Chapter 26 - Concubine

When those words were spoken the entire hall went quiet.

An Zi Ran took a deep breath and gently pulled his hands away. When he could not pull them away, he said patiently, "Lao wang ye, you misidentified, I am not your grandson."

[T/N: I'm changing "old Fu wang ye" to "Fu lao wang ye" because I feel like the word "old" or "lao" here is meant to be a part of his title 老王爷 and not just a descriptor of his age. It was starting to feel weird translating 傅老王爷 as "old Fu wang ye." And "Fu lao wang ye" is more compliant with the original order in Chinese.]

Your real grandson is watching you blanking from the side, An Zi Ran thought.

Fu lao wang ye did not listen to him. Instead, he grinned and said in a dejected manner, "Grandson, is it that you dislike your grandfather? Speak, grandfather will change."

An Zi Ran suddenly felt a headache coming on. It looked like there was something wrong with Fu lao wang ye's head. He even mistook someone else for his own grandson. Could An Zi Ran still count on him to remember something from ten years ago? No wonder Fu Wu Tian had his grandfather brought over so readily. He (ML) must've calculated that Fu lao wang ye wouldn't be able to say anything (about the marriage contract). He (MC) did not think Fu lao wang ye was pretending, because it was not necessary.

An Zi Ran looked at Fu Wu Tian and said, "Wang ye, can Fu lao wang ye remember this matter?"

While staring at his face, Fu Wu Tian said, "He had a serious illness six years ago. When he recovered and woke up, he became like this. Sometimes his memory is there, and sometimes it is not. He often misidentified people."

Intermittent amnesia!

An Zi Ran immediately reached this conclusion. This condition could also be called forgetfulness. The elderly are the most likely to get this disease. It is almost incurable. It was entirely up to luck, whether he could remember that agreement from ten years ago.

Fu Wu Tian looked at him calmly*. His eyes flashed. He wanted to see how An Zi Ran planned to prove his claim.

[*T/N: 好整以暇 "to be calm and unruffled in the midst of chaos or at a busy time" (idiom). MTL translated this as "awkwardness"... That's like the polar opposite meaning, ah! o(╯□╰)o]

An Zi Ran thought for a bit, and still decided to give it a try, so he took the jade pendant over and presented it to Fu lao wang ye. "Lao wang ye, do you still remember this jade pendant? Ten years ago, you gave this to my grandfather, as a token of promise to make our two families in-laws. My grandfather is your soul mate (close friend). You were once sworn brothers. Do you remember?"

Fu lao wang ye tilted his head for a moment as he looked. Suddenly, with pleasant surprise, he grabbed onto the jade pendant, and said with a definitive voice, "I remember!"

An Zi Ran felt a spark of delight.

Fu lao wang ye then said, "This is Dan Xue's jade pendant. How come there is only one?"

An Zi Ran's expression froze.

Who was Dan Xue?

Fu Wu Tian saw the distress on his face. It was like seeing something interesting. His eyes lit up, "Dan Xue is my* grandmother."
