I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 702 Seeing the Clues

"Shen Lanxi..."

Jiang Huashan didn't expect this guy to be so cruel, and immediately stepped forward to open the door.

This matter was caused by her. Shen Qingyu incurred public anger because he stood up for her. She can't be so disloyal.

Shen Lanxi pressed the door shut and said calmly, "These tribesmen are stubborn and unrepentant. Someone must be left to bear their wrath."

"..."

So, he just betrayed Shen Qingyu like that?

Jiang Huashan didn't know how to judge Shen Lanxi's protective behavior for a moment, and shook her head, "If someone has to bear the wrath, I'll go! I don't care!"

In this life, she doesn't have to be Mrs. Shen. The reason why she stays in the Shen family is only because of Shen Zhuang, so she doesn't care whether these Shen family members like her or not.

But Shen Qingyu is different. After all, he is a descendant of the Shen family. It would not be good to make things too awkward with these people.

Shen Lanxi lowered his eyes and looked at her quietly. When Jiang Huashan leaned against the door and prepared to leave, he slowly said, "I care..."

Jiang Huashan paused her palm, and her long eyelashes fluttered gently in the halo.

She slowly raised her eyes, a light halo imprinted in her deep eyes. "Do you care? What do you care about?"

Shen Lanxi suddenly didn't dare to look her in the eyes, but as soon as he turned his gaze away, he looked back uncontrollably.

"I……"

He paused slightly, his Adam's apple rolling with difficulty.

"I care"

"boom--"

At this moment, there was a loud noise outside the house. I don’t know who smashed the chair.

Jiang Huashan was stunned and immediately ran to the window to check the situation. The moment he turned sideways, the last "you" was overlooked.

Outside the house, it was a mess.

Several strong men hugged his legs and covered his arms, but they all fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

In the middle of the courtyard, Shen Qingyu sat on a bamboo chair, legs crossed. "You should be thankful that you have caught up with a good era. In the past, anyone who dared to fight the young master would be beaten to death."

The old men in the pavilion were so angry that they beat their chests and stamped their feet. They either brought up their ancestors to put pressure on others or cursed their family's misfortune.

Shen Qingyu didn't indulge them, and added fuel to the fire by being lazy. "The old ancestors really should open their eyes and see what kind of feudal legacy they have left behind. We should just pack up and leave tonight."

"..."

Jiang Huashan originally wanted to go out and resist the storm together, but now it seems that it was a wise move for Shen Lanxi to take her out. Otherwise, with her and Shen Qingyu's sharp tongues, they would be in trouble in two days.

Shen Lanxi stood in the shadow by the door, silently looking at the figure in the bright light.

"Cough cough..."

A muffled cough was heard from the room. Jiang Huashan was startled and immediately turned around and went to the inner room.

Originally, she was worried that Shen Qingyu would not be able to cope with it, but now it seems that her worries were completely unnecessary. After all, with Shen Qingyu's bad temper, even her grandfather couldn't completely control him back then, let alone these feudal remnants.

"Grandma?!"

Grandma Wu woke up at some point, lifted the quilt and prepared to get out of bed. Jiang Huashan was startled and hurried forward to support her.

Hearing Jiang Huashan's exclamation, Shen Lanxi immediately followed into the inner room and helped the grandmother sit down.

"Grandma, it's not appropriate for you to move around now. If you want to go out for a walk, I'll ask them to prepare it."

"No need." Grandma gently took Shen Lanxi's hand, "Lanxi, Grandma wants to talk to Xiaohuaer alone."

Shen Lanxi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I understand."

He stood up, glanced at Jiang Huashan, and silently left the room.

"Grandma, are you feeling better?" Jiang Huashan held Grandma Wu's shoulders and sat on the edge of the bed.

Grandma smiled and said, "Grandma won't get better. I won't see you again after this. There are some things I can't bear without telling you. Are you willing to listen?"

Jiang Huashan nodded and said, "I'll listen. Please speak."

