"It's all thanks to the doctor that grandfather hired for me. My granddaughter is fully recovered." Ye Jinsu said with a smile.
The old lady nodded and held Ye Jinsu's hand, "You don't need to blame us. We didn't know either. "What about you, girl? You're acting too rashly, no matter what, you're from a big family, and should act like a lady from a big family."
"Fighting like that is definitely not something we can do. We are martial artists, so if word of this spreads out, it will make people laugh." The old lady said solemnly.
Ye Jinsu knelt down obediently, "Grandmother's teachings, granddaughter will remember. Granddaughter will never dare to blame Grandmother."
Seeing Ye Jinsu's obedient appearance, the old granny smiled and said, "Alright, you can accompany me. My wife is a bit tired, I almost have to sleep for a while."
The old lady didn't stay for long as she lay down on the bed.
Ye Jinsu nodded and retreated, with Shui Sang leading the way at the side. The Old Master also came out and stood under the same porch as Ye Jinsu.
Ye Jinsu bowed and said her goodbyes, "Your granddaughter will take her leave first."
The Old Master waved his hand to indicate that he was not anxious. Then, he looked at Shui Sang and left with the girl beside him.
Ye Jinsu and the Old Master were the only ones left in the corridor.
The Old Master glanced at Ye Jinsu and suddenly asked, "Were you the one who did that?"
"I did it." Ye Jinsu didn't plan to hide it.
The Old Master turned his head and looked at Ye Jinsu in surprise, but soon disappeared. This was not unexpected as Ye Jinxiu had already sent him a message. However, Ye Jinsu was still 14 years old, so she was able to do this alone.
It still exceeded the Old Master's expectations.
After a long period of silence, the Old Master asked again, "How did you do it?"
"How did you save Hong Yu and the other two? How did you hide them? How did you make them listen to you? "
Rather than believing that Ye Jinsu truly had this ability, the Old Master believed that someone had secretly helped her.
"I didn't save the three of them." She had already prepared her speech. Now that she looked at the bright sun shining from outside, she spoke as if she was sighing with emotion, "Perhaps my mother was protecting me in the dark. I didn't save them."
"They escaped, and I accidentally discovered them."
"I had to spend a lot of effort to hide them. It was a narrow escape, otherwise they wouldn't have had wounds on their necks."
"As for why you said that they would listen to me," Ye Jinsu laughed, "Since they are already at this stage, they can only listen to me."
There was nothing wrong with his explanation.
Ye Jinsu raised her head and looked at the old man who was taller than her and said softly, "It wasn't easy for me to live in this mansion. If I wasn't forced to such an extent, no one would be willing to be a reckless person."
The words that the Old Master wanted to say choked in his throat. The Old Master swallowed a few times with difficulty. The girl in front of him was clearly a child, but her eyes held the maturity of a different child.
He had lost the innocence and purity of a child.
This was something that the Old Master was most moved by. His Adam's apple bobbed, and the Old Master sighed deeply.
Ye Jinsu opened her eyes and looked at the Old Master, quietly saying, "I'm only fourteen years old, not even old yet. If there's a chance, who wouldn't be like Miss Si Xiang, a carefree person?"
Upon hearing the word 'Si Xiang', the Old Master's pupils shrank.
What he and the old lady loved the most was the naïveté look of Si Xiang, possessing the purest and most beautiful things in the world.
One couldn't help but want to protect him.
However, Ye Jinxiu was different. She was like an extremely mixed jar with a variety of colors, and the smell was strong and pungent. However, it was also a gorgeous color. Wherever it went, it left a deep imprint that was enough to attract everyone's gazes. Even though she was wearing simple clothes now, they were unable to cover up the strength that was being emitted from her body.
She was a dyed silk, with bright red dye dripping from her tears.
Shining brightly in the sunlight. Dazzling.
The words he had thought of became difficult to speak. The Old Master opened and closed his mouth, and then fell silent for a long time.
"You are the daughter of the Ye Clan. Take care of yourself." The heavens were looking at Ye Jinsu as he spoke.
In the end, he only said one sentence of consolation, and it was as if he repeated it a thousand times.
Ye Jinsu smiled, her eyes revealing a hint of purity, "Thank you, grandfather, for your concern."
The Old Master was stunned for a moment, his heart filled with emotion.
In the end, she was still a child. Just a few words of comfort was enough to make her feel gratified. There was also a moment of purity when the Old Master shook his head and turned to leave.
Her granddaughter.
As a granddaughter, he couldn't bear to see her.
However, as the Old Master of the Ye Clan, he had to be careful of her.
What should he do?
After returning to the courtyard, Ye Jinsu could no longer bear to put down her formality and her respectful expression. With a sore back and waist, Ye Jinsu hit her waist and pulled out all the hairpins on her head that she didn't like. Only then did she feel a lot better.
Meng Lan quickly poured a cup of cold tea and squeezed Ye Jinsu's shoulder.
"Miss, are we going again tonight?" Meng Lan asked tentatively. Originally, she was supposed to bring medicinal food to the old lady, but at this moment, it was obvious that Ye Jinsu didn't like that place.
After drinking it all in one gulp, Ye Jinsu collapsed on the bed with a headache.
After a moment of silence, Ye Jinsu opened her eyes and looked at the canopy above her, but no one knew what she was thinking.
"You say that living is tiring. You clearly know that the other party doesn't like people like you, but you still have to curry favor with them." Ye Jinsu curled her lips. She couldn't help but rub her temples when she thought of this.
Her journey to the old lady's this afternoon had exhausted her energy.
She was cautious in pretending to be a sensible granddaughter in front of the old lady, and she was trembling with fear in front of the Old Master to fool him with her questions and probing him.
Now she was impressed with Si Xiang. She lived under the same roof with the old lady every day, so she could act that way every day.
Unexpectedly, not a single flaw was revealed.
Ye Jinshu secretly sighed at his own lack of skill, laughed at himself, and then sat up from the bed.
"Go, why not?"
After all, he couldn't just give up halfway through his speech.
She would never be able to win the trust of the Old Granny and the Old Master in a person like Si Xiang, but at least she could avoid two powerful enemies.
The Old Master and Old Granny had similar tastes, they didn't like people with schemes.
However, Ye Jinsu couldn't pretend to be that kind of person.
What did she mean? The Old Master had his eyes on her, and if he continued to act innocent and pretend to be ignorant, no one would believe him.
He could only act pitifully in front of them and pretend to be an obedient granddaughter.
Thinking of this, Ye JinSu rubbed her head, allowing Meng Lan to change out of her complicated clothes. Closing his eyes, Ye Jinsu curled up into a ball and wanted nothing more than to fall asleep.
You lied to me, I lied to you. That was how the fake feelings in the House of Ye were maintained.
Ye Jinsu lifted her eyelids sleepily. She was truly tired.
