Zhan Xuan was the first to get off the carriage and reached out to help him out.

When the gatekeeper saw Zhan Xuan, he didn't recognize him for a moment because of his appearance.

He only spoke to Ye Li: "Master Li, I can't let you into the mansion, because the lady has previously ordered that you are not allowed to set foot in the mansion again. I dare not disobey the order!"

Ye Li nodded: "I won't make it difficult for you, just go in and let me know, I can wait!"

The butler quickly turned around and left, soon disappearing from sight.

Zhan Xuan said distressedly: "Ye Li, you shouldn't suffer such injustice!"

Ye Li smiled bitterly: "In order to see my grandmother, I can endure any grievance. It's just that it's hard for Boss Xuan to wait outside with me!"

Zhan Xuan patted his shoulder: "Good brothers, we should share the joys and sorrows!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the eldest son of the mansion, Ye Qian, hurried over.

His handsome face was filled with undisguised joy: "Boss Xuan, A Li, you are here?"

Ye Li bowed respectfully: "Hello, big brother!"

Ye Qian grabbed his wrist and said, "Don't be so polite, good boy. You've grown taller and stronger after your trip to the military camp!"

Ye Li smiled shyly: "Thank you for the compliment, big brother. I heard that my grandmother is sick. I really want to go see her. Is that okay?"

A complex expression flashed across Ye Qian's face. He murmured hoarsely, "Grandma hardly recognizes me now. You have to be mentally prepared!"

Ye Li nodded heavily: "I understand!"

When the three of them arrived at the old lady's yard, they heard someone inside the house admonishing them, "Old lady, please open your mouth and drink a mouthful of porridge. If you keep on eating like this, you might not even see Young Master Li come to see you!"

Ye Li was shocked and immediately pushed the door open.

He saw a thin figure lying on the bed, her snow-white hair spread out on the brocade pillow, looking extremely pitiful.

Tears immediately fell from his eyes, and he stumbled forward and shouted, "Grandma, your unfilial grandson Ye Li has returned to visit you!"

Madam Ye's eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened. She tilted her head with difficulty, her bloodless lips moving continuously: "Ali, my dear Ali, are you really back?"

Ye Li knelt in front of her and sobbed, "It's me, Grandma. I miss you so much. Why are you so sick?"

Madam Ye reached out and touched his head: "Silly child, don't cry. In this life, everyone has to go through birth, old age, sickness and death. God has shown me great mercy by allowing me to see you before I die!"

Ye Li shook his head vigorously: "No, you won't die, Grandma, eat something quickly. Only when you are full will you have strength!"

He took the bowl of porridge and scooped some into Mrs. Ye's mouth with a spoon.

A smile appeared on Old Madam Ye's face, and she murmured hoarsely, "I can finally wait for the meat porridge that Li'er feeds me!"

Ye Li quickly said, "Grandma, as long as you don't mind, I will feed you porridge every day until you recover your health!"

Old Madam Ye didn't say anything, but opened her mouth and drank up the meat porridge he fed her.

After a while, she shook her head and said, "I can't eat anymore. Grandma is really full this time!"

The old nanny standing nearby was practically crying with joy. She said happily, "Master Li, thanks to you, the old lady hasn't eaten a grain of rice in days. No matter who persuades her, she refuses to listen. She can only rely on drinking ginseng soup to stay alive!"

Zhan Xuan's expression suddenly changed, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

Ye Li turned around and put the bowl of porridge back on the table, then took a clean handkerchief to help Old Madam Ye wipe her mouth.

She spoke vaguely: "Li'er, tell grandma, have you ever been wronged in the Northwest Military Camp?"

Ye Li answered decisively: "No, Boss Xuan and Prince Xie took good care of me, and we even made a contribution, forcing the barbarian soldiers to retreat far away from the border. Grandmother, do you think I am outstanding?"

Madam Ye was immediately cheered up. She said with satisfaction, "Excellent! My Li'er is truly excellent. This is the news that Grandma has been waiting for all these days!"

Ye Qian, who was standing at the door, frowned. His grandmother hadn't spoken for a long time, and he and his mother thought she was too sick to speak.

It turned out that it was not the case, but she just refused to say it.

I guess she loves Ye Li very much in her heart, right?

He took Zhan Xuan out, not wanting to disturb the reunion of Ye Li and Old Madam Ye.

The two of them came to the pavilion outside, and Ye Qian spoke first: "Boss Xuan, thank you for taking care of Ye Li. If you hadn't been by his side, with his temper, I'm afraid he would have been bullied!"

Zhan Xuan rolled his eyes at him: "He is my little follower, who should I protect if I don't protect him?"

A complicated look flashed in Ye Qian's eyes. Ye Li was obviously his biological brother.

But his reliance and trust in Zhan Xuan, an outsider, actually exceeded that in his own brother.

He sighed helplessly: "Zhan Xuan, please help me explain to Ye Li, I have no choice, I have to support the Ye family of the Duke's Mansion!"

Zhan Xuan spoke without hesitation: "He never blamed you. Even when he was kicked out of the house, he didn't have any resentment towards you, or even your mother!"

Ye Qian was about to say something when he heard a sudden burst of intense crying from inside the house: "Grandma, Grandma, please open your eyes quickly, you were obviously fine before!"

The two looked at each other and quickly ran into the house.

I saw that Madam Ye had closed her eyes peacefully, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, and she passed away with joy and relief.

Zhan Xuan stepped forward and grabbed Ye Li's arm and said, "Grandmother passed away after seeing you for the last time. You don't need to be sad or blame yourself!"

Ye Li couldn't stop crying. He clenched a hairpin tightly in his hand and refused to let go.

When Madam Ye came out of the Buddhist temple after hearing the news, she could hardly stand.

She threw herself on the side of Old Madam Ye's bed and cried, "Why did you abandon me? How embarrassed are you making me feel?"

Ye Qian stepped forward to comfort her: "Mother, you are the pillar of the family, and you still have to take care of your grandmother's funeral. Please take care of yourself!"

Madam Ye grabbed his arm tightly and said, "Ye Qian, your grandmother is blaming me. She has always blamed me for not teaching you well!"

Ye Li knew what she meant, and she was still brooding over the scene she saw that day.

She never forgave him!

If that's the case, then why should he stay and cause trouble?

He kowtowed three times to Old Madam Ye stubbornly, then stood up and walked out quickly.

Ye Qian subconsciously chased out the door: "Ali, where are you going?"

Ye Li replied hoarsely, "Brother, I've already said goodbye to my grandmother. From now on, I'll miss her in my heart. I'll trouble you with all the household matters!"

After saying that, he left quickly without looking back.
