Zhao Ziqi's face changed when she was rebuked in front of her daughter-in-law. She wanted to turn around and leave, but she couldn't bear to leave Xiao Lingdang, who was staring at her with bright, curious eyes. So she walked up to Zhou Junhong and reached out her hand to Xiao Lingdang. Xiao Lingdang looked puzzled and jumped into Zhao Ziqi's arms. The interaction between the grandmother and granddaughter surprised Xu Shao.

Zhao Ziqi tried to save face by saying, "I won't argue with you. I'm going to go with Xiaolingdang to see the koi in the flower garden."

Zhou Junhong watched Zhao Ziqi walk away with the child in his arms, then looked at her mother-in-law. She heard her mother-in-law sneer twice and say, "He really likes our little Lingdang, but he doesn't even know if I want our little Lingdang to be intimate with him. Junhong, come on, let's go and take little Lingdang back."

Since they were back home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, they naturally had to visit their relatives. Zhou Junhong specially brought back a lot of local specialties from Tai'an, and the next day she and Xu Shao, carrying a small bell, delivered them to each of them.

The gift was specially prepared for the old lady. Xu Shao didn't want to go, but she couldn't let Zhou Junhong go alone with the child, so she simply went with her.

The old lady loved children, and when she saw the exquisitely carved little bell, she was naturally overjoyed. When Zhou Junhong told her about her experiences in Tai'an, she nodded repeatedly. It was rare for her to be so kind to Xu Shao. When Xu Shao was about to leave, the old lady took Xu Shao's hand and earnestly instructed her not to argue with her mother-in-law anymore, but to just live a good life with her son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter.

Xu Shao blushed deeply after being reprimanded by the old lady. Recalling her past behavior, she left the old lady's courtyard with a look of shame.

Xu Di told Chen Zhaoci and Xu Zhi what he knew. Xu Zhi had only seen the newborn baby once when Zhou Junhong gave birth. She couldn't imagine how beautiful Xiao Lingdang must be to make Zhao Ziqi, who was carefree, eagerly carry her around the mansion.

Chen Zhaoci, however, said, "It's one thing that Xiaolingdang is pretty and cute, but I guess it's because your uncle is getting old and his temperament is different from when he was young. He likes children."
