At the gate, the old lady was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a kind face. Beside her stood two dignified daughters-in-law. Everyone in the mansion, from the housekeeper to the maids and servants, had smiles on their faces, and their eyes were full of admiration and welcome for the hero.

"Grandpa, you're finally back, okay, okay." The old lady took a few steps forward, held the old man's hand tightly, her eyes slightly red, and her voice choked with sobs.

The old man patted the back of her hand gently and comforted her: "Old lady, I'm back safely, right? Don't worry."

The old lady nodded, tears welling up in her eyes, but she still smiled with relief. She looked at the people behind her and said with emotion: "I feel relieved to see that you are all well."

The old man smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work over the years. Is everything okay at home?"

The old lady wiped away the tears from her eyes and said, "With two daughters-in-law helping with housework, I am not that tired."

Qin, who was standing by, said gently, "Father, don't worry, everything is fine at home."

The second daughter-in-law also echoed: "Yes, father, everything is fine at home."

The old Duke and his sons all looked at Murong Zixi with deep affection in their eyes. Murong Zixi bowed her head slightly, took a step forward, and then performed a standard etiquette: "Grandfather, eldest uncle, second uncle, two cousins." Her voice was clear and pleasant, as beautiful as a yellow oriole singing out of a valley.

The old Duke looked at his beautiful granddaughter and could not help but feel a surge of emotion. He still remembered that when his little daughter was just born, he also watched her grow up with great expectation. Now, his little daughter has passed away, but her blood still flows in his granddaughter's body.

"Okay, okay, Xier, you're finally back to normal." The old Duke's eyes were wet with excitement. He reached out and gently stroked Murong Zixi's hair, as if he wanted to convey all his love to her.

Qin, who was standing nearby, saw this and hurried forward and said, "Father, Mother, let's go into the mansion first. A sumptuous lunch has been prepared."

After hearing what Qin said, everyone nodded in agreement.

So, the group walked in in a mighty procession. Along the way, everyone was laughing and talking, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Along the way, the old lady kept asking the old man about his experience on the battlefield, and the old man patiently told her every detail.

Arriving at the hall, the old man sat on a chair, drank a sip of tea, and sighed: "I'm finally home. Home is still the most comfortable place."

The old lady sat beside him, gently stroked his hand, and said, "You should rest well at home from now on. You are old now, and it's time to enjoy your life. You have Yan Hao and Yan Shu. You, don't show off anymore."

The old man smiled and said, "Okay."

At lunch time, the family was divided into two tables, men's and women's, and sat together, happily enjoying the sumptuous meal.

After lunch, everyone gathered together and started talking about some daily trivial matters.

The topic gradually turned to the General's Mansion. The old man couldn't help but sighed and said in a heavy tone: "The old man of the General's Mansion once fought side by side with me on the battlefield and was my close friend. It's a pity that the General's Mansion is no longer what it used to be. It makes me feel very sad!"

The old lady continued, "Yes, that Murong Yunhai is simply worse than a beast. He has wasted the great military achievements of the old man in the general's mansion."

The old Duke looked at Murong Zixi distressedly, his eyes full of pity, and said gently: "Xi'er, I'm sorry for making you suffer all these years!"

Murong Zixi smiled and shook her head, and replied softly: "Grandfather, it's all over. Those painful days are now a thing of the past, and I am very happy now."

The old Duke nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, everything is over. Grandfather will make it up to Xier in the future. If I hadn't misjudged her back then, your mother wouldn't have..." At this point, his voice gradually lowered, and his eyes revealed deep self-blame and regret.

Murong Zixi quickly comforted him, "Grandfather, this is not your fault. You were also deceived by Murong Yunhai. If you want to blame someone, blame him for being so good at disguising himself."

The old Duke sighed and continued, "Alas, if it weren't for the old general and Murong Yunhai's good performance, I wouldn't have married your mother to him. It's too late to say anything now. Xier, grandpa wants to ask you, have you ever thought about finding your biological father? Over the years, grandpa has been having people investigate secretly, and now he has some clues."

Murong Zixi was slightly stunned, and then fell into deep thought. After a moment, she raised her head and said firmly: "Grandfather, you just came back, don't worry about these, let's talk about it later!"

"Okay, okay, grandpa will listen to Xier!" said the old man with a smile on his face.

Murong Zixi felt extremely warm in her heart. She was deeply moved by the feeling of being cared for and loved by her family.

Then, Murong Zixi was greeted warmly by her two uncles, whose eyes were full of concern.

"Thank you uncles for your concern. I'm fine now." Murong Zixi replied with a smile.

Not long after, the two cousins' cordial greetings came again: "Cousin, I haven't seen you for many years. Cousin Xier has become more beautiful!"

"Yes, Xier has really changed a lot since she grew up!"

Murong Zixi felt this unprecedented family love and was deeply moved.

She responded to the greetings from her relatives one by one. At this moment, she felt as if she was in a warm big family, full of happiness.
