The old minister said: "I am a warrior. I don't understand love or affection. I dare not disobey Yan Min's last wish."

"She was feeling very uncomfortable physically at that time. If I didn't respond, she would feel uncomfortable too."

She was suffering from illness, how could he bear to see her suffer any more.

Thinking back on it now, his heart still ached dully.

As he spoke, he looked at Yan Cheng and Yan Yu: "You were still young at that time. Although you can remember things, you are still children."

"Which child doesn't need a mother's care?"

"I'm a rough man, and I know you had a good relationship with your third aunt. After all, she came to take care of you when you were still in Yanmin's belly, and she has been taking care of you since you were born. When you grew up, you had a very harmonious relationship with her."

"I've always heard that stepmothers mistreat their children. Some stepmothers praise them to death, and some stepmothers harm them secretly."

"I thought Yanmin was right. Instead of entrusting the child to outsiders, it is better to entrust it to our own family."

"At that time, how could I have the time to discipline you all the time?"

The military is very busy.

In fact, the emperor at that time had already had the idea of ​​taking back the military power of the Yan family, and he was really worried about this.

It would be great if there was someone who could come and help take care of his and Yanmin's children, and this person knew him well.

"Your mother also said that because of your birth, your third aunt often came to our house, and she wasted her best years because of it."

"For all these reasons combined, I agreed."

"Whether you blame me or not, the fact is that I agreed to take her in as a concubine."

Soon, he changed the subject: "If she really planned this, I will never let her off easily!"

Yan Funing asked softly, "Is Grandfather thinking about Grandmother?"

"Of course I do. How could I not?" The old Duke smiled, but his eyes were filled with tears. "Young couples grow old together. I wish she would always be by my side."

He and Yanmin were a young couple, and the friendship between them was something that only older people like them could understand.

Although he said that he was a rough man and a warrior, he also had a soft spot in his heart.

"Girl, your mouth looks most like your grandmother's. When grandpa saw you for the first time, he knew that you were a member of our Yan family."

"grandfather!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Funing quickly walked over and threw herself into her grandfather's arms, tears falling uncontrollably.

The old Duke patted his granddaughter's shoulder and said, "Your grandmother was also a pampered person. I once regretted that she gave birth to two children for me. She suffered a lot when she gave birth to your father and aunt, especially your father, who was the first child she and I had. It is said that the first child is the most difficult to give birth to. She was in pain for two days. But I don't regret that she gave birth to two children for me. Because of her, I have such smart descendants like you."

Yan Funing raised her head in the old Duke's arms: "Grandfather, Concubine Yun said that grandma is a kind-hearted person. I think grandma is not only kind-hearted, but also beautiful."

It’s a pity that she never met her grandmother.

"She is indeed kind-hearted and beautiful. When we first met, I fell in love with her at first sight." The old Duke's eyes shone with tiny sparks. "It was a good time for spring outings. I rode past her on horseback and the mud splashed on her from the horse's hooves. I hurriedly dismounted to apologize, but unexpectedly she generously said that it was okay."

She was clearly a delicate woman, and she magnanimously said it was nothing to his reckless behavior.

"At that time, I asked for compensation in silver, but I didn't have any money with me, and she said it was not necessary. I had no choice but to offer her clothes as compensation, and asked her to tell me her address, and I would send someone to deliver it to her door, but she said it was not necessary. In desperation, I gave her the token I had on me, and asked her to send someone with the token to the Yan family to get the silver note."

"When she refused, I put the token in her hand..."

"Now that I think about it, I was pretty brave. I held a girl's hand like that."

"Later, I waited for half a month, but she didn't come to the Yan family. I asked the doorman and the housekeeper, but they said no one came with the token." "Just when I was thinking that I would never see her again, I didn't expect that I would finally meet her at the Flower Festival held in the palace."

"That time, she returned the token to me. It was then that I knew she was the legitimate daughter of the Yongding Marquisate."

"It was also at that time that the emperor wanted to arrange a marriage for me. He wanted me to marry Princess Shang as his consort, so that he could hand over the military power of the Yan family."

"I wanted to keep my military power and I was moved by my youth. I announced in front of everyone that I had a crush on someone, Yan Min."

"The emperor was pleased to hear this and granted me and Yanmin a marriage on the spot."

Hearing this, Yan Bojian gave a thumbs up and said, "Grandfather is amazing. He is worthy of being our grandfather. He only met her once, and the marriage was arranged the second time."

The old Duke smiled and said, "Speed ​​is of the essence in war, and the same is true for marrying a wife. If you like her, there are others who like her too. If you don't act quickly, someone else will snatch her away."

He smiled and his eyes looked lonely.

His wife has not been with him for many years.

He didn't like staying in this house without her.

Especially Dongyuan, which reminds him all the time that his wife is long gone.

He liked to come to Nanyuan because Nanyuan was the residence of his eldest son, Yan Cheng, who was his and Yan Min's first child.

Especially after Fu Ning came back, he liked to come to Nanyuan more. This little girl Fu Ning had a mouth like Yan Min, and her delicate personality was just like Yan Min.

At this time, Yan Yu said, "Why hasn't that person from Dongyuan come yet?"

Hong Qingyi guessed, "Maybe your nanny can't invite her."

The old Duke looked at Di Feng and said, "Take someone to invite them. If you can't invite them, tie them up."

"Yes, old Duke."

Di Feng bowed and left.

Madam Hong sneered: "I told you this a few years ago, but you didn't listen to me. Now that your children and grandchildren have told you, you dare to face it. You said you are old..."

"You are right. You are right about everything you said." The old Duke responded casually.

Who can understand his pain?
He just doesn't want to face it.

Sometimes he would fantasize that as soon as he stepped into the Duke's Mansion, Yan Min would come to pick him up and ask him how his day was in the military camp.

He didn't even want to face the fact that Yan Min had been gone for so many years...

He really doesn't want to care about other things.

As long as he could live in the Duke's Mansion, it would be fine. Besides, he had promised Yan Min. Would he go back on his word and be scolded by Yan Min by pulling her ears when he went to see her a hundred years later?

Everyone waited for a while, and Di Feng and the nanny finally brought Madam Yan over.

Seeing so many people in the main hall of Nanyuan, Old Madam Yan was a little surprised. She glanced at an old woman sitting on a round stool and saw her stand up and bow.

In just a moment, she recognized the person.

It’s Ami, the eldest sister’s personal maid.

However, even if she recognized him, she would not shout.

She is now the old lady of the Duke's Mansion, an old maid, and a dead elder sister. No one can do anything to her. (End of this chapter)
