Chapter 514 – Rembrance of the Past; Startling Truth (4)
Having heard that, Cheng Biyuan said solemnly, “Which ans to say that the First Elder wasn’t my great granduncle. He wasn’t even a Cheng’s, but just soone that my great grandfather had brought ho.”
“Exactly. But not very many knew about that by now.”
Elder nodded and carried on, “I recalled that both your grandfather and First Elder were top choices for the next Housemaster back then. Most of the mbers in the families supported your grandfather, but there were also a few of the elders, who had issues with your grandfather in the past, supported to have First Elder as the next Housemaster. To everyone’s surprise, your great grandfather nad your grandfather as the successor.
“Nonetheless, First Elder beca an elder of the family when he had broken through to martial king. It didn’t seem like he had any particular issues toward your grandfather at the ti, but ten or so years after your grandfather had beca the Housemaster and during his breakthrough from apex martial king to martial monarch sothing went wrong and he died within the next few days.”
“Wait a minute...” Cheng Xiao Xiao interrupted him all of a sudden and said, “Elder, you ntioned that the great grandfather of the Cheng’s was a martial emperor. That ans he should still be alive!”
“That would normally be the case. He shouldn’t have but, the truth w”as, he did!”
“Oh!”
Suddenly, Cheng Biyuan lost control of himself and shouted out, his eyes widened, “I rember it now. I have heard of this before. Great Grandfather was breaking through to martial emperor and tried to breakthrough to martial monarch but died in an accident. We didn’t know how he did so we assud that he had run into trouble during the breakthrough and that had killed him.”
“Similar. That’s so similar. Your great grandfather and your father. Both of them died while trying to breakthrough. How would both of them run into troubles at the exact sa ti? Perhaps...”
The Elder mumbled to himself after he had paused for a bit from being stunned.
Having heard that, all the others also changed colors. Did that an the Capital City Cheng’s had brought ho a white-eyed wolf?
Mo Yuze chid in again, “There was soone else in my scapulimancyp1 . A woman.”
Having said that, he had an odd look on him. Especially the way he was looking at Cheng Biyuan, as though he was struggling whether to go on.
“A woman?”
Cheng Biyuan paused for a bit and, seeing the look on Mo Yuze, seed to have recalled sothing. He stood up, emotional, and asked anxiously, “In-Law, do go on. Did you see my mother? Did my mother’s incident have sothing to do with First Elder?”
Everything seed to tie back to First Elder and Cheng Biyuan’s first thought was the incident that he witnessed when his mother was violated in front of him must have sothing to do with First Elder also!
“She’s still alive,” said Mu ZhenYu softly as he nodded.
“What? Still... still alive....” Cheng Biyuan was shocked beyond words. He said in disbelief, “She’s... she’s still alive? My... my mother... is still alive...”
Other than Cheng Biyuan, the only other person who was aware of the incident was Elder. Even Elder had an incredulous look on him and he asked, “You are saying that Aunty Fang is still alive?”
Cheng Biyuan’s mother, Fang Shuyun.
“Yes, she still has life left in her. She’s not dead,” said Mo Yuze in a low voice.
“Wonderful. That’s wonderful. My mother is alive! My mother is still alive!”
Cheng Biyuan, who was experiencing both great sorrow and great joy at the sa ti, didn’t care that he was around others and tears started streaming down his face. Not caring for his appearance, he put his arms around Mrs. Cheng, who was just about to say sothing to comfort him, and said, “Yiqin. My mother is still alive. My mother is still alive. This is too wonderful. My mother is still alive...”
“Husband, Mother-In-Law was plotted against by so evil person. The heaven will see to it that she is safe.”
No wonder made fun of how the housemaster was behaving at this mont of ti. Quite contrarily, all of them looked solemn and all the won present were also crying uncontrollably.
