Chapter 492: Chapter 494 Mother and Son Recognition (4)
No matter what, they couldn’t let things escalate any further…
In the Alchemy Tower, Mu Ruyue once again glanced at the letter in her hand, and like a treasure, she placed it into her bosom. Her breathtakingly beautiful face broke into a slight, lifted smile, making her appear even more stunning.
But at that moment, a furious voice came from within the Alchemy Tower, the roar was earth-shattering: “Who is the descendant of Xiao Yun, come out and meet your death!”
Mu Ruyue raised an eyebrow, pushed open the door, and walked out. At the same time, Xiao Feng and Yao Yunqing also emerged from their rooms.
Seeing that they came from the same room, a hint of amusement flashed across Mu Ruyue’s eyes.
“Yue’er, what are you looking at?” Yao Yunqing’s pretty face turned red as she glared at Mu Ruyue reproachfully, feeling embarrassed by such scrutiny.
“Oh, nothing much. I was just thinking how quickly you both have accepted this reality and moved in together.”
Perhaps because she knew her son had escaped Zi Feng’s control, Mu Ruyue was in a great mood and rarely teased the two of them.
Xiao Feng’s expression was as cold and detached as ever, without a ripple in his eyes—except when he looked at Mu Ruyue, there would be a trace of gentle indulgence.
Yao Yunqing’s exquisite face grew even more flushed as she glared again at the smiling Mu Ruyue: “What are you thinking? I was just discussing matters with Feng.”
“You’ve even started calling him Feng. Could I possibly be mistaken? Big brother, I think that after we resolve the matters here, we should return to the Saint Realm and handle your wedding.”
Yao Yunqing’s face turned so red it could bleed, yet she stole a glance at Xiao Feng with her eyes.
She had been betrayed once before and had stopped believing in love since then, unwilling to love another person, but she could never forget the time when she was in danger, and this man risked his life to save her.
Perhaps it was from that moment on that her heart had been moved.
So, when the man was under the influence of a drug, she didn’t reject him…
Xiao Feng coldly glanced at Yao Yunqing: “We can first let her meet her parents, but, the matter of marriage still requires consent from the Yao Family.”
Upon hearing the words ‘Yao Family,’ Yao Yunqing’s face darkened slightly, and after a long while, she let out a helpless sigh: “Actually, the situation at the Yao Family is quite complex. My father is too weak, and my mother listens to everything he says, so even though Grandpa has been wanting to leave the Yao Family under his management, he feared that he wouldn’t be able to hold down those old fellows. With Grandpa’s health getting worse and the wounds from his past flaring up again, perhaps he doesn’t have many years left. That’s why he hurriedly transferred his authority to me.”
Mu Ruyue’s eyebrows lifted: “What about your second uncle?”
Yao Yunqing bit her lip tightly and said with a bitter smile: “My second uncle has great ambitions and is ruthless. Grandpa has never liked him much, which is why he didn’t pass on the power to him. But my second uncle has a wide network; even though I’ve been designated as the next Family Head, in the Yao Family, the only person I can trust is Elder Zhang. Almost everyone else has been bought by my second uncle. Some who are loyal to Grandpa don’t voice their decisions, but it’s clear they are dissatisfied with Grandpa handing the power to me, after all, I am but a woman…”
A woman is always to be married off, and after marriage, won’t all her family’s wealth become her husband’s? Even in Huaxia, many people hold this view.
In families with several children, the first consideration goes to the sons, followed by the daughters. Furthermore, some believe that giving too much wealth to a daughter is like giving it away to someone else?
