Reborn ten times, she is the real daughter of the Marquis Mansion and she doesn't pretend anymo

Yuntang followed Lin Haoran to the study in the front yard to pay a visit to the old Duke Weiguo. A thin but vigorous old man was writing behind a large desk with a small incense burner burning on the table.

The study was very quiet, as if it was blocked out from the hustle and bustle of other parts of the mansion.

"Yun Tang greets Grandfather Lin!" Yun Tang stepped forward and saluted, his voice as cheerful as a gentle breeze.

The old man holding a brush behind the large desk raised his head when he heard the voice, and met Yuntang's smiling face, and suddenly showed an expression of realization.

"Oh my, Xiao Tang'er has grown so big!"

It was this sentence too... Yun Tang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Xiao Tang'er finally came to see the old man. The old man has been looking forward to your coming every day these days, but you...ah, you are such a heartless person."

When Old Man Lin came over, he couldn't help but complain, but when he came in front of Yuntang and looked at her, the smile on his face was very kind and cheerful.

"I didn't expect you to be Jiang Ming'an's daughter. I've had a lot of dealings with your father, but I didn't know he had lost such a lovely little daughter."

Old Man Lin walked to the warm kang under the window with his hands behind his back and sat down. He waved at Yun Tang and asked curiously:

"I know that your master picked you up, but I don't know what happened that year that made you wander around. Did your father tell you?"

Yuntang curled his lips, shook his head, walked to the other side of the warm kang and sat down, then took a piece of cake from the plate on the kang table and started eating.

Seeing that she was still the same as she was when she was a child, Old Man Lin couldn't help but smile, and then he thought of something and started talking again.

"The Marquis's Mansion has a legitimate daughter, and it's strange that no one spread the news when one was lost."

"That's fake." Yun Tang muttered.

"Princess Kangning abandoned me and brought that one back. She only gave birth to one child, so naturally no one thought that I was the real one."

Old Man Lin frowned when he heard this, and his voice became deeper. He said angrily, "Even if she is a princess, she shouldn't abandon her own daughter! I'm going to talk to Prince Cheng about this!"

"Don't worry, Xiao Tang'er. If your senior brother is not convenient to come forward, I, an old man, will support you!"

"Tomorrow I will write a memorial to impeach Prince Cheng! We must make them give an explanation!" Old man Lin said as he rolled up his sleeves to show his attitude.

Yun Tang smiled and quickly shook his head, saying, "Grandfather Lin, there is no need. I am returning to the Marquis' Mansion to recognize my relatives to sever my blood relationship with her."

"The time has come. This small marquisate cannot keep a young Taoist like me. Let them regret it." Yun Tang was unwilling to elaborate and could only appease Old Man Lin's temper.

Old Man Lin looked at her, and suddenly laughed as if he had thought of something. His mood eased a lot, and he changed his words and said, "Then the old man will just watch the fun from the side."

When Xiaojiu comes back, he will vent his anger on Xiaotanger's behalf. Why would he, an old man, need to get angry and glare at her?

Yes, I guess Yun Xuanchen and the others had the same idea and didn’t show up.

Thinking of Yun Xuanmo... Old Man Lin opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.

He picked up the small teapot on the table and poured two cups of tea. He pushed one of them towards Yuntang and took a sip from one himself.

Yuntang stood up and took the teacup with both hands. He sat down again and took a sip of the tea. When he put down the teacup, he had already taken out a palm-sized Ruyi jade pendant with a strong Taoist charm from his sleeve.

The jade pendant and the string of protective jade beads given to the old lady were made from the same piece of imperial green jade and are of excellent quality.

"Grandfather Lin, this piece of protective jade is a token of my filial piety. Please accept it." Yuntang presented the Ruyi jade pendant with both hands.

Old Man Lin was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said with interest: "I've heard that Xiao Tanger gave gifts to his senior brothers and juniors when he returned to Beijing. How come I got some too?"

Yun Tang smiled and said, "I just gave Grandmother Lin a string of protective beads as a birthday gift. This jade pendant of Grandfather Lin is made from the same piece of jade. Naturally, this jade pendant should be given to Grandfather Lin."

"I see. The old man got some benefit."

Old Man Lin suddenly realized, but he stopped being pretentious and quickly accepted it with a smile. He also took out his Qiankun bag and carefully put the Ruyi jade pendant into the bag.

Yun Xuanyuan gave a Qiankun bag to each of the elders in his family so that they could use it as a portable magic weapon. Although it could not hold much, it was extremely convenient.

Yuntang talked with Old Man Lin for a while, then stood up after drinking a cup of tea and said:

"Grandfather Lin, I'm going to go to Ya'er's place to have dinner with the girls. You can go to my senior brothers' place. Haoran is waiting outside."

When they saw the lunch break, Old Man Lin did not stay any longer, but only reminded him, "Child, come to our mansion often in the future. The Marquis's Mansion is not good, and our Duke's Mansion is also your home."

"Yun Tang has made note of this." Yun Tang bowed and walked out first.

Old Man Lin sat there thinking about things for a while before he got up to look for Yun Xuanyuan and the others.

The old duke, who had just resigned from his title, was now free and believed that his grandson's fellow apprentices must have important matters to discuss when they came here today, so he wanted to see if he could help.

He had heard about the Luotian Dajiao, and he also wanted to help so that Xiaojiu could come back earlier. He was a little uncomfortable with Xiaotang'er, who was so calm and composed but acted like an old-fashioned person, and he felt sorry for her.

In Furong Pavilion, a group of little girls were chattering about something. When they saw Yuntang coming, they all smiled happily.

"big sister!"

"Little uncle!"

"Junior Master, you are finally here. I wanted to send someone to look for you." The one running in the front was Lin Ya.

Today is the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion hosting a banquet, and Lin Ya is in charge of entertaining this group of young girls.

In addition to Princess Mingxi, Princess Minghua, Princess Mingzhi, and the four sisters from the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, there were also girls from the Lin family's in-laws in the capital, as well as several girls who came to visit with their mothers from the duke's and marquis' mansions.

These girls were all around thirteen or fourteen years old, there was no one younger than them. They were not familiar with Yuntang, and looked somewhat helpless and shy when they looked over.

Lin Ya took Yun Tang over and introduced them to each other with a smile.

However, the ten-year-old Lin Ya called him "Little Master Uncle" over and over again, which made the little girls not know how to call him. They were so anxious that their faces turned red and they were about to cry.

Yun Tang smiled and said, "You can call me Little Taoist."

Lin Ya nodded.

Princesses Mingxi and the others also nodded.

The girls blushed and timidly called out, "Little Taoist Priest."

Then he lowered his eyes, feeling ashamed, thinking that he was taken advantage of by a girl of the same age, but... the "little master uncle" that the princesses had just called him must be too old.

Isn't it taking advantage of them just by calling them "Little Taoist Master"?

With this thought in mind, the girls became even quieter and the atmosphere became a little stiff and cold.

Lin Ya glanced at them and snorted unhappily.
