Chapter 317 Su Yinghuai is the grandfather
Su Yinghuai said somewhat collapsedly: "They are my wife and daughter, my wife and daughter!"
Ye Peng's eyes widened in shock: "What?"
He pinched his thigh and it hurt. It was not a dream, nor was he hallucinating. The Emperor's Master really cried and said some strange things.
Although Xiao Jingxuan and Ye Tang had roughly guessed the truth, they still couldn't help being shocked when they heard Su Yinghuai say it with their own ears.
Xiao Jingxuan helped Su Yinghuai sit down on the stone bench: "Master, please take it easy and don't be too sad."
Ye Tang gave him a bottle of ointment.
Jamel Xiao pulled out the stopper, put the bottle to Su Yinghuai's nose, and asked him to take two deep breaths.
The cool fragrance inhaled into the nose had a calming effect on the mind, and Su Yinghuai's mood gradually stabilized.
Jamel Xiao put away the bottle and gave him a handkerchief. Su Yinghuai took it and wiped away her tears: "Excuse me."
Jamel Xiao said: “You are old, don’t get too excited.”
Su Yinghuai looked at Ye Tang and Ye Peng: "How can I not be excited? The relatives I have been looking for for many years are right next to me, and I didn't recognize them at all."
Ye Peng was an impatient person. Because of what Su Yinghuai had just said, he was very anxious at the moment. Seeing that Su Yinghuai had calmed down, he hurriedly stepped forward and squatted down to ask: "Is what you just said true? Are you really my wife's father?"
Su Yinghuai said slowly: "Huo Ziyan is indeed my wife, but when she disappeared, I didn't know whether she was pregnant or not. According to the time she disappeared, if your wife is my daughter, then if she is not dead, she should be thirty-nine years old this year."
Ye Peng nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yesterday was my wife's 39th birthday."
He is less than one year older than his wife.
"Yesterday's birthday?" Su Yinghuai felt uncomfortable again: "Is her name Jiang Lingyue?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Ye Peng said, "That's not right. If you are Ling Yue's father, why don't you have the same surname?"
"Because when I first met Zi Yan, I used the surname Jiang, which is my mother's surname."
"The year I married her, a group of people came to our house to kill us. I was knocked unconscious that day and thought I was dead. When I woke up, I found that I was not dead, but Zi Yan had disappeared. It was only later that I learned that she might still be alive, but I couldn't find her..."
"Later..." Su Yinghuai sighed lightly and did not finish the rest of his words. He grabbed Ye Peng's arm and asked, "Can you tell me how the mother and daughter got through those years?"
Ye Peng looked at Su Yinghuai, and finally suppressed his surprise. He recalled: "When my mother-in-law came to Wenggang Village, oh, at that time, Wenggang Village was not called Wenggang Village, but Xiaoshan Village. It was a very dilapidated village. The world was in chaos, and there were many people in the village who had fled from all over. As long as they had no bad intentions and would not bring harm to the village, the locals would accept them. My mother-in-law was one of them. She came to Wenggang Village alone and suffered a lot. In less than half a year, she gave birth to Lingyue. I only heard these from others."
"My mother-in-law is a very mysterious woman in the village. She has many skills that the farmers have never seen before. She is the only literate person in the village."
"Because she was a woman and alone, many people wanted to bully her, but she beat them all away."
"My mother-in-law and Lingyue had a very difficult life during those years. When Lingyue was twelve years old, my mother-in-law died of illness. Later, I married Lingyue..."
After listening to what Ye Peng said, Su Yinghuai seemed to have aged several years in an instant, and the few strands of black hair he had turned white.
Xiao Jingxuan helped him into the house and ordered people to prepare tea and cakes. Then he sat aside with Ye Tang and Ye Peng, waiting for Su Yinghuai to recover.
Su Yinghuai took the emerald green jade pendant in his hand and repeatedly stroked the words on the back of the pendant.
It was unknown how long it took before he came out of his sorrow and looked up at Ye Tang.
He stood up and walked towards Ye Tang, stopping only half a meter away from her.
"From the first time I saw you, I felt that you were very kind. I used to think it was because you were Jing Xuan's daughter-in-law, but now that I think about it carefully, it's not the case. Your eyebrows and eyes are quite similar to your grandmother's. It's my fault. I'm old and didn't recognize you." Su Yinghuai recalled the scenes of getting along with Ye Tang: "Not only your appearance, but also your temperament and your learning ability are somewhat similar to your grandmother. Why didn't I think of it! I should have discovered it earlier."
Ye Tang said softly: "Grandfather, it's not that you haven't thought about it, you just don't dare to think about it that way."
Su Yinghuai paused, and joy appeared in his eyes: "What did you call me?"
"Grandfather!" Ye Tang said.
Su Yinghuai smiled with emotion: "You believe in me, don't you doubt me?"
Ye Tang thought for a while before saying, "I have never met my grandmother, and I don't know her well. I don't know what happened between you and her, but I know you, and I know you wouldn't use this to deceive us. You said you are my grandfather, so that shouldn't be false."
"Yes, father-in-law, Tang'er and I both believe you." Ye Peng also echoed: "Lingyue has always wanted to have a father, and now she really has one. Although she can't see anymore, she has a father, and I am happy for her."
Su Yinghuai didn't know what to say. He wanted to hug Ye Tang, but thinking of the difference between men and women, he turned around and hugged Ye Peng: "Good children, you are all good children."
After a while, Su Yinghuai let go of Ye Peng and asked many questions about Jiang Lingyue.
Ye Peng was not very clear about Huo Ziyan's affairs, but he could talk endlessly about Jiang Lingyue's affairs.
Su Yinghuai listened with great interest, sometimes smiling, sometimes surprised, and sometimes showing a look of heartache.
Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan quietly retreated and went to the pavilion.
Tan Yun brought Ye Tang a bowl of red bean soup.
Ye Tang drank two sips before saying, "Today's surprise is really huge. I never dreamed that the Grandmaster would be my grandfather."
Xiao Jingxuan sighed softly: "I didn't expect it either. Didn't the master never marry? How could he be your grandfather?"
Ye Tang asked him, "Does the Su family not know that my grandfather is getting married?"
When people in the capital talk about Su Yinghuai, they only talk about his various great achievements, and rarely talk about his private life. There is only a rumor that he has never married.
Xiao Jingxuan nodded: "It should be, otherwise there wouldn't be rumors outside that the master is unmarried."
Ye Tang took another sip of red bean soup: "There is a story between grandpa and grandma."
