Chapter 46: It’s great that the family god is still here!
Madam Xie was stunned, looked down at her palm, and her eyes suddenly widened.
egg!
She shook it in disbelief. The egg was hot and cooked!
She suddenly raised her head and looked at her grandson Xie Yuchuan, her eyes full of questions.
Xie Yuchuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said solemnly, "Grandma, I have something to tell you. Please don't get excited."
"Okay, go ahead." Old Madam Xie tightly grasped the hot egg in her hand, her heart beating faster.
Inexplicably, she felt that her grandson's next words must be very important.
Xie Yuchuan glanced at his mother, Zhou, who was also very excited but forcibly suppressed. He then looked at Old Madam Xie and said gently, "Grandma, our Xie family's deity is still here. The thin blankets to keep you warm and these foods were all given by the deity."
Madam Xie opened her eyes wide and was speechless for a moment: "..."
Xie Yuchuan knew that this matter would take some time to digest, especially since his grandmother had been devoting herself wholeheartedly to worshipping the family gods for many years, and had never slacked off during festivals. Even if the Xie family was facing a disaster, Old Lady Xie would still protect it in front of the ancestral temple.
It was his idea to hand over the tablet that day, and my grandmother heard it. However, he knew that the fact that the Xie family handed over the tablet was always a regret in my grandmother's heart. Although she never mentioned it along the way, she would occasionally sigh.
Passing through Songjiang Town, he saw Han Qiguang, disguised in a roadside teahouse, and realized that even if the Xie family was exiled, they would still be vulnerable to the ill will of others. In prison, he considered countless possible futures for the Xie family, but he realized that as long as Xiahou Jie remained on the throne, the Xie family would inevitably face repeated threats to its survival.
Han Qiguang's appearance confirmed his suspicions in the Imperial Prison. Similarly, he also saw the strength he had left behind in Songjiang Town. Although it was not much, it was much better than facing the malicious intent from all sides with bare hands.
The Xie family not only had to stay alive, but also had to arrive in Laozhou safely.
Old Madam Xie lowered her head and stared at the egg in her palm. Eggs were not uncommon, but where could she find one in the wilderness?
She raised her head and asked, "After the incident in Songjiang Town, I've been wanting to ask you, but I was in a hurry and it wasn't convenient to ask." She held up the thing in her hand, "Did someone in Songjiang Town give you the eggs?"
Xie Yuchuan was stunned for a moment.
Madam Xie sighed softly, "I saw Han Qiguang's child."
Xie Yuchuan suddenly understood what was going on. He chuckled and sat cross-legged beside Old Madam Xie. "Grandma, you have good eyesight."
Madam Xie glanced at him and said, "That little monkey has been trying to kidnap you and cause trouble since he was little. He even kidnapped the Xu family kid and got him into trouble. I'd recognize him even if he turned into ashes. Do you have anyone else outside?"
Xie Yuchuan didn't deny it. "Not much, just enough."
Madam Xie nodded. "I know I'm not happy after handing over the deity. Don't overthink it. Grandmother agrees with your approach, otherwise she wouldn't have followed your letter. The Xie family ultimately owes a great deal to the gods. Even if we no longer have the protection of our family gods, we can't give up on ourselves. The journey is long, but we just have to get through it. We're all here, and Grandmother can hold on. You don't have to try to cheer me up."
Xie Yuchuan: "Grandma, my grandson doesn't have..."
Madam Xie said, "Since you still have someone under your control, you must act with extreme caution. I see that the leading escort officer is not an ordinary person. Don't let him discover your intentions."
"As for this egg." Old Madam Xie glanced at it and stuffed it into the hands of her daughter-in-law Zhou. "Eat it! You've only taken care of me, an old woman, along the way, and haven't even thought about yourself."
Zhou suddenly looked at the egg in her hand, and with a helpless look on her face, she spread out her other hand in front of her mother-in-law, only to see that she also had a round, hot egg in her hand.
She cracked the egg gently on the stone, peeled it while it was still hot, and returned it to Old Lady Xie, whispering, "Mother, eat it while it's hot. Everyone gets some."
"Everyone has it?" Hearing this, the old lady didn't believe it at all.
“Both.”
Old Madam Xie looked around and found that everyone was looking at her intently, or to be more precise, at her grandson Xie Yuchuan. Those eyes were enthusiastic, excited, and contained some subtle respect.
Xie Wuying was lowering his head to apply a warming patch to Xie Wenjie, and quietly apologized, "It's not that I didn't tell you before, but Sixth Brother said things were still unstable and he was afraid something might happen if he told you, so he wanted to find a suitable time to talk."
Xie Wenjie touched the heating pad under his clothes, his expression still in shock: "Is tonight the right time?"
"I don't know either. Sixth Brother might have originally planned to cross Panlong Ridge." Xie Wuying wasn't quite sure what Xie Yuchuan was thinking. "Wasn't the family deity appearing tonight?"
Xie Wenjie was completely bewildered and amazed: "Is our family god still here?"
"It's still there." Xie Wuying was 100% sure of this when he passed by Songjiang Town.
"Then..." Xie Wenjie wanted to ask something, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
Xie Wuying said it for him, "I know what you want to ask. You want to know how I know this, right?"
Xie Wenjie nodded.
"Sixth brother prayed to the family god to save the life of Mr. Xu at the Songjiang government office. I was there and saw it with my own eyes." Every time Xie Wuying recalled that scene, his heart trembled.
After saying that, he patted the water bag on his waist and said, "Do you know why I didn't give you the water here, but gave you other water to drink?"
Xie Wenjie: "...given by the family god?"
Xie Wuying nodded heavily. "In broad daylight, it swelled up on its own, and there was water inside."
Xie Wenjie gasped!
Xie Wuying had an expression that said, "I knew you would be shocked too," and patted his brother on the shoulder. "Eggs too, eat them. I'll go post a hot post for others so you can sleep well tonight."
Everyone's reactions gave Mrs. Xie a glimmer of hope.
She turned to look at her grandson, "Yuchuan, what's going on?"
"Grandma, our Xie family's deity hasn't given up on us. She's still here."
This time, Madam Xie couldn't suppress her shock. She couldn't help but lean back, taking a deep breath, and looking shocked.
"W-What did you say? Say it again!"
"The throne was handed over by the family god." Xie Yuchuan said again.
Mrs. Xie's lips moved, but she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Zhou was afraid that Mrs. Xie would be upset. "Mother, Yuchuan said that the family god has not abandoned our Xie family."
When Zhou said this, her hands were shaking and her voice trembled with excitement.
Mrs. Xie was no exception. She suddenly reached out and grabbed Xie Yuchuan's wrist tightly, staring at him seriously: "Yuchuan, the matter of the family god is a major matter for our Xie family. You can't lie to grandma about this matter!"
Xie Yuchuan nodded, his expression serious: "Yuheng will not lie to Grandmother about the household gods."
"House God, are you really still willing to protect our Xie family?"
Xie Yuchuan was slightly stunned when he heard this. He didn't know whether the family god was still willing to protect them, but the family god did not give up on them at this moment.
When he hesitated, Mrs. Xie's heart rose to her throat.
"Grandma, I wonder if the family deity is willing to protect our Xie family forever."
"However, the family gods have always saved me and the Xie family from danger. I think the gods have not given up on us yet."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xie burst into tears.
