Chapter 131 The Rich Family’s Melon is Ripe
Zongyan.
He was the second son of Marquis Yuanyang and Zong Zhao’s twin brother. It was said that the old lady had nearly died giving birth to these two children.
Xu Wan watched the old lady stand up tremblingly and reach out to touch the young boy. Zong Wenxiu didn't understand why his grandmother suddenly cried, but when he heard his father's name, he stood in front of his grandmother obediently and called out gently, "Grandma..."
The old lady burst into tears, touched Xiao Wenxiu's face and said, "It's Yan'er's child. You are Yan'er's child. Grandpa, he is really Yan'er's flesh and blood."
The old marquis behind him also stood up and walked over. The old general, who was always as steady as a mountain, couldn't control himself at this moment and walked forward to support the old lady, saying in a deep voice: "Yes, it's Yan'er's child."
Zong Wenxiu looks just like Aunt Hong, and his personality is similar. Maybe it’s because he grew up in a slum, but when he was first brought back, he was inferior, timid, and fearful, in stark contrast to the self-confidence that Zong Yan exudes.
If it weren't for the fact that poor Aunt Hong was Zong Yan's only widow, they would never have registered Wen Xiu under Zong Yan's name. But they didn't expect that Wen Xiu was actually their grandson.
"Oh my God... That's my grandson. What have I done? What have I done..." The old lady couldn't bear the blow. She staggered and fell backwards.
"Grandma!" "Grandma!"
"Mother-in-law!"
Seeing the old lady faint, the old marquis quickly picked her up and brought her back to the bedroom, saying, "Call the palace doctor!"
Xu Wan and her two children followed him there. The court doctor had already gone in to take the patient's pulse, but Xu Wan was worried that there were too many people in the room and it would affect the court doctor, so she took her two children and waited anxiously at the door.
Zong Jincheng asked in confusion, "What happened to my grandmother? Why did she cry and faint when she saw my brother?"
The little devil stared at Zong Wenxiu and said seriously, "Brother, you haven't changed at all. You are just a little taller than you were five months ago. Your nose is still the same, and your eyes are still the same."
Xu Wan: “…”
Otherwise, is it still possible to mutate?
Zong Wenxiu shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I just heard my grandmother calling my father's name. Maybe she saw me and remembered my father."
Zong Wenxiu was a sensitive person. He heard the last two sentences his grandmother said. It was clear that she had just confirmed that he was his father's child. So whose child did they think he was before that?
Zong Wenxiu's face became paler and paler. He didn't dare to think about this problem too deeply. He could only think over and over again in his heart what his mother had said. No matter what the process was, as long as he was his father's child, he would still have such a good family.
Xu Wan patted his shoulder and said, "Don't think too much. When your grandmother wakes up, she may ask you to come over and talk to her. Then you can ask whatever you want to ask."
Zong Wenxiu nodded and said, "Thank you, auntie. I won't let my imagination run wild."
"What are you thinking about? I can't understand what you are talking about." The little devil asked with his big head.
Xu Wan replied calmly: "Nothing."
There is no need to share a vague guess that needs to be confirmed with an idiot who may cause trouble at any time.
Little Devil: “!”
It's that feeling again. So annoying.
The two of them told a riddle in front of him.
Humph, you just take advantage of him because he is young and inexperienced.
When he grows up, he will understand everything!
After a long time, some movement was heard in the house. The court doctor gave the old lady a few injections and she regained consciousness.
The two children were eager to go in and were pulled back by Xu Wan.
She thought that the old lady must have a lot to say to the old marquis at this time. At the very least, she wanted to meet Wen Xiu or Aunt Hong alone to sort out all the doubts in her heart.
Sure enough, not long after, the old marquis came out and ordered, "Go and ask Aunt Hong to come over."
Zong Wenxiu was shocked and wanted to ask what was going on.
But the old marquis forced a smile and said to them, "Wan'er, take the two children to eat something first. Your mother-in-law is not seriously ill. She will be fine after a good rest."
Xu Wan thought to herself that she couldn’t eat the melon anymore.
"Okay, then we won't disturb grandma's rest." She responded respectfully and was about to take the two children away.
Zong Wenxiu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can't I stay too?"
He had a feeling that his grandmother had called his mother over to talk about his father.
He wants to listen too.
The old marquis looked at his expression which was similar to Zong Yan's. They were so stubborn, exactly the same. It was a pity that they were only blinded by their five senses before and did not notice anything unusual.
He looked at Wen Xiu meaningfully and said, "Go ahead. Your grandmother will tell you when she has found out the truth."
"Okay." Zong Wenxiu got the consent and then he followed Xu Wan obediently.
But even though they were asked to eat cakes, Zong Wenxiu and Xu Wan both found the food tasteless. Only the heartless Zong Jincheng ate heartily and would occasionally come over to ask his brother if he wanted to eat.
Zong Wenxiu took a pile of cakes but didn't put any of them in his mouth. He became more and more anxious as he waited.
Seeing that the little devil was still looking for delicious cakes for his brother, Xu Wan patted the little devil's hand and reminded him, "Don't stuff it in. Didn't you see that he didn't eat it?"
The little devil glared at her when he was clapped, but then he noticed that his brother looked dazed, obviously lost in thought.
"What happened to him?"
Xu Wan asked back, "Why are you so energetic? Why don't you do two tests to calm down?"
Zong Jincheng was immediately annoyed: "We said we would have a three-day holiday, and the teachers had all gone home, but you still wanted me to do the test. Do you have any conscience? Isn't this too much?"
Xu Wan said in a hushed voice: "No, what is conscience? Can it be eaten?"
Little Devil: "...How shameless."
“Same here.”
The mother and son argued with each other and time passed quickly until Cuizhi said that Aunt Hong had left the old lady's room, and this time did not exceed a quarter of an hour.
Zong Wenxiu stood up immediately upon hearing the voice and ran towards Aunt Hong's courtyard in a hurry. The little devil also wanted to follow him but was stopped by Xu Wan.
The little devil glared at her: "Do you want to fight again?"
Xu Wan glared at him and asked, "Can you beat me?"
The little devil gritted his teeth and said, "Just wait, when I grow taller than you, I can beat you easily!"
Xu Wan glanced at his current height and said disappointedly, "Oh, it seems like it will take many more years."
"!" The little devil was so angry that he was fuming.
His chest rose and fell. After realizing that he couldn't win an argument with Xu Wan, he continued to walk out: "I won't argue with you. I'm going to find my brother."

【Author has something to say:
From the perspective of the old marquis, they used to think that Wenxiu was not Zong Yan's child, so the treatment of the two children in the previous chapters was very different. In fact, even so, they did not treat Wenxiu badly, but they did not treat him as a grandson like Jincheng. In the first hundred chapters, I did not mention the age difference between Zong Yan and Wenxiu, just because I did not want everyone to think like the old marquis that Wenxiu was not his biological child. The little angel is already very pitiful, I don't want to abuse him. So the sensible author took the blame for more than a hundred chapters of illogical things, well... although I still have a few more pots on my shoulders, it's okay, let me take them all! 】
