Wen Xin took Tan Xingyue’s hand and walked to Yang Jingyan’s bedside. Tan Xingyue, who had just managed to calm down, couldn’t hold back her emotions and started crying instantly.

“Grandma…” Tan Xingyue sobbed, burying her face in her grandmother’s body and crying. Her sorrowful state affected everyone present.

“It’s okay, don’t cry. Grandma is going to reunite with Grandpa. You two need to take care of yourselves!” Grandma’s hand rested on Tan Xingyue’s head, weakly comforting her.

Seeing Yang Jingyan’s condition, Wen Xin knew that this was Yang Jingyan’s final moment of consciousness. She approached and held Yang Jingyan’s withered hands, speaking calmly and gently but firmly.

“Grandma, Uncle and Aunt are on their way. I will take care of Tan Xingyue.

You can rest assured that I will always be by her side, and she won’t be alone. Also, after you go, I’ll send you to be buried with Grandpa. I won’t let you and Grandpa be alone, even if the Su family disagrees. I will find a way to make them agree.”

As Wen Xin finished speaking, tears finally fell from the corners of Yang Jingyan’s eyes. She slowly closed her eyes, and her last breath dissipated into the air.

Sensing that Yang Jingyan had passed away, Tan Xingyue burst into loud cries, tightly hugging her grandmother’s body, and cried her heart out.

Mu Chengxi embraced Wen Xin from behind, gently squeezing her hand that hung by her side. “I’ve already contacted the funeral parlor. Their hearse is on the way and should arrive in about twenty minutes…”

“Okay, let Tan Xingyue cry for a while. I’ll go to Grandma’s room to look and pack up her things.”

Wen Xin glanced at Tan Xingyue, crying hysterically, then turned to Chu Yunxuan standing aside. Chu Yunxuan nodded in understanding.

Wen Xin held Mu Chengxi’s hand and left the ward. As they walked down the corridor, Chen Yian hurriedly approached from a distance.

“Miss Wen, Aunt Yao has almost finished packing up the things. Aunt Yao said that Grandma left a bronze metal box last night, insisting that it must be given to von-‘

“Let’s go and take a look.” Wen Xin’s cold eyes met Chen Yian’s, and her steps unconsciously quickened. She knew that her grandmother’s identity was somewhat special, but since her grandmother didn’t want to talk about it, she didn’t want to ask too much. She respected her grandmother’s choice.

When Wen Xin entered the small courtyard where her grandmother lived, Aunt Yao had already packed everything. Seeing Wen Xin, Aunt Yao burst into tears.

“Miss Wen…” Aunt Yao handed her the bronze box Grandma had entrusted her to give Wen Xin.

“Thank you for taking care of Grandma. You can stay in the sanatorium from now on. Chen Yian will make arrangements for you.”

Wen Xin took the bronze box handed over by Aunt Yao, gently comforting her. There was nothing else she could do for Aunt Yao.

Wen Xin walked towards the room upstairs with one hand holding the bronze box and the other holding Mu Chengxi’s hand.

Entering the room, Wen Xin let go of Mu Chengxi’s hand and said in a calm and mysterious tone, “Help me lock the door.”

Seeing Wen Xin’s nervous and secretive expression, Mu Chengxi furrowed his brows slightly and locked the door as she asked.

His gaze had been fixed on Wen Xin the entire time. He watched Wen Xin take a black clip from somewhere and insert it into the keyhole.

About two minutes passed, and the bronze box in Wen Xin’s hand remained unopened. Mu Chengxi approached her, ready to take the box, but before he could, there was a click, and Wen Xin opened the box herself.

Wen Xin raised an eyebrow at Mu Chengxi, “Though it may seem time-consuming, it’s not beyond my capabilities!”

Seeing Wen Xin’s mood unaffected and her ability to speak so boldly, Mu Chengxi’s initial nervousness eased slightly.

“What’s inside the box?” he asked.

“It’s about Tan Xingyue’s parentage. Her identity is not simple. I’ve been investigating for a long time but couldn’t find out about Uncle Tan’s identity. If I’m not mistaken, Grandma knew about Uncle Tan’s identity.”

As Wen Xin spoke, she took a document folder from the box and carefully unfolded it, taking out several yellowed papers.

Mu Chengxi’s gaze fell on the seal inside the bronze box, and he furrowed his brows slightly. He seemed to recognize the seal.

He reached out and took the seal out of the box. After taking a look, he sighed helplessly. What kind of people were surrounding Wen Xin? Why was this seal here?

Hearing Mu Chengxi’s sigh, Wen Xin looked up at him. She had also finished reading the information about Tan Xingyue’s father’s background.

“I’m also amazed. Why do I keep encountering these kinds of people?”

Wen Xin reached into Mu Chengxi’s pocket, took out a lighter, and casually ignited the documents, throwing them into the bronze box.

“Let Tan Xingyue’s identity remain a secret. She doesn’t need to bear so much.

She just needs to be a little princess by my side.”

Wen Xin glanced at the seal in Mu Chengxi’s hand and lightly lifted the corner of her lips. “If you need this power, you can use it. I don’t want to get involved in this matter. You handle it for me.

Mu Chengxi lazily leaned against the nearby table. ” Does this mean that you’ve learned to rely on me?”

“I guess so. After all, you’re already my man. It’s your duty to help me deal with some troublesome matters.”

Wen Xin stood up, lifted Mu Chengxi’s chin with her finger, tiptoed, and planted a kiss on his lips.

“Next, we still have the matter of the Su family to deal with. It’s quite complicated, and it might be difficult to fulfill Grandma’s wish to be buried with Grandpa…”

Thinking of her grandmother’s dying wish, Wen Xin felt a headache coming on. When Grandpa passed away, Grandma took the initiative to return his ashes to the Su family. But now that Grandma had passed away, she hoped the Su family would be reasonable and allow her to be buried with Grandpa.

“Miss Wen, the funeral parlor’s car has arrived. Let’s go to the funeral parlor together!” Mu Bei hurriedly went upstairs, gently knocking on the tightly closed door. He didn’t know what Wen Xin’s mood was like, so he didn’t want to disturb her rashly.

The door to the room opened from the inside, and Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi stood at the door. Mu Chengxi glanced at Mu Bei and instructed, “Take care of the bronze box on the table and make sure no one sees it.”

“Alright, I’ll take care of it right away.”

After watching Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin leave, Mu Bei walked into the room and glanced at the copper box on the table. He walked forward and casually grabbed a cloth to wrap the box up. Then, he carried the box and left in a hurry..
