The Old Madam Yao holds a peaceful facade, but that is all just a show.
As soon as everyone else left the room, leaving only Gu Yan, Old Madam Yao ordered a maid to bring a large box. Inside was a huge, ripe persimmon. She handed it to Gu Yan and said, "This is the King of Persimmons your eldest uncle bought with good money. Your maternal grandmother saved it especially for you. Have a taste."
"Is there only one?" Gu Yan asked.
Old Madam Yao was taken aback.
Gu Yan continued, "Then I should save it for my sister and little Monk."
"They have their own! This one is yours!" Old Madam Yao called another maid and handed her the box, "Pick the largest two out of those the master brought over yesterday and take them to Jiaojiao and that child."
When Gu Yan heard that his maternal grandmother did not even use Monk's name, a crease appeared between his brows.
"I'll go find mom..." He found an excuse and left.
