Chapter 10
Her heart ached, not because of injury or something, but because of pain seeing the woman's condition.
This is all because of her!
"Xue'er why do you look so glum?" That woman is still smiled and asked her.
"Mom, your condition is getting worse from time to time. I can't stand seeing you like this, I'll find a way to cure you now!"
Before she left her hand was held by her mother.
"Eh... Why are you in too much of a hurry. Look... your mother is fine here you know."
Xia Xue looked at her mother and increasingly gloomy.
Her mother had a face that was undoubtedly beautiful, with her long black hair falling on the bed and the charm of her mature body. She will be a beauty that captivates anyone who sees her.
But Xia Xue didn't, because what she saw was the figure of her mother with pale unhealthy skin, her body was clearly getting thinner from day to day when she saw it.
Although with a beautiful smile on her face, she knew... Her mother was suffering deeply.
Because she could clearly see that the aura of death was increasingly concentrating around her mother.
"Mom... you've suffered too long... I-"
"Stupid girl! Are you trying to curse your mother to suffer? I told you I'm very healthy here. Don't worry too much... Your mother won't die easily."
Her words were only interrupted in the middle of the road when she finally got a lecture.
However, if he did not act quickly his mother truly would not be saved.
"Mom, I will try to speak and beg Father to look for the famous Physician in the Kingdom." She must do anything for her mother.
"You are not allowed to beg or anything! Especially to that man! If you remain stubborn, I will die right in front of you no matter what!"
She panicked when she heard his mother's cold and angry words.
"I- I understand, I won't beg or anything! Please don't say that!"
"Good! Even though we are women, we also need to have self-respect. And if that guy is still bothering us, I will fight to the death with him.
Xia Xue just quietly heard all the complaints to the man, her father!
A father who used to be loving now is not the same person as before.
And this has all been seen since five years ago,
...
On her twelfth birthday, her father brought home a woman with hand in hand
She didn't really understand at the time, but her mother looked very angry. The fight finally happened on a night that was supposed to be a happy night on her birthday.
The next day her mother calmed down a little, she finally learned that the woman who came with her father that night would be her second mother.
Having more than one wife is very reasonable in this World, she also understands that. But Xia Xue was very uncomfortable with the strange look that the Second Mother showed her.
Within three years, her family's position improved rapidly. Xia Xue was also happy with it, although she didn't really understand. She got various abundant resources for her cultivation.
With 'Unique Physical Yin' who was told by her father and the attentive care given to her,
Xia Xue was created as one of the Geniuses on this Continent by reaching u003cMortal Martialu003e level 5 at fifteen years old.
But what she did not understand was her mother. When he saw it, she felt a sad look from her mother's eyes.
Her mother's att.i.tude also became colder from day to day. She also often saw her fighting with
When she asked his mother what had happened, she only got an answer not to worry too much and gave it all to her.
So she just continued to practice diligently. The only one that he did not like, it was the second mother's strange view of her as if mocking, she did not understand that!
Lately, she even saw such a view from her father who became very close to her second mother than her own mother.
She thought that the fight would be over and her parents would return to the harmonious life they used to, but the reality was different.
Her mother became isolated in this house, even the att.i.tude of the guards and servants was not as respectful as before.
And finally her mother's outburst of anger erupted at the end of her Adult Ceremony at age sixteen.
Her father talked about her engagement to a Royal General's son, and that angered Mother.
Quarrels don't occur in the word of mouth debate. They fought with real power to make the whole city hit by chaos.
Because her mother's cultivation level is higher than her father's,
Father became helpless, but with the help of a second mother who suddenly came in and helped him. They managed to compensate for Mother and ended up injured on both sides.
Xia Xiu is still confused by her mother's overreaction when talking about engagement. Until she knows all the truth...
The truth that she accidentally heard from her father and a messenger from the kingdom.
Father: "Oh welcome... Are you here to deliver news to the General?"
Envoy: "That's right Mr. Xia, so what's the situation?"
Father: "There is a little problem here, but it is only a trivial matter. You can convince the General that my daughter will be ready to be engaged to her son."
Envoy: "That's good, you also know what happens if you just make nonsense don't you?"
Father: "Of course. Um... about the condition, what did the General say?"
Envoy: "If all goes well, then you will receive all the benefits of being an Echelon of the Kingdom, be it wealth, fame, or power. The General guarantees that."
Father: "That's great. Also... I have taken care of my daughter very well, so the General's son will certainly be very satisfied...
Plus with her unique physical, it will help the General's son cultivate "
Envoy: "You are a strange old man you know?"
Father: "Why is that?"
Envoy: "You also know the true nature of the General's son, right?"
Father: "Yes, I know."
Envoy "Jezz... if you know, even if your daughter will become her fiancé. I'm not sure he will treat your daughter well. And here you act very relaxedly as if none of your business."
Father: "Eh... Isn't it normal for a daughter to sacrifice for the benefit of their family?"
Envoy: "Well whatever, that is also none of my business. I will go back now."
Dad: "Oh, hopefully, your journey will be smooth, leave my greetings to the General!"
When the Envoy left, Xia Xue heard her father muttering alone.
"Now it's time to take care of that very annoying b.i.t.c.h!"
Xia Xue who had been hiding so well already had many tears on her face. She bit her lip hard to bleed to hold back her sobs.
...
So... Are they being nice to me all this time just to be a bargaining chip?
So... Are all the attention and kindness fake?
So that's how it is? Their gaze!
I understand...
So they just think of me as something to be harvested after being fat in treatment.
Where did the very loving father going!?
Obviously now he is filled with greed! Hungry for worldly things, there is not the slightest affection for his family!
He even called mom as a b.i.t.c.h!
Very nice! Very good!
I understand why Mother is so angry now!
I am stupid!
I'm so stupid!
I bet mom carried all the burden all this time alone!
She must know their plan! and find a way to save me from this situation!
But what did I do?
I only doubted Mother's reaction and instead always received kindness from that's hypocrites!
I am very angry!
Getting angry at myself like this!
I have to help mom!
I will not let those hypocrites succeed and act as they please!
...
But all did not go well before she could speak with her mother.
Her mother, who was on her way to visit her grandmother, was attacked and injured.
When she heard the news, without hesitation she ran to her grandmother's residence.
Her mother came from one of the most prominent ancient families, so her grandmother did not let her return when she saw such a suspicious situation.
But Xia Xue has one certainty!
This situation must be related to her father!
This is definitely what they hope for, obstacles like her mother must be removed.
And her confidence was increasing with her father's indifferent actions only sending a makes.h.i.+ft Doctor when he visits her mother.
Because the wound received by her mother was very strange, it was like a curse that eroded one's life energy.
Many physicians and researchers hired by his grandmother failed to heal...
And finally the situation becomes increasingly critical like this.
...
...
"I'll go to the library to find some clues, so you must rest, Mom." Xia Xue can only rely on herself for now.
"Mhmm... Don't worry too much, everything will be fine. I believe in you!"
"And don't push yourself too hard!"
She heard her mom's attention as she began to close the door.
Removing the little tears that formed, Xia Xue walked to the Library with new determination.
