Chapter 255 – Raising A Son In The Cultivation World (part 7)

A year later, Yuan Dao finally had a son. The Yuan family was so happy that they held a banquet.

Yuan Dao deliberately asked people to send invitations to Lotus Manor, but nobody was there. Li Su and her son were not at the Lotus Manor.

After he inquired carefully, he found out that they lived at different places throughout the year. They lived in Lotus Manor in summer. If he wanted to find them at Lotus Manor, he would have to come back next summer!

When the visitor came back and said this, the Yuan family was silent.

Especially Yuan Dao. He originally wanted to show off his son. He wanted to show that he did not care, that without Liu Qingyun, someone else would give birth to his son.

Su Wanrong’s heart was also a little sour. It was really extravagant to change residence every season! She remembered that when she entered the Yuan family, her husband had mentioned to her that he would give her a manor in a few years. But now a few years had passed and the words lingered, but there was no manor in sight.

Suddenly there was the cry of the baby. The nursing mother carried the baby over. “The young master misses the madam. Madam, give the young master a hug!”

As soon as the child was born, he was carried to Su Wanrong’s side, and he was recorded under Su Wanrong’s name.

Su Wanrong looked at the child, and subconsciously avoided it. A trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. Seeing this, Yuli hurried over to support her arm. “Are you feeling sick again, madam?”

Yuan Dao had been paying attention to his son’s situation, and naturally saw Su Wanrong’s actions. He was originally a little unhappy, but when he heard Yuli say this, Yuan Dao immediately asked, concerned, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why does your face not look good?” Then, he naturally stretched out his hand to support Su Wanrong.

He still liked Su Wanrong a lot. Although Su Wanrong was not as beautiful as Liu Qingyun, nor did she have the talents of Liu Qingyun, but she was gentle and dignified, and she was submissive and obedient. Su Wanrong satisfied Yuan Dao’s imagination of a wife and a woman.

Su Wanrong didn’t speak. Yuli helped her out. “Madam is very uncomfortable these days. This servant wanted to persuade the madam to find a doctor. But the madam said that these few days are good days for the young master, so she didn’t want to disturb him. This servant will prepare to ask for the doctor in a few days.”

Yuan Dao frowned. “If you feel unwell, you should ask for a doctor earlier. How can you delay it? Go and ask for a doctor!”

After the doctor came to see her, he only said that Su Wanrong was suffering from a cold. It was not a big problem. Su Wanrong just needed to take a few medicines.

Yuan Dao was a little relieved. After exchanging a few words, he went out to see his son. Of course, Mrs. Li, who gave birth to his eldest son, also had to be comforted. After taking her eldest son, she must get another son, so she would have a support in the future.

Yuan Dao asked himself to be fair.

Yuan Dao left. Su Wanrong was not disappointed, but relieved. She glanced at Yuli. Yuli understood and quietly caught up with the doctor. Yuli gave the doctor a purse. “Doctor, my madam’s period is more than half a month late. Is it a sign of pregnancy?”

The doctor shook his head firmly. “No! This old man has been practicing medicine for more than ten years, and it is still possible to tell whether a woman has a pregnancy pulse. Not only does the madam not have a pregnancy pulse, I see that the madam is a little depressed and has irregular menstruation. Madam still has to open her heart. Maybe she can get her wish as soon as possible.”

Yuli’s face changed. She finally went back in a huff. She told the doctor’s words to Su Wanrong. Su Wanrong was a little disappointed. Wasn’t she pregnant? Since she had given birth last time, her period was somewhat inaccurate, either in early or late. But no matter whether it was early or late, it was only five or six days at most. This time, her period was half a month late, so she thought she was pregnant.

It turned out that she still wasn’t!

Su Wanrong sighed. She saw that the eldest son who occupied her son’s seat had already been born. If she could not have another son soon, it would be too late when this child grew up healthy. She must have a son, and it must be a son with her blood!

For Su Wanrong, there was no other way but that method.

“I know. You all leave!” Su Wanrong said calmly.

That night, Su Wanrong took out a stick of incense from the bottom of a box. She took out three sticks, then took out a dagger from under the pillow. She opened her clothes, endured the pain, pierced her chest, took a bit of blood from her heart, and dripped it on the burning incense. She then knelt down, facing the moon, and prayed sincerely.

When the incense was about to burn out, a girl stepped on the moonlight, landed in front of her, and waved gently. “Mother.”

Then, she waved her hand again, and a medicine appeared over Su Wanrong’s mouth.

Su Wanrong trustingly opened her mouth and swallowed the medicine. Suddenly, a warmth surrounded her body and the pain in her heart disappeared.

“Why did mother call me?” the girl asked.

“Ru’er, mother has no other way. You have to help mother!” Su Wanrong looked at her daughter greedily. According to the age in this world, her daughter was only 2 years old, but she looked like she was a 5- or 6-year-old child. Immortals were truly extraordinary.

Yuan Ru sighed in her heart. Needless to say, she understood what her mother meant. With a wave of her hand, a pill appeared on the coffee table beside Su Wanrong. “Have sex within seven days after taking it. When my younger brother is born, I will appear again.”

Those few words were enough to make Su Wanrong smile.

Su Wanrong also knew how powerful it was. She found this soul-seeking incense in the warehouse of the old house when she was young. She didn’t know what it was, but when she saw the incense, she had a thought in her heart that told her that it was hers. After that, she hid the incense.

