Before Gu Feiwan could stop him, Feng Erlang had already run out.

"Grandfather, my granddaughter has already avenged these grudges herself!" Gu Feiwan said hurriedly.

Shen Zhili has been bedridden for a long time now. His back pain is unlikely to get better. He will end up bedridden for the rest of his life.

The Xie family has long been in decline. The once glorious Lord Xie is now just a ragged, unkempt, and sometimes absent-minded old man. His beloved daughter, Xie Xilan, for whom he had planned all his life, has also passed away long ago, leaving behind a son and a daughter who are struggling to stay alive. They are like frightened birds every day. Where is the pampered and rudeness they once had?

After hearing this, Yuan Shaohui was slightly satisfied: "Good job, you finally have some of my temperament, unlike your mother, who is too kind-hearted!"

"But they still have some support, and their lives are better than those of the refugees on the border. How can this be possible? Besides, I haven't been back to the capital for decades, and the people in the capital may have forgotten my temper. This time I will let them know that I, Yuan Shaohui's granddaughter, will not tolerate anyone bullying me! Even if the late emperor personally conferred her a title of marquis, it won't work!"

Yuan Shaohui stood up and walked to Gu Feiwan, saying solemnly: "Don't worry, girl, I'll be here for you from now on, and I won't let you suffer any grievances!"

After saying this, he spread out his palm, and the small silver hairpin lay in his broad palm.

"This is something your grandmother left for me. She was so careless and left us three long ago. Your features are very similar to hers. You will definitely look good wearing this!"

Gu Feiwan stood up quickly, bowed, and then took the silver hairpin with both hands.

The silver hairpin glittered, without any sense of loneliness as if its owner had left, but rather as if it was worn in the hair of its owner every day to meet guests.

"It's so beautiful, my granddaughter likes it very much!" Gu Feiwan stroked the pattern on the hairpin. The pattern should have been engraved with a blossoming flower, but with the passage of time, the pattern became fainter and the edges were blurred. It was impossible to tell what kind of flower it was, but there was an extra layer of soft and bright light, as if the warm gaze of an elder had penetrated through time and space and fell on the beloved younger generation.

Gu Feiwan fumbled with her hair, carefully put on the hairpin, tilted her head and smiled playfully:

"Grandpa, does it look good?"

Yuan Shaohui swallowed a lump and nodded vigorously!

His wife died early and he never remarried. As a soldier, he raised two children and married them off. Now that his grandchildren have their own children, he finally decided to give the hairpin away.

When he reunites with his wife someday, he will be able to pat his chest and proudly say, "Your husband is a man of integrity and I have never brought shame upon you!"

Both the grandfather and grandson had tears in their eyes. Seeing this, Aunt Zhu felt relieved!

"Master, please take a seat. You have worked hard all night. The kitchen has prepared food. Would you like to have some?"

Gu Feiwan also wiped his eyes quickly and reached out to help Yuan Shaohui: "Grandfather must be very tired after traveling all night. Let's have a meal and rest before returning to the barracks!"

Yuan Shaohui was able to kill enemies on horseback, and he was very strong. He had never been supported by anyone before.

But just when he was about to refuse, his arm seemed to have its own consciousness and was helped to sit down by Gu Feiwan. He was actually used to it!

Yuan Shaohui spat at himself secretly. How could he take advantage of his seniority and ask for service in front of his granddaughter?

But then I became jealous again. That old thief Gu must be enjoying his granddaughter's care every day. He is so shameless!

After a while, the food was served, filling the table.

Gu Feiwan personally served the food to Yuan Shaohui, acting like a filial young man.

After Yuan Shaohui tasted a dish, he pressed Gu Feiwan down on the chair:

"The Yuan family doesn't have these rules. It's lively when the elders and the younger ones eat at the same table!"

At the next table, the attendant brought by Yuan Shaohui also said: "Young lady, the master always eats with us in the mansion!"

Gu Feiwan sat down obediently: "My granddaughter doesn't care about these customs, but I have never been filial to my grandfather, so now I want to do more."

Yuan Shaohui laughed: "You are a good child. Filial piety does not lie in these things. If you live your life well and comfortably, your grandfather will be happy. This is the greatest filial piety!"

The meal was a joyful one. Ever since Ning Weizhou went to the military tent, this mansion halfway up the mountain has never been so lively.

After eating and drinking, Yuan Shaohui did not go to rest. Instead, he took his men to patrol the area around the mansion. After making sure that everything was safe, he returned to the front hall and sat down.

At this time, Gu Feiwan had been sent back to rest. After all, she was a pampered woman.

Last night was a night of terror. Although I used my quick wit to resolve a conspiracy,

But afterwards, fatigue came over me like a wave. If I hadn't been so excited to recognize my relationship with Yuan Shaohui, I would have fallen asleep long ago.

When Gu Feiwan woke up again, she saw that the curtains were dark and she shouted in a low voice:

"Qingshuang!"

"I'm here!" It was Nanny Zhu who lifted the curtain and asked softly:

"Are you thirsty, girl?"

Gu Feiwan nodded, her throat was stinging and her head was a little dizzy:

"What time is it now?"

"It's just past midnight, Miss, drink some water and then go to sleep for a while." Nanny Zhu brought some water over.

After Gu Feiwan drank a cup of warm water, his voice finally became clearer:

"Mammy, go and take a rest. Ask Qingshuang to replace you."

Nanny Zhu wanted to say something but hesitated. She opened her mouth for a long time but didn't dare to speak.

Gu Feiwan frowned: "She went to see Wang Zhong?"

Nanny Zhu couldn't hide it, so she could only weakly reply, "Yes!"

Gu Feiwan calmed down and waved his hand: "Forget it, she has feelings for him, and Wang Zhong risked his life to save her. She can't keep things to herself. Let her go. Just remember not to let people see these, and don't let too many people know."

Seeing that Gu Feiwan didn't get angry, Nanny Zhu hurriedly replied, "This servant knows that the stupid girl insisted on going, so I specially changed her clothes with Doctor Song, and left the house among the people of the Tang Clan, and even the head of the Tang Clan didn't tell her!"

Gu Feiwan snorted coldly: "You are the only ones who believe that Tang Zhan doesn't know! But it doesn't matter, since he is the one who brought the person out, he will definitely make proper arrangements, which is more reliable than your clumsy tricks!"

After saying these words, Gu Feiwan's sleepiness had disappeared, and she simply threw off the quilt and got out of bed.

Nanny Zhu quickly lit two lamps: "If the girl can't sleep, she can chat with her husband. He is keeping watch outside the yard for her!"

Gu Feiwan was shocked, and his dizzy head was sobered up as if a basin of ice water was poured over his head: "Grandfather hasn't gone to the military camp yet?"

"Hurry, help me get dressed!" Gu Feiwan became anxious, muttering, "How can you let an elder like him keep watch for me? Why didn't you stop him? Even if you couldn't stop him, you should have woken me up!"
