After exchanging greetings on both sides, everyone went together to the flower hall of Foning Hall.

  Lin Diya pulled Lin Wan to kneel down in front of Old Lady Zhuang, who smiled and said: "Good good good, good children."

  As she spoke, she pulled Lin Xiao's hand and smiled: "Yuanyuan, the last time I saw you, you were only as big as a rabbit, and in the blink of an eye, you've grown so tall." As she spoke, she took out a completely green bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it into Lin Xiao's hand, saying: "This is for you, take good care of yourself, and then you can find a good husband."

  Lin Xiao knew that Old Lady Zhuang always spoke in a roundabout way, so she didn't mind and smiled as she thanked her: "Thank you, Grandmother."

  Madam Zhuang turned her head to look at Lin Xuan, pulled up her hand, and thought for a moment before saying: "Young Jade, the last time I saw you, you were still like a little mouse, in the blink of an eye you...". Before she could finish saying "in the blink of an eye you've grown so big", Lin Xuan had already spoken out loudly: "Grandmother is deceiving people, Grandmother said that you haven't come to the capital for over a decade, you've never seen me before."

  Mrs. Zhuang was so choked with rage that she couldn't speak, and because someone had exposed her shortcoming, she suddenly felt a bit uneasy, her eyes darting around wildly. After a while, thinking that this made her appear too guilty, she turned back to Lin Xiang and said sternly: "You child, don't you know not to talk back to your elders? I say I've seen it before, then I've seen it before."

  Lin Xuan was about to open her mouth to argue, but Lin Xiao quietly pulled her hand and whispered to her: "Grandma is old, let's just humor her and not argue with her." Only then did Lin Xuan reluctantly shut her mouth.

  Mrs. Zhuang then took on an air of a magnanimous adult, saying: "Forget it, forget it, I won't stoop to your level." Then she pulled out a palm-sized jade rabbit from her bosom and stuffed it into Lin Xuan's hand, saying: "Take it and play with it." After that, she didn't forget to add another sentence: "Next time you talk back, I won't give you any good things, I'll give them all to your sister instead."

  Lin Xiang was most interested in these things when she saw the jade rabbit, which was smooth and delicate, and her eyes lit up instantly. She held it in her hand and couldn't bear to let go, suddenly feeling that this eccentric grandmother was also lovely. Smiling loudly, she thanked her: "Thank you, Grandma." After finishing, her eyes sparkled as she added another sentence: "Grandma, you are the loveliest!"

  Lin Chenggang and Lin Xuan, although not born of the Zhuang family, were also nominally children of the third house, so they naturally had to call Old Lady Zhuang "grandmother". After Lin Di and Lin Yun got up, Lin Chenggang and Lin Xuan also knelt in front of Old Lady Zhuang and softly called out: "Grandmother."

  The old lady looked far and near with her eyes narrowed, then turned to ask Zhuang Shi: "Xian Niang, when did you give birth to two children as big as this? These two children don't look like you, nor do they look like their uncle."

  Zhuang Shi looked at the son and daughter born out of wedlock, with a complex and subtle expression, as if unsure how to treat them. In this brief moment of distraction, he also forgot to respond to his mother's words.

  Li's face was somewhat awkward, the existence of these two illegitimate grandchildren is not something to be proud of, and it's also a place where the Lin family owes an apology to the Zhuang family.

  The others in the room were also embarrassed, looking at each other and unsure of whether they should speak up or not.

  Lin Chenggang and Lin Yu, who were kneeling on the ground, had red faces and looked down at the ground with their heads bowed. Lin Yu felt even more embarrassed, her eyes already red, and if there was a hole in the ground, she would have liked to crawl into it immediately. At the same time, she felt wronged in her heart, being born out of wedlock wasn't her fault, if possible, she also wanted to be reborn as a legitimate miss from the main house, so she wouldn't be bullied or made fun of, and she would have parents who loved her.

  After a while, Li said with a smile: "They are the children of Lao San's concubine."

  She didn't say that she was the third child of the concubine, nor did she say that she was a child born to Lady Zhuang's concubine. Instead, she said that she was the third child of the concubine, which means that she knew that Lady Zhuang had always been distant from them and intentionally separated them from her, taking care of Lady Zhuang's feelings.

  The old lady didn't say anything else, as if she had finally remembered who these two people were. She said "oh" and then pulled out two rings from her fingers, one for each of them, saying: "You both take one." Then to Lin Yu she said: "I'll give it to you later as a dowry." And to Lin Cheng she said: "Later give it to your wife to wear."

  Lin Yan looked at Mrs. Zhuang, quietly pulled Lin Xiao's hem, and smiled softly to her: "Your grandmother is really interesting." She looked again at Lin Yu and Lin Chenggang who were thanking her in a low voice, raised an eyebrow and asked: "Do you think your grandmother has really forgotten their identities or is doing this on purpose?"

  Lin Xiao didn't say anything and just gave her a warning glance.

  Lin Yan stuck out her tongue and didn't ask again.

  On the other hand, Qi Shi saw that Zhuang Shi was still hesitating and looking at her own children, intentionally wanting to divert her attention. She pulled her hand and chatted with her: "Third sister-in-law, according to reason, when Old Madam comes as a guest, I should arrange for her to stay in your three houses' courtyard. However, I asked Mother's opinion yesterday, she and Old Madam haven't seen each other for over a decade, but instead wants Old Madam to stay at Fung Ning Hall with her as companions." Qi Shi said somewhat embarrassed: "Mother is happy in her heart, we daughters-in-law can't go against Mother's wishes, so..."

  Zhuang's expression was slightly stunned, and after a while, he said to Qi Shi: "Second aunt, don't worry, I understand. Since mother likes it, let her live in Funing Hall. I'll take Yuanyuan and Youyu to live in the third house."

  Zhuang said, then thought of something else, grasped Qi's hand with both hands, and sincerely said: "Second sister-in-law, thank you for these years. You and San Ye are not in the capital, and inside and outside the third house, it is all up to you to take care of. Don't mention anything else, I'm afraid that Yu Yu has troubled you a lot. And when Yuan Yuan just came back with that illness, it was also you who sought medical treatment."

  Mr. Qi smiled and held Mrs. Zhuang's hand, saying: "What are you talking about? Aren't we a family? We're supposed to help each other out, it's only natural. Are you saying that in the future when I need your help, I'll have to be so grateful every time? Besides, little Yu has always been taken care of by her mother, she hasn't troubled me much. And Yuan is also a sensible child, not causing anyone much worry."
