Jiang Yuanjun glared at Jiang Yunchen, then remained silent.
"Patriarch Lingyun, I've come here to..."
"No, no, no, we're all family, no need to be so formal! Besides, it's almost lunchtime, let's not talk about anything else for now, let's have a meal first!" Jiang Yunchen interrupted Jiang Yuan, then chimed in to the other two family heads, "Right? Everything else can be discussed, but we can't rush this meal."
Jiang Yuanjun frowned. He knew that Jiang Yunchen was giving him a way out, so he turned his sleeves and left without saying whether he would eat or not.
"I don't mind, as long as you're treating." Jiang Haizong had no other objections and left with Jiang Chen.
"Grandson and granddaughter-in-law, let's go. Let's eat first and then talk business," Jiang Yunchen invited the two in a very gentle tone.
Hearing the unfamiliar title, Jiang Yuan felt a little dazed. He had long been used to living alone, and his family had long faded from his memory.
Liu Zhaodi is an intelligent person. She can understand Jiang Yuan's conflicted feelings at this moment. The current family affection is only obtained by his great potential. It is more about interests than emotions. So he is making a choice.
However, even a rootless duckweed needs a pond to take root in. Although the Jiang family could not give Jiang Yuan the purest kinship, this was still a root for him.
Emotions require tolerance and forgiveness; in any case, this is a good start.
"Thank you, Second Grandpa, we'll go right now," Liu Zhaodi replied obediently, linking her arm with Jiang Yuan's.
Jiang Yunchen looked at Liu Zhaodi intently, and finally sighed as he said to Jiang Yuan, "I know you have some grievances in your heart, but your grandfather also has his own unspeakable difficulties. I'm sure you've come to understand a principle by now: the greater the power, the more complicated the relationships become. The same goes for families; many things are not up to you."
"Second Grandfather, I want to go back and see my parents first, is it possible for me to..."
Jiang Yuan, who was about to continue speaking, stopped abruptly, because he realized that his adoptive father was very likely Jiang Tiandi, which meant that his childhood was all arranged, and how much real family affection did he have?
"Of course, you can go to the ancestral land first, then come back for dinner. We've already cleaned your parents' house for you, so you can stay there tonight. You can leave with the Soul Secret tomorrow morning." Jiang Yunchen filled Jiang Yuan's schedule with activities.
"The secret of the soul."
Jiang Yuan, who was not in high spirits, gave a wry smile. Sure enough, the Jiang family knew that he had come for the Soul Secret.
"Second Grandfather, you should go back first. Jiang Yuan and I will go to the ancestral land to pay respects to our parents-in-law!" Liu Zhaodi made the decision for Jiang Yuan. Since the other party could produce the Soul Secret, even if it was a challenge, they had to greet them with a smile. After all, this was the Jiang family.
"Then I'll have Dahai and Nian'er accompany you!"
Jiang Yunchen did not force Jiang Yuan, and after leaving, he asked Jiang Dahai and Jiang Nian to receive the two of them.
"Jiang Nian greets my brother and sister-in-law!" Jiang Nian greeted them warmly, and after seeing the two, she took Liu Zhaodi's arm and said, "Sister-in-law is so beautiful. I don't know what kind of good fortune my brother must have accumulated in his past lives to be able to marry her!"
Jiang Yuan: "..."
He rolled his eyes at Jiang Nian. This girl really didn't mince words; she started by insulting her own family.
Seeing that the Jiang family was very welcoming, Liu Zhaodi became less reserved and praised, "Nian'er is very pretty too!"
“Jiang Yuan, let me take you to the ancestral land!” Jiang Dahai said.
The two followed Jiang Dahai to the ancestral land. The Jiang family's ancestral land was divided into inner and outer sections, and Jiang Yuan's parents were buried on the outer side of the ancestral land so that it would be convenient for descendants to pay their respects.
"Jiang Yuan, you can pay your respects here. Nian'er and I will wait for you outside."
Jiang Dahai tactfully led Jiang Nian outside to wait.
"What's wrong?" Liu Zhaodi asked Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly and sighed, "Actually, I'm not sure about my adoptive parents' identities either."
Why do you say that?
Jiang Yuan then told the truth, including his own conjectures.
"You mean, Emperor Jiang looks just like your adoptive father?" Liu Zhaodi was also hearing Jiang Yuan say this for the first time, so she was inevitably a little surprised.
"I think Emperor Jiang is my adoptive father." Jiang Yuan exhaled a breath of turbid air. He had kept this secret until now, and he felt much relieved to say it now.
Liu Zhaodi looked thoughtful, and finally asked doubtfully, "Could it just be that we look alike? After all, you are from the same clan, so it's normal to have some similarities."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan shook his head and said, "I have already fought with him in Xinghe, and I can confirm that he is my adoptive father. I just don't know why he disappeared and why he became my adoptive father."
"My husband, have you ever considered that you are not an orphan?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan's expression turned strange.
