Chapter 383: Chapter 219: Wanting Duo Duo’s Child_2

Lady Wang was so angry that her whole body shook, she pointed at Old man Cai and yelled, "How dare you, you insolent servant, to speak to me like that."

Old man Cai sneered and said, "Yes, I am a servant, but I am a servant of the Qian family, not some peasant like you."

Old man Qian also felt that Lady Wang deserved a lesson, if it wasn’t for her stirring up trouble, things wouldn’t have turned out this way. Therefore, he kept quiet and let Old man Cai give her a hard time.

After Old man Cai had finished speaking, he didn’t pay attention to the continuing rants of Lady Wang and drove the ox cart out of the main house. Lady Wang tried to pull Qian Dagui along with her, but Qian Dagui shook off her hand and scolded, "I’m too ashamed to go. It’s all because of you, always causing trouble out of nothing, and turning good days into this mess."

The old couple was directly brought into the Wangjiang Building, and as they sat down, they saw someone who smiled at them resembling their dead grandson Qian Manjiang. The old lady wondered, "Oh, how does this young man look so much like my grandson Manjiang?"

Qian Manjiang walked over, knelt down, and cried as he hugged the old lady, "Grandma, it’s me, your grandson Manjiang. I’m not dead, I’ve come back to see you."

Qian Yeejin came over and said to the old lady, "Great-grandma, it’s true, my dad didn’t die, and he even became an official."

Qian Sangui also said, "Yes, Manjiang is still alive, and he has become a Fifth Rank Officer in the Imperial Army."

Upon hearing this, the old couple was overwhelmed; if Old woman Qian loved anyone the most, it was Jinwa, and what Old man Qian cherished the most was this grandson Qian Manjiang, and they both cried holding Qian Manjiang.

After everyone cried for a while and sat down, Qian Manjiang took out the gifts for the old couple and also gave each family a ten taels silver ingot.

Qian Manjiang told the old couple to never reveal that he was still alive. His current mission was extremely secret, and even during the New Year, they would have to burn paper offerings for his "grave with clothes and hats" until he sent someone to bring news back.

The old man was quite savvy and nodded, saying, "Master understands, master understands. Grandson Manjiang must be undercover. I’m not foolish; we won’t talk recklessly. Old woman, did you hear that?"

After talking for a while, Qian Manjiang pulled Qian Yeejin over and said, "Grandfather, Jinwa is my son, just look at how much he resembles Yueyue and Yixiu. A nephew who looks like his uncle will be blessed..."

Old woman Qian started laughing heartily and said, "See, I told you so, how could Jinwa not be my Qian family’s child. From now on, don’t listen to those two home-destroying wives; they’re up to no good."

Old man Qian, his face flushed, took hold of Qian Manjiang’s hand and said, "Grandson Manjiang, your grandfather was just afraid... Alright, alright, grandfather knows now, I won’t do those things anymore. However, having one grandson in your third branch is not enough; you need to have a few more. You and your wife need to work harder to spread the branches and leaves of the family."

Qian Manjiang’s face beamed with happiness as he said, "Grandfather, rest assured, as long as your grandson is alive, you will have even more great-grandsons."

Then, sitting with the old master, he talked about family matters, ranging from their own to other families, from common folks to noble officials, from a family head to the Emperor himself. In summary, the message was that one should keep to one’s role; if everyone tried to grab the food from another’s bowl, it would be called scheming for wealth among the common people, and at the Imperial Court, it was the heart of disloyalty, the root of great chaos...

The young master was very astute; he spoke with a smile without stirring the air, convincing Old Master Qian, who kept nodding. This talent, not to mention Master Sangui couldn’t compete, even Qian Yixiu admitted he didn’t have the skill.

Qian Yeejin looked at the young master with even greater admiration, simply took a small stool and sat beside Qian Manjiang’s legs, watching the young master without missing a beat, listening to his teachings. Qian Manjiang also occasionally patted his head, delighting the young boy.

The family stayed in the Wangjiang Building without going out, all the way until evening. His mother hadn’t rested well last night and went upstairs to rest after dinner. No one would demand too much from this daughter-in-law.

As night gradually fell, Qian Yixiu noticed that Qian Manjiang’s attention began to wander, looking around restlessly. While the others were still engrossed in conversation and reluctant to leave, the old lady was holding onto his left hand, Lady Wu was holding onto his right, and the young boy was still sitting in front of him, occasionally rubbing his cheek against his leg.

Qian Yixiu yawned and said, "I’m tired, it’s time to go back to sleep."

Qian Manjiang gratefully glanced at her twice; after all, she was his own daughter and knew exactly when to help him. He really wanted to be affectionate with his daughter today, but since she didn’t move closer voluntarily and he was involuntarily held back by the elders, even Yueyue couldn’t get close.
