After seeing Jinhe, Lord Xiao not only did not leave, but refused to leave.
It is called: making up for family ties.
Lord Xiao accompanied Jinhe to play in Yunjing Courtyard for the whole morning.
Perhaps the time spent enjoying family happiness always passes quickly, and before we knew it, it was lunch time.
Lord Xiao was led by Xiaobai to wash his hands, and then went to the dining hall to wait.
Li Nian walked in accompanied by a woman in a crimson long dress.
Lord Xiao asked in surprise, "Daughter-in-law, who is this person next to you?"
Li Nian was stunned by his question, then replied, "My Lord, she is Yun Er Niang."
Yun Erniang tugged at her sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Who is he?"
Li Nian was deeply surprised. They were obviously relatives, so how could they not know each other?
She quickly introduced: "This is Lord Xiao."
Upon hearing this, Yun Erniang's face suddenly became panicked. She hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply to Marquis Xiao, apologizing respectfully, "Marquis, please forgive me. I am so blind that I didn't recognize you."
Lord Xiao waved his hand and said casually, "It's okay, it's okay. This is the first time I've met your wife, so it's normal that we don't know each other."
After the greetings, everyone took their seats and the maids in the dining hall began to serve the dishes.
Lord Xiao looked around and found that his granddaughter was not at the dinner table. He immediately asked, "Where is my granddaughter? Why hasn't she come yet?"
Li Nian explained: "The child is still young, and there is someone feeding her."
Lord Xiao frowned and said in a serious tone: "The whole family should sit at the same table, so that it will be lively."
After saying that, he turned sideways to Xiaobai who was waiting beside him and ordered: "Go and bring my darling granddaughter here quickly."
Xiaobai looked at Li Nian, and when he saw her nod, he immediately responded and left.
After a while, Dao Yu Niang came in holding Jin He, and Xiao Ying followed behind with a small bowl specially used for Jin He. The small wooden bowl also contained supplementary food cooked specifically for Jin He.
When Yu Niang walked into the door holding Jin He, Lord Xiao hurriedly stood up to greet her.
His face was full of loving smiles. He carefully took the child and then sat down with Jinhe in his arms.
He looked at Xiaoying and said, "Hurry up and serve my granddaughter's food. Don't let her starve."
Lord Xiao played with Jinhe for the whole morning. Jinhe was a bold little girl. When she was held by Lord Xiao, she not only did not cry or make a fuss, but even giggled happily.
Lord Xiao held Jinhe in one hand and began to feed her with the other hand in a very professional manner.
He fed the child with a smile and gently coaxed the child to call him grandfather.
Yun Erniang, watching from the side, was filled with joy and softly advised, "My Lord, don't just focus on feeding the child. Eat it yourself while it's hot."
Lord Xiao was in a good mood, so his attitude was particularly kind: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll eat after the child is full."
Li Nian looked at the always dignified Lord Xiao, whose gaze now rested lovingly on Jinhe. He looked so focused, as if the child in his arms was an extremely precious existence to him.
She didn't say anything else and just ate in silence.
If…if it were possible, if her future life could be unaffected by the heroine’s halo, if she stayed in the Xiao Mansion, would her daughter be able to have a healthy family, with loving parents and grandfather…
Li Nian watched Jinhe giggle at the amusement of Marquis Xiao, waving her short, plump, and tender arms in the air, almost knocking over Marquis Xiao's bowl.
Her heart skipped a beat when she saw this, and she quickly reached out to help, but she was still a step too late.
With a "bang", Lord Xiao's bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Li Nian stood up and smiled politely: "My Lord, she is too naughty, don't tire you out." As he said that, he reached out to take Jinhe.
But Lord Xiao smiled and waved his hands, his face showing no sign of hiding his happiness: "It's okay, it's better for children to be more lively."
He smiled at Li Nian, his tone praising her: "The little girl is young, but she's quite strong. When she grows up a little, she can find a martial arts master and learn some self-defense skills."
Yun Erniang said with a smile: "The Marquis is really concerned about the child. Wu'er's marriage into the Marquis's Mansion is a blessing she has cultivated for several lifetimes."
When Lord Xiao heard this, he looked up at Yun Erniang, who had a fawning look on her face.
He had seen this kind of expression too many times and had never liked it.
His gaze fell on Li Nian, who had a tense face. His eyebrows raised slightly, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.
He looked up at Yun Erniang and said, "It's fate that our two families are married. Your daughter is well-educated and well-mannered. It's a blessing for my Yu'er to marry her."
As Li Nian listened to the two people's greetings, her mood went from powerless to numb.
No matter how she explained, Lord Xiao was convinced that she was Yun Qiuwu, and Jinhe was his biological granddaughter.
Now with Yun Erniang's flattery, any explanation she gave seemed pale and powerless.
Just let them talk.
"Grandfather...Grandfather." Jinhe suddenly called out incoherently.
Lord Xiao was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter, his face full of joy and surprise.
"My dear granddaughter, call me again."
"Grandfather." The little girl's second cry was much clearer.
Lord Xiao was so excited that he hugged Jinhe and gave her a kiss. His hands holding Jinhe were shaking slightly with excitement, as if he had obtained the most precious treasure in the world.
Seeing this, Yun Erniang quickly smiled and agreed: "Look how close this little girl is to the Marquis! She will definitely be filial to you in the future."
Lord Xiao nodded without any humility: "That's right, my darling granddaughter must be a well-educated, filial and kind child."
