"Mother!" His father slowly strolled up to his grandmother, but he didn't dare to get too close for fear of getting caught up in his grandmother's anger.

"You're a good boy," my grandmother said, straightening up and leaning on the pillow behind her. "Can I eat you?"

When his father heard this, he had no choice but to step forward.

"Mother is sick, how can we not look?" My father did not dare look up at my grandmother, but stood with his hands hanging down.

"You still know that I'm sick?" Usually, his grandmother would have an extremely benevolent appearance. With such a smile, the matriarch's imposing manner was written on her face.

"You know that I'm sick and you're still doing this sort of thing to your bastard wife!?" Are you trying to anger me to death! " The pallet where his grandmother had hammered his hand was thumping loudly.

"My son can't afford it." When his father heard his grandmother's words, he did not dare to retort, for fear of angering his grandmother. He quickly kneeled down and said, "If mother has things to say, she can only teach her son. This is a crime that your son cannot afford!"

Grandmother's face softened a little when she saw how respectful her father was. I poured a cup of tea from a pink teapot and offered it to Grandmother. Grandmother accepted it but didn't drink it.

"Just what are you and your mother planning?" Grandmother looked at her son kneeling on the ground, unable to bear the sight of him.

"Your son would definitely not dare to have any ideas." His father took out a handkerchief from his shirt and wiped the sweat off his forehead, "Yuanyuan is my daughter, how would I harm her?"

I smiled. The three of them knew very well whether I was his daughter or not. Only my father did not know that I already knew of my background, yet I made such a fool of myself.

"She already knows you're her uncle." His grandmother's voice was weary.

Father's body trembled. "What!?" Eyes wide, he looked at me in disbelief. Where was the man who thought he had everything under control?

"You think you're just smart?" His father turned to look at his grandmother blankly.

"Do you think I told the boy? Such an ugly thing, how could I reveal it! " The grandmother straightened up and stared at her father, who was still in the midst of his shock.

"Don't think that just because you're in charge of this family that you can control them." Grandmother sighed. I suddenly understood why in my previous life, although Grandmother objected, she didn't stop my mother. Grandmother's wish was that this house would be peaceful. It didn't matter if it was just peaceful on the surface.

"I don't know what you and Mother are trying to stir up with that child. I just want to ask you, what kind of person is Princess Honghua? Is her appearance something that can be easily found out?" Grandmother looked at me, who was sitting on the chair with a teacup in my hand, and said, "If it doesn't look like it, it's just losing our Yang family's and this kid's reputation, it's fine. But if it really looks like it, then our Yang family is a knife in someone else's hand." She leaned out of bed. "You forget how your father disappeared?" How did your sister manage to live through all that? " Grandmother's sobs echoed around the room. She lost her husband when she was young, and now that she was in the middle of her life and her daughter had been abandoned by her husband, Grandmother was still trying her best to be optimistic.

"My son hasn't forgotten for a moment." The father looked up at his grandmother, his eyes shining. "It's exactly because my son didn't forget that he did it!"

What did that mean? When I first heard that I looked like Princess Honghua, I thought that my father wanted to borrow me to attach himself to the Qin family.

"When Princess Honghua was taken into the palace, she and the princess were considered childhood friends, with no prior knowledge of each other. Afterwards, the princess was sent to the temple, where they often visited each other, and when the princess was taken back to the palace, there was a request for the empress to marry the princess. The empress refused the request, and the princess was taken under her name, becoming the imperial sister. He didn't expect that his father would tell him such a royal secret. This made him seem like he was putting on an act.

When Yuanyuan was eight years old, a mother came to the Lu family. She used to be a court lady, but when she saw Yuanyuan, she said she looked like her." His father had a faint smile on his face, "But Yuanyuan looks more like a sister the bigger she grows. Now, you can only look more like a princess if you wear plain clothes." It was for this reason that my mother insisted that I wear those pale clothes to the feast.

"Based on what you said, you've finally found a good future for this child!" Her grandmother's face was cool, her words like needles directed at her father.

"Mother, you think …" Father raised his head and looked at Grandmother with eager eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, "We value the princess very much today. If we send Yuanyuan to the palace, she will definitely love us dearly, and Yuanyuan can help our family fight back!" His father's fists were clenched, his palms were white, and his eyes were fixed on his grandmother.

"You're so stupid!" Grandmother was so angry by her father that her face turned red. She punched the bed with all her strength. "The emperor is just as deep in love as you said. Don't you know that there are still imperial rules of the imperial harem that cannot be ruled?"

His father's face also lit up. "Although that's what I said, but from previous dynasties, which empress dowager sat at the back without doing anything?"

Grandmother had a smile on her face, but it was extremely cold. "That hall is just a quagmire. Do you think that you can shake off all the mud on your front legs just because you've sunk your front feet into the quagmire?"

"Mother is right." His father lowered his head and stopped arguing with his mother, but apparently he didn't take her words to heart.

"Boss …" Grandmother looked at her father's appearance and understood what he meant, "Think about us and the Lu family. Back then, your father decided to marry your sister regardless of my objections. The Lu family is known as the century-old family, so what happened to your sister?" Grandmother swallowed before speaking: "Think about it again. That's the daughter of the Lu family, why did she throw it away so easily?" I poured a cup of tea and passed it to Grandmother, who drank it with my hand. "Now, how do you know what the Xue Family plans are, relying on them?" From the look of the Lu family, don't you know what the intentions of these families are? " She was exhausted, her voice growing softer and softer, but she still forced herself to persuade her father. It was just that while the onlookers could see what their grandma could see, their father might not take it to heart.

Grandmother slightly opened her eyes and saw that her father, who was still kneeling on the ground, was still in a daze. She slightly closed her eyes.

After a while, Grandmother's voice was filled with sadness and helplessness, "I'm old, so I can only let you guys suffer. When I close my eyes, I won't be able to care about anything else."

"Mother, why do you say that?" Father whispered.

"Go down!" Grandmother waved at her father to say no more.
