After Lin Youning heard her grandmother's words, she decided not to say more and began preparing something, but Mrs. Gao Sr. stopped her.
She laughed and said, "No need to prepare anything. I came by carriage, and we can just ride together."
"When we return from your brother's place, I'll either drop you back on the way, or you can come home with me and see your grandfather. Although your grandfather appears stern, he has not been able to let go of your mother all these years. Your mother's early passing was hardest on him. If you visit, it might ease his heart, but he can't bring himself to invite you. Expecting him to ask you to visit is something he could never say."
When speaking about her daughter, Mrs. Gao Sr.'s eyes turned red.
"Grandmother, please be at ease. Although I've never met my mother, I know she wouldn't want you both to be sad. If it weren't for my brother's accident, grandmother and grandfather wouldn't have to grieve for her passing."
