The gatekeeper of the General's mansion was dumbfounded.
Everything looked as if it were piled up with a mountain of silver.
Expensive and heavy!
Did Old Master Qin always send gifts like this?
The gatekeeper was shocked, and so were the servants of the General's mansion.
Even Yun Changfeng was surprised. He was practicing his sword when he heard that Old Master Qin was visiting. After wiping off his sweat and putting on his clothes, he came out. When he saw the meeting gifts piled up like a small mountain, he gulped.
They all said Old Master Qin was as rich as a nation. Seeing it now, he was indeed wealthy and powerful.
When Old Master Qin saw Yun Changfeng approaching, his face immediately broke into a smile, as bright as can be, and as amiable as possible. "General Yun, long time no see!"
Yun Changfeng thought for a moment. It had indeed been a long time. Even if they had met before, they weren't close. To him, Old Master Qin was an elder, and naturally deserved respect. "Old Master Qin."
"Don't be so formal, just call me Uncle Qin! Let's not be so distant with each other." Old Master Qin walked over, chuckling as he corrected Yun Changfeng.
Calling him Old Master Qin made them seem distant.
After all, they would be family from now on.
Yun Changfeng was slightly unaccustomed to Old Master Qin's enthusiasm. He had heard people talk about Old Master Qin before. In the business world, Old Master Qin had always been shrewd and decisive, rarely making wrong decisions, and almost no one could compete with him in business.
Moreover, he had heard more than once that Old Master Qin was not easy to get along with.
Seeing him today, rumors were indeed just rumors. Old Master Qin was as amiable as an uncle next door, making people feel close to him.
As the two walked closer, Old Master Qin lowered his voice and said to Yun Changfeng, "Before I came to your house, I went to the Night King's mansion and gave that brat a good scolding. In my eyes, no one is worthy of Shu girl. He's just struck it lucky to have three sons with Shu girl. Changfeng, don't worry, with me watching, the Night King will definitely treat Shu girl as a rare treasure from now on! And I know him too well, this is the first time he's ever liked someone. He truly likes Shu girl, he dreams of her, he calls out her name, he's completely infatuated!"
Yun Changfeng was astonished to hear this, "The Night King is so devoted?"
How could he not have seen that the Night King was a devoted lover, dreaming of Shu'er?
Thinking of the Night King's cold face, he had once thought the Night King didn't like women.
Before he knew Xiao Li was his grandson, he had wondered where the Night King had kidnapped a child from. To silence gossip, he'd brought a child to call himself father.
Now, hearing Old Master Qin's words, he felt a sense of sudden realization.
So, it was just that he hadn't met the right person?
"Alas, he has truly had a hard life. He didn't have his mother by his side since he was young. You know, staying in the palace day after day, you learn a lot of cunning. One wrong step and he became crippled. He used to dislike women sent to him, very picky. I even thought he liked men instead of women! Now I see, it's because no one was Shu girl. If he could marry Shu girl, he would definitely wake up laughing in his dreams." Old Master Qin sighed.
Unconsciously, after Old Master Qin's speech, he and Yun Changfeng seemed to have become good brothers.
When Yun Shu brought Xiao Li and the others over, they saw the two walking side by side.
They were chatting happily, as if they had met too late.
Yun Shu sighed in her heart. Her father was probably no match for Old Master Qin, that old fox.
The moment she saw Old Master Qin, she understood that Old Master Qin might be the biggest obstacle if she wanted to break ties with Zhan Tianye from now on.
She pressed her temples.
"Great-Grandfather!"
The three little ones ran towards Old Master Qin.
Looking at the three little ones, Old Master Qin's face lit up with joy, his smile stretching from ear to ear. "Oh! Come here, come here, I've missed you all so much! Come, come, three great-grandsons, I can't even hold you all. Everyone else is so envious of me!"
"I can deeply relate to that," Yun Changfeng agreed wholeheartedly.
He had been thinking since yesterday about taking the three of them to meet his colleagues in the next few days.
He would proudly show off his three grandsons to his colleagues and old friends.
His colleagues and old friends were always bragging about their grandsons and granddaughters being good at this and that. He would bring them to compare with his colleagues' grandchildren.
Yun Shu felt a sense of helplessness. Looking at Old Master Qin, who could talk someone into ruin with a single sentence, and then at Yun Xiao Jing, who was even more glib, she understood even more that some genes were truly hereditary.
Yun Xiao Jing was even worse.
It was like one mountain was higher than another.
"Grandpa Qin is my great-grandfather. I'm so happy in my dreams that I wake up laughing!" Yun Xiao Jing's little mouth was incredibly sweet.
Zhan Xiao Li didn't say much. After calling out to his great-grandfather, he stood coolly and handsomely to the side.
Gu Xiao Feng... no, Zhan Xiao Feng, who had now changed his name, was also well-behaved. Smelling the medicinal fragrance on Old Master Qin, Xiao Feng asked a few questions and then took out a small medicinal pouch he had made and gave it to Old Master Qin.
Old Master Qin looked at the three little dumplings in front of him and felt that after living to this age, he had finally become a winner in life.
He smiled and nodded, "This old man is too happy today!"
Then he said to Yun Shu, "Shu girl, can I have a private chat with you?"
Yun Shu nodded, "Okay."
Old Master Qin then said to Yun Changfeng with a smile, "Changfeng, I brought some good wine. Let's have a drink at noon when you're not busy! You go ahead and handle your business for now. I have nothing to do today. When you're free, let's have a good drink, you and I!"
Yun Changfeng was stunned. Noon, drinking, nothing to do all day?
Was he planning to stay at the General's mansion for the whole day?
Looking at Old Master Qin's amiable and approachable demeanor, Yun Changfeng smiled and nodded, "Alright!"
A moment later.
Yun Shu led Old Master Qin to a pavilion in the General's mansion.
Yun Xiao Jing and the other two were playing below the pavilion.
They played and whispered among themselves.
"Xiao Jing, Father really likes Mother. If you don't believe us, come with us to the King's mansion and ask Father." Zhan Xiao Li said.
Zhan Xiao Feng nodded in agreement, "Father is actually quite good."
Yun Xiao Jing glanced at the pavilion, his eyes darting around. "Great-Grandfather is definitely good. I like Great-Grandfather very much. As for Father, I'll test him out. I'll go back to the Night King's mansion with you all today!"
"You still haven't found out who is betrothed to Mother?" Zhan Xiao Li asked a question that concerned him greatly.
Yun Xiao Jing shook his head. "I asked Uncle Ruan, but he didn't know. He acted mysterious and said that person is guaranteed to be a hundred times better than my own father. However, I only believe half of what he says."
"Someone fifty times better? I really want to meet him," Zhan Xiao Feng said, surprised.
"Don't just talk about yourself, I want to meet him too," Yun Xiao Jing pinched his chin, a spark flashing in his eyes. He lowered his voice and said to the other two, "If Father really likes Mother, he'll definitely be jealous! Real men are terrifying when they're jealous. I'll go and verify tonight and see if he's jealous!"
"Father will definitely be jealous!" Zhan Xiao Li and Zhan Xiao Feng said in unison. They had full confidence in their father.
In the pavilion.
Old Master Qin chuckled slyly, "Shu girl, this old man never expected it!"
