“Mum, what’s happened to Grandpa?”
Qian Jinglan said, “Your grandpa’s fine. It’s your cousin who’s caused trouble. He insists on becoming a monk at Tianlong Temple, studying under Master Due.”
Ye Qiu was stunned. The bootlicker wants to be a monk?
Qian Jinglan continued, “You know the Qian family is a century-old scholarly lineage with strict traditions.”
“Your grandpa was counting on your eldest uncle to carry on the legacy, which is why he allowed your second uncle to go into business. But then your eldest uncle had his incident.”
“Now, in the third generation, Duoduo is the only male left. Everyone’s hoping he’ll continue the family line, but he wants to become a monk. It’s infuriated your grandpa and second uncle.”
“The Qian family is in an uproar. Your grandpa’s so angry he fell ill. He called me earlier, saying Duoduo only listens to you and wants you to go to Suzhou-Hangzhou to talk some sense into him.”
“Qiu’er, what do you think?”
“Mum, I’ll head to Suzhou-Hangzhou now,” Ye Qiu said. He had already planned to visit Grandpa Qian before leaving the secular world, and now with this issue, it was the perfect time to go.
“Qiu’er, where are Xiaoxue and Nange?” Qian Jinglan asked.
“They’re sleeping,” Ye Qiu replied, immediately regretting it. Didn’t that imply to his mother that he was with both of them last night?
“I see. I’ll go home later to make some nourishing soup for them,” Qian Jinglan said with a smile.
“Mum, I’ve got to go,” Ye Qiu said hurriedly, hanging up. He sent a message to Xiao Zhan to book a ticket.
After washing up and changing, Ye Qiu saw Qian Shanxue and Qiusan Nange still asleep. He gently kissed their cheeks and headed downstairs.
As soon as he appeared, Xiao Zhan pulled up in the car.
“Brother-in-law, ticket’s booked. I’ll take you to the airport,” Xiao Zhan said.
“Good,” Ye Qiu nodded slightly.
Half an hour later, Ye Qiu reached the airport. Just as he was about to go through security, Xiao Zhan called out to him.
Xiao Zhan teased, “Brother-in-law, the Underworld Palace has issues for you to solve, now Qian Duoduo has issues for you to solve. You’re practically a fire brigade captain.”
“Since you love putting out fires, you must find time to see my sister.”
“You’ve set her heart ablaze. You’ve got to put that fire out too.”
“Brother-in-law, I don’t care. When you return from Suzhou-Hangzhou, you must go…”
