Chapter 433: Chapter 434: Family Recognition Meeting?
Chapter 433: Chapter 434: Family Recognition Meeting?
“Alright, alright, Uncle won’t mention it again.”
Liu Zhinan patted her shoulder, emotionally stirred, “We uncle and niece have finally reunited, we should be happy.”
Qi Yue took the opportunity to ask a few more questions.
For instance, since he had known about it three years ago, why had they not acknowledged each other for so long?
Back then, wasn’t it just to confirm whether the original lady was from the Liu Family? Why did it take so long?
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhinan answered them all very well.
It was impeccable.
This only made Qi Yue even more certain of her suspicions.
However, this did not affect her performance.
It didn’t take long before she was interacting with Liu Zhinan as if they truly were uncle and niece.
Just as she was about to inquire about Shen Gong and the affairs of the Nanyue Court from Liu Zhinan, suddenly a dull thumping sound came, as if someone was walking on the floor above their heads.
Qi Yue immediately became alert.
“Uncle, there’s someone upstairs, isn’t there?”
“No, not at all.” Liu Zhinan hastily shook his head, but Qi Yue felt he seemed a bit uneasy.
Qi Yue was about to speak when suddenly there came two more muffled sounds, as if the person above was a bit angry, stomping like a child.
Liu Zhinan quickly stood up and said, “Yueyue, let’s leave it at this for today. You go ahead and check out the front, I’ve already asked the old steward to wait outside…”
Qi Yue’s eyes flickered, and she dashed to the stairway.
“Uncle, I heard from the old steward that you are the only one here, no one else is allowed to come in. Are you perhaps keeping a beauty hidden here? Won’t you let me meet her?”
As she spoke, she looked ready to rush upstairs.
Liu Zhinan immediately raced over to stop her, with a placating smile, “You heard wrong, there’s no beauty at all!”
Just then, another muffled sound came, as if the person above was intentionally contradicting Liu Zhinan.
Qi Yue burst into laughter.
“Uncle, did you hear that? There really is someone up there.”
“Nonsense, don’t talk nonsense.”
While speaking, Liu Zhinan pushed her outside and even closed the stairway door behind him.
“Go on, go wait for me in the front.”
Qi Yue shook her arm, looking up again and again, but regretfully, the pavilion was deep and she could see nothing.
“The old man is quite strong, pushing me so painfully.”
She muttered under her breath, lips curled, and made her way out of the garden the way she had come.
Just as she reached the garden gate, she heard Qingzhu and the old steward verbally sparring over the issue of entering the garden.
“If you don’t let me in, I will be less polite!”
“Outsiders cannot enter this garden…”
Qi Yue hurried out of the garden calling out,
“Do not be rude, Qingzhu.”
Hearing her voice, Qingzhu momentarily relaxed.
“Master, have you finally come out?”
Qi Yue gave him a reassuring look, “Worry not, all is well.”
The old steward also stepped forward.
“Young master, please come with me. Let’s go meet the old lady and the ladies.”
The old lady? Wasn’t she his newly recognized “great-aunt?”
Qi Yue smiled warmly towards the old steward, speaking softly, “Old sir, may I inquire your honored surname?”
The old steward bowed.
“You are too kind, young master. I share the same clan as the old master, also surnamed Liu.”
Being a large family, it was normal for the Liu Family to have some distant relatives. Qi Yue immediately returned the bow.
“So you are Uncle Liu.”
“I dare not, young master, you are too kind.”
“In that case, Uncle Liu is also in the know?”
“Rest assured, young master, the old master has arranged everything well, you will not be mistreated. Please come with me.”
Qi Yue initially wanted to inquire further, but upon hearing this, she had no choice but to keep quiet.
Qingzhu, standing by, was already completely confused and anxious, following closely behind Qi Yue, continuously asking questions.
“Master, what’s going on here? Isn’t this the way to the back yard?”
“Haven’t you heard? We’re going to meet the grandmadam and the ladies.”
“Why so?” Qingzhu pointed at the old butler leading the way, then gestured towards the direction they had just come from.
“Master, weren’t we here to celebrate a birthday? Why are we heading to these places?”
Qi Yue couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
“I’m not too sure either, perhaps we should add a family recognition party?!”
“What kind of family recognition party,” Qingzhu looked utterly bewildered, “Could it be you truly are the Liu Family’s illegitimate…”
Watching Qingzhu turn a shade of green from holding back, Qi Yue couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter.
“More outrageous than being illegitimate, let’s see if you dare believe it.”
Once Qingzhu understood the situation, he also became stunned, taking a long while to react.
“Master, is Liu Zhinan really your uncle?”
“True or false doesn’t matter.” Qi Yue slightly curled her lips, “What’s important is having a powerful thigh to cling to.”
Qingzhu scratched his head.
Why did his master always say things he couldn’t comprehend!
Meanwhile, the second floor of the Bamboo Garden Pavilion was far from quiet.
At the central tea table, two people sat, one on each side.
One of them was Liu Zhinan, and the other was an elderly man with white hair.
Judging by age, the old man was over a hundred years old, but he seemed like a mischievous child.
He was said to be lively, with not even a hint of the sluggishness of old age.
At this moment, he was shaking the bottle left behind by Qi Yue, popping the sugar beans inside into his mouth one by one.
“Mm, mm, tasty… delicious…”
“Master, don’t eat anymore, those are for brewing tea… How about I make you some tea…”

“Nonsense.” The old man glared and waved his hands dismissively, “Who made the rule that you must brew tea to drink, unenlightened…”
Liu Zhinan helplessly knelt and took a few steps towards the elder.
“Master, could you please ease up, it’s uncertain if these can be eaten like this…”
“Nonsense, of course, they can.” The old man arrogantly tilted his head up, glaring at Liu Zhinan through his nostrils, and dumped the entire bottle of sugar beans into his mouth.
Seeing this, Liu Zhinan was alarmed, “Master, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? If so, you must tell me!”
The elder rolled his eyes and said nothing, looking quite content.
“Burp…”
Suddenly he let out a loud burp and exhaled a long breath.
“Hahaha… Enjoyable, indeed a good stuff, truly great!”
Seeing this, Liu Zhinan finally relaxed and returned to his original position.
“Master, if you think it’s good, shall I ask Qi Yue to get more?”
“Get what, how much can you get? A bottle a day is not enough for me, old man,” the elder scoffed, tossing the empty bottle up and down.
Liu Zhinan smiled and moved a bit forward.
“So you think it’s pretty good then, Master?”
The elder lifted his eyes, putting the bottle back on the table.
“What are you asking about that’s pretty good? The fake family recognition story you spun or these sugar beans?”
Liu Zhinan pursed his lips and offered a sheepish smile.
“Master, wasn’t it your idea to stage this scene?”
After a pause, he added, “I’m asking about your opinion of Qi Yue.”
“Whether she’s good or not isn’t for you to decide.” The elder gave Liu Zhinan a stern look.
“Old man, let me make this clear to you, you better protect her well. If anything goes wrong and your younger fellow disciple comes knocking, I won’t handle it, then… hmm…”
Liu Zhinan quickly nodded his head.
“Rest assured, Master, your disciple won’t let your preparations go to waste!”
No sooner had he spoken than the elder laid into him with a barrage of insults.
“Then what are you still sitting here for? Waiting for this old man to reward you? Aren’t you supposed to be attending to the front? Shouldn’t you be taking care of that girl… Do you even realize your script was full of holes, not even a fool would be deceived… hurry up and go fix it…”
As he spoke, he posed to hit.
