Xiao Yu said with a smile.
Song Lan said with some helplessness, "What do you mean by 'Marquis'? Please don't call me that anymore. It makes me feel out of place."
Xiao Yu: "Why? That's a special honor that belongs to you, bestowed by His Majesty himself."
"But we are in this world now, so let everything from the past be like smoke in the wind!"
An honor?
The Zhenguo Duke's family has never cared about any honors for generations. All they care about is protecting their country and ensuring that the people can live in peace and prosperity, free from the burning, killing, and looting of foreign enemies!
"Yes, all of that is now just a passing cloud!"
Xiao Yu sighed.
"Alright, I have to go to my grandparents' house now. You should turn around and go home too, otherwise Grandpa Xiao and the others will think you've taken me all the way back to the living room."
Song Lan's eyes were full of teasing. Seeing this, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Chenchen will tell her family." He implied that he was not worried about being misunderstood by the elders in his family.
After Qin Yanzheng led the five little babies away, Xiao Chen noticed that Xiao Yu had something to say to Song Lan, and the little boy cleverly and quietly returned to the living room.
"Shall we meet again this weekend, two weeks from now?"
Xiao Yu was afraid that Song Lan had forgotten to formally recognize Xiao Chen as her godson, so he couldn't help but remind her, well, you could call it an emphasis.
Song Lan seemed to read the other person's mind and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I can't forget it!"
Instantly, Xiao Yu's face turned bright red.
"Go in."
Song Lan waved to the other person, then turned and walked away.
Once her figure disappeared, Xiao Yu withdrew his gaze and stepped into the courtyard.
"You haven't come in yet, are you talking to Lanlan about something important?"
When Grandma Luo saw Xiao Yu enter the living room, she smiled kindly and casually asked a question.
We just chatted casually.
Xiao Yu responded, then said, "Song Lan plans to officially recognize Chenchen as her godson on the weekend of two weeks from now, which is the weekend after next."
"This is fantastic news!"
The smile in Grandma Luo's eyes was almost overflowing.
Grandpa Xiao and his father were equally happy; without a doubt, they were happy for their great-grandson.
Although the child doesn't have a biological mother, she has a godmother, which allows her to at least enjoy some maternal love.
They believed in Song Lan's character, and since he had said he wanted to formally recognize Chenchen as his godchild, he would definitely love and cherish him.
Are you happy?
Xiao Yu asked Xiao Chen, a child.
"……Happy!"
Chenchen snapped out of her daze and immediately broke into a big smile.

When Song Lan returned to the Chen family home, before she could even sit down on the sofa, she heard Qin Yanzheng say sourly, "You've been chatting for quite a while."
Upon hearing this, Song Lan knew perfectly well that the man's jealousy was welling up again. She smiled calmly, pretending not to know that he was jealous, and replied, "It'll only be three or four minutes."
Grandma Chen and Li Jumei listened to the conversation and shook their heads with smiles.
As for Grandpa Chen and Song Sanhe, the two of them were playing chess on the side, only glancing at Song Lan and the other person when they turned their heads.
"It's more than five minutes."
Qin Yanzheng pretended to be calm and said, "Da Bao and Er Bao have been looking for their mother several times."
While squatting in the living room playing with Jinzhi and his siblings, the two children suddenly heard their father mention them. They blinked, then looked at Qin Yanzheng and said in unison, "Dad, we knew Mom would be back soon, so we didn't look for her anywhere!"
Having been betrayed by his two sons in front of his wife and elders, Qin Yanzheng blushed instantly. He coughed twice and glanced at Da Bao and Er Bao: "Didn't your father know if you looked for your mother?"
Da Bao's little mouth twitched slightly.
Erbao, with an air of "I really can't do anything with you," said to Qin Yanzheng in a childish voice, "Okay, Daddy said my brother and I are looking for Mommy, so let's look for her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the little boy sighed and shook his head: "Brother, Dad is so childish!" He said in what he thought was a very soft voice, but little did he know that all the elders in the living room could hear him clearly.
"Shh!"
Da Bao raised his index finger to his lips.
"What's the matter?"
Erbao asked.
"Don't talk, just keep playing!"
Da Bao leaned his head close to his silly younger brother: "If you don't want Dad to spank you, you'd better listen to me!"
Immediately, Erbao covered his bottom with both hands and shook his head like a rattle drum: "No, Erbao doesn't want to get his bottom spanked!"
The interaction between the two boys brought laughter to the living room.
When Song Lan saw Zheng Qiuwen in the kitchen, she sat down and then stood up again: "I'll go help in the kitchen."
Actually, the Chen family has a housekeeper who is responsible for cooking and cleaning. Although Zheng Qiuwen was in the kitchen at the moment, she didn't help much.
It wasn't that Zheng Qiuwen didn't know how to do kitchen work; it was that her aunt was worried that something might happen to her.
After all, she's pregnant, so she has to be extra careful in everything she does.
For this reason, the aunt doesn't let Zheng Qiuwen get involved much.
But Zheng Qiuwen couldn't stay idle, so she could only find some jobs in the kitchen that didn't require her to bend over.
For example, standing in front of the tap to wash vegetables, or standing in front of the cutting board to prepare the washed ingredients.
I just don't feel at ease if I don't do something.
Grandma Chen didn't stop Song Lan and let her go to the kitchen.
Around mid-afternoon, Song Lan and her group got into the car and returned to the courtyard house along the same route they had come from. Unexpectedly, they saw Qin Yaqing being stopped by a man on the sidewalk, and it seemed that some kind of conflict had occurred between the two.
Worried that Qin Yaqing might be taken advantage of, Song Lan looked at Qin Yanzheng and said, "Stop the car."
"What's wrong?"
Qin Yanzheng gripped the steering wheel with both hands, his tone filled with confusion.
“I saw my younger sister; it looks like she had a conflict with someone.”
As Song Lan spoke, her expression suddenly tightened.
A simply dressed young woman, who looked like she came from the countryside, rushed up to Qin Yaqing and reached out to tear at Qin Yaqing's hair. She seemed particularly agitated.
Behind the young woman, an elderly man in his fifties or sixties and a man in his thirties were each holding a child. The two men looked grim, as if they were about to fight, and shouted, "Wen Qiming, you dare to touch my daughter (sister)!"
Qin Yanzheng parked the car on the side of the road. Before he could say anything, Song Lan put Da Bao and Er Bao, whom she was holding, on the seat and said to Li Jumei, "Mom, keep an eye on Da Bao and Er Bao."
"Okay, you and Yanzheng go check it out right away, don't let Yaqing suffer any losses!"
Li Jumei, holding three babies, sat in the back seat with Song Lan.
Song Sanhe was sitting in the passenger seat with Sibao in his arms. At that moment, he and Qin Yanzheng also saw Qin Yaqing getting into a conflict with someone.
"What are you doing?!"
Song Lan got out of the car before Qin Yanzheng. She walked quickly to Qin Yaqing's side, pulled away the young woman who was tearing at Qin Yaqing, and pushed away the man who was trying to help Qin Yaqing.
"Who are you? Why are you pulling me? I'm going to tear that bitch Qin Yaqing to shreds!"
