Seeing Zhu Qinghao nod slightly, Sheng Yi instructed the little boy at the scene to look after Zhu Qinghao before sneaking away from his uncle and running back to his maternal grandmother's house.
He never imagined that the little boy was the later Liu Yansong, and he never imagined that he would so unclearly take over his jade pendant and identity!
After listening to Sheng Yi's account, the Zhu family and Old Master Sheng all fell silent, sighing inwardly.
If it weren't for that incident, the person who wished for a happy engagement would have been Sheng Yi.
Everyone had thought of this, and the Zhu family elders naturally did too. When Grandpa Sheng looked over, he found his old friend looking at him with a guilty expression.
Zhu Huaichuan felt quite ashamed. He had originally made a verbal agreement with Sheng Bojian about a childhood betrothal, but in the end, he listened to a fortune teller's nonsense and tied Zhu Qinghao and Liu Yansong together.
At this moment, an inappropriate thought popped into the minds of the Zhu family:
Fortunately, something happened to the Zhu family, otherwise Zhu Qinghao would definitely have married Liu Yansong by now, and she would be tied to that scumbag for life.
Seeing that the atmosphere had become somewhat tense, Old Master Sheng chuckled twice:
"Oh my, it's you two again after all this time! What does that mean? It's fate! The kind that can't be separated no matter what we do, hahaha, great, wonderful!"
As soon as Grandpa Sheng spoke, everyone echoed his words, and the atmosphere in the room quickly warmed up again, with everyone chatting and laughing.
Sheng Bojian knew that Grandpa Zhu might feel a little guilty, so he specially sat down next to him and patted his hand to comfort him.
He could truly understand what Master Zhu was doing. If the same thing had happened to Sheng Yi, he would have done something even more outrageous.
After all, the Sheng family had only one son in five generations.
Fortunately, Sheng Yi is resilient. Even though he grew up with Grandpa Sheng, who wasn't very good at taking care of children, he still managed to grow into the person he is today.
Sheng Yi's parents originally worked in the military. In the same year that the grandfather and grandson were taken to the military, the couple both died in the line of duty.
Sheng Yi was only four years old at that time.
Grandpa Sheng had already lost his wife, and then suddenly lost his only son and daughter-in-law, leaving only his young grandson to depend on him. It is easy to imagine how much he cherished Sheng Yi.
Therefore, he could particularly understand how much Old Master Zhu cherished Zhu Qinghao, and he did not feel that it was unfair to him to arrange another marriage for Zhu Qinghao based on what a fortune teller said.
Moreover, he knew very well that after Zhu Qinghao was born, Grandpa Zhu had never mentioned getting engaged to Sheng Yi because he was considering that his granddaughter was in poor health and Sheng Yi was an only child.
Without even a second thought, it's clear that the other party didn't want to disrupt their family's life and thus cut off their lineage.
In fact, Sheng Bojian himself had similar thoughts, but after his son and daughter-in-law left, he became more open-minded.
Anyway, when a person dies, nothing remains. How can they possibly see how many descendants dressed in mourning clothes are standing in front of their own funeral hall? So whether incense is offered or not is not as important as the living.
In addition, he had a good impression of the young lady from the Zhu family, whom he had personally rescued. He would be happy to see his grandson marry her.
Later, when he heard that Zhu Qinghao had gotten engaged, he only felt a little sorry and didn't have any other thoughts. He even continued to make medicine for her every year and asked someone to bring it back to her.
Unexpectedly, the Zhu family suffered a sudden and drastic change. Zhu Qinghao also benefited from the misfortune, her health improved, and she even got together with Sheng Yi.
Over the years, he had actually noticed that his grandson had no interest in other girls, but he never expected that he would still be thinking about that little girl from the Zhu family.
So now, Mr. Sheng is truly happy.
After hearing his true thoughts, Grandpa Zhu stopped worrying and opened up to his old friend about the future.
Zhu Qinghao and Sheng Yi looked at each other in surprise, neither of them expecting that they would experience so many twists and turns before they were even together.
