And since Old Lady Qin has encountered trouble, for the Second Elder, it is actually a good thing, a joyous occasion.

It’s just a pity that the Second Elder, even if he racks his brains, wouldn’t have thought that the old lady isn’t really in trouble.

The reason she didn’t show up is that she’s busy playing with the children, accompanying them in games.

Yes, with children, but the "children" here doesn’t refer to Wu Wang, but rather to the likes of Yixuan and the younger generation, these brothers, as well as Dong Huiying. In the eyes of an elder past fifty like the old lady, aren’t they just children?

In a little courtyard in Dongcui City that goes unnoticed.

"Back already?"

The old lady looked up, just in time to see Qin Chun returning from outside.

Qin Chun respectfully reported back.

The old lady wore a stern face.

"My second sister is ambitious and treacherous, fortunately, today things went unexpectedly wrong, otherwise..."

Otherwise, if Yixuan had indeed been taken back to the Qin family by the Second Elder’s people and treated so harshly, the old lady would certainly have lost her patience long ago.

She indeed seldom returns to the Qin Family Ancestral Land, but just because she seldom returns doesn’t mean she’s lost control over it.

Only this game, with so many opponents, is arduous.

Today, she reproved a bit, so that the Second Elder wouldn’t go too far, so that Yue Ning wouldn’t suffer more.

But then, recalling something, the old lady laughed.

"I’ve had no children in my lifetime, but Yixuan and the others, they are like my sons, my grandsons, my family. This kinship is bestowed by heaven."

In the past, the old lady acknowledged only Yixuan, but now, maybe due to love as extension, she considers the entire Liang family as her own.

Of course, although both palms are made of flesh, the flesh can be of different thickness.

It is very clear, even if she acknowledges the Liang family, at any time, Yixuan holds the heaviest place in the old lady’s heart, and is her most beloved.

...

On the other hand, at the Qin Family Ancestral Land.

Liang Yuening put on an irritable appearance, causing a commotion.

Until the Second Elder sent someone over to prepare a decent meal for him, only then did he sulkily seem a bit more appeased.

He rubbed his nose furiously.

"Just wait, all of you! Once I return to the villa, once I meet my Grandma Qin, I’ll definitely tell on you, and let her punish you. Who let you all gang up to bully me? To make me eat chaff and swallow vegetables, hmph!"

He pretended to be a brainless idiot, huffing and puffing, then drove the servants out of the courtyard, acting as if he was sulking and didn’t want to be disturbed.

"Tsk."

Yue Ning’s keen ears twitched, then his eyes suddenly lit up.

At this moment, the windows in the shady, damp spot were pushed open from outside, then one after another, the whole family came in through the window as if entering a no-man’s land.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Third Brother Liang Shujun clicked his tongue in wonder, and it was also him who had just laughed scornfully outside the window.

He teased Fifth Brother Yue Ning. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Yue Ning, oh Yue Ning, not bad, you’ve got a bit of the flair I had back in the day."

Yue Ning’s old face turned red, then he secretly glanced at Dong Huiying, showing a particularly earnest and embarrassed expression.

At this moment, he really felt very uncomfortable.

How long had Shujun and the others been here? How much had they heard, or seen?

He hesitated uncertainly.

"Yingying?"

He took small steps to inch closer to Dong Huiying.
