The next day, Chu Mo followed his grandfather early in the morning and left the Fan Mansion through the back door in a low-key manner.
The two of them did not even bring any attendants. They rode directly towards the north of the city on two horses.
Chu Mo had rarely come to the north of the city since he was young. Most of the people who lived here were the middle class of Yan Huang City and some minor nobles.
The social circles of Yan Huang City were very distinct. People like Chu Mo would usually not come here.
Therefore, Chu Mo was a little unfamiliar with this place. Now that he was here, he realized that the north of the city was even more bustling than he had imagined.
As for the old man, he seemed to be very familiar with this place.
Chu Mo could not help but ask, "Grandfather, tell me the truth.... Do you come here often?"
The old man's face turned red and he scolded in a low voice, "Nonsense. I'm in the army almost all year round. How could I come here often? I grew up in Yan Huang City and am very familiar with the entire city. I can find any place even with my eyes closed! "
Chu Mo pursed his lips. He felt that his grandfather did not mean what he said.
Perhaps in his grandfather's heart, this girl's figure had long been there. It was just that because of his existence, he did not dare and could not accept this feeling.
For those rich families, old men in their 70s and 80s would not say anything if they took in a 17 or 18 year old concubine. Therefore, the only knot in his grandfather's heart was here!
Chu Mo felt very guilty in his heart.
He looked at his grandfather and said, "Shall we bring her home today?"
"How can we do that!" The old man was a little flustered and said, "That will cause others to gossip!"
"Gossip about what? You are now the March General. Whoever dares to gossip will be caught and beaten to death, "Chu Mo said domineeringly.
"That's enough. You can't even act like a bully." The old man rolled his eyes at Chu Mo and said worriedly, "Even if everyone in Yan Huang City knows that we are not related by blood. But if I really marry a 30-year-old woman and give birth to a Little Uncle for you.... Do you really not mind in your heart? The people outside... will not gossip? "
"Of course I don't mind!" Chu Mo smiled bitterly at Fan Wudi and said, "Grandfather, why don't you look around you? Let's not talk about others. Let's just talk about Grandfather Xu Zhongliang, the current Cabinet Secretary. He should be considered an upright person worthy of respect, right?"
"Of course. Elder Xu has served the country and the people his entire life. He is upright and outspoken. He is naturally worthy of respect," said Fan Wudi.
"But not long ago, after the New Year, he took in a concubine. Although he kept a low profile, this matter … is not unknown. That girl is only a few years older than me … "Chu Mo smiled and said," If Grandpa Xu is really old and strong, and that girl is pregnant again, what do you think Xu Fufu will do? "
"This … Of course … Do what you should …" The old man was dumbfounded. He wanted to refute Chu Mo, but he didn't know how to do so.
"So, you don't have to worry about anything at all. I believe that everyone will give you their blessings when you get married!" Chu Mo said seriously.
"Really?"
"Really!"
Then, Chu Mo followed his grandfather to a quiet courtyard. The courtyard was not luxurious, but it was very elegant. Chu Mo finally got to see the girl who had been chasing after his grandfather for many years.
At first glance, he didn't think she was stunning. He only felt that she was a very gentle and graceful girl. But upon closer inspection, the girl had delicate features and fair skin. She was the type that was very pleasing to the eye.
If he didn't know her identity, Chu Mo would never have thought that she would be in charge of a not so small Chamber of Commerce. She had very tough methods and courage that was comparable to a man's.
When the girl saw Chu Mo, she smiled and blushed. She said softly, "You are Chu Mo, right? Hello, I am Long Qiushui. "
Chu Mo smiled shyly. "Hello, Grandma!"
"This little brat …" Fan Wudi's old face blushed from the side.
Long Qiushui was also at a loss and stood there with a red face.
Actually, the problem with Chu Mo had been bothering her.
If Chu Mo wasn't willing to accept her, then Fan Wudi would probably never accept her.
Ever since Fan Wudi came to see her and told her about Chu Mo's opinion, Long Qiushui, who had been actively pursuing Fan Wudi, was extremely happy but also at a loss.
She was actually quite afraid to see Chu Mo. That feeling was as if she had snatched something that originally belonged to Chu Mo.
So this morning, Long Qiushui had already changed seven or eight sets of clothes. She was also a little confused. She didn't know what to say when she saw Chu Mo.
Fan Wudi had already told her that there was no need to worry at all. Chu Mo was a very smart and sensible child. The window paper between the two of them had been broken by Chu Mo's help …
But deep down, Long Qiushui was still very conflicted.
When Chu Mo called her grandma, Long Qiushui was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do. All the worries in the depths of her heart disappeared instantly!
"Don't … don't call me that … I, I still …" Long Qiushui stammered as she looked at Fan Wudi carefully.
Fan Wudi's heart was filled with a feeling that he had never experienced before. This feeling was something he had never experienced in his fifty years of life.
It was very strange. His heart was filled with happiness.
So Fan Wudi made a rather bold move. He walked forward and held Long Qiushui's hand. He said casually, "He's our grandson! What's wrong with calling me grandma? "
"I haven't married you yet …" Long Qiushui's neck was red. She lowered her head and said softly. But she didn't pull her hand out of Fan Wudi's grasp.
No one knew the despair she felt when she was being hunted. No one knew that the moment she saw Fan Wudi, she fell in love with this somewhat rugged middle-aged man.
This love lasted for ten years!
From a beautiful woman in her late twenties to almost thirty years old, this love had never changed.
Even when Fan Wudi told her very clearly that it was impossible between them!
She had never changed her mind. For a woman, it was too difficult to find a man who could make her feel safe in this life. She didn't want to give up. She had been working hard!
Until today, she finally saw the light.
Tears flowed down Long Qiushui's cheeks.
Fan Wudi stared at her in shock, not knowing what to do.
Chu Mo chuckled and handed his grandfather a clean handkerchief. Then he said, "I still have some matters to attend to. Grandpa, today … bring grandma home! Later, we'll discuss how to hold a grand wedding for Grandpa! "
With that, Chu Mo's figure flashed and disappeared in front of the two of them.
"That little brat … Do I need you to organize my wedding?" Fan Wudi held the handkerchief, his face red as he muttered and scolded. But his eyes were full of joy, and his face was filled with a deep smile of happiness.
"Don't scold him. He's such a good child!" Long Qiushui smiled with tears in her eyes. Her entire body … was emitting an unprecedented light.
That light was also called happiness.
