ng some simple rice balls to put in the space. Soon after, electricity, water, and gas would be cut off, eating cooked food would be a luxury.The siblings, sharing Wu Lianyi's sentiment, cooked the ri..."Thank you, Mother, for considering me. These years at Su Nu Gong, I have truly lived freely. Watching Lian Ri grow little by little, I can also understand Mother's feelings when she raised us sisters."

Wang Zhenzhen leaned against Wu's shoulder and said with a smile.

"You raised ripples like a daughter."

"My daughter and I are no different. She was born with a talent for martial arts. Under the personal tutelage of Master Su, despite her young age, her skills surpass even mine. On the rivers and lakes, she is unmatched."

When it came to talking about ripples, Wang Zhenzhen became much more talkative. She had been involved in Ripples' growth every step of the way and described everything in detail, giving her mother a general understanding of her granddaughter.

"One listen and you just know she's a good kid. This time, thanks to her, otherwise Yaizu wouldn't have made it back."

Mrs. Wu let out a sigh.

"She has to explain her identity to Yaohui and Yaozu."

Of course, once you've met your father, tell them about Lian Yi's identity. After all, she is the Wang family's granddaughter by marriage, there's nothing to be ashamed of.

After hearing this, Wang Zhenzhen nodded in agreement and then asked:

"But does the mother resent her father"

"As the head of the household, he has his own difficulties. I never had much affection for him anyway. I thought we could just get along civilly, but because of the issue of heirs, many resentments arose. Now this is actually quite good."

Mrs. Wu is a broad-minded woman. Now, besides her daughter and granddaughter, nothing else matters to her.

"You brought ripples back at this time, but is there something the matter"

"Someone forced me to show up, plus knowing that my father's health had deteriorated, I came back specifically."

Then Wang Zhenzhen told the legends about treasure circulating in the Jianghu, as well as their experiences along the way.

After looking at the treasure map, Ripples said it was fake.

Wang Zhenzhen answered with great certainty.

"Your share of the property has always been in my hands. I've taken good care of it and it has doubled in value now. As for your sister's, I gave it to her when she got married. How she dealt with it, I have no idea."

After hearing about your sister's unfortunate demise, I also sent people to investigate. However, all the properties have already been sold. It's unclear whether your sister made the decision to sell them or if something else happened.

And these people who bought the real estate came from different backgrounds, obviously not from the same place. I only know that the people who bought your sister's share of assets back then all paid in silver.

Mrs. Wu frowned and said.

"In that case, it makes sense. I think the younger sister sensed something was going to happen, so she liquidated her assets and put them somewhere unknown. The person who handled this definitely knows, but they probably don't know the exact location where the younger sister hid the money, which is why there are these rumors."

Both I and Lian Yi suspect it was Princess Xiangyi who did it. After all, it was she who killed her sister back then.

Wang Zhenshen gritted her teeth and said.

"In the end, it was Xu Fengze who really caused harm. If he had handled the issue with the princess well, things wouldn't have escalated to affect Yingying and their children later on. They were twins, but now only one is alive!"

Mrs. Wu began to wipe away her tears again.

"Mother, perhaps another one is alive."

What does that mean

"The other one is a boy, he must have been taken away by Xiangyi."

"How did you know Did you see the child"

Without wiping away her tears, Wu immediately asked.

"I saw a man about the same age as Ripples, with a face that looked like it was carved from the same mold as Xu Fengze. And Ripples said that the people who followed him were skilled in combat and all came from the Royal Shadow Guards."

Have you guys met each other

"No, I don't know what kind of person this child is. We didn't rashly recognize each other and we didn't know how Xiangyi arranged his identity, so we traveled together all the way back to Longxi and parted ways at the city gate."

I reckon that child has become suspicious and sent someone to follow us secretly. They probably already know we've entered the Wang family's residence, and they'll soon find out our identities.

"Then, invite him over as a guest and thank them for their support all along. I'd like to meet him personally."

Mrs. Wu didn't want to delay. What if the person left, and they never saw each other again

"This excuse is not appropriate."

Wang Zhenzhen smiled and said.

Why

Your granddaughter is so capable, these people simply lack the ability to support us.

"It's fine if you guys aren't being bullied; it's just an excuse anyway."

"That's what mother said."

Wang Zhenzhen smiled and agreed with her lips.

The next day, Wang Zhenzhen took Lianyi to visit her father with Wu.

As a group of people approached the bedroom of Wang's former head, they opened the door and were met with a strong scent of traditional Chinese medicine. Inside, Wang Yaizu was feeding his father medicine.

Upon seeing his mother and elder sister, Wang Yaizu immediately stood up and bowed. Meanwhile, Wang Kun, who was reclining on a pillow, heard the sound and opened his eyes wide, trying his best to improve his condition. He looked towards Wang Zhenzhen by the bed. Seeing his eldest daughter's familiar appearance, he finally spoke:

"Well done, Zhenzhen!"

"Yes, Father. My daughter has been unfilial and only now returns home!"

Wang Zhenzhen didn't feel overly excited upon seeing her father. After all, during her sixteen years living in the Wang family estate, she had only seen him a handful of times. In her memory, her father, as the head of the household, was always busy with endless affairs and unfinishable business. His presence on their birthdays was already considered a great blessing.

"As a father, I have failed you. I wasn't able to protect you and your sisters, which led to all of you leaving home at such a young age and living away for so many years."

Wang Kun is filled with regret. Initially, his desire for a son overwhelmed him, giving Su Ling an opportunity to exploit the situation. Everything stems from him. If he hadn't harbored that wish, if he hadn't been swayed by the elders, and if he hadn't chilled his wife's heart, choosing to stay with his two daughters, perhaps there would have been a different outcome.

"Father, this isn't your fault. It's Zhenzhen's own choice. Besides, these past years, I've lived freely abroad and even found my niece's daughter. Today, I brought her to see you."

Wang Zhenzhen finished speaking and stepped aside, letting Lian Ri step forward to greet her grandfather.

"Grandniece Su Lianyi greets her maternal grandfather."

The ripples were not overly sentimental; she went forward and bowed, but halfway through the bow, Wang Kun stopped her.

Wang Yaizu's mouth gaped open once again, unable to close for a long time. The shock was too great; the Ripple Girl Hero turned out to be his niece!

Ripple had no intention of fighting, so when the other party helped her up, she slowly straightened herself, glanced at Wang Kun, then frowned and took the other person's pulse, saying with a smile:

"Grandfather, Lianyi grew up in Suren Palace since she was little. Besides martial arts, she also learned some basic medicine. Let me take a look for you."

Wang Kun was looking at the ripples, through them he seemed to see his youngest daughter Yingying. His granddaughter's eyes, nose, and features were just like his daughter's, but even more delicate. Because he was looking so intently, he didn't notice that his granddaughter was feeling his pulse.

"Huh"

"What's wrong"

"My grandfather was poisoned!"

"What Poisoned"

Several voices spoke in unison, including Wang Yaohui who had just stepped into the room.y closer, cough cough, don't spread your illness to the Empress and Nannan, cough cough, you shouldn't come here recently either.""When Rong Shijun tried to speak, he coughed twice. It seems he's real...
