Zhang became interested and said, "Fuqiu, tell me about it."
Fuqiu said, "I was still young then, and could only serve as a maidservant. The master I worked for had a wife and several concubines, so naturally there were more illegitimate children. I personally saw a concubine's child push a few-year-old legitimate son into a pond, and the legitimate son almost drowned."
Zhang covered her mouth and said, "This! Isn't this too cruel at such a young age?"
Fuqiu said, "They simply want to fight for the family fortune. As long as the legitimate son is gone, the family fortune will naturally fall to the illegitimate son."
Zhang said, "It seems that an adult must have taught him. Otherwise, what would a child understand?"
Fuqiu said, "Those concubines simply wanted to use the child to gain power. I was young at the time and was terrified. I was afraid people would find out I had witnessed the entire process, so I was absent-minded and made many mistakes. As a result, I was sent out of the palace, and later I met the young lady."
Zhang said, "You absolutely cannot have concubines or mistresses. It could lead to someone's death. Wenwu, remember this: no matter where you go in the future, you must never have these shady thoughts. Do you understand?"
Xu Wenwu was helpless and promised: "Mom, I know! I promise you."
Zhang nodded with satisfaction.
The old man said, "Your mother is right. I have to talk to those boys at home when I get back. They shouldn't have such thoughts. Look, I only have your grandmother. I have a good life, don't I?"
Zhang said, "And Qibao, when you're looking for a husband in the future, don't look for someone with a shady mind, understand?"
Qibao said, "Aunt, I understand!"
A few of them chatted about these things, and when they were hungry they ate the prepared snacks.
As the sun gradually set in the west, the entrance to Huamen Town became visible.
After entering the town, the dean and his companions' carriage stopped, said hello to the old man and his companions, and then parted ways. Kui Wu continued to drive the carriage towards Xujia Village.
The closer they got to home, the more impatient they became.
Soon, the carriage drove into the village entrance. The villagers should be cooking at home at this time, and there were not many people outside.
The carriage wobbled to a stop in front of Xu's house, and the door was closed.
Kuiwu got out of the car and knocked on the door.
Uncle Fu's voice came from inside.
“Here it comes!”
The door was opened from the inside. Uncle Fu was stunned when he saw Kui Wu. Then he saw the old man and others getting off the carriage, and his old face was full of smiles.
"Old Madam, Second Madam, Third Madam, the old man and the others are back!" Uncle Fu shouted as he limped into the house.
Uncle Xu said with a smile, "Uncle Fu, go slower, don't fall."
The people in the house also heard Uncle Fu's shout and ran out in a hurry.
"Grandma!" Qibao ran towards Wang with a smiling face.
Wang opened her arms towards Qibao from a distance, hugged Qibao who jumped into her arms, and kept calling him her darling.
Uncle Xu also smiled and said, "Brother, is it fun in the city?"
Uncle Xu said, "Qingyun City is big and bustling, especially at night when there are so many people out and about. It's different from our town. Our hot pot restaurant is doing really good business."
Uncle Xu said, "I want to go and see it too."
"Miss, you are finally back! We missed you so much!" Yue Jiao hugged Qibao's arm and said coquettishly.
Li smiled and said, "Why are you back at this time? Mother said you wouldn't be back for another two days!"
Zhang said, "I miss home! No matter how good it is outside, it's not as good as home."
The four wolves and one dog were also very excited. Frost and Snow kept pouncing on Qibao and the old man, and licked their masters from time to time with their tongues.
Xiao Ba's tail was wagging like a hot wheel, and he kept humming, looking as happy as a big loach that was twisting its body.
Qibao touched their heads one by one to calm their excited mood.
Lin was a little jealous: "Girl, my treatment is not even as good as Bai Lang and Xiao Ba's?"
Qibao chuckled, threw himself into Lin's arms, hugged his mother's waist and called out coquettishly, "Mom!"
Lin smiled and embraced Qibao and asked, "Did you enjoy your outing this time?"
Qibao said, "I'm happy. We bought a lot of gifts! There's something for everyone."
At this time, several figures rushed in from outside the door.
"Grandpa, sister, you're back!" Xiaowu ran in sweating profusely and hugged the grandfather who was closest to him.
The old man patted Xiaowu's head and said with a smile: "Smelly boy, you are sweating all over. Where have you been playing again?"
Xiao Wu said, "Grandpa, my brother and I went out to practice Qinggong. When we saw the carriage at the door, we thought it must be you who came back."
Qibao also called out, "Third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth brother!"
"Sister! You miss us so much!" The brothers didn't care about anything else and surrounded Qibao, asking her all kinds of questions.
The old man said, "Okay, everyone, stop talking in the yard and go back to your rooms."
The servants of the Xu family were also very happy. They were busy pouring tea and bringing food. Dinner was almost ready, but when Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Yin saw the old man and his family coming back, they started to prepare again, planning to add a few more dishes.
Everyone returned to the main room and sat down, and Zhang opened the packages she had brought back.
Xiao Wuwei stepped forward and asked, "Aunt, did you bring any gifts for us?"
“Bang!”
Uncle Xu slapped Xiaowu on the back of the neck and said, "You only care about whether there are any gifts. Your grandfather and your uncle just came back and rode in the carriage all day, and you don't even care."
Zhang smiled and said, "Second brother, don't always hit the child. Xiaowu just showed his concern for us. He is a good child!"
