The old man woke up just as it was getting dark. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xu Yan sitting on a low stool, holding his hand tightly, and his sadness was less.

"Grandfather, you're awake."

Xu Yan showed joy on his face, got up and helped him up, took a pillow and placed it behind him, and went to the table to pour a glass of water.

The old man took it and took a few sips.

"How is your mother?"

"Mom is fine. He has just come to see you and went back to see you still asleep."

The old man nodded, "You should take care of her more."

"The grandson knows."

Song Wanyue pushed the door open and saw the old man sitting on the bed, saying, "I guess my great-grandfather should wake up too. We will have dinner after a break. Today's supper was made by me, Gu Yi and several cousins. My great-grandfather tasted our craftsmanship."

The old man smiled, smiling sincerely. He understood that these children wanted to comfort him, "Then I have to try it out. Whoever did the best is good will have the reward."

"That must be me."

Song Wanyue moved a small stool and sat down beside the bed, "You don't know that my cousins ​​are really spoiled and can't do anything. Since I held the firewood, Gu Yi and I were taught step by step, let alone cooking."

"Then did they do it?"

"I made it, the scrambled eggs made by my eldest cousin, the second cousin tripped up a cold dish, and the peanuts cooked by my third cousin, I have tasted it. It's not poisonous and can be eaten."

The old man laughed out loud by her words, "Then you bring it to me and try it."

"Okay, great-grandfather wait."

Song Wanyue went out.

Looking at her back, the smile on the old man's face became deeper and deeper.

He handed the cup to Xu Yan, got out of bed, put on his shoes, and was about to ask Xu Yan to support him to the dining room when a sound came from the yard, and then the door of the house was opened.

Xu Shan and Xu Hui came in with a huge table. Seeing the old man looking at them, they quickly put the table down and bowed in a regular manner, "Great-grandfather."

"Two cousins, you guys are about to put the table in place, I'm going to burn it to death."

Before the old man could speak, Song Wanyue walked in quickly with a plate, shouting while walking.

"Have it done quickly."

The two hurriedly put the table, Song Wanyue put the plate on it, turned around and walked out, and did not forget to greet them, "There are still a few dishes, my cousin will help you bring them, otherwise it will be cold in a while."

The two of them walked out quickly.

Xu Yan laughed silently, supported the old man to sit at the table, and said with a smile, "I guess Feng'er is already stupid. He has never done such a thing before."

The old man also laughed, "It's time for them to exercise."

Soon, a few people came over together. Xu Feng, Xu Hui, Xu Rui and Gu Yi each served two dishes of dishes. Song Wanyue walked at the end, holding a bowl and chopsticks, followed by a few servants, and carrying a stool.

After letting go, the servant retreated. Song Wanyue pulled Gu Yi and sat down. Xu Feng and the other two looked at each other and sat down.

"This is made by my cousin..."

Song Wanyue pointed to a plate of scrambled eggs that were slightly black and complained, "Great-grandfather, you don't know that my cousin is so stupid that there are thirty or forty eggs in the kitchen. He has all caused trouble, so he can cook such a plate."

"It doesn't look very good."

As he spoke, the old man picked up the chopsticks, picked up a large piece and put it in his mouth, and slowly chewed it and swallowed it. "It tastes very good and deserves a reward."

Song Wanyue slapped her forehead and said, "Great-grandfather, how hungry are you? You actually think such a dish is delicious."

"You girl..."

The old man couldn't help laughing, "It's already great that Wanger did this for the first time."

After hearing that he did not blame him, Xu Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Today, Song Wanyue went to find him and said that she would ask them to make a meal for her great-grandfather to be happy. He was always nervous, fearing that his great-grandfather would be unhappy. Now it seems that Yue'er's idea is right.

I relaxed and my voice became lighter, "Yes, it was already very good for me to do this for the first time. It was not like Gu Yi, but I could only burn fire."

When it comes to burning the fire, Song Wanyue complained even more. "My cousin is so embarrassed to say, you and your second and third cousin can't even light the fire. If it weren't for Gu Yi's fire, we wouldn't have any food tonight. If it were about credit, Gu Yi's greatest, and his great-grandfather would have to reward him more later."

"Okay, great-grandfather gave him more, more than the few of them combined."

"Thank you, my great-grandfather."

The laughter came from the room, and Xu Liang smiled unconsciously, and he knew that Miss Sun had a way to make the old man happy.

...

It was getting dark.

Wen's mansion fell into unprecedented silence.

"Father, please eat a little bit."

Wen Zhong held the bowl and persuaded him.

After putting Huo's hands into the coffin, the eldest gentleman could no longer hold on and fainted. After waking up, he didn't speak and just lay down straight.

"I'm not hungry, please take it away."

"Father, my mother has gone. If you have another couple of things, how can Zhong'er live?"

The eldest gentleman closed his eyes.

"You go out, I'll be quiet by myself."

Wen Zhong paused slightly, and his drooping eyelashes covered the look in his eyes.

"Then my father had a good rest and call someone outside if he needed anything."

...

Wen Zhong came out of the courtyard and walked towards the mourning hall. He ordered, "Go and tell my wife, I will be vigilant tonight and I won't go back."

There are very few people coming to pay their respects today. I don’t know if it’s because of avoiding suspicion or hearing some wind. If it’s because of avoiding suspicion, it’s better to say, if it’s because of hearing some wind...

He had to take advantage of the wake to think about what was missing back then.

The housekeeper hurried over from a distance, "Master, Duke Qi is here."

Wen Zhong frowned. It was obvious that he was not here to pay his respects at this time. Could it be that he was here to withdraw from the marriage?

"If you go and welcome people in, I will say that I am too sad and cannot go out to greet them."

The butler should have gone to the door and welcomed Duke of Qi in.

Wen Zhong was wearing a mourning clothes and was full of grief. He stood at the door of the flower hall with a shaky look. Seeing the Duke of Qi coming in, he saluted, "Wen Zhong cannot go out to greet him, so please forgive me."

Duke Qi held him with both hands, "Mr. Wen was mourning, and people have passed away, so he must consider the living."

"Thank you, Duke, for your kindness, please come in."

He welcomed the people into the flower hall and ordered them to serve tea, and then waved all the people who served them back. Wen Zhong did not beat around the bush and asked, "What's the matter with the Duke of the State coming so late?"

“There is one.”

Wen Zhong felt a little sank, "Please tell me, please."

"We are also a family, so I just said it. Now that the Xu family is biting you, what can Minister Wen do to deal with it?"

"I was indeed at fault for what happened back then, so it was the right thing the Xu family should sue me, but I have never done anything else, and they can't blame me."

Duke Qi shook his head, "You are so bad that the Xu family has driven out the Grand Master. You can imagine that they want to punish all the participants in the past. Even if you are fine, they might find something else to frame you. If Mr. Wen didn't make plans earlier, the result would probably not be very good."

Wen Zhong paused and asked tentatively, "Dude, what good is there?"

The Duke of Qi stood up, took out a portrait and placed it in front of him.
