Zhan Yiyang helped his grandmother walk back and said comfortingly, "Grandma, you have to look at it from another perspective. You are unhappy only on the second day of the new year. You are very happy at other times. You don't have a daughter or a granddaughter, but your sons and grandsons all marry the daughters who were pampered and raised by other families."

"Are you unhappy when other people's daughters usually surround you, are filial to you, and accompany you?"

The old lady burst out laughing. "When you put it that way, grandma is very happy. It's your grandmother and the others who are unhappy."

"That's right, that's how it is. I don't know how many people envy grandma."

"I envy you for having such filial grandchildren like us. The nine of us brothers have never embarrassed you."

The old lady smiled and said, "Old Four, why do I feel like your mouth is smeared with honey? It's very sweet."

"I usually speak very sweetly."

"You're not usually this sweet. Tell me what you want to say to grandma."

The old lady knew what was going on and asked even though she knew the answer.

"Granny, are you going back inside or walking around?"

"Let's walk around and see the courtyard they've decorated. It's already the second day of the Chinese New Year, and grandma still hasn't had time to walk around the garden and enjoy the scenery."

Zhan Yiyang said, "Grandma took my three sisters-in-law out to play. How could they have time to visit the garden? My three brothers probably cursed Grandma in their dreams that night."

"If they dare to scold me, I will take my granddaughter-in-law and travel around the world so that they can't find our real place of residence."

Zhan Yiyang laughed, "I don't dare to complain to your face, but I dare to complain behind your back."

"I don't care what people say behind my back. Since they didn't say it to my face, I'll just pretend I don't know. No matter how well you do, people will still talk about you behind your back."

The grandmother and grandson strolled in the various gardens in the villa.

The workers hung red lanterns and some red festive little items on the trees, making each garden look like it had a New Year feel.

"Grandma, look, my brothers are all in pairs, but I'm still single. This year has passed, I'm one year older, and I'm an older young person..."

"It's your choice to be single till now."

Zhan Yiyang choked, then he smiled flatteringly: "Grandma, I was wrong. I didn't appreciate your kindness. Grandma, tell me, is Du Yumeng a cute baby? Does she have many aliases? Is the Changeable Fox also her?"

"How would I know? I didn't see her turn into a fox, so how could I know if she was a fox or not?"

"Let's call her Mengbao. There's a word Meng in her name. Maybe her elders in the family also call her Mengbao. Whether she is Silver Fox's apprentice, grandma dare not say."

Zhan Yiyang said affirmatively: "The elders in her family all call her Yu Meng, or Meng Meng."

"I didn't hear them call her Mengbao."

"Then it's not her."

Zhan Yiyang: "...but I think the cute baby is Du Yumeng, and the fox is also her."

"Grandma, you chose Du Yumeng for me, so you must have known her inside out. Just like my second and third sisters-in-law, you can know all their secrets. I'm sure you know Du Yumeng's secrets, too."

The old lady didn't need Zhan Yiyang to support her. She walked to a bench under the tree and sat down.

"When I was helping your second and third brothers choose wives, grandma wasn't as old as she is now and still had enough energy, so she spent a lot of time to find out about them. Now when it's your turn and the fifth and sixth brothers' turn, grandma's energy isn't as good as before, so she didn't spend as much time investigating."

"If Du Yumeng is Silver Fox's apprentice, then it will be even harder to investigate. Who is Silver Fox? He is in the Five Emperors Hall and is in charge of the information network. His information network is the largest. If we investigate his apprentice, wouldn't that be courting death?"

"Even though he has retired now, he has many successors, all of whom are better than him."

"Although grandma has some courage, she is not the kind of person who dares to step on anyone. Knowing how powerful the Five Emperors Hall is, how dare she provoke them?"

"Our family is now on good terms with the Five Emperors Hall because your eldest brother and sister-in-law are on good terms with the Jun family, and Mr. Fei is the assistant of your eldest sister-in-law's grandmother. These two relationships are what allowed the Five Emperors Hall to give us some face."

Zhan Yiyang didn't believe a word of what his grandma said.

"Grandma, I am your grandson."

The old lady looked at him and said, "If you were not my grandson, I would not bother to pay attention to you."

"But even if you are my grandson, there are things that grandma doesn't know. Just because you are my grandson doesn't mean I know everything. Do you think grandma is a god and can do everything? Even a god has things he doesn't know."

"Grandma, I am ungrateful and have failed you. You chose Du Yumeng for me, and Du Yumeng must be the right one for me, but I wanted to find someone on my own. I couldn't find the broad road, but took the narrow path. Now I am lost and can't get out."

"Grandma, please, can you tell me the truth? Is Du Yumeng a fox? The two of them are actually one person, right?"

The old lady asked him back: "What if it is? What will you do? What if it is not? What will you do?"

"Are you planning to pursue Du Yumeng again? You don't love Du Yumeng. Even if you pursue Du Yumeng, you will treat her as your second woman."

Zhan Yiyang said: "As long as it can be proved that they are the same person, what is the difference between my love for Du Yumeng and my love for Hu Li? They are the same person."

It's just a vest.

People are still the same person.

Zhan Yiyang felt there was no difference.

"There is a difference. Du Yumeng is good enough, and you pursued her for three months. What was the result? You said you didn't love her and couldn't develop a romantic relationship with her. You told Du Yumeng that very clearly."

"Even if the fox is Du Yumeng's alias, you fell in love with her alias. She can't live with you as a fox every day. Du Yumeng is completely different from a fox. When you face Du Yumeng, you will feel that she is a different person."

"It's like you're seeing another person through her. She's just a stand-in. This is really unfair to Miss Du."

"Old Four, since you've already given up, stop bothering Miss Du and just go chase your fox."

"You don't have to beg grandma. It's useless to beg grandma. Grandma asked you repeatedly at the beginning, are you sure you want to give up? Don't regret it if you give up. If you regret it, don't come to grandma. Grandma can't help you. You made the decision yourself and chose the path yourself. You have to finish it yourself."

"You're not a three-year-old kid anymore."

The old lady just wanted to see the fourth child’s anxious look.

It's because this kid has such a poor understanding.

The boss has figured it out, but he is still going around in circles.

If Tongtong hadn't hinted to him last time, he would never have associated the fox and Du Yumeng together.

Zhan Yiyang's handsome face fell, "Grandma, I didn't know Du Yumeng was a fox. If I knew, I would definitely not give up."
