Chapter 72: The old lady’s entrustment

Translator: 549690339

“it’s all thanks to yan!” the old lady smiled affectionately at shi yan.

“Grandma Jiang, you’re too kind,” Shi Yan smiled calmly.

She didn’t claim any credit, nor did she deny that it wasn’t her credit.

the meal ended in such a calm manner.

they were not in a hurry to leave. the old lady asked them to have some tea and snacks after dinner.

there had never been a time where they stayed for tea and snacks after lunch because the old lady had the habit of taking a nap after her digestion. she would not stay for long.

apart from shi yan, everyone, including jiang cheng, was puzzled by the old lady’s abnormal behavior today.

Jiang Rui sat beside Jiang Cheng and looked at the old lady sitting on the old man’s chair opposite her. She approached Jiang Cheng and asked in a low voice, ” “Brother, grandmother suddenly asked us to stay. Is there something wrong?”

jiang cheng glanced at the old lady.

“I’m not sure,”

“why do i feel like everyone has been acting weird these past two days? brother you are like this, grandmother is also like this.”

Jiang Cheng looked down at her and rubbed the top of her head. “There’s no such thing, don’t think about it all day.”

he was indeed busy, but he was not sure if his grandmother was. 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m

Just now at the dining table, his grandmother had specifically mentioned that Shi Yan and fifth uncle had gone out together yesterday. He did not think that his grandmother had mentioned it unintentionally.

Grandmother had called them over in the name of eating to remind them that Shi Yan and fifth uncle had an extraordinary relationship.

However, since she had already reminded them at the dinner table, why did grandmother still keep them?

jiang cheng couldn’t guess.

just as he was thinking, jiang heng asked his doubts, ” “Grandmother, you didn’t make us stay just for tea and snacks, did you?”

“Why? can’t I?” the old lady scolded.

Jiang Heng immediately surrendered. Okay, okay, okay. As long as you’re happy, I’ll do anything.

the old lady was amused by his surrender. she looked at jiang cheng and asked, ” “Sheng, I heard you’re going on a business trip for a few days?”

“brother, are you going on a business trip? How come I didn’t know? Are you afraid that I’ll blame you for not being able to send me to school on your business trip? have you not thought of how to tell me?”

Without waiting for Jiang Cheng’s reply, Jiang Rui said, ” “no wonder i’ve been feeling that you’ve been acting weird these past two days.”

“I can send you to school.”

“it’s just that i wasn’t in haicheng during your military training,” jiang cheng said.”i was afraid that something might have happened to you, and i just happened to be away.”

of course, this was not the whole truth.

it was true that he was going on a business trip. she had only confirmed it yesterday.

He had originally planned to tell Jiang Rui ‘er about her background before school started so that she could take the time to relax during the half a month of military training.

When the time came, they wouldn’t be living together. She wouldn’t be able to see her family or him, and she could live in peace. He would also be in Haicheng and could watch over her. If anything happened, he would be able to rush to her side immediately.

however, the sudden business trip disrupted his plans.

it was a very important project that he had to personally handle.

he was hesitating whether he should tell her about jiang rui ‘er’s identity before the business trip. he was afraid that if he told her, he would not be in haicheng to look after her, and he would be worried. he was also afraid that if he didn’t tell her, something might happen during the half a month he was away on a business trip.

as shi yan had said, the truth of jiang rui ‘er’s background could not be hidden for long.

“what’s the big deal? I’m not a child. Can’t I take care of myself after you left for half a month? brother, you’re underestimating me!”

jiang cheng looked at her and didn’t speak.

“So, ah Sheng, it’s true that you’re going on a business trip?” the old lady looked at them.

“yes, grandmother,”

“It’s just a business trip. It’s not a big deal. You’re in charge of such a big company, isn’t it normal for you to go on a business trip? I’ve been able to Protect This House for so many years, so how can I not be able to protect it for half a month? Don’t worry, your grandmother is not dead yet, she won’t let her own family be bullied.”

jiang cheng suddenly looked up at the old lady.

