Looking at the two people, one big and one small, at the table, one teaching earnestly and the other learning earnestly, Madam Yin picked up the embroidery hoop with a smile.
Meanwhile, in the living room, Hong Xiaoduo was sipping the fine tea that Lord Wei had gotten from his son, and joked, "My lord, you know I'm not very knowledgeable about tea, so why waste your son's treasured tea?"
“Miss Hong, you are a rare and distinguished guest, so of course I should treat you to the best things in my mansion. This tea wasn’t bought by him; it was given to him by his brother-in-law. If he finishes it, he can just ask his brother-in-law for more.” Wei Junpei said, pouring another cup for Hong Xiaoduo.
To make it easier to talk, no one was left in the living room to serve them.

“Actually, I get involved in everything. It just so happened that I overheard your daughter-in-law talking about Tong’er, and I remembered that you had mentioned before that the grandson who had the accident was named Tong’er, so I asked if he was from the Wei family in the capital. So, I came to your residence now,” Hong Xiaoduo said truthfully.
"I still have to thank you. By the way, stay a few more days this time. The day after tomorrow is an auspicious day. I've invited the clan chief to witness Tong'er's return to the clan." Wei Junpei said excitedly to Hong Xiaoduo.
