C59 - 59th Chapter -

The next day, Jiegeng woke up early in the morning. It was not because of anything else, but because she had gone to see her grandfather, whom she had never met before.

After a full two hours, Jiegeng finally got on the carriage heading to the Duke of Lin's Public House.

"Jiegeng, don't be too nervous. Grandfather and the others are all very good people." Duan Shihan also went along and could not help but comfort Jiegeng who was feeling unsettled in her heart.

Jiegeng forcefully pulled out a smile but did not say a word.

When Rani Yi saw this, it was also not good to say anything.

Once the carriage got off, the housekeeper of the Duke of Lin's Public House immediately came out to welcome them.

"Esteemed wangfei, princess, you have all come. The Great Master has been waiting inside for a long time." The butler respectfully bowed to the two great figures walking in front of him.

"This must be Miss Bai!" The housekeeper immediately bowed to a little girl who was cowering behind him.

Duan Shihan pulled Jiegeng out, "Uncle Lin, let's go. Don't let grandpa wait."

"Jiegeng, what are you afraid of? With me around, even if Grandpa eats people, I won't let him eat you first." Duan Shihan could only tease Jiegeng, hoping to relax her mood.

Even so, Jiegeng's mood did not ease much.

"Alright, stop standing at the door." Rani Yi was the first to follow the butler into the door.

When Jiegeng entered the main hall, she saw a hale and hearty old man sitting at the main seat stand up excitedly and stare straight at her.

"You... You are Jiegeng? An elegant child!" The usually composed Duke Lin had actually lost his composure today.

Jiegeng nodded her head and cautiously performed a bow.

"Good child, quickly come over and let Grandfather take a look." Duke Lin stretched out his hand and could not help but tremble slightly.

Jiegeng lowered her head and did not move.

Duke Lin's face was filled with disappointment. He sighed and said slowly. "Child, are you blaming me?"

Jiegeng was silent. In her mind, a blurry scene flashed by. In every scene, her mother seemed to be sad about not being able to get her grandfather's forgiveness.

"Every time mother returns empty-handed, she would secretly cover up her tears." Jiegeng lowered her head as if she was talking to herself again.

"Although I can't remember mother's appearance anymore, I can't forget the way she wipes away her tears." Jiegeng paused. "Because, in my eyes, that seemed to be the only thing that made my mother sad."

Rani Yi, who had wanted to comfort her a few times, also gave up when she heard this.

"However, I still remember that every time Mother cries, she will tell me, Jiegeng, in the future, you have to be filial to Grandfather. Mother doesn't have this chance. I hope that you can do this for Mother."

When Duke Lin heard this, tears started to flow down his face.

He remembered that when Qing Ya was unwilling to accept his arrangements and was determined to be with Bai Xuan, how resolute was he? Until now, he still remembered the back view of Qing Ya when he wanted to sever his relationship with this family.

Duke Lin could still hold back his silence, but Old Granny Lin, who was standing at the side, could not hold it in anymore.

"My poor daughter. When Qing Ya wanted to return home, I shouldn't have listened to an old man like you. You made my daughter suffer for nothing..." At this point, Granny Lin could no longer continue. She went forward and hugged Jiegeng.

" Jiegeng, my good granddaughter, let Granny take a good look! "

"My God, those eyes are so elegant!" Looking at those familiar eyes, old lady Lin's tears became even more fierce.

After conveying her mother's regret, Jiegeng seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden. Looking at this crying old man in front of her, Jiegeng could not bear it in the end.

"Grandma, Jiegeng is unfilial and has made you sad."

When she heard the word "grandma," Granny Lin cried with a smile. "Silly child! Silly child..."

Duke Lin's originally dim eyes also lit up following Jiegeng's address. He looked at Jiegeng with anticipation, unable to hide his nervousness.

Jiegeng lifted her head and met Duke Lin's gaze.

Jiegeng's brows widened, but in the end, she still called out softly, "Grandfather."

"Good! Good!," High Duke Lin smiled sincerely and kept nodding his head.

When Rani Yi saw this, she could not help but use a silk handkerchief to wipe away her tears.

Other than Rani Yi, this aunt, Jiegeng also had a blood relative uncle who was now the head of the Lin Family.

After Jiegeng acknowledged the relatives of the Lin Family, she had lunch at the Duke of Lin's Public House before returning to King Yi's Mansion.

After returning to King Yi's Mansion, Jiegeng immediately received a message from Anzhao - she would meet Ghost Doctor in Ouyang Lingfeng's courtyard three days later.

Jiegeng's mood was currently in chaos because of Ghost Doctor's matter, so she could only recite the Bai's Medical Scripture repeatedly in her heart, so she calmed her heart.

Once Duan Shihan settled Jiegeng's matter, she impatiently went to Ouyang Lingfeng's courtyard.

"Shihan, you are here." Ouyang Lingfeng's words contained an unconcealable excitement.

"Yes." Duan Shihan tried her best to avoid Ouyang Lingfeng's passionate gaze.

"Let's go."

Duan Shihan did not give Ouyang Lingfeng any extra time to chat.

Along the way, Duan Shihan was still as usual and did not talk to Ouyang Lingfeng. And this time, Ouyang Shuo was also unusually quiet.

"It's here." Duan Shihan stopped outside the big tree forest outside the manor.

"From here on out, a formation was set up." Duan Shihan raised her head and looked at Ouyang Lingfeng. "Can you tell anything?"

When Ouyang Lingfeng became serious, he was still quite reliable.

"Give me some time. I will observe it first."

Duan Shihan nodded. She walked to a big rock next to her and sat down to avoid disturbing Ouyang Lingfeng.

After a while, Ouyang Lingfeng opened his mouth.

"The method to enter the formation is very simple. However, the magic of this formation is within the formation. If one does not enter the formation, one will not be able to see clearly, let alone break the formation."

"Then let's enter the formation." Duan Shihan did not hesitate at all.

"Shihan, can you tell me what is inside?" Ouyang Lingfeng didn't plan to enter the formation immediately.

"Why do you insist on going inside?"

There was nothing to hide from him, so Duan Shihan told him without reservation.

After Ouyang Lingfeng heard it, he frowned deeply. "Shihan, I'll go in. Based on what you've experienced yesterday, I'm afraid you haven't entered the formation yet. I can't see how many traps are hidden in the formation. I can't know that there is danger. And I even brought you to take risks."

" I have to go in. If you don't want to, then I'll go find someone else." Duan Shihan said to Ouyang Lingfeng plainly and observed his expression.

Ouyang Lingfeng just quietly looked at Shihan.

Shihan saw this and did not intend to continue the entanglement. She turned around and left.

Ouyang Lingfeng hugged Duan Shihan from behind. "I really lost to you. How can I be at ease when you go in with the others?"

Duan Shihan was also shocked.

"Fortunately, the first person you thought of was me." Ouyang Lingfeng's lips raised.

Duan Shihan was speechless.
