Yan Muxi choked up and nodded, "Xixi must have kept it well and lived up to Grandpa's kindness."

She and her mother were so lucky to have such a good relative like Grandpa, who always gave without asking for anything in return.

Moreover, she could not take care of herself and could not give anything in return to Grandpa.

Qian Chongguang rubbed her hair and said, "Grandpa is not afraid of being let down. Grandpa only hopes that you and your mother can live a peaceful and smooth life."

Grandpa’s palms were so big that they could almost cover Yan Muxi’s entire head, but his palms were extremely gentle, as if he was caressing a priceless treasure every time.

Yan Muxi really liked having her grandpa touch her head, but at the moment she was so uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe.

He said childishly, "But I also want Grandpa to be well, and I don't want him to be controlled by others forever."

Qian Chongguang paused, "Xixi, remember what Grandpa said today. If you are not absolutely sure, don't try to provoke your father."

"Why? Will Dad really beat me to death?" Yan Muxi didn't understand. Grandpa reminded her more than once not to provoke Dad.

Even a tiger does not eat its own cubs. Is Yan Yongchen more vicious than a wild beast?

Qian Chongguang's expression was unusually cold, and he did not directly answer her question, "In short, Xixi, you should listen to Grandpa and marry into the Rong Palace obediently. No matter how bad the Rong Palace is, it is still thousands of times better than the Yan Palace... If you are safe, Grandpa will worry less!"

Qian Chongguang had tried to resist Yan Yongchen's unscrupulous exploitation and humiliation, but all his attempts ended in vain.

Yan Yongchen is an evil ghost without any weaknesses, and the little girl's cleverness is no match for him.

Three days later, Yan Yongchen returned from the southern border, exhausted, and went to Manwei Garden the first thing he did.

After entering the door, Yan Yongchen bowed respectfully to Qian Chongguang and said, "Father-in-law, I'm going to read Man'er first!"

Looking at his father with unshaven beard and a worried look on his face, Yan Muxi was in a trance for a moment.

In fact, it was not just this time. There were many times before when she truly believed that her father loved her mother and cared about her.

A person's fake acting is more real than the real thing! Yan Yongchen is really scarier than a demon.

"Go!" Qian Chongguang waved his hand indifferently. Seeing Yan Muxi was about to chase into the bedroom, he quickly reached out to grab her back and shook his head to signal her not to follow.

After a while, Qian Manman's voice was heard from the inner room, "Husband, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell me when you left? I missed you for so long..."

Yan Muxi opened his eyes wide in disbelief and ran towards the inner room despite his grandfather's attempts to stop him.

In the bedroom, Yan Yongchen sat beside the bed, holding Qian Manman, who had fallen asleep again.

Seeing Yan Muxi come in, he gently placed the person in his arms back on the couch and carefully tucked the quilt for her.

Then he turned around and smiled at Yan Muxi to comfort her, "Sister Xi, don't worry too much. Your mother will be fine!"

Dad's smile was as gentle and warm as usual, but Yan Muxi felt creepy.

Grandpa was right, she couldn't afford to offend the evil spirit in front of her.

Maybe it was because she was too frightened or angry, but her tears flowed uncontrollably.

Unable to control herself, she burst into tears, "Wuwuwu..." She asked while crying, "Why did you come back just now... Why did you leave sick mother behind... Why did you treat mother like this... Mother only has you in her heart... Wuwuwu..."

Yan Yongchen stood there blankly, his eyes dull and lifeless. He seemed to want to say something, but he opened his mouth but nothing came out.

"Miss, don't cry. The master and the old man are here. Madam will be fine..." Yinxia hugged Yan Muxi, stroking her back and comforting her softly.

After following the young lady for six years, this was the first time that Yinxia saw her young lady so out of control.

Only she knew that recently all the troubles had been like rocks falling on her, but the young lady had been forcing herself to smile and holding on with gritted teeth.

But no matter how strong she is, she is just a girl in her teens, her spine is not yet hard, and she can't hold up a heavy stone.

Qian Chongguang followed Yan Yongchen to the study in the front yard, while Yan Muqing and Yan Mujun came together to see Qian Manman.

After the polite exchanges, Yan Muyun went to the inner room as usual to take Qian Manman's pulse and give her acupuncture.

Yan Muqing loosened her teeth that were biting her lower lip and asked what she had been holding back for three days, "I heard that Grandfather Qian will stay in Luodu City for a while. In addition to my mother's illness, does Grandfather Qian have any other important matters?"

Yan Muxi didn't want to beat around the bush with her, "What important things can my grandpa have? He is just fulfilling his duty as a purse!"

Hearing this, Yan Muqing felt relieved.

After all her efforts, she still couldn't stop the Qian family from helping her father seize the position of Shangshu?

No, her father’s official position cannot go any higher. The higher he goes, the more uncontrollable it will be. She must stop the Qian family’s deal with her father.

"Father has been away for several months and I don't know whether he has gained weight or lost weight. I'll go to the front yard to take a look!" Yan Mucheng said as he stood up and was about to leave.

Yan Muxi glanced at her and said coldly, "I advise you to go look for father later! I'm afraid my father doesn't have time to see you. For my father right now, my mother's illness is more important than anything else." She deliberately emphasized the last few words.

Yan Muqing stopped and looked into the room in a daze when he realized something, then he opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

Could it be that Qian's strange illness was caused by her father? Her father actually used his wife's life to force the Yue family to submit to him.

Yan Muqing had suspected the strangeness of Qian's illness before, but he just couldn't believe that his father could do this.

In both her past and present lives, her father had always been particularly partial to Qian. She had thought that Qian's importance in her father's heart was different from that of her mother, but it turned out that they were the same, both pathetic stepping stones who were only worthy of being used.

Seeing that Yan Muqing's face had turned even paler, Yan Muxi felt like he had missed something.

Yan Mucheng caused so many troubles, is it just because he doesn't want to enter the Eastern Palace?

Yan Muqing is neither stupid nor foolish. There is obviously an easier way for her not to marry into the royal family, so why does she have to go around in circles and start with her?

In the study room in the outer courtyard, Qian Chongguang sat down without any polite words and pushed the palm-sized brocade box in front of Yan Yongchen.

Yan Yongchen opened the brocade box, took out the seal inside, looked at it, and then put it back.

"Is my father-in-law satisfied with Sister Xi's marriage?"

"It is Sister Xi's blessing to marry into Prince Rong's Mansion." Qian Chongguang said lightly.

"Everyone in Luodu knows that Prince Rong loves Sister Yun, and Sister Xi must be feeling uncomfortable. In addition, she was abducted when she was young, so I think Sister Xi is not suitable to marry into a rich family."

Yan Yongchen paused, and then said, "Actually, if Sister Xi doesn't want to get married, she doesn't have to enter Prince Rong's mansion."

Qian Chongguang pretended not to care and picked up the teacup, "What do you mean by that, son-in-law?"

"The Queen Mother and His Majesty both favor Prince Rong. Princess Rong must be both talented and beautiful, and have a noble character. She will definitely not accept a sick or disabled woman into the palace..."

With a crisp "crack" sound, Qian Chongguang crushed the teacup in his hand.
