“Later… The old fellow from that Qin family always came to bother me. He pursued me when he was young. But, in the end, I chose my husband. He was dissatisfied. He came to make trouble in the Luo family even when my husband had not been dead for over seven days. So, I used some tricks and… killed him at last. He managed to cripple my cultivation before he died too.”
The old lady did not mention what tricks she had used.
But, one could guess that it must be a woman’s beauty.
Old Lady Luo sighed. “Our lives became much better when Gu Shi killed the previous Tian Shen Manor Master and became a manor master himself. We no longer endured the various pressure and intimidation. But, our Luo family still owes Tian Ya too much…”
Feng Ruqing was speechless.
He had killed the previous manor master and replaced him as the previous master.
It seemed that Gu Shi was a powerful person.
“You said that I resemble your old friend. Are we much alike?” Feng Ruqing asked after some silence.
“Yes, you look too much like him. That’s why I couldn’t help but tell you about this. I hope that you won’t mind. Take is as an old woman’s ramble as it’s been a long time since I spoke about my past to the others and I cannot hold it back anymore.”
The old lady laughed.
Her husband had sworn to be his brother. But, his ident.i.ty was too special and he had killed someone from the reclusive world even before that battle.
Even though he did not kill many of them but it still enraged many people. He offended quite a number of people at that time. Hence, he had always kept his ident.i.ty a secret to prevent his family from being harmed by others.
That’s why they have never met his family.
They just knew that he had a son just like him.
They had even joked about it at that time. If their grandchildren were to be a boy and a girl, they could be in-laws.

Thinking about it, Tian Ya’s son should be married by now. He might have had a child. She just didn’t know whether it’s a boy or a girl.
“Then, could you please tell me who your old friend is?” Feng Ruqing raised her eyes and looked at the old lady and asked.
The old lady shook her head. “I promised him that I’ll never talk about it in my life. It’s a secret I’ll keep with me for the rest of my life. I’ll never speak of it even if I’m going to die. Young lady, it doesn’t mean that I don’t trust you. It’s just that I’ve promised him never to speak of it and I must keep my promise.”
Feng Ruqing breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled happily.
“If you’re unwilling to talk about it, I’ll not ask any more questions.”
If she was unwilling to talk about it, she would not force her.
She could not force her to become a person who doesn’t keep her promises.
She was just suspicious about that old friend she talked about. But, she could still look it up through other means.
“I’ll give you the prescription of the spirit herbal dish later. All you have to do is follow the prescription step-by-step to brew the spirit herbal dish. You’ll be cured in less than a month. If you’re healing faster, you’ll be cured in half a month.”
“Thank you so much, young lady.” The old lady laughed. “It’s Xiao Li’er’s honor to be able to become your friend. Young lady, are you married?”
All of a sudden, Luo Li’s eyes widened as she turned to look at the old lady. She asked, with dissatisfaction, “Grandmother, don’t tell me you’re trying to make Xiao Qing my stepmother. How can my father deserve her?”
“Nonsense! You know how terrible your father is. How can he deserve her? Moreover, Xiao Qing is young and beautiful. Your dad is just an old man. What right does he have to be with a young girl?” The old lady turned to look at Feng Ruqing again. “Xiao Qing’er, I have a few nephews. Do you want to consider it?”
Feng Ruqing’s face darkened. “I already have someone I love.”
“Oh, it’s a pity…” The old lady sighed. “But, it’s fine. I have a lot of nephews. If you find that you no longer like him, just inform me. I’ll gather my nephews for you to pick. You can pick whomever you like.”
Feng Ruqing was speechless.
