Chapter 252 – Raising A Son In The Cultivation World (part 4)
Mrs. Liu-Fang looked at Li Su again. “Qingyun, have you ever thought about sending Liu Xian back to the Yuan family? Liu Xian is the eldest son of the Yuan family and the heir to the Yuan family. How can you easily cheat others?”
Mrs. Liu-Xie then came over. “Fourth younger brother and  fourth younger sister, you are not well-informed!” Liu Qingwu and Mrs. Liu-Xie talked a lot, so Mrs. Liu-Xie did not want to let Immortal Stays go back to the Yuan family and recognise those ancestors. The things that her father-in-law left behind couldn’t be left for others.
“Eldest sister-in-law, what do you mean?” Mrs. Liu-Fang asked in confusion.
“Don’t you know? Last night, an immortal went to the Yuan family and said that the living girl from the twins bones were good and that she would be a promising cultivator, accepted her as a disciple, and took her away,” said Mrs. Liu-Xie.
Li Su understood that what eldest sister-in-law said was not only for fourth sister-in-law to hear, but more for herself.
Li Su smiled slightly. “I have divorced Yuan Dao. What does the Yuan family have to do with me?”
Mrs. Liu-Xie nodded with satisfaction. “That’s good. Now that you have done it, don’t regret it. Otherwise, what would be the point of everything you have done so far?”
Mrs. Liu-Fang didn’t care about the deep meaning in Mrs. Liu-Xie’s and Li Su’s words. Her mind was full of the fact that an immortal had arrived. “I didn’t expect the Yuan family to have such a fortuitous encounter!”
“There was an immortal cultivator that was an ancestor of the Su family. It is not surprising for them to have this fortuitous encounter. It is said that the Su family also has a practice method left by the immortals. Those who practice this practice method can strengthen their health and prolong their life. Yuan Dao asked to marry Su Wanrong for this practice method. But over the years, the Su family had not seen any extraordinary talents. Apart from this method, there were no other fortuitous encounters. It is said that, when a man gets to the top, all his friends and family go there with him. I don’t think that’s the case,” Li Su said.
Mrs. Liu-Xie nodded. “Qingyun is right.”
However, Mrs. Liu-Fang was a little disapproving. She thought that Li Su was just jealous.
Li Su didn’t care what Mrs. Liu-Fang thought. She had already done what she could. As long as she didn’t take the initiative to provoke the cultivators and the Yuan family, she didn’t believe that they could still control her.
Although the story didn’t explain Yuan Ru’s fate, but until the end, Yuan Ru never appeared. She didn’t know whether Yuan Ru went to cultivate, or because she intervened in the life and death of mortals without authorisation, was stripped of her abilities and was punished by the heavens. As for Yuan Ye, he probably knew what happened to Yuan Ru, and he took it as a warning. When he was cultivating, he never interfered in the affairs of mortals. Even when his sons were in danger, he didn’t take action. He truly cut off earthly bonds and love.
Yuan Ye was a real cultivator! If cultivators relied on their own cultivation to interfere in the life and death of mortals at will, wouldn’t the world be in chaos?
At this time, in the Yuan family’s West Garden, Su Wanrong was still in her confinement period. Her whole body was in pain. She knew that it was because of the wind last night. But even so, she was still happy.
She gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, but the son died, and the daughter lived. When she was desperate, an immortal suddenly came and took her daughter away.
Although Su Wanrong was reluctant to part with her daughter, she knew that this was the best ending.
“Madam, the master is here,” Yuli, the maid, said softly.
Su Wanrong quickly stretched out her arms and gestured to get up. “Quickly help me up.”
“Lie down, don’t get up.” Yuan Dao stepped forward. When he saw that she was about to get up, he hurried over and pressed her back down on the bed.
“Husband,” Su Wanrong said softly.
“You need to rest. There is no need for such formalities,” Yuan Dao said softly. His first son died as soon as he was born, and Yuan Dao was very sad, but his daughter was accepted as a disciple by an immortal. It was a happy thing.
Su Wanrong hesitated to speak, but Yuan Dao held her hand. “You don’t need to say more. I understand in my heart that you and I are still young. There will be opportunities in the future.”
Su Wanrong’s nose tingled and she almost burst into tears. Since Mrs. Liu and her husband divorced, her pressure had suddenly increased a lot. Everyone’s eyes were focussed on her. It was as if they were all watching to see how virtuous she was and what kind of ability she had that made her husband divorce Mrs. Liu for her.
Only the heavens knew that she was innocent. She didn’t do anything!
It was Mrs. Liu who wanted to divorce and her husband agreed. What did it have to do with her? From the beginning to the end, no one asked her opinion. Why was it all her fault in the end?
It wasn’t just others, but also her husband, father-in-law, and mother-in-law who were all focussed on her stomach. That attention made Su Wanrong unable to breathe. She gave birth to a pair of twins, and before she could sigh in relief, her son was dead upon birth. The dragon had died, but the phoenix lived. Was this the heavens punishing her? What did she do wrong?
Yuan Dao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart when he saw Su Wanrong like this. He couldn’t say what he was going to say just now. He could only comfort her. “Don’t think too much. It will get better in the future.”
Before coming here, Mother and Father Yuan had told him that they would give Su Wanrong another two years. If she could not give birth to a legitimate son, she would have to let Yuan Dao take a concubine.
But after seeing Su Wanrong, Yuan Dao didn’t want to put any more pressure on her. Although he also desperately wanted to have an heir, he had let down one woman. He couldn’t let another one down.
