Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

This matter didn’t require a direct report; it only needed an official document sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and they would handle the process accordingly.

...

May 8th.

Yu Qingyi returned to Chongshan Pass.

When she went to the Capital City, it took them more than half a month on the road, but on the way back, she only took six days, clearly eager to return.

Inside the Marquis Mansion, Yang Zhenshan sat in the hall chuckling as Lin Zhan kowtowed to him.

”Haha, I never saw you cry when you were a child, but now that you’ve established a family, you started shedding tears!” Yang Zhenshan laughed loudly.

Lin Zhan cried, his tears somewhat heart-wrenching.

”It’s because your disciple’s temperament isn’t stable enough!” Lin Zhan said somewhat shamefully as he wiped the tears from his face.

”Haha~~” Yang Zhenshan smiled, then sighed slightly, ”Ah, you’ve now got what you wished for, it’s time to return to your father and give him the good news!”

Only Lin Zhan knew his own hardships.

Having lost his parents at a young age and always lived under someone else’s roof,

Although everyone in the Yang family treated him well, and he had long considered the Yang family his own, living under someone else’s roof was still living under someone else’s roof.

He wasn’t crying because he was uncomfortable, but because he was happy to fulfill his father’s last wish and grateful to Yang Zhenshan.

Before he saw Yang Zhenshan, he could hold back, but seeing Yang Zhenshan, he could no longer contain the excitement in his heart.

During the days returning to Chongshan Pass, what he thought of most was not the joy of being top of the list or the anticipation of the future, but the memories of Yang Family Village more than ten years ago.

Every day he reminisced about the day Yang Zhenshan took him back to the Yang family.

”Disciple thanks Master!” Lin Zhan again kowtowed three times, Mrs. Zheng also followed in kowtowing.

Yang Zhenshan, having no choice, stepped forward to help him up, ”Alright, get up now!”

Lin Zhan calmed his somewhat agitated emotions, ”Master, I will return to Anning County tomorrow!”

Although they had passed through Jing’an Prefecture on the way back to Chongshan Pass, he still chose to return to Chongshan Pass first.

”Alright, go,” Yang Zhenshan didn’t say much, just patted his shoulder.

After that, Lin Zhan took his leave, as they, a young couple, had just come back and still needed to go tidy their own yard.

When they left, other people from the Yang family also began to leave, and soon only a few people remained in what was once a crowded hall.

Everyone else was gone, except for Wang Mingzhe.

”Do you have something to say?” Yang Zhenshan surprisingly looked at him.

Wang Mingzhe, the same age as Yang Wanqing at thirteen this year, had a personality that gave Yang Zhenshan a bit of a headache.

This kid had always been lazy since childhood; aside from sleeping, it was eating, seemingly uninterested in anything else.

Even now, he was still the same, look at his physique, he was almost catching up to Ms. Wang.

Among the three apprentices, this kid was the laziest.

”Uh, Master, I also want to follow Brother back to Anning County to take a look!” Wang Mingzhe scratched his head and said naively.

Yang Zhenshan looked at him, ”Why suddenly want to go back and visit?”

”Disciple wants to offer incense to his parents,” said Wang Mingzhe.

Yang Zhenshan stroked his beard, quietly observing him.

This kid with this kind of thought?

If Lin Zhan and Wang Yunqiao wanted to go back to offer incense to their parents, Yang Zhenshan would certainly not think much of it, but even this kid wanted to offer incense to his parents?

He was only a few months old when he came to the Yang family; he had not even the slightest impression of his parents, and as for feelings, there probably wouldn’t be much.

Of course, it was only right for Wang Mingzhe to want to go back and offer incense to his parents, Yang Zhenshan wasn’t trying to stop him, but something felt off.

It didn’t match Wang Mingzhe’s personality; with his lazy nature, he should wish to hide in the yard every day without coming out, yet now he actually wanted to leave, to Anning County no less, which obviously didn’t make sense.

Could this kid just be trying to find an excuse to be lazy!

At the Yang family, it was not easy for Wang Mingzhe to be lazy, although Yang Zhenshan wouldn’t monitor him, Yang Chengmao, Jiang Ning, and others would be with him while practicing martial arts or studying.
