Chapter 2: Deep Mother and Son Relationship

  Missing his mother, he couldn't sit still for a moment in the summer, hastily got up and walked out in big strides to see if his mother was all right.

  If you are well, it is a sunny day. After thousands of years of cultivation, from an ordinary mortal to becoming the master of the Hall of All Saints, this process was not smooth sailing either. The hardships and coldness in between can only be known by oneself.

  Every time he encounters difficulties, dangers, and unsolvable problems, Xia Tian always thinks of his mother, recalling the gentle gaze she looked at him with, and his heart would surge with endless determination.

  "Master Hou, you're awake."

  As soon as I opened the door and walked out in summer, a voice full of surprise immediately rang in my ears.

  Turning her head, a beautiful woman in female attire, bright and lovely, entered her line of sight, giving Xia Tian a familiar feeling.

  "You are warmth and fragrance."

  Hesitating for a moment, Xia Tian said in a low voice.

  "Yes, I am Nuan Xiang, Master Hou, what's wrong with you?"

  A look of confusion and a hint of fear appeared on her face, and Nuan Xiang hastily asked.

  "I'm fine, by the way, how's mother?"

  A warmth in her heart, she shook her head, and Xia Tian smiled slightly, changing the subject.

  Nuan Xiang was Nangong's personal maid in the summer, growing up with him since childhood. To call her a maid would be inaccurate; it would be more fitting to say she was his mother's choice for his future wife.

  During that disaster in front of the Wang Mansion, Nuan Xiang also didn't escape, and was stabbed once at Caishi Kou in the Imperial City, disappearing like a fleeting fragrance.

  In fact, the entire Wang Fu, except for the summer because of some reason escaped death, almost everyone else died.

  "Ah, right, Master Hou is awake, I'll go tell Princess Wang the good news."

  Nuan Xiang let out a loud cry and turned around, running away with a "thud thud thud" sound.

  Walking along the long corridor, Xia Tian's footsteps were neither fast nor slow, closely following behind Nuan Xiang. After turning a corner ahead, a small and exquisite pavilion came into view.

  "Your Highness, Your Highness, what a wonderful thing! The Marquis has awakened."

  As soon as they arrived at the attic, Nuan Xiang suddenly shouted loudly.

  "What! Little Tian is awake!"

  As a slender figure rushed out of the attic, a melodious voice like silver bells rang out, and in that voice, there was a reassuring power.

  "Little heaven!"

  Seeing Xia Tian standing in front of her, Wang Su Ya's eyes were misty with tears. She quickly descended the stairs at a speed that was unbecoming of herself and rushed to Xia Tian's side.

  A pair of hands as white as jade searched up and down on Xia Tian's body, probing while anxiously asking: "Xiao Tian, are you okay? Is there anywhere that still feels uncomfortable?"

  Feeling Wang Su Ya's concern and that strong family affection, Xia Tian's heart was filled with warmth, like being surrounded by a warm stove, from the inside out.

  "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine."

  A smile rose from her heart, and Xia Tian said with some embarrassment.

  Although it was his own mother, Xia Tian still felt a bit uncomfortable and embarrassed by Wang Su Ya's constant touching.

  Nowadays summer is no longer the same as before, he has come back from ten thousand years later, perhaps in the past he was very used to Wang Su Ya's kind of intimacy, but now it's different.

  "Oh, little Tian has grown up and knows how to be shy now."

  Wang Su Ya noticed the resistance of summer, but she only felt a slight difference and didn't think much about it, just smiling and teasing him.

  "That's natural, Master Hou has grown up and knows what he wants in a woman."

  Nuan Xiang said with a smile beside him.

  As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Su Ya's face sank and her eyes became sharp in an instant. She lightly swept a glance at Nuan Xiang, but it made her tremble with fear.

  Don't look at Wang Su as a mediocre and weak woman. Once she becomes serious, she is quite powerful and makes people's hearts tremble.

  With a stern face and big, round eyes staring at Xia Tian, Wang Su Ya said seriously: "Xiao Tian, I'm not one to lecture you, but for the sake of a courtesan, you actually got into a dispute with your second brother and even resorted to violence. This matter, you not only did wrong, but also went overboard."

  "The princess, this matter can't be blamed entirely on the marquis. As the marquis's second brother, the duke actually used such a heavy hand and knocked the marquis unconscious, clearly using lethal force."

  Xiatian hadn't even spoken up for himself yet, but Nuanxiang had already opened his mouth to speak on his behalf.

  "Nuan Xiang, don't talk nonsense, Master's affairs are also something you can comment on."

  Scolded Nuan Xiang with a sentence, Wang Su Ya seemed to be very angry, the bright light in her eyes dimmed slightly.

  The two of them said that, and Xia Tian suddenly remembered that yesterday, because of a courtesan, he had a conflict with Xia Yongfang and was knocked unconscious.

  The memories of the two merged, and as for the cause and effect of things, Xia Tian was very clear that it wasn't about fighting over that courtesan, but rather Xia Yongfang's words had insulted Wang Suyan.

  Wang Su Ya was originally from a brothel and was the number one dan (female role) in the brothel, known for her unparalleled talent. She had a great reputation in the pleasure quarters, with performance fees reaching hundreds of taels of silver at a time.

  Xiatian's father, Xia Wudang, was infatuated with Wang Su Ya's beauty and forcibly took her back, conferring upon her the position of a secondary wife.

  In the harem of the palace, the position of concubine is second only to that of the queen. In theory, Wang Su Ya's status in the palace should not be low, but in fact, it was completely different.

  At that time, Xia Wutang married Wang Su Ya, perhaps he was deeply infatuated with her, and in order to seal her as a side concubine, he put in a lot of effort.

  A courtesan was made a concubine, which was not acceptable according to the traditional rituals and teachings of the imperial family, causing opposition from many people. However, Xia Wutang insisted on his own way and eventually succeeded in doing so.

  Because of this, many people have ill intentions towards Wang Su Ya, especially the concubines in the palace, who come from good families and feel ashamed to be on equal terms with Wang Su Ya.

  Xia Wutang is not a sentimental person. After the freshness of Wang Su Ya wore off, he became much colder towards her, and thus her situation became even more difficult.

  Other concubines harbored malicious intentions towards Wang Su, and some officials in the palace, even servants, looked down on her humble origins. In the palace, she was a completely isolated person.

  Wang Su-ya was treated like this, and it can be imagined that Xia Tian's treatment would not be any better, always being bullied.

  "Mother, I know, don't worry, I won't cause any more trouble from now on."

  Natsu replied obediently.

  In previous summers, I might have been indignant and argued with Wang Su Ya for a while, pouring out all my grievances. But now it's different.

  After a thousand years, summer returns with an unyielding will, unaffected by all the glories and hardships, able to face everything with ease.

  Moreover, Xia Tian knew that Wang Su Ya didn't allow herself to conflict with Xia Yong Fang again, not because she was biased towards Xia Yong Fang, but because she was afraid of losing out. The profound meaning behind this, he understood crystal clear.

  In the summer, he had absolute confidence and was able to repay kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge. In the Wang Fu, everyone's humiliation of his mother and son, he remembered clearly, and in the future, he would definitely find it back one by one.
