Chapter 327 Let them see.
"Grandmother? We have a grandmother?"
"..." Ye Qing'an glanced at Ye Feiran: "Without my maternal grandmother, where would we be?"
"But I'm already nine years old, and I've never seen them before."
Ye Qing'an was not surprised that Ye Feiran had such doubts, and simply turned around and went into the main house in the backyard.
Ye Feiran followed behind Ye Qing'an, still looking puzzled: "And you just said that our maternal grandmother was born into a family of forge masters, so she should be very skilled. If she's that skilled, how come Mother and we..."
Ye Qing'an handed a stick of incense to Ye Feiran. Ye Feiran was taken aback, but he obediently stopped and lit a stick of incense for the portrait of Su Wan hanging on the wall.
“Previously, our maternal family was indeed a well-known noble family in Wangjing City, so when my mother married into the Ye family, it was considered a grand and prestigious marriage.”
“Father once promised in front of my maternal grandfather that he would never take a concubine and would treat Mother well with all his heart. But…” Ye Qing’an raised his eyes to look at the woman in the portrait on the wall, his expression indifferent: “After Mother gave birth to me and learned that I was a useless person who could not cultivate, Father’s attitude towards Mother suddenly changed.”
"Later, they started taking concubines into the family one after another..."
Ye Feiran frowned, somewhat incredulous: "But didn't Father promise not to take concubines?"
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "So, my maternal grandfather came to make trouble, probably because I am dull-witted and a good-for-nothing, which made my mother lose confidence and feel that she was the one who wronged my father first. So she sided with my father and hurt my maternal grandparents' feelings."
“That’s not how it should be calculated.” Ye Feiran frowned, his face serious. “No matter how talented you are, your father shouldn’t be someone who breaks his own vow.”
Ye Qing'an smiled, feeling that her teaching of Ye Feiran during this period had been somewhat useful. At least now Ye Feiran was beginning to have his own, and arguably correct, thoughts and opinions on things.
"My maternal grandparents were extremely disappointed to see that my mother was not doing well in the Ye family, but she was unwilling to divorce and return home with them. However, she was still their daughter, and they could not really ignore her. Therefore, they still tried their best to help my father in many things."
"But later, as Father gradually gained a foothold in the court and the Ye family, he had different opinions and understandings from his maternal grandparents on many things, and he stood on a different side from his maternal grandfather. His maternal grandparents' family became a stumbling block for him."
"Later, he plotted against his maternal grandfather, causing him to be demoted to the fifth rank and then sent to Tongxin Prefecture. Tongxin Prefecture was remote and poor, and he was gone for many years. Because of the distance and the fact that they were harmed by their father, they were heartbroken and their mother felt guilty. Gradually, they stopped exchanging letters."
Ye Feiran pursed her lips tightly, and after a long while said, "Why is it that the father in your story seems different from the one I know?"
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "Perhaps. Everyone sees things differently from their own perspective. But even if you don't know or haven't heard of something, you can't deny whether it happened or whether it's true."
Ye Feiran nodded thoughtfully.
"Because of this, when my mother passed away, she specifically instructed that no letters be sent to Tongxin Prefecture. As a result, my maternal grandfather never knew that my mother had passed away, nor that you and I had lived such difficult days in this mansion."
"Although the news was delayed, it finally reached Tongxin Prefecture nearly ten years later. My maternal grandfather was furious and resigned from his post to return. I met with my maternal grandfather and grandmother some time ago."
Ye Feiran blinked, her eyes filled with curiosity: "What kind of people are they? I've met my older brother and second sister's maternal grandparents, and I don't think I like them very much."
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "When I have time later, I'll take you to meet them. But..."
"Father doesn't like us associating with our maternal grandparents. Don't tell anyone about this."
"I know."
Ye Qing'an pondered for a moment before saying, "If you want to learn forging, I can ask my maternal grandmother. She comes from a family of forging masters and should know where to learn the most advanced forging techniques. I'll then find a way to send you there..."
Ye Feiran took a deep breath: "Alright."
Ye Qing'an raised her eyes: "If you don't want to be deceived, framed, insulted, or looked down upon anymore, then you can only put in ten times, a hundred times, more diligence and effort. When you achieve success, then you can show those who bullied you, humiliated you, belittled you, and despised you what they've got..."
"Look at what you looked like back then, and look at what they looked like back then. Everyone in the world may lie to you, but only your hard work and time will not lie to you. As long as you put in the effort seriously, time will give you the reward you want."
Ye Feiran was deeply moved by Ye Qing'an's words. She took a deep breath and nodded quickly, "I understand. I will definitely work hard. Work hard so that Father, Mother, Li Wen, the Sixth Prince, Gu Pan, and Li Mao can see for themselves..."
Ye Qing'an smiled and raised her hand to ruffle Ye Feiran's hair.
When Ye Feiran was rubbed by Ye Qing'an, his whole body suddenly stiffened. He had seen Ye Qing'an rub Eleven's hair from time to time before. Every time he saw it, he would think that this was probably the real mother and son, intimate and close.
But now that action has fallen on him...
"I...I...I'll go back to my studies right now."
Ye Qing'an laughed: "Go ahead."
Ye Feiran ran away as if fleeing, screaming and yelling in alarm as she ran.
Ye Qing'an raised her hand and rubbed her temples, looking somewhat helpless. What kind of reaction was this?
Did she overstimulate him so much that he went crazy?
Or perhaps the medicine Yi Moxu gave him before hadn't fully worn off yet?
As Ye Qing'an was pondering this, she heard the voice of the person who had just flashed through her mind speak behind her: "I didn't know that Qing'an was so reasonable and could guide a lost child like this."
"..." Ye Qing'an turned her head and looked at Yi Moxu expressionlessly.
How could she forget that Yi Moxu has already moved into her courtyard?
