Chapter 21 She Just Wants to Eat a Melon Quietly
"Feng'er, it is common for people to grow old, sick and die in this life, and it is also the law of nature." From now on, Grandma Lu will no longer be able to protect you...
"You have to promise grandma that you will protect yourself and Girl Yun from now on."
The old lady's words made Qin Mufeng feel sour in his heart. He suppressed the heat surging in his eyes and said hoarsely: "Grandma... Feng'er promises you."
The old lady smiled happily. Perhaps the atmosphere in the car was too depressing, and Qin Mufeng felt a little out of breath.
"This time when I return to Beijing, everything is unclear. You have always done things in a measured and forbearing manner, so I am not worried. However, grandma wants to tell you that sometimes blindly forbearing will only make people take it harder and show off your edge.
Your life with Girl Yun will be much easier."
Qin Mufeng was a little scared when he heard the old lady's heartfelt words as if she were delivering her last words.
He wanted to interrupt her and tell her to stop talking, it would be unlucky. In the end, he had to hold it back.
He couldn't say that his grandmother would be too worried.
His grandmother had been worrying about him all her life, and planning for him had already become a habit and integrated into her bones and blood.
If she doesn't let her say those words, she won't be able to leave peacefully.
"Grandma, your grandson knows this, and you won't be stupid enough to let others bully you."
He couldn't hold it back, and there was a faint hint of swallowing in his hoarse voice, and the old lady's eyes turned red.
Looking at her grandson whom she had barely glanced at, even though she was very open-minded about birth, old age, illness and death, and knew that they were not blood relatives, after all, they were children raised by one hand, and it was inevitable that she would feel a little reluctant at this moment.
"Ouch! I missed it, I missed it, I'm really stupid, I shouldn't have told you this."
Qin Mufeng buried his head in her arms and secretly shed two tears.
"Grandma never gets old. You are the smartest and most understanding person in the world."
His voice was muffled, and the old lady's heart ached again.
She managed to adjust her emotions and laughed: "You juniors are the only ones who are used to coaxing me."
Qin Mufeng had grown up beside her, so how could he not hear the sadness hidden in her laughter? His heart ached with pain, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He forced himself to cheer up. He could no longer let his grandmother worry about him and take care of his mood. He had to cheer up.
It was night, and the dusty crowd hurriedly hurried and entered Lijing City before the curfew.
Along the way, Qin Yi followed Qin Mufeng's instructions and took shortcuts. Although it was difficult, it saved time.
The journey that originally took two or three days was compressed into just one and a half days. Yun Xi once suspected that her internal organs had been moved out of position, and even her butt seemed to have been dislocated.
She has lived two lifetimes, let alone suffered this crime, she has never suffered so much.
After entering Lijing City, the wide and smooth road no longer felt bumpy, and the carriage's speed actually slowed down significantly.
Thank God, this day and night journey was finally over. Yun Xi felt that it was a miracle that she could survive.
She opened the curtains and took two deep breaths of fresh air towards the ancient imperial city shrouded in moonlight, and then she felt like she was alive.
Old Mrs. Yun was probably very tired, and she had already fallen asleep. Yun Xi sighed at her good physical strength and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Go to sleep, it's better to be asleep, so as not to cause trouble in the middle of the night.
To be on the safe side, she silently took out the silver needle and pricked the old lady's sleeping point again.
When she stood up, she met Yunlong's amazing eyes that were bright even in the dark night. The atmosphere instantly solidified, making her forget his stupidity for a moment, and she was so guilty that she almost broke out in a cold sweat.
Yun Xi sat up stiffly and tentatively called out, "Brother?"
Yunlong suddenly closed his eyes and stopped moving, and there seemed to be some faint humming sounds coming from his throat.
Are you falling asleep again?
Just when Yun Xi was hesitating whether to give his sleeping point a shot directly, the carriage stopped.
Yunlong frowned and slowly opened his eyes.
Yun Xi: "..."
hehe……
Should she praise the car for stopping at the right time?
"Shh..."
Yun Xi pointed at the sleeping old Mrs. Yun and made a silent gesture to him, asking him not to make any noise and disturb his "sleeping" grandmother.
"Brother, let's play a silent game today. If you win, how about I take you to buy roasted sweet potatoes to eat tomorrow?"
In the darkness, Yunlong's eyes lit up. He covered his mouth tightly with a pair of chubby hands and nodded vigorously, as if he was afraid that she would regret it.
The grandparent and grandson were clearly arranged by her, and Yun Xi silently praised her wit.
What she never expected was that although she had successfully settled the relationship between her grandfather and grandson, she still could not avoid the chaos in the Marquis's residence.
In the brightly lit front hall of the Anlehou Mansion, Yun Xi opened a pair of big black eyes, and a bloody storm of infatuated men and women aroused in her head.
The old lady was sitting on the main seat with an ugly face, her chest was rising and falling, her eyes were full of disappointment when she looked at Qin Mufeng, and what she was twisting in her hand was the jade pendant that Qin Mufeng had given to Liu Ruyan to prove his identity.
In contrast, Anlehou's face was much calmer, and his slightly resolute eyebrows stared at his mother uneasily, fearing that she would be angry, but did not show any emotions except for good or bad.
Mrs. Marquis tried her best to restrain the corners of her mouth that couldn't help but want to raise her lips. The meaning of watching a good show in her eyes was obvious and about to overflow her eyes.
Liu Ruyan stood pitifully in the middle of the ground, holding her handkerchief with her orchid fingers, carefully observing everyone's reactions.
The moment Qin Mufeng saw Liu Ruyan, he could no longer maintain the perfect expression he had practiced for many years.
At this moment, his face was gloomy, and he looked at Liu Ruyan coldly, as if a storm was about to come. He didn't know what was brewing in the deep pool like a black hole under his sharp sword eyebrows, making it impossible for anyone to see what was going on in his eyes.
idea.
Yun Xi was only shocked for a moment when she first saw Liu Ruyan, but she quickly calmed down and prepared to watch the show.
"Girl Yun, come to grandma."
The old lady's words that she could not refuse completely shattered Yun Xi's desire to watch a show and take advantage of it, and brought her to the center of public opinion.
well!
She just wants to be a little transparent and eat hot melon. Why is it so difficult?
Under the gaze of everyone, Yun Xi walked up to the old lady and sat down next to her slightly stiffly.
"Go and prepare food. Don't starve my grandson-in-law."
"..."
Although it is true that she is very hungry, grandma, is now the time to talk about this?
Mrs. Hou Ye, who had been trying to suppress her laughter before, stiffened for a moment. When she looked at Yun Xi, she calmly narrowed her eyes.
Yun Xi secretly complained, she was just a fake daughter-in-law, and she still had to participate in the drama of house fighting?
Please, this has to be another price!
