My father followed Huang Lang Zhong out to write a prescription, and I followed my mother out the screen.

"Grandmother Autumn Orchid!" Grandmother Autumn Orchid called out, and a neatly dressed, fair-skinned mother in her forties answered and stood in front of Grandmother. Stay here with Madam Chen for the night and look after her. If there's anything you need, find a young maid to tell me. " The mother bowed her head in agreement. Then the grandmother looked around the room and turned to her mother. "Why isn't your mother standing guard in front of her daughter?"

"My mother lowered her head, not expecting my grandmother to give her such a favor." There's a shortage of people in the kitchen, and I transferred her there. " It had to be known that Mama Chen was one of the most respectable mothers in the past. It was obvious that her mother had been angry at Aunt Chen, which was why she had sent her mother to such a lively place like the kitchen.

"Then transfer her to Aunt Chen's room." Grandmother's gentle words made Mother widen her eyes. "Mother!" The grandmother didn't even look at her mother. She tucked in Aunt Chen's tight blanket, gave her a few words of advice, then told her mother to wake up at night and pay attention to her movements. The mother responded.

Grandmother stood up. My mother hurried to help her, but Grandmother stroked her neatly combed temples with her hands. My mother's hands hung in the air, looking extremely embarrassed.

Grandmother's servants followed her out in order. As they passed by me, Grandmother gave me a deep look and reached out to pull me away. I felt slightly relieved. She was even willing to hold my hand and that would be good enough.

My grandmother didn't say a word to me along the way, and as we walked side by side in silence, guided by the light, I grew more and more uneasy. I knew exactly how much my grandmother had expected of the child in Aunt Chen's womb, but I still induced my mother to do that kind of thing. However, looking at my mother's expression of sudden relief and slight disappointment, it didn't seem to be a lie. However, if it was her mother who had done it, then Aunt Chen's child wouldn't be in any great condition. Her mother would definitely be very disappointed, so why would she look so lucky?

I thought about it as I walked, but I wasn't bored on the way, and in the blink of an eye I was in my grandmother's yard.

I followed my grandmother into the main house. Mama Du and I helped her sit on the kang, and Mother Du took off her shoes. Grandmother leaned on the pillow, looking a lot more relaxed.

"All of you can leave now." Mama Du was hanging her grandmother's clothes on a hanger. After hearing her grandmother's words, she quickly placed her clothes on the bed beside her and took her maidservants out of the room.

"Did you say that to your mother on purpose?" His grandmother's eyes were sharp and threatening.

"Yes." Grandmother is a very smart person, even though you ask me, Grandmother already understood. I looked directly at my grandmother and confirmed her words.

A pained expression appeared on her grandmother's face, "Don't you know that it is difficult for a descendant of the Yang family?" Grandmother clenched her hands tightly, but kept them by her side.

Grandmother is talking about the Yang family, not our family. I sighed slightly. Grandmother may have loved me, but she has always regarded me as a member of the Lu family.

"Our family's heirs are not difficult." I reached for the copper pot on the charcoal brazier, took the teacup, and poured a cup of ginseng and red dates for my grandmother, whose face was misted with the steam of the tea.

After listening to my words, Grandmother took a sip of my tea before speaking again. "Your father has no children, so how could he not be empty?"

I lowered my eyes. Originally, I didn't want to tell my grandmother about this personally. Every mother would feel heartbroken when a mother told me about her son's humiliation. But now this was the only way.

"Father has a room outside." I paused. "That man had three sons."

Grandmother rolled her eyes and stared at me. "How did you know?" Sharp eyes and a sharp tone, it was my grandmother I had never seen before.

"I saw that my father was suspicious of the embroidery on his body, so I asked the servant to go investigate." It was because I saw my father's clothes that I became suspicious. On the surface, Big Brother Lu Ping's identity was only that of a servant. No matter how trivial the matter was, not daring to tell Grandmother about it.

"Would it be so easy to find out?" Then shouldn't your mother have already discovered it? " Grandmother put down the teacup in her hands heavily. The tea spilled all over the table. Following the principle that words cannot be wasted, I lowered my head and stopped talking.

"Great!" Great! All of you are going to anger me to death! " Grandmother was really angry and pointed her finger at me. I didn't dare to reply, so I quickly got off the brick bed and knelt on the ground.

The room was very quiet, and only the ticking of the clock indicated the passing of time. The bell rang out twice, and after kneeling for two hours, Grandmother coldly said, "Stand up." I didn't dare to sit back down on the kang. I just stood there.

Grandmother raised her eyebrows. "Since you already knew about this, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Maybe it was because I didn't think Grandmother was someone I could really rely on, or maybe it was because I thought this information might come in handy in the future.

"A son doesn't care about his father." I lowered my head and rubbed my purse against the hem of my skirt.

Grandmother sneered and said no more. There was an awkward atmosphere between us. Why didn't you tell Grandmother earlier? I think the real reason is that Grandmother will think I'm being unkind if I say it out of my mouth. In the end, Grandmother didn't see me as a member of the Yang family.

"Go back." Grandmother leaned wearily on the kang. I went up to help Grandmother change her clothes and rest, but Grandmother stopped me from holding out her hand. I embarrassedly put my hand away, bowed and left. At the door, Mother Du bowed to me and led the maidservants who served Grandmother to wash up into the house.

"Let's go back." She helped me along the long winding corridor back to the house.

"Is Miss awake?" Red Jade's voice came from under the window. "Miss didn't sleep last night, and was only sleepy in the morning. She probably hasn't woken up yet!"

Hong Yu continued, "Then I'll wait." Hong Yu's voice was no longer as light and gentle as it used to be.

"How about you tell me what you want to tell me, and I'll tell you when Miss wakes up." Lu Ping's voice sounded again.

"No, I'll just wait here for Miss." Hong Yu rejected Lu Ping's good intentions. There was also anxiety in her voice. My heart thumped. What did Grandmother tell Hong Yu to look for me for?
