"Where is my little granddaughter? Let grandpa see her!"

The unfamiliar voice made Xiao Ni feel scared reflexively. She immediately ran into Sang Yu's arms and looked at the door nervously.

Immediately afterwards, an old man in his sixties with gray hair and a somewhat thin figure walked in.

When Sang Yu saw her, he immediately knew that this must be the old man of the Nie family, the former prime minister, Nie Yuandong.

Nie Rufeng was also quite depressed today.

He started cleaning and tidying up early this morning just to be the first to see his granddaughter.

But he didn't expect that when his granddaughter was about to come, he got tripped up.

He looked at the news from Tiandu and angrily slammed the letter on the table.

"Shameless! Shameless, absolutely shameless!"

Nie Yuandong paced back and forth in anger.

"What do you think this little emperor is thinking? Doesn't he know why I retired and returned home? How dare he ask me to go back now?"

"I won't go back if I don't want to. Why is he threatening me now?"

"Threaten me!"

Nie Yuandong slammed the table.

"Isn't he forgetting how he came to sit on the throne? Not only has he been living a life of debauchery, but now he has the nerve to say he's doing it for the people?"

"Do you think he's doing anything for the people? Look at all the emperors throughout history. Has anyone been as absurd as him? I'm afraid he hasn't forgotten what happened three years ago..."

Nie Yuandong suddenly paused here and sighed helplessly.

He sat down helplessly.

"He can't be blamed for what happened back then. It was all because of me..."

The butler, who had been keeping his head down, finally said, "Master, that's for the good of the world!"

"Yes, it's for the sake of the world."

"But look at what the world has become!"

"With treacherous ministers in power, the people are living in misery, and the emperor can't even issue an order. If it weren't for the regent keeping things in check, I'm afraid the world would have changed its name long ago!"

"If I hadn't... maybe the world wouldn't be like this now..."

"I was wrong."

Nie Yuandong smiled as he spoke, but his smile was old and weak.

"Master..." The butler wanted to say something else, but he really didn't know how to start. This had been a knot in the old man's heart for many years.

To untie it.

It’s difficult!

"In my opinion, since the young emperor is willing to invite the master back, it means there is still hope! It means that he still cares about the people."

"Humph!" Nie Yuandong snorted coldly, "Do you really think that little emperor is stupid?"

The butler didn't understand this.

Everyone in the world knows that the little emperor is stupid. In his early years, it was the eldest princess who protected him.

But later the eldest princess died, and he became a little more sober.

However, as an emperor, he had no rights. If he had not been living a life of debauchery and posed no threat, he would have been killed long ago.

Nie Yuandong glanced out the window and said slowly, "If he was really stupid, how could he have survived until now?"

"Forget it!" Nie Yuandong stood up. "Let's go back to him first. My old bones can't move anymore. I can't save the world by myself!"

Nie Yuandong came out of the study and headed towards the main hall.

Hearing that his granddaughter got along well with her father and mother, he became more anxious and shouted before he even went in.

"Where is my little granddaughter? Let grandpa see her!"

As soon as Nie Yuandong entered, he saw several people sitting in the main hall.

Except for his own son and daughter-in-law.

There was also a woman and a little girl.

Needless to say, this girl is her little granddaughter.

Nie Yuandong smiled at his granddaughter, "Little you, I'm the grandpa."

He followed his gaze towards the woman, and was stunned when he saw her face clearly.

"You..." Nie Yuandong pointed at Sang Yu, his whole body began to tremble, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

There was a roar in his ears, and the woman in front of him gradually overlapped with the scene in his memory.

He seemed to see again that day when she was covered in blood and laughed towards the sky, laughing at their self-righteousness, laughing at his stupidity and self-willedness, mistaking the treacherous ministers for treasures, and herself being used as a gun to get ahead!

"Nie Yuandong, what you did today will become the greatest shame of your life. You are the biggest sinner in this world!"

Yes, he is a sinner!

So, she came to take him in, right?

Nie Yuandong watched as the woman slowly knelt down towards him.

"Princess, I am an old minister... I was wrong, and I have come to apologize."

…

The whole room was silent.

Nie Feng and Quan looked at each other in bewilderment. Sang Yu was also completely bewildered and stunned.

Nie Feng was the first to come to his senses. He immediately stood up and helped Nie Yuandong up.

But Nie Yuandong kept his head down, completely unmoved.

Nie Feng looked at Sang Yu helplessly, then at the housekeeper who followed him.

The housekeeper was also confused.

Nie Feng turned his attention back to Sang Yu.

There is no one else in the world who can make his father so respectful except Princess Rong Chengzhang.

He became an official late and was sent to the countryside for a few years. When he came back, the eldest princess had passed away and there was a major change in the court.

He followed his father and resigned from his official position and returned to the countryside. He was depressed and full of guilt every day.

So he never met the eldest princess from beginning to end.

And what her father just said means that she is the eldest princess.

This time, it was Nie Feng who was shocked.

Everyone was stunned for a moment before Sang Yu tentatively asked, "Stand...stand up?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Yuandong raised his head.

He looked at Sang Yu with red eyes.

"I, your humble servant, am guilty and ashamed to stand before you!"

Sang Yu was in a dilemma.

Although she didn't know what happened to Nie Yuandong, based on her many years of experience watching TV dramas, she was afraid that the prime minister of the previous dynasty might have encountered some trouble and happened to recognize the wrong person, so he came to apologize.

According to common sense, this kind of old minister is usually stubborn. Judging from his current attitude, telling him directly that he has the wrong person might not work. So why not...

"The Prime Minister's literary character is admirable. How could he be wrong? Get up, get up!"

Nie Yuandong paused when he heard this.

"This old minister is unworthy of the word 'noble character'! Princess, you are right, I am a sinner... I lost my granddaughter because of me, and now she has been saved by you, which is enough to prove that what you said is right."

Sang Yu: ...

This scholar is a scholar, and Sang Yu really can't argue with him.

He had no choice but to stand up and help Nie Yuandong up, "Prime Minister... Master, you have the wrong person. I am not the princess you are talking about."

Sang Yu helped him up and he had to get up.

He stood up, looked Sang Yu up and down, then said slowly: "There is no mistake, old minister...ah..."

Sang Yu quickly said, "You really have the wrong person. I'm not the princess you're talking about. I'm just the owner of Jishi Pharmacy. My name is Sang Yu."
