Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Liu Shi’s brain was buzzing as if she had been struck by lightning.

What? Her jade pendant was with the Imperial Advisor? And then his daughter found out and asked for it back?

Doesn’t he already know about her?

Looking at the terrified and bewildered Liu Shi, Lin Xiaoyue reached out and patted her mother’s back.

“Mother, you said that Li Xiao and I are hiding something from you. Aren’t you doing the same?”

Liu Shi’s body stiffened.

“What…have I been hiding from you?” She would never admit it.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

“The Imperial Advisor told me everything. He said you are his…”

Liu Shi instantly looked at Lin Xiaoyue and reached out to cover her mouth.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Keep your voice down.” She was saying contradictory words and looking around, afraid that someone would see her.

Even though Liu Shi did not successfully cover her mouth, Lin Xiaoyue did not continue to speak.

Instead, she looked at Liu Shi with a smile.

Only then did Liu Shi realize that she had been exposed.

After a moment of silence, Lin Xiaoyue reached out and held Liu Shi’s warm hand.

“After being separated for so many years, don’t you want to see grandpa?”

Liu Shi’s body trembled. Then, she raised her head and looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

There was pain in her expression.

Did her daughter really know?

Lin Xiaoyue patted the back of her hand. “Ever since you went missing,

Grandpa has been looking for you for more than ten years.”

“Back then, he even came to Qingshi Town and coincidentally taught Fan Teng for a period of time.”

Liu Shi was shocked.

“Wha…When?” She asked Lin Xiaoyue.

He actually came to Qingshi Town? And he went to the Zhou Manor? The Zhou

Manor was not far from Daishi Village.

“Eight years ago.” Lin Xiaoyue said. A glint flashed across her eyes.

As expected, her mother still remembered her grandfather.

However, because of what happened back then, she did not dare to look for her grandfather.

“Eight years ago?” Liu Shi murmured, holding Lin Xiaoyue’s hand and subconsciously increasing her strength.

Lin Xiaoyue could feel her mother’s nervousness and reached out to pat Liu Shi’s back.

“Mother!” she called out softly.

“Grandpa came back with me this time.”

Liu Shi’s face instantly turned pale as she looked up at Lin Xiaoyue.

His eyes were filled with fear and inquiry.

Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

“Grandpa is currently in Qingshi Town.”

“He is worried that you wouldn’t want to see him, so he didn’t follow me intthe village.”

Liu Shi’s pupils constricted, and her body almost trembled.

A moment later, she quickly looked away and stopped looking at her daughter.

Lin Xiaoyue saw through her mother and once again held Liu Shi’s hand.

“This time, grandpa won’t go back until he sees you.” She looked at Liu Shi’s reaction.

Unfortunately, Liu Shi still lowered her head.

Lin Xiaoyue sighed, “the capital is full of danger. It’s all thanks to grandpa that I’m safe.”

Only then did Liu Shi raise her head and look at Lin Xiaoyue worriedly.

“Grandpa said that you look 80% similar to grandma. Is that true?” Lin Xiaoyue asked Liu Shi.

Liu Shi’s eyes flashed with a touch of fluctuation as she reached out to stroke the hair beside Lin Xiaoyue’s ear.

It should be. Her mother had passed away too early, and her memories were already blurry.

“Because of my looks, some people can guess the relationship between us the moment they see me.” Lin Xiaoyue said.

Liu Shi paused, fear in her eyes.

“However, the problem has been solved.”

“Grandpa said that he had already confessed to the emperor about what happened back then. The emperor did not pursue the matter further.”

“No one else will be able to use this point to attack grandpa.”

“This time, he came back with me and also obtained the Emperor’s permission.” Lin Xiaoyue said.

Liu Shi was stunned.

“He…” He actually took the initiative to tell the Emperor the secret?

Lin Xiaoyue nodded and pulled Liu Shi’s hand into her arms.

“It’s true.” She looked into Liu Shi’s eyes and said.

Liu Shi’s eyes shrank again.

“Mother, grandpa has been worried about you for more than ten years. You should go and see him.” Lin Xiaoyue said.

Liu Shi’s eyes were struggling, and she lowered her head again.

Lin Xiaoyue saw this and continued, “the court is busy, and the Emperor relies heavily on grandpa. However, he is already old and has a head full of white hair. If you don’t see him this time, I’m afraid that in the future…”

Her grandfather had white hair and a youthful face. He looked like he could live to a hundred years old. But what she said now was not false.

The old man’s hair was indeed white now..
