Although Sun Shurong knew that the Sun family had the intention to rebel, she only found out today that this intention had been there since her aunt was still alive.
She asked: "Grandpa agreed?"
Sun Chengyu said: "Garrisoning troops is not a trivial matter. Once discovered, it will be a capital crime that will implicate the nine clans. Your grandfather would not dare to agree rashly.
But you can't stand your aunt's fuss. She is your grandfather's youngest daughter. She has been doted on since she was a child, so she was raised to be a bit indulgent and willful.
Your grandfather was afraid that she would make a fuss known to everyone, so he agreed to her, but raising an army privately was not a trivial matter and required a lot of money.
In this way, the Sun family started step by step, starting with business, expanding the Sun family's business and accumulating money.
Soon your mother became pregnant, but it was at this time that problems arose.
Your aunt was worried that after your mother gave birth to a son, her own son's status would not be guaranteed, and she was also worried that the Sun family would abandon Wei'er, so she went crazy and attacked your mother, causing your mother to lose her life due to dystocia."
"What?"
Sun Shurong was shocked. She had always known that her mother died in childbirth, but she didn't expect that it was her aunt who was responsible.
She clenched her fists, feeling an inexplicable resentment in her heart.
Sun Shurong suppressed the resentment in her heart and asked, "Dad, why have you not remarried for so many years because you feel guilty about my mother?"
Sun Chengyu said: "This is just part of it."
He said with a serious expression on his face: "Your aunt harmed your mother, but she still doesn't feel any regrets.
She was afraid that I would marry again, so in the name of apologizing to me, she poisoned my ginseng soup so that I would never have any children of my own."
Sun Shurong was shocked. She looked at her father and never expected that he would suffer such injustice.
She asked sadly: "What happened next?"
Sun Chengyu laughed a few times: "After the incident was revealed, your aunt knew that she was ashamed of me, so she committed suicide in front of your grandfather. Her only last wish before her death was to help her son succeed.
After your aunt died, your grandfather also fell ill and passed away not long after.
At first, I hated your aunt and Will. I felt that they had ruined my family and my happiness.
But I no longer have a son, so I can only focus all my energy on Will, hoping that he can rule the world.
Gradually, this became my demonic obstacle. The Sun family's business grew bigger and bigger, and I became more and more bold.
I dominate Jingzhou and trick all the strong men in the city into becoming soldiers. I just hope that one day my dream will come true.
But the appearance of the regent ruined all the planning I had worked hard on for so many years."
When his nephew died, there was a moment when he felt that all his perseverance and hope had collapsed.
At that time, he really wanted to kill the regent and die with them.
Fortunately, his daughter persuaded him and gave him hope again.
Sun Shurong held his hand and said, "Dad, my daughter will never let you lose."
She knew that this was her father's obsession and it was impossible for him to give up. Now she could only bite the bullet and move forward.
Sun Chengyu looked at her and said, "You are much better than your brother."
If his daughter was a son, maybe what his sister was worried about would really happen.
Sun Shurong raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course, I am your daughter."
Sun Chengyu smiled slightly. It was a rare moment for father and daughter to sit together and talk to each other, talking and thinking about the future.
