Guan Guan looked at the old man in front of him. His cheeks were sunken, his body was thin, and he looked much older!

Why has my maternal grandfather aged so much?

[Wasn't my maternal grandfather supposed to go to the Taoist temple in the mountains? How come he's locked up here?!]

Guan Guan knelt on the ground, his nose tingling, and tears streamed down his face.

"Grandfather, sob sob sob..." Guan Guan burst into tears, heartbroken. The last time she felt this pain was when she lost her mother.

Seeing her young mistress crying, Zhuzhu was overcome with grief and began to cry as well.

"Miss, waaaaah..."

"Guan Guan, come here." Seeing his granddaughter crying, Grand Secretary Guan couldn't bear it. He beckoned to Guan Guan and patted his head.

"Don't cry, it's all in the past," Grand Secretary Guan comforted softly, tears welling in his eyes.

“It’s all your grandfather’s fault that you’ve suffered so much.”

"No, Grandfather, it's all my fault. I failed to stop my uncle. I didn't even know that you were imprisoned here!" Guan Guan cried with remorse.

"If Guan Guan knew, he would never let his grandfather suffer here alone!"

"Grandfather, sob sob sob..."

Seeing this scene, Yun Duoduo felt a pang of sadness. [That damned Guan Wude, what a beast!]

She glanced at Zhuzhu, gave her a look, and the two prepared to leave, leaving the grandmother and granddaughter to catch up.

"Princess, please wait." Grand Secretary Guan called out to Yun Duoduo, who turned around and looked at him with slight surprise.

Grand Secretary Guan knew that the commotion here would soon be heard, and they wouldn't have much time to reminisce.

"Guan Guan, I must thank the princess. If she hadn't discovered me here, I'm afraid I would never have seen you again!" Grand Secretary Guan said earnestly to Guan Guan.

"In the future, the Guan family will eventually be handed over to you. When that time comes, don't forget the princess's great kindness!"

"Yes, maternal grandfather!"

"Guan Guan, thank you so much for saving my life, Princess!" Guan Guan knelt on the ground and bowed to Yun Duoduo.

"Get up, get up!" Yun Duoduo quickly helped Guan Guan up. Apart from the servants in the palace, no child of similar age had ever given her such a grand gesture.

"Grand Secretary Guan, stop talking now. There will be plenty of time to catch up later. Let's finish this meat porridge first."

"Only after drinking meat porridge can you have the strength." Grand Secretary Guan has been receiving intravenous nutrition these days, and his body fluids have basically been balanced. He can eat some easily digestible porridge to replenish some nutrition and strength.

Zhuzhu quickly took the vegetable and meat porridge out of the food box and handed it to Grand Secretary Guan.

Grand Secretary Guan held the bowl of meat porridge and drank it spoonful by spoonful. He was deeply moved, realizing that his life had been saved by this little child in front of him.

...

These days, rumors are flying around the Guan family mansion. No matter how Guan Wude explains or tries to persuade her, Madam Su remains unmoved. She insists on going to Yihonglou to deal with that little slut named Wanwan and kick Yuliu out of the house.

Guan Wude was naturally unwilling to drive Yu Liu away. How could he bear to part with such a gentle and understanding woman?

Besides, he's going to have a son, which is a huge joyous occasion!

Guan Wude dismissed his servants and went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of clear soup in preparation for visiting his elderly father. When he came out, he ran into Sun Huohuo.

This time, Sun Huohuo did not go to Elder Guan's place with Yun Duoduo and the others. Instead, he received Yun Duoduo's order that if Guan Wude and Su Shi tried to approach the dilapidated house, he should do everything in his power to stop them.

"Oh, young master, you've come to the kitchen too. Are you hungry?" Guan Wude was taken aback when he saw Sun Huohuo suddenly appear.

"Quickly, make something for the young master to eat!" Guan Wude ordered the cooks in the kitchen.

"Yes, sir." The cook quickly prepared the meal.

"Uncle Guan, Uncle Guan, is this clear soup delicious?" Sun Huohuo looked longingly at the bowl of clear soup in Guan Wude's hand.

"Huo Huo wants to drink it." Sun Huo Huo made a greedy face and licked her lips.

"Young master, Uncle Guan's cooking skills aren't very good. Let the cooks make it for you; their cooking is delicious." Guan Wude patted Sun Huohuo's head and prepared to leave.

"Uncle Guan, where are we going?!" Sun Huohuo took a big step and blocked Guan Wude's way.

Hey, this kid is so difficult!

Guan Wude was losing patience. He stopped talking to Sun Huohuo and walked out of the kitchen, bypassing him.

Seeing that he couldn't stop him or hold him back, Sun Huohuo became anxious. He quickly followed behind Guan Wude, talking to him incessantly, but Guan Wude ignored him.

After bypassing the artificial hill and crossing a small path, Guan Wude finally managed to shake off Sun Huohuo.

[This is really strange. These kids are here to bring me bad luck. Ever since they arrived, the Guan residence has been anything but peaceful!]

When Guan Wude arrived at the small, dilapidated house, he looked around and, after confirming that no one was there, pushed open the door. "Father, your son has come to see you."

After Guan Wude closed the door, he turned around and looked at the bed. To his surprise, he saw that Grand Secretary Guan was already sitting up and looked to be in good spirits.

"Father, Father, you?!" Guan Wude stared at Grand Secretary Guan in disbelief.

"You unfilial son!" Elder Guan cursed angrily.

Guan Wude looked into the room and saw that besides Grand Secretary Guan, there were three little ones inside.

What are the princess and Guan Yu doing here?!

How did they find out? Did that bitch Su leak it?!

No, there's no need to do that. These kids are too young; they won't amount to anything.

Guan Wude stood there, stunned.

This matter must not be publicized. These kids are easy to handle; they don't understand anything, so they can be easily fooled.

[But that old man.]

[You old codger, you forced me to this point! Today, you will surely die here!]

Listening to Guan Wude's inner thoughts, Yun Duoduo frowned deeply. [That despicable bastard!]

Guan Wude looked fierce. He threw the soup bowl on the ground, rolled up his sleeves, and made a move to grab Guan Ge Lao's neck.

Yun Duoduo stepped forward, blocking the way for Grand Secretary Guan and Guan Guan.

"Princess, watch out!" Guan Guan cried out in fright when he saw Guan Wude about to kick Yun Duoduo.

Yun Duoduo also had some martial arts skills. She spun around and dodged Guan Wude's kick.

"Guan Wude, do you want to kill your father?" Grand Secretary Guan was waiting for Guan Wude.

"Father, this world is too tiring. Your son will send you to the underworld to enjoy happiness!" Guan Wude pressed closer, and it looked like he was about to grab Guan Ge Lao by the neck.

Yun Duoduo was gathering her inner energy, but her skill was not yet up to par, and she was unable to circulate the energy to her palms. The enormous power hidden within her body could not be unleashed.

This is a critical moment of life and death; we can't afford to falter!

Yun Duoduo's face turned bright red.
