"It hurts! Boss, please go easy on me!"

"Say it!"

"But I've been out there doing things for the boss lately. I don't know any more about what's going on in the building than you do! Boss, you should grab Xiaoyuer's ears and ask him! I guarantee that Xiaoyuer knows for sure!"

"..."

Lin Yuan immediately looked at Lin Yu beside him.

Lin Yu immediately covered his ears and stepped back, "I, I, I do know, but Sanniang told us to keep it a secret from the boss for as long as possible..."

Lin Yuan frowned, "Sanniang has never hidden anything from me."

"Things are different now. Now that you're with the young lady, Sanniang said you can't hide anything from her. Once you know, the young lady will know right away. But the play 'The Villain' was written by Sanniang on a whim after she left the capital that day. She wasn't sure if it would achieve the effect she expected, so she asked us to keep it secret from you. If the play doesn't make any waves after it's rehearsed, there's no need to let the young lady know. On the contrary, if it does, the young lady will know sooner or later, so a few days' delay won't make a difference."

"So... after Sanniang left the capital that day, she stayed outside the city for quite a while?"

"Well, I only stayed for two days..."

"!!!"

Two days!

Given Sanniang's physical condition at the time, there would have been great risks if she had delayed finding that miracle doctor even a day!

She was delayed for two days!

And with those two days, it would be great if Sanniang could go and see the young lady in Lijing!

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, and lost control of the strength of his hand that was pulling Lin An's ear, causing Lin An to jump and scream.

Lin Yu was often pulled by Lin Yuan's ears, and he would cover his ears and retreat further away on the spot.

She was afraid that Lin Yuan would not be satisfied with just pulling Lin An's ears, so he would pull her ears too!

Then she heard Lin Yuan gnashing his teeth and saying, "Send a letter to everyone who accompanied Sanniang out of the capital to seek medical treatment. After Sanniang returns, they must all return to Peacock Ridge and seclude themselves for a month! And if anything goes wrong when Sanniang returns, then they should be prepared to live as wild men in Peacock Ridge for the rest of their lives!"

Lin'an suddenly felt that being pulled on the ear didn't hurt at all.

Because last time he was punished to go back to Peacock Ridge to seclude himself for half a month, he almost died in there!

If I have to stay in there for the rest of my life, I might as well just die!

Then, as soon as Lin Yuan loosened his grip on his ear, he nodded hurriedly and said, "I'll prepare the letter right away and have it sent out of the capital today!"

Lin Yuan seemed quite satisfied, nodded and left.

Lin Yu leaned against the door frame to make sure he was far away before going over to Lin An, staring at his red ears and asking, "Does it hurt? Last time the boss pulled my ears, it hurt for several days!"

Lin An shook his head. "I remember the half-month experience last year when the boss punished me to go to Peacock Ridge. I don't feel the pain in my ears anymore!"

Lin Yu instantly recalled his past experiences at Peacock Ridge and clenched his fists in anger. "Boss, he's definitely heartless! He'll never find a wife in his lifetime!"

Lin Yuan, who had already reached the private room where Li Shu was, shrugged his nose, which suddenly felt itchy, and thought to himself that it must be that kid Lin An who was scolding him. It seemed that he didn't hit him hard enough!

In the private room, Yin Wanyu was still telling Li Shu how she and Li Shu's mother met, how they became friends regardless of age difference.

Li Shu listened very carefully.

I was also very surprised.

She couldn't believe that her mother had met the Grand Princess when she was only seven or eight years old, and then became a close friend with the Grand Princess regardless of age difference.

When she was seven or eight years old, she would often hide behind her brothers and cry.

But the eldest princess said that her mother was already mature and looked like an adult when she was seven or eight years old.

only……

She had an inexplicable feeling that the Grand Princess had only told her some trivial matters, and hadn't told her the true story that had brought them together...

Who would have thought that just as she finished thinking this, Yin Wanyu stopped talking, looked at her and smiled, then said: "I did tell you some insignificant things. When the time is right, I will tell you everything I know without reservation."

Li Shu was secretly surprised.

Because she thought she had concealed it very well, but unexpectedly, she was completely seen through by the Grand Princess!

Looks like she needs more practice!

Then she asked, "When will the time be right?"

Yin Wanyu smiled and didn't answer her question. Instead, she got straight to the point. "For some reason, your mother stopped communicating with me after she grew up. She only sent some gifts to my house during the holidays. Before she passed away, she sent something to my house once. That was the most she had sent in all those years, and she also attached a very thick letter. At the end of the letter, she asked me to protect you for her if you were alone and helpless. I think you are in that situation right now, so I would like to adopt you as my granddaughter. I wonder if you are willing?"

"Of course I am willing..."

Li Shu felt a little confused.

She was certain that her mother, like her, had some miraculous experience that had given her a clue of her future, and had then made many arrangements for her.

And her intuition told her that the Grand Princess knew everything.

So she really wanted to get to the bottom of it right now.

But the Grand Princess's attitude told her that even if she asked now, she would not tell her.

So she secretly gathered her emotions, stood up, went to Yin Wanyu and knelt down, "A-Li greets Grandmother."

"Good boy, get up quickly."

As Yin Wanyu spoke, she extended her hand towards Li Shu.

After Li Shu stood up and put her hand on hers, she slid the emerald jade bracelet, which was almost two fingers wide, onto Li Shu's wrist.

Li Shu immediately said, "Grandma, this is not allowed. This bracelet is..."

But Yin Wanyu interrupted her, "You have fair skin. This bracelet looks much better on you than on an old woman like me! You have to wear it all the time, okay?"

"Yes……"

"good."

Yin Wanyu patted the back of Li Shu's hand and continued, "I've already set a date to officially adopt you as my goddaughter, and I've already sent out the invitations. On that day, I'll have Yaofang go to the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion to pick you up."

Li Shu nodded, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Grandma."

Yin Wanyu smiled and shook her head. "I've been too idle these past few years, living in a daze all day long. Now that I finally have something to do, I can't contain my joy."

Li Shu didn't know what to say in response.

After all, they were not familiar with each other before.

Then Yin Wanyu suddenly changed the subject, "Come to think of it, when I went to the palace to see the Queen a few days ago for some trivial matters, I saw that both the Queen and Feiyun were not in good spirits. Now that you are feeling better, why don't you go to the palace to see Feiyun?"
