Xia Lu agreed and took the three of them to the side hall next to the ancestral hall, and asked the butler to make a pot of tea.

"Tell me!" Xia Lu looked at Lao Jiatou with suspicious eyes, "What's going on?"

Lao Jia took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Xia Lu.

Xia Lu opened it suspiciously, not knowing what he saw, and stood up in shock: "Are you..."

Lao Jia nodded: "That's right, I am Wan'er's father, Yan Yi and An'an's grandfather."

"What!" Xia Yanyi exclaimed, "Are you grandfather?"

Xia Anan smiled and said, "I knew it! Your surname is Jia, and you also came from Zhong Nanshan. Eighty-mostly, what does it have to do with my mother? It turns out that you are our grandfather!"

Old Jiatou smiled and nodded, and continued to say to Xia Lu: "Before his death, Guan'er wrote to me, saying that the two children had no mother, and you were very utilitarian, and you were afraid that you would not be able to take good care of them. So I asked me to help take care of them. So I went down the mountain, returned to the vulgarity, and came to your mansion."

Xia Lu was obviously guilty: "So you are the father-in-law! Why didn't you say it earlier? If you want to say it earlier, I will support you well no matter what, and I will not let you clean here."

Lao Jiatou shook his head: "I told you that you won't let me raise them. Then how can I take care of them?"

Xia Lu: "...That, in fact, Wan'er's words were so biased in her letter. She fell down the stairs and did not push her on purpose, but Xinlan accidentally hit her when she fell..."

Lao Jiatou said, "Kneel down."

Xia Lu was stunned: "What?"

Lao Jiatou: "Kneel down."

As the first rank of the dynasty, Xia Lu usually did not kneel when he saw the emperor, but only bowed his rituals.

However, he remained silent for a moment and still kneeled.

Old Jiatou looked at him seriously: "Do you know why I asked you to kneel?"

Xia Lu lowered his head: "It's because I didn't protect Wan'er, I should kneel down."

Lao Jiatou: "The husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly away when the disaster comes. She can only blame herself for taking a look. She should be so lucky."

Xia Lu was dissatisfied with this: "My father-in-law, you said I didn't take good care of her, I agree. You said she took a look, but I don't agree! I started from the first day I met him, even until now, I was only in my heart... she was the only one! I was forced to save the lives of the whole family! Especially for the two children..."

Lao Jiatou: "Is that true?"

Xia Lu nodded sincerely.

"Since you're all for your two children, don't punish Brother Yi again in the future." Old Jiatou said: "After all, he is such a big man, so he has something to take on by himself."

Xia Lu: "…good."

"The reason I asked you to kneel is because I want to see if you can still remember Wan'er and whether you are willing to recognize me as your father-in-law. Since you are willing to kneel down, I will say a few more words to you." Lao Jiatou said.

Xia Lu: "Please give me instructions, sir!"

Lao Jiatou: "I dare not give me instructions. I just hope that you can treat your two children well. First, this is Wan'er's wish, and second, if you treat them well, they will naturally be filial to you in the future."

Xia Lu: "They are my biological children, and of course I will treat them well."

"What I mean by kindness is not just about material things," said Lao Jiatou. "When facing the choice of key issues, I hope you can listen to their own opinions more than just what you think is good. They may not necessarily feel good. Just like your choice, your choice killed Wan'er."
