Chapter 749: A Request_1
"Young Master Yu, I know you have grievances in your heart, but you must understand your mother. When she escaped from the Cloud Ocean Cage, she broke the tribal rules. According to these rules, she could be sentenced to death." said the old woman with grey eyes.
"What kind of damn tribal rules... the thing I hate most are these stupid rules." Su Chengyu retorted disdainfully.
"Every nation has its laws; every family has its rules. The Cloud Tribe is an ancient clan that has been passed down for thousands of years. If it weren’t for strict tribal rules, wouldn’t it have descended into chaos long ago?" argued the old woman with grey eyes.
Su Chengyu had always scoffed at these rules of the prominent clans and didn’t want to go into a lengthy discussion, so he asked: "And then?"
"Your mother returned to the Cloud Tribe with a determination to die, so she confessed her guilt without uttering another word. Later, the Chief of the Yu Clan personally came to propose marriage for his son. Among the nine ancient clans, the Yu Clan is superior to the Cloud Tribe. They also offered very generous marriage terms. So, our chief accepted it, spared her from execution under tribal laws, and married her off to the Yu Clan."
Su Chengyu frowned: "Did my mother not object? If she was set on dying, she wouldn’t agree to this marriage arrangement so easily, right?"
"Your mother has a strong personality and was devoted to your father. Initially, she refused to agree and preferred death. But after meeting Yu Dingzhi, somehow, he managed to persuade her, and she agreed. Thus, the Cloud Tribe and the Yu Clan formed an alliance through marriage. She married Yu Dingzhi, and I accompanied her to the Yu Clan." said the old woman with grey eyes.
Su Chengyu sneered slightly, "Devoted? If she was truly devoted, why did she leave my father and abandon me before I was even a year old? Then she turned around and married someone else, even had another son. Perhaps she thought I was a failure, unworthy of being her son, so she wanted to have another one!"
"Young Master Feng, you must not think like that. I do not know the specific details of the events back then, and your mother never speaks of it. But I know her—she was willing to die for your father, defying her tribe’s laws. If that’s not true love, then what is?
