Chapter 531: Chapter 530: Is it really too late?_1

This infuriated his mother, who suffered a prenatal shock and was bedridden for half a year.

They thought the matter was over, but oddly enough, a scandalous affair cropped up and his sister-in-law ended up pregnant with her brother-in-law’s child.

His mother grew weaker because of this, and after another crisis, she passed away!

During the time his mother was mourning, Princess Consort Xuan was carried into her husband’s home through the side door and five months later gave birth to their second son, Qin Ru.

What made Qin Hong even more furious was that despite the scandalous circumstances of the birth of his brother, their father still favored him. Despite many old servants speaking up for him as the legitimate eldest son, he did not regain any of his lost status. Instead, as the rightful eldest son, he was increasingly neglected and expressly loathed by his father.

At that time, he thought that it was because he was not good enough, not outstanding enough. Therefore, he studied hard, strived to improve, and tried to prove his worth to his father.

Eventually, he reached a point where his father had to pay attention to him, but it was still met with indifference.

It wasn’t until he overheard a conversation between his father and his stepmother that he understood. The woman his father truly loved was his stepmother, and his mother was nothing but a replacement!

The replacement had caused the woman he truly loved to enter their house pregnant from a side door, and of course, he could not lay any blame on a deceased woman.

So, naturally, the father vented all his anger on the replacement’s child, which was him!

No matter how brilliant he was or how much he improved, his father would never care about him.

Thinking of these things, a cold light flashed in Qin Hong’s eyes, disappearing quickly.

Then, there was another severe bout of coughing.

Mr. Jiang sighed repeatedly.

"Young master, don’t dwell too much on these things, lest they become a burden on your heart and detrimental to your injury! What you should do now is to wait for an opportunity! Once the time is ripe, it will be your chance to shine!"

"Wait for an opportunity? The right time..."

Qin Hong gazed out the window. Snow was falling heavily outside, covering the world in a silvery white.

That one time, too, was just such a snowy day.

While observing the warm family scene, he couldn’t help but feel wronged for his mother. He resented his father, who slapped him in the face when he spoke out for his mother, leading Qin Hong to run out of the house in anger.

The weather was freezing, and after walking unsteadily, unable to bear the cold anymore, he took shelter under the eaves of a house and accidentally saw a Daoist priest in thin clothing, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. Curious, he squatted beside him and watched before leaving; worried about the priest getting cold, he placed his own mink-fur robe on him.

Unexpectedly, the silent priest stopped him, looked deeply into his eyes, and said, "A tiger lunges across a plain, a dragon trapped in shallow water waits for the right opportunity, and when it comes, it will soar."

At the time, he didn’t understand the meaning of those words.

He was Prince Xuan’s legitimate son, but his father barely acknowledged him, treating him with less regard than a stranger. The idea of soaring seemed outlandish when he was struggling just to stay alive.

Later, he unexpectedly discovered that the priest was actually the Venerable Priest Liao Chen, the best expert in the Innate Yi Jing Divination in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Priest Liao Chen was known for his outstanding skills and obscure movements. He allegedly had knowledge of the past and future spanning over the span of 5,000 years and was considered an extraordinary man. He had given Qin Hong a prediction that must have profound implications!

Knowing that it was Taoist Priest Liao Chen who gave him his divination, his spirits soared. He slowly hid all his abrasiveness, striving to become a flawless person.

While enhancing his personal skills, he also silently began to consolidate his own power, slowly expanding his influence, inch by inch, and accumulated over time.

Now, he was ready for anything – except for the missing crucial opportunity.

But this opportunity was still nowhere to be seen!

The recent visit of his father and Qin Ru to the capital city made him fear that...

Has he run out of time?

When would the perfect opportunity actually arrive? When could he truly soar? What exactly is this so-called opportunity?

As he pondered, a dove flew in through the window.

He gently whistled, and the dove flew to him.

He reached out to take the little note attached to the dove’s foot, and unfolded it.

His eyes brightened, and he looked at the sky outside the window, his eyes flickering. The images of Qin Yi and Su Pan’er flashed in his mind.

Surprisingly, this couple seemed to have a close relationship with the General Zhen Guo, Ye Han, and she was actually the miracle healer who was recently honored by His Majesty!

And she was the daughter of the Liu Family?

Could it be...

The General’s Mansion.

Su Pan’er and her husband rested well for a night, and woke up the next day feeling refreshed and comfortable.

Ye Han took great care of them, assigning many maidservants to look after their daily needs.

Boxes of clothes and jewelry were sent to the Lin Feng Garden where they were staying. The pieces of jewelry filled the dressing table, reflecting a dazzling light.

However, Su Pan’er didn’t have a liking for these.

She casually picked out a set of top-grade jade jewelry in the shape of green water drops and put it on. This immediately enchanted Qin Yi, who looked at her with intense admiration. Under the adornment of this jewelry set, her now fair skin appeared even more refined and elegant, adding charm and grace to her beauty.

The breakfast was sumptuous, with many dishes Su Pan’er had never tasted before. Whenever she glanced at a dish, a servant immediately served it to her.

Only Little Feng seemed to be unable to adapt to the situation, shrinking back in fear, turning pale at the slight shake.

Su Pan’er, rubbing her round belly, scanned him and gave him a glare.

"If you’re really so timid, then leave the mansion. I brought you to Shengjing on the condition that you would find your sister. Now not only have we arrived in Shengjing, but we are also in the inner city. Do I need to kick you out before you leave!"

"I..."

Little Feng shivered; the snack from his chopsticks fell to the ground. Tears welled up in his eyes, making him look pitifully at Su Pan’er.

But Su Pan’er had no sympathy for him.

"You don’t need to pretend to be so timid. There are no outsiders here, and you don’t need to put on a show for me. If you want to leave, let the servants escort you out. If you want to stay, just remember not to hang around in front of me unless necessary. So I don’t have to look at you and be reminded of your past! Understand?"

Little Feng nodded obediently without saying a word.

But as Su Pan’er had said, he really didn’t hang around in front of her anymore.

This amused Qin Yi who shook his head again and again, "You look after that kid and yet you scare him intentionally and make him misunderstand you."

"What’s intentional or not intentional? I always do things as I please."

Su Pan’er raised her head high, "And when have I ever cared for him? Can’t you see that he clearly wanted to leave, but for some reason decided to stay?"