After hearing Yuan Dao’s words, Su Wanrong felt much better. “I know. Thank you, husband.”
“Rest well. Don’t worry about Lan’er. Mother will take good care of Lan’er,” Yuan Dao said.
Su Wanrong nodded.
“Master! Master!” Yuhu called softly.
“What’s the matter?” Yuan Dao asked.
“The servant Mo, who serves the old master, came and said that the old master wants to talk to master  about something so servant Mo is asking master to hurry up,” Yuhu said.
Yuan Dao frowned. He just came from his father. What was the matter?
“Father is looking for you. It must be an urgent matter. You should go quickly. I’ll be fine,” Su Wanrong said thoughtfully.
“Okay, rest well. I’ll see you later in the evening.” Yuan Dao tucked the quilt around her.
Su Wanrong looked at Yuan Dao’s handsome face. She felt his tenderness, and felt extremely anxious. “Mm, husband, walk slowly.”
Yuan Dao nodded and walked out.
When he arrived at Lofty Purple Hall, he saw Mother and Father Yuan sitting with serious expressions on their faces.
“Father, mother, what’s wrong?” Yuan Dao asked.
“Housekeeper, tell him,” said Father Yuan.
The housekeeper stood by, bowed and said, “Yes. This old servant’s grandniece is married to the youngest son of Madam Liu. This time, when Madam Liu left the residence, this old servant’s grandniece also followed her. A few days ago, she went home to see her relatives and said
”
“What?!” Yuan Dao said impatiently.
“She said that Madam Liu is pregnant. If the time has been calculated correctly, she should have given birth in the last few days! After this old servant found out, this old servant knew that it was a big deal, so this old servant didn’t dare to neglect this matter. This old servant quickly ordered this old servant’s son to inquire, but the gate of the Lotus Manor was tight. There was no way of inquiring. This old servant had to ask this old servant’s grandniece to hurry back and find out. Just now, this old servant’s grandniece ordered someone to send a letter back. It is said that Madam Liu gave birth to a son safely ten days ago.” The housekeeper lowered his head after speaking.
Yuan Dao stood up. “What did you say? Are you sure?”
The housekeeper didn’t speak, but his expression said everything.
Yuan Dao paced back and forth. What did Liu Qingyun mean? She was already pregnant when she divorced him. She didn’t tell the truth and insisted on divorcing him. Furthermore, she would have had a legitimate son and her position would have been stable. No matter whether Wanrong gave birth to a son or daughter, it would not have affected her. Why did she insist on divorcing?
Was it to make him regret it? Yuan Dao thought so.
“Okay, don’t leave. I feel dizzy,” Mother Yuan said while holding her forehead.
“Dao’er, what are your plans now?” Father Yuan asked.
“What’s the plan? Of course, it should be to bring back my good grandson,” Mother Yuan said immediately.
Father Yuan glanced at her helplessly, “How could it be so easy? Mrs. Liu has already divorced Dao’er. If you rush over to ask, will they give it to you? Could it be that the Yuan and Liu families will have to go to court?”
“In any case, I have to go there in person. I want to confirm whether this is true,” Yuan Dao said resolutely.
Father Yuan pondered for a while, then nodded. “That is a good idea. Go!”
In West Garden, Su Wanrong was still waiting for Yuan Dao to come and see her, but after waiting for a long time, no one came. Yuli persuaded, “Madam should rest. Madam should not worry about it now.”
“Yuli, go and find out what happened. Where is the master?” Su Wanrong was worried. She felt that something had happened.
Yuli and Yuhu looked at each other. They wondered if they should tell the madam about the master’s departure.
Seeing this, Su Wanrong immediately understood that something had happened. “Tell me. What happened to the master?”
Yuli thought about it for a while, and then said, “I heard from the concierge that the master seems to have something important to do. In the afternoon, he left the house in a hurry.”
Su Wanrong frowned. In the past, the master would tell her wherever he went. What happened this time?
“Yuhu, see if you can find out why the master went out,” Su Wanrong instructed softly.
“Yes. Madam, take a break now and take care of your body,” Yuhu quickly responded.
But after Su Wanrong fell asleep, Yuhu and Yuli went out. Yuhu sighed while frowning. Since Mrs. Liu and the master divorced, the people in the mansion have stared at West Garden wherever they went. It was not as convenient for them to do things in the mansion as before.
It was similar to inquiring about the whereabouts of the master. Before, they didn’t have to open their mouths. As long as they found a person serving the master, they would take the initiative to tell them. Now

Yuli persuaded, “Go ahead and try it. Aren’t you close to Shouyi, who is next to the master? Go and ask him.”
Yuhu rolled her eyes at Yuli. “If Shouyi is in the mansion, of course I don’t have to worry. Isn’t that why he’s not here?” Li Shouyi served the master from a young age and the master trusted him greatly. After she entered the manor with the madam, she approached Li Shouyi and became good friends with him. Li Shouyi looked good and had a future. She was willing in her heart.
“Ah? Shouyi also went with him? That’s fine. When master returns, you can go to Shouyi again. Then, wouldn’t you know everything?” Yuli said after thinking for a while.
“But what if the madam asks again tomorrow? How should I answer?” Yuhu asked.
“It’s okay. Tomorrow, I’ll go to the old madam’s place to pick up the eldest young lady. When the madam sees the eldest young lady, she won’t have any other thoughts. It’s okay to put it off for a while, but if it’s really not good, just say it!” Yuli said.
Yuhu sighed. It could only be like this.
