Upon hearing the name Su Yu, Feng Zhen felt a bit uneasy, even though he was six years older than him and Su Yu’s brother-in-law.
Su Yu was a peculiar person. Ever since a few years ago, he seemed to have undergone a transformation, acting entirely based on his mood. When he was happy, he treated you like a brother; when he was upset, he could suppress you to the point of despair.
When he went to seek Su Xuan Xuan’s hand in marriage, Su Yu was only twelve years old. At that time, Su Yu looked at him coldly and said, “This is your last chance, take care of yourself,” before turning away to find Su Xuan Xuan.
Feng Zhen slumped into a chair, looking at the head of the Feng family beside him, “Dad…”
“Calling me won’t help. You know the rules of the Su family, and I’ve warned you. I told you not to let your mother continue her reckless behavior. You tried to persuade her about the jewelry, but now it’s your own doing. Decide for yourself what happens next—whether to stay together or whatever. I won’t interfere.” The head of the Feng family, having married into the Feng family without much affection, was very disdainful of his wife’s actions. Seeing his son in this state, he felt disappointed.
“Feng Zhen, don’t forget how you married Su Xuan in the first place. She had plenty of suitors. When our family was in crisis, who sacrificed everything to help you by bringing out the dowry? Feng Zhen, don’t be too selfish, and don’t disgust people too much.” After saying this, the head of the Feng family stood up and left.
No matter how much he said, it was up to Feng Zhen to figure things out.
“Dad…”
The head of the Feng family glanced at Feng Zhen, “Ask your mother about the first child you and Su Xuan lost. After that, you’ll know what to do.”
Feng Zhen felt a chill all over his body, looking at the head of the Feng family with a trembling voice, “Dad, what do you mean by this?”
The first child—that was his son.
“Ask your mother about it yourself. After you’ve asked, you should understand. It’s not that Su Jiu speaks harshly, but honestly, your current state makes me feel ashamed.” The head of the Feng family didn’t want to say more to Feng Zhen and left directly, his voice still shaking.
Feng Zhen didn’t immediately go to find his mother; instead, he went to find Su Xuan Xuan. When he arrived, Su Xuan Xuan had already packed up the belongings of herself and her daughter.
He hurriedly walked over, “Xuan Xuan…”
“Xuan Xuan, let’s go.” Su Jiu walked to Su Xuan’s side, lifted up his six-year-old neice, Feng Qinling, and held the luggage Su Xuan had packed. They left directly, mother and daughter together.
Seeing that Su Jiu didn’t want him to talk to Su Xuan Xuan, Feng Zhen quickly reached out and held Su Xuan Xuan’s hand, “Xuan Xuan, when you’re done playing, I’ll come to pick you up.”
“No need. My brother should have explained everything to you. Take these three months to think it over. I’ll leave first.” Su Xuan Xuan pulled down Feng Zhen’s hand. She didn’t want to force him to make a decision, but after so many years, it was really tiring.
Feng Zhen’s body trembled slightly, panic in his eyes. He never thought Su Xuan would say such things. Now he realized how naive he had been.
“I won’t divorce, and I won’t take concubines,” he declared. His affection had always been for Su Xuan Xuan, and he didn’t want a day to come where they became strangers.
To this, Su Xuan Xuan just smiled without saying anything. It was Su Jiu who looked at Feng Zhen and said, “Feng Zhen, if you don’t want a divorce, then show your sincerity. Xuan Xuan, let’s go.”
“Uncle, where are we going?” Feng Qinling, leaning against Su Jiu, asked.
“We’re going to find your little uncle.”
“Okay.”
Su Xuan Xuan and her daughter followed Su Jiu, leaving Feng Zhen in frustration. He knew that the recent events were his own mishandling, and he couldn’t blame Su Xuan Xuan for treating him this way.
Madam Feng was overjoyed when she learned that Su Xuan Xuan and Su Jiu had left. She immediately brought her niece from her maternal family, hoping that she could spend more time with Feng Zhen and eventually become a bride.
When Madam Feng came to find Feng Zhen, he happened to have something to discuss with her.
“Mother, you’re here at the right time. I have something to ask you,” Feng Zhen said, looking at Madam Feng with a cold tone.
Madam Feng noticed Feng Zhen’s cold attitude towards her as soon as she saw him.
“What’s wrong with my son? I brought your cousin here, so take her out later,” Madam Feng said nonchalantly.
Feng Zhen looked at her, “How did we lose our first child with Xuan Xuan?”
Madam Feng, who was talking to herself, suddenly heard Feng Zhen’s words. Her expression changed slightly, and she couldn’t bring herself to look into Feng Zhen’s eyes.
“How… how else could it have happened? It’s… it’s her own carelessness, isn’t it? Is she spreading nonsense in front of you again?”Madam Feng angrily retorted.
This Su Xuan Xuan was indeed a home-wrecker. She shouldn’t have agreed to let her son marry that woman in the first place.
“It’s not Xuan Xuan; my dad asked me to come and ask you. He said that if I come to you about certain things, I’ll understand what happened. Mother, tell me what really happened.” Feng Zhen didn’t believe that his dad would say these things without reason.
When Madam Feng heard that it was the head of the Feng family who mentioned it, her face changed slightly. She forced a smile and said, “Your dad is just talking nonsense. You…”
“My dad never lies. But when have you ever told the truth? Over these years, you’ve been using Xuan Xuan’s dowry while still belittling her. I don’t want to inquire about the child’s matter now; after all, so many years have passed.” Feng Zhen looked at Madam Feng and spoke directly.
Hearing this, Madam Feng breathed a sigh of relief. However, before she could be happy for long, Feng Zhen continued, “This is the last time, Mother. If you continue to cause trouble for Xuan Xuan in the future, I won’t let it go easily. Also, I won’t marry the person you suggested. In this life, I’ll only have Xuan Xuan as my wife.”
“Of course, you can plot against me, but afterward, I might just die in front of you.” Feng Zhen looked at Madam Feng calmly and spoke seriously.
Madam Feng was infuriated, her heart aching. She trembled, pointing at Feng Zhen, “Is it just for that woman that you want to drive me to death?”
“Think whatever you want. If you think I want to drive you to death, then that’s what I want. I only regret not doing it sooner. After Xuan Xuan and Ling’er come back, I’ll move out with them. After all, I have an elder brother, and I don’t need to inherit the family property.” With that, he left, not giving Madam Feng a chance to speak.
Madam Feng was completely dumbfounded, tremblingly pointing at Feng Zhen’s departing figure, “Feng Zhen, you unfilial child, come back to me.”
When Feng Zhen mentioned his elder brother, he was referring to the person loved by the head of the Feng family, and the woman mentioned was his legal wife.
Now, Feng Zhen was actually saying that he wanted to give up his inheritance rights, all for that vile woman, Su Xuan Xuan.
After leaving, Feng Zhen went to find the head of the Feng family. “Dad, I want to split from the family.”
The head of the Feng family looked at Feng Zhen in surprise, never expecting him to make such a decision. “Split from the family? Have you thought it through?”
