Chapter 40: The Stone of Ascension
But Jing Yue was just a businessman. Even if he had the money, his status was the lowest in the Wei Kingdom, and would always be the small fish in the pond.
Jing Yue was unwilling to yield and refused to bow down to fate.
He did many things in private, met many people, and waited patiently like a beast eyeing its prey, waiting for an opportunity that would allow him to get what he wanted.
But he never expected that this opportunity would appear in this way.
One day, a distinguished guest entered the teahouse.
The other party was the Lady Marquis of the Wuhou^ Manor. She found Jing Yue and told him that he was the young master who had been missing for many years from the Wuhou Manor, and she was his mother.
(TN: Wuhou 武侯 = Martial Marquis)Lady Shen’s makeup was completely ruined by her crying. She felt so guilty that she wanted to kneel to Jing Yue, telling him sadly how she blamed herself after the accident.
It turned out that 19 years ago, Lord Wuhou, Jing Wen, was only a rank-7 official. Because of the frequent occurrence of banditry in the area where he was located, Jing Wen had been fighting bandits outside all year round and rarely returned home, so his wife had to take care of all matters at home.
Perhaps because she worked too hard, Lady Shen encountered difficulty during childbirth. Although she successfully gave birth to a baby boy, she suffered a serious illness and could no longer have children.
