Suddenly, everyone's eyes began to dart back and forth between Gu Xiaoran and the carriage.

They were surprised by Gu Xiaoran's shrunken figure and wondered if Gu Qian had come along.

"Master." Gu Qian waved, then slowly felt his way to lift the carriage curtain.

Then, he groped his way off the carriage and stood quietly in front of everyone.

His calm eyes remained unfocused; he simply nodded indifferently at the sounds he heard, addressing his family elders.

"Second Uncle, Second Aunt."

Beside him, Qiu Dayu, Xia Minhan, and the four deputy generals, including Ling Qi, all lowered their eyes.

Qiu Dafu's breathing became somewhat sluggish, and he couldn't help but lower his eyes, his face filled with regret.

Jiang Liu was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Qiu Yan with a questioning gaze.

Qiu Ling'er and Qiu Xu were the same, and Qiu Xu's entire body became stiff.

“Senior brother.” He knew that his senior brother must have suffered a lot on the battlefield.

“Qian’er…” Li Zheng looked into Gu Qian’s calm and unwavering eyes.

In the blink of an eye, his entire body was struck as if by a bolt from the blue.

"Disciple is back." Gu Qian sensed the abnormality around him and stiffly forced a smile.

Li Zheng turned his gaze to Qiu Yan.

Apart from Qiu Dafu, everyone else turned their attention to Qiu Yan.

Qiu Dafu already knew the truth, and simply lowered his eyes in silence.

Qiu Yan: "Gu Qian unfortunately lost his sight on the battlefield. But don't worry, Uncle Li, he'll be alright."

Li Zheng nodded, stared blankly at Gu Qian for a moment, and said only two words, "Go home."

"Hmm." Looking up again, Gu Qian's previous dejected mood had completely vanished, replaced by a faint smile.

"Yan Yan, it's rare for you to come home. You must have a lot to say to your second uncle and aunt, as well as Ling'er and A Xu. Hurry up and go back, it's cold outside."

Qiu Yan: "Okay."

Gu Qian followed his master into the courtyard.

Ling Qi, Ling Ba, Ling Yun, and Ling Zhi exchanged glances, and finally, without prior arrangement, they all followed behind Gu Qian.

Qiu Yan watched Gu Qian's retreating figure, a faint smile playing on her lips.

She knew that just now, Gu Qian had recovered from the pain of losing his sight.

She secretly thought to herself that she would definitely return a pair of bright eyes to Gu Qian.

Surrounded by her family, Qiu Yan returned to the courtyard.

The joy of returning home is always captivating.

However, because of Gu Qian, there was also a sense of regret.

Feeling the love and care from her second uncle and aunt, Qiu Yan felt that such days were truly precious.

Jiang Liu led Cui Zhu into the kitchen.

Tonight, Xiaoyan and her fifth uncle are both back, and she's going to show off her new cooking skills that she learned last year.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Dafu followed behind.

"Liu'er, you rest, I'll cook."

Jiang Liu: "No need, I'll do it. You go and keep Xiaoyan and the others company."

"I'll do it!" Qiu Dafu insisted.

Cuizhu thought to herself: Miss, son-in-law, if you two keep arguing like this, when will Miss Qiu Yan and Uncle Wu be able to have a sumptuous dinner?

Just as the two were arguing about who should cook,

Suddenly, a loud "whoosh" was heard.

Little Jingyuan's cry attracted their attention.

Qiu Yan and Qiu Dayu were also attracted at the same time.

"Child? Whose child?" Qiu Dayu exclaimed in surprise.

Hearing the crying, Ling Qi turned back, only to hear Qiu Dafu say something...

"Your nephew."

He ran straight towards his aunt's house.

"Nephew? Second brother, your child?" Qiu Dayu's face lit up with a smile as he rushed toward the source of the voice.

Qiu Yan then learned that her second uncle and aunt had already had a child.
