He nodded after listening, "Go down."
After the two left, Sun Yun stood up as well. "Grandfather is injured, I have to go back and see him. Can you go to the Hundred Flowers Banquet hosted by the Fourth Prince's Consort on June 6th?"
Zhao Shu smiled gently, "Of course I'm going, why wouldn't I?"
“Alright, I’ll go with you.” Sun Yun flicked off the non-existent dust from her skirt and walked away with the air of a man.
Zhao Shu: ...
The Wei family's residence, Tantai Courtyard, is the quietest and most beautiful place in the entire Wei family, and also the place where the family's power is concentrated. At this moment, Zhao Nihong is anxiously waiting outside a house, her handkerchief twisted into folds. "Mother, Qi'er is worried about Grandmother."
A little boy of about three or four years old tugged at her sleeve and said in a soft voice, "Qi'er, be good. Grandma will be alright. Grandma is a lucky person. Everything will be alright."
The mother and son's voices were not loud, but they clearly entered the room. Inside, Madam Wei Zhong choked with sobs and tears, saying, "Husband, but Qi'er and Ni Hong are outside. In this life, I have my husband, my children and grandchildren. My husband treats me well, and my children and grandchildren are filial and considerate. I am already content.

She was still incredibly beautiful, but her pale face made her look even more pitiful, delicate, and tragic. Wei Caitao held her hand, feeling heartbroken. "Please rest assured, my wife, I will definitely get justice for you."
“My lord, no! How can a father and son hold a grudge overnight? I do not wish for you to have any misunderstanding with Chang’an because of me. It is nothing for me to suffer some grievances.” She was like a saint, and in Wei Caitao’s eyes, she was now shining with a holy aura.

"The imperial physician said it will take four or five months for him to gradually recover. You'll have to work hard these days. Take Qi'er to your mother's side to show filial piety more often; she'll be happy." After saying this, he coldly left Tantai Courtyard and hurriedly went to Yingxue Pavilion.
The Yingxue Pavilion was deserted, with only a few maids sweeping the fallen flowers on the ground. He glanced at them coldly and said sternly, "Where is that unfilial son!"
Wei Tingsi emerged from behind several trumpet creeper trees, holding a copy of the Book of Songs in his hand. He was flipping through the elegant chapter "Dang" when he asked, "Father, you wanted to see me?" He glanced at Wei Caitao, his brows and eyes cold and his manner domineering. Even the vibrant summer flowers could not conceal his icy and aloof temperament.
