Chapter 117 Speculation
As Grandma Xiao spoke, she was obviously lost in her own emotions.
Or maybe it was because I hadn't talked about the past for too long, and I felt a lot of emotion when I saw old friends.
"He was a man of great character back then, and he worked hard behind the young master. After the Yi family broke up, no one knew where he went. I never thought that I would see him again one day." There was no one else around Grandma Yi, so she could only sigh to Tang Wan.
Tang Wan was silent.
Monkey trainers travel all over the country and naturally won't stay in one place, but Grandma Yi has always stayed here. The fact that I haven't seen this person before can only mean that this person has always been away from home.
"How did grandma get out of the Yi family at that time?" Tang Wanwan expressed her doubts as if she was listening to a story.
Grandma Yi may not have the desire to confide in her before, but at this moment Tang Wan can feel that she wants someone to be by her side and listen to her talk about the past.
"At that time, news came that the eldest son of the Yi family had died on the battlefield. No one knew how much of the old master's property had been donated, and the young master... died not long after. From that time on, the Yi family began to fall into chaos. The old lady couldn't bear the pain of losing two sons in succession and was bedridden. The eldest young mistress returned to her parents' home. The Yi family had no backbone..."
Although there was no sob in Grandma's voice when she spoke, her tone was so leisurely that Tang Wan seemed to be seeing that moment again.
In such a huge mansion, several people were missing one after another. Even the remaining people had left, and some even took away the valuables in the mansion before leaving. It seemed as if the mansion had fallen apart overnight.
"Then there is still Master Qi?" Tang Wan couldn't help but ask.
"The master had been in contact with some unknown people, providing financial and physical support. The eldest and second sons were among those who came to help. Unexpectedly, both of his sons were gone. He couldn't bear the blow and fell ill."
Grandma Yi couldn't help but sigh: "The Yi family had a very bad reputation at that time. You see, even now, no one says anything bad about the Yi family. At that time, anyone who planted the Yi family's land had to pay less money than other families..."
"That family is still kind, but I didn't expect that they would encounter such a thing." Tang Wan didn't know what to say. At that time, it was very normal for someone to die, but for a family, it was indeed a devastating blow.
"It's all from the past." Grandma sighed.
"Later, the master grew up a little, but the situation of the Yi family was not good either. I don't know if it was because of the death of his two sons that he had a quarrel with others. After the master grew up a little, he took the old lady and the son left by the eldest son to Hong Kong. The rest of the people who did not leave were also dismissed. He and I left the Yi family at that time." Grandma Yi said, raising her head and glancing at Qin Zheng.
Tang Wan followed Grandma Yi's gaze and looked at Dong, and then thought about the monkey trainer's expression when he saw Qin Zheng. She always felt that Grandma Yi must be hiding something.
"Just a few days after Master Qi left, soldiers came here to look for him, and they looked very aggressive," said Grandma Qi.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I don't know how Mr. Qi and his wife are doing. If they were still alive, they would be in their seventies or eighties, and the child would be thirty." Grandma Qi sighed.
"So that hot water bottle was left behind by the Qie family?" Tang Wan asked.
Grandma Qi was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"Grandpa Yi went so far away that he couldn't take many things with him, so he left them all to us who didn't leave at the beginning." Grandma Yi lowered her head as if to avoid the topic.
"I talked a little more when I met an old friend today, but it's really nothing. As long as I'm alive, that's enough." Grandma stood up.
Qin Zheng hurriedly supported her. As if she had aged overnight, Grandma looked obviously depressed tonight. She was trembling when she stood up from the stool.
"Go to sleep." Grandma Xiao got up and pushed Qin Zheng's hand away, saying to the two of them without even turning her head.
