Wen Yu had been beautiful from a young age, a gentle and refined little girl who grew up with Duan Qianyang. They were childhood sweethearts, and since everyone knew Wen Yu wasn’t truly a mber of the Wen Family, the young boy and girl inevitably fell for each other.
The Wen Family happily approved, but it was different with the Duan Family. Old Master Duan disapproved.
At that ti, Duan Qianyang was exceptional, often praised by other parents as the ideal child with a limitless future. Old Master Duan hoped he would marry soone of equal status and didn’t think highly of the adopted Wen Yu.
Coincidentally, during the rustication movent, Old Master Duan used so underhanded thods while Duan Qianyang was away and forcibly sent Wen Yu, who didn’t need to go, to the countryside.
It was a very particular ti; regulations were strict. When Duan Qianyang returned from his business trips, he searched for her desperately but to no avail, which eventually led to his deteriorating health...
Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi learned about the events that followed.
Emotional events, no matter how heart-wrenching in the eyes of those involved, are often just a few short sentences to outsiders.
Jiaojiao had never t Wen Yu, but she thought that Duan Qianyang was so outstanding, and a woman he adored must have been extraordinary too.
Such an outstanding woman was delayed due to her status and had to marry Xiu Jianlin—what a pity it was.
Probably, Wen Yu married Xiu Jianlin back then to give Xiu Xi a legitimate status. After all, she was in the countryside, and pregnant, in such a societal context, being discovered could have led to her being forced to death.
This likely explains why Xiu Jianlin treated Xiu Cheng so well and let Liu i tornt Xiu Xi at the ti. He probably knew Wen Yu was pregnant when she married him.
However it was back then, it doesn’t hold any aning now to discuss.
Jiaojiao turned to Xiu Xi and said, "Brother Xi, every Qingming Festival from now on, let’s also visit Aunt Wen’s grave."
She was indeed a pitiful woman, and in so sense, she gave Silly Wolf a second chance at life.
Xiu Xi nodded indifferently; as long as it was sothing she wanted to do, he would never refuse.
The four of them talked for a while longer downstairs. After watching TV, the Ruanlin Family returned from next door.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiaojiao went upstairs with Xiu Xi to wash up and prepare for bed. But when she went to her room to get clothes, she heard Shu Lang seemingly talking on the phone in a low voice from the living room downstairs, with so familiar words catching her attention: Feng Family? Deceased?
What does it an?
Jiaojiao leaned over the railing in the corridor to look down. She knew it wasn’t good to eavesdrop, but whenever she heard anything about the Feng Family, she couldn’t help but feel anxious, sensing it might be the sa Feng Family she knew.
"Yes, Dad shouldn’t go. Let Uncle Liang handle it, um, I understand."
Shu Lang said a couple more sentences before hanging up the phone.
Next to him, Qin Qiong sighed as he saw Shu Lang hang up, "The Duan Family has been going downhill these past years. I’ve heard that Second Master Duan’s condition has worsened so much that he doesn’t leave his house. Only Duan Qianyang manages to hold up the family front. No wonder Old Man Duan was so desperate back then and looked down on Wen Yu. Your Xiaoxi is a good prospect; the old man might co after him in the future. You’d better be prepared."
