"Please sit down. The food will be served soon." Ye Ziyu and others arrived at Jiang Xu's yard a little earlier, and Jiang Xu pulled Ye Ziyu to sit down.

"Ayu, I'm sorry. Your grandmother is old and stubborn, so she is like this." Jiang Xu explained, "But don't worry, Daddy and Mommy won't let you be accused of this unfounded crime and punished for no reason."

"Well, your grandmother may not be able to tell the difference, but Dad can." Ye Zhengde also echoed.

Ye Ziyu was originally worried that since she had just angered Madam Ye, she would be criticized and taught a lesson by Jiang Xu and the others. However, she did not expect that not only did they not teach her, but they were also comforting her.

Ye Ziyu nodded, "Well, but how is the old lady?" Ye Ziyu thought about it and asked.

"The doctor said that it was caused by some impatience, and prescribed some calming medicine. He will be fine after a few days of rest." Ye Zhengde said.

"Oh~"

"The old lady is so old, it's time for her to have a good rest and stop trying to meddle in everything." Ye Qingyin said casually.

"Ayin." Jiang Xu called out.

Ye Qingyin took a piece of cake and ate it indifferently.

"Let's go visit Master Ling in the afternoon." Jiang Xu suggested. In the past, they didn't have anyone they often interacted with, so they spent the New Year at home. But this year is different. This year, he met Madam Ling, and their relationship is still so close, so Jiang Xu also wants to visit other people during the New Year like everyone else.

"Okay, I'll follow Madam's arrangements." Ye Zhengde said with a smile.

The siblings shuddered and hugged themselves tightly.

After finishing their meal, several people were preparing to go out. "Madam, there is someone outside who claims to be your friend and wants to visit you and the master." The servant came to report.

"My friend?" Jiang Xu asked in confusion.

Jiang Xu stood up and walked towards the mansion gate, and the others followed him.

At the gate of the mansion, a carriage was parked there. The servant stood beside the carriage and saw someone coming out of the mansion, "Master, someone is coming out."

Jiang Xu stood at the gate of the mansion and watched the person in the carriage lift the curtain and lean out. It was a young girl.

"Xu'er, when did you become friends with a little girl?" Ye Zhengde looked at the little girl in front of him and confirmed that he didn't know her.

"I... I don't know her either. Is Ayin your friend?" Jiang Xu asked.

Several people shook their heads, and then another person got off the carriage. When Jiang Xu saw who it was, tears instantly filled his eyes, and he hurried down to greet him.

"Xu'er." A man who looked about the same age as Jiang Xu.

Ye Zhengde immediately followed Jiang Xu cautiously and stood beside Jiang Xu.

"Daddy's hostility is too strong. It feels like he's going to kill the person on the opposite side with a knife at any moment." Ye Ziyu said in a low voice.

Ye Qingyin smiled, "Daddy is a jealous person."

"Xu'er, I haven't seen you for so many years. Are you doing well?" the man asked.

"Of course my wife is fine." Ye Zhengde answered quickly.

"I heard that when my mother was in her hometown, she had a childhood sweetheart, and the two families even talked about arranging a marriage for the two children." Ye Jiaxuan whispered.

"Could this be my childhood sweetheart?" Ye Ziyu pondered, "But he already has a daughter, so daddy doesn't have to be so jealous."

Jiang Xu rolled her eyes at Ye Zhengde and said, "I'm fine. How about you? I haven't seen you for so many years. How are you doing?"

The man smiled and said, "Look, I'm doing fine."

"Why did you suddenly come to the capital?" Jiang Xu asked.

"Of course I came to see you."

"How thoughtful of you to come all the way here just to see Xuer." Ye Zhengde said sarcastically.

"What are you doing? Can you please speak properly?" Jiang Xu asked.

"I didn't do anything. We were just talking nicely." Ye Zhengde looked aggrieved.

"This must be my brother-in-law." the man said.

"Who is your brother-in-law?" Ye Zhengde said.

The four people behind were shocked when they heard this, "Wow, Daddy has this side of him." Ye Ziyu exclaimed.

"Ye Zhengde, are you sick?" Jiang Xu said gritting his teeth.

"Yes, ma'am, I feel sick and my head hurts. Please accompany me back." Ye Zhengde held his head.

The man was smiling on the other side, and the little girl next to him looked puzzled, "Dad, doesn't uncle look fine? What's wrong with him?"

Ye Zhengde was embarrassed when he heard this and looked up suddenly.

The four people behind heard it and looked forward suddenly.

"Aunt...Uncle?" Ye Zhengde said uncertainly.

"Well, hello uncle, hello aunt." The little girl called sweetly.

"Tell me, does Dad really want to find a place to hide now?" Ye Ziyu whispered.

The other three nodded calmly, "Absolutely."

"Third brother, is this Ping'er?" Jiang Xu asked.

"Yes, auntie, I'm Ping'er."

"Third...brother?" Ye Zhengde's face twitched, "Xu'er, why don't I remember that you have this brother?" It was because Ye Zhengde knew that Jiang Xu had a childhood sweetheart in her hometown, and he had also met Jiang Xu's brothers when they got married, so he thought that this was the childhood sweetheart who came to look for her.

Ye Zhengde now thought about what he had just done and wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

"Didn't I tell you before we got married that my third brother was studying abroad and couldn't attend our wedding banquet?" Jiang Xu said.

Ye Zhengde: Is there? I don’t remember…

Jiang Ji laughed loudly, "I've heard from my brothers before that my brother-in-law is a jealous person. Today I got to see for myself."

"Hehe...hehe, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Third Brother." Ye Zhengde laughed awkwardly.

"It's okay, this is a good thing. This way we can rest assured and it proves that my brother-in-law loves Xuer very much." Jiang Ji came to the rescue.

"Third brother, why didn't you write me a letter before you came?" Jiang Xu asked.

"I was communicating with Dad before, and he mentioned that Ayu had been found and brought back. I also thought that I hadn't seen you for so many years, so I came to the capital to see you before going home."

"Have you been away on business?"

"Yes, take Ping'er with you, so that she can see the outside world and develop a business mind from an early age."

"Ping'er is so young, sister-in-law is relieved that you can bring her out with you."

"I'm really worried. Before I left, your sister-in-law told me repeatedly to take good care of her precious daughter and make sure she doesn't get kidnapped like her aunt did." Jiang Ji joked.

"Brother~" Jiang Xu blushed.

Ye Zhengde laughed foolishly when he heard it, and Jiang Xu glared at him unhappily.

"How are Dad and Mom in good health?" Jiang Xu changed the subject.

"Everything is fine, but it's inconvenient for me to travel far. Otherwise, when I receive your letter, I would like to come to the capital to see you and the children." In the first few years after Jiang Xu got married, Jiang's father and mother would come to the capital to see Jiang Xu every two years and take care of some shop matters.

Later, Jiang's mother's health gradually deteriorated, so Jiang's father stayed at home to accompany Jiang's mother. The shop in the capital was gradually handed over to Jiang Xu to manage, and he never went to the capital again.

"Why don't I see any children?" Jiang Ji asked.
