After the Wang family's happy occasion, everyone got back to their busy lives.
That day, Fu Man'er heard that a wealthy merchant had come to Yun Town, saying that he had returned to find his relatives.
At that time, Fu Man'er was still smiling, which was great; it was like returning home in glory.
She didn't ask any further questions and rushed home as soon as she finished her work.

The weather is getting colder and colder, so Lu Sheng invited her to have hot pot together today.
Sitting around the stove, cooking your favorite dishes, sweating profusely—that feeling is just so comforting.
Fu Man'er didn't even go home. She just sent someone home to inform them. When she entered Lu Sheng's courtyard, she heard Cao Zixuan's voice from the kitchen.
She knew it! How could Cao Zixuan be missing at a time like this?
Not long after she arrived, Xu Yi and Xu Mao also came one after another, while Old Master Hu leisurely headed towards the Xu family home.
He said these young people were too noisy and he couldn't stand it, so in the end Xu Yi took him there. With Grandpa Xu at the Xu family home, the two old men could keep each other company.
Xu Wen was the last to arrive. As soon as he pushed the door open, he felt the warmth inside. "It's so much warmer inside. It looks like it's going to snow."
As he spoke, he untied his cloak and casually draped it over the back of the chair.
Winter seems to have come early this year; everything looks gray and gloomy outside.
Fu Man'er looked up from the pot at Xu Wen and said, "Third Brother, sit down quickly, we've been waiting for you." If they weren't waiting for Xu Wen, they would have already started eating.
Xu Wengang sat down, and everyone picked up their chopsticks and put them into the pot.
He could tell that everyone was waiting for him, but not for long.
Xu Wen didn't rush to pick up his chopsticks to eat. "When I entered the village, I saw a horse-drawn carriage come into our village."
"I heard they came to our village to look for relatives. I wonder which family they're related to. That carriage looked quite impressive." (Reading)
After he finished speaking, he slowly picked up his chopsticks. Fu Man'er was the first to speak, "So many people are looking for their relatives?"
"I also heard today that a wealthy businessman has come back to look for his relatives."
While she was talking, Xu Yi put a cooked meatball in her bowl and left it to cool.
"We're not talking about the same thing, are we?" Xu Wen thought about the appearance of the carriage and knew that the people inside must be quite wealthy.
Fu Man'er puffed out her cheeks and started blowing on the meatballs, "I don't know."
The food smelled amazing, and everyone chatted about it for almost an hour.

Fu Man'er still wanted to eat, but Xu Yi had already taken her chopsticks away because her stomach was already bulging. If she ate any more, she would feel uncomfortable and unable to sleep at night.
After a satisfying meal, everyone leaned back lazily in their chairs, not wanting to move an inch in the warm glow of the charcoal fire.
However, soon enough, someone came and shattered this beautiful scene.
"Lu Sheng, Lu Sheng." The calls from outside were urgent. Lu Sheng glanced at the door, but she didn't really want to get up and open it.
Cao Zixuan, who was standing next to her, glanced at her, got up and went to open the door. An aunt came in.
He must have run all the way here; he looks out of breath.
Before she even entered the door, she poked her head in. As soon as she took a sniff, she smelled the rich aroma of the food. Normally, she would definitely ask what they were eating.
But she came in such a hurry because she had something to say. She looked at Lu Sheng excitedly and asked, "Lu Sheng, your father is back?"
"Huh?" Everyone in the room seemed to have misheard, looking at the aunt at the door with a puzzled expression.
Seeing that Lu Sheng was still in a daze, his aunt said again, "Your father is back. Your father, Lin Qingyou, is back."
Now everyone heard clearly, and their eyes returned to Lu Sheng.
Lin Qingyou? Lu Sheng silently repeated the name in her mind, a name she had already forgotten.
"Oh." Under his aunt's excited gaze, Lu Sheng gave a faint reply.
"Hey, child, are you so excited you've gone crazy?" Her aunt thought her reaction was abnormal. Who wouldn't be happy and excited to hear that their father was back?
But Lu Sheng is no longer that six or seven-year-old little girl; she's an adult now.
"So what if you're back?" Lu Sheng said casually, then glanced at everyone and said, "Pick up the bowls and chopsticks."
Everyone who had been sitting lazily stood up, some clearing away bowls, others carrying pots, and suddenly they were all busy.
"No, you~" The aunt wanted to say something, but Fu Man'er, the only one who was free, stepped forward and half-pushed her aunt outside.
“Auntie, there’s no need to tell Lu Sheng about this. It’s getting dark soon, so you should go home. We won’t keep you any longer.”
Auntie was led out half-invited and half-pushed, and Fu Man'er even closed the courtyard gate behind her to prevent anyone else from coming in.

After hearing what Xu Wu said, Xu Wen felt that there seemed to be some truth to it.
He looked at Lu Sheng, "Lu Sheng, are you really not going to go and take a look?"
Lu Sheng picked up a fire poker and stirred the charcoal in the brazier. "That's the Lin family's business. What does it have to do with me?"
Suddenly, everyone remembered that Lu Sheng had written a letter severing ties with the Lin family.
