”It's all thanks to our father-in-law this early in the morning.”

”Old madam is too courteous. It would be the best case scenario for the general to be bathed in blood at the border. What does this old servant count as?” Zong An laughed as he placed the bag of silver in his hand into the hands of a eunuch, then turned and smiled to the Old Ancestor, ”The palace is full of clumsy servants, I will say that I need to go back and take a look, then I will take my leave.”

When Zong An and his group left, the Old Ancestor stopped smiling, but he did not leave immediately, instead turning his head to say a few words to Si Xin Hong, ”Why are you not used to living here? Is the Little girl! Little girl in the courtyard serving him well? ”

Si Xin Hong stood in front of the Old Ancestor, looking as calm and composed as ever. ”Grandmother, Yunshan Courtyard is fine, there's nothing to be unaccustomed to living here. The people serving in the courtyard are also fine. Grandmother, thank you for your concern.”

At this moment, the small Yunshan Courtyard stood in a courtyard. The originally spacious area had almost been filled to the brim.

”Alright then, you weren't in the capital before, but now that you're back, even if you're not used to it, you can only follow the rules of the capital,” the Old Ancestor said as he gazed at Si Xinhong's face, ”I heard your father say that you like to study. Your uncle is a bookworm, and you like to read books.”

This bookworm was referring to Si Ji. The General's Estate had a total of two library pavilions, one large and one small. The younger one was right beside the Yunshan Courtyard and the next one was beside the maroon garden. Most of the books in the Compendium Pavilion were ancient books and records, and most of them were used by Si Yuan as his study. The little library was normally used by Si Ji, and most of the books inside were found by him from various places to be placed.

Si Xin Hong naturally responded to the Old Ancestor, and then turned and bowed to Si Ji, ”In the future, I will have to trouble Uncle.”

Si Ji was dressed in a light green robe, white and thin, looking like a scholar. Although he and Si Yuan had not interacted for long, they could still be considered to be close. He didn't have any enmity towards this nephew of his from bastard son, so he personally went forward to help Si Xin Hong up.

”If you want to read any of the books in the small library, go and fetch them yourself. If there are any that you cannot find, tell the servants inside, they will know as well,” Si Ji explained in detail that he was going out with his good friends tomorrow and that he would not be back for a month or two.

Although Gu Yanhuan knew of the existence of Si Xin Hong, she didn't have much energy towards her nephew who suddenly came back. Especially since the Old Ancestor didn't have a good impression of Si Xin Hong, she was even less inclined to be close to Si Xin Hong.

At this time, Gu Yanhuan also just came up and casually asked a few questions, and did not say much about her body.

”The yard hasn't been tidied up yet. I've been planning to recruit a few more Little girl! Little girl s over the past two days, right? ”With just a few people, there's no need to go back and forth on night shifts. Let me see how many more people I can pull out from Miaojingyuan, and then I can wait for them to fill up before making any other plans,” Ji Xinwen said as he stood in front of Si Xin Hong, who was completely a caring aunt. ”There's nothing wrong with me there. After all, Xin Hong is a child, so he should still be more careful with his plans.”

He didn't expect that Si Xin Hong would politely reject him, ”Aunt Lao, thank you for your concern, but Yunshan Courtyard is doing very well at the moment. I'm afraid I won't feel comfortable with so many people.”

This was a small matter. Because of this sentence, the Old Ancestor disliked Si Xin Hong even more.

Sa Kuang: These few chapters are really good. The update is a bit late. I might fix it a little later because I haven't had the time to read it carefully yet.
