Chapter 287: Su Yu’s Past (Part 1)
"Has it been that long?" She exclaimed in surprise, "Isn’t Su Yu a prince of Nanyao Country? Did he go to the Spirit Cultivation Realm when he was very young?"
Yun Feng rarely saw She so interested in Su Yu. As Su Yu’s close friend, he certainly couldn’t stand by idly. For the future happiness of both, he felt it was necessary to give She a crash course on Su Yu. Although knowing too much might not be beneficial to her, since she was about to marry Su Yu, she at least needed to know his true identity, right?
Su Yu had never dealt with women, so if he was genuinely interested in one, there would definitely be some oversight. Therefore, he was sure that currently Little Jing’er had no particular thoughts about Su Yu. This wasn’t a good development. He definitely needed to help out!
However, Yun Feng first went to the door, reached out to feel and listen, made sure no one was around, and She had already returned. Since Su Yu hadn’t followed, it proved he wouldn’t come back here, so Yun Feng could speak with peace of mind.
There were only three people in the room: him, She, and An Chuxue. No outsiders were present, so Yun Feng had nothing to worry about. He chuckled, "Little Jing’er, you’re asking about Yun Peng? You’ve truly come to the right person."
"Indeed, Yun Peng is a prince of Nanyao Country, because his mother, Xia Ji, was the favored concubine of the late Emperor of Nanyao Country. Xia Ji came from a country even further west than Western Qi Country in the Western Regions, known for her stunning beauty. No one knew how she returned with the late Emperor of Nanyao Country, but by then, she was already pregnant. I’ve only heard about Xia Ji, and don’t know much more. What I do know is she didn’t like Yun Peng, so from the moment Yun Peng was born, this biological mother began poisoning him. A little each time—not enough to kill him, but enough to make him live in unbearable pain, with the toxins accumulating until there was no cure."
"Oh, heavens, this can’t be true, can it? Is there really such a mother in this world? She must be crazy!" exclaimed An Chuxue from the side, her eyes wide open. Working in a hospital, she had seen countless mothers who abandoned their children, even some who beat and mistreated them. But a mother who poisoned her biological son from birth—this she had truly never heard of!
She was also stunned. In her previous life, she had no family and didn’t know what familial affection felt like. But in this life, Su Yaogeng, her adoptive mother, cared for her so much, making it even harder for her to imagine what kind of mindset a biological mother could have to torment a newborn child. She had never heard of anything this perverse...
Yun Feng said, "I knew you would react like this because no one dares to believe that a mother could do such things. But Yun Peng is indeed Xia Ji’s son. You’ll know just by looking at the face if you ever meet Xia Ji."
She...
"Is she still alive?" Though the question seemed a bit inappropriate, She truly thought such a heartless mother would be better off dead than alive.
Yun Feng shook his head, "Not only is she alive, but she’s living quite comfortably."
An Chuxue couldn’t help but remark, "Truly, the wicked leave a thousand-year legacy!"
After saying that, she thought maybe it wasn’t right and quickly covered her mouth.
Yun Feng laughed, "It’s okay. I’ve cursed that old witch plenty myself because I’ve never seen anyone so venomous! The worse thing she did was not just poisoning Yun Peng; when Yun Peng was about three or four years old, she directly threw him into Liangshan Snow Forest, leaving him to fend for himself."
