The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

His hand was cut by the fragments and blood was gushing out, but Qian Chongguang seemed unconscious, staring at Yan Yongchen with his scarlet eyes.

He questioned word by word, "The mine has been given to you, what else do you want?"

Yan Yongchen slowly took out a handkerchief and handed it to Qian Chongguang, "Don't worry, father-in-law. Wipe the dirt off your hands first, and then we can talk."

Yan Da, the personal attendant, came in and placed new teacups on the table without saying a word.

After the study door was closed again, Yan Yongchen said, "I heard that my father-in-law has transferred the private salt business in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas?"

Knowing that he was asking about this matter, Qian Chongguang was slightly relieved, "Silver mining costs a lot in the early stages, so I had to transfer part of the business."

"The private salt business is the lifeblood of the Qian family. Father-in-law, please think twice before taking your pulse next time." Yan Yongchen picked up the teacup.

Qian Chongguang knew that he meant to send the guest away, "The Qian family has done our best to help you advance in your career. Xixi's blood is yours, so let her go!" After saying that, he stood up and walked out without saying anything more.

The footsteps became farther and farther away until they could no longer be heard. Yan Yongchen sat there quietly.

After a long time, he moved his neck, placed his palm on the sharp porcelain piece, stabbed it hard, and watched the blood flow out with an expressionless face.

Red blood flowed across the table, and drop by drop fell on the dark bluestone floor. The blood splattered like fireworks, and after a brilliant moment, it ended sadly.

Yan Da came in and saw this, walked quickly to Yan Yongchen, took his hand away from the porcelain piece, and took out a handkerchief to stop the bleeding.

When the bleeding had mostly stopped, Yan Da asked, "Do we need to be on guard against that woman Minghui?"

"No need. Let her do whatever she wants. Just save my life." Yan Yongchen looked out the window, his eyes empty and lifeless.

At the gate, Yan Muxi caught up with Qian Chongguang who was about to leave the house, panting.

"Grandpa! Why didn't Grandpa send anyone to the inner courtyard to inform me when he left the house?"

Qian Chongguang calmly hid his injured right hand behind his back, and said lovingly with a smile: "Grandpa will come over tomorrow, it's not like we won't see each other anymore. Is little Xixi really so clingy and unwilling to let Grandpa leave the house?"

"You should have let me know, so I don't have to wait in vain!"

While talking all the way, Yan Muxi sent Qian Chongguang to the gate of the mansion.

Seeing that there was no one around, she leaned in closer and asked in a low voice, "Did Grandpa and Father reach an agreement? Did he say when Mom will wake up?"

Before he could get a reply, he smelled blood. Yan Muxi was startled and quickly pulled Qian Chongguang over to take a closer look.

Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Qian Chongguang had no choice but to offer his big palm, "If you are not careful, you may get cut by the broken porcelain pieces, but it's no big deal."

Looking at the wounds that were still bleeding, Yan Muxi's eyes turned red and she asked through gritted teeth, "He, did it?"

Qian Chongguang shook his head and denied it, "Grandpa hurt himself by crushing the teacup. After paying a large sum of money, Grandpa can't just show off and scare people!"

Yan Muxi didn't believe a word he said and turned around and walked back into the mansion.

Qian Chongguang was afraid that she would make a scene out of anger, so he pulled her back and dragged her into a carriage parked nearby.

After getting in the car, Qian Chongguang opened the secret compartment under the seat, took out the medicine box and stuffed it into Yan Muxi's arms.

"Hurry up and apply medicine to Grandpa, otherwise there will be no blood left!"

"Grandpa~" Qian Muxi sniffed, "Forget it, listen to Grandpa and apply the medicine first."

She opened the box and took out the hemostatic powder, carefully and evenly sprinkled it on the wound, then tore off a large piece of gauze and wrapped her palm.

Qian Chongguang stared at her movements quietly, and the depression in his heart disappeared unknowingly.

