Chapter 509: Mother And Father’s Past

Looking at his daughter’s face, so similar to Lihua’s, Lu Hetian could not resist stroking her hair. “Alright, I promise to give you away in high spirits tomorrow.”

Lu Liangwei was relieved to hear this and nodded heavily. “Alright.”

Lu Hetian patted her head fondly.

Lu Liangwei did not hurry back to Dusklight Court but went to Longevity Hall to see the Dowager Duchess instead.

“You’re getting married tomorrow. Why do you still come over to my place?” the Dowager Duchess scolded her.

Lu Liangwei sat down next to her and said straightforwardly, “Grandmother, I want to know what happened between Dad and Mom.”

The Dowager Duchess sighed. “I knew you must have come for this.”

Lu Liangwei shook her arm. “Just tell me, Grandmother. It’s really uncomfortable to see Daddy like that.”

She could actually guess vaguely, seeing the way her father acted in front of her mother.

Her father, who had always been dignified and wise, was clearly behaving submissively in front of her mother.

For a usually daring and vigorous man to be so humble before his wife, it was needless to say that he must have done something to betray her mother’s trust.

“Oh well, you’re already grown up. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to tell you,” the Dowager Duchess finally said.

Hearing this, Lu Liangwei hurriedly fixed her posture and perked up her ears.

“Back then, your father…”

…

After returning from Longevity Hall, Lu Liangwei sat in front of her dressing table, mulling over her parents’ story in silence.

According to Grandmother, Father loved Mother deeply.

Moreover, Father doted on Mother a lot, and Mother’s personality was not like this back then.

Mother used to be a lively and kind-hearted person. Although she roamed the martial world, she had never taken lives and many people were, in fact, indebted to her.

Among them was Madam Zheng, whom Mother had rescued.

Many years ago, Madam Zheng’s family saw their fortune decline. She was originally about to be sold to a brothel, but Mother rescued her and regarded her as a younger sister.

However, Father got drunk one day and had an affair with Madam Zheng.

Father understood Mother’s personality well, so he kept the truth a secret.

One day, when Mother was in postpartum confinement after giving birth to Lu Liangwei, Madam Zheng arrived on their doorstep with a child. She told Mother that it was Father’s child and begged Mother to take the child as hers, while she herself did not need any title.

The incident dealt Mother a devastating blow.

According to Grandmother, Mother was so angry that she even vomited blood and fainted.

After Father learned about it, he wanted to beat Madam Zheng to death, but Mother woke up just in time to stop him. She even asked him to take Madam Zheng as his secondary wife and recognize the child as his.

According to Grandmother, Mother looked calm at that time, but she was actually full of hatred for Father.

She arranged everything in an orderly manner, and one day, she left without Father noticing.

When Father finally knew about it, he went after her like a madman only to see her run to the cliff and jump off right in front of his eyes.

Then, Father went to the bottom of the cliff to look for her. Thinking that she had been eaten by a beast, he killed every single beast down there, and by the time Grandmother finally found him, he was already half-dead.

At that time, Grandmother had used coercive means to bring him back.

Lu Liangwei knew that this was Mother’s revenge on Father.

She faked her death and ran away, dealing Father a fatal blow.

Lu Liangwei’s head suddenly ached.

Mother had left for more than ten years. If she, Lu Liangwei, were not getting married, she would probably not have returned at all.

Her resolution showed that her hatred for Father had not faded over time.
