SFS Chapter 95 Reunion Dinner
Chapter 95 Reunion Dinner
Qin Yunxu looked at his younger sister, who was crying so hard in his arms that she could barely breathe, with a heart full of tenderness and anxiety. His gentle gaze met that of his wife beside him, as if they were communicating their worries for their sister in a silent language.
Qin Yunxu gently reached out and patted Qin Yaoyao's back repeatedly, trying to soothe her agitated emotions. At the same time, he asked in the gentlest tone possible, "Yaoyao, did that brat Yunji bully you? Tell your brother, what happened that made you cry so sadly? Don't be afraid, as long as your brother is here, I will definitely teach him a lesson!" As he spoke, he hugged his sister tightly, giving her more warmth and a sense of security.
Qin Yaoyao gradually stopped crying and said to her eldest brother, "Fifth brother wouldn't dare to bully me! I just haven't seen you two for a long time, and I miss you a little. Let's go inside and talk!"
After entering the house, the eldest brother and sister-in-law, along with their eldest son Qin Zejun, greeted their grandmother, then their parents. The three older sisters also returned, and Zejun greeted each of them. After that, everyone sat down at the table for dinner and chatted.
Since the eldest brother had been gone for a long time, at noon today, both the eldest uncle's family and the third uncle's family came to the Duke's mansion for lunch. In the main hall, everyone sat together, and the atmosphere was lively and extraordinary.
Uncle Qin Zhenguo smiled and looked at his brother with concern, asking, "Yunxu, how long will you stay this time?" Qin Yunxu quickly replied, "When I went to the palace to meet the Emperor, he said that I could stay in the capital from now on and would not need to return to my original place."
Upon hearing this, the grandmother sitting beside him beamed with joy and asked eagerly, "Is this true?" At this moment, Yang Yanrong, the granddaughter of the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, gently took over the conversation and replied, "Grandmother, this is absolutely true." Qin Yunxu then added, "I was able to return to the capital this time because the Emperor has dispatched General Yan to guard the border, which is why I was able to escape and return. However, judging from the current situation, I will probably not be going to the front lines again in the near future."
Upon hearing this news, Grandmother beamed with joy, nodding repeatedly in approval and saying, "Excellent, excellent! Come, everyone, let's start eating! You must all be starving." With that, she enthusiastically stretched out her chopsticks and piled many delicious dishes into her bowl, instructing the servants to serve them to her eldest brother.
Fifth Brother Qin Yunji saw from afar that his grandmother was putting food into his eldest brother's bowl. He immediately pretended to be angry and deliberately raised his voice to shout, "Grandmother, you are so biased! Before, when my eldest brother was not home, I was always the first to get all the good food. Now that he is back, you only have eyes for him and don't care about my feelings at all!" After saying that, he even pouted pitifully.
Upon hearing this, Grandmother couldn't help but chuckle. She gently tapped Qin Yunji's forehead and said with a smile, "You naughty little rascal, always talking nonsense! When your older brother isn't home, my heart is definitely on Yaoyao's side, I don't have time to pay attention to you! When you get married someday, I'll let your wife teach you a lesson!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yunji shook his head vigorously, waving his hands repeatedly, and said, "Oh dear, no, no, no! Just thinking about finding a wife gives me a headache. I'll take care of this myself!" His embarrassed and helpless appearance caused everyone present to burst into laughter.
Before the laughter had even subsided, Qin Yaoyao, who was sitting to the side, suddenly remembered something. She blinked her bright eyes at Qin Zejun, who was eating, and excitedly said, "By the way, speaking of wives, I just remembered that our Zejun is engaged to the Second Princess, isn't he?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zejun choked and coughed violently. Just then, his cousin Qin Zeyi, who was sitting next to him, spoke up: "Auntie, you're absolutely right!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yaoyao's eyes immediately lit up. She excitedly moved closer to Qin Zeyi and eagerly asked, "Do you really know? Tell us quickly!" Qin Zeyi smiled smugly and nodded, saying, "Of course! I was born several years earlier than them, so I know a little about my younger brother."
Qin Yaoyao eagerly pressed, "So what do you know? Stop keeping us in suspense and tell us!" At this moment, not only Qin Yaoyao was filled with curiosity, but Qin Zefei, standing nearby, also pricked up his ears, intently waiting for Qin Zeyi to say next. The other children were even more excited, craning their necks and staring expectantly at Qin Zeyi.
Seeing the expectant gazes of everyone, Qin Zeyi was about to speak when Qin Zejun suddenly covered his mouth. Qin Zejun's face was slightly red as he lowered his voice and warned Qin Zeyi, "Don't tell anyone! Do you hear me?" Qin Zeyi struggled to break free from Qin Zejun's grasp, but the difference in strength was too great, and he couldn't break free for a moment.
After a while, Qin Zeyi finally broke free from Qin Zejun's grasp. He was panting heavily, and looking at the expectant eyes around him, he said with a grin, "Oh dear, so many of you want to hear it! But... Xiao Jun won't let me talk about it! And I can't beat him, so what should I do?" As he spoke, he deliberately made a troubled look.
Seeing this, Qin Yaoyao quickly comforted him, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your aunt is here! As long as you tell him what you know, if he dares to bully you because of this, just come to your aunt, and she will definitely teach him a lesson!" Upon hearing this, Qin Zeyi's face instantly lit up with a bright smile, and he happily replied, "Okay! Since I have my aunt's support, I can tell you everything without worry!"
