Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 176 Du Qianyuan

But soon, Ye Wen, who was open-minded, figured something out.

Something will occur if it belongs to your life, if not, do not push it.

If you can't even grasp the inheritance of the gods given to you, then it is God's will and it is useless to force it.

The guests walked into the garden one after another. Two white-haired old men among them looked around the garden and walked hand in hand to the secluded corner where Lin Rong was.

Lin Rong sensed the presence of the newcomers early in the morning. At this moment, he turned his head to look in the direction where the two white-haired old men were coming from, and greeted them with a smile:
"Grandpa, Mr. Zhi."

The identities of the two white-haired old men were revealed with Lin Rong's greetings.

One is Du Qianyuan, the head of the hereditary marquis Du family, who is also Lin Rong's grandfather by blood relationship; the other is Zhi Ming, the head of the hereditary duke Zhi family, who has a very deep connection with the Lin family.

Du Qianyuan listened to his grandson's greetings, with a gentle smile on his old face, and said cheerfully:

"Rong'er, although you have inherited the hereditary title of the Lin family, the Du family is also your home."

"But you only came back for my birthday, and you didn't come back to spend more time with an old man like me."

"It's because we have to meet each other in this kind of occasion."

As he spoke, Du Qianyuan walked up to Lin Rong and caressed his grandson's round little head lovingly.

Lin Rong listened to his grandfather's complaints, smiled awkwardly, did not say anything, and just let his grandfather stroke his head.

Previously, because of his identity as a time traveler, he had always avoided getting to know his deceased grandfather and parents, let alone taking the initiative to look for his grandfather who was still alive.

Only on his grandfather's birthday every year, he could not find a reason not to go, so he had to attend.

"Rong'er, it seems that you already know that Ye Xiaozi likes Yuyin. Oh, that is, your mother's business."

Du Qianyuan sat down next to Lin Rong, turned his head to look at Ye Wenxin who was sitting on his right, and said jokingly:

"Come to think of it, if it weren't for the Ye family's inherited martial spirit, Yuyin might have been with you. After all, Yuyin hadn't met Rong'er's father at that time."

"Old Du, it's hard to say." Zhiming sat down next to Du Qianyuan and interrupted:

"If the Ye family didn't have the restriction of inheriting martial spirits, Marquis Ye wouldn't necessarily be the Marquis Ye he is now, right?"

"That's true!" The two old men looked at each other and smiled.

Then, Du Qianyuan led the topic to the part that Lin Rong least wanted to hear.

"Rong'er, the young master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is only a month older than you in terms of age."

"But now she has someone she likes and is engaged. Shouldn't you also consider this aspect?"

This is what the older generation likes to say most to the single younger generations - urging them to get married.

It was like this in the previous life, and it is even more so in this life. Moreover, because people here mature early, the age of marriage is generally earlier than in the previous life.

Lin Rong didn't want to go look for his grandfather, partly because of this reason. He didn't want to be forced into marriage.

"Grandpa, my grandson has his own plans. You don't have to worry about him." Lin Rong replied, intending to end the topic directly.

"From what Rong'er said, could it be that you already have someone you like?" Du Qianyuan guessed while stroking his beard, and turned to look at the old housekeeper behind Lin Rong and asked:
"Old Yu, Rong'er was raised by you since she was a child. Tell me, does Rong'er have a lover?"

Faced with this question, the old housekeeper did not answer, but just smiled and shook his head. "Okay, grandpa." Lin Rong threw himself into grandpa's arms, and pulled the tuft of snow-white beard under grandpa's chin with both hands to express his dissatisfaction.

"This is my own business. I have my own plans."

"Instead of urging me here, you might as well urge my cousins. They are much older than me and are still single!"

"Okay, okay, grandpa gets it. Grandson, you let go first, let go." Du Qianyuan said in pain.

Although he had met his grandson only a few times, he felt very comfortable with him. He had been like this since he was a child and was not afraid of strangers at all.

Unlike his grandchildren, who, ever since they grew up to understand things, have been afraid of his majesty and have become a little reserved when they are together, not daring to look him in the eye.

Regarding this point, Du Qianyuan believed that it was because his grandson was a hereditary duke and his status was much higher than his own.

Therefore, even after he grew up, he would not be afraid of his hereditary status as a marquis.

As for the fact that he is not afraid of strangers, it may be his nature, or it may be because the old housekeeper takes good care of his grandson.

On the side, Ye Wenxin watched the grandfather and grandson playing and fighting, thinking:
"It seems that the Duke did not tell his grandfather and Marquis Zhi about the plot to seize the Tiandou throne."

"But it is also true. The Du family is the family of the Duke's mother, and the relationship between the Zhi family and the Lin family is even deeper and closer."

"At least in the Duke's generation, the three families are in a relationship of shared prosperity and shared adversity. The Lin family wants to seize the throne, and the two families have no choice but to support them."

"For things like this, the more people know about it, the greater the risk of exposure."

"The Duke probably didn't tell them about this matter in advance in order to reduce the risk of it being exposed."

Ye Wen thought so in his heart, turned his head and looked around the garden, and found that in the entire garden, only their place had no female relatives.

There are four families here: Lin, Ye, Du and Zhi.

There is only Lin Rong in the Lin family.

There were only him and his daughter Ye Lingling in the Ye family. Because his daughter didn't like such occasions, the only one who came was Ye Wenxin.

The Du family and the Zhi family were large and prosperous, but the two old marquises were very old and their wives had passed away long ago. For unknown reasons, they did not bring any younger members of their family to attend.

As a result, their place became the only place in the entire garden without any women.

"Wait, I think I missed it. There's still a place where there are no women." Ye Wenxin stared at a pavilion in the garden, where only two young men were sitting.

"It's the Tang Sect's Sect Master Tang, and his little follower."

Under the pavilion, Tang San sat there with a look of "no strangers allowed" on his face, and dissuaded those guests who wanted to go over to greet him, including those noble ladies who were very interested in him.

Among the guests present, there is no one who is not a person of noble status.

They are usually high and mighty, but they will not put down their status and face to actively get close to Tang San's icy face.

Especially in the royal family's attitude towards Yuexuan's handling of the matter, they all vaguely realized that there had been subtle changes in the relationship between the Tang Sect and the royal family.

Between the royal family and the Tang Clan, they of course chose the former without hesitation.
