"So you didn’t divorce Ms.Hua? You’re afraid that if you divorce her, she’ll get angry and vengeful, and what if she really has ties with that prefecture? You’re afraid she’ll beco dangerous when backed into a corner?" Could her wet nurse’s death be related to Ms.Hua? In that case, Old Lady Hua might be more guilty than dead, and even that might not be punishing her enough.
Old Yang sighed, "It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have married Ms.Hua in the first place. I thought she was a good person, but I never thought it would turn out like this."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia understood it all. He had been worried about Old Lady Hua’s possible collusion with that mysterious lady all these years, and the fact that Yang Dachuan might not be his son was another reason. With Ms.Hua giving birth to Yang Xiaochuan, Old Yang’s neglect of Dachuan seed quite reasonable.
However, she still wanted to address the issue of whether Dachuan was his biological son.
"Grandfather, regardless of whether my father’s blood matches yours or not, it is beyond doubt that my father is your biological son. Just look at how similar you two look. Moreover, I’ve heard a doctor say that people’s blood types are different. For example, your blood and my wet nurse’s blood might not be the sa. If my father inherited my wet nurse’s blood, how could it possibly be compatible with yours?"
"Did the doctor really say that?" Hearing Yang Chuxia’s words, Old Yang’s eyes lit up.
"Of course. Also, like , if my father and mother’s blood types are different, and I just happened to inherit my father’s blood, then mine wouldn’t be able to blend with my mother’s. But there are so special blood types that can blend with everyone else’s blood. So, that ’blood test’ for kinship isn’t necessarily accurate."
"That’s great, great!" After hearing Yang Chuxia’s words, Old Yang was moved to tears. He had always regretted Dachuan not being his son. His first son, whom he had cherished and placed high hopes on, and who would have thought things would end up like this?
"But, grandfather, why are you telling all this?" Yang Chuxia was curious about this. Shouldn’t he go to her father and talk about this kind of thing?
Old Yang glanced at her and said, "When I was working in the main family, I knew you were well-calculated. That’s why I let your father take those silver taels back. If you really have the ability in the future, don’t forget to look into your wet-nurse’s story. I’m not capable anymore, so I’ve been confused all these years."

What Old Yang didn’t say was that he had been secretly investigating Chuxia for a long ti, suspecting this granddaughter of his had great potential. So every ti he saw Yang Chuxia choking Old Lady Hua nearly half to death, he smiled contentedly.
He was happy that the third branch finally had soone formidable, so they no longer needed to be oppressed by Old Lady Hua.
As for Yang Chuxia doing business with the tavern, he had already guessed it, and that’s why he took out the silver, knowing that with this granddaughter, the third branch’s money would be well-guarded.
Yang Chuxia was astonished by Old Yang’s intentions, she never expected her cheap grandfather to think like that.
"But grandpa, didn’t you also say my fourth uncle was also your son?" Yang Chuxia wanted to say, didn’t you think about giving your fourth son a share too?
Old Yang looked at her again and said, "Do you think I don’t know if your fourth uncle has the ability or not? When silver reaches his hands, it’ll either be spent on food or drink. I just hope you can take care of your fourth uncle a bit more in the future, since you all are blood relatives."
