Chapter 179: Grasping the One-Year-Old



Rong Yubai held the arms of Annan Hou and Rong Shihan, and walked forward happily and skippingly.

Seeing this, Rong Shihan frowned and had a guess in his mind.

"Yubai, how old are you this year?"

He hadn't been this lively since he was six years old.

Rong Yubai has always been a calm person.

He looked funny and weird doing this with his current adult height.

"Abai will be five years old this year, and his birthday will be in a few months. I have to prepare a gift for him then."

Five years old.

hehe……

Rong Shihan laughed in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, I will definitely prepare your favorite gift for you."

It seems that only the legs and speech problems have been cured, but the intelligence is still declining.

He said that a poison that has been in the body for five or six years cannot be cured overnight.

Rong Shihan felt a little relieved.

The joy that surfaced when Annan Hou saw Rong Yubai's health improve sank again in an instant when he heard him tell his age.

Rong Qi Wang followed behind a few people, looking thoughtful.

Judging from Rong Yubai's expression, the children probably don't know that they have severed ties with their family.

Rong Baichuan sent the invitation to the Annan Marquis Mansion probably for the children.

So, should he ask his father to let them go back for the sake of his children?

After all, severing ties was just a verbal statement and there was no substantial proof, and their names were still on the family tree.

Looking at the gate of the General Guardian's Mansion, which was much wider and more magnificent than the Marquis of Annan's Mansion, and the various exotic flowers, plants and rocks inside, Hu's jealousy and unhappiness suddenly surged up in her heart.

At this time, Qin Nanjing saw a group of people coming in and hurriedly went forward to greet them enthusiastically.

"Father-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, Shihan, Yue'e, we've finally got you here. Please take your seats quickly."

I saw Mrs. Hu looking around the yard.

Qin Nanjing immediately said, "This yard is nice, isn't it?"

"The backyard is even better. There are also several yards for the children. It's twice as big as the mansion."

"I have to thank my brother and sister-in-law for this."

"If it weren't for my mother-in-law lending my late mother-in-law's money to help my second brother open a shop, and if it weren't for my second brother and his wife's hard work over the years, we wouldn't have been able to come up with six million taels of silver to build this general's mansion."

Qin Nanjing held Hu's hands, with a sincere expression of gratitude on her face.

"I haven't found the time to say thank you. After the banquet, you must stay and take a good look around. We didn't waste a penny of your money."

The corners of Hu's mouth twitched wildly.

These were all bought with her money!

Six million, four hundred and twenty-six thousand taels of silver!

Six million!!

It takes five or six years of hard work and dedication to earn this money.

When the family was divided, Qin Nanjing used the excuse of lending money and took away all her savings that she had worked hard for five or six years with just a few words.

They used it all to build this mansion!

Mrs. Hu almost vomited a mouthful of old blood.

Hu pulled her hands back and said through gritted teeth, "That's true... Thank you for spending every penny of my money wisely!"

"That's right, that's right..." Qin Nanjing seemed oblivious to the displeasure Hu was displaying, and said with a smile, "I never waste money, especially since it's something I earned with my own skills and effortless words."

Qin Nan smiled gently, but he was stabbing Hu in the back.

But to outsiders, the relationship between these two sisters-in-law is pretty good.

Most of the guests were Rong Baichuan's colleagues in the court.

And everyone in the court knew about the "severance of the relationship" on the ninth day of the first lunar month.

But seeing the situation of the people from the two governments at this moment, everyone was confused.

"Are they...reconciled?"

"It doesn't look like it. Marquis Annan and his men arrived late, and they didn't look very happy. General Rong's family is completely..."

"You're just trying to please someone else," another person said. "It seems General Rong still wants to salvage this family relationship..."

"After all, it's been over thirty years of father-son love and the grace of raising me. General Rong is a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty. He said that in the court at that time in order to protect the Annan Marquisate. You don't know how difficult it was for him to say that..."

"The Annan Marquis' family is so ungrateful." Someone spoke up for Rong Baichuan. "General Rong not only doesn't care about abandoning him in his time of need, but now that he wants to make amends, they still have such a cold attitude!"

"I say, it's better to have no such family affection! Xu Wanli, an outsider knows to plead for General Rong, but as his biological father, he only wants to protect himself... Ha!"

Some people even despised and sneered at Marquis Annan's actions.

Rong Yubai listened to these discussions and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

The auspicious time has arrived, and the morning and evening birthday ceremony officially begins.

A child’s first birthday ceremony should be performed by the elders in the family.

Everyone turned their eyes to Marquis Annan, who had never smiled since entering the room.

Rong Xuqing took Rong Chaoxi's hand and looked over.

She had already taken one step out, pursed her lips tightly, not knowing whether to take Chaoxi with her.

Marquis Annan felt the gazes of those around him. With so many court officials watching him, he couldn't put on airs, so he just stood up.

But he never expected that Rong Chaoxi had already thrown himself into the arms of Master Qin.

"Grandpa...I want Grandpa to hug me every day...I don't want a grandpa who I haven't hugged before."

The little fellow's cry was so loud that it hit Marquis Annan's face like a slap in the face.

Everyone was stunned at first, and then looked at him strangely.
