Si Mo still looked the same as always, this was no longer something new. This was because he had always been unscrupulous when the Old Ancestor's side was hurting him. This was not out of Si Yuan's expectations, he immediately understood, and let the tight-uniformed man leave.

The Si Family had been prosperous for several generations, but their main branch had never had many connections. Currently, there were only three males in Si Family. As the eldest son, Si Yuan had most likely lived with his father in the army camp since young, and as a result, he did not have a very close relationship with his mother. Years ago there had been a concubine who had been carried off her feet on account of years of service. Si Ji was the second son. He had a gentle personality and had an elegant hobby from a young age. He was quite close to Si Yuan. It was because the last Si Mo was indeed not close with Si Yuan, and because he was his youngest son, he was completely favored by the ancestor.

However, in Si Yuan's eyes, these things were insignificant in the first place. What kind of person Si Mo was, whether it was good or bad, was not within his consideration. What Si Yuan cared about was the reputation of the Si Family. It's fine if he doesn't have the backbone, but at least he can't stain the Si Family's hundred years of good name.

The capital's Palace.

An old woman in a long skirt was sitting on the bed, looking down to thump the leg of the old lady lying down. The old lady smiled and said, ”I know how filial you are, but this is not something you need to do. You should remember to come over and chat with me every day.”

Ji Xinwen withdrew his hand as he was about to raise it. The Spring Equinox and the Winter Solstice, who were standing to one side, kneeled down and stretched out their hands to pinch the old woman's legs.

The old lady was none other than Si Yuan's mother, the patriarch of the General's Estate.

Ji XIngwen sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes and face filled with worry and worry.

”Although Mother's cold weather from a few days ago has returned, I still feel very uneasy. I always feel anxious, and in the next few days I've been thinking about how to pray for Mother's blessings in the temple and also get a peace talisman for Husband. He has to travel with a few friends in two days, so I have to be careful on the way.”

”Erlang has been coming over these past few days to give his greetings. I saw that he didn't look too good yesterday. Did he overdo his studies these past few days?” You're his wife, and you're supposed to look after all this, ”he said.

”My husband stayed up all day long to read, but I also advised him not to listen. Mother, you know he's always been a bookworm, so once he found a good book, he can't let go. I had someone stew two cups of soup and left them by the side.” Ji Xunwen smiled helplessly as he placed the book down and drank two mouthfuls after the third cup.

The Old Ancestor held Ji Xunwen's hand and smiled, ”Child, you have always been meticulous in your heart. It is very good for you to take care of these matters. However, you should also take care of yourself. Don't work too hard.”

”If sister-in-law works too hard, don't you still need me to help her out?” Just as the girl outside the door informed Third Young Madam that she had arrived, Gu Yanhuan opened the curtain and spoke.

She had an unrestrained personality and was the ancestor's niece, so she was usually even more reckless. She sat here for a while, just for the sake of waiting for Gu Yanhuan's arrival.

The Old Ancestor jokingly scolded, ”You talk too much! You don't even know what we're talking about, yet you dare to toil for your sister-in-law? You want to send the soup in the middle of the night? ”

No matter if it was the girl or her wife, everyone in the room burst into laughter because of those two sentences.
