The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

In the bedroom, Sun Jinren had just blown out the candles in the room when there were sudden knocks on the door.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. The crisp sound was particularly harsh in the quiet night. Sun Jinren frowned slightly and said in a slightly impatient voice, "Who is it?"

"Master, it's me." Butler Zhou's voice came from outside, hurried and low.

Sun Jinren felt a pang of displeasure, feeling that this late-night interruption was unnecessary, but he still opened the door. It creaked open, and he saw the excited butler Zhou. His forehead was slightly sweaty, and he looked pale, as if he had been running all the way.

"Butler Zhou? Why are you here so late at night? What's going on?"

"Oh, sir!" The butler gasped, his elbows resting on the door frame, looking extremely embarrassed. "A carriage arrived at the door, and a man and a woman got out of the carriage..."

He paused, adjusted his breathing slightly, his eyes flickering with a hint of nervousness and anticipation. Obviously, he ran over to report the situation.

Sun Jinren raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. "Can you please straighten your tongue before you speak? You're saying half the truth, which is even more disturbing. What are a man and a woman doing at the Sun residence in the middle of the night? Are they here to cause trouble?"

“No, no, no,” the housekeeper waved his hand, “I’m checking in.”

"Check in!?" Sun Jinren laughed in anger. "Do you think this is a place for me to stay overnight? Just find someone to kick me out right away."

"No, Master..." The housekeeper finally stopped breathing: "I heard from the servants that the woman claimed to be Jiang Yingxue, your granddaughter."

"What? You mean Yingxue is back?" Sun Jinren's voice suddenly rose, his face full of shock and disbelief.

At the same time as he screamed, his wife lying in bed was immediately awakened and sat up: "Is it really my darling granddaughter who has returned? Let's go and see! We must go and see!"

After nightfall, the temperature always gets cooler. At the gate of the Sun Mansion, Jiang Yingxue couldn't help but shiver.

She looked up and found an old woman in her sixties walking towards her quickly with a lantern in her hand.

"Old lady, walk slower! Watch your step!" the housekeeper called nervously from behind, but the old lady obviously didn't hear and walked faster and faster.

"My dear! Is my dear coming to Liangzhou to visit grandma?"

Jiang Yingxue's heart trembled, and she instantly recognized that this was her grandmother. She rushed into the house and hugged the old lady: "Grandma! I missed you so much!"

"Oh, dear, grandma misses you too. Let grandma see what you look like now~"

After saying this, the old lady held up Jiang Yingxue's face, looking left and right, her eyes full of love and pity: "My darling is getting more and more beautiful as she grows older, and she's also grown a lot taller. You also said you missed grandma, how many years has it been since you came back?"

"That's right." Sun Jinren, standing beside her, raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of amusement on his face. "And why are you only concerned with calling her grandma? What about me?"

Jiang Yingxue quickly grabbed Sun Jinren's sleeve and started to act coquettishly, her voice soft and sticky: "Oh, Grandpa~ I miss you too~"

Sun Jinren raised his chin, a satisfied smile on his lips: "That's more like it. By the way, are you alone? Where are your father and mother?"

"They didn't come. Only my senior brother and I came this time." Jiang Yingxue said obediently.

"Your senior brother?" Sun Jinren turned his gaze to Yan Chuan in confusion, a look of scrutiny flashing in his eyes. "You mean him?"

"Yes."

"What's going on, senior brother?" Sun Jinren asked puzzledly.

"This is a long story. How about we go inside first? It's cold outside. You two must not catch a cold."

"Okay, okay, then let's go into the inner room first."

After saying that, Sun Jinren led everyone to the hall in his courtyard and asked his servants to prepare some food, for fear that his beloved grandson would be hungry.

The two of them ate the bird's nest obediently at the table, while Sun Jinren and his wife stared at Yan Chuan from the side of the hall. They looked at him for a long time, and then started to discuss in a low voice.

"Old man, this so-called senior brother couldn't be the man that Guaibao likes, right? Moreover, his daughter and son-in-law didn't even show up, and he ran off to Liangzhou in the middle of the night with a man... Do you think they eloped?"

Sun Jinren frowned, "You're not without reason. Besides, this man has a handsome face and a delicate expression. He's the type who relies on his looks to hook up with young girls. Our little darling must have been deceived by him!"

Having said that, the two could no longer sit still and walked directly to the table. Each of them pulled out a chair and sat down.

Seeing this, Jiang Yingxue slowly swallowed the bird's nest in her mouth and blinked in confusion: "Grandpa and grandma, what's going on?"

Sun Jinren frowned, took a deep breath, and then asked, "My dear, tell me honestly, did you two elope to Liangzhou?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Chuan nearly spit out the bird's nest in his mouth. He quickly swallowed it, then pulled out a jade token from his bosom, marking him as an inner disciple of the Xianyun Sect. "Hello, both of you. It's all my fault for not introducing myself that you two elders misunderstood. I am the eldest disciple of the Xianyun Sect's First Peak, and also Jiang Yingxue's senior brother."

"Xianyun Sect!?" The two elders said in unison, delighted: "My dear, you actually went there to practice?"

So Jiang Yingxue had to tell the two old men about how she almost lost her life, went to Xianyun Sect, became a disciple, took the soul-restoring pill, and practiced the Lanxu Gong method to strengthen her body.

Sun Jinren clapped his hands in applause, "So that's how it is! I knew my darling, with his single, supreme spiritual root, would definitely not have a short life! You've reached the Qi Refining stage now, so you can live to be at least a hundred years old! The Xianyun Sect is great, the Xianyun Sect is great! Oh, and you're the eldest brother, right? You're just waiting."

After saying that, Sun Jinren suddenly went back to his room and fiddled around for a while, then took out a bag of banknotes. "Come on, big brother, I'm just a businessman with a lot of money on me. My little darling still needs your care and support in the sect. Take this money, it's a small token of our Sun family's appreciation."

"No, no, old man, I can't accept it." Yan Chuan quickly waved his hand to refuse: "Yingxue is very good. She won first place in the sect in the first round of the competition. And when we went on our first mission, it was thanks to her that we completed it smoothly. It can't be said that she took care of us, but she has been helping us all the time. I can't accept this money."

"Really? My sweet baby is so amazing!" The old man was overjoyed when he heard it: "Then I must accept it. I am happy today, you must accept it!"

Seeing the two of them trying to shirk responsibility, Jiang Yingxue simply snatched the purse away and said, "Since neither of you wants it, why not just give it to me."

Yan Chuan nodded: "Yeah, why not give it directly to Junior Sister."

The old man laughed twice and said, "Okay, okay, I'll give it to you. I'll pack you a bigger one later."

"Thank you, Grandpa~" Jiang Yingxue continued to eat the bird's nest contentedly.
