Old Master Qin pulled the butler over and introduced him to Tonghua with a smile, "This is my distant cousin. You can just call him Uncle Zhang."

As soon as he finished speaking, an intriguing expression appeared on Qin Zun's face.

He looked at his parents calmly, their expressions did not change at all, as if they had expected this.

I realized that the old man must have told them something in advance.

I just don’t know what the old man will do this time.

Tonghua also smiled and said hello, Uncle Zhang.

"Let's go in and have dinner first. We've been waiting for you for a long time." Old Master Qin looked at them with a loving face.

Everyone followed him into the restaurant and found a seat to sit down, including Uncle Zhang.

Uncle Zhang has worked in the Qin family for more than two years. Old Master Qin has long regarded him as a member of the Qin family and trusts him very much. Even some younger generations of the Qin family will honestly call him Uncle Zhang when they see him.

The old man also came from a poor family and was not so particular. Usually, he would ask him to eat together. Only when there were guests and he had a lot of things to take care of would he eat separately.

This also shows that the old man treats fairy tales as his own family.

There are already nine dishes on the table, and several people are busy going back and forth in the kitchen, serving the dishes.

Tonghua looked at them curiously, and Old Master Qin took the initiative to explain to her: "I knew you were coming here, this is the maid I hired specially."

In fact, not only did the old man not hire a maid, he gave most of the servants a holiday. Although he was the only one living in the old house on weekdays, the large garden, lawn, and house needed people to weed, trim branches, and clean, so a lot of manpower was needed. However, in order to prevent Tonghua from getting suspicious, only a few people were left to cook today.

Tonghua nodded in understanding and said, "Grandpa, there are only two of us. There's no need to go through so much trouble. If there's no one to cook, you could have informed us earlier and I could have come over to help."

These words immediately made the old man very happy. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. The other younger generations in the family were not as sensible as his eldest grandson's wife. Let alone asking them to help with cooking, it would be good if one or two of them could take time to accompany him more.

When asked, he said he didn't have time and had something important to do. Didn't he understand what these little guys were thinking? It was nothing more than that they felt bored accompanying an old man and made excuses to avoid it.

The two of them immediately chatted back and forth at the dinner table and had a great time.

Qin Zun narrowed his eyes slightly.

This woman is good at trying to please the old man. Knowing that he is lonely, she caters to his preferences and uses sweet words.

After dinner, Old Master Qin called Qin Zun to his study to talk. He sat behind the desk, looked at Qin Zun, and asked cheerfully, "What do you think of that girl after spending these few days together?"

Qin Zun didn't say that he was on a business trip these days. The two of them had hardly spent any time together, so he could only be vague about it.

Seeing this, Mr. Qin did not force him. After all, they had only been together for a short time and their feelings were not deep. As long as their relationship was better than he imagined, that was enough. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

He believed that one day the two of them would be able to live in harmony, and when that time came, he would look forward to holding his great-grandson.

"By the way, I didn't tell Tong Yatou your true identity."

"As expected, I guessed it a little." Qin Zun held his forehead helplessly. Seeing that more than half of the people in the old house were gone today, he guessed it was because of the fairy tale, but he did not say it out loud.

"I thought you wouldn't like people coming after our family, so I told Tong Yatou that you were a company manager and that the company even assigned you a driver. I also specifically told them to keep a low profile today, so don't let anything slip."

"That's not necessary."

Qin Zun felt helpless about his grandfather's behavior. The old man was already old, but he still wanted to play so much. However, since he wanted to play, he would just play with him.

At this time, Song Yirou was taking Tonghua for a walk in the garden to help digestion.

At first, Tonghua looked nervous and was ready to put all his energy into the response.

After all, it is said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been natural enemies since ancient times. She got married quickly, and this was the first time she met her mother-in-law in person. She didn't know what her personality was like. If she said something rude and offended her, she would be in trouble in the future.

But later, Song Yirou was friendly and calm, and kept introducing the types of flowers in the garden. Gradually, Tonghua let down her guard and began to relax.

When the time was almost up, Song Yirou pretended to ask casually, "You're getting married so soon, aren't your parents worried that you're not trusting the right person?"

Tonghua shook her head, gently stroked the lilies beside her, and whispered, "My mother died a long time ago. As for my father and stepmother, they probably wish I could get married soon."

Hearing this, Song Yirou showed a surprised expression.

"Are you a blended family?"

"Well, after my mother died, my father remarried and had a younger brother with my stepmother."

After hearing what she said, Song Yirou felt even more repulsed by this daughter-in-law. Not only was she not a good match for her, she also came from an ordinary background and had a complicated family background.

I don’t know why the old man let his eldest son marry such a woman.

Gradually, her tone became distant: "My eldest son has a strange personality and is difficult to get along with. Can you get along with him?"

"Mr. Qin has been on a business trip these days and hasn't been home much." Tonghua answered honestly.

Tonghua felt a little strange. Why would she speak ill of her own son and even ask if she had entrusted him to the wrong person? Would there be a mother who would belittle her son in front of others? And when she heard that her son was busy with work, she didn't react at all. This was too abnormal.

Although her stepmother was not good to her, she was definitely a good mother to her own son. Not to mention belittling her son in front of others, even if other people said something bad about Tong Zhengyuan, she would go to their house in person and scold the other family.

In fact, fairy tales sometimes envy the feeling of being protected for no reason.

When she saw her eldest son holding hands with his daughter-in-law, she was worried that her son had fallen in love with her. But when she tried to find out, she found something unusual.

If their relationship was really good, why would they go on a business trip right after getting married, and even their way of addressing each other was so unfamiliar?

She guessed the inside story right away.

They were simply afraid of making the old man angry, so they pretended to be affectionate just for show.

Before the young couple arrived at the old house, the old man was afraid that their identities would scare his grandson's wife, so he repeatedly warned others not to reveal their identities and to keep a low profile.

But they didn't expect that the other party was also acting with them.

This is really ironic.

Seeing that their goal had been achieved, Song Yirou casually said, "It's getting late, let's go back."
