Chapter 1893 - 341

Li Zhiyuan never expected that the first question this woman asked upon waking up after escaping death was this.

The young man walked out of the room, Granny Yao was waiting at the end of the corridor, and Li Zhiyuan went over.

"Please, young master."

Granny Yao made a gesture of invitation towards his side.

Li Zhiyuan walked in, inside was just a table, with two cold dishes, three hot dishes, plus a winter melon soup, accompanied by a set of tableware.

In such haste, it was impossible to prepare a feast, it was all home-style dishes, very clean, and deliberately plated.

Granny Yao did not enter, she just left directly.

The meaning of this was to let the young man eat alone.

Li Zhiyuan had mentioned earlier that he would feel uncomfortable if things were too formal, but Granny Yao could not imagine herself accompanying the young master with her whole family for a meal, she could not act informally according to the young master's request.

In this case, it seemed to be the method that wasn't really a method.

Granny Yao's family dined in another room, while Li Zhiyuan could hear Granny Yao's two grandsons asking why they had to change places for eating today, Granny Yao did not respond, she just kept reminding her two grandsons about things they needed to pay attention to later.

Yao Nianen just concentrated on gobbling down his meal.

His wife couldn't help but ask if the young man had an impressive background.

Yao Nianen reached out to poke his wife.

His wife retorted, asking why he poked her.

Granny Yao said, "Since you joined us, although I haven't given you a life of lavish wealth, I haven't really let you labor hard either, and certainly, I haven't let you endure the pressure of money."

She stopped halfway through her words, there was no need to say more, his wife lowered her head obediently to eat.

The money for her younger brother's education and job hunting bribes, including her parents' medical expenses, were all proactively offered by grandma, as long as grandma had a stern face in this house, she truly had no courage to meet her gaze.

But Granny Yao knew, in her past life it was because of the young mistress, her son could live healthily until now and could give her two grandsons, also thanks to the young mistress.

While Li Zhiyuan was still eating, outside, Granny Yao was already waiting with her two grandsons in the corridor.

The two grandsons hadn't eaten enough before they were taken off the table by grandma, but their parents were always obedient in front of grandma, so these two boys didn't dare to grumble.

Li Zhiyuan disliked such formalities, but the elderly wished to express their gratitude through this way, and wanted to reminisce too, if he didn't cooperate, it would cause the elderly to feel immense regret.

The young man finished his meal and slightly forcefully placed down his chopsticks.

Granny Yao heard the sound and walked slowly to the door:

"Young master, shall I bring my two little ones to kowtow to you?"

"Let's officially meet."

The two grandsons were waved in.

Granny Yao's hands were pressing on the back of their necks, signaling them to kneel and pay respect, before their bodies went down, Li Zhiyuan proactively left his seat, walked to them, and asked which grade they were in, and how their final exam scores were.

This prevented Granny Yao from having the children kneel anymore.

The two children were not timid, mainly because Li Zhiyuan wasn't much older than them, they responded with laughter.

Li Zhiyuan: "Study well."

Granny Yao: "These two boys are quite mischievous, but when it comes to studying, their parents really don't need to worry."

Speaking about this, Granny Yao couldn't help but smile.

The family lives harmoniously, the younger generation progresses smoothly in their studies, the two children are two years apart but one grade apart, they are both class leaders in their respective classes.

After formally meeting, one must give a meeting gift.

But Li Zhiyuan found himself in an awkward situation here, he wasn't like Liu Yumei who could casually take off a jade ring and give it away.

He did have many pendants on him, but they were mostly ominous objects, he had to suppress them, they were not suitable for gifts.

Hence, earlier he had deliberately opened a conversation to lay the groundwork.

Li Zhiyuan: "How about this, from now on, every season I'll have someone send a set of educational materials, personally compiled by me, called 'Chasing Faraway Secret Scroll'."

The two grandsons: "..."

Granny Yao: "Hurry up and thank the young master."

The two grandsons felt quite awkward, their smiles faded as they muttered internally:

What kind of place is this, where meeting someone results in educational materials as a gift?

"Thank you, young master."

"Thank you, young master."

Granny Yao: "Off you go now."

The two grandsons upon hearing this, immediately turned and left the room, afraid that staying any longer would result in more gifts.

Li Zhiyuan sat down at the table, motioned for Granny Yao to sit too, Granny Yao replied and sat on the edge of a chair very cautiously across him.

"Really, thank you, young master."

"Apologize to the children for me, it's just that I wasn't prepared with anything at hand."

"No, Grandma has told me, young master, you are Wenquxing reincarnated, a top scholar indeed, what you send carries literary aura, it's the kids who don't understand."

Grandma Liu, really told you everything.

Li Zhiyuan: "These days, the Jianghu in Luoyang has not been peaceful, for now you and your family should refrain from going out."

Granny Yao: "Yes, I'll give orders regarding that."

According to principle, after Lighting the Lamp and Walking the River, one should no longer be supported and sheltered by the family, otherwise it would lead to backlash.

Therefore, any family with some foundation would complete property separation before family juniors light the lamp, it's akin to splitting the family, sometimes even expulsion from the family, genealogy, sect.

Zhao Yi was arranged by the Zhao family this way before Lighting the Lamp.

And the reason Li Zhiyuan dared bringing Chen Xiyuan here for help, was because Granny Yao had long stopped being part of the Liu family.

She had been torn off the contract and expelled from the Liu family.

Even now, making clothes for Liu Yumei, Liu Yumei would rightfully pay her, and rightfully bestow gifts.
