[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Chapter 256: Grandparents and Grandchildren Showdown

"What are you doing on purpose?" Rong Enqing looked at Yun Ye with complicated eyes and asked the question even though he knew the answer.

"You deliberately let Emperor Taihe take away Baishou Hall and Duiyue Pavilion, didn't you?"

Yun Ye looked serious, without a trace of smile on his face, and his tone was also somewhat cold and stern beyond his age. "You knew that your great-grandfather's treasure was hidden under the Duiyue Pavilion, but you deliberately let Emperor Taihe take away Baishou Hall and Duiyue Pavilion. Why did you do this?"

Rong Enqing suppressed the pain in his heart and asked, "Then why did you hide Yun Hong's affairs from me?"

"These are two different things!" Yun Ye frowned, "Grandma, please don't confuse them. My father's matter and your giving the treasure to Emperor Taihe are two completely different things!"

"Are they really two different things?" Rong Enqing smiled bitterly, "If you had told me earlier that Yun Hong was back, would I have tried desperate measures to summon Emperor Taihe's men back to the palace?

"Don't forget, every step taken by the Marquis' Mansion was decided after I discussed it with you."

"I, I also have my own difficulties. It's not that I don't want to tell grandma, but I haven't figured out how to tell her." Yun Ye felt a little guilty, "Besides, my father didn't allow me to tell grandma about his return."

"Yes, your father asked you to keep it a secret from me, so you said nothing. It would have been fine if you didn't tell me, but you even kept it a secret from your mother!"

Rong Enqing smiled bitterly, "The mother who gave birth to you, raised you, taught you to read and write, and took care of your food, clothing, shelter and transportation for eight years is not as good as the father you have only met once!

"Have you ever thought about how sad your mother would be if she knew?"

Yun Ye turned his head away and didn't look into Rong Enqing's eyes, but a hint of stubbornness could be seen in his expression.

"It's mother's fault! Mother shouldn't have concealed the reason why she married father! If mother didn't have ulterior motives, father wouldn't have faked his death and left home. I wouldn't have not even seen father for so many years."

Hearing this, Rong Enqing was so angry that he laughed. "So, everything is your mother's fault?"

"It's natural."

"A son should not think his mother ugly, nor should he criticize his mother. But you are full of hatred towards your mother right now! If your mother is wrong, then her biggest mistake is giving birth to you!"

Rong En looked at Yun Ye sternly, heartbroken and in a heavy tone, "I don't know what your father said to you, but I know that no matter what your mother did to your father before, she is qualified as your mother! She is impeccable!"

Yun Ye bit his lips tightly, and after a while he seemed to have figured something out. He frowned and said in an irritable tone: "Grandma, we are not talking about my mother. We are talking about the treasure!"

"Treasure? Haha!" Rong Enqing sneered at Yun Ye's attitude of avoiding the question, "Then let's talk about the treasure."

She raised her chin slightly and looked at Yun Ye sharply, "Because you didn't tell me that your father had returned, I misjudged the situation. In order to protect the mansion and you, I asked Gong Ma and Xiu Zhang to come back from the palace. Do you still remember this?"

Yun Ye nodded: "Of course I remember."

"Just remember."

Rong Enqing sneered and continued, "Since you know that Madam Gong and Xiu Zhang are from the palace, why do you still naively think that there will be no secrets in the mansion after they enter the mansion?"

Yun Ye: “…”

"Don't say something stupid like, 'Nanny Gong and Xiu Zhang weren't present when we had our secret conversation. Because if you say that, I'll suspect that you're as stupid as your father."

Rong Enqing smiled and shook his head, "Emperor Taihe already knew about the treasure before we even came to an agreement.

"Not only Emperor Taihe, but Concubine Liang also knew about it. Otherwise, why do you think Yun Ai was forced to enter the palace before?

"Also, you don't think that Emperor Taihe doesn't know that Concubine Liang forced us to send someone into the palace, do you?"

Yun Ye looked grim, and after a long while he stammered, "So, Emperor Taihe knew about the existence of the treasure? He just never found an excuse to take the treasure away from Shun'an Marquis's Mansion?"

"Yes." Rong Enqing confirmed Yun Ye's guess, "Because I am going to secretly execute 'Yun Hao', which is a taboo for Emperor Taihe, so it just gives him an excuse to punish me and the Shun'an Marquisate openly."

"How could this happen?" Yun Ye was stunned, his eyes full of disbelief, "I thought..."

"Oh, do you think I deliberately told Emperor Taihe about the treasure and let him take away Baishou Hall and Duiyue Pavilion?"

Rong Enqing said sarcastically, "As the saying goes, karma will always come true. Instead of suspecting what I did behind your back, you might as well reflect on what you and your son did!"

Yun Ye looked up at Rong Enqing in surprise.

Rong Enqing met Yun Ye's gaze, showed a sarcastic smile, and said in a contemptuous tone: "If you two hadn't kept it a secret from me and poisoned me to test me, how could I have been so angry that I wanted to kill Yun Hao?

"If I hadn't crippled Jiang, imprisoned Yun Hao, and planned to kill Yun Hao, how could Emperor Taihe have used me as leverage to take the treasure-hiding area away from the Marquis' Mansion?

"Haha, in the final analysis, all of this was caused by you and your son!"

Yun Ye's voice was hoarse, with a strong sense of self-blame in his tone: "Is it all my and my father's fault? Shouldn't we have kept it a secret from grandma?"

But in a flash, his eyes became firm again.

He looked at Rong Enqing steadily, "Grandma, you are on my and my father's side, right?"

Rong Enqing was startled, and his expression gradually became subtle.

“Grandmother, you chose to join Emperor Taihe because you didn’t know the truth and because your father didn’t show up, and you were unsure whether he was alive or dead.

"But now, my father is back, and you know all about the grievances and disputes between the Yun family and the Xia family. Will you stand on my and my father's side, and on the Yun family's side?"

Yun Ye stared at Rong Enqing without blinking, as if he wanted to get the most truthful answer from the subtle changes in Rong Enqing's expression.

Faced with such an oppressive Yun Ye, Rong Enqing finally recognized the reality and saw Yun Ye clearly.

Yun Hong was brainwashed by Yun Yi, and Yun Ye was also successfully brainwashed by Yun Hong.

Very good, both father and son are hopeless!

At this moment, Rong Enqing thought of his memories of his previous life for the first time in a long time.

Yun Ye died at the age of twenty in his previous life, perhaps not for any other reason, but because of treason!

Rong Enqing sneered and said in a helpless tone: "Your father is my biological son, and you are my biological grandson. You are both my closest relatives. Do I have any choice?"

Keep Yun Ye and Yun Hong steady, keep the current situation steady, and then wait quietly...

Wait for nothing!

Lian Yunye has been brainwashed by the traitor and turned into a complete traitor. What else can she endure?

She decided that no matter who she loves, she will just be herself!
