Naturally, Xue Dafu and the others didn’t feel that anything was wrong.

Li Hehua’s eyes lit up as well. Jiang Yue was finally back, and Xue Yan was better off staying at home than going to practice martial arts all day. She would be happy if she could see him every day.

“Hello, we’re home.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan obediently called for them.

Xue Yan naturally knew that his mother was excited and happy after seeing him. It was just that right now it wasn’t good to call his mother in front of his adopted parents.

His mother had been looking for him for so long, hoping that he would come back. Now that he had come back, she would be more than happy to call her his son.

However, She didn’t want his family to know that he was the Crown Prince and worry about his safety. He didn’t even want to give up anything here and accompany her to the Imperial Capital.

It seemed that her son was trying to find a way to get the best of both worlds.

She could not be too hasty, in case she did not handle matters properly and hurt someone’s heart.

These were all people her son cared about. No matter who it was, she did not want to hurt them.

“Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, come over and wash your hands.” While Xue Dafu and Xue Erfu were washing their hands, he happily called Jiang Yue and Xue Yan over to wash their hands.

“Okay.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan went over.

Liu Guixia also went to take a shower.

After washing their hands, they started eating.

The meal was prepared by Yu Hongyan, Zi Cui, and Xia Han. Shao Youyue was in the front yard now, so Zi Cui and the others naturally did not have to carry the food to the back. Shao Youyue came out and ate with everyone

Because Shao Youyue was there, she was a little particular. She did not eat directly in the kitchen. Instead, she brought the dishes to the table in the central room and ate them there.

Ever since Shao Youyue had arrived at this house last September, Liu Guixia and the others had been quite considerate of Shao Youyue!s feelings.

Liu Guixia and the others could tell that Shao Youyue was from a wealthy family. In addition, they really believed that Shao Youyue’s husband had died and that she had not succeeded in seeking refuge with her younger brother. Her younger brother had gone out to study, so she was told to stay in this house instead. As such, they felt a lot of pity for the woman.

Therefore, as long as Shao Youyue was there, Liu Guixia and the others would bring the food to the main room and eat in the main room. They were afraid that Shao Youyue would feel uncomfortable.

Shao Youyue knew this very well and had always been very touched by their gesture.

“Hongyan, you can put that plate in front of Xiao. She likes to eat that.” Liu Guixia put down the dish in her hand and smiled at Yu Hongyan, who was carrying a plate of braised mutton into the hall.

“Okay.” Yu Hongyan agreed and placed the mutton in front of Shao Youyue with a smile. “It was specially made for you, so I will put it within your reach.”

Shao Youyue was naturally touched. This family had always taken care of her well. They were especially attentive of her likes and dislikes. They were all very good people. It was her son’s fortune to be raised by this family.

Shao Youyue could not help but glance at her son, Xue Yan.

When Jiang Yue saw this, she let Xue Yan sit next to Shao Youyue.

Coincidentally, there was an empty seat next to Shao Youyue, and it was better for her to sit next to Hehua.

Shao Youyue was naturally very happy to see that she could sit next to her son.

Xue Dafu had already sat down on the long bench facing the door of the central room. Liu Guixia was ready to eat. At this moment, Xue Dafu was holding a small wine jar and happily opening the wine seal, intending to drink a cup.

Now that his family did not lack money, even if there was no special occasion, there was still wine prepared at home to drink. He was already used to drinking a cup of wine for every meal except for breakfast..
