The journey usually only required five minutes of walking but Jennie took ten minutes instead.
Since she was so feeble, the new clothes that she had changed into were now thoroughly soaked with her sweat.Nonetheless, she had no time to deal with trivial matters. She. was certain that Lisa furiously went to visit his grandmother because of what happened and the results from the prison today.
Since his grandmother had single-handedly raised him, she. viewed him as her reason for living. In her heart, Jennie could blame or hate her but Lisa could not.
Even if Jennie could not bear the torture that was inflicted upon her, she could forgo her morals and allowa grandson to fight with his own grandmother...
Warm orange-colored light illuminated the side hall of Upper Mansion. The two pomegranate trees by the doorway that were boring juicy and ripe fruits were personally planted by Old Master while he was still alive.
Jennie leaned against one of the tree trunks and
panted for a while.It was still slightly cold in late autumn. The door to the side hall was unlocked, Old Mistress' sobs intermittently drifted out from there.
Jennie was shocked and she hurriedly walked forward.
She heard Old Mistress resentfully cursing as she cried, "It looks like you've been bewitched by that foxy woman because you actually turned around and bit the hand that fed you by. doubting your own grandmother!"
Jennie paused in her footsteps. She was pretty sure that the foxy woman that Lisa's grandmother was referring to.
She felt embarrassed for a few seconds. Standing on the same spot, Jennie heard Lisa's grandmother continued saying, "That Jennie Kim is just too much. She had been infatuated with you ever since she was slightly over ten years old. If it wasn't for her, Somi would have married into the Manoban Family..."
"She committed those crimes and got herself imprisoned so it's normal for her to get beaten up. Who wouldn't be irritated just by looking at that foxy face?"
Jennie was scolded to the point where her heart became empty for awhile.
She halted her footsteps because she was unsure whether to advance or retreat.
"Grandmother, my relationship with Somi was unlike the rumors spreading outside!"
Lisa's voice was deep and unhurried. Jennie was stunned because it was rare for her to hear Lisa clarifying his relationship with Somi.
It was unlike the rumors outside? Then what was it actually like?
She recalled how Lisa had previously told her that he owed Somi an infinite number of favors that could never be fully returned...
Jennie blankly stared while Lisa's deep and faraway voice echoed from the inside.
Since his grandmother was upset, Lisa spoke in a comforting tone and said, "Don't be angry, grandmother. Little Pran have no other intentions."
"When I received the news today, I didn't fully believe that Grandmother had planned this. I'll get Yan Jun to continue his investigation in this matter"
When Old Mistress heard that Lisa still wanted to pursue this, a furious look appeared on her face.
She reprimanded him saying, "If you continue to pursue this matter, I think that you should just listen to that foxy woman regarding matters that concern the Manoban Family in the future. You don't have to care at all about your grandmother
Over here anymore!""I raised you ever since you were little and l'd never disappointed your parents even after they died. I've wasted my love on you all these years!"
When Lisa saw that his grandmother was truly upset, it enough to stress out a person like himself who was exceptionally intelligent.
When he returned in the afternoon and saw Jennie's weary appearance, he lost all reason and anxiously rushed to Upper Mansion to confront his grandmother.
He had never expected that Old Mistress would insist that she had not planned that. This made Lisa passive instead.
When he encountered matters regarding Jennie, his actions would apparently be thrown into disorde.
"Of course I know that my grandmother loves me!"
Lisa's voice was magnificent and elegant.
Moreover, it was already naturally soothing. He held his grandmother's hands before he continued to speak.
"However, Jennie has suffered numerous grievances in the last two years. No matter what you say, her family is currently ruined and that was caused by the Manoban Family. After all, since the Kim Family and the Manoban Family previously had friendly relations, bringing down their entire household would definitely be a horrible thing to do!"
Lisa's tone was as gentle as a stream of flowing water between the hills. But when Jennie heard him mentioning the destruction of her family, a bone-chilling feeling swept over her and her fingertips faintly trembled.
Was the destruction of her household caused by the Manoban Family?
She had nearly forgotten about this matter!
