For an aristocratic family like theirs, it was fine for their children and grandchildren to rely on their family's shadow. What was there to gain from it?

If it weren't for the fact that she was afraid that her husband would fall out with her, she would have liked to whisper in his ear every day so that he could bring her son back and stop suffering in the army camp.

"Husband, Shan Er hasn't been home for three months, what is he busy with? Wasn't there a holiday rule in the military camp? Why doesn't he go home? " Ever since her son had been sent to the military camp, she had felt sad to see him again.

Ever since she was young, her son had never left her side. How could she bear to suddenly not see her son for so long?

If she didn't have the least bit of sense, she would have gone to the army camp and brought her son back.

Liu Wenjie said somewhat impatiently, "What does three months count as? Hao Er hasn't come back in almost five years, and I haven't seen you nagging at him either. " This was the difference between a child and its own.

Hao Er had not come back in all these years, and had not heard her talk about it once either.

No matter what, Hao Er was still her son. She should have been able to calm down after drinking a cup of water.

He didn't know if it was because his youngest son wasn't home, but Jiang Yingying had also whispered the reason for his absence in his ear. It made him less confused than he was before, and he more and more recalled how unfair he had been to his eldest son over the years.

No wonder the relationship between father and son was so terrible, it was caused by him.

He didn't know if there was a chance to make amends.

Hearing Liu Wenjie's words, Jiang Yingying looked at him strangely, then curled his lips. Liu Zhihao was not her biological son, so why would she treat him well? Why are you talking about him?

"Darling .."

Before she could finish, her mother came in and interrupted her.

"Master, Madam, the butler is here."

Liu Wenjie nodded, and asked his mother to invite the butler in.

The moment the butler came in and greeted Jiang Yingying, he immediately revealed his purpose for coming here.

Hearing that, Liu Wenjie suddenly stood up, his face full of surprise and joy as he looked at the butler, "What? Hao Er is back? " When did Hao Er return? Why didn't anyone notify him?

"Yes, my lord, the eldest young master returned home before he left."

Not back yet?

After such a long time, it was impossible for Jiang Yingying to not know of it. Thinking of this, Liu Wenjie stared at Jiang Yingying, then turned to the butler and said.

After the butler left, Liu Wenjie's face darkened. He frowned and looked at Jiang Yingying, asking her why did she not tell him that Hao Er was back?

Facing Liu Wenjie's questioning, Jiang Yingying clenched his fist tightly, his fingernails stabbing into her palm, raising his head to look at Liu Wenjie, he said, "Husband, do you not know?" Didn't anyone tell you when we got back to the house?

She hated Liu Zhihao so much in her heart, so how could she even take the initiative to talk about him?

Liu Wenjie took two deep breaths, forcefully closed his eyes, pointed at Jiang Yingying with trembling fingers, and scolded her for intentionally hiding things from him.

When she heard him say that Hao Er hadn't been home for almost five years, she knew that he had no idea that Hao Er had gone home, but she pretended not to hear it and didn't tell him.

Obviously, she was intentionally hiding this from him.

If it wasn't for the housekeeper's reminder that he wasn't present at tonight's feast, wouldn't he have stabbed his eldest son in the heart?

Presumably, this was Jiang Yingying's plan, to make his relationship with her eldest son become even worse.

The more Liu Wenjie thought about it, the angrier he got, and he forcefully shook his hand, "You .. Not worthy of being a mother. " With that, he turned around and left in large strides.

Seeing that Liu Wenjie had left without a care in the world, she shouted in anger. He swept all the teacups on the table with his hand and with a bang, the teacups shattered once again.

"Madam, please calm down, calm down." His mother walked in from outside and advised Jiang Yingying softly.

Jiang Yingying gasped for breath, she used her strength to grab onto her mother's hand, causing her mother to feel pain. She did not dare to make a sound, "Mother, do you think that he has taken a fancy to another woman? That's why he's getting more and more impatient with me. How can you say such words that hurt my heart? " As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks. "He wasn't like this before, not like this." When did it start to change?

Seeing how his mistress, who had taken care of him since he was young, was crying, his mother didn't feel good. She gently patted the back of his wife's hand and carefully advised her not to think too much about it.

Jiang Yingying sobbed. How could she not think about her husband hurting her so much?

Men were men. They liked to like the new and hated the old.

Should she change? Don't focus on your husband anymore. Live for yourself?

Jiang Yingying's mind was in a mess as she thought about it. She raised her head to look at his mother and asked, "Mom, what do you think I should do?" What should she do? Should she give up on her husband?

Mother sighed in her heart, and started to scheme for Jiang Yingying.

Her wife had no brains and was impulsive. If she did not protect her properly, who knew what would happen to her?

For his wife's sake, and for his own, she had to protect his wife.

After being comforted by her mother, Jiang Yingying's emotions stabilized. She wiped the tears off her face and asked her mother to help her wash and change her clothes.

