Wearing a simple white dress, with her hair tied in a neat ponytail and a rosy face, isn't that their Yan'er?

Bei Yan jumped off the carriage, took out some silver from his storage ring and gave it to the driver, then ran towards the four of them with a big smile.

"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, Brother, I'm back! Hey? Where's my brother?" Not seeing his older brother's face, Bei Yan asked curiously.

"Little sister, your big brother is here." Bei Yifeng peeked out from behind a large bouquet of flowers with difficulty.

"Pfft, what are you doing, big brother? Is this a gift for me?" Seeing his big brother's comical appearance, Bei Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Yes, you said you like pretty flowers, so your older brother bought one of each kind of beautiful flower and gave it to you."

Bei Yifeng scratched his head, a little embarrassed. Who knew there were so many beautiful flowers?

"Oh dear, Yan'er, come here, let Grandpa take a look. You've gotten so thin! Have you been eating? Is the food bad?"

Bei Hong walked around Bei Yan three times, looking him up and down, his brows furrowed with heartache.

Speaking of food, Bei Yan thought of the past six months of hard work and struggle for food.

Her little mouth pouted, "Grandpa, Daddy, Mommy, Brother, I want to eat something delicious!!!"

That roar contained the bitterness of cooking for herself for more than half a year. It was so hard for her!

All four of them were startled by Bei Yan's sudden shout. After they came to their senses, they looked at Bei Yan, who had obviously lost a lot of weight, and their hearts clenched.

Good heavens! What suffering their precious child has endured!

"Eat, eat, eat! I've prepared a huge table of delicious food for you. Come on, come on, let's go inside."

Lin Wan spoke first, looking at her youngest daughter with heartache. Bei Xiao turned around and instructed the servants to prepare the dishes.

Holding flowers in one arm and leading Bei Yan by the other, Bei Yifeng walked into the house, thinking to herself...

This time when my little sister is leaving, I need to stuff her storage ring with lots of good food so she won't go hungry again.

Look how thin his little sister has become! Her wrists are so much thinner!

“

Watching Bei Yan wolf down her food, the whole family felt even more heartache for her.

What a terrible ordeal their precious child has suffered!

Bei Yifeng was also a bit naive, asking whatever came to mind, "Little sister, doesn't the Grand Elder feed you?"

Bei Yan let out a burp, wiped his mouth, and then replied, "Here, we can eat the whole mountain as we please."

"Then why are you so hungry?" Bei Yifeng didn't finish his sentence, afraid that Bei Yan would be pleased to hear it.

"Self-reliance leads to abundance." Bei Yan uttered the second half of the sentence with a bitter and resentful expression. She felt that she and her two senior brothers were truly a miserable group.

The Northern Family "..."

After a long pause, Bei Xiao finally broke the awkward silence, "Ahem, I've long heard that Elder Gu's teaching style is unique; he must have his reasons."

“Yes, yes, Elder Gu is a very famous figure in our Qianchen. It must have been his own intention.” Bei Hong nodded in agreement.

Bei Yan blinked and looked at his grandfather and father: Don't you have any conscience?

On the other side, the Shangguan family.

The Shangguan family members watched as their two sons/grandsons devoured the food like a whirlwind, their brows furrowed and their expressions indescribable.

The whole family stopped eating, put down their chopsticks, and quietly watched the two eat until all the food on the table disappeared at a visible speed.

Shangguan Shu and Shangguan Mu let out a satisfied burp, then leaned back in their chairs and sighed comfortably, "Life, ah~"

The Shangguan family members: "...???"
