Chapter 215: Powerful Aura

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Being lectured by Lin Nan, the Old Marquis felt his cheeks burn as he struggled to find his voice. His self-blame still clung to him like a heavy shroud.

His mind retraced the days when his son and grandchildren had endured a life of poverty. Then his thoughts s.h.i.+fted to his wife, the woman he had always cherished, who had kept the existence of their grandchildren a secret, even before he had discovered them. Instead, she had orchestrated Su Bin’s involvement through a third party.

With the Lin Family’s backing, Su Bin and his family no longer saw a reason to reside in the Marquis Mansion unless he dealt with Madame Qiao decisively.

But his dilemma concerning the heir of the Marquis Mansion lingered heavily.

In his conversation with Su Bin, Lin Nan had also conveyed his support for their endeavors.

Furthermore, Lin Nan pledged to unearth the truth, spanning more than two decades, and deliver justice for his late aunt, the rightful heir, and Su Bin alike.

Throughout this tumultuous exchange, the t.i.tle of “grandpa” never graced the Old Marquis’s ears.

As a marquis, maintaining his composure was paramount. Yet, he allowed himself the vulnerability of shedding tears, though the word “grandpa” remained elusive.

A potent mix of remorse and disillusionment consumed him.

He had woefully underestimated Lin Nan’s audacity.

He had egregiously misjudged Su Bin’s magnetic influence, evidenced by his siblings’ unwavering obedience.

Recognizing that their loyalty to Su Bin stemmed from Qin Zhenzhen, the Old Marquis comprehended the pivotal role she had played in s.h.i.+elding them from dest.i.tution and rekindling their aspirations, a debt that bound them to her.

A convoy of four wagons, escorted by a contingent of twelve guards, departed from Qian Village.

In short order, the entire tale spread throughout the village, sparking a flurry of conversations among its inhabitants.

“It’s astounding to think that Su Ting is the rightful heir of the Marquis Mansion!”

“He chose to flee rather than face his father due to some dispute. Preferring a dest.i.tute life in the rural expanse over admitting a mistake.”

“It’s likely more complex. Su Ting wouldn’t have fabricated a story about all his kin in the capital being deceased if it were merely a minor squabble.”

“True, we mustn’t air our internal issues for all to see. Preserving our dignity is essential. ”

“I believe a significant event must have transpired then, driving a wedge between Su Ting and his father.”

“Indeed, had it been a trifling misunderstanding, Su Bin and the others would have accompanied the Old Marquis to the city.”

“When the Old Marquis emerged, his eyes were bloodshot. Evidently, he had wept. Su Bin wore an icy expression. My guess is that Su Bin’s actions prompted the Old Marquis’s tears!”

“I share that sentiment – it’s likely Su Bin who moved him to tears! That lad, Su

Bin, has a gaze that can cut deeper than any blade.”

“Haha, that’s what they call having a commanding presence!”

“But they haven’t outright refused the idea. I casually asked Su Cheng when they were planning to head to the capital for a taste of the good life, and he mentioned they’d go there eventually.”

“Which is why they’re bound for the capital sooner or later.”

“Prosperity and grandeur – nothing can stand in their way!”

Upon comprehending the situation, Qian Shanmin found himself particularly perturbed.

He hadn’t antic.i.p.ated Su Lan ascending to the position of the Lady of the Marquis Mansion.

He had envisaged offering his well-wishes to Su Lan, envisaging a tranquil life for her.

Yet, the reality had delivered an agonizing blow. The idea of losing Su Lan permanently tore at his heart like a knife.

Still, he refused to implore Su Lan to remain.

He lacked the means to bestow riches upon her, so what right did he possess to detain her?

Learning that Su Bin and his family were of Marquis Mansion lineage left Qian Dashan and his kin grappling with profound remorse.

Had they recognized their n.o.ble heritage, they would never have subjected them to mistreatment..
