Chapter 15 The Grandfather

Liu Guogong and his three sons were discussing the change of the garrison, when the butler suddenly walked in, "Master, Miss Biao is here, and she brought spring rolls made by herself."

All three were startled.

The second master Liu Yanhai even coughed up tea, which stained the clothes on his chest. He wiped it carelessly, "Uncle Zhong, what are you talking about? Yuexi is here, and she brought spring rolls, did I hear you right?"

The voice was getting smaller and smaller, and it was still full of uncertainty.

Liu Guogong's face was also moved, "You three go back first."

Liu Yanbo and Liu Yanji stood up one after another, and were caught by Liu Yanhai before saluting, "Father, we are just hungry, didn't our niece make spring rolls, why don't we try it too?"

The last three were driven away.

"Miss Biao, the Duke is waiting for you inside." Uncle Fu said.

Uncle Fu is Liu Guogong's confidant, has been serving him for many years, and is also the housekeeper of Liu Guogong's mansion.

Cui Yuexi paused, she had already reached the door, but she was still a little apprehensive.

Uncle Fu smiled, "Miss Cousin, let's go in."

Cui Yuexi nodded and walked in.

The door of the study room was opened, and in the center hung a plaque bestowed by the late emperor to serve the country faithfully, next to it was a book shelf with bamboo slips and a complete set of books, and on the other side hung some bows and arrows and exquisite ancient swords.

A study room with two styles.

Liu Guogong's hair has already turned sixtieth, and his face is resolute and resolute, with many gullies outlined by the tight lines. He is sitting at the table at this time.

When Cui Yuexi saw him, many pictures of grandparents and grandchildren getting along in the past could not help appearing in his mind.

Grandfather should have enjoyed family happiness, but in recent years, he has been troubled by her affairs. He must be very sad when he was so ignorant before.

Cui Yuexi suppressed the guilt in her heart and stepped forward.

"Grandfather."

Cui Yuexi put her hands in front of her body, and performed a kneeling salute in a respectful manner.

Duke Liu frowned, and the coldness on his face instantly turned into concern, "Why do you need to do such a big gift, I heard that you were frightened during the day, stop kneeling, get up and sit down."

Cui Yuexi stood up with sobs, but did not sit down.

Liu Guogong looked at her carefully. It was a few months ago that the grandfather and grandson met each other last time. At that time, they had a quarrel and broke up because of their children.

Later, because he was too busy with the affairs of the court and had no time to do so, he somewhat ignored her.

But this doesn't mean that he doesn't know Cui Yuexi well. On the contrary, he knows this girl very well. Her personality is as stubborn as her mother's. She seems to be stupid, but she is actually very stubborn.

Liu Guogong seemed to ignore Cui Yuexi, but in fact he had placed some people in the Cui family, and he even knew something about the quarrel between her and Cui Jun and his wife today.

It was because of this that he was a little more surprised by this granddaughter.

In the past, Cui Yuexi trusted the couple very much, even more than his grandfather, but today she behaved like a different person, especially standing in front of him, he couldn't see clearly what she was thinking.

Is it because people are old and mentally weak?

Cui Yuexi lowered her head, not daring to face Duke Liu.

Liu Guogong could only see the top of her head, "I heard that you want to see me."

Cui Yuexi hummed before remembering the stone box in her hand.

"I remember that my grandfather used to like to eat the spring rolls I made the most. I heard that you didn't eat, so I brought some here."

The voice of speaking became smaller and smaller, if it wasn't for Liu Guogong's amazing hearing, he wouldn't be able to hear clearly at all.

"Bring it up."

Not to mention anything else, Cui Yuexi's craftsmanship is unparalleled.

Duke Liu Guo was really hungry after a busy day. In front of his niece, he was not so particular. He finished the spring rolls and side dishes on the plate in just a few mouthfuls, and he was even a little bit unsatisfied.

"The fly in the ointment is a pot of wine."

Cui Yuexi said cleverly, "Yuexi came back in a hurry this time and didn't bring any vintage wine. I'll bring a pot for my grandfather another day."

"You have to do it with your own hands."

"it is good."

Liu Guogong smiled with satisfaction, wiped his hands and looked at Cui Yuexi.

"The spring rolls are finished, and it's getting late, do you have anything to say to me?"

Cui Yuexi noticed that the smile on her grandfather's face faded visibly with the naked eye. Thinking of her previous behaviors, she also understood that her grandfather would have such a reaction.

"I do have something to tell my grandfather. I don't plan to pursue the matter of falling off the horse today."

"..." Liu Guogong's complexion really changed.

But he was not as angry as before, but asked patiently, "What do you think?"

His intuition told him that his granddaughter was different, and he wanted to hear her thoughts.

"Baoqin is dead. With her elder brother's confession alone, there is no way to correct Cui Jinchao. If the incident becomes serious, it will only increase the laughing stock. As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized. Since the second uncle has punished Cui Jinchao, I think That's the end of the matter."

The smile on Liu Guogong's face slowly faded, and he tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

"Besides Cui Jinchao, there is one other person."

Cui Yuexi said in disgust, "It's Cheng Shi."

Liu Guogong thought that Cui Yuexi was going to intercede for Cheng Shi, and he was already disappointed in his heart.

but heard.

"Cheng Shi framed me in the street. I have already written a letter to learn from Zhengsi. If he is fired from Xuezhengsi, his future in this life will be over."

Liu Guogong sat up in surprise, "You said you wrote a complaint and went to the Secretary of State to sue him?"

"Yes."

"..." Duke Liu remained silent.

This incident had a great impact on him. The grandparent and grandson had quarreled no less than five times over Cheng Shi in the past three years, but now Cui Yuexi suddenly turned against each other, which was really abnormal.

According to Liu Guogong's many years of experience, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

"Didn't you always like him before? Why do you want to sue him this time?"

"Before, I was always happy with Cheng Shi because I thought Sister Rong and Brother Ye were his children."

Liu Guogong keenly grasped the words, "Could it be that Sister Rong and Brother Ye are not his children?"

If so, great.

Liu Guogong has always looked down on the faces of Cheng's father and son, and always has ambivalence towards the two children.

"Wait, didn't you insist that the child belonged to him before? Why has it changed now?"

Wouldn't it be to offend Cheng Shi and deceive him on purpose.

"Not long ago, the fourth prince found me. He admitted that he was the person in the temple three years ago. I was not awake when he left, so I was coaxed by Cheng Shi. The fourth prince and the two children recognized their relatives. The children were indeed is his."

"Let me think about it."

Cui Yuexi nodded, she knew that this incident had a great impact on her grandfather, and it would take time to recover.
