As Baili Hongzhuang listened to Nangong Wu's words, everyone fell into silence.
Baili Hongzhuang could perceive Lan Yundiao's internal struggle. In truth, they didn't have much curiosity about this hidden secret. What they truly desired was for Yu Linfeng to be happy.
"Yundiao, Nangong Wu makes a valid point. Why don't you tell her about this matter?"
Muling Bing couldn't help but speak up. As a woman herself, she understood Nangong Wu's feelings.
"We are all the closest people to Linfeng. Regardless of who knows, none of us would harm him. You don't need to worry; just tell me!" Nangong Wu's face shimmered with determination.
After a brief silence, the hesitation on Lan Yundiao's face gradually dissipated, and he nodded, "Alright!"
Seeing that Lan Yundiao finally agreed, Nangong Wu let out a sigh of relief.
However, what Lan Yundiao said next left Baili Hongzhuang and the others in a state of shock.
"In fact, Linfeng is the Grand Elder's son."
With just a simple statement, everyone was astonished. At that moment, they understood why the atmosphere between Yu Linfeng and Lan Borong was so peculiar when they met.
"Master, it seems our speculation was correct," Xiao Hei couldn't help but speak.
Baili Hongzhuang was amazed. She never expected that the Grand Elder would turn out to be her master's father. It was truly astonishing.
"The Grand Elder bears a significant responsibility for this matter. Linfeng's hatred towards him has a valid reason," Lan Yundiao recounted, and Baili Hongzhuang and the others came to understand the whole story.
It turned out that Lan Borong had been in love with Linfeng's mother, named Chuxia. However, the Lan family had arranged a marriage alliance with another family, the Wu family, and the chosen person was Lan Borong.
Under pressure and being a responsible person to the family, Lan Borong agreed to the marriage proposal, betraying Linfeng's mother.
Lan Borong married Wu Yanrong, who had a strong background. Due to Wu Yanrong's aggressive nature, she was the one who had set her eyes on Lan Borong and insisted on marrying him.
Although Lan Borong married Wu Yanrong, his heart belonged to Chuxia. Therefore, he maintained a respectful relationship with Wu Yanrong.
Gradually, Wu Yanrong noticed the past affection between Lan Borong and Chuxia, and she started mistreating Chuxia in their daily interactions.
Chuxia, who couldn't let go of Lan Borong, remained unmarried.
At one point, Lan Hongtai proposed that Lan Borong should marry Chuxia to rectify the situation and not leave her in despair.
This news was undoubtedly good news for both Lan Borong and Chuxia. However, Wu Yanrong, with her fierce temperament, strongly opposed it and used the entire Wu family to suppress the matter. Hence, it had to be buried.
Three years later, when it became known that Wu Yanrong was unable to conceive, everyone realized that she was infertile.
At that time, Lan Borong once again proposed to marry Chuxia, but Wu Yanrong still refused. Although it caused great unpleasantness, they had to suppress the matter once again.
In the midst of this helpless situation, Chuxia suddenly became pregnant.
Although Chuxia did not reveal who the father was, the Lan clan knew deep down that it could only be Lan Borong and no one else.
