Chapter 588 - 298 Persuading to Reunite_1
Lady Wu, upon hearing this, was also angry and said, "The audacity of father-in-law to think of such things, at his age and still having those thoughts. He isn’t afraid of being laughed at until his teeth fall out."
Li Shuanzi and Qian Mandua were shocked to hear this, and Qian Mandua blurted out, "Good heavens, my grandpa is already sixty-eight, and he’s still thinking about these things?"
Qian Sangui glared at Lady Wu and said sternly, "Your grandpa is not that disgraceful. He’s just talking, he would never entertain such thoughts."
Old woman Qian shook her head and said, "Not necessarily. Your dad has envied the big landlord and the big village master since he was young. He not only envied them for eating meat and wearing silk every day but also envied them for having a bunch of women. Otherwise, why would he force you to learn martial arts and Qian Siguai to study? He knows he’s not capable of being a lord himself, so he wants you to be successful, so he can be the Old Great-grandpa."
Qian Sangui was amused and comforted her, "Mother, rest assured, Dad wouldn’t think that way. Even if he did, I wouldn’t allow it."
Qian Yixiu stepped into the room just in time to hear these few sentences. Seeing Qian Sangui reluctant to elaborate, she took the opportunity to quietly ask her when Lady Wu went to the side room. Lady Wu poked Qian Yixiu’s forehead, yet she still told her.
Qian Yixiu sighed endlessly. The whole family had come to the Capital City, and Old man Qian was not only the first to adapt to noble life; he even pursued a life of decadence. However, since their family was already looked down upon by the noble circle of the Capital City, they couldn’t let Old man Qian become the butt of a joke again. She quietly spoke to Lady Wu and asked her to remind Grandfather Sangui to properly reprimand Old man Qian when no one else was around. They must not indulge him.
Lady Wu nodded and said, "Exactly, our family is already being gossiped about, we can’t let your grandpa make a fool of himself again."
Old man Qian returned home when it was nearly dark, singing a little tune and handing the birdcage he was holding to a servant. He continued to sing as he entered the house. When he saw everyone looking at him, he stopped singing and asked, "Why are you all staring at me?"
