The eldest lady glared at Xie Xiuzhu again and said quickly, "Please come in."

Meng Huaichuan walked in holding Shu'er: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law."

The eldest lady came forward with a smile and took Shu'er over. "You and Xiuzhu have been here for a while. Come and sit down. The banquet is about to begin."

The master also ordered someone to bring a stool for him to sit next to him.

Meng Huaichuan said with a smile: "Xiuzhu is homesick and is anxious to go first, so I let her go first."

He glanced at Xie Xiuzhu, who snorted.

"Okay, okay, sit down and have your meal first." The eldest lady said hurriedly.

It was a rare family dinner with so many people, and it was very lively.

After the banquet was over, Meng Huaichuan took Xie Xiuzhu to talk in the deserted garden.

"I was wrong, okay, ancestor? I really didn't mean to irritate you yesterday. Why did you come here without saying a word?"

"snort!"

"Can I take you to play polo next time?"

"I don't care!"

"As for hunting in the Yudai Mountains, it's spring now, and I was thinking of taking you to Yudai Mountain to hunt rabbits."

Xie Xiuzhu rolled her eyes and her attitude softened a little.

Meng Huaichuan came over with a grin on his face. "I recently got a docile horse. It's very docile and hasn't recognized its owner yet. I was thinking of giving it to you."

Xie Xiuzhu blinked: "What horse?"

"You'll know when I show you tomorrow." Meng Huaichuan took her hand and shook it, "You'll definitely like it."

In the octagonal pavilion on the distant rockery, Wanruo was sitting with her children drinking tea. From a distance, she saw the two of them getting together again.

"No wonder the Marquis's wife is worried all the time. These two enemies can never stop fighting." Wanruo shook her head.

Cuizhu couldn't help laughing: "There aren't many people in this mansion, so it must be quite lively."

"I wonder who Shu'er will look like in the future." Wanruo tilted her head to look.

Three children were playing nearby. Zhenzhen raised her hand and said, "Give me a hug."

Shu'er grinned and opened her two short little arms to hug her.

After a while, Xie Xiuzhu came to the octagonal pavilion happily to find Wanruo.

"And?" Wanruo glanced at her.

"Who's arguing with him! I'm just too lazy to bother with him!" Xie Xiuzhu snorted.

"Where is the young marquis?"

"Oh, they are meeting in the study."

study.

"Has there been any letter from the border?" Xie Xianyu asked.

Meng Huaichuan said lazily: "My father is too lazy to write to me, but it must be for nothing, otherwise my mother would definitely receive the letter. What's wrong?"

"No secret letters have been sent from the border recently."

Normally, the secret letter should be delivered once a month to report on the border situation, but it is almost the middle of the month and the secret letter has not been delivered yet.

"Maybe there's another emergency at the border? My dad is always like this. When a war breaks out, he doesn't bother to take care of anything else, not even me."

Xie Xianyu pondered for a moment and felt that it made sense. Not to mention that Marquis Ding'an was loyal to his emperor and patriotic, the entire Meng family was in the capital, so how could there be any unusual movement?

Xie Xianyu didn't ask any more questions, only saying, "Then I'll take a look."

Meng Huaichuan hadn't left yet, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Xie Xianyu looked up at him: "Anything else?"

Meng Huaichuan frowned slightly: "Yes, there is something."

Xie Xianyi thought it was about Marquis Ding'an, and his eyes darkened slightly: "What is it?"

Meng Huaichuan frowned: "Xiuzhu gets angry with me all the time. Sometimes I don't know how I provoke her. Do all women like to get angry?"

“…”

Xie Xianyu had a blank expression on his face: "I don't know. Wanruo never gets angry with me."
