With Song Jing's guidance, the taxi stopped at the asphalt road some distance away from Shi's old house.
Because although there is a road ahead, it is already private property.
Song Jing paid and got off the car and walked a short distance to the gate of Shi's old house.
The bodyguard guarding the door knew Song Jing and was a little surprised to see her, "Miss Song, why are you here so late?" He glanced behind him to make sure Master Shi was not following them.
"Is Grandpa asleep?" Song Jing asked as he walked into the old house.
"The old man has gone to bed." The bodyguard had already spoken on the intercom in advance, and soon the old housekeeper rushed over.
The old housekeeper stepped forward and said, "Miss Song."
Song Jing stopped and said, "Grandpa Butler, since grandpa has gone to bed, I will come back tomorrow."
"Miss Song, stay." The old housekeeper smiled, "I came here from the old man's yard. The old man is not asleep yet. I know you are happy to come home, so let me take you there."
"Excuse me, Grandpa Butler." Song Jing thanked him politely and followed the old housekeeper to the house.
The old housekeeper turned to lead the way, doubts flashing in his eyes.
Miss Song's face looks so bad. Is she sick?
Arriving at the courtyard where Mr. Shi lived, Song Jing walked through the courtyard and immediately saw Mr. Shi wearing a military coat, opening the door and walking out.
"Grandpa," Song Jing called obediently.
"Yes." Mr. Shi nodded, "Follow me to the tea room."
Of course it was not convenient for him to let Song Jing enter his bedroom, so he took Song Jing to the tea room on the other side.
"Have you been drinking?" When Song Jing approached, the old man asked again.
"I drank two glasses." Song Jing said he drank two glasses, but he really only drank two glasses. "Does it smell heavy? Then I'll take a shower first."
"No." Mr. Shi turned around and told the old housekeeper, "Go and prepare a cup of hot honey water for Girl Song."
"Yes." The old housekeeper responded.
Mr. Shi pushed open the door of the tea room and went in. Song Jing followed him in and turned around to close the door.
The severe cold outside was instantly blocked out, and the wind and snow couldn't blow in.
"It's very windy and snowy outside, come here and let it freeze." Mr. Shi sat down, fetched some water and started to make a charcoal stove to heat hot water, "Sit down."
Song Jing sat down obediently, lowering his eyes and saying nothing.
"A fight?" Mr. Shi glanced at her.
Song Jing pursed his lips.
"You still broke up?"
Song Jing's eyelashes trembled. It seemed that she was right in deciding to come to the old house of Shi's family to find Mr. Shi. Mr. Shi did know some news.
"grandfather……"
Just as Song Jing was about to speak, the old man raised his hand to stop her, took a letter from a small carved drawer next to the tea table and put it on the table, "Take a look."
Song Jing was confused, took the envelope and opened it, there was a letter inside.
To be exact, there is only one piece of paper, and you can see from the back that there are not many words written on it.
Song Jing recognized it as Shi Yan's handwriting, and she seemed to have a rough idea of what Shi Yan would write.
Song Jing's hand held the letter paper, shook it unintentionally, and then slowly unfolded the letter paper.
There were only two lines of content, and the entire content of the letter could be seen clearly at a glance, but Song Jing read each word for a long time.
[Old man, I have to do something, and the return date is uncertain. 】
[I’ll leave Song Jing to you. She is your granddaughter-in-law. If you can’t protect her, then your past decades will be in vain.]
Shi Yan didn't tell the truth to Mr. Shi. He only said that he was going to do something, but he didn't say that he was going to exchange blood for her and exchange his life for hers.
Shi Yan was leaving a way out for her to prevent Mr. Shi from knowing the true truth, lest Mr. Shi would have a grudge and not help her if something went wrong.
Song Jing gritted his teeth and fixed his gaze on the words "uncertain return date". The vision in front of him gradually began to become blurry. Tears fell onto the letter paper, blurring out the words "granddaughter-in-law".
Shi Yan really arranged all the things that could be arranged for her.
How did you feel when you made these arrangements for the banquet?
Mr. Shi took out a tissue and handed it over. Song Jing took the tissue, wiped his tears and put down the letter.
"Girl Song, you came here at night in the snow and wind to ask me if I know where Shi Yan is, right?"
Song Jing shook his head, his voice a little nasal after crying, "I probably know where he is."
"Is it okay to feast on him then?"
Song Jing didn't know what to say, "Shi Yan is trying to save me."
When the old man paused, the water in the small teapot next to him started to boil. He turned over the teacup and poured two cups of hot water. "Don't drink tea at night. You won't be able to sleep after drinking it."
I can't sleep tonight if I don't drink Song Jing.
"Thank you, grandpa."
Mr. Shi put down the teapot and said, "I won't interfere in the matter between the two of you. You are the person Shi Yan recognizes, and he should save you. I just want to ask one more question, is he still alive?"
Head of Song Dynasty.
Shi Yan is still alive, but she doesn't know how long she can live.
"Okay." The old man took it seriously and didn't ask any more questions.
The old housekeeper knocked on the door and came in with hot honey water and a bowl of noodles.
"Miss Song, I don't know if you have eaten." The old housekeeper put down the tray and smiled, "If you have eaten, just leave the noodles."
"Thank you, Grandpa Butler." Song Jing picked up the chopsticks and lowered his head to eat the noodles.
Mr. Shi waved his hand and said, "Go and rest."
The old housekeeper nodded and went out.
Mr. Shi watched Song Jing eating noodles and knew that she was probably not in the mood to eat at the moment. He just didn't want to waste the old housekeeper's concern, so he finished the noodles.
"Girl Song, you are the grandson-in-law recognized by our Shi family, and this matter will never change. Even if something unexpected happens, you and Shi Yan are not married, and I will recognize you as our grandson-in-law." What Mr. Shi said.
This can be regarded as bringing Song Jing under the protective barrier of the Shi family.
Song Jing's eyes began to sour again. She knew that it was not her personal charm that made Mr. Shi willing to use the power of the Shi family to protect her.
Mr. Shi did this just because of the banquet.
Song Jing finished eating the noodles, put down his chopsticks, and drank the honey water obediently.
"Grandpa, I actually don't know why I have to come here today. I just..." Song Jing pursed his lips, "I just suddenly and subconsciously wanted to come here."
"I heard that Shi Yan grew up here with you when he was little."
"Do you want to know about Shi Yan's past?" Mr. Shi asked.
Song Jing didn't know if she wanted to understand, but her mind was all muddled and her heart was in chaos, and she really wanted to grasp something.
"If you want to know, then I'll tell you." Mr. Shi sighed, feeling a little unhappy when he thought of Shi Yan's childhood, "When Shi Yan was born, he was different from ordinary children. His parents, that is, I
