Chapter 73 The dagger was given to her by General Shangguan



Ye Chuzhou was also confused when he saw his grandfather's reaction.

"Come in first." He took Shangguan Qing into the living room.

Old Master Ye sat in the middle of the sofa with a strong aura, his back straight, his expression serious and even a little impatient.

"Grandpa, this is Shangguan Qing." Ye Chuzhou introduced him, "He's the owner of an antique shop and also my friend."

"Hello, Grandpa Ye." She bowed slightly.

Old Master Ye raised his eyes and glanced at her, then glared at her angrily.

The atmosphere between the two became tense due to Mr. Ye's abnormal behavior, and it felt like they had a personal grudge.

"A great Buddha has suddenly come to my house. I'm sorry I can't entertain him with my bare bones!"

"Grandpa! What are you doing?" Ye Chuzhou began to get anxious.

Mr. Ye didn't say anything, his attitude remained tough, and it was obvious that he didn't like her.

But she is not someone who can be ignored by just anyone.

I only called him "Grandpa Ye" to give him face, but he actually dared to put on airs in front of her!

"Mr. Ye, how have I ever offended you to make you get so upset when you see me?" She asked bluntly, without mercy.

Old Master Ye pursed his lips, turned down the corners of his mouth, raised his eyes and looked at Shangguan Qing.

Neither of them gave in to the other.

Ye Chuzhou was caught between the two of them, not knowing what to do.

The nanny at home stood by cautiously, fearing that she would get into trouble.

The situation became increasingly tense, and the living room turned into a stalemate between the two sides before the start of the battle.

She just came to ask about the short knife and General Shangguan. If she was not welcomed, she would just turn around and leave.

"Since Mr. Ye is in a bad mood, I won't bother you."

Having said that, he planned to leave.

Ye Chuzhou wanted to keep her, but he couldn't speak because of the depressing atmosphere.

At this moment, Mr. Ye, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly called her, "Wait!"

Several people in the living room immediately turned their eyes to Mr. Ye.

Shangguan Qing turned around, feeling a little impatient, "Master Ye is willing to talk to me?"

"Let's talk in the study." He stood up and walked towards the study. "No one else is allowed to come in."

"Grandpa, how about I accompany you?"

Ye Chuzhou was worried that his grandfather would make things difficult for Shangguan Qing.

"No need!" Shangguan Qing stopped him, "Mr. Ye should have something to say to me alone."

Mr. Ye didn't say anything. He opened the study door and walked in. Shangguan Qing followed closely behind him and closed the door.

She walked in and was surprised to see an entire wall of historical books in the study.

It covers the history of human evolution from primitive society to the history of modern social development.

More importantly, half of them are original versions of ancient books.

It's very difficult to keep a copy of this kind of thing privately, but Grandpa Ye actually has half a wall of it.

It seems she has found the right person.

Mr. Ye, "Please sit down."

He made a pot of tea and poured her a cup.

Shangguan Qing picked up the teacup and looked him straight in the eyes, "Master Ye, if you have anything to say, just say it."

He put down the teapot with his wrinkled hands and spoke in a muddy and old voice, "I have seen you before, when I was in my twenties."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Qing's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"You're wrong." She denied in a cold tone.

Mr. Ye had seen her when he was in his twenties, which meant that her appearance had not changed in almost fifty years.

Even if it's really her, I can't recognize her.

"It's impossible to be wrong." He said firmly, "I originally had a hobby of collecting antiques because of you. If I remember correctly, you were looking for a man with a red spider lily in front of him."

He was one of the men she was interviewing at the time.

Shangguan Qing frowned. She had deleted the memories of all the men she interviewed, so how come there were still some who slipped through the net?

"You remembered it wrongly." She asked confidently, "I'm only in my twenties, how could I have seen you almost fifty years ago?"

Old Master Ye sneered, "Others may not be able to do it, but you can, Master Youmingsi."

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the study became anxious and tense.

Shangguan Qing kept silent, and Old Master Ye also did not break the silence.

The two of them were competing with each other as they stared at each other, and lightning and thunder burst out at the intersection of their magnetic fields.

"So? What do you want?" She said fearlessly, "So what even if you know."

Could she be afraid of him?

At worst, I can delete the memory decades later, the result will be the same.

"I cut my chest with a knife and I still have the scar. Do you know that was a critical period for me to enlist in the army?"

Just because of the wounds on his body, his application to join the army failed, and he had to continue to wander during the war.

If it weren't for her, how could he have gone through several years of hunger?

Mr. Ye accused excitedly, "I will never remember your appearance or voice wrong in my life!"

"I'm sorry I forgot to treat your wound."

Logically, she would delete her memory of all the men she interviewed and let the wounds heal.

She didn't remember what Mr. Ye's situation was at the time, so why was he excluded?

"So what do you want?" she asked sharply.

She will admit her mistakes and will not evade the responsibilities she should bear.

Seeing that she didn't make excuses, Mr. Ye felt more receptive to her frank admission. After his expression eased a little, he took a sip of tea and pondered for a while.

"My grandson seems to like you."

He raised his eyes, "Miss Shangguan, what about you? Do you like Chu Zhou?"

Shangguan Qing knew what he wanted to hear. He just wanted to give his grandson a granddaughter-in-law he liked.

Unfortunately she couldn't do it.

"We can be friends, but not lovers."

She added, "Dr. Ye may not have had the time to tell you that I'm married."

"Chu Zhou knows?" Grandpa Ye's eyes were filled with shock, and he was also worried about his grandson's emotions.

"I know." Shangguan Qing replied.

This time, he was completely speechless.

"Since Chu Zhou doesn't care, then I, an old man, can only support him."

He bent down tiredly, the years clinging to him, and he looked much older in an instant.

Mr. Ye, "Are you here to ask about the short knife and General Shangguan?"

The two finally got to the point.

Shangguan Qing nodded, "Yes."

Then she took out the tiger talisman and placed it on the coffee table, "And this."

When Mr. Ye saw the tiger talisman, his eyes lit up and he held it in his palm as if he had seen a priceless treasure.

"It is it! Yes, that's it!" he exclaimed.

"What do you mean?" Her eyes moved between the tiger talisman and his surprised expression.

Old Master Ye picked up the magnifying glass next to him and carefully examined the tiger talisman over and over again.

After a few minutes, he carefully put down the tiger talisman with both hands.

"This is not General Shangguan's, it is the military token of his enemy's general." He continued seriously, "The short sword was also given to this enemy general by General Shangguan."

Shangguan Qing was curious, "How do you know? Is there any historical record?"
