Ye Ci and Yue Yun didn't expect that the old man, who was usually healthy, would fall down so without warning the moment he saw Ye Ci.

Fortunately, the banquet had not officially started at this time, and the maid at home carried the old man back to the upstairs bedroom, and Dr. Yan rushed up with the instrument, measured all the indicators, and said: "It's nothing, but you may be a little angry for a while, and you have to ask the people below to pay more attention to the diet these days."

Yue Yao and Xia Xiaoji heard about the old man, and immediately rushed up, looking at Ye Ci in front of them, they also had some faint suspicions.

Yue Yun was afraid that Ye Ci would think too much, so he took her hand and whispered to her: "Don't think about it, no matter what the old man says, he is still in his eighties, but he is sick all of a sudden, and it has nothing to do with you."

Ye Ci looked up at him, tugging at the corners of his mouth and nodded, but the worry in his heart was not really put down.

Liu Xinran didn't know when he learned the news and caught up, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted with a crying voice: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you, grandpa."

Yue Yao frowned with some annoyance, obviously displeased with Liu Xinran in front of him.

When Xia Xiaoji saw her husband's appearance, she immediately knew what he meant, and said: "My old man is very good, Miss Liu, why are you crying like a mourner, this voice howls out, my old man will be scared by you again when he wakes up."

Although Liu Xinran is snobbish and likes to bully people like Yang Zhiyin and Ye Ci who have no background, as soon as she meets the Xia family, who are even more powerful than the Liu family, she immediately didn't dare to talk back, sat up awkwardly, and said: "I'm sorry, I, I'm too excited for a while."

Yuan Yi stood aside, watching this group of children make trouble, and she was not unaware of these kittens between them, but as an elder, she couldn't speak biased at this time, so after thinking about it, she was simply silent.

When he turned his head and saw the old man wake up, he immediately leaned over and shouted softly: "Haosheng, are you awake, do you feel better?" ”

The old man was still a little confused at this moment, and suddenly opened his eyes, and wanted to grab the old lady's hand following her voice.

The old lady put her hand in the old man's hand, looked at his slightly trembling hand, sighed a little distressedly, and said: "You, what do you say is wrong with you, it's not good to eat and drink these days, why did you faint suddenly."

The old man patted the back of his wife's hand and comforted: "Hey, where can there be no problem when people are old, look at your worrying temperament."

Yue Yao and Yue Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the old man's words.

Liu Xinran couldn't sit still at this time, walked up to look at the old man and asked: "Grandpa Yue, I heard that you fainted just now, my father and my brother were shocked, and specially asked me to come up to see you."

The old man nodded with a smile and replied to her: "Grandpa is fine, let your father and your brother not worry."

Liu Xinran also laughed after hearing this, and said: "Also, I said grandpa, how could you see Miss Ye fall when you are so strong, this can scare our Miss Ye, do you say yes, Miss Ye."

Seeing that Liu Xinran had specially led the topic to herself, Ye Ci immediately took a step back, lowered her head and said, "I, I."

Yue Yun saw that Ye Ci was speechless, so he immediately took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you have a good rest, Ye Ci came to our house for the first time today, and grandma has a good impression of her."

The old man sat in place, looking at Ye Porcelain in front of him, and his face suddenly became dark.

It was a long time, and it wasn't until the old lady pushed his hand that he spoke again: "Xiao Liu, you go down first and tell your father and your brother that grandpa is fine, thank you for their concern."

Liu Xinran knew that the old man was driving himself away, and he didn't force him to stay, so he replied with a smile: "Okay, then Grandpa Yue, you have to come down early, my father said that he also brought good wine for you to drink together."

The old man smiled and replied "yes", then turned his head to Yue Yao and said, "Call your daughter-in-law to go down too."

Yue Yao turned around and pulled Xia Xiaoji out, but was stopped by the old man: "Stop, I'm calling your daughter-in-law to go down!" ”

Xia Xiaoji didn't think as much as Liu Xinran, seeing that Yue Yao was left behind, and he was free to go downstairs to drink and eat delicious food, he was in a good mood for a while, shouting "Grandpa, you should take care of your illness", and ran downstairs as soon as he slipped away.

Yue Yao stood back, his face a little displeased.

The old man looked at him and taught him indignantly: "If you have no interest, you can't leave your stupid daughter-in-law for half a minute?" I still talk about her mouth, and I don't go through my brain at all when I talk on weekdays, and you still protect her vigorously! If she weren't from the Xia family, I wouldn't be happy to recognize her as a granddaughter-in-law! ”

Yue Yao smashed his mouth and didn't reply.

Yue Yun was not happy, and stepped forward and said angrily: "Grandpa, why do you say that about my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law is a little bit second, but you won't let me have a good relationship with my brother." You gave my brother a wife without a word, did he say anything? Now that I see that this wife has a problem, she won't please you, so she points at my brother's head and scolds, it's always you who are emotionally reasonable? ”

When the old man heard Yue Yun speak, he immediately glanced at him and Ye Ci.

