Du Jiuyuan remained as silent as before. Grandmother Ji saw through her determination and thought of a final solution.
Du Jiuyuan rejected Grandmother Ji's good intentions of letting her stay for dinner. Her aunt was still waiting for her at home, so Grandmother Ji did not force her to stay. There were some rules that she had to set up.
"Uncle Fu." Right after Du Jiuyuan left, Grandmother Ji called Uncle Fu over.
The old lady sat on the sofa and propped up her walking stick with one hand. "Uncle Fu, let me ask you. What exactly happened during my absence?"
Uncle Fu was a long time staff of the Ji family. Back then, it was the old lady who had personally recruited him into the Ji family. Seeing that he was quick-witted and capable, she had always treated him well.
"No, nothing major happened!"