Later, she secretly inquired about the incense and learned from a half-crazy, half-stupid old servant in the family that there was an immortal ancestor in the Su family, and the incense was left for the future generations by the immortal ancestor. This incense could be lit to summon an immortal. But there was one condition. Burning of this incense required the heart and soul of the petitioner. And if the person did it too many times, it would be detrimental to them.

Heart blood… Who dared to take blood from the heart?! In addition, outsiders knew that the Su family had an immortal ancestor, and they have always respected the Su family. The Su family had never ignited this soul-seeking incense.

This was the second time that Su Wanrong had ignited this soul-seeking incense. The first time was the night when she gave birth to a dragon and a phoenix, but the dragon died and the phoenix was born.

“Mother knows. Mother misses you too. If you can visit mother often and let her know that you are doing well, mother will be relieved,” Su Wanrong said with concern.

Yuan Ru gave a wry smile. Didn’t mother know that cultivators could read people’s hearts? Did mother miss her? When did mother miss her and how come she didn’t know? But her master said that this was a debt she owed in her previous life, and that she was here to repay the debt in this life. She could only deal with it.

“I’m leaving. Mother, take care.”

After Yuan Ru disappeared, Su Wanrong couldn’t wait to take the elixir. She touched her stomach and smiled proudly.

Two months later, Su Wanrong had good news.

After Li Su heard the news, she thought to herself that this was probably the child who was loved by the heavens, right? The male protagonist was born, so shouldn’t Liu Mingzhu be here too? It was said that her eldest brother was powerful enough and had grandchildren. Sister-in-law was really virtuous, and she treated her as if she was her own. Hmph!

Not long after, Liu Qingwu came over in person and happily reported to Li Su, “You are probably going to have another nephew or niece. I’m looking forward to Mother Wan’s baby being a daughter, then maybe there can be a marriage between cousins.”

Li Su wanted to politely decline. That was the future female lead and Immortal Stays couldn’t handle such a burden. Besides, she was a person with modern education, and wasn’t marriage between blood relatives prohibited by law? “Eldest brother, you forgot that Immortal Stays’ surname is Liu, there is no need for them to marry each other since they are cousins. Besides, I have already thought about it. Immortal Stays’ marriage is his decision and I will not intervene.”

“Nonsense! Marriage has always been the word of the parents and the matchmaker! How can you let the child decide for himself?” Liu Qingwu glared at her. “I know that you are high-spirited and dislike your older brother. Don’t worry, Mother Wan is well versed in poetry and books, and possesses a wide knowledge of all things modern and ancient. The children she gave birth to are all like her and not like me. You know what Little Seven is like. You’re sure to love your future niece.”

Li Su shook his head helplessly and reminded him, “Eldest brother, no matter how good Mother Wan is, she is just a concubine. Sister-in-law is your official wife. You can favour her, but not too much.”

Liu Qingwu rolled his eyes at her. “Don’t worry, I know. Your sister-in-law is also a virtuous person. She said that if Mother Wan’s child is a daughter, she will be recorded in her name. Girls are not like boys. As long as they have the ability, you don’t have to worry about a way out.” Although he favored Mother Wan a little bit, he was not stupid. He wouldn’t do anything like favouring a concubine to the extent where it destroyed his relationship with his wife.

Li Su smiled slightly, virtuous? She was afraid it would be a last resort! She couldn’t do it anyway.

“By the way, what about Immortal Stays? Uncle is here so why didn’t he come out?” Liu Qingwu looked around. No wonder he felt as if something was missing. Where was his nephew?

“Today there is a market in the nearby area, and I asked Jinzhu to take him to the market to play,” Li Su said casually.

“You are too bold! There are so many people in the market. If something happens… Are you taking this as a joke? Why don’t you send someone to bring them back soon? Forget it, I’ll go by myself!” Liu Qingwu stood up abruptly and walked out.

As he walked out, he muttered, “I know you are unreliable. It’s all because dad spoiled you!”

Li Su was a little speechless. There were more than a dozen people in total. Could it be that he thought that many people couldn’t even watch a child? He made her look like a stepmother. He was too delicate to raise children!

Half an hour later, Liu Qingwu came back with Immortal Stays with a displeased face.

As soon as Immortal Stays saw Li Su, he struggled to get down from Liu Qingwu’s arms. Liu Qingwu was afraid of him falling, so he quickly put him down.

Immortal Stays ran to Li Su and hugged Li Su’s leg without speaking.

Li Su bent over to pick him up and put him on her lap. “Why is our Immortal Stays unhappy? Who messed with you?” Then, she whispered in Immortal Stays’ ear, “Was it Uncle? Don’t be angry. Uncle is getting old and timid. He was afraid that Immortal Stays would be captured by the bad guys, so he brought Immortal Stays back. Immortal Stays, don’t be angry with your uncle, okay?”

Immortal Stays looked back at his uncle. He turned his head angrily and buried his face in Li Su’s neck, refusing to speak. He was being held by Auntie Jinzhu, listening to someone tell a story. He was really happy to hear it. He didn’t expect his uncle to arrive so suddenly and scold Auntie Jinzhu before his uncle hugged him and left. He hadn’t heard the ending yet.

Seeing him like this, Liu Qingwu was very happy. “Kid, you are spoiled by your mother. Uncle is doing this for your own good, but you still don’t appreciate it? You can go back and wait to get kidnapped, and then cry.”
