Yan Qianqian

Yan Jie pondered for a long time. Bai Yunlan beside him saw this and hurriedly said, "Cousin, Shenyi Gu is so much fun! Especially the back mountain, there are so many cute little animals there! Come back and play with me, I guarantee you'll forget Shu!"

However, Yan Jie was not moved by his words and still hesitated in his heart.

Just then, Bai Yu suddenly interjected, "Jie'er, your maternal grandfather doesn't have much time left. Your mother was my last concern, but I never expected you to miraculously survive.

Your maternal grandfather now only wants, in these last days, to see you more and accompany you more."

Hearing these words, Yan Jie's eyes instantly welled up, tears swirling in his eye sockets. He forced himself not to let the tears fall, his voice slightly choked as he said, "Maternal grandfather, Jie'er is willing to go to Shenyi Gu with you and study medicine hard.

During this period, you should quickly arrange the position of Shenyi Gu's valley master properly. When Jie'er finishes learning and returns to An Wangfu, I can bring you back together. From now on, no matter where I go, I will bring you with me, never separated!"

Bai Yu, hearing this, was overjoyed and hurriedly replied, "Good, good, good! I'll go back and arrange this now, letting Yun Zheng take over the many affairs of Shenyi Gu.

When you return to An Wangfu, I will go with you; if you want to stay at Shenyi Gu for a while, I will accompany you by your side."

Yan Jie suppressed the pain in his heart, trying to make his voice sound calmer, and said, "Alright, maternal grandfather, rest assured, from now on I will definitely take good care of you in your old age and see you through to the end."

Hearing Yan Jie's words, Bai Yu couldn't help but feel a warm current surge in his heart. He was deeply moved, feeling that this grandson was very much like his mother.

Back then, his own daughter was also so filial, but unfortunately, by the age he should have enjoyed family happiness, his daughter was not by his side; instead, his grandson had always accompanied him. But this was also good—with Yan Jie around, his later years wouldn't be too lonely.

The three chatted for a while, and the atmosphere was fairly harmonious.

Night fell, lamps were lit, and after the family finished dinner, Yan Jie still had something on his mind. He hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell this matter to An Wang and An Wangfei. So, he hastily finished dinner and got up to go to An Wangfei's courtyard.

At this time, An Wang had just finished dinner and was leisurely pacing in the courtyard to digest his food. As soon as Yan Jie entered, An Wang's gaze was drawn to him. He smiled and asked, "Jie'er, it's so late, why did you come? Is there something you want to tell your royal father?"

Yan Jie nodded and replied, "Royal father, there is indeed something I want to discuss with you and mother consort."

Seeing this, An Wang was somewhat curious and hurriedly asked, "Oh? What is it? Tell me."

Yan Jie hesitated slightly, then said, "Royal father, let's go inside first, and call mother consort out to say it together; that would be better."

An Wang glanced at Chunxi standing beside him, and Chunxi immediately understood, hurrying toward the inner room. An Wangfei, hearing the news, slowly walked out of the room.

Her gaze fell on Yan Jie standing in the courtyard, and she couldn't help but sigh at how time flies. The current Yan Jie was almost as tall as An Wang, no longer the little cutie in the small basket when he was picked up back then.

A complex emotion surged in An Wangfei's heart—both relief at the child's growth and lamentation at the passage of time.

She remembered what Yan Jie looked like when he was first picked up; back then he was so weak that one couldn't help but feel pity. And now, he had grown into a towering man, which made An Wangfei feel immensely proud.

Actually, in the past few days, An Wangfei had already made some preparations in her heart.

After all, Yan Jie's maternal grandfather was advanced in years, and his most beloved youngest daughter had passed away early; for an old man, the pain of a white-haired person sending off a black-haired one was undoubtedly immense.

So, his doting on his grandson was understandable, and wanting to keep Yan Jie by his side was only human nature.

However, just as An Wangfei was lost in random thoughts, Yan Jie's "mother consort" interrupted her train of thought. An Wangfei came back to herself, looked at Yan Jie, and smiled, asking, "Jie'er, what's wrong? Is there something?"

Yan Jie hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yes, mother consort. It's like this; my maternal grandfather talked to me today."

Hearing this, both An Wang and An Wangfei's hearts skipped a beat. They exchanged glances and both saw a hint of worry in each other's eyes.

Although they had long known this day would come sooner or later, truly facing it was still hard to accept.

Yan Jie took a deep breath, composed himself, and continued, "Maternal grandfather hopes I can return to Shenyi Gu with him, and I also think the resources there are more beneficial for my study of medicine."

Hearing this, An Wang and his wife's hearts sank, as if a basin of ice water had been poured from head to toe. They exchanged glances and both saw disappointment and worry in each other's eyes.

Yan Jie dared not delay in the slightest and hurriedly continued, "However, maternal grandfather also said that with my talent and ability, as long as I study hard, I can master all medical skills in three or four months.

By then, maternal grandfather will pass the position of Shenyi Gu's valley master to Eldest Brother Bai, and he himself will come with me to An Wangfu to enjoy his later years. Royal father, mother consort, rest assured, my maternal grandfather will definitely not eat and live for free; all his expenses..."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Jie was suddenly interrupted by An Wangfei. An Wangfei said anxiously, "Jie'er, what are you saying! An Wangfu is so big; can it not even accommodate one meal for your maternal grandfather? He can stay as long as he wants. Mother consort thought you were leaving with your maternal grandfather and would never return, truly scaring mother consort to death!"

An Wangfei grew more and more agitated, her voice somewhat choked, her eye sockets gradually turning red, tears swirling in her eyes, as if they might fall at any moment.

Seeing An Wangfei so sad, Yan Jie's heart felt as if struck by a heavy hammer; he could no longer suppress his emotions, his eye sockets instantly moistened, and a strong sense of sourness surged to the tip of his nose.

He quickly stepped forward and tightly embraced An Wangfei, as if afraid she would suddenly disappear.

Yan Jie's voice trembled slightly as he said, "Mother consort, the kindness you and royal father have shown me, I keep deeply in my heart. You are my closest parents; I am truly very fortunate to have parents like you who treat me as your own.

Now, although I have found my blood relatives, this will not change my feelings for you; I am always your son."

Yan Jie paused slightly, then continued, "From now on, I will spend some time at An Wangfu and some time at Shenyi Gu; that way I can accompany you and also get along with my birth parents. I will not leave you, mother consort; please rest assured."
