Family Affairs

ut a slow sigh: "Your stubbornness deep down always makes me want to get angry."Between the bed hangings I wasn't much afraid of him, except at first when I didn't understand why he was so fierce, thi...I was taken aback and walked closer, opening my phone to see a large, antique-looking object covered in green rust. It couldn't be... it just couldn't be...

I turned back to look at my grandfather and asked, “How did you get this If it’s real, then it's been around for far too long!”

"It's been a very long time... I've searched through all the official and unofficial histories, but haven't found a single word about it... But it can be confirmed that this thing is an unprecedented treasure, and the higher-ups have never stopped their secret search for these things."

Grandpa sighed and said, “Back during the chaos of war, the ancestors' tombs were treasure troves. People back then never thought of them as history, as national treasures. They only saw bullets, cannons, oceans, and opium inside.”

"This thing was snatched from someone, and I killed a few people in the process. If I hadn't acted, it would have been shipped overseas by now, being paraded around as a national treasure by the Japanese."

"In times of peace, how can we properly handle this hot potato I've been thinking about it these past few days."

Hearing my grandfather talk about it so seriously, I discreetly rubbed my fingers together—I really wanted to touch it, but without gloves, I figured it was best not to risk damaging it. That would be a national crime, wouldn't it Sweat.

"Then we should donate it...the country should be very willing to accept it, right" I asked.

“This is natural, but I'm worried that if someone in a position of power seeks revenge later, or tries to silence us, then our family will be left with nothing.” Grandfather frowned and said, “I’m getting old, and it’s possible I could die at any moment. These debts I’ve incurred, they will fall on you and Yun Fan.”

"Although Yun Fan is shrewd, clear-minded, and somewhat cunning and mischievous, making it difficult for him to be taken advantage of, he is after all just a child."

Child

My brother is also twenty-four... Kids

"Grandpa, my brother is almost a dad, why are you still treating him like a child" I said with a pout.

The old man was taken aback and exclaimed, "What Really Didn't this little rascal say he wouldn't get married He even said something about having a child through IVF if he wanted one, which made my liver ache!"

Pff...

"Really, he's probably getting ready to get married and have kids. Don't worry about it."

"Which family's daughter is she" The old master asked, a touch of urgency in his voice. This old man, who had been heartless and estranged from his relatives in his youth, now, in his twilight years, found himself surprisingly sentimental.

Many things that we didn't care about when we were young, maybe years later, will become important when we think back

"You've met, come to our house before, the last time Miss Lin, Lin Yanqin."

The old master narrowed his eyes, repeating the name: "Lin Yanqin What kind of person is she"

“That’s great, she comes from a good family and has a high EQ. She’s also very attentive to my brother. My brother, just like you, is powerless against such a well-educated and intelligent young lady with a high EQ... Actually, he tried to resist, but… pff… it's complicated.”

I sat beside my grandfather, smiling, and chatted with him about our lives.

The ominous aura and dark energy surrounding the old man gradually dissipated, and finally, he smiled slightly and nodded: "Since that's the case... you can give these things to Yunfan as a betrothal gift."

Well...

"That... Grandpa, wouldn't this thing come from a tomb... Is this used as a dowry"

That's a bad omen!

The old man chuckled and said, “Mu family, Mu family, are you afraid of things in the tomb Rest assured, this was a treasure I traded for decades ago on the border. It's not something contaminated with negative energy.”

The grandfather placed these items before me.

I took out the recovered mahogany box from my bag and said to Grandpa, "You don't have to worry about these antiques that won't leak out. I can put all this here, where ordinary people can't see it."

"What is this" asked the grandfather.

Jiang Qiyun gave me a box made of peachwood from Dushuo Mountain. It can ward off evil spirits, and the space inside is very large. It can even connect to the underworld. If those things that cannot appear in the world truly cannot be washed white, then let them fall silent here.

This basement is filled with hundreds, if not thousands, of items. I've packed a portion of the "high-risk" ones first. I plan to test the waters with Lin Yanhuan and see if he can help me communicate with his father.

After his father takes the stage, we'll find an opportunity to secretly donate the items. That way, the authorities can try to clean up the mess, and our family can get rid of this hot potato and just be "honest businessmen."

Well, merchant.

"Grandpa, I brought two children back with me. I'll call Jiang Qiyun over later, and you can take Grandma to see the children."

Upon hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "You brought back both children!"

"Hmm..."

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" He immediately picked up his cane and hurried out.

All the way, she kept muttering: "Oh my little darlings, how much you've grown! I haven't seen you in so long, I bet you've all changed..."

This tone, it's exactly the same as my dad and brother! No wonder they're family.

I returned to the courtyard. Auntie Zhang was trembling at the gate. When she saw me, she plopped down and knelt: "Miss, I'm... I'm so scared of that divine being inside. The hot water is ready, but I dare not go in. You..."

"Alright, I'll take it in. You go rest now." I reassured her.

Aunt Zhang ran away quickly. I went inside and saw Jiang Qiyun lying on the bed with his head propped up, two little babies sleeping soundly in front of him.

I didn't expect that even the Emperor would be quite reliable when it came to children.

"Done" he glanced at me with a raised eyebrow.

I nodded and leaned closer, whispering, “Grandpa and Grandma want to see the child, but Grandma is very afraid of you. What should we do”

Jiang Qiyun frowned: "What do you mean Are you asking me to step aside"

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's just... Would you accompany me to the corridor to take a look at the snow Let grandma come in and have a look." I coaxed him clumsily.

Jiang Qiyun let out a mocking laugh: "Look at the snow"

I pleaded with him, and he rose to his feet and said, “They can come to see the child, but someone must stay in the house to watch them.”

He pinched a spell in his sleeve, and a few wisps of blue smoke emerged from the corner of the room. It was a maidservant from the Yinjing Tiangong who bowed to me: "Greetings, Young Mistress."

Then they poured hot water and took diapers, skillfully changing the diapers of the two sleeping babies.

Then two stood guard by the gate, and two by the bed.

I widened my eyes.

Jiang Qiyun said in a low voice, "Didn't you say that these maidservants don't know how to take care of children I had the Yin-dispatches bring down a lot of baby supplies from the mortal realm for them to practice with."

I stared at him speechless, diapers and baby supplies!

Everyone in the world uses banknotes from Heavenly Bank, are you asking people to use diapers! This brand is pretty expensive!

What kind of expression is that ghost carrying this pile of diapers!made it clear to Mrs. Lin that he wouldn't do anything that would harm their family relationship." I quickly explained, stressing that my brother wasn't being rude. He handed Lin Yanqin over to her mo...
