He Lanlinfeng decided to take his son and his family back to Nanzhou.
He looked up at his son, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"Children, when you come back to the palace with me, I will make it up to you properly."
Xiao Wenjing didn't dare to make a decision on his own. He looked up at his son and his wife, wanting them to make a decision.
Ye Shi'an was worried that his granddaughter would be kidnapped by He Lan Linfeng, so he quickly stopped him, "Old He, you can't take my granddaughter from me. What will I do if my Sheng'er goes home with you?"
He Lanlin Feng: "Sheng'er is now my granddaughter-in-law, so of course she has to come back to the He Lan family with us."
Ye Shi'an frowned deeply, his eyes resolute and determined: "Old He, at this moment, I am filled with regret! I shouldn't have agreed to help you find your son in the first place. Now, no matter what, I will never allow Sheng'er to go back with you! Back then, after my Sheng'er was unfortunately lost, he went through countless hardships and difficulties. If you don't want your Jingchuan to be a bachelor for the rest of his life, there is only one way—to have him marry into our Tantai family!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongbin was utterly astonished, thinking to himself, "The name Tantai is no ordinary name! It is the imperial surname! It seems that the old man must have an extraordinary background, and is very likely a noble member of the royal family!"
Thinking about this, Xiao Hongbin felt that this matter was of utmost importance and couldn't help but feel worried about the current situation.
"Old friend, you should understand me. I'm already quite old, and I've only just found my own son and grandson. You want my grandson to be a son-in-law? I don't agree!" Helan Linfeng retorted sharply. Although the emperor was a diligent and benevolent ruler, he was also a sister-obsessed brother. If his grandson married into the royal family, he would definitely suffer.
Seeing that his grandfather was about to speak, Shen Yunsheng smiled and said, "Grandpas, please stop arguing. We're not going anywhere; we'll stay in Dahe Village."
Ye Shi'an said with a serious expression, "Sheng'er, this is absolutely not allowed! You are the only and most noble little princess of our Tantai family! How can you stay in this small Dahe Village for a long time? The conditions here are harsh and life is inconvenient. It is really not worthy of your golden branch and jade leaf status. Even if I agree, your royal brother and mother will not agree."
Ye Shi'an shook his head as he spoke. Seeing Xiao Jingchuan clinging tightly to his granddaughter, he pulled his granddaughter over.
He Lanlin Feng, who was standing nearby, immediately added, "I also disagree. One of you is the eldest princess, and the other is the heir to the royal family. How can you only care about your own pleasure and disregard the greater good of the country? You must return to your families, acknowledge your ancestors, and shoulder your responsibilities."
He Lanlinfeng and Ye Shi'an exchanged a glance, then immediately began to play the victim.
“Sheng’er! Your royal brother has already announced to the world that you should be recognized as a member of the royal family. If you don’t go home, I will have no face to go back and see him.”
“Yes! Sheng’er, your grandfather and I are old and should be enjoying our retirement. If you don’t come home, we will have no face to see our deceased relatives.”
Shen Yunsheng and her husband exchanged a glance. They never expected that they would be tricked by the two old men in their family.
They had originally agreed to keep their true identities hidden for the time being, but who could have predicted that these two old men would act unpredictably and reveal their identities to the public so early on.
It's important to understand that once one's identity is exposed, it will inevitably bring a series of unpredictable and thorny problems and severe tests...
Shen Yunsheng frowned helplessly, "Grandpas, don't worry, we will never forget our responsibilities. Once we have settled our affairs, we will go home to pay respects to our ancestors."
Ye Shi'an: "Sheng'er! Please make the arrangements as soon as possible! I haven't spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with my family for many years. I want to take this opportunity to bring you home."
Shen Yunsheng: "Grandpa, don't worry, we'll drive home, it'll be quick."
He Lanlin Feng was furious. If his grandson went home with Ye Shi'an, he would be all alone again.
“Sheng’er, you can’t side with your grandfather. I think you should come home with me first, and then go back to the capital.”
"Old He, don't force me to fall out with you."
"Old friend, it's no use turning your back on me. I've spent my whole life protecting the Tantai family's empire. You can't let down a loyal subject like me!"
Shen Yunsheng's head was throbbing from the two old people's noise. After a moment's thought, she smiled and interrupted them.
“Grandpa, please stop arguing. Once we’ve finished dealing with our current matters, we’ll go back to the capital together for the Mid-Autumn Festival. As for where we’ll stay after that, we’ll discuss it later.” After saying this, Shen Yunsheng immediately gestured to her husband, hoping he could help persuade her two grandfathers.
Returning to the capital for the Mid-Autumn Festival is an important family gathering and the first step for them to reconnect with their ancestors. They cannot allow bad elements to take advantage of the situation.
Xiao Jingchuan glanced at his grandfather, then smiled gently. "Grandpa, no matter where we live in the future, I will never abandon you. Just stay with me and don't worry."
"I'm relieved to hear that."
Upon hearing this, Helan Linfeng's face lit up with joy. After chatting with his grandson for a while, he walked up to Luo Shi and Xiao Xuemei, and said to Luo Shi with a smile, "Daughter-in-law, don't worry, with me here, I won't let you live a hard life anymore."
As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Xuemei and her sister, "Children, you don't need to be afraid. Your grandfather will take good care of you from now on. After you are recognized by your ancestors, I will petition His Majesty to grant you the title of princess."
Hearing this, Xiao Xuemei and her sister felt very warm inside, and their eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.