"Xixi, grandpa's money has been spent. You better be good and don't make trouble. Do you hear me?"

Yan Muxi put the medicine bottle and gauze back into the box, lowered her eyes and did not respond.

Qian Chongguang knew that she was unwilling to accept this, and he sighed, "Alas, Grandpa was concerned about the blood relationship between you and Yan Yongchen, so he didn't tell you some things... You were exploited and humiliated by your father without any bottom line. Do you really think that Grandpa didn't resist? Do you know who Yan Da is beside your father?"

In fact, after Qian Manman had a miscarriage, Qian Chongguang was so angry that he not only cut off Yan Yongchen's supply, but also wanted to kill him.

He spent a large sum of money to hire the best swordsman in Jiangnan to assassinate Yan Yongchen, hoping to put an end to it all and put an end to his daughter's thoughts.

Using the number one swordsman to kill Yan Yongchen, a weak official, is like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken. There is no possibility of failure.

But a few days later, the swordsman returned the full amount of the reward to Qian Chongguang, and then stayed with Yan Yongchen as his personal attendant.

Then his granddaughter went missing, and he couldn't find her no matter how hard he searched all over Jiangnan.

Since then, Qian Chongguang realized that Yan Yongchen was very evil and was definitely not as simple as he seemed.

Upon learning that there was a hidden story behind what happened back then, Yan Muxi was shocked beyond words.

No wonder grandpa always looked at her with guilt in his eyes, it turned out that he blamed himself for her loss.

Seeing that she was stunned for a long time without responding, Qian Chongguang continued, "From the beginning, your father was the chess player. He seemed to be playing a big game of chess. Grandpa, your mother, everyone in the Su Mansion, and even your father's concubines were all chess pieces in his hands. How could a controlled chess piece possibly fight against the chess player? So Xixi, don't make any meaningless struggles now. Jump off the chessboard successfully first and then talk about the future. If you really don't want to give up, it won't be too late to turn over the chessboard when you have enough confidence in the future."

Yan Muxi clenched and unclenched his fists, and after a long while, he nodded to Qian Chongguang, "Okay, I'll listen to Grandpa."

On the way back to the yard, Yan Muxi met Yan Muqing who was walking in a hurry.

It was only March and the weather had just warmed up, but Yan Muqing walked out with sweat all over his forehead, and it was obvious that it was caused by the pain in his leg injury.

Yan Muxi looked at her and asked, "Where are you in such a hurry to go, big sister?"

Yan Muqing suppressed his breath and said, "I came to look for you and to see if Grandfather Qian has left the house?"

"Big sister seems to be very concerned about my grandpa?" Without waiting for her response, Yan Muxi said, "Thank you for your concern, big sister. My grandpa has left the house. If you have any questions, please look for him tomorrow!"

If what Grandpa said was true, and they were all pawns on their father's chessboard, then the future fate of Yan Muqing and her daughter would not be any better.

Yan Muqing's dreams can predict the future. I wonder if Yan Muqing has already predicted the fate of her and her daughter, which is why she wants to stop it in advance.

If she doesn't marry into the Eastern Palace, her father won't be able to become a relative of the royal family.

The plan to have her enter Prince Rong's Mansion seemed to be to prevent her marriage with her cousin, but in fact it might be to block the transaction between the Qian family and his father.

In other words, everything Yan Muqing did was actually to block his father's official career.

However, Yan Muching obviously used the wrong method. It was all in vain and in the end he ended up hurting others and himself!

Considering that they were all pitiful pawns, Yan Muxi reminded them, "Big sister will be entering the Eastern Palace soon. If you climb to a high position in the future, even father will rely on you. Don't forget to support us relatives."

Looking at Yan Muxi's departing figure, Yan Muqing stood there for a long time without moving.

Climb to a high position? Rely on her?

Yes, no matter how high her father's official position is, it is not higher than the crown prince. Why must she be so obsessed with her father's promotion at this moment?
