Seeing his daughter come to wish him a Happy New Year, he was overwhelmed with emotion.

Over the years, apart from subordinates or officials of the same rank who would come to wish him a Happy New Year, no one else had come.

Each time someone leaves, only a cold and desolate room remains.

Unexpectedly, after so many years of loneliness, he one day learned that he had a daughter, and that this daughter was now by his side.

Heaven has indeed been kind to him!

As he watched his daughter obediently wish him a Happy New Year, his eyes welled up with tears, but fearing she would see, he hurriedly suppressed the tears.

Rong Qingqing didn't notice his strange behavior. After wishing him a Happy New Year, she straightened up and said, "Father, after breakfast, I'd like to go wish my grandmother a Happy New Year."

Xiao Zhen nodded, "Of course, I'll have Zhao Yong take you there in a bit."

"Okay." Rong Qingqing smiled sweetly.

After the father and daughter finished their meal together, Rong Qingqing prepared some gifts, and Xiao Zhen personally escorted her to the carriage.

No sooner had Rong Qingqing left than Guo Ziyi arrived with his son Guo Luolin to offer New Year's greetings. After that, many other officials also came to Xiao Zhen's door to pay their respects.

Rong Qingqing was unaware of what had happened at the Prince Su's residence. After getting into the carriage, she went directly to the Rong residence.

Upon seeing her, the servants of the Rong household immediately bowed to her.

She waved her hand and, with Xiao Tao and Xing Chun, headed directly towards Deshou Hall.

Someone had already gone ahead to inform Old Madam Rong.

When Madam Rong learned of this, she was overjoyed and personally went outside to greet Rong Qingqing.

"Grandmother, why are you out here?" Rong Qingqing saw her and quickly walked over to greet her.

Although it's a sunny day today, the temperature is still low.

"It's alright, your grandmother isn't that weak." Old Madam Rong held her hand kindly, but when she saw Xiao Tao and Xing Chun behind her, each carrying large and small bags, she couldn't help but frown. "I'm already very happy that you came to see me. Why did you bring so much stuff?"

"Although they are just some cheap things, they are still a token of my appreciation," Rong Qingqing said with a smile.

Hearing this, Madam Rong felt very touched and patted her hand, "Come on, let's go inside and talk."

“Okay.” Rong Qingqing was about to follow her into the house when she suddenly saw a strange woman standing to the side.

The woman was extremely quiet and well-mannered, probably in her early twenties, thin, but with fair skin.

When Rong Qingqing looked over, he gave her a kind smile.

Rong Qingqing was somewhat surprised, but she quickly remembered what Xiao Tao had told her before the New Year.

Could this woman in front of him be the widow that Rong Shiqing picked up on the road before the New Year?

When Madam Rong saw that her gaze was fixed on the woman, she suddenly remembered something and smiled, "How could I forget? Qingqing, this is Fang Niang."

When Rong Qingqing saw that she was practically beaming with joy when she mentioned this Fang Niang, she knew she had guessed correctly, so she nodded to Fang Niang and said, "Hello."

Fang Niang was flattered and stepped forward to bow, "Young Miss."

Rong Qingqing quickly reached out to help her up, saying, "No need for such formalities."

"Alright, alright, we're all family, no need for formalities, come inside and let's talk," said Madam Rong, looking at the two with affection.

The three of them went inside together, sat down, and exchanged pleasantries.

Fang Niang was quite sensible. Knowing that there were some things that were inconvenient for the grandmother and grandson to talk about while she was there, she made an excuse to leave after sitting for a while.

As soon as she left, Rong Qingqing asked curiously, "Grandmother, how did Fang Niang and Lord Rong meet? Is it true, as the outside world says, that Fang Niang saved him, and then he brought her home to live with him to repay her kindness?"
