The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

Shen Qi said to his granddaughter: "It's true. It's all because grandpa was too kind to them."

Shen Ruolan said: "Not good. If he is expelled from the Xia clan, then he may not be able to pay the huge amount of compensation he owes."

After all, instead of killing Xia Hongmiao, Shen Ruolan would rather use him to exchange for some useful things.

But now, Xia Hongmiao has lost the protection of the Xia clan and is nothing. Let alone a million kilograms of grain, he would probably find it difficult to come up with even a million taels of silver.

"What does he owe you?" Shen Qi asked.

Shen Ruolan told her grandfather all the compensation conditions that she and Jiang Dichen had proposed.

After Shen Qi heard this, he was silent for a moment and said, "Don't worry, Lan'er. Jiang Dichen is different from grandpa. As long as he wants the compensation, no matter how the Emperor of Xia wants to push it away, he can't push it away."

Although he didn't know Jiang Dichen very well, given his stubborn temper, if Xia Guo dared to say no, there was no doubt that he would lead his troops to attack the capital of Xia Guo.

Grandpa's words reminded Shen Ruolan of Jiang Dichen's warning to Xia Hongmiao, which made her feel a little relieved.

Just as the grandfather and grandson were about to continue their conversation, they suddenly heard Ding Xiuwen shouting downstairs in the inn: "Shen Qi, you old thief, get out here right now if you have the guts."

When Shen Ruolan heard the voice, she said to her grandfather in panic, "Grandpa, please find a place to hide and don't get into a conflict with Ding Xiuwen. His martial arts are very powerful."

When Shen Qi heard that Ding Xiuwen had come, he frowned and said, "Grandpa has no grudge against him in the recent past, so it doesn't matter how powerful his martial arts are."

After saying this, he comforted his granddaughter, "Lan'er, take a good rest. Grandpa will go meet him."

After Shen Qi finished speaking, he turned and walked out of Shen Ruolan's room.

Shen Ruolan looked at her grandfather's back and shouted anxiously, "Grandpa..."

Seeing that she couldn't call grandpa back, she quickly said to Ye Bing, "Ye Bing, go tell your master and ask him to keep an eye on him. Don't let grandpa get hurt."

"Yes, ma'am." Ye Bing replied.

Shen Qi came to the outside of the inn. He looked at the aggressive Ding Xiuwen and asked with a frown, "Shadow Moon Saint, I wonder why you are looking for me?"

Shen Qi's words "Shadow Moon Holy Hand" made the passers-by around them look at the two of them curiously.

Ding Xiaofan followed behind. She pushed through the crowd, grabbed her grandfather and shouted in panic, "Grandpa, let's go back to the inn. Let's not fight here, okay?"

Ding Xiuwen looked at his granddaughter who was full of anxiety, and the curious passers-by around him. He said to Shen Qi with a sullen face: "Mr. Shen, let's meet outside the city at night. Anyone who doesn't come is a pervert."

After Ding Xiuwen finished speaking, he took his granddaughter away.

Shen Qi looked puzzled. He cursed at Ding Xiuwen's back unhappily, "Mad man."

After saying this, he turned around and went back to the inn.

When Shen Ruolan saw her grandfather coming back, she quickly asked, "Grandpa, what did old man Ding want to talk to you about?"

Shen Qi said with an unhappy look on his face: "Who knows, he's a lunatic."

Shen Ruolan thought about it and told her grandfather the truth: "Grandpa, from the tone of his voice, it seems that he has a deep hatred for you. You must stay away from him and don't let him hurt you."

Shen Qi frowned when he heard his granddaughter say this, "But grandpa has never had any contact with him, so how can there be such a deep hatred?"

"Do you have any misunderstandings?" Shen Ruolan asked.

Shen Qi shook his head and said firmly: "No."

Shen Ruolan was full of confusion and asked, "That's strange. Where does his hatred for the Shen family come from?"

Shen Qi comforted his granddaughter, "Lan'er, Grandpa will take care of this matter. Just take good care of yourself and don't worry."

Shen Ruolan nodded to her grandfather and said, "Okay."

"Well, you take a rest. Grandpa will go out for a walk." He wanted to find out why Ding Xiuwen was so hostile to him.

Shen Ruolan looked at her grandfather and said, "Grandpa, you have to be careful."

Ding Xiaofan and her grandfather returned to the inn. She begged her grandfather and asked, "Grandpa, what is the grudge between you and the Shen family?"

Ding Xiuwen looked at his granddaughter and said, "Xiao Fan, this is a matter for the older generation. It has nothing to do with you, so there is no need to ask."

Seeing her grandfather like this, Ding Xiaofan suddenly burst into tears. She cried and said, "Grandpa, how can I not ask you when you are like this? Xiaofan only has you. What if something happens to you? How will Xiaofan live?"

Seeing his granddaughter crying so hard, Ding Xiuwen's heart suddenly softened. He patted his granddaughter on the back and said to her, "After you meet up with your cousin, you can stay with him."

Ding Xiuwen paused and said, "Your cousin is a general of the Xia Kingdom. He has many outstanding men under his command. Grandpa will ask him to help you find a responsible husband."

Ding Xiaofan shook her head vigorously and said, "No, Grandpa, Xiaofan doesn't want to get married, and she doesn't want to leave Grandpa. If you don't tell me about the grudge between the Ding and Shen families today, I won't get up."

While Ding Xiaofan was speaking, he suddenly fell to his knees with a plop, looking stubborn.

"Xiao Fan!" Seeing this, Ding Xiuwen looked at his granddaughter and scolded her.

Shen Hui, who had just handed over the inn, stopped instantly when he heard Ding Xiuwen scolding Ding Xiaofan.

However, in order not to disturb Ding Xiuwen, he didn't dare to get close. He just stood there quietly, wanting to listen to how the grandfather and grandson were arguing.

Ding Xiaofan raised his head and looked at his grandfather stubbornly, "Grandpa, if you don't tell the Ding and Shen families about their feud, I won't let you go find that grandfather just now."

It was the first time that Ding Xiaofan talked back to her grandfather, but she was not afraid at all. She was more afraid of losing her grandfather than being beaten by him.

Because the white-haired old man who looked like her grandfather today was no ordinary man, and she didn't want her grandfather to confront him.

Ding Xiuwen looked at his stubborn granddaughter helplessly. He sighed deeply and said to his granddaughter, "Xiao Fan, Grandpa and Shen Qi have a grudge of killing their sons!"

Ding Xiaofan's eyes widened when she heard this, and she asked her grandfather, "Grandpa, are you saying that the old man just now killed my uncle?"

Shen Hui, who was outside, couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Ding Xiuwen's words. Has his grandfather ever killed other people's children?

Shen Hui shook his head. It shouldn't be possible. His Shen family has been studying medicine for generations. Under normal circumstances, they would not easily hurt others, let alone kill children.

When Shen Hui was puzzled, he heard Ding Xiuwen say, "Xiao Fan, before grandpa married your grandma, he first met a woman, but that woman's heart and eyes were all about Shen Qi. Once she got drunk and mistook me for Shen Qi..."

Ding Xiuwen was a little embarrassed when he said this. He didn't want to tell his granddaughter about this, but seeing her insisting on it, he had to continue, "Later, when she got pregnant, she went to find Shen Qi. But Shen Qi got so angry that he jumped into the river, killing two people."
