Lin Que continued, “As for Ninth Brother’s father, Si Huaizhang, you should know that according to the rules, many people whose talents didn’t meet the standards were evicted from the Independent State, and many of these people created a clan and amassed power in China. They devoted their efforts to nurturing their children with the hope that they could return to the Independent State one day.

“Si Huaizhang was one of those descendants who met the standards and was brought back to the Independent State. He returned to the ancient Si clan and became very valued too.

“He and Auntie Rong met during a mission once, and Auntie Rong fell in love with him at first sight. She ignored all of the other outstanding pursuers wooing her and placed her heart and soul on Si Huaizhang.

“Unfortunately, it was unrequited. Ninth Brother’s father fell in love with a girl from China and even forsook the rare opportunity of returning to the Independent State for that girl. He abandoned his clan and fled back to China, eloping with that Chinese girl…”

Ye Wanwan was astonished when she heard this. This hidden past was lost in the mists of antiquity and no one dared to mention it due to Yin Yuerong’s looming intimidation, so First Elder and the others hadn’t discovered this. If it weren’t for Lin Que, she really wouldn’t know all of this.

Ye Wanwan asked, “And then?”

Lin Que sighed. “And then… you should know how severe the Independent State’s laws are, so how could the ancient Si clan tolerate something like this? In order to avoid having their clan implicated, they kept hunting Si Huaizhang. In the end, it was Auntie Rong who rescued Si Huaizhang and left the Independent State for him.”

Lin Que paused and continued, “Later, that Chinese girl didn’t want to live in fear and trepidation anymore, so she left Si Huaizhang and got married to someone else…

“Because Si Huaizhang violated the laws of the Independent State, he received extremely severe punishments and even dragged down his clan and parents.”

“In the end, because of Si Huaizhang’s mother’s relentless imploring and persuasion, Si Huaizhang had to marry Auntie Rong. Auntie Rong’s Master possessed a very prestigious reputation in the Independent State back then and pleaded for leniency on their behalf, so the matter was finally resolved. However, from then on, Si Huaizhang and Auntie Rong weren’t allowed to return to the Independent State…”

It was no wonder that back in China, Grandmother kept saying she regretted letting Ah-Jiu’s parents get together. It was because of this.

After Ye Wanwan listened to this, she truly didn’t know what to say. “Um… wasn’t Yin Yuerong’s sacrifice too great?”

For a man who didn’t love her, she basically abandoned everything she possessed.

“A woman gave so much for him, but are you saying that Si Huaizhang wasn’t touched in the slightest?” Ye Wanwan couldn’t figure out how Si Huaizhang could fool around with so many women later and sire so many children.

Lin Que shrugged. “I heard that their relationship after getting married was okay and they managed the Si clan in China rather well. However, later on, something melodramatic happened… Si Huaizhang’s sweetheart probably didn’t have a good life after getting married, so she sought out Si Huaizhang… Si Huaizhang couldn’t control himself… and the two of them got together again…”

1The corner of Ye Wanwan’s lips twitched. “D*mn… That scummy?”

Thank goodness Ah-Jiu didn’t inherit this trait from his father…

Ye Wanwan couldn’t help but ask, “Didn’t Yin Yuerong explode with anger?”

Lin Que immediately replied, “How could she not be angry?! Regardless of how much Auntie Rong liked Si Huaizhang and followed his wishes for everything, she couldn’t tolerate this kind of matter. After all, what she cared about the most was Si Huaizhang’s first love… So afterward, Auntie Rong wrecked the company that woman and her husband opened in a fit of anger!”
