Chapter 502: Chapter 264: Leaving_1

Qian Yijin saw Old woman Qian like this and, overcome with sorrow, tears streamed from his eyes. He went over to massage the old lady and, weeping, said, "Great-grandma, no matter what becomes of Jinwa, she will always be your great-grandchild. Jinwa will never forget, when I was small and often hungry, Great-grandma would conjure up delicious things to eat as if by magic. Sometimes it was an egg, sometimes a piece of malt sugar, sometimes a few slices of fatty meat..."

As Qian Yijin sobbed, Zhang Zhongkun had been massaging the old lady the entire time. Suddenly, he felt that her body seemed to soften a bit. He excitedly said, "Keep talking, the old lady’s body is softening."

Upon hearing this, Qian Yijin continued, "Great-grandma, that handkerchief wrapped around the fatty meat was soaked with oil, and it smelled so good... Jinwa also remembers, when you would let me sneak into your room for something good to eat, while Brother Shan and Sister Duo Duo cried outside, with Great-aunt banging on basins and bowls. You said to pay them no mind, those two kids weren’t going hungry, it was only Jinwa who was pitiful, never full and never warm enough..."

In the midst of Qian Yijin’s — no, it should now be said, Zhu Sujin’s — ramblings, the old lady’s body slowly softened, she let out a grunt, her iron-grey complexion gradually yellowed a bit, and her eyes also closed.

Zhang Zhongkun quickly applied acupuncture, then had Lady Wu help the old lady up; he patted her back a few times, and after the old lady coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of phlegm, she opened her eyes.

When she saw Qian Yijin, she grabbed him and cried, "Jinwa, they say you are not Great-grandma’s great-grandchild, they are lying, aren’t they?"

Qian Yijin buried himself in her embrace and cried, "Great-grandma, Jinwa is your great-grandchild, I will always be your great-grandchild."

When Old woman Qian heard this, she started laughing awkwardly, her mouth skewing even more, tears and snot flowing all together, as she embraced Qian Yijin and said, "I knew they were fooling me, how could my Jinwa not be my great-grandchild?"

Old man Qian, upon hearing the old woman repeatedly calling him great-grandchild, was terrified. This young noble was a royal relative; this was incredibly disrespectful. He quickly intervened, "I say old woman, have you lost your mind? Jinwa is now a person of status in the Capital City, and you still want to be his great-grandma? Are you seeking death?"

Having heard this, Old woman Qian rolled her eyes and fell back with her neck arched.

Zhang Zhongkun got so angry he had someone remove Old man Qian, and then administered another acupuncture treatment to Old woman Qian. Although the old lady came to, she stopped speaking and just watched Zhu Sujin with tears in her eyes.

Zhu Sujin leaned over her, half-kneeling and crying, "Great-grandma, don’t you want Jinwa anymore?"

The old lady shook her head, "Ah, ah..." She wanted to speak but couldn’t.

Zhu Sujin then said, "Great-grandma still wants Jinwa, that’s good, Jinwa wants Great-grandma too. Remember Great-grandma, no matter what I become in the future, I will always be your great-grandchild Jinwa. Great-grandma, your love for Jinwa won’t be in vain, I will take good care of you. But you have to stay strong and alive, waiting for Jinwa to get you an imperial decree, waiting for Jinwa to take you to the Capital City to enjoy good fortune. Haven’t you always wanted to see the gates of the Palace? Jinwa will take you to see them..."

It was only after Old woman Qian finally cried herself to sleep that Zhu Sujin went back to the inner courtyard.

At this time, Cheng Yue was mumbling, "Jinwa has a son, Yueyue is capable, bearing a son..." She was becoming confused again, repeating these lines over and over.

Qian Yixiu sat by her bed comfortingly as Zhang Yang was at his wit’s end, arranging for a sleep-aid medicine to be prepared to help her sleep.

Cheng Yue saw Zhu Sujin go and tugged his hand repeatedly, saying, "Jinwa, you are born of Yueyue, Yueyue is capable, having given birth to a son with a handle..."

Zhu Sujin nodded and comforted her, "Yes, Jinwa is born of mother, mother is capable..."

When the night was deep, and all was silent, Guiyuan finally settled down.

The more than a hundred military officers on the barren grounds — half were lodged in the Guiyuan’s front yard and those rows of houses in the back, the other half were arranged in the better conditions of the village homes.

After everything was arranged, Wan Erniu and Wan Dazhong returned home to brief Qian Manxia. They would jointly protect young master Zhu Sujin back to the Capital City to report, and then they would return for Qian Manxia and her family.

Although Qian Manxia had long guessed Qian Yijin was not her own child, learning that he was soon to leave her parent’s house to return to his biological family, she was still so upset that tears flowed. Qian Yijin could be said to be raised by her hand; she couldn’t bear it and wanted to visit her parent’s home again to see him.

Wan Dazhong said, "Your parents’ home is already in chaos, having to care for the sick and getting the young master’s things ready; you better not add to the confusion. When he leaves tomorrow, go see him off. Wait a few days, at most two or three months, and I’ll come back for you. Once we’re in the Capital City, won’t you be able to see the young master again?"