However, the old lady waved her hand and said, ” Alright, alright. You’ve already had your meal and tea. Go back. Don’t be an eyesore here.

He said to Shi Yan, ” Yan, Rui ‘er has never left home. You have more life experience than her. She needs your help to take care of her at school.

shi yan looked at jiang cheng and jiang rui, then at the old lady. she smiled and replied, ” grandma jiang, don’t worry. i won’t let rui ‘er be bullied under my watch. ”

“grandmother, why do you also think that i can’t take care of myself? Yan, why are you joining them? ” i can take care of myself!”

“Yes, I’m just here to join in the fun,” Shi Yan smiled. f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂

Jiang Rui glared at him.

she felt that yan had gone astray.

“yan, i won’t be sending you and rui ‘er off tomorrow. i’m old, and i’m too lazy to move my old bones. i’ll get xiao zhao to clean your yard regularly. remember to come back with rui ‘er after the military training. i’ll wait for you to come back and have dinner with this old woman.”

“okay, grandma jiang.”

“grandmother, don’t worry. i’ll bring yan back in one piece after the military training.”

As Jiang Rui spoke, she walked over to hold Shi Yan’s hand and skipped out of the old lady’s courtyard.

As soon as they left, the old lady’s courtyard instantly became quiet.

“Ah Wan, I asked you to inform my eldest daughter-in-law to come back and stay with me for two days. What did she say?”

” first madam went on a trip with her friends and will only be back in a few days. she said that she would come back to the old mansion to accompany you as soon as she was back. ”

“you’re not going on a vacation earlier or later, but at this time! Use my name to send an invitation to the third brat of the Yu family. Tell him that I heard that old master Yu had passed away from an illness and as an old friend, I am deeply saddened and would like to pay a visit to offer an incense.”

the yu family?

how did the yu family get involved?

Aunt Wan was a little confused.

“The third young master of the Yu family, who left home with old master Yu at the age of eleven, has returned?”

“yes, he’s back. if he didn’t come back, things wouldn’t be so urgent.”

Aunt Wan was even more confused.

“you don’t have to worry about anything else, just send the invitation to the yu family mansion.”

“the yu family’s old mansion? Wasn’t it said that after the Yu family fell, the Yu family’s old residence changed owners several times, and it was bought anonymously by an overseas merchant five years ago? Could it be that the wealthy overseas merchant who bought the Yu family’s old mansion anonymously is Yueyue?”

Aunt Wan was bewildered.

“the third son of the yu family was able to give up his wealth and status to escape with his sick father despite the fact that he lost his family members one after another at the age of eleven. do you think he’s a simple person?” the old lady said.

none of the Yu family’s children are simple. If it wasn’t for that disaster back then, the Yu family’s status in Haicheng would probably be unrivaled. It’s a pity for those two outstanding sons of the Yu family.

Aunt Wan couldn’t help but sigh.

it was indeed a pity for those two people who were so talented.

However, old mistress had suddenly mentioned the Yu family. Could it be that the eldest miss had some sort of relationship with the Yu family?

Aunt Wan was puzzled but did not ask further.

I’ll send the invitation over tomorrow morning. Old Madam, you don’t have to worry too much. Everything has been fine for so many years. There’s no reason for it to happen in just half a month.

“it’s hard to say. if we don’t make a fuss, who knows if others will? but it’s a good thing yan and rui ‘er are in the same school. yan is a steady and reliable child, and rui’ er is close to her. i’m a little more at ease with her looking after her. ”

“Yes, miss Shi Yan is still here.”

Miss Shi Yan could calm the eldest miss down. As long as the young miss’s emotions were stable, nothing else was a problem.

Moreover, with miss Shi Yan around, Lord fifth might also help.

If fifth Lord intervened, there would be even less of a problem.