Grandma said softly, "No matter where I am buried after I die, it is fate. Don't let this matter cause any rift between you and them, otherwise you will go against my wishes."

Jiang Huashan's eyes suddenly became hot. She guessed that her great-grandmother might have heard the noise outside. Her great-grandmother warned her to be more cautious, but she never expected that it would be her own affairs after her death.

She suddenly felt regretful that she shouldn't have said in public in a fit of anger that these people wanted to bury her great-grandmother in Beishan. She couldn't imagine how the old grandmother would feel when she woke up and heard such news, sitting alone at the head of the bed.

Seeing that Jiang Huashan was blaming herself, the grandmother patted her hand gently, her voice soft but powerful, "At my age, it's hard to have obsessions. The only obsession in my life is to help the young master protect the Shen family. Everything else, I don't care about."

Jiang Huashan knew that the young master her great-grandmother was referring to was the great-grandfather of the Shen family. She was silent for a moment, then said sullenly, "Grandma, I just can't accept it. They keep women out of the ancestral hall, yet shamelessly enjoy the continuity and stability they bring to the family. How can this be justified? You've given so much to the Shen family, you don't deserve to be treated like this."

Grandma Wu shook her head. "It is my personal wish to be loyal to the Shen family. It will not be shaken by whether they are grateful or not. A harmonious family is the foundation of everything. Grandma wants to pass away peacefully."

Even at the last moment of her life, Grandma Wu was still thinking about the prosperity and unity of the Shen family.

Jiang Huashan couldn't bear to see the old man die with regrets, so she nodded heavily, "I know."

"Good girl." Grandma smiled, held her hand tightly, and looked out the window with a far-reaching gaze. "Don't worry, with Grandma here, no one can hurt you. When Grandma is no longer strong, your grandfather should be here too."

This sentence was so emotional that Jiang Huashan couldn't help sobbing and burst into tears.

"Stop crying. Why are you still hiding and crying like you did when you were little?"

Jiang Huashan was stunned, and the tears in her eyes flowed down her cheeks and fell onto the wrinkled back of her hands. In this life, she never cried when she met her great-grandmother?

Grandma Wu seemed to be lost in some memories, and her eyes gradually became bright.

"I liked you the moment I saw you. You have the same charming peach blossom eyes as your grandmother."

It seems like it happened in the previous life.

Jiang Huashan gently shook Grandma Wu's hand and asked, "Have you met my grandmother?"

"I've seen her. Your grandma is gentle, kind, and considerate. You...are like a little hedgehog, stubborn and unreasonable..."

So she was like this in her grandmother's mind, thinking that she was indeed a little bit unable to do it in her previous life. Jiang Huashan felt a little embarrassed.

Grandma Wu continued, "I originally thought that since you are the son of an old friend, I should teach you more principles, and it would be best if you could be like your grandmother. But Grandpa disagreed."

Jiang Huashan was stunned. "Grandpa doesn't want to be like grandma?"

Grandma nodded. "Back then, the Shen family was destroyed overnight. Your grandfather was determined to keep his promise. No matter how we tried to persuade him, it was useless. Later, I hid it from your grandfather and carried the spirit tablets of the eleven members of the Shen family to Huaicheng. I begged your grandmother to give up her promise first."

"So...Grandpa knows."

"I found out later. So, after taking you back, your grandfather said, it doesn't matter if you're stubborn, willful, or vicious, but just don't be as understanding as your grandmother, living your whole life for others and putting yourself in a difficult position."

So Grandpa never criticized her, and never asked her to change even if her behavior was absurd.

Grandma Wu suddenly returned to her sight, staring at her features. "You never returned to the old house after that year. Are you still resentful of Grandma for being so harsh with you?"

"Now that you're back, are you not angry with grandma anymore?"

Jiang Huashan bit her lower lip and said in a very loud voice, "I haven't been angry for a long time."

Outside the screen, a slanting shadow stood motionless.
