GRAND MARSHAL PAMPERED WIFE

Relaxing on a rocking bench covered with thick brown animal fur, Su Yanjiu closed his eyes remembering the past with the woman he loved. This sixty years old man has only ever loved one woman. A gentle and kind woman, who was forced to become a spy just because she was born as a servant in the Su Clan. If only in the past this man was more ambitious for power and not only concerned with increasing his knowledge, maybe he could be elected as the Patriarch of the Su Clan and could make that kind woman as his legal wife.

Remembering how Shun Qing's sweet smile made him continue to diligently add knowledge because she liked his intelligence, Su Yanjiu couldn't stop studying. He never realized that this woman was always trying to distract him from her bitter life story as a low grade-servant.

Su Yanjiu met Shun Qing when he was six years old and had just studied under a tutor who was called by his parents. At that time, Su Yanjiu felt that his parents sent incompetent tutors because what the tutor taught was what he had already learned.

Su Yanjiu never realized at that time that his young self could remember all the books he had read in the Su Clan public library. He could absorb all the knowledge he had read just once. Because of that, he felt that the tutor was boring because he taught him all the basics even though he had read all the books taught in the public library. Su Yanjiu was never taught martial arts by his father because the father did not want his two sons to fight in martial arts so his father only taught his first son; Su Lingdao. Su Yanjiu's father thought that as older brother Su Lingdao could protect his younger sibling so that he thought that it's enough for his first child able to learn martial arts. Su Yanjiu's father would not have thought that his first child would be jealous of Su Yanjiu's intelligence and would hate his own brother.

Taking a deep breath, this man who now feels that he is old feels sorry for the decision he made by following the advice of his parents who did not allow him to learn martial arts so that he could only see the woman he loved being killed in front of him. If only he had chosen to learn martial arts too, maybe he could protect Shun Qing and prevent him from sacrificing himself for the safety of himself and Su Gaishan. Let himself be bound together using a blood contract with Shun Qing.

"Father-"

The voice of a young woman shaking Su Yanjiu's shoulder softly caused this old man to wake up from his past reverie.

Wei Lengyan's scolding voice; Su Yanjiu's legal wife came from behind her daughter. The stern-faced old woman looked at her husband's children who were unwittingly gathered at their residence. It was rare for all of them to gather this early in Su Yanjiu's courtyard after they were all married and owned their own courtyards within the Su Clan Manor.

"Mother"

"Second Mother"

The voice of her husband's children's calls made this stiff and fierce old woman nodded slowly.

"Xiao Gai, why are you all gathered here so early?" Wei Lengyan asked softly to her husband's oldest child.

Wei Lengyan is Su Yanjiu's legal wife, not many people know that this old woman is Su Gaishan's biological mother's best friend. This woman was also the one who often helped Su Yanjiu meet Shun Qing. Su Yanjiu is Wei Lengyan's childhood friend with Shun Qing. When Shun Qing became pregnant with Su Gaishan, to look after her friend, she insisted to propose an engagement to Su Yanjiu and moved to the Su Clan despite her family's prohibition. To Wei Lengyan, Shun Qing was like her own younger sister.

Wei Lengyan is the daughter of the previous Patriarch Wei noble family. When her father died, Wei Lengyan was taken care of by her paternal uncle. Not wanting to trouble her uncle's family, this woman tried to be independent and tried to quickly become a Heaven Level expert. While practicing in the forest, she was seriously injured when she was fourteen years old and met the ten years old Shun Qing collecting firewood at the edge of the forest. Shun Qing sacrificed all of her savings to send her to the doctor. Shun Qing's kindness in sacrificing all of her money and food rations for her recovery made this woman feel cared for. They both make vows to become sisters. Since then, they have looked after each other.

When Shun Qing died, Wei Lengyan had hated Su Yanjiu, but to raise Shun Qing's son, this woman insisted to marry Su Yanjiu as soon as possible. After several years of marriage to this man, this woman learned the truth about her good sister's death cause. She also hated Su Lingdao and the elders who forced Shun Qing to take her own life. Her three children were born because of drunk accidents with Su Yanjiu while remembering Shun Qing. Despite having children with Su Yanjiu, Wei Lengyan was never once able to like a man who had become her husband as a man, so they lived together just like friends who licked each other's wounds.

"Second Mother, this one has something to discuss together."

"What do you want to talk about? Why do you guys look so serious like that? " Wei Lengyan looked curious watching the expressions of all of her husband's children who looked so serious and nervous.
