Chapter 220 (1/2)

“... Little brother, don’t you trust me?” asked Princess Longji.

“Of course I do!!” said Ye Lang

“Then let me tell you this, she’s your grandmother!”

“No!” Ye Lang immediately shook his head.

“...So do you trust me or not!!”

“Yes!”

“Then she’s your grandmother!”

“No!”

…

It didn’t matter what she said, Ye Lang’s answer was always the same. He trusted her but wouldn’t recognise the empress dowager as his grandmother.

“You little troublemaker, your skin must be itching! You wouldn’t listen, yet you say you trust me!!” Princess Longji glared daggers at Ye Lang.

“I trust you, but she’s not my grandmother!”

“If you trust me, then she is!”

“Why? What has me trusting you got to do with that?”

“You…”

“It doesn’t matter what you say. My mom didn’t mention her, so we’ll talk about this when I ask my mother!!”

Princess Longji couldn’t do much now. She knew he wouldn’t agree no matter what she said. She understood that while Ye Lang was a clueless person, he had his own rules he stuck by.

However, she sensed that Ye Lang’s denial was related to Long Anqi too. Since she’d never mentioned this, never told Ye Lang and his siblings about their grandmother nor talk about her own family, this meant she didn’t want to associate herself with her family at all.

Then Ye Lang would have to respect Long Anqi’s decision!

Since young, Long Anqi never returned home, while not a single person from her family-other than Princess Longji- visited. They didn’t even write. The problem here is already very obvious!!

Ye Lanyu and the rest were smart, they must have noticed a problem early on although they never asked. Ye Lang, on the other hand, was just a clueless person, he never even noticed a problem!

No one would’ve guessed that although Ye Lang was clueless, he was very clear about this one point. Perhaps even clearer than Ye Lanyu and the rest.

If Ye Lanyu was here and heard what Princess Longji had to say, she would’ve recognised the empress dowager as her grandmother, even calling her ‘grandma’. Unlike Ye Lang!!

Ye Lang was more stubborn with his rules than anyone else!!

“Fine, whatever. Our aunt will deal with this!” said Princess Longji. It was clear now that this situation required Long Anqi’s help.

As for the problems between mother and daughter, they should solve it themselves!!

“Sigh. Looks like I’ve got to pay a visit to Anqi. It’s been years, but we’ve never met once! She’s left the Soaring Sky Empire, so the problem should have been gone by now!!” the empress dowager gave a long sigh, thinking about her own problem.
