"He is indeed the best master in the world, his reputation is well-deserved."

Jiang Jiu swallowed hard and reached out to support Lu Yunyang.

Lu Yunyang took a deep breath, his breath barely escaping: "I'm fine, I'm not going to die yet."

Jiang Jiu's face was full of surprise: "You are really powerful. You have fought so many moves with him. You are really good at hiding your true strength."

Lu Yunyang, who received the compliment, pulled a wry smile from the corner of his mouth: "Thank you for the compliment, I clearly feel that you like him a little more."

Jiang Jiu said sincerely, "Of course. He's handsome and good at martial arts. Even though he's not Jiang Yao's favorite, I still feel like there's something very ambiguous between them. Otherwise, how could a man with such high martial arts skills be willing to stay with a woman for twenty years?"

Jiang Jiu then asked Lu Yunyang, "If I die, will you remain a virgin for me for twenty years?"

Before Lu Yunyang could answer, Zhao Li behind him said something in a deep voice.

"I can do it too."

Jiang Jiu smiled a little awkwardly, but became more and more curious about the relationship between Ye Guzhou and Jiang Yao.

"Let's go inside, have some tea, and rest for a while. We can soak in the hot spring later."

Jiang Jiu wanted to support Lu Yunyang, but Lu Yunyang took a moment to adjust his breathing, coughed heavily a few times, and pushed Jiang Jiu away.

"I'm not as weak as you think. Let's go."

Seeing Lu Yunyang pretending to be cheerful, Jiang Jiu couldn't help but curl his lips: "You are suffering for your life because of your stubbornness. I am not laughing at you, so why are you forcing yourself to stay calm?"

The three of them sat facing each other on the balcony with a beautiful view.

The maid brought snacks and tea again.

After looking for a long time, Jiang Jiu felt hungry. He took a bite of the snack, which turned out to be ordinary osmanthus cake. He then drank a sip of tea, which was Longjing tea before the rain. The combination was delicious.

It’s just that the osmanthus cake was too greasy, so she only ate one piece and then stopped.

"This is her favorite tea and snack."

The three of them sat for a long time before Ye Guzhou spoke softly.

Jiang Jiu took a sip of tea and cleared his throat. "Senior Ye, I want to ask you a few questions about Jiang Yao. I wonder if you can answer them?"

Ye Guzhou took a sip of tea elegantly and sternly corrected Jiang Jiu: "Jiang Yao is your grandmother, you can't call her by her name."

Jiang Jiu raised his eyebrows, somewhat disapproving, but Lu Yunyang smiled and explained for Jiang Jiu.

"That's just her personality. She doesn't respect hierarchy. She even calls me, the prince, by my name."

Unexpectedly, Ye Guzhou did not blame Jiang Jiu anymore, but instead smiled.

"So is she."

The world is so big, isn't everyone equal?

Although Jiang Yao is Jiang Jiu's grandmother in this era, in modern times, it is not certain who is older.

Jiang Jiu blinked curiously: "Senior Ye, how did you meet her? How did she die? Can you tell me her story?"

Ye Guzhou was silent, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, looking into the distance with a faint gaze.

Just when Jiang Jiu was getting impatient, Ye Guzhou finally spoke.

"That year, I was seven years old and still a beggar..."

Jiang Yao was seventeen at that time and had already been married. When she saw that he was handsome, she took him home and asked a martial arts master to teach him kung fu.

Jiang Jiu asked curiously, "Who did she marry? Why don't they mention my grandfather's name?"

Ye Guzhou sighed heavily: "I haven't seen him either. When I met the master, she was already a widow, but she didn't indulge in sorrow. She was busy every day."

Jiang Yao has a talent for business. She refines glass, extracts sugar and fine salt, makes soap, rouge, etc. She started from a small shop and gradually made it bigger and stronger.

Jiang Jiu quickly caught the loophole in Ye Guzhou's words.

"My grandfather died early, so how did my mother come about? Aunt Qian said that my mother was born when my grandmother was in her twenties. Who is my mother's father?"

Ye Guzhou didn't say anything, his deep eyes made Jiang Jiu's curious heart wrinkle.

"I don't know either. She was kidnapped and disappeared for half a month. When I found her, she was in a cave and was unconscious."

Jiang Jiu's heart skipped a beat: "Ah? Who kidnapped her?"

Ye Guzhou lowered his eyes and clenched his fists tightly. It can be seen that he seemed to be trying his best to endure something.

"I don't know. She didn't tell me, and she wouldn't let me investigate. Ten months later, she gave birth to your mother."

Jiang Jiu's mind was full of thoughts. Usually, women who traveled through time would encounter royal relatives and nobles. Jiang Yao was so powerful, so she must have met someone she couldn't afford to offend, which was why she stopped Ye Guzhou from taking revenge.

"and after."

Ye Guzhou restrained his emotions and returned to his calm and indifferent state.

"Later, she took your mother on a long journey across the country and opened shops there. She was very happy during those days, especially since she made a lot of money, especially glass, which became an exclusive supply to the royal family."

"It's just that her attitude towards your mother has always been cold."

It seems that Jiang Yao has started to develop her career during this period.

"Later, when your mother grew up, she met a man who turned out to be the late emperor's third prince. For some reason, she strongly opposed their relationship and even ordered me to kill the third prince."

"Ah? So you really killed him?" Jiang Jiu exclaimed and looked at Lu Yunyang in disbelief.

Even if it were integrated into ancient times, not everyone would have the courage to kill a prince.

Ye Guzhou nodded, then shook his head.

At this moment, Lu Yunyang stood up suddenly, drew his sword, and faced Ye Guzhou.

"Did you kill my third brother?"

Jiang Jiu was stunned: "Your third brother?"

Lu Yunyang: "My brother is more than twenty years older than me. I am the youngest and have the best relationship with my third brother. If he hadn't died suddenly, he would be the emperor now."

Jiang Jiu was confused. It seemed that the grudges between the previous generation were very deep.

"I think if he really was the prince's murderer, he wouldn't be sitting here now."

Sure enough, Lu Yunyang thought about it and it was true, and everyone at that time concluded that the third prince had committed suicide.

Ye Guzhou glanced at Jiang Jiu calmly and said, "I didn't kill him. He committed suicide. He knew I was the master's man. When he saw me, I wanted to kill him, but he asked me a few questions and then committed suicide."

Jiang Jiu's heart suddenly rose to his throat: "What did he ask?"

Ye Guzhou: "He asked, is she okay?"

Ye Guzhou is Jiang Yao's bodyguard, so the Third Prince naturally knows him. His appearance represents Jiang Yao's appearance.

Ye Guzhou nodded and replied: "She is very good, but now she has sent me to kill you."

The Third Prince was shocked: "Why?"

Ye Guzhou took out a golden lock and said, "Because of this..."

Unexpectedly, when Ye Guzhou took out the golden lock, the third prince opened his eyes wide in shock, and after a moment, he hit his head against the pillar and died.

After Ye Guzhou finished speaking, Jiang Jiu was shocked, and Lu Yunyang was also shocked.

Lu Yunyang asked: "Why?"

Ye Guzhou shook his head gently: "I don't know either. After I left the palace, I heard that she was not in good health, so I came back here and stayed with her. Who knew that she would pass away soon after."

"Before she died, she asked me to give your mother a dragon-shaped jade pendant, but she also told me that if your mother insisted on staying in the capital, I would temporarily take charge of the small boat. If your mother was willing to leave her father behind and return to Su City, these things would still be hers."

"But I didn't expect that less than half a year later, she would be gone, and you... also disappeared..."
