Su Zhiyan asked, "Big brother, I heard that the Saint King came to your house today? "But what is it?"

From what he knew, Prince Xian only cared about the matters of the wind, the flowers and the moon, and did not participate in the battles in the imperial court. He was fine, why would he come to look for Su Zhizhong?

"It's not a serious matter. It's just that the Prince and his family came to the village to celebrate the new year. When they heard that our family was here, they came to visit us. They also mentioned the recent situation in the capital."

Su Zhizhong said casually.

It was as if Prince Xian had really come just to visit.

"So that's how it is." Su Zhiyan did not have much understanding about the Virtuous Dragon King, so he did not suspect anything.

He rejoiced in his heart. The owner of this manor was actually a Prince Xian? Relying on his Su Family and his friendship, Su Zongwen's days would not be too difficult.

His worry for the past few months was finally lifted.

"Has Your Highness said anything about the current situation in the capital?"

Su Zhiyan was also a little concerned about the situation in the capital, so he asked.

Su Zhizhong slightly nodded his head, "According to what Your Highness has said, Prince Su had won two battles not long ago, and now he is like a fish in water in the imperial court. His prestige is extremely high, and the emperor is becoming more and more satisfied with him."

Pausing, he lifted the teacup and took a sip of tea. "Not only that, my situation in the harem has also improved. There are already signs of me regaining the Sacred Heart …"

"Very good!"

After Su Zhiyan heard these words, he could not hide the joy in his heart. No wonder his brother was so happy, he had heard of these two joyous events.

As Su Zhizhong said this, he no longer spoke, and seemed to have some concerns. He glanced at Su Zhiyan who was still immersed in happiness and quietly changed the topic.

"Today, the prince just so happened to bring back Zong Wen and Little Bamboo's family, so I wanted to call you guys over as well. It's rare for a large family to get together, so we should have a lively meal together."

"Big brother is right." Su Zhiyan nodded his head.

Vaguely, he also felt that there was something his elder brother was hiding from him. For a while, he couldn't figure it out, so he decided not to think about it anymore.

In the kitchen on the other side.

When Shen Zhu thought about how she still had a child at home, she stewed a soup hotpot with the pig bones at home. Other people had eaten her spicy dishes a few times, but she had already completely adapted to the taste of the chilli peppers.

After Shen Zhu prepared the soup, he looked at the vegetables that Su Yunyan had washed and told her to peel off all the vegetables one by one and put them into a clean little basket that could filter water.

Su Qingyi, on the other hand, helped to cut off the skin of the potatoes and taro.

Shen Zhu himself was in charge of the meat, the fish and pork were all sliced into thin pieces, this way it would be easy to be cooked.

After preparing all the ingredients, Shen Zhu let Su Yunyan and Su Qingyi carry the things out.

Within the dining room, dishes were placed on the table.

Seeing that the meal was about to start, Su Zongwen immediately put down the book in his hand and helped Shen Zhu to carry the soup out.

The two of them had just settled down at the bottom of the soup when they heard a burst of noise coming from the door and the faint sound of a child crying.

Not long later, Su Yixuan and Su Yixuan brought Zi Yi and Jingshu in.

The two adults had strange expressions on their faces, and Zi Yi was covered in filth, the back of his hands even having been scraped.

Jingshu's eyes were red as he wiped away his tears.

Seeing this situation, everyone in the room was shocked.

Su Qingyi hurriedly hugged Jingshu to comfort him, and under the orders of the Madame Chen, Su Yunyan went into the house to retrieve the medicinal paste.

"What do you two kids think of this child? "Why did you come back like this?" When Su Zhiyan saw that Song Ziyi was injured, he reprimanded Su Yixuan and Su Yian without saying a word, "Such a grown man, he can't even stand two children!"

Shen Zhu's heart tightened, and hurriedly went forward to check Zi Yi's injuries. Other than a slight scratch on his forehead and the back of his hand, he could finally relax.

"Second Uncle, don't blame Big Brother and the others. The kids are really good at taking care of themselves. Who knows where they went to play, making them come back with dirt all over their bodies."

Seeing that he was fine, Shen Zhu immediately comforted the furious Su Zhiyan: "Yi'er was just scratched a little, it's fine."

"Uncle, Yi'er is a boy. It doesn't matter if he's scratched a bit, Yi'er isn't in pain at all." Zi Yi asked in concern.

After hearing what Shen Zhu had said, and hearing what Zi Yi had said, Su Zhiyan did not continue to reprimand him.

Su Yixuan and Su Yian guiltily lowered their heads.

Especially Su Yian, before he left, he swore to be optimistic about his two children …

"Yi'er, how did you manage to get back like this?" Shen Zhu brought Zi Yi into the house to change his clothes, while Song Jingshu and Su Yian followed along.

"Did you get into a fight with someone?"

She understood Zi Yi's personality and asked patiently.

Zi Yi lowered his head, and upon hearing Shen Zhu's words, he obediently nodded his head. Mother had said, a man has the guts to take responsibility for his actions!

Seeing that, regardless of the tears that still hung on his face, Jingshu did not forget to defend his brother: "Mother, brother only fought for me … …"

Shen Zhu had once told Song Ziyi and Song Jingshu that they could normally play together with children of the same age, and that they couldn't casually bully others or fight with others, because those were things that only naughty children would do.

She and her brother were not bad children, but good children.

"Mother, that person is too much!"

Zi Yi interrupted.

If he didn't beat him up, it would be weird. Even if the Mother wanted to punish him, he would do it.

"Tell Mother what happened?"

Ziyi told him everything that had happened.

"A boy about the same age as me bullied Jingshu, wanting to snatch the delicious food from her hands. I wanted to protect my little sister, so I fought with him."

"Mother, Yi'er fought with someone else. Please punish me."

He did not shirk his responsibility, nor did he defend himself.

Hearing that, Shen Zhu raised his hand to stroke his head, and said gently: "So that's the case, you did it to protect my sister, why would Mother punish you?"

Zi Yi's face lit up. Did his mother agree with what he had done today?

"Yi'er, Mother has a reason for telling you today. It is called — If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If people do offend me, I will definitely offend them."

Shen Zhu thought that what he had said back then was probably not comprehensive enough, and since he had the chance today, he added on a few lines, "The gist of the words is: Normally, you cannot cause trouble and fight with others, but if anyone bullies you or bullies the important people beside you, you will beat them back and let them know that you are not someone to bully, understand?"

Zi Yi could understand the reasoning behind Shen Zhu's words.

He nodded, and secretly noted down Shen Zhu's words.

In the future, he would use this phrase as his life's motto.

However, that was all a story in the future.

Shen Zhu glanced at Su Yian from the corner of his eyes, "Second brother, who is the person who is the same age as him that Yi'er is talking about?"
