Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "It's not like we're in the imperial court anymore; the court session has already ended. We're still uncle and nephew, so naturally I should call you uncle."
At this moment, Marquis Chang Sen of Wude also came over, and Zhu Yunwen took the initiative to say:
"Third Uncle!"
He then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, which flattered Chang Sen, who said:
"Oh dear, this won't do!"
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "My two uncles, please don't be so formal. As your nephew, is there anything wrong with me calling you uncles?"
Zhu Yunwen's actions and words naturally made his two uncles extremely happy.
Then we heard Duke Chang Sheng say, "Your maternal uncle Lan Yu also talked to us before, saying that you have changed a lot, which is a good thing."
Yuntong, since you still consider us your uncles, then we, your uncles, will definitely support you unconditionally from now on.
Alas, my poor sister left us so early, leaving you three siblings who have been without a mother since childhood and now without a father. It must have been really tough for you.
As the saying goes, "Uncles are your maternal uncles, and also like mothers to you. If you or your two younger sisters are ever bullied by anyone, just tell your uncles, and they will definitely stand up for you."
Zhu Yunwen quickly cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you both, uncles. My mother in heaven would be very happy that you two have protected the three of us siblings so much."
Having said all that, emotions were running high, and both uncles' eyes welled up with tears.
After all, they're relatives, an uncle and nephew; deep down, they share the same blood.
Chang Sheng rubbed his eyes and said:
"Let's not talk about these sad things. Since you've recognized him as your uncle, it's only right that he, as an elder, should help you."
If you're free today, go to your uncle's house and have your aunt cook you some good food. It'll be your uncle's way of making up for all these years.
Zhu Yunwen nodded and said:
“Well, since my father passed away, I’ve realized that I don’t have many relatives left in this world. My grandfather is one, and then there are my two uncles and my great-uncle.”
Hearing Zhu Yunwen's moving words, the Chang brothers were all deeply touched.
He patted Zhu Yunwen on the shoulder and pulled him toward the Chang family mansion.
Zhu Yunwen also valued this relationship in this world.
At the same time, it would also win over the two Chang brothers, so he was naturally very happy and did not refuse.
On the way, he said with a smile, "My aunt's cooking skills are probably good, but my cooking skills are actually not bad either. I'll cook a couple of dishes for my uncles and aunts to try."
Chang Sheng and Chang Sen immediately laughed and scolded:
"You brat, a gentleman keeps away from the kitchen. How can you, a grandson of the emperor, cook?"
Zhu Yunwen laughed as well: "What's wrong with cooking for my uncles and aunts? If I can't even do that, what kind of gentleman am I?"
Everyone burst into laughter, and their relationship grew even closer.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing on the pavilion, witnessed this entire scene.
A relieved smile crept across his face as he muttered to himself:
"Good lad, you've changed a lot."
