The Heir of Luo Prefecture’s tone was light, his gaze casually sweeping across Liu Sisi: “Regardless, you are the granddaughter of Madam Gan Senior, no matter how you behave, what face will you leave to Lord Gan Senior?”
Why drag Lord Gan Senior into it again? Do you really think I would choose to be this so-called granddaughter?
“It seems that the Heir of Luo Prefecture should also call Sisi as ‘auntie’.”
Power unused is power wasted! Liu Sisi really hated this kind of insincere and superficial exchange! She immediately pursed her lips, and the pearl and jade ornaments on her head swayed a few times as well.
“The Heir of Luo Prefecture is indeed right. No matter what, Sisi is still the ‘adoptive’ granddaughter of Madam Gan Senior. However, how could Sisi dare to call herself an elder in front of the Heir and the Prefecture Princess? Sisi truly is ashamed and does not dare to accept such a title!”
The Heir of Luo Prefecture raised his eyebrows, dumbfounded for a moment, and was about to open his mouth to respond when an elderly voice suddenly appeared diagonally in the background.
“Why not dare to claim to be their elder? You are originally their elder!”
With the help of Gan Miaoruo, Madam Gan Senior arrived at the pavilion. She swept her gaze over the surrounding people, landed on the Heir of Luo Prefecture and the Prefecture Princess, and immediately smiled brightly.
“I the old have heard your lively conversation from afar, it’s incredibly lively. That’s why I specially came over to join in the cheerfulness.” As she spoke, she sat down on the long bench.
Gan Miaoruo didn’t say a word from start to finish, merely glancing quickly at Liu Sisi.
Heir Luo and his sister hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: “Junior pays respect to Old Madam.”
Liu Sisi also quickly led the two children forward: “Sisi pays respect to grandmother, long live grandmother.”
“Get up, everyone get up! Today is the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, everyone is here to have fun, don’t be too caught up in formalities.” Madam Gan Senior squinted her eyes with laughter.
“Thank you, Old Madam.” The Luo Heir siblings quickly stood up.
“Thank you, grandmother.”
Liu Sisi quietly led the two children back a couple of steps.
But Madam Gan Senior obviously didn’t plan to let her go: “These are your two children, right? Come, come to your great-grandmother here.” As she spoke, she beckoned to the two children.
Di Xuan and Di Ying tightly gripped Liu Sisi’s arm without moving their feet. Old Madam did not hurry, smiling patiently, silently waiting for the three to make their next move.
Liu Sisi’s thoughts raced, and she smiled slightly, gently patting Xuan’er’s back.
“Your great-grandmother loves you two siblings very much! Hurry up and go!”
Di Xuan led YingEr hesitantly to Madam Gan Senior and bowed: “Xuan’er and YingEr pay respect to great-grandmother.”
“Good, good, good! Hurry up and rise! Come to Great-grandmother’s side! Ah, here, I have a meeting gift for you two siblings, it’s just a little token of affection from your great-grandmother, okay?”
Madam Gan Senior’s face was piled with smiles, giving each of the two children a pure gold longevity lock, clearly prepared in advance.
The two children hesitated and didn’t dare to reach out to take it.
“These two children have rarely seen their great-grandmother, so they don’t recognize her yet. On behalf of the children, Sisi thanks the grandmother for her gift.”
Liu Sisi smiled and quickly stepped forward to take it on behalf of the children, and in the process, took the children under her wing. She picked up the longevity lock and immediately hung it on the children.
“This is the longevity lock your great-grandmother has given you. A gift from an elder cannot be refused. Xuan’er, you should know this principle after reading the saints’ books.”
As she spoke, she also gently patted Xuan’er’s hand.
Madam Gan Senior turned a blind eye to Liu Sisi’s small actions and directly instructed Gan Miaoruo.
“Ruo Ruo, we still have things to discuss. You take your little nephew and niece and play for a while. Remember to take good care of the children. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you responsible!” This was a blatant plot, directly separating the mother and her children. VịSit no(v)3lb/!n(.)c𝒐m for new 𝒏ov𝒆l𝒔
“Yes, Grandmother!”
Gan Miaoruo swallowed her words. She had long been fed up with staying close to her grandmother. At this moment, upon receiving the order, her face immediately lit up with joy, and she quickly took the hands of the two children and called out to her friends.
“Let’s go! Xuan’er! Ying’er, let’s go play over there! When we just arrived, I saw that there was a beautiful scene over there. I’ll take you…”
There was no way for Liu Sisi to refuse, the two children were taken away by Gan Miaoruo!
“Madam Gan Senior! This…”
Liu Sisi was anxious for no reason, instinctively calling out, trying to keep the children here.
“Call me grandmother! Look at you, still not used to it after all this time.”
Madam Gan Senior smiled kindly, “Sisi! You are my granddaughter. Who would dare say anything about you? Don’t belittle yourself and look down on yourself.”
However, behind this kind smile, her deep eyes made Liu Sisi shiver, and her heart sank.
She suddenly understood Madam Gan Senior’s intentions!
By doing so, she only wanted to show her that it was only a matter of minutes for her to control her!
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. They all had ulterior motives for her! Before they reached their goal, she and her children were temporarily safe!
Having figured this out, Liu Sisi’s face once again revealed a smile and gently bowed.
“Grandmother’s teachings are right! It is my fault for not understanding Grandmother’s painstaking efforts. I will definitely try hard to change!” I will never go west if you ask me to go east as long as the two children are safe.
In the depths of Liu Sisi’s eyes, a storm was brewing!
Madam Gan Senior’s eyes flashed, nodding in satisfaction: “That’s good! I came in a hurry earlier and forgot to greet the host. I heard that the garden ahead is lively. Let’s go and have a look. Sisi, come with me today!” This is an honor that others can’t ask for!
“Yes, Grandmother!”
“Yes, Old Madam.”
Everyone then got up, and Liu Sisi quickly stepped forward to support Madam Gan Senior, walking along the corridor towards the garden.
Groups of people in the garden were either engaged in heated discussions or whispering to each other. Seeing the entourage approaching, they rushed over to greet them.
A large stage was set up in the center of the garden, with the sounds of gongs, drums, and music flowing ceaselessly. The opera singer on stage was singing passionately. But in reality, there were only a few people truly paying attention to the performance.
Liu Sisi held Madam Gan Senior’s arm as they strolled leisurely along the flower-lined lakeside path.
From afar, a group led by Mrs. Su hurried over. Before they even got close, their laughter had already floated into the ear.
“It’s Madam Gan Senior and the heir and Prefecture Princess gracing us with their presence. I apologize for not being attentive enough. I hope Madam Gan Senior can be forgiving!”
Madam Gan Senior smiled with a face full of wrinkles: “No need to be so polite! I heard that Lord Su has a cluster of golden chrysanthemums blooming in the cold winter, and I couldn’t resist leading my young ones here. I’m sorry to bother you, Mrs. Su.”
“Madam Gan Senior is too serious! We are honored to have you visit our humble abode. It’s truly a blessing! How can it be considered a bother? Please, Old Madam, this way.”
Mrs. Su spoke quickly, her eyes sweeping over everyone and soon falling on Liu Sisi, with a smile following.
