Susu held Qin Tianyi's hand, comforting him, "It's all in the past. Aunt Rong is the one who knew the old lady best. She said that if the old lady had a spirit in heaven, she wouldn't blame you, so she definitely won't blame you anymore."
Aunt Rong chimed in, "Yes, yes, what the second young mistress said is right. The old lady always liked you the most. She could never dote on you enough, so how could she blame you?"
Qin Tianyi lowered his head and ate the food. It was a taste he missed, as if he were back in the days when his grandmother was still by his side, protecting him.
Susu was happy for him, feeling that the knots between him and Aunt Rong had finally been untied.
She got up and walked around the first floor, looking around. She asked Aunt Rong, "This house has some history. What year was it built?"
Aunt Rong, leaning on her cane, came up to her and said with a smile, "This was the house left to the old lady by her parents. It had been vacant for a long time and fell into disrepair. After I moved in, I hired someone to do some repairs, but with my old age, there are still many places that I don't have the energy to fix."
Susu liked the scenery here and the style of the house. She said, "If it were all renovated and restored to its former glory, it would be the most beautiful villa in this town."
"Mmm, yes," Aunt Rong pulled her back to the dining table and looked at Tianyi, saying, "Second Young Master, the old lady actually transferred this house to your name long ago. She was afraid that after she died, with your intellectual issues, you wouldn't be able to contend with Jin Meiyao and her son. She had already transferred all her assets to your name. In fact, even if the second young mistress hadn't sent people to find me, I would have asked the lawyer the old lady had entrusted to find you when my health gave out in a couple of years."
"Grandmother... I miss Grandmother so much..." Qin Tianyi choked, unable to eat, and covered his face, trying to stop his tears from falling.
Little Xingxing, not understanding, asked, "Old Grandma, Daddy, Mommy, who are you talking about? Why is Daddy sad?"
Susu stroked Little Xingxing's head. "We're talking about your great-grandmother. It's a pity she never met you, and you never met her."
"Can I see her now?" Little Xingxing asked curiously. "What was Great-Grandmother like?"
Qin Tianyi wiped his face, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, we'll take you to see her now."
After speaking, he turned to Aunt Rong again and asked, "Aunt Rong, when Tianlang sent people to protect you and let you take Grandmother's ashes, where was Grandmother buried?"
Aunt Rong sighed, "Before the old lady died, she felt she had no face to meet the old master in the afterlife. She asked me to bring her ashes here to be buried after she passed away, so at least she could be with her parents."
"Can you take us to sweep Grandmother's grave?" Tianyi asked.
Aunt Rong looked at the sky outside and said, "It's getting late today. You should rest here for the night. I'll take you to the cemetery tomorrow morning."
Tianyi nodded, readily agreeing.
After they ate, Tianyi, with Little Xingxing, cleared all the weeds in the yard for Aunt Rong before dark.
The flowers that the old lady had loved in her life were particularly brilliant in the sunset.
At night, Little Xingxing was asleep.
Susu and Tianyi stood on the balcony of their room, looking at the lake surface with faint colored lights in the distance, leaning against each other.
Although there were some tourists here during the New Year, it hadn't been overly developed, and the town still retained its original charm.
Tianyi gently stroked her face and said, "Susu, thank you for doing all this for me. How did you find this place? I sent people to search before, but I couldn't find it. I thought I would never see her again in this lifetime."
"At first, I also thought of having people search in Aunt Rong's hometown, but then I thought if Aunt Rong had returned to her hometown, you should have found her long ago," Susu said with a smile. "It was during a casual chat with Aunt Chen that I accidentally learned that the old lady's parents had bought a house in a place with beautiful scenery where they lived out their retirement. Chen didn't remember the exact location very clearly, only giving a general idea. So I asked Ya Nan to help me search, and unexpectedly, she really found this place and confirmed it herself. That's how I could give you this surprise."
Tianyi lowered his head and kissed her as a reward, "Thank you, and thank Ya Nan for her hard work too."
"Mr. Qin, there's no need to thank me. Let's thank Ya Nan properly after the New Year," Susu said, hugging him obediently. "I wanted to come and find her myself, but you accompany me every day and don't give me a chance to run around."
"You, if I don't keep an eye on you, you can't help but worry me," Tianyi said with a smile, ruffling her hair. "Let's sleep. Tomorrow we'll go to sweep Grandmother's grave together, so she can see Little Xingxing, and bless the children in your belly to be safe."
"Mmm, as long as you can resolve one worry, I'm happy too," Susu hugged him tighter, feeling an irresistible love for him, willing to do anything for the man she deeply loved.
...
Early in the morning, they arrived at the cemetery nestled amidst the mountains and lakes. Little Xingxing respectfully kowtowed three times to his great-grandmother.
Qin Tianyi truthfully told Aunt Rong that Susu was pregnant with twins and could not kneel, so he asked Susu to stand and bow to the old lady.
Upon hearing this news, Aunt Rong took Susu's hand, her face beaming with joy. "With the second young master, the Qin family's prosperity has suddenly bloomed. The old lady must be very happy in heaven."
Susu placed her hand on her belly a little shyly and said to the old lady's tombstone, "Grandmother, can I call you that? Don't worry, I will take good care of Tianyi and your great-grandchildren. Tianyi originally just wanted to avenge his mother; he never intended to destroy the Qin Group. The remaining industries of the Qin Group are getting better and better under his management, and they will soon recover to their former glory."
After speaking, she bowed three times to the old lady's tombstone.
Aunt Rong couldn't help but cry again. Susu put her arm around her shoulder. "Now that Jin Meiyao and her son have received their due retribution, the clouds have cleared, and we should be happy. Aunt Rong, you should also be happy every day. We will bring the children to visit you often."
"Okay, okay, I'm happy, I'm delighted," Aunt Rong said, excitedly holding both of their hands. She still had something to tell them, saying, "Actually, the old lady wanted to be buried with the old master. She didn't know the truth before she died and was deceived by bad people. Now that everything is clear, I think you should find time to move the old lady's ashes back to Lancheng to be buried with the old master. They cannot be separated even in death."
"I will send people to handle this immediately after the New Year," Qin Tianyi promised.
"Good, you are both good children," Aunt Rong hadn't smiled so happily in a long time.
Little Xingxing came over and tugged at Aunt Rong's sleeve, saying childishly, "Old Grandma, I'm also a good child. Why don't you praise me?"
Aunt Rong let go of them and hugged Little Xingxing, saying, "Yes, yes, Little Young Master is the best child. Second Young Master was much more mischievous than you when he was your age."
