The carriage quickly returned to Yongcheng.

The streets of Yongcheng were still bustling, and people were doing what they were supposed to do, as if the war in the city a few days ago had never happened.

Maybe it's because of the border, people have long been accustomed to war.

"Then you guys go back to the general's mansion first, I want to go see my grandfather."

Ouyang Miaoling opened her eyes and spoke to the man who was sitting opposite her and had been looking at her.

"I will go too."

"What are you going to do?"

"I am accompanying Ling'er to visit her grandfather?"

"You...don't forget that you will divorce me in three months."

"I remember, but haven't we divorced yet?"

"Okay... whatever you want. As long as you don't mind me, the regent of a country, condescending to you, I have nothing to say."

"I don't feel wronged...I don't feel wronged. I would love nothing more than to be able to accompany Ling'er to visit the elders."

Ouyang Miaoling glanced at the man in front of her and said nothing more.

"Bone Shadow...Stop in front"

Nangong Mingxuan said in the carriage.

"What do you want to do again?"

"This is my first visit, and you want me to go empty-handed?"

"My grandparents wouldn't care about these things."

"Grandfather won't mind, but I am the younger generation, and since it's my first visit, I must bring a gift."

After saying that, he stood up, jumped off the carriage, and went straight into the shop next door to choose gifts. The skeleton shadow followed closely behind him.

Soon, the carriage carrying only two people was filled with all kinds of gifts.

There was barely room for two people to sit.

"Nangong Mingxuan...why did you buy so many gifts? I don't even have a place to sit."

"Ling'er...just make do with it. I didn't buy much."

After saying that, Nangong Mingxuan also jumped onto the carriage, and the carriage continued to move forward on the streets of Yongcheng, heading towards his grandfather's new house.

The group soon arrived at their grandfather's new house.

The servant at the door hurried in to report.

After a while, my grandfather and his family came to the door to greet us.

"I, the guilty subject, greet the Regent, Princess."

Nangong Mingxuan took the lead and quickly stopped his grandfather's family who were about to kneel down and perform the kowtow ceremony.

"Grandfather...I am leaving here in secret this time, so to avoid unnecessary trouble, please skip the formalities."

Wang Yu also understood immediately, and hurriedly bowed, making a gesture of invitation with his hand, and invited the few people back to the house.

In the main hall of the small courtyard, Nangong Mingxuan had just sat down in the main seat.

My grandfather and his entire family quickly knelt down and performed the profound kowtow.

"Prince Regent, Princess Wanan."

"Get up"

Nangong Mingxuan knew that if he didn't let them salute, they would feel uncomfortable, so this time he did not stop them, but gladly accepted their family's kneeling ceremony.

"Grandpa, please sit down."

Ouyang Miaoling quickly asked her grandfather to sit down.

"The criminal should stand still"

My grandfather was quite reserved in front of Nangong Mingxuan.

Nangong Mingxuan could also notice the tense atmosphere in his grandfather's family.

So he stood up and walked to his grandfather's family.

"I came here to accompany Ling'er to pay respects to the elders. If you keep being so reserved, I will also feel uncomfortable. We are a family. Today is just an ordinary visit to the family. I am just your grandson-in-law."

After hearing what the Regent said, Wang Yu opened his eyes and mouth wide, and was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Grandfather, your leg is still injured. Please don't stand. Sit down and let's chat about family matters."

Nangong Mingxuan whispered to calm his grandfather down.

My grandfather slowly let go of the tension in his heart and his movements became less restrained. He walked over and sat at the head of the main hall, and began chatting with Nangong Mingxuan about what he had heard and seen while working in the military camp, as well as his suggestions for some adjustments to the deployment of the barracks.

The two chatted animatedly, praising and respecting each other. There was no longer the courtesy between the emperor and his subjects as at the beginning. Instead, there was just a grandfather and grandson who were humbly asking for advice from their elders.

In the main hall, two people were chatting animatedly, and two princes were waiting on the side and listening.

Ouyang Miaoling accompanied her grandmother to the backyard to talk.

My grandmother was even busier than before, arranging the two maids and preparing lunch.

"Ling'er...do you think grandma's arrangements are appropriate?"

"Grandma...don't be busy anymore, come here and take a rest."

As he said this, he pulled his grandmother to stop and rest.

"Ling'er... This is the first time the Regent has lunch in our courtyard. Grandmother has made very thoughtful arrangements."

"Grandma... just take it easy and make something to eat."

"He is the regent, he has eaten all kinds of delicacies. With our family's conditions, the food can be better than that of the palace."

"Oh... Ling'er, you're right. What should we use to entertain the Regent?"

Grandma started to have a headache again.

Ouyang Miaoling watched her grandmother pacing anxiously in the room and chuckled.

"Grandma... just prepare some home-cooked dishes. If you have time to worry, why not come and talk to your granddaughter?"

The grandmother thought about what her granddaughter said and felt that it made sense, so she put aside her anxiety and arranged for the maid to prepare lunch with home-cooked dishes.

She took her granddaughter's hand, sat down and chatted with her.

After a long time, Ouyang Miaoling finally spoke.

"Grandmother...after my mother got into trouble at the General's Mansion, she rushed to the border to find out what happened. Have you seen her?"

The grandmother was silent for a long time, as if she had made up her mind, and then she looked at her granddaughter and slowly said:

"Ling'er...you are a smart child. Grandma knows that this matter cannot be hidden from you. Grandma just doesn't want you to be like your mother, who was killed while trying to find out what happened back then. Grandma only hopes that you are safe and healthy."

Old Madam Wang told her granddaughter in detail what happened when she met her daughter that year.

Ouyang Miaoling learned what happened that year from her grandmother's narration.

But she did not tell her grandmother the truth that her mother had been murdered by the current Queen Mother. She was afraid that the old lady could not bear it. It was better to maintain the status quo. She would avenge her mother alone.

My grandfather’s family should not be involved in this anymore. They are the only relatives my mother has in this world. As long as they are well, everything will be fine.

"Ling'er..."

Old Madam Wang looked at her granddaughter in front of her, frowning, as if she was thinking about something, so she called out.

"Grandma... Ling'er is fine. I was just wondering if my mother returned to the Duke's Mansion after she returned to the imperial capital."

"When she returned, she discussed with us that we should return to the Duke's Mansion first and then prepare to investigate the truth."

"After she left, a scandal broke out in the capital. Even if she wanted to go back, she couldn't."

"Alas...your mother has a miserable life. She is dragged down by our whole family."

Grandmother, shedding tears of regret as she spoke.

"Grandma...don't be sad. Mother did what she should do. As for me, mother didn't abandon me. It's just that she can't go back to that home."

After saying this, he clenched his hands tightly. It turned out that he would never forgive them for hurting her mother and her father, the Duke.
