Old Madam Qin smiled from ear to ear, and was happy at the thought that this house might become hers. She patted her grandson beside her gently, her eyes full of doting.
"Feng Yun, do you know? This house is the treasure of our Qin family. You must inherit it well and carry it forward." Old Lady Qin said earnestly.
Feng Yun nodded, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. Old Madam Qin saw it, smiled slightly, and turned to walk towards the people sitting in the living room.
In the living room, Madam Qin's sons and daughters-in-law were sitting together, talking about family matters. When they saw Madam Qin coming over, they all stood up and greeted her respectfully.
"Mother, you're here." The eldest son of the Qin family, Master Qin, hurried over to support Old Madam Qin.
Old Madam Qin smiled and patted Master Qin's hand, with a satisfied look in her eyes. She sat in the main seat, looked at everyone, and slowly said, "The main reason I invited everyone here today is to discuss the inheritance of this house."
Master Qin was slightly stunned, then he understood what his mother meant. He looked at his brothers and sisters-in-law around him, and weighed the pros and cons in his heart.
"Mother, this house is the Qin family's ancestral property and should be inherited by us." The second master Qin was the first to speak, his eyes flashing with greed.
Old Madam Qin frowned slightly. She looked at Master Qin II and then at the others.
"Mother, please say something." Seeing his mother hesitate, Master Qin spoke quickly.
Madam Qin pondered for a moment and said, "This house was built by your father and I. I don't want to see it destroyed in our hands. So, I have an idea."
Everyone pricked up their ears, waiting for what Madam Qin would say next.
"I plan to give this house to Feng Yun and let him inherit it." Old Lady Qin said in a firm tone.
Everyone was shocked when these words came out. The first and second masters looked at each other, while the first and second grandmothers of Qin turned pale.
"Mother, how can this be possible? Feng Yun is still young, how can he take on such an important task?" Master Qin II was the first to object.
Madam Qin smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling with brilliance: "Although Feng Yun is young, he is smart and I believe he can do the job. Moreover, I will assist him until he can take charge on his own."
Master Qin looked at his mother and weighed the pros and cons in his heart. It was obvious that his mother's decision would not change. So he decided to support his mother: "Mother, I think your decision is right. Feng Yun is the hope of our Qin family. I believe he can carry forward this house."
The second master Qin wanted to say something, but was stopped by the look of the first master Qin.
Old Madam Qin looked at everyone and sighed inwardly.
"Okay, since no one has any objections, then it's settled. Feng Yun, you have to remember that this house is not just a building, but also the spiritual symbol of our Qin family. You have to cherish it and carry it forward."
Feng Yun stood up and looked at his grandmother firmly: "Grandma, I will remember this, and I will work hard to make the Qin family stronger."
Old Madam Qin smiled and patted Feng Yun's shoulder, her eyes full of anticipation.
Qin Fengyun felt the warmth from his grandmother, smiled slightly, his eyes clear as water: “Grandma, do you really like this house?”
Madam Qin nodded, with a hint of mischief in her eyes: "Yes, Feng Yun, you know? When your grandfather was alive, he always wanted to own a house like this. Now, I have finally fulfilled his dream."
Qin Fengyun smiled slightly. His grandmother and grandfather had a deep affection for each other, and this house meant a lot to them.
"Feng Yun, what do you think of this house?" Old Madam Qin suddenly changed the subject with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
Qin Fengyun pondered for a moment and said, "Grandma, this house is really nice. It is located in a prosperous area with convenient transportation. The architectural style is simple and full of charm. But..."
"Just what?" Old Madam Qin asked nervously.
"It's just that this house is too conspicuous. I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble." Qin Fengyun said calmly, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
After hearing this, Madam Qin gently patted her grandson's shoulder and said, "Feng Yun, what you said makes sense. But I am old now, and I just want to live in this house in my lifetime to fulfill my wish."
Qin Fengyun looked at his grandmother's determined and eager eyes, and couldn't help feeling a pang of sadness in his heart.
"Feng Yun, look at this vase. It's your grandfather's favorite. Let's put it in the most conspicuous place in the living room." Old Madam Qin picked up an antique vase, her eyes full of memories.
Qin Fengyun nodded, took the vase, and carefully placed it in the middle of the living room.
"Grandma, how do you think this study should be decorated?" Qin Fengyun asked, pointing to the spacious study.
Madam Qin smiled slightly and said, "Let's decorate this study room according to your grandfather's preferences. He will definitely like it when he finds out."
Under the guidance of Old Madam Qin, Qin Fengyun decorated the study in an elegant and simple style, full of bookish atmosphere.
The move was finally over, and Mrs. Qin looked at this new home full of memories with joy. She took Qin Fengyun's hand and walked into the living room.
"Feng Yun, look, everything here is arranged according to your wishes. Do you like it?" Old Madam Qin looked at her grandson expectantly.
Qin Fengyun looked at his grandmother's expectant eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart. He smiled and nodded: "Grandma, I like it very much. This place is full of the warmth of home."
When Mrs. Qin heard her grandson's affirmation, she smiled brightly. She patted Qin Fengyun's hand gently and said, "Fengyun, grandma is old and I don't know how long I can stay with you. But grandma hopes that you can remember this family, remember our past, and pass on this emotion."
Qin Fengyun held his grandmother's hand tightly, with a determined light in his eyes: "Grandma, don't worry, I will always remember this home and our past. I will pass on this emotion so that future generations can feel the warmth of home."
When Old Madam Qin heard her grandson's words, she felt extremely relieved.
…
"Xiang Zhu! Why are you here?!" Old Madam Qin widened her eyes in shock.
Xiang Zhu lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly: "Madam, it's me." Her eyes were full of worry and sadness.
Old Lady Qin looked at Xiang Zhu, her eyes full of confusion and fear. She knew this maid very well, and knew that she was a steady and loyal woman who would never appear here for no reason. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down: "Xiang Zhu, what's the matter with you?"
Xiang Zhu raised her head, tears in her eyes: "Madam, something terrible has happened! Something happened in the mansion... in the mansion!"
Madam Qin's face changed and she immediately became nervous: "What happened? Tell me quickly!"
Xiang Zhu bit his lower lip, as if he had made a great decision: "Madam, the eldest son...he was wronged!"
"What?!" Old Madam Qin stood up in shock, and the cane in her hand fell to the ground with a thud. She looked at Xiang Zhu in disbelief: "What did you say? The eldest son was wrongly accused? How is this possible!"
