Chapter 696: Grandfather and Grandson Reunited
Tangli and the other three just sat there and waited until noon.
"Dear guests, the master of the house is here."
As soon as Rong Bo finished speaking, a short old lady with a cane, supported by two maids, walked in from outside.
Wangyou looked straight at her, with all kinds of complicated emotions surging in his heart. The old lady had aged a lot, her hair was completely white and sparse, and her face was covered with deep wrinkles, but her eyes were still clear and majestic.
Even though he knew that this was very rude, Wangyou couldn't look away and looked at her greedily.
Rong Bo frowned and was about to remind her, but Yue Lao Taijun coughed softly and stopped him.
The Moon Lady had a bad temper, but being stared at like this, she couldn't get angry at all. This young man gave her a kind feeling, making her feel inexplicably close to him.
The old man and the young man looked at each other, and it was Yue Lao Taijun who broke the silence.
"Is the guest coming from Yunfeng City?" asked Lady Yue Lao.
"Yes, City Lord Yun sent us here to deliver a gift to the old lady." Wangyou replied.
"Lord Yun is thoughtful, but I can't afford it. Please take back the gift and let's not have any contact in the future." said Yue Lao Taijun.
Lady Yue's tone was not very good, but Wangyou knew that she did not want to implicate City Lord Yun.
If City Lord Yun has any dealings with the Yue family, he will offend Wu Jie. How could Wu Jie let him go so easily?
"I will pass on the old lady's words to City Lord Yun. However, since I'm already here, please ask Old Lady Yue to accept the gift from the City Lord."
Wangyou finished speaking, noticing that Yue Lao Taijun still had a stern expression, and her tone unconsciously took on a touch of intimacy. "Yunfeng City is quite far from Yuecheng. We've been traveling day and night for ten days and are very tired. Will you accept this for our hard work, Old Taijun?"
For some reason, Yue Lao Taijun's heart softened and she nodded.
Wangyou presented a box.
Lady Yue took the box and said, "This is the last time."
Wangyou nodded: "Well, open it and take a look."
Seeing that the young man was looking at her eagerly, Lady Yue softened her heart again and opened the box.
There was a wooden comb inside, made of boxwood. It looked ordinary, but Yue Lao Taijun was stunned.
Her memory went back to more than ten years ago, when a young baby ran to her legs and handed her an identical comb.
"Grandma, Ali made this for you." The little guy tilted his head back, his eyes wide open, and his face gradually overlapped with the boy's in front of him.
Ah Li...
Her little grandson? !
Lady Yue stared at Wangyou blankly, her nose sore and her eyes red. She was in disbelief and extremely surprised. For a moment, she didn't even know how to react.
After a while, Yue Lao Taijun regained her sanity.
"Thank you for your hard work, guests. Please follow me to the tea room for a cup of tea." said Yue Lao Taijun.
She made an excuse and took Wangyou and the others out of the living room and into a yard.
Tangli held Sanbao's hand and followed Wangyou closely as they walked in the yard. He felt something was wrong.
The yard doesn't look big, but it takes a long time to walk through it.
Tang Li couldn't help but look at Du Ye, and the two made eye contact.
Tangli: Formation?
Du Ye nodded slightly.
After walking for a while, I finally reached a door.
The Moon Lady's gaze fell on Tang Li and the others with caution.
"They are all trustworthy people. They saved me, otherwise I... would not have survived. They came to Yuecheng to help me." Wangyou said.
Yue Lao Taijun's vigilance turned into gratitude, and she took them into one of the rooms.
Tangli closed the door.
"Please sit down. Mo Bai has set up a formation in this yard. Wu Jie's 'eyes' can't see here." Yue Lao Taijun said.
Tangli sat down with Sanbao and Du Ye.
The Moon Lady's gaze fell on Wangyou.
Wangyou squatted down in front of Yue Lao Taijun and hugged her: "Grandma..."
Lady Yue gently stroked Wangyou's head: "A-li..."
Her face was still serious, but her voice was filled with tears.
A Li is really still alive...
That’s great!
Ten years ago, the Yue clan went from being the first family of the Wu clan to being a sinful clan, and from being respected to being despised, all in one night.
Over the past ten years, the Yue family has gradually declined, and it has become extremely difficult to even support the family. Many servants have left, leaving only a few loyal servants. They have no money, so they have been pawning their household belongings, and their lives are getting more and more difficult.
When she went out, if someone found out that she was a member of the Yue family, they would throw rotten vegetable leaves and fruits into her car. The Yue family was like rats crossing the street.
She is suffering so much at her age...
But she cannot fall down. If she falls down, the Yue family will be completely finished.
All three daughters were gone, the eldest daughter went crazy, and there was no one left to support the Yuezhi.
She wanted to find an heir for the Yue clan...
She went out early this morning and went to Yao's house just for this matter.
Two days ago, two children came to look for their relatives, holding portraits of their parents. The portrait of their father was that of Yao... Yuecheng was full of the Yao family's spies, and the news of their search for their relatives quickly reached the Yao family.
When Yue Lao Taijun got the news, the two children had already been taken to the Yao family.
They have the blood of the Yao family and the Yue family flowing in their bodies!
Although Lady Yue Lao didn't want to have anything to do with the Yao family, the Yue family was now dwindling in numbers and couldn't even find an heir...
After listening to her eldest daughter's mournful cries all night long outside her courtyard, Lady Yue finally decided to go to the Yao family and get her back, at least the girl...
However, she went to the Yao family early this morning, but she didn't see anyone and was humiliated by the arrogant Yao family!
The matchmaker was exhausted both physically and mentally, and felt like she couldn't go on any longer.
Fortunately, now there is finally good news.
Ali is still alive, their Yue family still has bloodline, and there is still hope!
"A Li, what happened back then? Where have you been all these years? You must have suffered a lot, right?" asked Yue Lao Taijun.
Wangyou told the story of Wu Jie killing his master and the saint.
That happened after the divine sacrifice.
According to tradition, there is a dinner after the sacrifice.
Wu Jie tampered with the banquet and poisoned the banquet with a poison that even his master couldn't identify.
After the Saint and the Yue family were poisoned, Wu Jie began a unilateral massacre.
Wangyou was in charge of concluding the divine sacrifice at the altar, so he didn't attend the banquet. He sensed something was wrong and rushed to the banquet scene, only to see blood flowing like a river, and his master lying in a pool of blood...
"I knew Mobai wouldn't kill the Saint. It was Wu Jie who framed him and our Yue clan!" Yue Lao Taijun's voice was very excited, her eyes full of hatred. She gritted her teeth and said, "Your master, the Saint, your parents, and your two aunts all died at his hands. This hatred is irreconcilable!"
"Grandma, I came back to Yuecheng to expose Wu Jie's true face and clear the stigma imposed on my master and the Yue family!" Wangyou said.
