Chapter 554: Visiting the Lotus Family

d. It was only because we ran so hard that their venom took hold faster. They probably hadn't realized they'd been bitten by snakes yet, which is why they fainted on their horses.These horses were ow...The Lian family hadn't expected that, after so many years since Lotus had passed away, someone from the Roman family would come to their home, especially since this person was Lotus's son and the young master of the Roman family. This left them feeling at a loss.

The head of the household, Lian Sheng, was about the same age as Connor Rodman, but he looked much older. After receiving a notice from the guard, he went to the reception hall ahead of time.

Lian Si's parents, upon hearing the news, rushed to the living room. They wanted to meet their grandson.

When the lotus people saw Lian Rodman striding confidently and calmly into their view, their expressions were somewhat dazed.

Lien had a pair of violet eyes. Her black hair and handsome features were inherited from her mother, resembling the deceased Lien Si by five points. However, their temperament was completely different; Lien was resolute and noble.

Liàn Yī didn't want to lose her momentum, so before coming to Lián's house, she dressed up specially. The white robe with purple and gold patterns accentuated her tall and straight figure. The spatial belt around her waist was also a high-grade storage space. Her long black hair was tied up high with a golden headband bearing the family crest, clean, sharp, and elegant.

The ripples swept around, confirming that these people were the original's relatives. This would do for a courtesy call, he said softly:

"I'm Lian Roedman, and I apologize for the impromptu visit."

"Mr. Lian is here visiting, what's the matter"

Lian Sheng said softly.

Ripple glanced at the other person, who was a high-ranking mage and the head of the household. She didn't take him seriously though, and after seating herself, she spoke:

"I came to Dong Continent with my friends for an adventure. Knowing that my mother's family is here, I decided to drop by and visit them. There are some things I want to ask the head of the family."

The ripples of their actions made it clear to the Lian people that the other party was not trying to reconnect with them, but only wanted to ask questions. And the only thing that could lead someone to come to them seeking information was Lian Si's matter, after all, she was her biological mother.

Lian Sheng sighed inwardly, but still politely said:

"I don't know what Young Master Lian wants to ask"

I would like to ask about my mother, Liansi. The wet nurse doesn't know much, so I think it's best to ask you directly.

R ripples said softly.

At this moment, she could clearly feel that the original soul, which had always been in a state of slumber, seemed to be showing signs of awakening. However, because the soul without ripples was incredibly powerful, it was completely incapable of wresting control of the body back from it.

Ripple raised an eyebrow, teasing the other's hearing, then continued,

"Hearing the wet nurse's words, could it be true that mother had a childhood sweetheart before marrying into the Rhodemans"

Lian Sheng didn't expect the other party to ask so directly. After a brief pause, he said:

"Yes."

"For the sake of the family's interests, did you force my mother and her childhood sweetheart to break up"

“That’s not the case. Although family interests come first, we wouldn’t force Lian Si. It’s just that she didn’t have a betrothal at the time, and we thought having one more option would be good. Besides, entering into a marriage contract with the Rhodenman family of the West Continent would also be beneficial for Lian Si.”

We told Liansi, but she refused at the time. We were about to politely decline your father, but your mother suddenly found the former homeowner and said she was willing to marry your father.

We found it strange and asked her the reason, explaining that we didn't need her to sacrifice her feelings for the family. But she insisted that her relationship with Tang Ning had broken down and she didn't want to stay in Dong Continent anymore, so she agreed to marry into the Rhodes family to start anew.

"Haven't you investigated the cause"

“Investigation confirmed that the problem was with Tangning. She got involved with a young lady from a small family on the Eastern Continent, and they had a physical relationship. They were caught by Liansi, so she agreed to marry into the Rhodemans out of heartbreak and disappointment.”

“But the wet nurse said my mother wasn't willing. Except on their wedding night, she never slept with my father again. My father, knowing she had someone else in her heart, promised her that as long as she gave birth to me safely, he would set her free. It’s just that my mother didn’t live to see that day because of Tonning’s death, I was born prematurely, and my mother died of depression.”

The ripple voice said coldly.

There must be a misunderstanding here! After your mother married into the Rhoden family, Tonning was dumped by that family's young lady. He somehow got in touch with your mother and told Liansi that he was tricked by us, so he started a relationship with that young lady, all to force her into marrying into the Rhoden family.

Your mother believed Tangning's words and completely severed ties with the family. She thinks we ruined her happiness and wouldn't listen to our explanations at all.

When your mother married into the Rhodemans eight months ago, Tanning died while hunting a monster. When the news reached us, the Liens were relieved because we hated that despicable wretch who exploited Lian Si's feelings. We only tolerated him again and again out of respect for Lian Si.

If Liansi knew we killed Tangning, she would probably hate us even more. We were thinking of going to the Western Continent after you are born and explaining everything to Liansi in person.

But we weren't able to wait for you to be born full term. Lian Si gave birth to you shortly before she passed away, and your father wasn't very welcoming to us either. The only connection was severed, and since you were just an infant, our ties with the Rhoden family were also broken.

Lian Sheng's narration was plain, but the ripples of helplessness within it were clearly audible.

Ripples, after hearing Lian Sheng's account, pondered for a moment and felt that what the other party said should be true. As for whether Tang Ning was truly plotted against or if he took the initiative to climb up to other family's young ladies and was abandoned afterward, only the person involved knew. It remains to be investigated.

"Tangning was murdered by my half-brother Emilio's maternal family, the Kennedys. Emilio was responsible for my mother having a premature birth, and in his anger, our father stripped him of his right to inherit the family fortune."

The Kenny family, infuriated, took their anger out on their mother. After killing Tonning, they sent his head to her as a gruesome gift. My premature birth had weakened our mother's health, and in her rage and grief, she mistakenly believed it was our father who had done it. You all remained silent, so she, heartbroken beyond measure, succumbed to depression and died.

The ripples explained what the lotus family didn't know, clearing up the whole story.

" Lian Si, my poor daughter!"

An elderly woman in the living room wept softly.

"We don't know about any of that. Your father didn't say anything. After attending your mother's funeral, we returned to the Eastern Continent."

Lian Sheng rubbed his temples, not expecting that his sister's death had so many hidden secrets.

"My mother's death, it can't be said that anyone was right or wrong, it's just how fate unfolded. I came here to try and unravel the mystery in my own heart, nothing more."

After Ripple finished speaking, she got up and prepared to say goodbye.

"Master Roedman, if you're not in a hurry, would you like to stay at the Lotus Residence for the night I still have some of your mother's belongings here, and I'd like to give them to you on this occasion."

Lian Sheng out a voice and invited.

"Great!"so used memory crystals to record everything. This clearly shows that he wants to take credit and build his reputation! Even when I'm not around, he can cause me trouble!”Emilio slammed the wine glas...
