Chapter 278: Chapter 260, Gift_1

With Gu Jian’s help, Granny Gu slowly lay back on the bed, but her eyes were fixed intently on Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang felt uncomfortable being stared at and shifted his gaze towards Daohua, his eyes questioning, “What exactly is going on?”

Daohua shrugged her shoulders and shook her head to indicate that she didn’t know either.

Just as Daohua thought Granny Gu was about to say something, unexpectedly, Granny Gu closed her eyes and turned her back to them, as though she no longer wanted to see them.

At this moment, Gu Jian spoke up, “My sister needs to rest now. You should leave,” his tone unmistakably brusque and unapologetic.

In response, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang exchanged a puzzled look.

Daohua glanced at Granny Gu on the bed, thought for a moment, and then said, “Granny Gu, you rest well. We’ll be going now.”

Granny Gu did not respond, while Gu Jian began to wave them off, clearly impatient.

Daohua, speechless, and Xiao Yeyang quickly left the room.

No sooner had the two stepped out of the room than the door was shut with a ‘bang’.

Xiao Yeyang stared at the firmly closed door, clearly stunned. It was his first time being so unceremoniously dismissed! After a while, he said discontentedly, “What kind of attitude is that?”

Daohua was equally at a loss for words: “Weird monks are like that, very peculiar by nature. They can’t even bother to glance at people they dislike.”

Xiao Yeyang looked over disapprovingly, “Are you saying that weird monk really dislikes me?” Otherwise, why would he have hurried him away as soon as he arrived?

Daohua tapped her chin, eyeing Xiao Yeyang, then suddenly said, “They might know your father. Maybe they even hold a grudge against him.”

Xiao Yeyang laughed it off, responding straightforwardly, “Impossible! No matter how my father was… he simply couldn’t oppress two elders even older than your grandmother.”

Daohua nodded but still appeared puzzled, “But when they heard me mention Prince Ping, they were quite agitated, and Granny Gu also seemed to lose her composure when she saw you. How do you explain that?”

Xiao Yeyang was at a loss for words: “How would I know? Didn’t you say they were weird people? Isn’t it normal for weird people to behave strangely?”

Daohua shook her head, continuing to ponder: “I think that they either have a grudge or a debt of gratitude towards your family…”

Xiao Yeyang cut her off, “Then it must be a debt of gratitude. Judging by their appearance, they must have suffered greatly in the past. Perhaps my father saved them.”

Daohua nodded, “Maybe it’s true. If they really had a grudge, Granny Gu’s attitude towards you wouldn’t have been like that.”

Xiao Yeyang: “Alright, let’s drop this topic. I have nothing to do today, so I’ll accompany you to distribute porridge.”

“Great, Yuanyao and I were just worrying about being short-handed…”

Inside the room, not until the figures of Xiao Yeyang and Daohua were out of sight did Gu Jian leave the window and sit down by the bed.

Granny Gu opened her eyes, her gaze lifeless as she looked at the canopy, “Have they left?”

Gu Jian nodded, “They have.”

After a moment of silence, a faint smile appeared on Granny Gu’s face, “Heaven’s been kind to me after all. Before dying, I got to see the son of Prince Ping.”

A flash of resentment crossed Gu Jian’s eyes, “Sister…”

Granny Gu raised her thin hand to cut off Gu Jian’s words, “In a while, when my health is a bit better, we should leave. Since we made our choice back then, we shouldn’t disturb them anymore.”

Gu Jian lowered his head, his fists clenched tightly. After a while, he said helplessly, “Alright. That girl brought some rice and flour; I’ll go make something for you to eat.” With that, he stood up and left.

Watching her brother’s retreating figure, Granny Gu lay in bed and took a deep breath, caressing her burnt cheek and shedding a tear.

This was all her fate!
