Gu Xiaoyu could feel that her parents had tensed up for a moment, and instinctively, they were on guard against this old uncle.

Xie Jingxi detected her guard and patted her back, explaining: ”Ah Yu, this is grandfather, he came to see Ah Yu.”

had always been very sensible in this area, as long as her parents asked her to do something, no matter what she did, she would do what she said. Gu Xiaoyu knew that no matter what she did, Gu Xiaoyu would always do what she said, no matter what she did.

”Grandfather.” Gu Xiaoyu politely shouted.

This child was really too similar to Gu Yun's mother, almost giving him the misconception. Just now, at the entrance of the village, he was able to recognize her with a single glance. At that time, he really couldn't describe his feelings, but what flashed before his eyes was the scene of when he met Gu Yun's mother.

The father and son pair were used to opposing each other for the rest of their lives, so the Marquis didn't mind as he laughed, ”What's wrong, aren't you going to invite me in for a cup of tea? I smelled the aroma of tea from far away.”

Xie Jingxi replied, ”Father came alone. If you don't mind, we can sit on the porch. It's much more comfortable than sitting in a house.”

”You guys will still enjoy it.” Marquis went his own way and sat on the mat with his legs crossed, ”This tea is only produced this year, right? After all, it is so close to the tea picking grounds that you can't drink it in the capital.”

After Xie Jingxi put Gu Xiaoyu down, Gu Xiaoyu then led Xie Xiaojiu to play by the side, playing as much as she could, but she would secretly peek at them from time to time, afraid that her parents would be snatched away by this grandfather of unknown origin.

”If father likes it, he can bring some back. It's just that the tea hill next door is freshly harvested. It's a gift from the village. Actually, it looks ordinary, so it's just drinking this refreshing flavor.”

”It's very fresh in the capital. No matter how fresh it is, it will be a few days later.” Marquis finished one slowly, ”It's still the same as when I drank it all those years ago.”

Xie Jingxi looked at Gu Yun, and Gu Yun said: ”For a cup of tea, you wouldn't come, right?”

Marquis put down his tea cup and poured a cup for himself as well. ”Drinking new tea.

”It's fine if you're looking at us, but I'm afraid the old people don't really want to see you.”

The Marquis laughed, ”You must have been to your mother's place before, right?”

Gu Yun did not answer.

”This should be the last time I am here. I think …”

”Don't even think about it, that's not a place you can go.” Gu Yun interrupted his somewhat roughly, ”To be honest, I have already sealed up the courtyard. All the traces of her life have already been burnt by me, if you want to rely on your seniors, then rest assured that you don't have to face the consequences.”

Marquis choked on his words and did not bring up Lady Ji again, ”Just now when I came over, I saw the graves of the old man and Old Madem at the side of the yard. I went over to pay my respects and paid my respects.

”You don't need to worry about that. If you help them cultivate and become a part of the Royal Tomb, they won't want to see you either. Why do you have to go against yourself?”

Xie Jingxi felt that if they were to continue talking, they would be dead meat, so she quickly interrupted: ”Father is here to stay for a while, I will help you clean up the place, if you don't mind, you can stay at home.”

The Marquis nodded, ”That's fine. We'll stay for the night and leave tomorrow.”

Xie Jingxi was surprised, ”You're leaving tomorrow?”

”Originally, I planned to come over to take a look and see my granddaughter. You left in a hurry, and I don't know when you'll meet again. While I'm still able to walk, I'll come over and take a look.”

Xie Jingxi's heart soured. When someone was able to say these words, they would probably be able to turn their head and see their entire life, and the Marquis that had always been revered by others, left the capital, left the Marquis Mansion, and left those places that were coated with a layer of golden light on his mortal body. She would become pale and powerless, becoming somewhat pitiful, and become an old man that could not be more ordinary.

Gu Yun stood in front of Marquis, and said in a childish voice: ”Grandfather, you should stay here. Our courtyard is big enough, you don't have to leave.”

Marquis was moved, he bent down and picked Gu Xiaoyu up, ”You want Grandfather to stay?”

Gu Xiaoyu nodded and the Marquis smiled with gratitude, ”You're a good child.”

Of course, the Marquis that was completely moved by Gu Xiaoyu did not understand his intention to have him stay. Gu Xiaoyu only thought that if he were to leave Marquis behind, her parents would stay behind and she would be able to continue staying here. She and all her other little friends would continue to play.

However, she did not understand. Everyone wanted to stay, but no one could.
