Taking the small dagger decorated with various gems, Xu Wen's tears rolled down and she choked slightly, "This is the dagger. I drew the pattern and my father made it himself. It's what I have been thinking about for more than ten years..." Before she finished speaking, Xu Wen threw herself into her father's arms and cried bitterly.

Her crying made the Marquis' wife cry too. She came forward and hugged Xu Wen's back, silently shedding tears.

Lord Yongyi, who had never shed a tear in his life, finally shed a tear. Men don't cry easily, but only when they're heartbroken. But these tears were tears of joy at having lost something and then found it again.

Finally, Lord Yongyi coughed lightly and said, "Stop crying! Your return is a happy occasion, but you shouldn't cry all the time." He then patted his wife on the back and said, "Haven't you been looking forward to Wenwen's return? Aren't you happy that she's back?"

As soon as these words came out, the Marquis's wife stopped crying instantly. She raised her head and snarled at the Marquis Yongyi with red eyes: "Nonsense, of course I'm happy that my daughter is back. This is too much."

Xu Wen's tears were shattered by her parents' words. She emerged from her father's arms, leaned against her mother's side, and said, "It's my fault. Seeing you, you and me, I can't help but feel wronged, as if I've been wronged. Actually, it's just that I've become spoiled now that I'm home and have someone to rely on."

Hearing that he was wronged, Lord Yongyi glared and said, "But that brat was wronged by you? I won't break his legs!"

After being patted lightly by the Marquis' wife, Lord Yongyi finally came to his senses and changed his tone, "But did that brat wrong you? I'll go break his legs!"

Xu Wen quickly said, "No, no, your daughter is not a pushover. No one has ever wronged me. I even gave him a lesson when I returned to the capital."

Lord Yongyi stroked his beard and said with a teachable expression, "Well done, waiter. I'll get him a piece of Hui ink when we get back home."

Knowing that his father was teaching his younger brother behind his back, Xu Wen said to the Marquis' wife with a smile: "Mother, your daughter has such a father and brother, she will not suffer any loss."

Pointing at Xu Wen's nose, the Marquis's wife said, "It's better not to suffer any loss. Those who say that suffering a loss is a blessing are all lies. We can't live a good life, so why suffer any loss?"

Nodding obediently, the mother and daughter resumed their girlish conversation. Lord Yongyi smiled as he watched them talk, occasionally pouring tea and serving snacks.

The carriage stopped shortly afterwards, and the servant outside the door announced, "Master, we have arrived at the Marquis' Mansion."

Marquis Yongyi hummed a faint "hmm" and then got out of the carriage first. Then the Marquis's maid came up, lifted the curtain, and helped the Marquis down. After that, Qiu Ling came up to meet Xu Wen.

About twenty people stood neatly at the entrance to the Marquis's residence. They included the concubines and children of the Marquis Yongyi, and the concubines and children of the Crown Prince. Upon seeing Xu Wen, everyone bowed in greeting. Then, the Marquis Yongyi, his wife, and the three siblings began to head into the residence.

A strange voice came from behind. The prince's legitimate daughter Xu Qing knelt down and said, "Aunt, I apologize to you on behalf of my mother."

The Marquis's face was extremely grim. She winked at the nanny beside her, who stepped forward and covered Xu Qing's mouth. Several servants followed and formed a circle, blocking the two people's view.

Xu Wen's expression remained unchanged as she dragged the Marquis' wife towards the mansion, but she felt a little sad in her heart. Jin's daughter was indeed like her, with a bit of a brain problem.
