Then he asked, "Can your mother manage on her own?"
It wasn't that he looked down on that silly roe deer, it's just that those two were a bit unreliable. He'd worried about them for half his life, and now that they were suddenly letting him go, he was genuinely a little uneasy.
Wei Qingyan smiled mysteriously, "Grandmother will keep you in suspense and won't tell you."
Shi Yan said helplessly, "Grandmother, my daughter is about to get married, please stop teasing me like a child."
He had to maintain some fatherly authority in front of his daughter.
But in fact, he was always easy to talk to in front of Ye Zhen, so Ye Zhen didn't feel anything was wrong. On the contrary, he was very happy that his father could go to Dayuan with him.
The group chatted and laughed as they entered the inner palace.
The inner palace was quiet, unlike before.
In the past, with the two silly roe deer around, every year when Grandma and the others came back, the two silly roe deer would run all over the palace looking for their elders to play with, and the two of them could make such a fuss that they would tear the palace apart.
Now that the two roe deer are gone, but logically, with the return of the grandfather, father, mother, elder brother, and sister-in-law, there should be some noise.
She then asked, "Grandmother, where are my grandfather and father? Didn't they come back together?"
They'll all come back for Qingming Festival from now on.
Before Wei Qingyan could answer, a cold snort came from above, "It's a good thing you finally remembered your grandfather. Knowing that the little rascal ran away, you weren't in a hurry to come back, leaving me here to handle government affairs for you."
As soon as the words were spoken, a tall figure appeared before the crowd. He was male but had feminine features, and was an absolutely stunning beauty.
Shi Yan bowed respectfully, "Grandfather."
Sigh, my seniority is too low; I've completely lost my authority in front of my daughter.
The man ignored him completely and went straight to Ye Zhen, his eyes crinkling with a smile. "My dear great-grandson, I am your great-grandfather, Shi Yu."
Madam Wang, "..."
I'm confused.
She had always thought that Shi Yan took the Crown Princess's surname, so how come his grandfather also had the surname Shi?
Wei Qingyan further explained, "It's a long story, but to put it simply, my old man was switched at birth and sent to the Shi family, becoming my father's adopted brother. Even after he found out his true identity, he never changed his surname."
Thinking that his family's surnames were indeed somewhat complicated, Wei Qingyan offered another explanation.
"But our son, Shi Yan's father, took the surname of the old man's biological father, Xiao."
The Shi brothers were brothers; the elder brother also had the surname Xiao, while Shi Yan came with the Wei side.
Goodness!
Madam Wang felt that if she were a little less intelligent, she wouldn't be able to figure out this relationship.
One family with several surnames!
The children were constantly being replaced, and the stories here were probably more exciting than any of the novels she had ever read before.
And the old immortal actually called her man "old man"? How could there be such a handsome old man? He looks younger than her Jing Shuo, and he is probably the most handsome person she has ever seen in her life.
Yes, it's a person.
And not just men.
He was more handsome than many women she had ever seen.
Ye Zhen was also somewhat shocked. Unlike Wei Qingyan, who had appeared in her dreams, she had already accepted that Wei Qingyan was her great-grandmother.
But she was still somewhat stunned when a man who looked to be about her age claimed to be her great-grandfather.
To Shi Yu, this appearance was simply adorable and endearing.
His peach blossom eyes widened in a smile as he took Ye Zhen's hand. "Come on, my dear grandson, come into the hall with your great-grandfather. There's plenty of delicious food prepared there. Go and see if there's anything else you'd like to eat. I'll have your father make it for you..."
Perhaps it was the bond of blood, but Ye Zhen, having recovered from her shock, felt a sense of familiarity and followed Shi Yu.
Wei Qingyan smiled helplessly at Yin Jiuniang and the others, "The old man dreams of having a girl, but unfortunately I only have a son. My son has two grandsons, and the eldest grandson is also a boy. Therefore, he cherishes Ye Zhen very much."
During the days when Ye Zhen suffered, the old man often hid and shed tears. In order for Ye Zhen to return to Da Wei as soon as possible, the old man encouraged my foolish son to lure Ye Zhen into a dream, restore Xie Jinyao's memories of her past life, and reveal the news to Ye Zhen.
But that goes against cause and effect. Right now, that foolish son is trying to make amends, which is why he didn't come back this time. However, he should be able to make it back for Ye Zhen's wedding.
Yin Jiuniang said, "So that's how it is. Zhen'er was wondering about this before."
She wondered how someone as wicked as Xie Jinyao could have memories of her past life and become a prophet; it turned out she was just a tool for Ye Zhen.
But thinking about it this way, it seems that Xie Jinyao's memory recovery really did push for Li Heng's downfall, and only after the Dayuan matter was settled would Ye Zhen come to Dawei.
Shi Yan only realized this now. As a member of the Shi family, he had been influenced by his family since childhood and knew that there were laws of heaven and rules of earth. The compensation his grandmother talked about was actually punishment.
He was a little worried about his father.
Wei Qingyan patted his shoulder to comfort him.
Then he realized that he hadn't seen his older brother, and wondered if he had done something to stay away from home.
That's how I thought about it, and that's how I asked the question.
Wei Qingyan said, "You'll know in a few days."
He then invited Lady Wang and the others into the palace for a meal.
Shi Yan narrowed his eyes.
Grandmother's mysterious behavior, could it be related to Ye Jinghong?
Or is it that the eldest brother is bringing Ye Jinghong back?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly followed.
Upon entering the hall, Ye Zhen saw his grandfather, who was usually only gentle and warm towards his grandmother, speaking to him with a flattering expression, "My dear grandson, don't worry about your mother. Your great-grandfather will take you to see her in a few days."
