Chapter 1520 âWater Clanâs Young Lord (1)â
âSnowing, whatâs the big deal about a man having a few lovers outside? Which successful man doesnât have a few with them? Moreover, the young lord is not married and only has a son, that means the childâs birth mother isnât fit to take center stage.â
The woman couldnât refute the idea tempted her swaying heart as well. Speaking in a hesitant tone: âThis... letâs ask our daughterâs opinion first. She hasnât even married yet and is now going to be someoneâs stepmother. I just find the idea difficult to accept.â
No matter how much she liked the thought of being the mother-in-law of the most powerful man in the Water Clan, sheâs still a mother. As a mother, she undoubtedly wants the best for her own daughter.
Tian Wind didnât say it aloud, but his thoughts werenât the same as his own wife who showed what she was thinking along the face. Snowing is thinking too much. Being the wife of the young lord? Thatâs not possible. Perhaps a lover for him is more likely....
After their conversation, Snowing soon left the tea room and arrived at her own daughter Tian Fragranceâs room. Her hand hesitated when attempting to make a knock, but the hesitation couldnât hold out against the temptation still.
A moment later, the door swung open and out came a girl with dreary eyes wearing a cartoon t-shirt. âMom, do you need something, why are you coming so late?â
For this only daughter of hers, Snowingâs attitude only had warmth and kindness: âFragrance, I came because I have something I want to discuss with you. Let me inside first.â
Doing as told, Fragrance moves to one side to let Snowing in but kept her confused look up the entire way. âMom, what is so urgent that you canât wait till morning?â
âSit down first,â patting the chair so her daughter would sit with her, âyou know your uncle is the steward of the Water Clan donât you? What if I say me and your papa can help you get close to the young lord?â
When speaking up to this part, Snowingâs voice grew hesitant and paused for a breather because she knew her daughterâs temperament the best. Regarding something like arranged marriages, thereâs no way this daughter would be willing and happy.
âWhat?!â Fragranceâs voice nearly shrieked at the suggestion. Jumping up and stomping her feet in protest, âYou want me to marry that sick mule from the Water Clan?â
Going white in the face after her daughterâs outburst, Snowing immediately jumped up to cusp the careless girlâs mouth so she would stop talking: âDonât speak like that, you know how our Tian Clan is heavily relying on the Water Clan! If anyone hears of what you said then not even your uncle can save us!â
âIâm not making up stuff, everyone knows how sick that person is. After he fell into a coma eight years ago, the guy had a huge change in his temperament and would lash out at everyone. And itâs not like you donât know either Mom, no one has seen him step out of the Water Clanâs estate! Why would you want me to marry someone thatâs terminally ill? I donât want to be a widow right away!â
Unlike her parents, Tian Fragrance wants to pursue happiness in her life like any young lady of her age. Marrying a sickly boy thatâs perhaps at the deathâs gate, who would want to?
âSweetie,â Snowing sighs at the answer, âwe arenât certain on the young lordâs condition, thatâs only a rumor. How about you make the decision after meeting the young man first?â
Truth was despite her older brother being the steward of the Water Clan, no one really knows the real health of the young lord mentioned here. Sure, the members of that family may know, but none would be stupid enough to spread it out into the public, especially after the supposed temperamental change after coming out of the coma.
