C258 Sad
When Liu Zhimo heard that the butler mentioned Old Master Lu, his entire being was stunned for a moment. "Grandpa butler, what did you say?" Was it what he was thinking?
"Young Master, Old Man Liu and Old Master Lu have arrived, and are currently sitting in the Flower Hall."
He did not hear wrong, it was indeed Old Master Lu.
He suddenly rubbed his hands nervously. He told the butler to go down first, he would go over shortly.
After the butler left, Li Qingling smiled and asked him if he was nervous.
Liu Zhimo let out a light sigh, turned his head and looked at Li Qingling, honestly nodding his head, saying, he was indeed a little nervous.
What was he so nervous about?
Li Qingling took a step forward and held Liu Zhimo's hand, "It's fine, Old Master Lu probably just wants to confirm whether or not you're his grandson."
"I know." He had originally wanted to wait until spring before going to the Lu family, but he didn't expect that his grandfather would come.
Would Grandfather accept the three siblings?
"Alright, don't make Grandfather wait too long, go quickly!"
Liu Zhimo nodded, he kissed Li Qingling on the forehead, and told her to wait for him, then turned and left.
In the hall of flowers, Old Master Lu was staring at Old Man Liu.
After a long while, Old Man Liu cleared his throat, "My dear family, have you seen this ink before?"
Old Master Lu looked up at Old Man Liu, "Elder Liu, who are you calling home?" The matter of Old Man Liu annulling the engagement with him that year, he would never forget it.
This Old Man Liu was someone who would forget everything.
Old Man Liu choked and touched his nose somewhat guiltily. He admitted that it was indeed his fault at that time, he shouldn't have forced his youngest son to break off the engagement.
"Family, that year, it was my fault. I apologize to you here. However, I hope that you won't say such words again to avoid those who want to listen in and cause trouble for the three Mo siblings."
Although his youngest son was engaged to his youngest son's daughter-in-law, they were not married yet. If someone made a fuss about it, it would belittle his three grandchildren.
He could not allow his grandchildren to be ostracized.
Hearing that, Old Master Lu looked at Old Man Liu in a daze. He did not expect that there would be a day where Old Man Liu would apologize as well.
"My dear, I sincerely apologize to you. I hope you don't bring up matters of the past. Look forward."
"Truly rare. One day, Old Liu will apologize to others." Old Master Lu regained his senses and laughed.
"I don't want to make things difficult for my grandson." Old Man Liu pursed his lips and said.
For his grandchildren, he had to live in peace with Old Master Lu, and not make things difficult for his grandchildren.
Who said it was his fault that year? If it wasn't for him, his youngest son and his daughter-in-law would have been able to smoothly get married.
What was the thing he regretted the most in his life? That year, he had forced his youngest son to break off the engagement with his daughter-in-law, and in the end, he had forced his younger son to leave.
It had been more than ten years, and he had never seen her again. This was one of the things he regretted the most.
Old Master Lu was silent for a moment, "I have never seen him before, and am not sure if he is really my grandson?" He just heard that there was a person who looked exactly like Liu Siye and was even called Master Mr. Luo, so he thought that there was a high possibility that he was his grandson.
He didn't ask anyone to investigate and just ran over.
Now that he thought about it, he felt that he had been too impulsive and should have been investigated thoroughly before coming to see him again.
Old Man Liu looked at Old Master Lu who had a perturbed expression, sighed and said, "He's your grandson. The two grandchildren look like my son, and the granddaughter looks really like your daughter." Pausing, "You .. Have you received any letters from them in the past ten or so years? "
Hearing Old Man Liu's affirmation, Old Man Luo's heart slightly calmed down, "No, there's not a single piece of news from them." At that time, his case had not been reversed and he had not been able to find out anything about his daughter.
When he returned to the capital, he sent people to ask about his daughter. However, there was no way he could get news of her.
I wonder how my daughter is doing?
It was also because of this reason that he came running over impulsively when he heard the news that Liu Zhimo looked like Liu Siye.
He believed that with Liu Siye's character, he would definitely be able to take good care of his daughter.
It seemed that Old Master Lu still did not know about the news of his youngest son and daughter-in-law being gone, Old Man Liu frowned slightly. He was considering whether or not he should divulge this news to Old Master Lu first, to let him know, and let him prepare himself.
"That... "Family, you .."
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Liu Zhimo.
"Grandfather .."
"Ai .." When he turned his head to look at Liu Zhimo, he sized him up for a moment. Seeing that was fine, he scolded him with a wooden face, "Such a huge event happened yesterday, why didn't you tell Grandfather? With Grandfather here, who will dare to bully you? " Did the Mansion of the State really think that there was no one left in the Liu Family? He actually dared to casually bully his grandson's wife.
"..." His grandfather was such a tyrant, if he really came to the Jing Zhao Palace, he might have to fight with the Mansion of the State. When Liu Zhimo thought of that scene, he silently sweated on the spot, "The time is too short, I'll head over there with grandmaster first." Moreover, with a great backer like Master, no one would dare to bully them carelessly.
