At that time, his wife was already pregnant, and it was none other than Tuli Yang.
When she heard that her husband was to take a concubine, she was very calm and said that she agreed with his decision, but he could not take this Huang Huan as a concubine since her background was unclear, and she harbored ulterior motives.
Tuli Wen thought his wife was merely jealous, and after several fruitless arguments, he suggested they live separately, distancing himself from his wife, and he joyously spent his days and nights with that woman, causing his wife to lose face completely.
In the end, it turned out his wife’s suspicions were correct. That beautiful woman was the daughter of an enemy family. She was too frail to kill Tuli Wen, and perhaps due to the affection that had grown between them overnight, it seemed she also hesitated to do him harm. Thus, she lured Tuli Yang into a deadly trap under the pretense of going hunting.
The thoughts of many women are strange and peculiar; they cannot carry out the act themselves but can kill indirectly.
Tuli Wen was subjected to a terrible ambush, with nearly all of his household warriors killed. Although he was highly skilled in martial arts, he was outnumbered and was about to lose his life when his wife arrived with her family’s samurai and slaughtered the assassins, rescuing Tuli Wen.
After hesitating for a long time, Tuli Wen still spared that beautiful yet venomous woman, Huang Huan, choosing only to banish her.
However, Huang Huan, who previously could not bring herself to act, now decisively struck, shooting a hidden weapon at Tuli Wen.
The distance was too close, and completely unguarded, Tuli Wen was struck in the chest by a poisoned needle.
At that moment, everyone was thrown into panic. Tuli Wen’s wife stepped forward, first killing the woman with a single blow, and then ripping open her husband’s clothes, she sucked the poisoned blood from his wound with her mouth.
It was because his wife promptly sucked out the poisoned blood that Tuli Wen managed to cling to life.
Although his wife was very careful, a small amount of poison still entered her body. After being treated by a Medical Daoist Monk, her life was not in danger, but after giving birth, the child she bore, Tuli Yang, was exceptionally ugly and bizarrely deformed.
Although there was no evidence, Tuli Wen always believed that the child turned out that way undoubtedly because his wife had sucked out the poisoned blood to save him.
Therefore, Tuli Wen felt immensely guilty in his heart. He held no disdain for Tuli Yang’s short stature and ugliness; on the contrary, he loved him even more.
When Tuli Yang was five years old and it was confirmed that his intelligence was unaffected, Tuli Wen decisively named him the heir of Luan Yang City, cutting off all hopes of his other sons.
Half asleep and dazed, Tuli Yang suddenly felt someone nearby, accompanied by an intense gaze.
Opening his eyes, Tuli Yang saw his tall, gaunt father.
He was indeed alive, Suo Lun had not lied to him.
His father, who always abstained from frivolous words and laughter and was as resolute as steel, was now covered in tears.
Overwhelmed with ecstasy and excitement, Tuli Yang threw himself into his father Tuli Wen’s arms like a child and burst into tears!
It seemed as though he was pouring out all of the grievances and pain he had ever felt.
And Tuli Wen held his son tightly, gently patting his back and stroking his hair to comfort him.
These actions, he had not performed for a very long time.
As a child, Tuli Yang was often bullied and laughed at because of his unusual looks. Each time, he would run into his father’s embrace and cry, and each time, Tuli Wen would comfort him this way.
But after he turned ten, Tuli Wen felt that his son had grown up and could no longer be coddled; he had to be brave and face the world himself, and he never performed such gestures again.
Today, he comforted his son once more like when he was a child, the only difference being that his own tears were also falling without restraint.
Amidst his sobbing, Tuli Yang told his father everything that had happened.
After more than an hour!
The cabin opened, and father and son, Tuli Wen and Tuli Yang, came out and knelt before Suo Lun and Zhen Yan Princess.
"The Tuli Family of Luan Yang City hereby pledges eternal allegiance to Her Highness the Princess and to Marquis Suo Lun with our lives!"
Having said that, the two of them bowed their heads deeply, touching the ground!
