435 Exposed
Su Yuanyang supported her numbly. “Madam, go in first.”
His entire body stiffened, and he resisted the urge to push her away. He thought of the days when he was deeply in love with her. To ask him to accept her betrayal was not any less painful than executing him.
Madam Su wiped the corners of her eyes and walked towards the courtyard. “Why is Old Madam suddenly dying?”
She did not think too much about it. After all, Su Yuanyang would only be so sad if Old Madam Su was on the verge of dying. When she heard the news, she was shocked but also secretly happy. In order to make her expression look worse, she even applied some powder on her face.
The temple hall was very quiet. Old Madam Su liked silence, so there were only two servants in the courtyard.
Madam Su pushed open the door and entered. There was a bed at the back of the temple hall. Old Madam Su was lying on it.
Madam Su walked all the way to the bed. She squatted down in front of the bed and gently pushed Old Madam Su. “Mother, open your eyes and look at me.”
Old Madam Su opened her eyes and looked at the woman in front of her. “You’re here.”
Madam Su nodded. “Mother, they’ll be here soon. Do you have anything to tell me? As long as you give it to me, I can extend your lifespan. You can still live for a long time. At that time, everyone in the world will mold a golden body for you to thank you. Don’t you want to treat illness and save people to accumulate merit and become immortal?”
Old Madam Su looked at her. “Li Xuelian, I won’t give it to you.”
Madam Su frowned. “Who are you giving it to, then? Didn’t you say that I’m very talented and wanted to take me in as your disciple? Why are you going back on your word?”
Old Madam Su looked at this face. Why didn’t she see the ambition under this face back then?
Madam Su smiled. “Mother, do you want to see Xiaowu? Give me that book and I’ll bring Xiaowu to see you.”
Old Madam Su was a little agitated. “Don’t you dare touch her!”
Madam Su pursed her lips. “That silly girl, Xiaowu, hasn’t changed at all. She is still stupid. It’s quite pitiful for her to wander outside for four years. Do you know that she was bought as a child bride? You want to leave the thing to her, but given her limited intelligence, how can she understand it? Why are you so stubborn?”
Old Madam Su was so angry that she reached out to hit Madam Su. If Madam Su hadn’t cheated on her son, she wouldn’t have been so stubborn. She would rather bring the thing into the coffin than give it to her.
Madam Su took a step back. “Don’t be angry. It’s not impossible for you to see Xiaowu, but you have to give me the Kunlun medical book. This is a legendary thing that can save lives and cure illness. I’ve been dreaming about getting my hands on it.”
Old Madam Su’s expression was cold. “Dream on.”
Madam Su sneered. “Why are you so stubborn?”
Hearing footsteps outside, Madam Su stopped talking. Soon, the children and Su Yuanyang came in.
Su Yuanyang walked to the bed and knelt down, lowering his head.
Old Madam Su sat up on the bed.
Madam Su frowned. Wasn’t she dying? Why didn’t it look like that was the case?
Old Madam Su reached out and patted Su Yuanyang’s head. “My son, don’t be afraid. I’m here with you.”
“Husband, what’s going on?”
Madam Su frowned as an uneasy feeling welled up in her heart.
Su Yuanyang raised his head and looked at Madam Su. “Li Xuelian, did I let you down in any way? Why do you want me to suffer such a humiliation? Tell me.”
Madam Su frowned. “Husband, what exactly do you mean? You have to explain it to me well. What did I do wrong?”
Su Yuanyang pointed at the three children. “Su Junchen, Su Junyue, and Su Xiaoling. Who’s their father?”
Madam Su revealed a sad expression and closed her eyes. “Of course they’re your children. Why are you saying this to humiliate me in front of everyone?”
As the eldest son, Su Junchen was already smart enough. His little face revealed anger. “Father, where did you hear such gossip? Your words broke Mother’s heart.”
Su Junyue frowned and said angrily, “Father, apologize to Mother quickly. Otherwise, I’ll be angry.”
Su Xiaoling’s big eyes immediately turned red from crying. “Father, did I do anything wrong? Why don’t you want me anymore?”
Madam Su wiped the corners of her eyes. The three children leaned against her, looking pitiful.
Su Yuanyang looked away. The more he looked, the more painful it became.
Old Madam Su’s eyes darkened. She was afraid that her son would be soft-hearted when he saw them crying. She said coldly, “Whether you all are the Su family’s descendants or not, we’ll see in a while.”
Old Madam Su said to Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan who were sitting in the corner. “Miss Liu, please show us the answer.”
Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan had been present all this while, but they hid their presence. When Madam Su came in, she did not notice them. Now that Old Madam Su spoke, the smile on Madam Su’s face suddenly froze.
She looked at Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan warily. Did they see her acting just now?
She was a little vexed. She had never thought that she would make such a blunder in a moment of carelessness.
A vicious look flashed across Madam Su’s face.
Liu Sanniang walked towards Madam Su and said calmly, “Madam, do you think paper can contain the fire?”
Madam Su’s expression was cold as she raised her hand. “Who do you think you are? How dare you slander me?”
Liu Sanniang grabbed Madam Su’s hand and released her power to break her defense.
Madam Su was stunned for a moment before her expression turned to shock. She looked at Liu Sanniang in disbelief as she discovered that Liu Sanniang was a psychic and her power was far above hers.
Liu Sanniang released her power and enveloped the entire room. She brought Su Yuanyang and Old Madam Su to sense Li Xuelian’s memory.
Li Xuelian was a female doctor of the Mystic Sect. She knew that there was a mysterious book called the Kunlun Medical Book in this world. Cultivators could save people and cure illness with the techniques taught in the book in order to become an immortal. She had yearned for this medical book for a long time. After asking around, she found that Old Madam Su was the person who held the Kunlun Medical Book.
She put in a lot of effort to enter the Su family and was willing to be a concubine just for that book. She had someone else she loved and her wish was to obtain the book and become an immortal with the person she loved. Su Yuanyang was just a stepping stone for her.
Those who came in her way naturally had to be eliminated. Xiaowu, the foolish daughter, was nothing to be afraid of.
However, no matter how she tried to please Old Madam Su, she had no intention of giving her the Kunlun medical book. She realized that Old Madam Su was keeping the book for her granddaughter, so she had the idea of getting rid of Xiaowu.
