Crown Prince Zhang Youye from the Jing Circle. He was known for his noble, lazy, and unruly nature. After encountering his mother's affair, he was determined not to go through with the arranged...
Receiving a signal from her grandfather, Shuyi took the small box, opened the lid, and quickly glanced inside. She was almost blinded by the contents.
What comes into view.
It was roughly a ten-carat diamond necklace.
The old fox could easily see that this was a stepping stone that Shu Chuanran had laid out for his mother.
I never expected that this kid would give his granddaughter such an expensive diamond necklace.
However, compared to the piece of emerald green jade that her son gave her.
The necklace is slightly inferior.
"Thank you, Auntie, I like it very much." Shu Yi's voice interrupted the old fox's thoughts.
Following Shu Chuanran's figure away, Shu Qiyi shifted his gaze slightly to the left, landing on Qin Zhi.
Seeing that her expression had returned to calm, and that she nodded to her granddaughter, Shu Qiyi, who had seen through her intentions but didn't say anything, slowly opened his mouth.
"You're so thoughtful, even knowing to give Yiyi a necklace. Since you've already given it to her, we're going to hold a formal banquet for Yiyi at home soon, and I'll have her wear this necklace then."
Unexpectedly, the old man dotes on his illegitimate son's daughter so much that he even holds a banquet for her.
I hadn't heard from Shu Renxuan about hosting a banquet when I arrived.
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhi said, "Grandpa, I haven't heard Renxuan mention this before."
"Yes, Dad, when is it going to happen? Why didn't Uncle Wei tell me?" Shu Renxuan asked from the side.
Sitting upright in a chair to one side, Shu Yi looked at Shu Qiyi with a puzzled expression.
Now that everyone has arrived, Shu Qiyi picked up the teacup beside him, silently lifted the lid, and stirred the tender green tea leaves inside.
He slowly plucked the keys while explaining.
“I just thought of that myself. Renxuan, once your Uncle De’an returns from out of town, we’ll get to work on this as soon as possible. We’ve only introduced Yiyi to a few of the heads of the household before, so this banquet…”
"I want to introduce Yiyi to everyone."
After listening to the old man's slow and methodical explanation, Shu Renxuan did not feel any rejection, but simply nodded silently.
I grew up with Shu Yishi.
Shu Renxuan and his younger brother have always had a very good relationship.
Although the mother never gave this illegitimate son a kind look and often prevented them from playing together.
Although he was young at the time, he understood his younger brother's innocence, so he never listened to his mother.
The two grew up quickly and reached the appropriate age.
After returning from his studies abroad, he followed the arrangements of his family elders and married Qin Zhi.
However, for Lu Zhi's sake, the younger brother did not want to marry into the Zhang family and even ran away from home.
He had always admired his younger brother's courage to take responsibility.
However, leaving the Shu family meant starting all over again. Coupled with his mother's forbidding him from secretly helping his brother, he could only shed tears of worry for him.
Over the years, I always thought my younger brother would live a happy life, but I never expected to learn from my father a while ago that my brother and sister-in-law had passed away many years ago.
She left behind only her daughter to live alone outside.
Hearing this, his heart couldn't help but clench.
Later, when Shu Renxuan saw his niece for the first time in the Lueyue Hall, he was even more moved.
It's incredible that a frail girl could live alone for so many years.
Now that he can finally wait for his younger brother's daughter to return, he naturally loves and cherishes her from the bottom of his heart.
Since a banquet is to be held, he will take full responsibility for organizing it.
He watched as Shu Renxuan nodded solemnly, without offering any opinion on the matter.
Thinking that his own children had never enjoyed such treatment, even though his two children were also very much loved by the old man.
It's unclear why the Shu family is now going to such lengths to raise a daughter born out of wedlock.
Moreover, according to the family genealogy records, Shu Yishi's biological mother never entered the Shu family's gate until her death.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhi blurted it out.
"Grandpa, isn't this a bit too extravagant?"