Wasn't Mansion of the State taught a lesson?
Old Man Liu's mouth twitched a little in dissatisfaction. He felt that it was a little displeasing to not find his grandfather if his grandson had something to do.
"Next time, if anything happens, you must tell grandpa. grandpa will help you out."
"Alright .." What else could he say besides nod?
Old Man Liu saw Liu Zhimo nod his head and his heart was at ease, "Zhimo, come over to see your grandfather."
Seeing Liu Zhimo's face, Old Master Lu had no choice but to admit that he looked very much like his son-in-law, Liu Siye.
"Child, your mother is?"
"Lu Siyu, my mother is called Lu Siyu." Liu Zhimo thought of his mother that was as gentle as water, and his eyes reddened a little. "I look like a father, and my sister looks like a mother." As he spoke, he sent someone to call his younger brother and sister over.
As long as his grandfather saw his sister, he would definitely be able to recognize her.
Old Master Lu stood up, slightly trembling, and sized Liu Zhimo up seriously. "Where have you lived for the past ten odd years? How are you doing? Did your parents come to the capital? "
Looking at the emaciated Old Master Lu, Liu Zhimo's heart ached. He hurriedly stepped forward to support Old Master Lu, "Grandfather, you sit, I'll tell you slowly, okay?" Grandfather was about the same age as Grandfather, but Grandfather looked much older. The years he had been exiled must have been filled with extreme hardship, causing his body to decline at a rapid pace.
"Alright, alright .." Old Master Lu immediately held Liu Zhimo's hand and sat down. He pulled Liu Zhimo's hand and sat beside him, waiting for his reply.
Liu Zhimo looked at Old Master Lu, and he was truly a little hesitant, afraid that he would not be able to handle the news that his mother was not around.
As if he had noticed Liu Zhimo's hesitation, Old Master Lu said with a calm expression, "Child, speak! Grandfather has experienced so much heavy rain and wind, he can bear it. "
Clutching Old Master Lu's hand with the back of his hand, Liu Zhimo slowly began to talk, and only when he talked about his parents did he stop.
After a moment, he said, "Father and mother died a few years ago. They died from the plague."
Right after he finished speaking, Liu Zhimo felt Old Master Lu's hand tremble a little. The strength in his hand that was holding Old Master Lu's hand increased a little as he smiled and comforted Old Master Lu.
He didn't expect that his precious daughter was also gone. Out of so many children, only his eldest son was left.
Old Master Lu's expression became even more dejected. His eyes reddened, but no tears flowed out.
After all these years, his tears had already flowed down his face, and even if he wanted to, he wouldn't be able to shed them.
"Grandfather, although I don't live very well in Ox-Head Village, mother is very happy."
"That's good, that's good .." That year, he didn't want his daughter to be exiled with him, so when Liu Siye suggested to bring her away, he nodded and agreed without hesitation.
He felt that it was better for their daughter to follow Liu Siye than him, as she wouldn't suffer too much.
From his grandson's words, he found out that his daughter was indeed living a blissful life, but ..
"Did your mother ever tell you about us?"
Liu Zhimo shook his head, "Father and mother have never told us anything about the capital. It is likely that they do not wish for us to fall into this mess! We just want to grow up safe and sound. " Otherwise, he wouldn't have just been a teacher with his dad's talent.
Old Master Lu mumbled as he nodded his head. Your parents thought about it very carefully.
"Go and move your parents back later! It's too far away, so even if grandfather wanted to, he wouldn't be able to see it. "
With Old Master Lu's suggestion, the Old Man Liu agreed.
"Zhimo, what your grandfather said is right. Next time, when you go back and bring your parents back, you must also go on the family tree."
Liu Zhimo looked at Old Master Lu, then at Old Man Liu, before replying his.
Just then, Liu Zhiyan and Liu Zhirou had arrived. The two of them walked in and greeted the Old Man Liu, then looked at Old Master Lu, not knowing what to call him.
Upon seeing Liu Zhirou, Old Master Lu lost his composure and stood up, muttering to himself, Yu'er .. Yu'er ..
It was just too similar. Seeing her granddaughter was like seeing her daughter when she was young.
Liu Zhimo's eyes were moist, he patted Liu Zhiyan and Liu Zhirou's head, "This is our Grandfather, he is called Grandfather."
Liu Zhiyan and Liu Zhirou called him grandfather at the same time.
Old Master Lu came back to his senses, and nodded his head continuously. His hand trembled as he searched his body, but didn't find anything, hence he put it down awkwardly, "Grandfather came in a rush today, I didn't bring anything for you, next time .. Grandfather will bring it to you next time. " Saying that, he stretched out his hand towards Liu Zhirou, "Rou Rou, can you come to Grandfather's place?"
Liu Zhirou raised her head and looked at Liu Zhimo. Seeing his encouraging nod, she then walked towards Old Master Lu.
