"Grandpa won't blame you. Grandpa will only be pleased that Yan'er has finally grown up and can protect herself."
Shangguan Leiting smiled and stood up from the table. Mo Shisheng quickly helped him up, "Grandpa, you can talk while you're sitting down."
"Hey!"
Shangguan Leiting feigned displeasure as he looked at Mo Shisheng, "So you're already tired of your old grandfather's bones?"
No cherry blossoms
Mo Shisheng shook her head and helped Shangguan Leiting slowly walk to the front of the group. Shangguan Leiting's gaze swept over the large family in front of him, and he suddenly sighed, "If I hadn't driven Yan'er's mother away back then, the eldest brother wouldn't have left, and our family should be reunited now."
“Father, my elder brother was just angry back then. Once he calms down, he will naturally bring my sister-in-law back.” Shangguan Murou walked to the other side of Shangguan Leiting and gently supported him, speaking softly.
“Yes, you’re right, the eldest will definitely come back.” Shangguan Leiting looked at her with relief, then turned to Shangguan Zhi and said, “Second brother, you must be tired from your journey. Take Ying’er and Xue’er to rest first, and we’ll have dinner at Zhuyuezhai tonight.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Shisheng glanced at Shangguan Leiting. It seemed that her grandfather was genuinely happy today, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the Zhuyuezhai for the banquet.
"I hope Yan'er isn't unhappy."
After making his decision, Shangguan Leiting suddenly asked Mo Shisheng a question. Mo Shisheng shook her head slightly and said, "Grandpa's decision is fine."
"good."
Shangguan Leiting smiled and nodded, "Everyone, you can leave now. Mu Rou, take some people to clean up the Zhuyuezhai area."
"Yes, Father."
Shangguan Murou answered softly, and finally, together with Shangguan Qi, helped him walk into the main hall.
Shangguan Zhi then led Shangguan Ying and Shangguan Xue toward Pianruo Pavilion.

Mo Shisheng and Jiang Ge had just left when Shangguan Xuan followed closely behind.
As they approached the Bamboo Garden, Mo Shisheng finally couldn't help but stop and turn around to look at him. "Is there anything else, brother?"
"You never used to be so wary of me. What's wrong with you?" Shangguan Xuan's expression turned cold. He couldn't accept that the person who used to follow him around was now so impatient with him.
Mo Shisheng took a deep breath. Sometimes she would be awakened by nightmares at night. It was all because of Shangguan Qi. Shangguan Yan's memories were full of Shangguan Qi's kindness to her, but the very Shangguan Qi who had been so kind to her was her murderer!
Besides, Shangguan Qi killed her for Shangguan Xuan's sake, so no matter what, she would not rely on Shangguan Xuan like Shangguan Yan did. She would stay as far away from him as possible.
She knew all too well how many obstacles she faced. As the eldest grandson of Shangguan Leiting, Shangguan Xuan was the most suitable heir to the Shangguan family. However, the existence of Mo Shisheng, a direct descendant, meant he had no chance at all.
If Mo Shisheng, this stumbling block, dies, Shangguan Xuan can rightfully inherit this position.
Just as Mo Shisheng was lost in thought, Shangguan Xuan suddenly pulled her into his arms. Mo Shisheng snapped back to reality, her eyes flashing with a cold light. "Let go."
"Yan'er, if you won't tell me why you're distancing yourself from me, then don't be so defensive towards me. It makes me very uncomfortable."
Shangguan Xuan's voice carried a hint of heaviness, and he tightened his grip on Mo Shisheng's arms slightly.
Mo Shisheng's eyes flickered slightly, and she was momentarily dazed before regaining her senses. "Shangguan Xuan, if you don't want me to die, stay away from me."
