Chapter 376 Hit it off
Looking at the furnishings in the room, which were not luxurious but elegant, the old man was even more satisfied. He walked directly to the main seat and sat down, then said to Shen Yu, "Don't be nervous. I like this courtyard you prepared very much, but have you really thought it through? Do you really want me to stay here for a long time?"
Shen Yu nodded subconsciously, and then asked, "Grandfather, is there any reason why you can't live in the palace for a long time?"
The old man narrowed his eyes at her and said, "Do you know... my last name is Ji?"
Shen Yu was surprised. She really forgot, but...
"I know. Then what? Grandfather and mother have been surnamed Ji for a long time. If there is a problem, why don't they change their surnames? Since none of you have changed your surnames, and mother still married into the palace with the surname Ji, doesn't that mean there is no problem with this matter?"
"Hahahaha! Well said! You're such an interesting girl!"
Seeing him suddenly burst into laughter again, Shen Yu was speechless. She secretly glanced at Butler Lu and found that he had been keeping his head down and didn't even look at her. That proved that she was right, right?
So, this grandfather’s sense of humor is different from others?
Seeing Shen Yu's expression constantly changing, lively and interesting, and finally without the fake dignity just now, the old man was satisfied, and sighed, "Yes... Such a simple truth, we are a group of old guys, but we are not as clear as a girl like you, forget it, then I will really stay here?"
Shen Yu really couldn't figure it out. Why did he need to confirm this matter again and again? So he asked directly, "Grandfather, did someone in Zhuocheng not allow you to live in the palace before? Or is there something you can't tell me? Don't be afraid, Lu Yingxing and I are back, and we will live here from now on!"
The young man named Ruilin also looked up at her when he heard that.
The old man looked at her with increasingly gentle eyes, as if this was a young person who was standing up for him, but through her, it seemed as if he was looking at someone else. There was another girl in the past who told him not to be afraid...
Noticing the sudden sadness in the old man's eyes, Shen Yu felt guilty. He must have brought back bad memories for him. "Grandfather..."
The old man's eyes quickly regained clarity, and he turned to look at her and said seriously, "How much do you know about our affairs?"
Shen Yu was stunned, and immediately understood what he was asking. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Cang Yu, clear the area."
Looking at the secret guards who suddenly appeared to chase people away, Old Man Ji raised his eyebrows. It seemed that she really knew... I thought she was ignorant and fearless, but now it seems that she is more like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger. That's good.
"Princess, I'm outside the door." Cangyu's voice came, meaning that the area was under martial law.
Only the old man, Shen Yu, and housekeeper Lu were left in the room. He wanted to leave, but the old man asked him to stay. "Although the master doesn't dare to show up, there must be someone to help him listen."
Butler Lu: "...Yes!"
Shen Yu coughed lightly and took the initiative to rescue Uncle Lu, "Grandfather, the mansion is not clean yet, so if you want to say any secrets in the future, you'd better pay attention."
The old man asked with interest, "Oh? You knew it was unclean, so why did you keep him here?"
Shen Yu shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Well, there are thieves who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days. Our huge Zhuo Palace always needs to recruit new people. After I clear out one batch, they will recruit another batch. Our supervisor will have to help them train the new people? I won't do this loss-making business! It's better to control these people in my hands and provide some false information to the outside world from time to time. It's very convenient!"
"You are such a carefree girl!" The old man took a sip of tea and admired her even more.
Shen Yu was not polite, "Grandfather, you should just call me Yu'er. I always call you a baby. If you don't know, you might think you are talking about the little great-grandson in my belly..."
When the matter was mentioned, a hint of tenderness inadvertently flashed across the old man's face, but soon, it was replaced by an anger that was difficult to conceal, "Humph! How dare you mention this? If I hadn't come, were you planning to keep me from knowing about my little great-grandson?"
He got angry just talking about this. God knows that he had been waiting at home since the first day when the news of the princess' pregnancy spread, but no matter what, he never got to see the person who announced the good news. How disappointed he was? That was the last bloodline of their Ji family...
When Shen Yu heard this, he thought, it’s over, we don’t want to take the blame!
In the spirit of dying for the poor but not for the friends, she immediately said in surprise, "What?! Father didn't send anyone to tell grandfather about such a happy event? This is really wrong! He should be punished!"
Seeing that she dared to put the blame on her own father on the spot, the old man liked her more and more.
Then, she smiled wickedly and said, "Grandfather, don't worry. I will personally take care of your arrangements in the future. It doesn't matter if the father is unreliable, you still have me and Xing! You can stay here without worry. Come and play with us when you have nothing to do. You can also play with your little great-grandson in the future. Otherwise, you can exercise your supreme right as a father-in-law and go to play with the father. Anyway, you are the most powerful person in the mansion now, and he dare not resist!"
Butler Lu listened with mixed feelings to the princess's quick change of sides, and secretly lit a candle for his old prince.
Shen Yu didn't think that there was anything wrong with her selling out her father for fame. Didn't he also want to use her to help Lu Yingxing get rid of his romantic interests? They were even!
Besides, the old man has been displeased with my father for many years, and someone has to bear the brunt of this anger. As a junior, it is not appropriate for her to take over!
"Hahaha! Interesting, so interesting! I'm really looking forward to this day! Hey, tell me again, how can I use my rights as a father-in-law?"
Shen Yu smiled maliciously. Wasn't my father pretending to be sick? Haha!
Ruilin looked at the princess who was whispering to the old man with a strange look on his face. If I remembered correctly, she ordered people to clear the place to talk about the Ji family, right? But how did he hear about "the rights and obligations of a son-in-law"? And "how did the father-in-law become a father-in-law"?
Are there really such books out there? Ruilin expressed his doubts.
But seeing the old man showing a rare energetic look, he felt that he would rather have these stories... At least the old man would be so energetic for a long time to come.
When Lu Yingxing walked in, he saw the grandparents and grandchildren acting like good friends.
The lady would come closer from time to time, and the grandfather would smile wickedly as he listened. It felt like Gao Yong was about to take Yu Meng out to play secretly... but it was the first time he saw his grandfather so lively.
He remembers his grandfather who held him on his lap while he studied, a man of elegant manners, calm and reserved. He also remembers his grandfather who taught him calligraphy, a man of gentle manners and kind manners.
The only thing I have never seen is a grandfather who looks like a naughty old boy. It turns out that behind his solemnity and kindness, there is such joy and unrestrainedness, as if he had taken off a layer of shackles and released the purest smile in his heart.
He looked at the woman next to him who had a clear and bright smile, and a faint smile spread across his face. His wife was really capable.
