Although he knew it was true, Xie Xun was still upset, but he still glared at Feng Guang and said, "No matter what, the old lady is my mother and your grandmother. Even if you have a lot of opinions, you can't lose your manners."
Feng Guang pursed her lips and remained silent.
"Alright, alright, Fengguang is still young, why are you blaming her so much?" Zhao Wan couldn't help but speak up for her daughter. After all, she had long harbored resentment towards her mother-in-law who favored sons over daughters, but she hadn't said much because of Xie Xun.
Seeing that Zhao Wan had spoken, Xie Xun didn't know what else to say. He coughed and softened his tone, "Huan'er is still young, so there are some things she doesn't need to remember. But Fengguang, you're not young anymore. Do you still remember all the things I taught you?"
"I remember, I remember." Feng Guang said impatiently, "The head of the Xie family is Old Madam Xie. I must respect and be filial to her when I see her. I must call the Second Master of the Xie family Second Uncle, but Second Aunt has always had a grudge against our eldest branch. I will avoid her if I encounter her. The Third Master of the Xie family is my Third Uncle. He is a newly appointed general. He is gentle and never likes to fight with others. If my parents are not here, I can ask him for help if I have any trouble."
She added in her mind that she remembered Xie Zhan's matter most clearly.
Hearing Feng Guang recount everything he had told her in detail, Xie Xun was greatly relieved. During this trip back to the old house, Feng Guang was probably the person who worried the couple the most. She was lazy and didn't like being restrained by others, and in the old lady's eyes, she was probably the most disliked person.
However, worries are worries, and half an hour later, the carriage finally arrived at the gate of the Xie family mansion.
There were already people waiting at the Xia family's door. It was Xie Zhao, the second master of the Xie family, who had a simple and honest face. Although he looked simple and honest, he was incredibly shrewd. Otherwise, he would not have been able to build his business into such a large enterprise.
Upon seeing the people getting out of the car, Xie Zhao immediately went to greet them, "Big brother, sister-in-law."
"Second brother, it's been many years." Xie Xun responded first with a smile, while Zhao Wan beside him smiled politely.
Xie Zhao then turned his gaze to Feng Guang and Huan'er, who was being led by the hand by Feng Guang. He smiled kindly and said, "This must be Feng Guang and Huan'er. It's the first time I've met them, but I haven't had time to prepare a gift yet."
"Second Uncle, you're too kind." Under her father's gaze, Feng Guang forced a reply, while Huan'er, who was always afraid of strangers, clung to Feng Guang's leg and hid behind her.
Xie Zhao said, "It's windy outside, let's go inside and talk. Mother and the others are waiting in the hall."
Xie Xun nodded. "Okay."
The group passed through the gate and entered the mansion. The Xie family lived up to its reputation as a century-old family. Every plant and tree seemed to have the aura of time, and the vast land and buildings gave people a sense of grandeur.
Before long, the group entered the hall. In the main seat sat an imposing old lady. She was expressionless, and even when she saw her son, whom she hadn't seen for many years, enter from outside, her eyes remained calm and indifferent, as if she were looking at a stranger.
Below her sat a meticulously dressed, still charming woman. Beside her stood a tall, slender young man, and one could guess that she was Xie Zhao's wife, Tan Rou, and the young man beside her was her son, Xie Jie, the only young master of the Xie family.
