Chapter 1520 “Water Clan’s Young Lord (1)”
“Snowing, what’s the big deal about a man having a few lovers outside? Which successful man doesn’t have a few with them? Moreover, the young lord is not married and only has a son, that means the child’s birth mother isn’t fit to take center stage.”
The woman couldn’t refute the idea tempted her swaying heart as well. Speaking in a hesitant tone: “This… let’s ask our daughter’s opinion first. She hasn’t even married yet and is now going to be someone’s stepmother. I just find the idea difficult to accept.”
No matter how much she liked the thought of being the mother-in-law of the most powerful man in the Water Clan, she’s still a mother. As a mother, she undoubtedly wants the best for her own daughter.
Tian Wind didn’t say it aloud, but his thoughts weren’t the same as his own wife who showed what she was thinking along the face. Snowing is thinking too much. Being the wife of the young lord? That’s not possible. Perhaps a lover for him is more likely….
After their conversation, Snowing soon left the tea room and arrived at her own daughter Tian Fragrance’s room. Her hand hesitated when attempting to make a knock, but the hesitation couldn’t hold out against the temptation still.
A moment later, the door swung open and out came a girl with dreary eyes wearing a cartoon t-shirt. “Mom, do you need something, why are you coming so late?”
For this only daughter of hers, Snowing’s attitude only had warmth and kindness: “Fragrance, I came because I have something I want to discuss with you. Let me inside first.”
Doing as told, Fragrance moves to one side to let Snowing in but kept her confused look up the entire way. “Mom, what is so urgent that you can’t wait till morning?”
“Sit down first,” patting the chair so her daughter would sit with her, “you know your uncle is the steward of the Water Clan don’t you? What if I say me and your papa can help you get close to the young lord?”
When speaking up to this part, Snowing’s voice grew hesitant and paused for a breather because she knew her daughter’s temperament the best. Regarding something like arranged marriages, there’s no way this daughter would be willing and happy.
“What?!” Fragrance’s voice nearly shrieked at the suggestion. Jumping up and stomping her feet in protest, “You want me to marry that sick mule from the Water Clan?”
Going white in the face after her daughter’s outburst, Snowing immediately jumped up to cusp the careless girl’s mouth so she would stop talking: “Don’t speak like that, you know how our Tian Clan is heavily relying on the Water Clan! If anyone hears of what you said then not even your uncle can save us!”
“I’m not making up stuff, everyone knows how sick that person is. After he fell into a coma eight years ago, the guy had a huge change in his temperament and would lash out at everyone. And it’s not like you don’t know either Mom, no one has seen him step out of the Water Clan’s estate! Why would you want me to marry someone that’s terminally ill? I don’t want to be a widow right away!”
Unlike her parents, Tian Fragrance wants to pursue happiness in her life like any young lady of her age. Marrying a sickly boy that’s perhaps at the death’s gate, who would want to?
“Sweetie,” Snowing sighs at the answer, “we aren’t certain on the young lord’s condition, that’s only a rumor. How about you make the decision after meeting the young man first?”
Truth was despite her older brother being the steward of the Water Clan, no one really knows the real health of the young lord mentioned here. Sure, the members of that family may know, but none would be stupid enough to spread it out into the public, especially after the supposed temperamental change after coming out of the coma.
