As soon as the old man left the house, Huo knew about it.

She was confused in her heart. The old man rarely went out unless he had to, not to mention that Song Si was a poor student, and the old man would not let him treat him to dinner. There must be something strange about it.

She sent someone to stare at the door of the mansion at all times, and when the old man came back, she would tell her that time had passed little by little. Seeing that there were still two quarters of an hour before she could hear the old man coming back, she began to feel uneasy.

I went to the study to find Mr. Da, "My father said he was having dinner with Song Si, but he hasn't come back yet. I'm really worried. Go to the door of the mansion to take a look."

The eldest gentleman didn't know about this. Hearing this, he put down the book in his hand and hurriedly came out and waited.

After waiting for two quarters of an hour, he saw the carriage slowly coming. When the carriage stopped, he took the lantern from the person's hand and greeted him, "Where is my father?"

The old man was lowering his head and coming out of the carriage. He paused when he heard his voice and movements. Then he reached out to Xu Liang. After Xu Liang helped him down, he replied, "Song Si invited me to dinner, and he gave some advice to him after the meal, but he didn't pay attention to the time."

"If he has anything unknown, he can come and ask me. If he feels uncomfortable when he sees me, he can also go to see his second brother. My father is old and try to go out as little as possible in the evening."

"knew."

The old man raised his foot and walked towards the mansion. The old man walked beside him with a lantern. After sending him back to the house, he turned around and returned to his yard.

Huo walked back and forth in the house anxiously. He heard footsteps and hurried to the door to open the door, but there was no abnormality in the voice, "Is my father back?"

"Um."

"That's good, my father didn't drink a drink?"

"No, maybe Song Si really wins his heart. I see him getting much better."

"Yeah?"

Huo's uneasiness became even heavier and asked in a pretentious manner.

"Are the restaurants in the capital open until this time?"

The eldest gentleman paused, "Of course there is no, but with his father's status, they would be willing to delay the closing of the door."

...

Over there, the old man was still very excited while sitting on the chair.

"Old sir, do you want the kitchen to prepare some dishes for you?" Xu Liang asked respectfully.

Today, the old man passed by without supper, and he didn't eat there.

When he asked, the old man felt hungry and was about to let him go, but he thought that he had gone to a restaurant for dinner. He gave a meal and ordered, "You ask the people in the kitchen to heat up the dishes and warm up another pot of wine, and you can drink with me. By the way, tell the people in the kitchen that no one is allowed to tell me about my drinking, otherwise I will drive them out."

Xu Liangying went to the kitchen, and there were only two women guarding him. When he heard that the old man wanted to eat and drink, he hurriedly heated up the cold dishes and warmed up the wine.

"The old man told me not to tell him about drinking, otherwise you should not do it in the mansion."

The two women repeatedly promised not to speak out.

Xu Liang came over with the dishes and wine, and poured a glass of the old man before sitting down.

The old man drank it all and put the empty cup on the table, "Xu Liang, I am so happy today."

Wan'er is back. Even if he is dead now, he will have no regrets.

"So you drink less so that you won't drink too much. When you go to see Miss Sun tomorrow, she smelled it and said you."

The old man laughed happily, "You can't say that, she really did it, before, she..."

...

Xu and his men went home.

Just now, Gu Yi sent Xiao Si back and said that they would come back later and let Grandma Song and the other two go to bed early.

But where were they sleeping? Grandma Song kept thinking about getting engaged. Song Shu and Liu Cuilan were worried about what to do when they met their in-laws?

Several people entered the yard and saw that the lights were still on in the two rooms. They knew that they were not sleeping yet. Song Wanyue winked at Song Si. They had not eaten yet and felt a little hungry, but Xu's eyes were red. If Grandma Song saw it, she would definitely ask.

Song Si sang at the right time, "Grandma, dad, mom, we are back."

The three of them came out of the house and saw that Xu and others were back, Grandma Song walked to the kitchen, "The food is hot for you in the pot, I'll take it out."

There were no lanterns in the yard, only the faint lights in the two houses were revealed, and Grandma Song did not see Xu's red eyes.

Song Si stopped her, "Grandma, you'd better go and rest, I'll take it."

He also often did it at home, but Grandma Song didn't insist, "Take it to the main hall, I'll light it up."

"No need, go to my house to eat, don't disturb you to rest."

Grandma Song waved her hand, "We're fine, we're fine if we go to bed early and sleep a little later."

Song Si scratched his head, "That, Miss Xiao may come here tomorrow..."

Before she finished speaking, she was slapped by Grandma Song, "Why didn't you say it earlier? We have to go to bed quickly! We can keep our energy in full and meet my granddaughter-in-law tomorrow. You can go to bed early even if you have enough."

Song Si and the others breathed a sigh of relief. After they turned around and returned to the room, Song Si and Gu Yi went to the kitchen to bring out the hot meal. They were about to bring it to Song Wanyue's room, but Gu Yi stopped him, "Go to the big brother's house, I have something to say to you and Yue'er."

Xu didn't eat much, so after eating, he went back to the house, and only the three of them were left in the house.

Gu Yi swallowed the food in his mouth, "I think the eldest brother should tell Duke Ding about the eldest aunt being the Xu family."

Song Si's meal was a meal.

Song Wanyue also looked up at him.

"If I were in Qingping County, let alone what happened ten years ago, my father could send someone to investigate even what happened decades ago. But this is the capital and we have no way to intervene. However, Dingguo Duke is different. He has someone to help. The sooner this matter is found, the better."

"There is another thing, let's talk about it first, it's better than the people from Dingguo Duke's Mansion heard it from elsewhere."

“He was right.”

Song Wanyue looked at Song Si, "If the people from Dingguo Duke's Mansion heard it from other places, they would think that we were deliberately hiding it, and might have a grudge against us, and they would not be good for you and Sister Xiao's future. The eldest brother took the initiative to tell them, which means that they were treating them as a family. In this way, the people from Dingguo Duke's Mansion would like you more and would be willing to help us."

Song Si nodded, "I'll go tomorrow morning."

The next day, after breakfast, Song Si took a carriage to the Duke of Dingguo Mansion.

Duke Ding just came back from the morning court, with a look of fatigue. Today in the hall, the emperor asked him how he was chasing the prince's mansion. When he learned that there was no progress, he scolded him in front of all civil and military officials and ordered him to find out as soon as possible.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Song thought about it and decided to tell him the matter, "Grandfather, Song Si has something to tell you."

"Tell me."

"My aunt is Miss Xu Qingwan, who has been missing for many years in the Xu family."
