”I know.” Huai Jin was not in the mood to listen to his chatter on the side, hence she directly interrupted him. Since he was tired of standing, he found a place to sit and poured himself a cup of tea to moisten his throat. A granddaughter's life in exchange for a whole family's life, this transaction was definitely worth it. If he was a Xuanping Marquis, he would also choose to do the same.

But what about the original Huai Jin? Was it because of this that she wanted to kill her grandfather? However, the original owner did not seem to be that stupid.

”I don't like to be held.” Huai Jin spoke the truth.

The Xuanping Marquis sighed, ”The empress dowager should have finished listening to the scripture, you can go back now.”

Without stopping, Huai Jin got up and was about to leave. However, when she walked to the entrance, he opened her mouth and did not call out ”grandfather” in the end.

Although Huai Jin did not shout out loud, Xuanping Marquis was so happy to see her mouth open, and could not help but look at Huai Jin's leaving back, unable to recover from his shock.

The window opened, and a figure flashed in, landing beside Xuanping Marquis.

Seeing the newcomer, Xuanping Marquis withdrew the smile on his face: ”Is there anything different about the palace recently?” Her tone was sharp and there wasn't the slightest trace of kindness in her tone.

The black shadow quickly hid the astonishment in her eyes and replied: ”Li Consort saved the second young master of the Blood Clan, she is currently in Yongan Palace.”

”This woman! Isn't harming my son enough?! ” A table cracked apart!

”Master Hou, please calm your anger.”

The Xuanping Marquis clenched his fists, then started to open them again: ”What do you have with Jin Er?”

”Ran Die, who was by the side of the young miss, is dead.”

”Gone?” Xuanping Marquis frowned.

”There's nothing else.”

Xuanping Marquis sighed, his figure looked a little sad: ”Go investigate again!”

The shadow answered and turned around to disappear.

Just as Huai Jin returned to the backyard, she saw a group of palace maids guarding the door. She put on a smile and entered the house.

”Esteemed Empress Dowager.” Her voice was soft and sweet.

”Where did he go?!” The empress dowager didn't hold Huai Jin in her arms like she did before.

However, Huai Jin didn't care about how she was faring, and still threw herself into the empress dowager's arms. ”I went out to take a look with Ran Mei.”

”You've been gone for so long? Why didn't you ask the palace maid to follow? ”

”Why should we make them follow us? They are all so slow.” As if he could not feel the alienation of the person in his embrace, Huai Jin tightened his grip, and raised his head with an obedient face: ”Esteemed Empress Dowager, let me tell you, I met Master of Intelligence just now! He insisted on saying that I had the wisdom root, and if he wanted to pull me over to listen to the scriptures, I would have a headache! ”

After saying that, Huai Jin could feel the empress dowager's body loosen up, and her tone become gentler. ”Master of Intelligence has long ignored the temple's mundane affairs, you met him out of fate.”

”I think even if he wanted me to become a monk, he would still try to make me a monk!”

The Yang mama by the empress dowager's side restrained his laughter and corrected his, ”Princess, only men are called monks.”
