The Yang family all had stubborn personalities, father wouldn't listen to grandmother, grandmother definitely wouldn't submit to father's arrangement, father didn't tell grandmother about his ambition, only Cangchang left.
Grandmother patted the edge of the bed. "Good boy, sit over here and talk to Grandmother!"
I did as I was told, sat down next to my grandmother, and put my hand in hers.
Grandmother lowered her eyes and gently stroked the back of my hand with her old hand, sliding it like a feather. Grandmother looked at me with a smile in her eyes. "How did you find out that Second Sister Xue pushed you into the water?"
I thought Grandmother was going to tell me about my father, but Grandmother asked me such a question. I smiled. "However, Second Miss Xue looked at me evasively. The moment I fell into the water, the other misses all surrounded me, leaving Second Miss Xue flustered as she headed towards Eldest Miss. She didn't even notice the tree branches that were scraping against her skirt, and directly broke it." Remembering Second Miss Xue's expression back then, I couldn't help but laugh. In the end, it was Miss Zhong who was entrusted with such a matter by her own mother. How could she dare not comply? If it was Miss Xue who did it, it would probably be foolproof. Was the Xue Family trying to steal the food?
"You have been wronged this time." Grandmother looked annoyed.
"Grandmother is wrong!" Not only did I not lose out, I even gained an advantage! The Xue Clan found a suitable reason for me to wear such a set of troublesome clothes, and even compensated me with such a precious set of clothes! " I didn't mention my confrontation with Miss Xue not only because I didn't want my grandmother to worry about me, but also because I had a good impression of Miss Xue.
"You are a filial child." "Grandmother, infected by my emotions, also laughed, her face filled with boundless gratification." "It's a pity that this family has made a mistake …" He sighed.
"It's not bad to be a bit more ordinary." I squeezed my grandmother's hand. After all that had happened, those competitive hearts were long gone. All I wanted was an arm that I could rely on and a feeling of being close to each other.
"A child of such a young age can see through you." The grandmother became more and more disappointed. "Children understand such simple truths, but" the grandmother stopped talking, and we all understood. After sitting in silence for a while, the grandmother said, "Do you understand what your aunt and uncle are going to do with you?"
I shook my head, roughly guessing, but I still wanted to hear what my grandmother had to say.
"I don't know where your father got the chance to listen to all this bullshit. He's planning to send you to the palace just because he's capable of capturing a dragon and pouncing on a phoenix." Grandmother laughed coldly, "I think he is delusional!" If it was really as easy as he thinks, I think this Emperor would have already changed his identity! " Grandmother always spoke gently, and I was not used to her sarcastic remarks.
"Father must be anxious about the honor of our family." I comforted Grandmother. Grandmother's eyes lit up as she looked at me and said, "Grandmother has lived for such a long time. Your words are the clearest. Even if I were to go now, I would be at ease." A soothing smile spread from her heart to her face, and her grandmother's brows relaxed.
"Unfortunately, you are not a child of my Yang family. This is also good. The Lu family's reputation can implicate you, so you can use it as well." Grandmother straightened up and I helped her up.
"Go call in the red jade." "As soon as I saw that my grandmother's breath was not going well, I untied the front of my grandmother's coat. I tied a knot for her, but she insisted on not letting me." "You should have rested earlier as well. Only now did you recover a bit more." "Yes," I whispered, and called Red Jade and Green Pine in. One helped my grandmother to dress, one helped her to put on her shoes, and another brought hot water to wash my grandmother's face. I helped her to sit in front of my makeup mirror.
Red Jade took my comb and combed her hair. Grandmother opened the drawer and took out the hairpin to look at it, "Although the style is new, the workmanship is a bit lacking. I have some good quality ones there, I'll get Red Jade to send them to you.
I covered my mouth and laughed, "Grandmother, this isn't my jewelry, it's Green Pingping's!"
Hearing this, Grandmother also laughed, "Your little miss actually dotes on you, now even I am starting to tease you!"
"Following Miss is my fortune." Lu Ping stood up and replied with a reddened face. Her words were spoken in a proper manner, and her grandmother nodded in satisfaction.
In the end, Grandmother was already old. After tormenting herself for an entire night, it was difficult to hide the exhaustion on her face. After cleaning up, she returned to her own courtyard accompanied by Hong Yu and the servant woman.
"Miss, you should rest early as well!" After sending my grandmother out of the courtyard, Lu Ping supported me back, to help me rest. I looked at her with a half-smile. "Do you think I can rest in peace?" Lu Ping's face suddenly paled. She suddenly released the hand she was holding on to me.
I sat down on the kang and took a quilt from the kang cabinet and covered myself with it.
"Still not coming out?" I shouted up the stairs, "How long are you going to make things difficult for your sister?" Lushin stood awkwardly ten paces away from me.
"Miss is really a smart person!" A man came down from the top of the bed. It was Lu Ping's elder brother.
"How did Miss find me?" The man asked with a smile, as if he had just played a game of hide and seek.
"Even though you are vigorous, your breathing is too heavy!" I answered with a smile.
The man laughed out loud, "To be honest, my lady, your room is quite spacious. Only a bed can hide a person, so I have to take a deep breath." His smile was filled with the righteousness of a cool breeze and a carefree moon.
Seeing that I didn't blame her brother, Lu Ping mustered up the courage to pour me a cup of tea. The man laughed and shouted, "You won't give me any water to drink?"
Lu Ping glared at him and stood behind me. Looking at Lu Ping's vexed appearance, the man and I smiled and curled the corners of our mouths.
"I know what Miss wants to ask." The man poured a cup of tea for himself, "However, young miss, please listen to this lowly one's background before deciding."
