Senior officials at the level of Grand Secretary Yuan didn’t need any meaningless socializing anymore, and they could go without meaningful interactions.

After leaving, Grand Secretary Yuan went straight back to Yuan Residence after reading for a while.

Old Madame Yuan came from a scholarly family in Jiangnan. She single-handedly supervised the construction of the residence and made their garden look like a small Jiangnan garden.

Grand Secretary Yuan never took a concubine in his life, and neither did any of his sons. Only, the second daughter-in-law died in childbirth, so the second son married a second wife.

In the garden, a young Taoist nun in blue was reading a book absent-mindedly.

It wasn’t a scripture, but a novel from her small study.

Around her was a girl in purple catching b.u.t.terflies with a net made of spider silk and bamboo strips.

Seeing Grand Secretary Yuan coming, the eyes of the girl in purple lit up. After handing the bamboo net in her hand to the servant girl aside, she ran over with her skirt slightly lifted by hand regardless of her image, "Grandpa, grandpa! You’re back!"

Grand Secretary Yuan looked at his granddaughter running all the way and felt a headache, "Don't run, be careful not to fall."

"That won’t happen!" The girl in purple stopped in front of him, made a polite gesture, and then held his arm affectionately. "Grandpa, grandpa, why are you back so late today?"

Grand Secretary Yuan replied, "I read some books for a while."

"Oh." The girl in purple had no interest in books, so she didn't ask any further questions.

Grand Secretary Yuan's eyes rested on the young Taoist nun in blue on the stone bench.

The young Taoist nun seemed to have sensed his gaze as she put down the book slowly and gave him a Taoist greeting with special solemnity, "Benefactor Yuan."

Grand Secretary Yuan：“…”

Grand Secretary Yuan sighed slowly, "Haven't you already resumed secular life?"

The young Taoist nun: "Not yet."

Grand Secretary Yuan looked at the novel in her hand, saying, "Then are you allowed to read these romantic books without having resumed secular life?"

"..." The young Taoist nun was silent for a moment before saying without changing expressions, "It might be a romantic book in the eyes of Benefactor Yuan, but it is an entire world in the eyes of the poor."

Grand Secretary Yuan again: "…"

"Enough of that, you guys don’t utter any more strange stuff!" The girl in purple felt her head ache. One was her sister, the other was her grandfather. She could understand their words when spoken alone, but she was unable to comprehend their conversation at all!

Grand Secretary Yuan: "Don't eat meat at night if you can."

"Supreme Heavenly Blessed." The little Taoist performed a Taoist ceremony with a pious expression, "Wine and meat pa.s.s through the intestines, but the Heavenly Blessed’s heart remains."

Grand Secretary Yuan once again: "…"

Grand Secretary Yuan finally lost the battle and walked away with a dark expression.

Who would have thought that the Grand Secretary Yuan, who Grand Preceptor Zhuang couldn't even suppress, would be eating a loss in the hands of his little granddaughter?

Speaking frankly, it was still him doting on her.

This granddaughter was born with poor luck and almost died when she was young. Old Madame Yuan found a Taoist priest to bless her life, who then said she had to be raised in the Taoist temple and be blessed by the Heavenly Blessed to grow up safely.

Grand Secretary Yuan didn't believe this, but Old Madame Yuan insisted on sending her grandchild to the Taoist temple. The child really got better, and when she was taken back, she fell ill again in a few days.

After this situation repeated several times, the child lived in the Taoist temple completely.

It wasn’t when she turned sixteen a while ago that they brought her back home again.

"Father." Grand Secretary Yuan's eldest son met him outside the yard and gave him a salute. "You're late today. Did something happen in the cabinet?"

"Not an official business." Grand Secretary Yuan waved his hand and stepped into the yard.

He sat down on the official hat chair in the main room, and a servant girl nimbly served him tea.

After a sip of tea, he slowly said to his eldest son, "Baolin is no longer young, isn't it time to set up her marriage?"

Yuan Pei said with a smile, "It is indeed time to discuss her marriage. Does Father… have any suitable candidate in mind?"

Grand Secretary Yuan paused before saying, "Not at the beginning."

So there was now?

Yuan Pei looked at his father expectantly.

Grand Secretary Yuan said, "That boy from the Zhuang Family is a good one."

“Zhuang Family? The Zhuang Family of Grand Preceptor Zhuang? If it's a son of the right age in his family..." Yuan Pei carefully recalled, and then he was shocked." The new Bangyan, An Junw.a.n.g?"

"En." Grand Secretary Yuan nodded his head.

Yuan Pei mused, "That child is indeed a good candidate..."

He had a virtuous reputation, was intelligent and ambitious to improve himself. At the age of eight, he went to the State of Chen as a hostage prince. He didn't cry nor make a scene which clearly showed his nature, and the fact that he could return alive was enough to prove his ability.

Such a man was rare in the world. He was truly worthy of their family’s Baolin.

Yuan Pei wondered, "But isn't father unwilling to be connected by marriage with these big families?"

It was Grand Secretary Yuan's principle not to get involved in court disputes.

He was only loyal to the State of Zhao.

Grand Secretary Yuan didn't give a complicated answer and simply said after careful consideration, "That kid is better than I thought."

The young Taoist nun didn't know that her marriage had been brought up by her grandfather as she was dragged out of Yuan Residence by her sister.

The girl in purple tugged at her, "Sister, hurry up! There is a Lantern Festival today! There will be a lot of people! It’d be hard to squeeze in if we come late!"

The young Taoist nun helplessly rolled her eyes.

She just wanted to continue reading the novel.

Had the princess found out the mistress that the imperial son-in-law kept outside?

Has the swapped child been recognized by the princess yet?

Also, that widow best friend of the princess had slept with the imperial son-on-law countless times. Just when would the princess discover the true face of this vixen?