Yue Yun was used to the old man, and when he saw the old man looking at him at this time, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

However, Ye Ci was looked at by the old man's gaze, and immediately felt a little afraid, she didn't know what she was doing it for, but her body was like an instinctive reaction, and she involuntarily took two steps back.

The old lady seemed to see her fear, patted the old man's hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, you can wake up." Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, Xiao Ji's child just doesn't know how to behave in the world, but people are still very kind, he and Xiao Yao have a good relationship, why should we be elders with that mouth."

The old man ignored the old lady's words, still looked at Ye Porcelain not far away, and suddenly asked in a deep voice: "What's your surname?"

Ye Ci glanced up at the old man, took a deep breath and replied: "My surname is Ye, and my single name is a porcelain."

"Surname Ye? You don't have the surname Liang? ”

Ye Ci shook his head with some confusion and replied: "There is no one in the family surnamed Liang."

Seeing the old man's strange question, the old lady couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and asked: "Haosheng, what's wrong with you, how can you ask if this girl is surnamed Liang."

The old man lowered his head and thought about it, raised his hand and pointed to the desk beside him, and said loudly: "Yue Yao, you go and bring the wooden box in the drawer on the far left side of the table."

Yue Yao listened to the old man's words, and immediately turned around and walked to the table by the windowsill, opened the leftmost drawer, and took out a locked wooden box from it.

The old man took the wooden box, took out a key from under the pillow and opened it, slowly took out an old photo from it, and reached out and handed it to the old lady beside him.

The old lady took the photo, looked down, and suddenly froze in place.

Yue Yao and Yue Yun glanced at each other suspiciously, walked over to take a look, and couldn't help but be stunned.

On the yellowed old photo, a woman dressed in the Republic of China stood at this time, and the sentence "1941, Yu Beiyi" was written below the photo.

And that woman's appearance turned out to be exactly the same as the leaf porcelain in front of her.

A few people finally knew why the old man had such a strong reaction the moment he saw Ye Ci.

The old lady was the first to ask: "Haosheng, who is the person in this photo, and why have you never mentioned it to me?" ”

The old man sighed, looked up at Ye Ci in front of him, and replied in a deep voice: "This woman, this woman is someone our Yue family is unwilling to mention." If I hadn't seen Miss Ye today, I wouldn't have taken this photo out, I wish it would rot in this box."

Yue Yun stood in place, he didn't know how to answer for a while, got up and took two steps back, took Ye Ci's hand, and said: "Grandpa, no matter what, Ye Ci is Ye Ci, she is not anyone, I will not be separated from her for any reason, I will only be with her in this life."

"Ridiculous!"

The old man reached out and pounded the bed, perhaps pulling his chest, and couldn't help but cough heavily.

The old lady hurriedly patted him on the back and comforted: "Okay, okay, what are you angry with a junior."

The old man shook his head and sat up, and said with a look of resentment: "But he will take over our Yue family in the future, I can't let the Yue family be ruined in his hands!" ”

After speaking, he took a few deep breaths, regained his feelings, took the photo back into the wooden box, and said while re-locking the box: "This woman's name is Liang Mengqiu, and she is the wife who was divorced by my little uncle. My little uncle used to be a general who had stayed abroad, accepted the ideas of the new era, and because he was unwilling to accept the marriage arranged by the family, he went to the battlefield as soon as he got married, leaving a letter of resignation. It's a pity that this Liang Mengqiu has a grudge against this, not to mention killing the female classmate that my little uncle brought home, taking advantage of the fact that all the men in the family are on the battlefield, he actually burned down the Yue family's old mansion with a fire. The entire Yue family, women, children, servants, and dozens of people up and down were burned down by a fire. At that time, if my brother and I hadn't followed my grandmother to Chenghe and received my mother's letter, we would have died in that fire."

Yue Yun froze in place, his mind was confused, the hand holding Ye Ci did not let go, it was even tighter, and asked in a hoarse voice: "But, but so what?" Grandpa, didn't you rebuild the Yue family in the same way later, why should the things of the previous life affect our generation, let alone this kind of unwarranted reason."

The old man sat in place, looked up at the blank sky outside the window, and said slowly: "Yue Yun, you are still young, you don't believe in many things about the destiny of heaven, this is not your fault." But grandpa is already old, and the more people want to leave this world, the more they tend to believe things that may seem ridiculous. I can still dream of my mother's dying expression occasionally, and in what mood did she write me that bloody letter so that I should not go back? And how deep does that vicious woman have to be to burn so many people up and down the Yue family to death? Yue Yun, grandpa is old, the Yue family was rebuilt by grandpa and your uncle, I won't agree with you to take even the slightest risk for such a woman."
