In the early morning, as soon as Ye Jiuzhou sent his daughter to school, Xie Zhiqiu's call came.
"Jiuzhou, there is an old woman who comes to the group to look for you, saying she is a relative of ours."
"Relatives? I understand. Come over here." Ye Jiuzhou guessed that they should be from the Qu family.
The Qu family has suffered a defeat and cannot remain silent. Whether it is war or peace, they must negotiate.
Ye Jiuzhou came to the guest room and saw an old woman, who must have been seventy years old at least.
And there was no energy fluctuation on his body, so he looked like an ordinary person.
"The Qu family?"
The fight between the two sides was fierce, and he was not too polite.
"Like, so imaginative!"
The old woman did not answer directly, but looked at Ye Jiuzhou's face in trance, as if she had met an old friend.
Ye Jiuzhou was puzzled. This was the first time he saw the person in front of him and he really didn't recognize him.
After a long time, the old woman spoke again: "You are Xiaoran's son, right?"
Xiao Ran?
Qu leisurely.
Most of the people who can be called such kind people are old friends and elders of my mother-in-law.
"Senior, who are you?" Ye Jiuzhou was also much more polite.
"My name is A-Lan. I am your mother's old servant. We came to my maternal home from my master's house together," the old woman said.
Ye Jiuzhou looked at this simple look, not like he was lying, and his attitude was much more polite.
"Grandma Lan, drink water!"
"Haha, young master, you don't have to be so polite, just call me A-Lan," A-Lan said with a kind smile.
There is an order of hierarchy, and although no one has ever regarded her as a human being, she has never forgotten her identity.
It was naturally impossible for Ye Jiuzhou to call him that. After thinking for a moment, he asked.
"Grandma Lan, can you tell me about the head of the Qu family and the maternal family? And whether the things my mother brought out really belong to the current Qu family?"
There are some things he must figure out!
"Okay, I'll tell you everything."
Ye Jiuzhou took a sip of water, gathered his thoughts, and spoke slowly.
"The Qu family is a huge family, its strength is beyond your imagination."
"This master's family has been living in a huge ancient tomb, filled with powerful people. When I came out, I didn't know its location."
"The maternal family is responsible for managing ordinary industries and providing funds for the Qu family."
"Years ago, something happened to my mother's family, and the master's family sent Xiao Ran to suppress it. The Kyushu sword, jade pendant, plum blossom sword manual, and jade bracelet for protection were all brought by the miss from the master's family."
"A mere outsider dares to attack the young master. He is really looking for death!"
When Ah Lan said this, her teeth were itching with hatred and she was very angry.
But soon, loneliness flashed in her eyes, she was just an ordinary person, there was nothing she could do.
"I see!"
After hearing this, Ye Jiuzhou nodded, knowing the cause and effect of the matter.
What the Qu family's wife did was just to steal the relics left by her mother and take them for herself.
What kind of bullshit should be returned, it doesn't belong to them in the first place.
Ye Jiuzhou also fell into deep thought. This was the first time he heard that the Qu family was divided into the main family and the maternal family.
My wife’s family has a half-step heavenly being, so does my master’s family have the existence of a heavenly being?
"Grandma Lan, does the head of the Qu family have a heavenly realm?" he asked out of nowhere.
"Haha, you can only explore this by yourself. The secrets of the heaven-human realm cannot be revealed," A-Lan smiled kindly and said no more.
When Ye Jiuzhou saw this, he no longer forced himself, but said respectfully.
"I was the one who was abrupt!"
Later, when A-Lan saw that Ye Jiuzhou had no problem, he explained his intention.
"I am here this time because Qu Chongtian asked me to come. He wants you to go to your maternal home to negotiate this dispute."
"But I think you don't need to pay attention to it!"
That's someone else's territory. Needless to say, there are all kinds of dangers involved if you go there.
After saying that, A Lan stood up and was about to leave.
"It's time for me to leave. Miss is still waiting for me at Qu's house. I have to go back and guard her."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a bolt of lightning striking Ye Jiuzhou.
My mother? She is still alive!
But back then, he clearly saw his mother's body, so there was no way it was fake.
"Grandma Lan, is my mother at Qu's house?" Ye Jiuzhou asked.
"Yes, the lady's ashes are in her ancestral home. I am her servant and I have to guard her forever."
Every time A-Lan mentions Qu Youran, her eyes suddenly light up as she recalls the little girl who was brought up by her.
She thought about some words and swallowed them back. She really didn't want Ye Jiuzhou to take risks.
Ye Jiuzhou sent A Lan out of the new Xie Group Building, and then dialed Ye Zhen's phone number.
"Are my mother's ashes at Qu's maternal home?"
"yes!"
Ye Zhen spat out a word in pain.
Not even being able to protect the ashes of his most beloved woman was the most uncomfortable thing in his life.
"Then what is in my mother's tomb?" Ye Jiuzhou asked one more question.
"Cenotaph!"
Ye Zhen answered simply and then added.
"Jiuzhou, you must not go to Qu's house, you will die."
He knows his son better than his father. He keeps hiding his son because he doesn't want him to be in danger.
"Dad, please stop trying to persuade me. I will definitely bring my mother's ashes back. You can take care of yourself," Ye Jiuzhou said before hanging up the phone.
Later, Ye Zhen called him but didn't answer. He had already decided to leave.
Ye Jiuzhou was thinking in his heart, what kind of shitty Qu family should the ashes be placed, and his mother was not familiar with them.
"Jiuzhou, I will go with you to get my mother-in-law's ashes back."
At some point, Xie Zhiqiu was standing behind him.