She wanted to pretend. No matter how much she hated Liu Zhihao, she had to pretend that she liked him in front of outsiders and her husband.

To let others know, to let her husband know, she was a kind mother.

She would try to change it. She would try to learn it.

's mother said, and helped Jiang Yingying wash up and change her clothes, it was almost time, so Jiang Yingying smiled again and slowly walked out of the courtyard to attend the feast.

When she went to the dining hall, there was a bunch of people sitting there. She rolled her eyes and did not see Liu Zhihao.

With a snort in his heart, he walked to Liu Wenjie's side and sat down with a smile.

"Husband, why is Hao Er not here yet? Should I get someone to rush him? "

Liu Wenjie suspiciously looked at Jiang Yingying, and asked her in a low voice. He didn't wait for her to say anything and warned her not to cause any problems at the family dinner. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to protect her.

If he angered his father, the consequences would be dire.

Jiang Yingying revealed a sad expression, her eyes red, she said: "In my husband's heart, am I such a despicable person?"

Liu Wenjie glanced at her again, then softened his tone and said, "No is the best."

Seeing that his attitude had eased up, Jiang Yingying took the opportunity to admit her mistakes to Liu Wenjie, and promised that she would understand her wrongs, and would not vent her anger on Hao Er.

"Really?"

"Really." Jiang Yingying did her best to suppress the excitement in her heart, and maintained a calm tone as she said, "Just now, after Darling left, I thought about it for a long time. I realized that I have made a mistake and will not make it again. This was something she had thought about for a long time, and she had finally said it out loud.

Seeing that she had any intentions of repenting, Liu Wenjie nodded and said that he trusted her once again.

If she made another mistake like this, he wouldn't be able to forgive her so easily.

Jiang Yingying secretly sighed in her heart, and violently nodded as he said, "I understand."

Mom was right, men also had to be coaxed.

She would slowly pull Liu Wenjie back to her side.

Liu Wenjie said to her twice more before turning his head to look at Old Man Liu, "Father, why is Hao Er not here yet? Should we send someone to get him? " With that said, Liu Zhihao who had a tall stature and was brimming with killing intent walked in.

Looking at his eldest son, who he hadn't seen for so many years, Liu Wenjie couldn't help but feel excited in his heart and suddenly stood up, "Hao Er." As expected of his eldest son, he was getting more and more outstanding.

Liu Zhihao indifferently called out for his father.

Perhaps it was because Liu Zhihao's expression was too cold, but it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over Liu Wenjie's head, causing the fire in his heart to turn completely cold.

He smiled in embarrassment and asked when he had returned. How long will he be back?

"Alright, let Hao Er sit down first. We'll talk after dinner." Old Man Liu interrupted him.

After Liu Zhihao greeted them one by one, he walked to the seat next to Old Man Liu and sat down.

When Old Man Liu saw his eldest grandson, he was overjoyed. Just by saying a few casual words, he was already able to start a meal.

After a meal in silence, the men of the Liu Family moved to the study room while the women dispersed.

"Big brother, how many days have you been back?" Liu Zhiyan looked at Liu Zhihao with admiration and asked impatiently.

Liu Zhihao glanced at Liu Zhiyan, saying that he would be back in a few days.

Hearing this, Liu Zhiyan said in disappointment, So fast?

Seeing his brother who was swinging behind him ever since he was a little kid, Liu Zhihao ridiculed, "Big brother who is reluctant to part with me?" After not seeing him for a few years, the brat had grown up.

Liu Zhiyan's face turned red and retorted that he didn't.

How did big brother become a laughingstock?

He patted Liu Zhiyan's shoulder hard, seeing that he was grimacing in pain, a smile appeared in Liu Zhihao's eyes, "Your fourth brother asked how is your learning going? "Are you confident?" The Liu Family already had enough people on the battlefield, so there was no need for them to increase their numbers.

Going to the battlefield was not child's play. He could lose his life at any time.

If he wanted to protect his younger brother, he could just walk the path of a civil servant properly. As for the rest, he would leave it to them.

"Big brother, you've seen fourth brother?"

Liu Zhihao said with a smile. Not only did he see his fourth brother, he also saw their Nephew Daughter.

Hearing this, Liu Zhiyan was even more surprised. He rubbed his hands and asked, "Does my niece look good? Can she speak?"

He had sent a lot of toys to his little niece, but he didn't know if she liked to play with them.

"She's a pretty and intelligent little girl. Although she can't speak, she can clearly express her thoughts." Liu Zhihao thought about Xiaoxiao and the smile on his face deepened. "Grandfather has a portrait that he wants to take a look at."

With that, Liu Zhiyan ran over to Old Man Liu's side and asked him to take a look at the portrait.

Old Man Liu glanced at him, walked to the table, and gently pulled out a box from the drawer. He then took out a painting from inside, carefully opened it, and said in a serious tone: "You are only allowed to look, you are not allowed to touch it."

It wasn't easy to find a painting, what if it was broken?
