Hidden in the court

Chapter 126 A Family of Loyal Warriors Cannot Beat a Thought

"Cry..."

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled in the courtyard, adding a layer of gold to the scene in the general's mansion. Grandpa Hu only saw his little granddaughter curled up in his arms, her eyes red and tears of grievance rolling in her eyes.

The last time she was like this was many years ago. My granddaughter is just too sensible. She was like this when she disguised herself as a man to join the army. Now she is still like this after returning to her female body and becoming a princess. Nangong Xiao is a good kid. If they were in love like Ji Jun and Luo Lin, it would be fine. But now, seeing that my granddaughter is unwilling, there is nothing to say.

His granddaughter had just been bullied outside, and now she could only shed tears here with her grandfather, seeking a little comfort.

Grandpa Hu felt so distressed when he saw his beloved granddaughter like this, and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his hands, which were full of traces of time.

"Oh, my little ancestor, why are you crying? If you don't want to, just tell grandpa and he will make the decision for you. Just refuse this matter, and even His Majesty can't do anything to you." Grandpa Hu's voice was full of love and concern, and he comforted softly.

Hu Die had tears in her eyes and her brows were furrowed, but they soon relaxed and she sniffed. She didn't want to make her grandfather worry anymore.

"Ah..." The old man sighed, held Hu Die's hand tightly, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, with grandpa here, no one can bully you. If you don't want to, no one can force you, no one can..."

Mr. Hu's tone gradually became decisive and cold, as if with a hint of anger. He thought to himself that if he endured for a while, he would get angrier and angrier, and if he took a step back, he would lose more. He thought to himself, Nangong Lin, this little bastard, is simply daydreaming and fanciful! It would be fine if he used tricks like marriage and granted marriage on Ji Liancheng and Luo Wei, after all, Ji Liancheng is also a villain who will be driven by interests, but Nangong Lin actually wanted to attack his precious granddaughter. This kid is really getting more and more outrageous.

However, when he looked at his granddaughter again, the anger in his heart instantly turned into endless love and pity. He knew that Hu Die had endured too much unnecessary pressure and hurt over the years, and what she needed now was the support, care and planning for her future.

So the old man stroked her hair gently and comforted her tenderly: "Don't be afraid, everything is over. No one will dare to bully you anymore."

The painting style changed and he said easily:

"Let's not bother with them. How about I tell you your grandmother's story?" As he said that, Grandpa Hu took his granddaughter's hand, leaned back in the chair, his eyes gradually lost in memories.

"Thinking back to the time when I had just started the rebellion with the late emperor, we were both just soldiers. I was better at fighting than he was, but I didn't have his brains. Your grandmother was a great beauty, a lady from a wealthy family. When the late emperor and I started to fight, it was your grandmother's family who sponsored us.

There were so many people chasing after her! But she chose your grandfather, me. Your grandfather is also a famous handsome man in the surrounding area, haha...

His family didn't agree. Do you know why? At that time, your grandfather was the most fierce in every battle. No one knew if I could come back alive next time. I was the same at that time. All I thought about was making achievements and getting promoted to be worthy of your grandmother.

But it doesn't matter if they disagree, your grandma is willing. Besides, we don't have legs, we can run by ourselves.

During that time, when I wasn't fighting, I would climb over the wall every day. Your grandmother would also climb over the wall, and no one could stop her. This is why I like that kid Ji Mingshang, he is so similar to me.

Finally, my father-in-law couldn't bear it anymore. He could only put on a bitter face, hold his head and said, "Go, let them be..."

Before the country was unified, your grandmother and I got married. We were so anxious that we put a wedding sign outside the military tent and found two big red candles. That was it. Later, our army of several thousand people was beaten and fled everywhere. Your grandmother gave birth to your father in a carriage, and then the second and third children...

We have experienced countless life and death trials together, and our feelings have grown deeper and deeper. Later, we fought to the capital, the late emperor ascended the throne, and made me a marquis. Your grandmother and I finally got married and held a wedding ceremony. At that time, your father had not even married yet. "

Grandpa Hu was immersed in memories, with a happy smile on his face: "Your grandmother was a very special woman, smart, brave and thoughtful. Not only did she manage the house in an orderly manner, she also often gave me advice and reminded me. Sometimes, I feel that half of the credit for my current situation should go to her. It's a pity that she left early and didn't see your father get married, nor did she see you..."

At this point, Mr. Hu's voice was a little choked.

It's also quite magical. At first, it was the grandfather who comforted his granddaughter. At this point, Hu Die's tears dried up and she turned to comfort her grandfather.

"Grandpa, don't be sad. Grandma would definitely want you to be happy if she were still alive." Hu Die comforted him.

Mr. Hu wiped the tears from his eyes and smiled: "Yes, I still have you to accompany me. By the way, do you know? In fact, your grandmother has always wanted a daughter, but unfortunately she didn't have that blessing, so she didn't get her wish. But you really look a bit like your grandmother, and your grandmother must want to see you happy."

Following her grandfather's magnetic voice, Hu Die gradually immersed herself in the world of stories, and her aggrieved feelings were slowly soothed.

"So, even though we are all alone now, as long as your grandfather is here, no one can force you! You don't have to worry too much. Grandpa owes you a lot over the years. From now on, you can live the way you want."

When Hu Die heard this, her heart warmed and she felt confident.

"Let's go and see your parents, uncle and grandma with grandpa."

"Ah."

In the setting sun, the figures of the old and the young walked towards the ancestral grave, appearing exceptionally peaceful and harmonious.

They walked briskly through the downtown area toward the family cemetery. As they walked, the sunlight pierced Mr. Hu's eyes, and tears flashed.

After arriving at the cemetery, Mr. Hu first gently removed the weeds on the grave and placed fruits on it. There was an imperceptible solemnity in his movements, and he was muttering something softly.

Hu Die also followed her grandfather's example and helped carefully. Then, Grandpa Hu took out the incense stick, inserted three incense sticks on each grave, and bowed...

Hu Die followed behind him, kowtowed to everyone politely, grandma, parents, second uncle, third uncle...
