"But is she the daughter of the Ji family in Qinyang Prefecture?" A thin man with two servants was standing on the dock. When he saw Qiu Yinong, he mistook her for Ji Xueru.
Qiu Yinong took a look at the man and thought he must be Ji Xueru's fiancé.
Qing Yuan said, "My lady's surname is Qiu. You have mistaken her for me."
"Sorry." The man apologized quickly before the surprise in his eyes faded.
Then he looked at Ji Xueru. Although Ji Xueru had other ideas in her mind, she was still unhappy to see Lord Wei fall in love with someone else.
"Lord Wei, my girl is from the Ji family." Xiaolan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
Lord Wei quickly bowed and said, "I'm sorry, I've never seen your true face before. I apologize for my impoliteness."
"Thank you for your courtesy, Lord Wei." Ji Xueru returned the greeting according to etiquette, but she was wearing a veil on her face today.
Lord Wei made a gesture of invitation: "The car is ready, Miss Ji, please follow me."
"Thank you."
Ji Xueru bowed, looked at Mu Yunzheng unwillingly, and even glanced at Qiu Yinong, then reluctantly followed Lord Wei away.
"Young Master." Members of the Mu family also came forward.
Mu Yunzheng opened his mouth and ordered: "Escort parents back to the Qiu family first."
"yes."
After the carriage came down, everyone got on and went directly to Qiu Ziru's house.
Qiu Ziru didn't know that his parents and elder brother had returned and were on duty in Taibu Temple.
More than an hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of Qiu Mansion.
"Old Master, Old Madam, Third Miss, why did you come back so soon?" The housekeeper was just at the door, giving instructions to the servant.
Three carriages stopped at the door, and he recognized at a glance that two of them were carriages from the Qiu Mansion.
He hurried forward to greet them, and saw the old lady and others coming out of the carriage.
"Butler, has everything been arranged for the master and his family's courtyard?" Sun Guiying asked the butler.
The housekeeper quickly replied, "Madam, the bedding in the yard was just recently replaced after being exposed to the sun. You can rest assured and move in directly."
"I'm at ease with you doing this. Please quickly take the luggage of my uncle and the others and put it in the yard." Sun Guiying pointed to the things in the carriage.
The housekeeper quickly arranged for someone to take the things away, separate the carriage and the horses, and take the horses to the stables.
"Let's go into the mansion." Sun Guiying smiled at Mr. Qiu and others.
Father Qiu looked at his brother's house with a smile in his eyes.
Seeing that his brother and his family were living well, he felt relieved. Sun Guiying introduced: "This mansion was a gift from the emperor. Previously, your brother..."
Sun Guiying introduced Qiu Ziru's past contributions to Qiu's father and others, and Qiu Yinong listened with great interest.
Qiu Hanchi's eyes were bright, and Qiu Yinong looked at him with amusement. Fifth brother was indeed worthy of being the future master detective.
Now he has also started to practice martial arts, and the system has also given a clear solution to his leg problem. She only needs to reach thirty merits, and then she can take out the broken bone healing pill.
There are still four points left. It’s really not easy to earn merit points.
Sun Guiying simply arranged the dinner and other matters in an orderly manner, while Mother Qiu watched with burning eyes.
After the housekeeper left, Sun Guiying asked with amusement, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I just think mother is amazing. I didn't feel anything before in Taohua Village, but now that I'm in the capital, I see mother arranging things in an orderly manner."
"Now I can really feel that you are truly the old lady of your family."
Sun Guiying looked at her with a smile and said happily, "What do you mean by 'old lady of your family'? Mother is still the same mother, she has not changed at all."
"You and the boss can live in peace."
"Okay." Mother Qiu nodded with a smile. Under the influence of her daughter these days, she is no longer the petty woman she used to be.
Her son is now a top scholar, and Qiu's mother subconsciously knows that her family will definitely be extraordinary in the future.
It was not until sunset that Qiu Ziru returned home.
The servant received Sun Guiying's instructions but did not tell him that Sun Guiying and others had returned.
As usual, he came to the front hall and sat down to rest for a while.
After waiting for a long time, no one brought tea. Qiu Ziru pinched the bridge of his nose with one hand and called out, "Xiao Cui, bring the tea."
After a while, there was a faint sound of footsteps.
A cup of tea was placed on the small table beside him, followed by two plates of snacks.
Qiu Ziru reached out to take the tea bowl, but caught a glimpse of a white and slender little hand reaching for the tea and snacks on the plate.
"Didn't you have lunch today?" Qiu Ziru didn't mind, but asked with a gentle smile.
When I looked up at the owner of my hand, I saw a young, beautiful and very familiar face.
Qiu Ziru stood up instantly, rubbed his eyes, and looked again.
The little girl grinned at him and said, "Uncle, nice to meet you. Good evening."
"Second uncle? You are... you are my niece whom I have never met?" A surprised smile appeared on Qiu Ziru's face.
He heard his mother's laughter behind him. He turned around and saw that his parents and sister had returned.
Looking to the left again, two faces appeared before him that he had not seen for more than ten years.
"Brother, sister-in-law." Qiu Ziru greeted them happily.
Father Qiu laughed and looked carefully at Qiu Ziru, who was wearing official uniform, and held his arms with both hands.
"Okay, okay."
"Brother, sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for more than ten years. How are you?" Qiu Ziru was very excited, with tears in his eyes.
Father Qiu smiled and nodded: "We are all fine, I'm sorry to have worried about you."
"These are your five nephews: Hansheng, Hanqing, Hanyan, Hanli, and Hanchi. This is the child your eldest sister-in-law was pregnant with back then. Her name is Yinong, Qiu Yinong."
"Hello, Second Uncle." Qiu Yinong and the other six people greeted Qiu Ziru in unison.
"Okay, okay, my nephews are all handsome men, and my niece actually looks so similar to my mother when she was young. I never thought of that."
Father Qiu laughed heartily and said, "Even if my parents and little sister don't come looking for us, when Yi'er comes to the capital in the future, you will be able to recognize him at a glance as long as you see him."
Qiu Ziru and the others nodded at the same time and said with a smile, "That's true. Yi'er's face looks so much like Mother's when she was young."
"It means that grandma was also a great beauty when she was young." Qiu Yinong praised her grandmother while praising herself at the same time.
"Hahahaha, yes, yes, what our Yi'er said is correct." Qiu Wanjin laughed, and the originally quiet Qiu Mansion was instantly filled with laughter and lively.
Qiu Ziru quickly called the housekeeper: "Have you arranged the dinner yet?"
"Don't worry, my lord. I have made all the arrangements. My future son-in-law said he would go back to pick up Lord Mu. Madam Mu has gone."
"Then let's wait for Yun Zheng and the others to come before we start the meal." Qiu Ziru nodded.
The family sat down chatting and laughing. Not long after, Lord Mu and his wife came over. Only Lord Mu and his wife and Mu Yunzheng came. No other members of the Mu family came.
After all, it was the first time that Mr. Qiu and his family came to visit, and they just came to have a meal together to celebrate the Qiu family finding their eldest son who had been missing for many years.
