623 Grandfather and Granddaughter Meet (1)
What grandfather?
Yu Wan looked at her uncle in confusion and saw him looking gently at the Emperor on the altar.
Yu Wan looked over. She knew this old man. He was the old man who took care of Dabao in the manor next door. On the day the three little fellows were sick and went to eat Fuyuanzi, they met again. He was injured by someone and she treated his wound. He gave them a jar of Fuyuanzi.
Yu Wan could recall these memories without any effort, but she really could not associate this man in the dragon robe with the “grandfather” her uncle mentioned. She was still immersed in the shock that the other party was the Emperor of Nanzhao and was actually wearing a dragon robe.
The scene was noisy, and everyone was fighting against Nangong Yan. Helian Beiming’s voice was not loud. Seeing that his niece did not react, he mistakenly thought that she did not hear him clearly. He slowed down and said again, “Ah Wan, come and see your grandfather.”
Yu Wan understood what her uncle meant this time. Her uncle said that this old man in the dragon robe was her already deceased grandfather?
Yu Wan asked strangely, “How can I have a grandfather? Isn’t my grandfather dead? My mother’s family is all dead, and she’s the only one left.”
The Emperor staggered and almost fell off the altar on the spot! How could this girl speak like this? Did she say that he was dead and his entire family was dead?
Helian Beiming was also shocked. He did not expect his sister-in-law to make up stories about her parents in private. No, this was not making things up, but a curse. She cursed them all to die.
Helian Beiming was speechless.
“I don’t have a grandfather,” Yu Wan said, shaking her head.
Initially, it was the Emperor who wanted to accept this child. Now, this child was one step ahead of him, making it so that she did not recognize him at all. The Emperor had been high and mighty since he was born. He did not expect such a situation to happen at all.
It was understandable that the Eldest Princess was like this. After all, she was a child who had been exiled by him and had a deep hatred for him. However, this delicate little girl looked to be only a few years older than Nangong Xi. She had a young face and clear eyes, as if she was an inexperienced person. Why did she not completely respect him, the Emperor, the moment she opened her mouth?
Shouldn’t ordinary people at least be shocked, flattered, and at a loss?
“Ah Wan, this is the Emperor,” Helian Beiming tried to remind her.
Yu Wan said, “I know he’s the Emperor, but he’s not my grandfather!”
Her grandfather was dead. Her mother said he was dead. He was dead even if he was alive.
Today’s matter was a little difficult to digest. Perhaps her uncle had made a mistake, or perhaps it was indeed true. However, even if it was true, she would not acknowledge him immediately. Her uncle doted on her and she respected him, but there were some things that they could not agree on.
There were no two people in the world who were completely compatible. Even she and Yan Jiuchao could not be said to be completely in sync. They just had to respect each other enough when there was inconsistency.
“My mother said that I don’t have a grandfather. I just don’t have one.” Yu Wan looked into the Emperor’s eyes. Her eyes were firm, and there was no room for discussion.
The Emperor’s heart turned cold.
If Yu Wan was in a hurry to acknowledge him, he might have to consider if he wanted to acknowledge her. However, Yu Wan mercilessly rejected him. All he could think of was, “Does this girl know what it means to be recognized by him? She will become the commandery princess of Nanzhao, a princess even more noble than Nangong Xi. Does she not care at all?”
Of course, Yu Wan did not care.
Was being a princess very rich? Her family had a mine! Large iron mine!
Yu Wan, who had no idea that being a princess could have many gold mines, left without looking back!
Helian Beiming turned around and searched for Yan Jiuchao in the crowd with his eyes.
Yan Jiuchao raised his eyebrows and gave him an innocent and helpless look. His goal was to take down the Little Princess, but he did not say anything about helping Ah Wan acknowledge an Emperor who had abandoned her mother.
Yan Jiuchao also left.
The young couple held hands. This time, they were really going to have some alone time.
Helian Beiming shook his head. The thoughts of the elders were different from the young ones. If possible, he hoped that their family would reunite and that Nanzhao would have a successor.
Although Yu Wan had left, the topic remained.
Gu Elder Song patted Gu Elder Sun’s arm and said with uncertainty, “Just now, the Grand General held that little girl’s hand and said, ‘Ah Wan, come and see your grandfather’. Did I hear wrongly?”
