After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms

Chapter 153 Trick

"I am leaving."

Yan Qing turned around and said to Gu Huaizhou, "Nominally, Yan Junyuan is still my father, and Old Madam Yan is also my grandmother. Now that she has passed away, it is only right for me, her granddaughter, to return to the Yan Mansion to visit her..."

"I'll accompany you."

Gu Huaizhou stepped forward and spoke before Yan Qing could refuse: "Yan Junyuan knew that you were not a descendant of the Yan family, but he suddenly asked you to return to the Yan family to see Old Madam Yan to her death. Maybe it's not that simple."

Yan Qing thought about it and nodded: "Okay, let's go together."

Now that she is engaged to Gu Huaizhou, it is reasonable for him to go to pay his respects.

Ironically, the death of Old Madam Yan made the originally deserted Yan Mansion lively again.

The forgotten Yan Junyuan was remembered again.

There is no other reason.

I heard that Princess Qinghe brought the Fourth Prince to pay her respects, and Miss Ye, who had divorced Yan Junyuan, was also going back to the Yan Mansion, and even General Ye was accompanying her!

A pillar of a country.

A popular prince.

Either of these two people is a person that the court officials are eager to serve. In such a situation, the officials in Kyoto naturally cannot fall behind, so they immediately prepared gifts and went to the Yan Mansion to express their condolences to Old Madam Yan.

In front of the mourning hall.

Yan Junyuan knelt on the mat in mourning clothes and cried bitterly.

"Lord Yan, I accept your condolences~"

"Yes, Master Yan, please take care of yourself..."

"If the old lady were still alive, she would definitely not want you to be so sad..."

The friends in the court who had been hiding from Yan Junyuan in the past few days now appeared beside him one by one, comforting him with regret and sorrow on their faces.

Yan Junyuan sneered in his heart.

A bunch of fence-sitters who forget their principles when they see profit!

"Thank you all for your concern. I am truly grateful that you have taken the time out of your busy schedules to visit my late mother..."

Yan Junyuan greeted the adults while crying, but his eyes looked through everyone and looked at the door.

When he saw Yan Qing and Gu Huaizhou appear in the mourning hall, his eyes flashed, and he hurried forward and choked with sobs: "Qingqing, you're back? It's no wonder your grandmother loved you so much. If she knew you came to see her, her spirit in heaven would also..."

"You will die with regrets, right?"

Yan Qing responded bluntly and stopped Yan Junyuan from erecting a monument for her as a filial son and a virtuous grandson.

Yan Junyuan was choked by her.

But soon, he forced a smile and said, "How could that be? Qingqing, do you have any misunderstandings about your grandmother? Your grandmother has always loved you very much..."

"Love Yan Tan."

Yan Qing interrupted Yan Junyuan again and said coldly, "Father, please stop flattering Grandmother. Everyone in Kyoto knows you and Grandmother. Everyone in the Yan Mansion only likes Yan Tan and Yan Hao. They wish that the children born to Ah Xun and me, our legitimate mother, had never been born..."

If you don't believe me, ask the gentlemen, is it true or not?"

The gentlemen immediately pulled up the corners of their mouths and smiled apologetically: "Hahaha, the princess really knows how to joke..."

Even they can't say it to my face.

How murderous and heartbreaking!

Yan Junyuan expected Yan Qing to return home, but he didn't expect her to be so indifferent.

In the past, he would have slapped him.

But for the sake of important matters, I will endure it today!

Yan Junyuan looked at Yan Qing with guilt, his eyes filled with tears. "Qingqing, I know your father has disappointed you, and your grandmother was also a bit harsh on you when she was alive. But you have to believe that your grandmother and I both wanted the best for you. Now that she's gone, please, for the sake of our family, don't blame her anymore."

"Okay, no wonder."

Yan Qingshuang said quickly: "But burning incense is unnecessary."

Yan Junyuan's expression changed slightly.

Gu Huaizhou also said: "Since Qingqing doesn't want to burn incense, then it's inconvenient for this prince to go."

So the two of them walked away and really didn't burn incense for Old Lady Yan.

Yan Junyuan clenched his hands tightly under his sleeves.

This damn girl!

Her grandmother passed away. As a granddaughter, isn't she afraid of being criticized if she doesn't go to burn incense for her grandmother?

He asked her to come back so that she could burn incense for his mother. Why would she come back if she didn't want to burn incense?

Yan Junyuan lowered his eyes and was thinking about how to get Yan Qing to burn incense for the old lady when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Yan Junyuan, you are really capable."

Ye Xiruo followed Ye Zhennan in, her handsome face full of sarcasm and ridicule: "It's only been a few days, and your mother is already pissed off to death by you? You really are her good son!"

Yan Junyuan suddenly clenched his fists.

After a moment, he suddenly let go, stepped forward and bowed to Ye Zhennan, saying: "Thank you, General, for coming to pay your respects to your deceased mother."

Ye Zhennan snorted through his nose.

If it weren't for Qingqing, he would never have come to this smoky and chaotic Yan Mansion!

No matter what Xiruo and Qingqing's attitudes are, their presence shows the greatest attitude. In addition, with the presence of an old man like him, those people probably won't dare to accuse their daughter and granddaughter of being unfilial.

Ye Zhennan took the incense handed to him by the servant, walked forward and bowed, then inserted it into the incense burner.

At this time, Aunt Mei picked up the incense stick and handed it to Ye Xiruo.

Ye Xiruo originally didn't want to answer it.

Like Yan Qing, she did not like Old Madam Yan and did not want to burn incense for the old hag.

But she also knew not to overdo it.

Qingqing is nominally still a child of the Yan family. Since her daughter did not burn incense for Old Madam Yan, she, as her mother, has to burn one for her.

You don't have to do the superficial work.

But we can't do nothing at all.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiruo went to take the incense from Mei Gu's hand, but found that Mei Gu was holding the incense and refused to let go.

"Aunt Mei?"

Ye Xiruo looked up and saw Mei Gu trembling with fear. She thought for a moment and said something comforting: "Birth, aging, sickness and death are common to all people. There is no need to be sad."

Mei Gu's body suddenly froze: "Madam..."

"Aunt Mei!"

Yan Junyuan suddenly said with a cold face: "What are you doing? Why don't you give the incense to... the guest?"

Mei Gu was startled and immediately let go of the incense in her hand.

Ye Xiruo looked at her strangely, but didn't think much about it. She picked up three incense sticks, bowed in front of Old Lady Yan's spirit, and then inserted it.

Subsequent guests came forward to pay their respects one by one.

Logically speaking, all the descendants of the Yan family should kneel in front of the mourning hall to keep vigil for Old Lady Yan.

But Madam Zhen took Yan Tan and Yan Hao away, Yan Xun was in the academy and couldn't come back, and his stepmother Ye Xiruo divorced Yan Junyuan a few days ago. Now, Yan Qing was the only descendant of the Yan family left in Kyoto.

But Yan Qing’s status is different now. Look at her appearance. She doesn’t even burn incense. How can she possibly keep vigil?

So in front of the huge mourning hall, Yan Junyuan was the only one kneeling alone, which looked really... desolate.

Yan Junyuan, who was kneeling on the ground mourning, looked at Yan Qing, who was standing beside him with an expressionless face, and his expression was complicated for a moment.

After all the guests had offered incense, Yan Qing walked over to Ye Xiruo and Ye Zhennan and said, "Grandfather, Mother, I will accompany you back to the General's Mansion."

She didn't think about staying in Yan's house for long.

Ye Xiruo had the same idea and was about to nod, but suddenly her face changed and she spat out a mouthful of blood!
