Chapter 371 Gui Chi
Old Master Yun smiled awkwardly and winked at Yun Guichi.
Madam Gui didn't catch his gaze, but she slammed the table and said unhappily, "Nian'er, how can you talk to your grandfather like that?"
"Did you learn the rule of disrespecting elders when you were in the palace?"
Lei Nian'er: ...It turns out that when people are really angry, they will laugh for no reason.
She sneered and said, "Okay, then I won't say anything. I'll just quietly watch them go to a dead end."
"Anyway, I will be implicated by then. At worst, I will be demoted and resign. Don't accuse me of standing idly by when the Yun family is liquidated."
Yun Guichi was stunned. "What's going on? Why are we heading towards a dead end? Nian'er, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Isn't it just to teach you to be polite when talking to elders? How is it related to Jue Lu? Don't make such exaggerated statements to scare us."
She turned around and asked Old Master Yun: "Father, don't you think so? The Yun family hasn't done anything harmful to the world, so how could they be liquidated?"
Old Master Yun looked at Lei Nian'er's face and still didn't dare to lie anymore. He said awkwardly: "Gui Niang, Nian'er is indeed not talking nonsense."
"We... did get into trouble."
Yun Guichi was shocked, "What did you do!"
Old Master Yun didn't answer. She looked between the grandfather and grandson and asked anxiously, "Why are you talking behind my back?"
Lei Nian'er drank some chrysanthemum tea to calm herself down, and said calmly: "Mom doesn't understand anything. I want to analyze it with you, but you use your status as an elder and the grace of giving birth to me to pressure me."
"When I warned my grandfather just now, I was also trying to save him. Honest advice may be hard to hear, but it doesn't matter if you don't want to listen. Anyway, I can survive."
Yun Guichi knew that they were really in trouble, so he quickly pulled Lei Nian'er and asked her to find a solution.
"Nian'er, it's mother's fault."
"You're older now, and you're getting less and less obedient. I got a little anxious when I saw you talking to Grandpa so harshly."
"The Yun family is your maternal family, and they are connected to you by blood. Since you are so ambitious, you must give them a hand."
Lei Nian'er lowered her eyes and looked at her hand that was being held.
As my mother grew older, her hands became more delicate than when she was young. The traces of hardship she had experienced as a concubine gradually faded from her body.
The relationship between mother and daughter, where they huddled together for warmth and relied on each other, was no longer as strong as it used to be. Lei Nian'er even missed that time a little.
She endured the bitterness in her eyes and asked, "Is it because I can't listen to what she says, or is it because my mother is getting anxious because she sees that I am getting harder and harder to control?
"You want to suppress me to make sure you still have authority over your children?"
Yun Guichi subconsciously refuted: "How can you, kid, say that about your mother?"
Lei Nian'er closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and turned her gaze to Old Man Yun.
"Grandfather, your wife and my mother had some conflicts in the past. Since she doesn't care about it anymore, I don't want to be a villain in vain."
"We are indeed relatives, so our interests are connected. I can see what you are thinking when you let the people from the noble families enter the inner courtyard this time."
"I don't care whether you know or not, and I'm too lazy to check who is innocent. You are the head of the family, and I will talk to you if something goes wrong."
"If you still want me as your granddaughter, then you should take good care of the house and don't hold me back. Otherwise, I don't mind cutting off the tail to survive and sacrificing the car to save the king."
Old Master Yun smiled and said, "Yes, yes, as a family, we will never do anything stupid to cause you trouble in the future."
He also warned Yun Guichi, "Gui Niang, Nian girl is a promising girl. As the prince's confidant, there are some things that are inconvenient for her to tell you in full."
"From now on, just listen to what she says. Is her own daughter going to hurt you?"
Yun Guichi listened to his father's advice and whispered, "I understand, Father. Everything else is fine, but this child cannot have a family.
"I really can't listen to her all the time. I'm her biological mother. Would I hurt her? Sometimes Nian'er is really willful."
Mr. Yun: “…That makes sense.”
Lei Nian'er:...That's enough, that's really enough.
Lei Nian'er didn't have much time to meet his grandfather and they didn't have much affection for each other, but when he was at the Lei family, Yun Guichi was obviously much happier.
Yun Guichi is a very obedient woman. Her parents' home is in Anzhou, and she doesn't go back often for fear of being gossiped about.
She is a person who is easily influenced by others. She is afraid of gossip and thinks that she can feel better if she abides by the rules of being a wife.
Lei Nian'er could imagine that since she was old but still unmarried, her mother must have been teased and talked about by many gossipers.
But she didn't want to give up her whole life because of what others said. If her marriage was unhappy, those people would be the ones making fun of her.
After Old Man Yun left with Yun Guichi reluctant to let him go, Nian'er said softly, "I know that mother and grandfather must have a very good relationship, so she can't stand me talking too loudly to him."
She looked at her mother with tender eyes.
"I really like my mother's name, Gui Chi."
"After the rain in the empty mountains, autumn comes late. The sweet-scented osmanthus blossoms, but for those who are waiting for it, it comes too late."
"You can tell right away that the person who gave this name loves her daughter dearly."
"Unlike Nian'er, whose arrival is Nian'er thinking about?
"It's not me anyway."
Yun Guichi wanted to say something to comfort you, but he didn't know where to start. In the end, he could only say dryly: "Your father loves you, too."
After saying this, Yun Guichi fell silent. Even she herself didn't believe this nonsense.
Nian'er's current status in the family is entirely due to her own efforts.
