She looked at their eager eyes and her eyes instantly turned red.

She remembered that in her previous life, she only enjoyed their kindness to her, but rarely came to the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis, only because they had advised her that Xu Jingye was not a good person.

Xu Jingye is not sincere to you, he is just using you!

So she resisted and felt disgusted, thinking that they were not really kind to her.

Until the bloody reality made her understand, it was too late.

Yan Yunshu was pushed into a tall pavilion in the southeast corner by them.

The pavilion is tall and beautifully built. The highest point is surrounded by hollow carved windows, from which you can see the vast city of Tianze Kingdom. It is filled with various beautiful objects and delicacies.

She saw her grandparents walking towards her from their seats, with white hair and unsteady steps.

"Good boy……"

Grandmother hugged her, tears falling, "My dear child, you look more and more like your mother."

The last time Yan Yunshu saw her grandmother was when her mother was still alive. Back then, her grandmother had long black hair and was elegant and refined. In just three years, her hair had turned completely white, and her face was covered in wrinkles.

"I'm sorry, grandma. Shu'er is late."

After her mother left, her grandmother came to the prime minister's residence many times to take her back to the marquis' residence, but was rejected by Yan Yunshu every time.

At that time, she thought that they must be here to persuade her to leave Xu Jingye again, so she tried to avoid them. How could she possibly let them see her!

"It's okay, it's good that you're here, it's good that you're here."

Grandmother pulled Yan Yunshu to sit next to her, while grandfather looked at Yan Yunshu with tears in his eyes.

He thought of his only daughter again.

Wen Qingrou, Yan Yunshu's mother.

"Shu'er, look, these are all your favorite foods."

Grandma picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and placed it directly next to Yan Yunshu's mouth.

Just like when she was a child, her mother brought Yan Yunshu back to the Marquis' Mansion and her grandmother fed her carefully.

Yan Yunshu did not refuse. She opened her mouth and took a bite.

Grandma smiled.

There are tears in the laughter.

Yan Yunshu knew that her grandmother missed her and her mother as well.

"Shu'er, is it delicious?"

"Yeah! Delicious!"

It tastes exactly the same as my mother's.

"Shu'er, this is something your grandmother made herself when she knew you were coming!" said my uncle, reaching out to grab a piece, but my grandmother slapped him in the face and said, "Let Shu'er eat first."

My uncle retracted his hand and murmured, "Mom, you haven't cooked for me in three years."

Three years.

Grandpa and grandmother's hands trembled violently.

Rou'er has passed away for three years. Who knows the pain of seeing a young person die?

General Wen knew he had said the wrong thing and quickly said, "Shu'er has finally come here, so she should stay a little longer before leaving!"

In fact, the two prefectures are only two miles apart.

Yan Yunshu nodded, "Yes, Shu'er came this time to bother uncle for a few more days."

General Wen was so pleased that he couldn't even smile.

The family was having a great time, chatting and talking about everything.

Only the announcement of the loyal guards of the Marquis' Mansion was heard outside.

Xu Jinghuai is here.

Why is he here?

Yan Yunshu quickly picked up half a piece of cake from her grandmother's hand and put it into her mouth. She couldn't let Xu Jinghuai see that she still needed to be fed at such a big age, otherwise she didn't know how he would tease her.

When Xu Jinghuai walked in, all his coldness disappeared and he looked like an extremely well-behaved young man.

This made Yan Yunshu dumbfounded.

Is this still Xu Jinghuai?

As Xu Jinghuai sat down, his grandfather and uncle began to greet him. After a few words back and forth, Yan Yunshu realized that Xu Jinghuai was invited by his grandfather.

Why did you choose the day she came?

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the medicinal herbs you sent me recently. My cold is recovering quickly now."

Xu Jinghuai recalled the words that the old Marquis had asked Yingfeng to bring him that day, telling him not to be too grateful to the old Marquis for pushing Yan Yunshu to him. He laughed awkwardly a few times, "Old Marquis, there is no need to thank me. Ultimately, I should thank you even more."

No one present understood.

Including Yan Yunshu.

What's going on when two people thank each other?

Why did Xu Jinghuai thank his grandfather even more? Could it be that this guy asked his grandfather to do something behind his back?

Thinking of this, Yan Yunshu glared at Xu Jinghuai with a bad look.

Xu Jinghuai understood and shook his head at Yan Yunshu.

Yan Yunshu just couldn't understand it.

During lunch, when everyone was getting up and heading to the family banquet hall, Yan Yunshu took the opportunity to walk next to Xu Jinghuai.

Before he could speak, Xu Jinghuai said, "Don't think too much. I just want to thank the old marquis for inviting me today."

"Oh." Yan Yunshu felt something was wrong, but she couldn't think of any other reason, so she didn't think about it anymore.

"Yan Yunshu, have you been eating and sleeping well these days?"

"Xu Jinghuai, why do you ask this?"

"Yan Yunshu, you look very good, like a hibiscus flower." Xu Jinghuai blushed as he said this. This was the first time he praised someone's appearance.

"Of course. I'm the richest man in the Prime Minister's Mansion now, so naturally I eat well and sleep well."

"Yan Yunshu, you like money."

“Who doesn’t like money?”

"Give."

Xu Jinghuai took out a handful of silver bills from his pocket and handed them to Yan Yunshu.

Yan Yunshu was stunned. She looked at the banknotes and then looked at Xu Jinghuai in disbelief. "Xu Jinghuai, are you crazy?"

Xu Jinghuai said expressionlessly, "I have too much of this stuff. I don't like it, but you happen to like it, so I'll give it all to you."

Yan Yunshu quickly took the banknotes and counted them carefully, "Xu Jinghuai, don't regret it."

Xu Jinghuai, "There are more at home."

"what?"

"Xu Jinghuai, are you serious about giving it to me?" Yan Yunshu was surprised. "I took it just for fun!"

As she spoke, Yan Yunshu grabbed Xu Jinghuai's collar and was about to stuff the stack of banknotes into his clothes.

Xu Jinghuai spun around and brought Yan Yunshu into the compartment. He closed the door and grabbed Yan Yunshu's hand.

"Yan Yunshu, what are you doing with your hands?"

Yan Yunshu paused, only then realizing that she had already put her hand into his arms.

Ah... this is so embarrassing...

"Yan Yunshu, just say what you want. I don't disagree." Xu Jinghuai smiled evilly, folded the banknote and put it in Yan Yunshu's other hand.

Yan Yunshu's hand hesitated for a moment, then came out quickly.

"Oh, I just saw a bug crawling into your clothes, so..."

"Yan Yunshu, I saw it too. It's not just one bug, it's multiple bugs. Please help me take a closer look."

"Really?" Yan Yunshu quickly put the banknotes away, then put her hands around his collar and looked at it carefully.

"I didn't see anything!"
