At the mention of this matter, Lady Wen’s eyes suddenly lit up with a smile. “It’s the Dongfang family. Your Aunt Ruyan is here to see you.”
“Aunt Ruyan?” Su Qian frowned in confusion. “Aunt, the Dongfang family you’re talking about is the reclusive Dongfang family?”
There were many reclusive families on this continent. The strength of these reclusive families was far above the Black Nine Sect. However, most of these reclusive families were far away from the disputes of the martial world. They often passed down their inheritance for many generations and accumulated substantial family wealth. Among the top reclusive families in Fire Cloud, the Dongfang family ranked among the best. It could be said that even the Imperial Family had to show some respect when they saw the patriarch of the Dongfang family.
Although the Nangong family had considerable strength, it still paled in comparison to the Dongfang family.
Why would someone from such a reclusive family come to the Nangong family?
“Yeah,” Lady Wen sensed Su Qian’s confusion and held her hand. “Look at my memory. I forgot that you were still young when you last met your Aunt Ruyan.”
“I have some impression of the person Aunt is talking about.” After carefully searching through her memories, Su Qian realized that there was indeed a woman named Dongfang Ruyan in her memories. “I remember that Aunt Ruyan is a close friend of my mother. When I was little, every festival or New Year, she would send gifts to me.”
However, Su Qian never got to see any of these gifts. They were all seized by Su Yue and Lady Pei.
“That’s right. She and your mother are intimate friends, as close as sisters.” Lady Wen smiled gently and said, “She is already waiting in the front hall. I will take you to meet her.”
When Su Qian heard this, a dark light flashed across her eyes.
Why did she feel that the sudden visit of someone from the Dongfang family wasn’t in line with common sense?
If Dongfang Ruyan was really like what Lady Wen said and had a good relationship with her mother, why had she not visited the Su family even once after her mother passed away? She only sent some small gifts to the Su family during the festivals, without personally coming to see the previous owner of her body.
With no contact for so many years, the Dongfang family suddenly came to the Nangong family to look for her. Based on Su Qian’s intuition, she immediately determined that there was something fishy going on.
Thinking of this, Su Qian said to Su Qingqing and Su Ye, “Qingqing, Ye’er, you two go play in the backyard. I will look for you when I’m done.”
Su Qingqing and Su Ye had no interest in meeting strangers, so they nodded. “Liuguang, you go with them?” Su Qian looked at Ye Liuguang and asked.
Ye Liuguang snorted and nodded, “Hurry up, we’ll be waiting for you.”
After entering the courtyard, Ye Liuguang accompanied the two little buns to the backyard while Su Qian followed Lady Wen to the front hall.
The front hall was lively at this moment. The sudden visit of the Dongfang family to the Nangong family was not to be taken lightly. Nangong Lie, Lady Zhou, and Nangong Mufeng were all present to accompany the guests.
As soon as Su Qian stepped into the front hall, she immediately spotted the Dongfang family members.
Although she didn’t have much of an impression of the Dongfang family, anyone sitting in chairs in the hall, aside from a few members of the Nangong family, had to be from the Dongfang family.
On the chairs to the right, there sat a man and a woman.
The man appeared to be around forty or fifty, dressed in a splendid black robe. Although his appearance was very ordinary, his aura was remarkably refined, unmistakably that of a person in a high position..
