"That explains a lot." A lady who was close to Mrs. Tang said, "Mrs. Tang is not in good health, and Tang Mengying is just being filial and does not want to disappoint her."
Tang Mengying lowered her head guiltily, turned around, and bowed sincerely. "Sorry, I did not explain in time. It was not on purpose. I was going to explain to you later. I did not expect Su Qianci to be so serious …"
"That's right. How petty of you to hold on to such a small matter!" Mrs. Tang said, "The Su family did not teach you well either. She is just an illegitimate daughter of the Su family. I really do not know what Captain Li is thinking."
In her opinion, Tang Mengying should be the one to marry into the Li family.
Mrs. Li did not look too happy. After all, Tang Mengying was her daughter-in-law. No matter how much she disliked Tang Mengying, she was still humiliated.
"What do I think? It seems that my niece-in-law really wants to know," an old voice chimed in, full of energy.
Everyone was shocked and turned their heads to take a look.
"Captain Li."
"Captain Li."
"Dad …"
…
The person who came in was an old man who had already entered his sixties. However, he was still strong despite his age. His back was straight, and his every movement revealed the heroic bearing of a frontier soldier.
This was one of the people that Su Qianci respected the most, the leader of the Li family and the person with the highest status in the family, Captain Li.
Seeing the old man, Su Qianci couldn't help straightening her back, which was the result of years of habit.
She did not know that in Li Sicheng's eyes, her habitual movement made his already deep eyes even darker.
Hearing the voice of Captain Li, Mrs. Tang's chubby face paled, and then she quickly explained, "No, Captain Li, I just said it casually. Don't take it to heart. How would I know what you think?"
Su Qianci sneered inwardly.
When he was facing her just now, he was so arrogant that his tail was about to stick up, but when he was facing his grandfather, he was so timid. The difference was really not a little big!
"With just a few casual words, you're able to criticize the granddaughter-in-law that I personally selected. If I didn't know better, I would have thought that you came to my Li family to declare war on me, Li Xun." His voice was neither soft nor heavy, but it was full of authority.
Mrs. Tang was startled by such a compliment. When she was about to explain, she was stopped by a pair of hands.
Tang Mengying held her mother's hand and looked at Captain Li. "Grandpa Li, long time no see."
Captain Li glanced at her and nodded. His eyes fell on Su Qianci, and a happy smile appeared on his old face. He waved at her and said, "Qianqian, come to grandpa."
Qianqian …
She had not heard such a term of endearment for a long time. Since she was framed as an arsonist by Tang Mengying, grandpa had not called her that.
At the very least … it should have been two years!
Su Qianci's eyes were slightly wet. She stepped forward and stood beside him, calling, "Grandpa."
"Good girl." Captain Li smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face were all folded. He was so kind that it was hard to associate him with the old captain. "Did you sleep well? Are you used to living in the old house? "
