"Fan'er is back." Old Madam Chen smiled broadly and invited Chen Fan to sit down beside her.

Lin's mother immediately added another set of bowls and chopsticks.

The grandmother and grandson had breakfast together.

After the meal, Chen Fan accompanied Madam Chen for a walk in the garden.

Chen Fan recounted the amusing incidents that had occurred outside, making Old Madam Chen laugh out loud repeatedly.

The two arrived at the pavilion.

Lin's mother served pastries and tea, and stood respectfully to the side.

Old Madam Chen held Chen Fan's hand, "Fan'er, you won't be staying long after you come back this time; you'll be heading to the capital soon."

“Grandma still remembers.”

“You child, what is there that your grandmother doesn’t remember?”

Chen Fan smiled, his face beaming with sunshine. "Grandma is the best."

"Alright, enough with the nice words. Tell me, how are your preparations for this trip to the capital going?"

"My grandson has packed all the luggage. He's going to the capital in a few days. He's mainly coming back to see his grandmother."

"Grandmother has inquired and found out that the chief examiner this time is Minister Su of the Ministry of Revenue in the capital. When you go, you must pay a visit to Minister Su."

"This...Grandmother, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Chen Fan paused for a moment.

He was worried about this matter.

I heard that many people have already visited Minister Su and brought him gifts.

“What’s wrong with that? I’ve already asked Old Master Tao to pass on the message and prepare a gift for your visit to Lord Su. I’ve also prepared one for you.”

"Grandmother." Chen Fan excitedly tried to kneel down again, but was stopped by the old lady Chen.

"You child, you're about to become an official, why do you still kneel before this old woman all the time?" Old Madam Chen said with a loving expression.

“No matter how far my grandson goes, you will always be his grandmother. It is only right for him to kneel before his grandmother.” Chen Fan said, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.

Madam Chen wanted to help him up again, but Lin Ma, who was standing next to her, spoke up.

"Look, the second young master is the most filial."

"That's right. People say that daughters are like warm little cotton-padded jackets, but I think Fan'er is the most thoughtful."

The grandfather and grandson chatted happily. Chen Fan also ate dinner at Xiaju. After dinner, he returned to his Qiushuangyuan. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the items placed on the table and immediately curled one corner of his mouth into a cold smile.
