Chương 1109: Perplexed and Smitten (169)

Seeing that An Xiaoning was avoiding the topic, the elderly patriarch decided not to probe any further.

"Before I came in, I overheard you telling your grandchild that your ancestors had found a letter and two portraits in Yin Cun's coffin. Do you still have those things with you?"

"We didn't dare to keep them, lest we bring about unnecessary trouble. I've long burned them into ashes."

Soon, Yin Shi and his father returned with a thick book of ancestral records.

"Ms. An, you may take this," the patriarch said, staring at the ancestral records on the table.

She picked it up and flipped through the pages carefully before saying, "I shall wait for your family to issue a declaration, then. I'm sure you know the reason, Sir. I would then not impose on you any further."

"Ms. An, did you especially rush here from A Nation?"

"Yes, I'm heading back now."

"Why don't you stay here for a night? You may leave tomorrow morning."
