Chapter 246 Except for Wushan, there are no other clouds.

The head of the Wei family was unable to calm down for a long time. She sat in the chair, her fingers gripping the chair tightly.

It seems like they are trying to process some of the news.

After processing the news, she even felt a secret sense of regret.

Wei Jinmo remained silent. Only he knew what he had missed back then, and he would have to bear the consequences himself.

Every time I think about it, I feel an indescribable sadness in my heart.

He even felt a sense of paleness and powerlessness; he didn't know what to say or what he could say about Su Muyao.

His good upbringing from a young age taught him to control his emotions and to be a qualified heir to the Wei family.

Even if I feel terrible, my heart aches, and I regret it, I will not show my emotions.

The Wei family head looked at his noble and perfect son, who was self-disciplined, upright, and elegant. He was praised by everyone in the entire Dongning Beast Kingdom. Etiquette, manners and cultivation were ingrained in his bones, and no one could find any fault with him.

He is usually reserved and his emotions are hard to guess.

But as a mother, how could she not see the unusual tone in his voice? When Su Muyao was mentioned, his emotions clearly fluctuated.

Looking at the trace of sorrow in his son's eyes, the head of the Wei family suddenly felt guilty towards his son.

He was like his father, loyal and devoted, and of the kind of person who would not be interested in anything else but a woman. Once he fell in love with a woman, he would never change his mind.

The Wei family head sighed and slowly began to speak: "A few days ago, something happened on the day Su Muyao returned to Beast Emperor City. That day also happened to be the day Jiang Mochuan married Liu Mengyan. It is said that Jiang Mochuan's most trusted subordinate attacked Su Muyao, but was utterly defeated by her..."

The head of the Wei family slowly recounted what had happened that day.

Wei Jinmo had already heard about it; his subordinates would tell him everything about her, down to the smallest detail.

He was willing to listen to her story, no matter how many times it was repeated.

It was as if his pale and boring life had suddenly gained a splash of color, a color he could never forget, a color that could ignite a burning passion in his heart.

"I didn't witness what happened that day; I only heard about it from other people recently."

“Everyone knows that my Wei family and the Su family once had a marriage alliance, and they also know that you were once Su Muyao’s beast husband. So at that time, I thought they were deliberately telling me to see the Wei family’s reaction, or even to see the Wei family make a fool of themselves.”

"I didn't really believe those claims before. You shouldn't believe things you didn't see with your own eyes."

"Seeing is believing, rumors are unreliable."

"But now that I hear you say this, I realize that she is really outstanding, even more outstanding than we imagined. She truly deserves to be Su Zhihong's daughter."

When this was mentioned, the Wei family head's expression was also very complicated.

It's hard to describe what I'm feeling right now.

She looked at Wei Jinmo and said, "Even if she has gained strength and is no longer useless like before, I don't know what has happened to her personality, or if she has changed at all."

The head of the Wei family still didn't want to admit that he had misjudged the situation, and he didn't want to regret it, so he wanted to find out the truth.

"You insisted on going to the North, probably for her sake, right?"

Tell me what you've learned in the North.

Wei Jinmo cupped her hands respectfully and said, "Yes."

Wei Jinmo then began to recount his experiences in the Northern Territory. As he spoke slowly, the Wei family head grew increasingly shocked.

"So, her contribution is genuine?"

The Wei family head was shocked that Su Muyao would go to such a dangerous place as the border city wall to guard the city, and would also use her medical skills to treat so many wounded soldiers.

"It's true." Wei Jinmo saw it with her own eyes and naturally knew how beautiful and dazzling she was at that time.

She possessed healing abilities, and she nearly fainted from exhaustion while trying to save as many soldiers as possible. Moreover, the apprentices she trained were also highly skilled in medicine.

Her apprentices all respected her greatly.

Legends about her remain in the North, but only the people of Beast King City are unaware of them.

After his initial shock, the Wei family head remarked, "Most of the beastmen in Beast Emperor City don't understand these things. They all say that she got her credit by piggybacking on the Yun family's success."

"Everyone has a deep prejudice against her, but on the day she arrived in Beast King City, she clashed with the Jiang family, and even Jiang Mochuan was no match for her. It can be considered as making an example of her, and no one dared to cause her any trouble for a while."

At that time, very few noble families appeared on the streets; most were ordinary people. So, everyone learned about what happened that day through rumors.

No matter how strong the rumors were, many people still didn't believe that Su Muyao was that powerful.

After a pause, the Wei family head looked at Wei Jinmo and said, "When the Su family was in trouble, the Wei family elders held a meeting and made a decision to have you and Su Muyao terminate your partnership contract. Who could have imagined that this day would come?"

It was the elders of the Wei family who forced Wei Jinmo to do that.

Because Wei Jinmo is a man and the heir to the Wei family, he cannot have too many stains on his record.

In this generation of the Wei family, only Wei Jinmo is exceptionally capable; the others are all quite mediocre.

Therefore, everyone in the family, including the elders, placed high hopes on him.

They even placed the entire future of the Wei family on his shoulders, as if a heavy responsibility and burden had fallen upon him.

He was raised as an heir from a young age, with all the family resources poured into him, making him incomparable to others.

Males always have to put in much more effort than females to inherit the family business.

Upon hearing this, Wei Jinmo's hands, which were placed at his sides, trembled slightly. He clenched them tightly, as if trying to hide his emotions.

The head of the Wei family naturally noticed these details. He could tell that even though Wei Jinmo tried her best to hide it, there was still a sense of weariness and sadness about her.

"You...you've fallen for her, haven't you?"

The head of the Wei family asked this question very bluntly.

Wei Jinmo was stunned for a moment, and a deep, lingering pain welled up in his heart. The suppressed regret in his heart overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

But he remained serious and calm, saying, "Mother, I have fallen in love with her."

It's not just liking, it's love.

There was no hiding anything; they openly admitted it.

Only he himself knew the bitterness in his heart.

The head of the Wei family knew his son's temperament, and for him to say such a thing, it was clearly more than just love.

She remained silent for a long time, then sighed and said, "It is the family that has wronged you."

"The family places heavy burdens on your shoulders, forcing you to make any choice that benefits the family, without ever asking whether you like it or not."

"Logically speaking, once a male marries, he should stand with his wife through thick and thin, especially when Su Muyao was exiled, he should share her joys and sorrows."

"Back then, the elders forced you to break your partnership contract with Su Muyao, partly for the sake of the family, and partly because they were afraid that your body wouldn't be able to adapt to the environment of the Northern Territory and that something might happen to you there."

The family heir, whom they had painstakingly nurtured, had his future rest on Wei Jinmo's shoulders, and no one wanted him to perish in the Northern Territory.

At the time, they didn't think they were wrong, but now they realize how terribly wrong they were, and that the one who was truly hurt was Wei Jinmo.

She is the head of the Wei family, and she prioritizes the family's interests in everything she does. But she is also a mother, so how could she not feel sorry for her son?
