. On both sides of the yard, many vibrant and beautiful plants had been planted, the surroundings filled with vegetation and shrubbery, the place looking just like a piece of the old woods deep in the mountains.
Just as Yan Su was deeply entranced by the surroundings, the tightly shut doors suddenly opened with a creak.
A tall and slender figure came walking out from inside.
Her head of long hair like a waterfall was lightly bound up, the simple white dress worn on that person exuding an indescribable sense of pure enchanting beauty, where just the back view already made one’s heart race and the mind captivated.
She carried a wooden bucket in her hand, sprinkling the green liquid inside onto the plants, shining with lustrous brilliance, beautiful beyond compare.
Yan Su was spellbound at that moment as a twig snapped under his feet.
“Hmm?” The person heard the noise and she turned her body around to look in puzzlement.
Yan Su’s eyes flared wide as he stared.
Those mesmerizing eyes were overflowing with brilliant light, the elegant nose outstanding and sharp, the corners of her faintly pink lips slightly lifted, forming an incredibly irresistible arc. Her skin was fair as could be, especially under the sun’s ray it seemed almost translucent in its smoothness, her face’s beauty completely flawless.
The two people looked at each other over that distance between them for a moment. Thereafter, that person’s eyes then blinked, and the arc at the ends of her lips deepened further, to reveal a faint smile.
Qing Fei…..
No, it’s impossible.
How could two people possibly look so much alike?
Even the arc at the corners of their lips she showed when they first met was almost exactly alike!
Yan Su was shocked to the core, and he did not have the courage to remain there a moment longer, immediately taking quick steps to depart from that place.
“Haha, interesting…..”
