"Rou'er, what name did Father give the child?" Tianfeng tried to take the Xuan paper from Hanrou's hand, but Hanrou gripped it tightly, as if she had some great grudge against it. She crumpled the paper into a ball in her hand before taking a deep breath.
Seeing his usually gentle wife acting so strangely, Tianfeng frowned deeply. He took Hanrou's hand in his and carefully pried her fingers open, taking out the crumpled piece of Xuan paper she had given him. As he slowly unfolded it, his eyes met the two words on the paper, and his body trembled as if struck by lightning. He muttered to himself, "Tianmiao? It's bad enough that Father named Tianxie Tianxie, but now he's humiliating our son like this..."
"Enough! Stop pretending to be a loving father. You secretly think both of my children are terrible, don't you? You also think it's my fault, right? I am indeed, as the rumors say, an unfortunate woman. You don't need to think about it for three more days. Give me a letter of divorce, and we'll part ways. You can take your concubine, and I'll go back to my humble home. I've had enough of these snobs in your imperial family!"
"Rou'er...you...heard everything..." Tianfeng's voice trembled slightly. In fact, when Rou'er avoided his gaze at his parents, he had already guessed that she had heard everything.
Han Rou smiled gently, but her eyes were sharp, and her voice was devoid of warmth as she said, "Five years ago, when your parents proposed taking a concubine, you refused so firmly without any hesitation. That's why I believed in you and stayed in the Tian family. Even though I suffered countless scornful looks, even though Tianxie was bullied, I endured it time and time again, all because I believed in you, believed that you loved me. Even if our child's aptitude was poor, they were still our child. But your hesitation today makes me realize that in your heart, the Tian family still comes first, and your greatest wish is still to be the head of the family, isn't it?"
"Rou'er, let me explain..."
"No need. I don't want to hear anything. You don't need to go to that villa either. I don't want to see you. If you come, bring a letter of divorce; otherwise, you are not allowed to set foot in my residence!"
After saying that, she didn't even glance at Tianfeng before leaving quickly, as if she were leaving in anger. But the moisture in the corners of her eyes betrayed her; she was running away. She was afraid that if she looked at him any longer, she would be reluctant to leave, she would compromise, she would let him take a concubine, and she would see him being gentle with others in front of her. No, absolutely not. Even if he took three thousand concubines, she didn't want to see a single one. She would rather leave and not see him at all!
After Tianfeng and Hanrou left, the old woman finally asked the old man, "Tianba, what name did you give that child?"
Tianba looked up at the distant sky. The sky in the immortal realm was bluer and farther away than the sky in the mortal realm, making it impossible to guess what was up there.
"That's absurd," the old man uttered calmly.
"A divine error?" The old woman was slightly taken aback, then smiled bitterly and said, "It is indeed a divine error. Only a divine error is suitable for that child. If it weren't for Heaven's mistake, how could it have played a joke on our Heavenly Family again and again? Feng'er and Han Rou are both immortal beings. Who would have thought that they would give birth to a mortal? It's something that happens only once in billions of years."
Tianba sighed heavily and said in an unfriendly tone, "I absolutely do not believe that this is a problem with our Tian family bloodline. We are natives of the Immortal Realm, and our family has never even had a child born with only spiritual roots. This must be Han Rou's problem. Although the Han family has been in the Immortal Realm for a long time, their ancestors were mortals who ascended to immortality. I have also heard that their family often has children who have only spiritual roots and no immortal roots."
"Tianba, back then, after a gust of evil wind, there was a violent storm with lightning and thunder, which was extremely strange. Tianxie was born with the storm. In addition, this child had no immortal roots or spiritual roots, which was very strange. So at that time, we named the child Tianxie. At first, it was because you were dissatisfied with the child's poor aptitude and took this extreme name."
Later, Old Man Han made things difficult for us Tian family members quite a bit. Because the child was a descendant of our Tian family, we insisted on not changing his name, and Old Man Han couldn't do anything about it. He could only do these things in secret to express his anger. If it weren't for Han Rou persuading her father, I'm afraid all the descendants of our Tian family who went out to train would have returned injured or maimed, and it would have been endless!
Now that you've named that newborn child Tianmiao, I'm sure Old Man Han won't let us off the hook. The Han family is notoriously protective of its own. They treat all the children in the Han family who only have spiritual roots equally, never mistreating them. On the contrary, out of sympathy for the children's unfortunate talents, they value those with less talent even more. As long as those children don't give up and work hard at cultivation, they will never abandon them, and will even give them more cultivation pills than those given to children with better talent. Moreover, Han Rou is Old Man Han's only daughter; she certainly won't try to dissuade us this time, and it will definitely cause quite a stir.”
"So what? Do you think the Tian family is afraid of the Han family?" Tianba slammed his hand on the table, his voice filled with anger, but his gaze wavered.
The old woman sighed bitterly, "If we had obtained the treasured heirloom, it would be fine, but to this day, no one in the Tian family has obtained it. Our Tian family is essentially just an empty shell. If it weren't for your existence as a Great Luo Golden Immortal, the Tian family would have long since declined. How could we possibly contend with the Han family? The reason we formed a marriage alliance with the Han family back then was because no one in the Tian family had obtained the treasured heirloom yet, and we wanted to find a backer. Now, if our backer turns into an enemy, I'm afraid..."
"Alright, stop talking! The concubine we're preparing for Feng'er this time is no less powerful than Han Rou!" Tianba waved his hand to interrupt, his face extremely ugly.
The old woman pondered for a moment, then gave a cold laugh and said, "Indeed, if what Feng'er said is true, that Han Rou is proud and unwilling to share a husband with another, then that would be perfect. I even think that making the Cheng family's daughter a concubine would displease the head of the Cheng family! If Han Rou leaves, the Cheng family's daughter can rightfully become the legal wife, which would be perfect!"
Because Cheng's daughter couldn't forget Feng'er, she was unwilling to get married. However, Cheng Yuefeng was extremely concerned about his reputation and was very angry that his daughter was willing to become a concubine to marry Feng'er. But his most beloved offspring was his youngest daughter, Cheng Jiao, and he couldn't do anything about it!
Now that his daughter can be his legal wife, he must think that we divorced Han Rou to give his daughter the status of a legal wife. Given Cheng Yuefeng's personality, he will definitely be very grateful to us and will do his best to help the imperial family. No matter how angry Old Man Han is, he can only swallow his anger. After all, it's his own daughter's fault for not wanting to share a husband, so he can't blame us!
