Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

After seeing off Ye Chaoyang and others, Li Tianze and Leng Youran stood in the yard. They had been back for a long time, and they had heard almost all the conversations between Mr. Fan and the other three.

Leng Youran had always known that many things were definitely not as simple as the old man said, but she had never expected it to be so complicated, even...

"So your grandfather didn't die of illness?"

Li Tianze shook his head slightly, "Well, no, he was poisoned."

Poisoning?

Leng Youran had already guessed that this poison must be related to Mr. Fan.

Li Tianze walked towards the hall, "Don't blame yourself. Grandfather said that you were used by someone back then. The poisoning was not your fault. He doesn't blame you."

Li Tianze's deep voice, without a trace of emotion, brought Mr. Fan back to his senses.

Mr. Fan raised his head with tears in his eyes, stood up tremblingly and stretched out his hands.

He staggered a few steps before reaching Li Tianze's side.

"Sorry, kid, I'm sorry!"

Li Tianze's face was expressionless, and his tone remained calm, "Grandfather once said that you two were close friends. He doesn't regret making friends with you. He only hopes that you will have a happy and healthy life in your later years."

Mr. Fan lowered his head in shame. Every time he saw Li Tianze these days, he felt full of self-blame.

If the people who were chasing him had not told him the story themselves, Li would not have known that the old man had done such a wrong thing.

He was an excellent doctor and had prescribed medicine for Old Man Li when he was unwell. However, Qin Zhaohai took the opportunity to put a chronic poison in the medicine he gave to Old Man Li.

Old Man Li, who was originally very cautious, took the poison that was delivered to his door because he trusted him.

This was something he would never be able to let go of.

It was not his intention, but it indirectly cost Old Man Li's life.

Thinking of this, Mr. Fan's body began to tremble uncontrollably, and then he fainted.

Fortunately, Li Tianze was quick to act and supported him.

Leng Youran had been standing behind the two of them. He quickly stepped forward, took out the spiritual spring water from his waist and gave it to Mr. Fan to drink a few sips.

Old Fan slowly woke up and saw Li Tianze stretching out his old hand, trying to touch his face, but Li Tianze dodged it.

Li Tianze didn't blame him, but he was indeed the one who indirectly killed his grandfather. He could never get over this. He didn't hate him, but he couldn't act as if nothing had happened.

He turned his head away from looking at Mr. Fan and instead looked at Mr. Leng, "Grandpa, I'll leave Mr. Fan to your care."

Old Man Leng understood the distress in his heart. He could be said to be the child raised by Old Man Li. Compared with his parents, Old Man Li meant more to him, so he inevitably felt a little uncomfortable when facing Old Man Fan.

This was also the reason why he brought Mr. Fan back but did not reveal Mr. Fan's identity to him.

He took a step forward and supported Mr. Fan, who was half dragging him, and said, "Good boy, go back and rest!"

Li Tianze nodded slightly, stood up, turned around and walked out of the yard.

Leng Youran looked at his lonely back, feeling an inexplicable emotion in her heart.

Old Master Leng also noticed that his granddaughter was worried about Li Tianze, and said, "Ran'er, go see Li off. Your grandmother and I are here."

Leng Youran nodded and chased after him.

When Leng Youran caught up with Li Tianze, she saw that his eyes were red and tears were glistening in his eyes.

"How about we go for a walk over to the city wall?" Leng Youran could feel his sadness. She didn't know the whole story and didn't know how to persuade him, but she just wanted to be with him now.

After all, it was hard for her not to feel sorry for Li Tianze.

Li Tianze did not refuse and walked towards the city wall with Leng Youran.

The two of them arrived at the city wall, found a quiet place, and sat cross-legged on the edge of the wall.

"You and your grandfather have a deep bond!"

The two were silent for a long time before Leng Youran said this.

"Yes, I have been raised by my grandfather since I was a child. He taught me riding and shooting, reading and writing, and how to behave in society. It can be said that all the people in my family combined are not as important as my grandfather in my heart." Li Tianze lowered his head, tears streaming from his eyes.

"I thought I still had a long time to be filial to him."

"I never thought he would leave like that."

"You know what? We didn't collect my grandfather's remains. To this day, I still don't know where they were thrown. Even though he told me that it would be like that, I still blame myself. He was my grandfather, and no one collected his body after he died, and for us..."

Having said this, Li Tianze couldn't continue.

He didn't mean to blame anyone, but he really couldn't accept that the grandfather he had always respected left him like that.

Leng Youran reached out and patted him gently on the back.

He took out a pack of tissues from the space, pulled out one and handed it to him.

"Don't be sad. Let's go to the capital together in a few days to look for it. Maybe we can bring back your grandfather's bones."

Li Tianze raised his head in a trance, his eyes red, "Is it still possible?"

"Let's go and give it a try. Even if we can't find it, you won't have any regrets, right?"

Li Tianze seemed to cheer up all of a sudden.

"Yes, I should give it a try. Perhaps my grandfather's spirit in heaven can bless us to find him." As he said this, he raised his head and looked up at the sky.

Leng Youran also raised her head following his movements.

There were only a few stars in the sky, but the two of them stared at the sky in a daze, as if they were admiring some beautiful scenery, and did not say a word for a long time.

"Have a couple of drinks with me!" Li Tianze suddenly said after a long time.

Leng Youran nodded slightly, and two jugs of wine appeared in his hands.

The two of them drank one pot after another.

This situation was very similar to the night when Li Tianze accompanied Leng Youran.

But this time, the sad protagonist is Li Tianze.

"Thank you, Youyou."

Leng Youran smiled faintly, "I don't know how to comfort people, and I don't know what to say, but I can accompany you, and I am willing to be your listener no matter what time it is."

"Yeah, okay, I'll remember that."

"Okay, let's go back. You must be tired after traveling all day. Go back and rest early."

After saying that, Li Tianze jumped off the edge of the wall first, walked to Leng Youran and stretched out his hand.

Leng Youran hesitated for a moment, then placed her hand in his broad palm.

She seemed to have already decided on him in her heart. If that was the case, why was she still being shy?

The two of them left the city gate hand in hand. Li Tianze accompanied Leng Youran to the gate of Leng Mansion before reluctantly letting go of her hand.

"Come in, I'll leave after you go in."

Leng Youran blushed and nodded, "Okay, good night."

Li Tianze didn't know what good night meant, but he also replied, "Good night."

Leng Youran chuckled and turned to walk towards the mansion.

After walking for a while, Leng Youran turned her head and saw Li Tianze still standing behind the door. She ran over and threw herself into his arms. Before Li Tianze could react, she quickly escaped from his arms.
