Ling Yao hugged her and almost burst into tears.

He touched Shu Shiyu's face and said, "You are much healthier now. Good, good!"

When he saw her a few years ago, she always looked sickly, as if she would be blown away by the wind. He was afraid that if he was not careful, he would be the one to see her die.

He was far away at the border and was rarely in Beijing during the holidays. He had no son, and Qingqing was a girl, so he could not take care of her in many ways.

Knowing that Shu Yan, who had once promised him that he would only have one daughter in his life, remarried and took a concubine shortly after his daughter's death, he rushed into Shu Yan's house with a sword, wanting to kill this Zhongshan wolf with one blow, but was eventually stopped by others.

He had to settle for the second best and wanted to take his granddaughter to the border, but she was weak and the fatigue of the journey might cost her life, so in the end, the plan was abandoned.

Helplessly, Ling Yao could only send Baichuan and Baijiang to her to protect her. Shu Yan had already broken his promise to him.

As his granddaughter's health deteriorated, Ling Yao had no choice but to ask her to go find Yu Tongchen and use the favor of saving Yu Tongchen's life in exchange for him treating his granddaughter.

Facts have proved that Yu Tongchen's medical skills are very good, and his granddaughter's health has improved, but he also sent his granddaughter into the "wolf's den" with his own hands.

When Yu Tongchen went to the border for his granddaughter, Ling Yao thought, he hoped that after so many years of being short-sighted, he could finally make a good judgment this time.

"The wind is strong in the valley, why don't you come in and talk? Don't let Qingqing get cold." Yu Tongchen said.

Ling Yao glanced at him, snorted, and said unhappily: "You are calling me so affectionately, it's not proper, you are shameless!"

Yu Tongchen froze. The old man's words made him, who was usually eloquent, speechless.

It is indeed not justified.

Shu Shiyu pursed her lips and carefully glanced at Ling Yao.

Ling Yao touched her head, "Qingqing, don't be afraid. I'm scolding him. The wolf cub is cunning and has deceived grandpa's dear Qingqing away. It's windy outside. Qingqing, go back to the house quickly. You will feel uncomfortable later."

"Qingqing, have you had a better appetite these days? Have you had a full breakfast? Are you in a good mood?"

Shu Shiyu replied to him one by one.

"It seems that this kid still has some good points. He takes good care of you."

"Grandfather, he is very good to me."

"You're speaking for him now? Girls are extroverts."

"Grandfather~"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Ling Yao couldn't stand her coquettishness and said quickly.

The boy next to him never took his eyes off Qingqing, and Ling Yao felt relieved.

After dinner, Shu Shiyu went to find Ling Yao.

Putting all the evidence in front of Ling Yao, Shu Shiyu took a deep breath and said, "Grandfather, my mother is not suffering from a simple postpartum hemorrhage."

"Shu Yan and Li Man conspired to put drugs in the water that my mother drank."

"Bai Jiang and Bai Chuan have found the maid who was with my mother back then. She luckily survived."

Ling Yao slammed the table, "How can this be possible!"

"I thought he just changed his mind, but I never thought he was so vicious!"

"Shu Shiyi is only two months younger than me."

Ling Yao was furious after hearing this, "They are in cahoots with each other!"

After his anger subsided, Ling Yao's straight back suddenly hunched down, "It's my fault that I was blind and agreed to let your mother marry him."

"Grandfather, I want to go back to the capital. I won't be at peace until my mother's death is avenged."

"Grandfather will go back with you."

"it is good."

Ling Yao touched her head and said, "Qingqing, you are the only one I have. You must be well. I don't want to die behind you."

"My grandfather and I will both live to be a hundred years old." Shu Shiyu answered seriously.

"My dear, don't take advantage of your youth to break your promise."

"Am I a person who does not keep his word in my grandfather's eyes?"

Ling Yao snorted, "You wrote to me in the past saying that everything was fine, but when I came back and asked about it, I found out that you were sick and lying in bed every day, and Shu Yan was not treating you well."

Shu Shiyu sighed, "Grandfather, you are worried about the war, how can I bear to distract you?"

A moment of distraction on the battlefield can result in a loss of life.

Ling Yao was silent. As a military general guarding the border, he had no choice. He wanted to take her back to the general's mansion, but Shu Yan felt that it was embarrassing for him and repeatedly stopped him.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Ling Yao shook his head, "Where does Qingqing live now?"

"Main house."

"What? Where does that brat live?!" Ling Yao's voice got louder when he heard that.

"He lives in the study."

Ling Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and stopped talking when he was about to say something, "Qingqing, are you sure?"

“Well, Grandfather, I believe in my own judgment. He is not Shu Yan.”

"Okay, as long as you're happy."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

"It's late at night, Qingqing, go back and rest. Grandfather will sit alone for a while."

"it is good."

Not long after Shu Shiyu left, Yu Tongchen came over.

"What are you doing here?" The old man's tone was still not very good.

"I'm here to show you my sincerity." Yu Tongchen said, sitting next to him.

"Old man, I won't promise you anything now, but you can make requests to me."

He put himself in a passive position, allowing her elders to dictate terms.

"Two requests."

"You say."

"I want you to have only her in your life. Although I don't spend much time with her, I know that she always hates men having three wives and four concubines."

His granddaughter looks sickly and gentle, but she is strong-willed at heart.

"I had planned not to marry in this life, but when I met Qingqing, I overturned my previous idea. Yu Tongchen has only been attracted to her, and she is the only one in this life."

"Second, be good to her. Other than that, I don't ask for anything else."

"Just watch me, I will prove it with my whole life."

"In fact, I could feel from the moment I came in that you put your heart into it, otherwise Qingqing wouldn't be in such a good mood." Ling Yao looked at him, "I agree, so let's prepare what needs to be prepared."

"Thank you, old man!"

"Why are you thanking me? You should thank Qingqing for liking you." Ling Yao snorted again, "Before we get married, don't get close to Qingqing."

I get angry when I see him.

"Yes." He walked over quietly.

"You're so cunning!" Ling Yao cursed after he left.

The next morning, Ling Yao had just finished practicing martial arts when he saw Yu Tongchen walking towards the main house. "Where are you going?"

"Have breakfast with you."

"I'll go as well."

"Please."

Yu Tongchen walked behind him.

Shu Shiyu's health is getting better and better, and now he eats in the outer hall.

"Grandfather, He Guang." Shu Shiyu shouted when he saw them coming.

"Qingqing, did you sleep well last night?" Ling Yao's expression changed when he saw her.

"very good."

While they were talking, Yu Tongchen had already served a bowl of porridge to Shu Shi and Ling Yao respectively.

Ling Yao glanced at him and thought that this kid had some savvy.

Yu Tongchen stirred the porridge until it cooled down a bit, then said, "It should be the right temperature now, please enjoy it."

"it is good."

Ling Yao sat aside drinking porridge, secretly observing his movements. It was obvious that he did this often and was very familiar with the movements of taking care of people. He couldn't help feeling a little satisfied.

During the time Ling Yao had been staying in the Valley of Divine Doctors, he felt relieved when he saw Yu Tongchen taking care of people without any unfamiliarity, but he still had a stern face.

But Yu Tongchen was not afraid of him at all, and he still showed his courtesy.

As summer approached, the weather became hotter. Shu Shi and Ling Yao planned to return to Beijing. Yu Tongchen wanted to go with them, but he received letters from Jing Zhan and eldest disciple Yuan Youli one after another.
