Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When the two daughters-in-law of the Liang Family saw this, they were envious and jealous.
They were even more glad that Liang Baili did not marry into the Liang Family. Otherwise, they would have been suppressed by their sister-in-law.
Prince Liang and the others also felt a little regretful. If only the Sixth Prince had married Xiao Baili.
But fate couldn’t be forced. Xi Rui was just too lucky.
As he thought about it, Prince Liang couldn’t help but worry about his son who was out at sea.
There was no news for more than two years. He didn’t know if he was alive or dead. He was so anxious.
After drying the dowry, the servants of the Xi Public House carried it to Xi Rui’s courtyard.
After the banquet began, Xiao Yuanshi did not eat. Instead, he suddenly had the urge to meet his grandchildren.
King Yi had brought the two little ones here for a meal, and he had the chance to see them.
After asking around, he heard that the two little ones had gone to the garden to play with the younger generation of the Liang Family, so he asked his personal attendants to avoid the crowd and secretly went to the garden.
The twins were King Yi’s precious babies, so they were naturally protected by others.
Therefore, King Yi knew the moment Xiao Yuanshi appeared in the garden.
He wasn’t afraid of being stolen, but he was afraid of being remembered. If he stopped them this time, Xiao Yuanshi would find a chance to see the twins.
Hence, King Yi ordered his men to protect the little masters and not stop Xiao Yuanshi.
Some wanted Xiao Yuanshi to look at the twins with envy, but also to feel pain because he couldn’t be a grandfather.
The Xi Family’s guards were very good. When Xiao Yuanshi appeared in the garden, Old Master Xi and Prince Xi knew.
Even though Xiao Yuanshi had disguised himself, they knew his identity.
“What is Xiao Yuanshi thinking? I thought he was here to attend my daughter-in-law’s wedding, but who would have thought that he would run to the garden?”
“He probably wants to see the twins,” Old Master Xi said.
“Not to mention Xiao Yuanshi, even I am envious of those clever twins.” He stroked his beard.
The two little fellows were beautiful and lively. The key was that they were smarter and more sensible than children of the same age. In addition, King Yi often showed off his grandchildren, which made them unable to help but envy them.
Prince Xi coughed lightly. “Rui’er’s children will be very smart in the future.” After all, Liang Baili and Liang Hanzheng had the same mother, so their children should not be too different.
Old Master Xi’s eyes lit up when he heard that, and his face was full of hope.
“I’ll also carry my grandchildren out to play every day in the future.”
Prince Xi was speechless. He knew that his father was jealous of King Yi for showing off his grandchildren.
“As long as you’re happy.” His heart was tired.
Then, he remembered the important matter. “Then, should we stop Xiao Yuanshi?”
Old Master Xi shook his head. “There’s no need. King Yi didn’t stop us, so there’s no need for us.”
“Get someone to keep an eye on them secretly. Just don’t let Xiao Yuanshi hurt the two children.”
Prince Xi nodded. “Alright.”
At this moment, Xiao Yuanshi was in a corner of the garden, watching the twins play with children of the same age.
Soon, he realized that his grandchildren were too smart.
In just a short while, they had become the leader of a group of children and had more than ten children listen to them.
Even the five or six-year-old children were all around his grandchildren.
The two little fellows looked very delicate and cute no matter how one looked at them.
Xiao Yuanshi had never been fond of children. Whether it was the three children of the Kong Family or Liu Rusheng’s daughter, he had never taken them to heart.
But now that he saw the two little fellows, he did not know why, but he felt that he liked them very much.
After a while, Xiao Yuanshi asked his personal attendants to buy two gifts for the two little fellows.
After his personal attendant left, he pushed the wheelchair closer to the garden.
However, he did not notice that there was a step in front of him, and the wheelchair overturned.
Although Xiao Yuanshi had martial arts, he was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
Such a huge commotion also startled the children who were playing not far away.
The other children didn’t respond, but Liang Yiran and Liang Yijia ran over.
Their mother had always taught them to respect their elders and love themselves. When they saw an old grandpa fall, they naturally couldn’t ignore him.
Hence, the two of them ran to Xiao Yuanshi and asked politely and concernedly, “Grandpa, are you alright?”
“Go and get someone to help this grandpa.”
Xiao Yuanshi was only in his forties now, but because his life had not been going well these past few years, he looked much older than his actual age.
Xiao Yuanshi was originally a little embarrassed, but after being asked by the two little fellows with concern, that embarrassment disappeared.
He raised his head and gave a loving smile. “Grandfather is fine. I just fell down accidentally. There’s no need to call for help. I can get up by myself.” Liang Yiran didn’t call for help after hearing what he said.
“Grandpa, try it. If you can’t get up, I’ll help you call someone.”
Liang Yijia took the initiative to pat Xiao Yuanshi’s arm. “Grandpa, you can definitely do it. Good luck!”
Mother had said that when others encountered difficulties, she could help and encourage them as much as she could.
They were too young to help the old man, so she would encourage him.
Being encouraged by his granddaughter’s watery eyes, Xiao Yuanshi suddenly felt like his heart was about to melt.
How could there be such a cute child?
In the past, he did not think much of his daughter and sons, but now he felt that this granddaughter was too likable.
His grandson was the same. He looked at him worriedly. If he couldn’t get up, he would help call for help. He was really too sensible.
In order to show off in front of his two grandchildren, he not only helped the wheelchair up, but also sat back in the wheelchair with both hands.
After sitting in a wheelchair for so many years, he had long gotten used to it.
Seeing him sit back down, her two little eyes sparkled as she looked at him.
“Grandpa is so awesome!”
Mother had said to give more affirmation and praise to others.
When Xiao Yuanshi saw the two little ones, his eyes revealed a gentleness that he had never seen before, and his heart softened again.
How could his grandchildren be so cute and sensible? Could it be because they were related by blood?
If the two little ones only knew what he was thinking, they would definitely shake their heads and deny it.
They were good children who liked to help others. They would help anyone who fell.
“Grandpa, are you lost?” Liang Yiran asked. “Do you want someone to take you out?”
“Yes, Grandpa is lost,” said Xiao Yuanshi with a smile.
Then, he had a bold idea, and the smile on his face became even more amiable. “Can I trouble you to send Grandpa out?”
Such obedient and sensible grandchildren were his. He wanted to bring them back to Nanxi County to raise.
He had thought that the two little fellows would definitely agree.
Unexpectedly, both of them shook their heads. “Sorry, we can’t.”
Mother had said that they couldn’t leave with strangers. They might be kidnappers or bad people.
Although this old man looked very kind on the surface, he could also be a bad person.
The two kids shook their heads. “Grandpa, we don’t know you, so we can’t go with you.”
“If you want to go out, I’ll get someone to bring you out,” Liang Yiran said.
When Xiao Yuanshi heard this, he could not help but feel proud and gratified. His grandchildren were really smart. They actually knew not to leave with strangers.
However, the more they behaved like this, the more he wanted to kidnap them. “To thank you, as long as you send me out, I’ll buy you candy or something nice to eat or play with. I’ll buy you anything you want.” “Or I can take you to play something fun, like riding a pony.”
Children couldn’t resist such things..
