NovelEnglishChapter 113: Su Niang
Although Kong Rui had already expected Tong Sheng’s mother to be a beautiful woman, this woman’s appearance still surprised her.
“Are you Tong Sheng’s mother?” Kong Rui confirmed.
“Yes! I’m Tong Sheng’s mother. My name is Su Niang.” Su Niang’s voice sounded delicate, and she didn’t sound like a woman who did heavy labor like doing laundry.
After confirming the other party’s identity, Kong Rui called Tong Sheng out of the room.
As soon as Tong Sheng saw his mother, he immediately rushed into her arms.
When Su Niang saw that Tong Sheng was safe and sound, she froze for a moment before her eyes immediately became filled with tears.
“Tong Sheng, I’m so glad that you’re fine! ” Su Niang called out excitedly.

Seeing Tong Sheng and his mother cry in each other’s arms, Kong Rui sighed softly. She hadn’t worked so hard for nothing.
Su Niang pulled Tong Sheng and they both knelt in front of Kong Rui and Chao Bai. Ignoring Kong Rui’s obstruction, she kowtowed to the two of them before getting up.
After they finally calmed down, Kong Rui said to Su Niang, “I have something to ask you. Please tell me the truth.”
Su Niang nodded and said to Kong Rui, “Benefactor, please just ask. I’ll definitely tell you everything I know.”
Kong Rui turned to look at Chao Bai.
Although Chao Bai was unwilling, he still grabbed Tong Sheng’s hand and said, “Let’s go! Let’s go back to the room and let them talk.”
Tong Sheng turned around and glanced at his mother. Seeing Su Niang nod at him, he left with Chao Bai obediently.
After watching Tong Sheng leave, Kong Rui asked, “Was the previous owner of Fragrant Garden Zi Xuan of High Heaven Pavilion?”
Su Niang nodded. “That’s right! A few years ago, Fragrant Garden was originally an asset of the Li family, but it was later taken over by Pavilion Master Zi Xuan.”
“Fragrant Garden used to belong to the Li family?” Kong Rui looked at Su Niang in surprise.
Su Niang replied softly, “Yes!”
Kong Rui frowned. She didn’t expect the Li family to have such dealings beneath the surface.
Seeing that Kong Rui’s expression wasn’t pleasant, Su Niang immediately explained, “Ever since Pavilion Master Zi Xuan took control of Fragrant Garden, I’ve never seen the Li family come here again.”
Was it to disassociate themselves from her to avoid suspicion?
The Li family was really quite cautious!
When Kong Rui heard Su Niang’s words, she found out that ever since Zi Xuan took control of Fragrant Garden, she would bring men to stay in the master’s suite from time to time.
The master’s suite wasn’t far from Kong Rui’s room. It was a two-story building.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe maidservants of Fragrant Garden had discussed it in private. They had only seen Zi Xuan bring people in, but no one had ever come out. This strange situation even made the maidservants suspect that Zi Xuan was cannibalistic.
However, the maidservant in charge of cleaning Zi Xuan’s room said with certainty that Zi Xuan’s private life was just a little messy. She hadn’t have reached the stage of bloodthirsty killing.
However, this time, everyone in Fragrant Garden was surprised that Zi Xuan had caught Tong Sheng.
At this point, Su Niang thanked Kong Rui sincerely again. “Tong Sheng is my only family now. I can’t live without him.”
When she heard Su Niang’s words, Kong Rui’s heart ached and she shook her head gently. “It’s better not to let Tong Sheng come here in the future. After all, this place…”
Kong Rui didn’t continue, but Su Niang knew what Kong Rui meant. She sighed helplessly. “I didn’t want to bring him to such a place either. It’s just that… I was originally the daughter of a wealthy family. Now that something has happened to the head of the family, their family wanted to take Tong Sheng away. I had no choice but to bring him along with me wherever I went.”
“Then doesn’t their family know that something happened to Tong Sheng?” Kong Rui was a little puzzled.
If it was really a wealthy family in the capital, how could they not have received the news?
Su Niang shook her head. “Tong Sheng was originally hidden very well by the Patriarch. He said that there was a person in the family… who didn’t allow Tong Sheng to exist. Therefore, the people in the family didn’t know about Tong Sheng’s situation. Moreover, someone said that Tong Sheng was a remnant of the Demon Clan, so those people couldn’t have expected that something had happened to Tong Sheng. Fortunately, thanks to you two, Tong Sheng is safe and sound.”
Hearing Su Niang’s words, Kong Rui felt Su Niang’s helplessness as a mother.
She wondered what kind of family had forced the mother and son into such a situation.
