Chapter 132 You Don’t Need to Look at Me
Bu Ruo wanted to scold her a few more times, but when he heard his mother trying to hold back her laughter, he silently shut his mouth.
Bu Huaicang's face flushed from trying to suppress a smile. He turned around and looked at his precious daughter: "Ruo'er, can you hear the ancestors talking?"
"Yes, not only can I hear, I can also see." Bu Ruo nodded with a sincere look on his face.
"The ancestors are now sitting in order at their own tablets, half praising my father, and half discussing how to exclude my grandfather from the separate family tree."
Bu Huaicang: ...
"Well... my ancestors asked me to apologize to my father. They said they have realized their mistakes and asked us not to leave them behind when we compile the family tree. They want to be on the same family tree with our descendants in the future."
"That's right. If they were with the other members of the Bu family, they would be lucky if they didn't turn into ashes, let alone the great Dao!"
"Hmm? Grandfather! You could just take your scolding, why are you still looking at me? Oh, I know what you want to ask. You want to know what happened to your other two sons, right?"
"If you ask me, you're just looking at me for nothing. I'm not going to tell you that their end was so miserable anyway."
Everyone in the Bu family: ...
Bu Huaicang was really afraid that he would laugh, so he quickly coughed and said, "Dear ancestors, let's stop here for today. I will come to see you again in a few days."
Bu Ruo stood up and looked at his two brothers giving him a thumbs-up. Suddenly, he remembered something and turned around and said, "Oh, Grandfather, yesterday your concubine Wang came to the Zhan Palace to look for me and even called herself the old lady, my half-grandmother. It was really ridiculous. My grandmother had obviously already gone back to her parents' home."
"She also said that you wouldn't agree if we severed our ties with the two families. Remember to tell the old lady in a dream tonight that you have no objection. Otherwise...oh, actually, I think it would be nice for you to stay with both families. Would you consider it?"
"Oh, you don't want to consider it? You know you're wrong too? Okay, I'll tell Dad. Don't worry, my dad is generous and won't blame you. But I advise you to bring that old lady down with you to avoid annoying people every other day."
"Grandma doesn't want you anymore anyway, so isn't it just right to bring her down here to keep you company?"
"Huh? Ouch, ouch! That's right, our ancestors hit me hard, oh, they pulled my hair! The ancestors of the Xiao Yulan family only knew how to pull hair, otherwise how can they say they are royal family."
"I'm so anxious! Pull hard! Pull the ears, pull the ears..."
Yan Xiyue couldn't bear it any longer, and finally pulled the man out of the ancestral hall under the helpless gaze of her husband.
As soon as he went out, he heard a crackling sound coming from inside. Bu Ruo stopped Bu Huaicang who was about to go in: "Dad, don't worry about it. After they finish fighting, just ask the housekeeper to send someone to clean up. Grandfather really deserves a beating."
Bu Ruo's eldest brother Bu Tianrui asked curiously, "What was that thing that fell into the ancestral hall?"
Bu Ruo said calmly, "It's just that the tablet fell over. Just now, when we were here, the ancestors didn't dare to take action. But now I hear that the fighting inside is quite intense."
The second brother, Bu Tianyi, also came over: "Grandfather got beaten? Why?"
Bu Ruo followed behind and said, "Grandfather wanted to bring someone to live with them after Wang died, but the ancestors looked down on Wang and disagreed, so they beat him up."
"Well...it was pretty miserable. When we came out, Grandfather had a black eye."
"Oh, yes, there's one more thing." Bu Ruo whispered gossip to her two brothers mysteriously, not noticing that her parents were eavesdropping in front of her.
"I'm telling you guys a secret. Grandma is really planning to divorce Grandpa this time, and she's going to remarry. We're going to have a step-grandfather. Isn't that good news?"
Bu Huaicang: ...
Am I going to have a stepfather?
"And my grandfather only regretted it after my grandmother divorced him and remarried. Tsk tsk, he deserves it. Why don't we talk to Dad and decide not to include him in the family tree and include my step-grandfather instead? He's an orphan too, after all..."
Bu Huaicang coughed lightly after listening to Bu Ruo's words: "Ruo'er, whether to include your grandfather in the family tree or not needs to be discussed with the ancestors later."
"As for my stepfather...we'll talk about it when the time comes."
Bu Huaicang could tell from what happened in the ancestral hall just now that his daughter must have scolded the ancestors a lot after returning from Wuming Mountain, but the ancestors seemed to be unusually tolerant of Ruoer.
My ancestors: Open your dog eyes and see clearly, are we being tolerant? We are not to be trifled with! We are not to be trifled with!
Since Butler Zhang packed up very quickly, Bu Huaicang and his family did not plan to return to Prince Zhan's Mansion, and Bu Ruo also stayed.
At the reunion dinner that night, Bu Ruo took out a jade pendant from her waist and handed it to her eldest brother.
"Here, this is what my future sister-in-law asked me to give you. I was so busy with the assassins along the way that I actually forgot something so important."
Bu Tianrui took the jade pendant and looked at it, speechless for a long time. In fact, he had wanted to ask for a long time, but he didn't dare. He was afraid of hearing news about his beloved, afraid that the wife he was supposed to marry had become someone else's wife.
"Brother, in the two years since I came back, it was my future sister-in-law who helped the housekeeper drive away the people from the second and third houses. When she learned that you had died in the battle, she refused to break off the engagement and claimed to be your widow. She also wore plain clothes for the past two years. I guess she missed me very much."
"Later, at the palace banquet, I told my future sister-in-law that you were not dead. She left crying and asked me to go to the teahouse the next day."
"My future sister-in-law said, if I feel that you still have her in your heart, let me give you this jade pendant. If I feel that you no longer have her in your heart, let me just throw the jade pendant away. She will never bother you again."
"But I think everyone in my family, except for my grandfather, is devoted. Several of my ancestors were like that, and so was my father. So I think I should give the jade pendant to my eldest brother and let him choose it himself. What if I drop it by mistake? I can't bear the blame for such a big mistake."
Bu Tianrui looked at the jade pendant in his hand as if he was looking at some rare treasure, and slowly took out an identical jade pendant from his arms.
"I had this made specifically for her before I left for the battle. I told her I would marry her as soon as I returned victorious. She was the only one I would ever have. But I never thought I'd never come back."
"That border war lasted three years, and I was abducted for another two years, a total of five years. She actually waited for me for five years..."
Bu Tianrui's tears fell drop by drop on the jade pendant. After a long time, he suddenly wiped his tears and stood up: "I'll go find her!"
Bu Ruo pulled him back and said, "Brother, don't be anxious. It's getting dark now. If someone who doesn't know the situation sees this, it will be bad for the reputation of my future sister-in-law."
Yan Xiyue also nodded: "Indeed, Rui'er, don't worry. Mother will prepare the betrothal gifts tonight and will accompany you to the Bachelor's Mansion tomorrow to reschedule the wedding date."
At this moment, Bi'er ran in hurriedly...
"Princess, Princess, something bad has happened in the Scholar's Mansion!"
