Chapter 499 - 263 Truth_1
Qian Yijin was invited to the guest room of the main courtyard’s east wing and saw his grandfather, Mr. Yu, Grandpa Wan, and his uncle-in-law seated within. His grandfather’s eyes were bloodshot and his spirits seemed low, as if he had just finished crying, while the other three were struggling to suppress their excitement.
Strangely, they were all seated on chairs along the sides of the room, while the two main seats at the Eight Immortals Table beside them were empty. Usually, those two seats were reserved for his grandfather and Mr. Yu or Grandpa Wan.
As Qian Yijin entered, Qian Sanui pointed to the main seat beside the Eight Immortals Table and said, "Jinwa—oh, no, You, please, take the seat." His voice trembled as he spoke, and his tone was heavy with nasal congestion, as if he was on the verge of crying again.
Qian Yijin shook his head, refusing to sit, and asked in confusion, "Grandfather, what’s wrong? That’s where the elders sit."
Seeing this, Wan Erniu said, "Brother Qian, you are the nominal grandfather of the young prince, please take the seat. Once seated, we can discuss important matters."
Wan Dazhong stood up and helped Qian Sangui to the seat on the right side of the Eight Immortals Table, then guided the utterly bewildered Qian Yijin to the left seat. Qian Yijin still refused to sit down. He was baffled; why were these people treating him like this? What did they mean by ’young prince’...
Wan Dazhong reverently said, "Please take a seat. Once you are seated, my father and father-in-law will solve your quandary."
Qian Yijin had no choice but to sit down.
Wan Erniu was the most suitable person to recount this matter.
