In fact, Mu Jiaojiao understood Xu Shangyi, an ancient old man who was devoted to his family and clan. This was the education they received since birth.

But Mu Jiaojiao disagreed with Xu Shangyi's approach. If a person can even calculate family relationships, he will eventually lose some meaning of living.

Jiang Jin and Mu Jiaojiao didn't get to eat a meal at Xu's house after all, and after the commotion, no one wanted to continue eating.

After saying the previous words, Jiang Jin stood up, took Mu Jiaojiao's hand, and led the two children away with a calm expression.

Xu Shangyi looked at the backs of Jiang Jin and his group. The vicissitudes of life on his face became more and more obvious. His trembling body almost couldn't stand steadily. It was Xu Qinian who supported him.

"Grandfather! Take care of yourself."

Xu Qinian looked at Xu Shangyi, who had a frustrated look on his face, and said worriedly.

"Yuchuan, is Grandfather a failure?"

Xu Shangyi looked at his grandson beside him, his voice low and full of dejection. At this moment, he looked like an old man who had lost his spirit.

"Grandfather has done a good job, but the Xu family is unlucky and has bad luck."

Xu Ci heard his grandfather say this every year, and he comforted him softly. His grandfather was the prime minister, and their Xu family had been prosperous in the past, but it was just bad luck. Who would have thought that the power of heaven was so unpredictable that the current emperor would be wary of the prince?

After listening to Xu Cinian's words, Xu Shangyi sighed, patted Xu Cinian, and then asked in a low voice.

"Yuchuan, what will happen to the Xu family in the future?"

At this time, Xu Shangyi actually felt a little regretful. He should have listened to Xu Cinian's advice and been respectful to Jiang Jin and also to Mu Jiaojiao, the village woman.

"Grandfather, let us younger generations take over the future of the Xu family!"

When Xu Qinian heard his grandfather ask this, he was silent for a moment and then said to his grandfather.

His grandfather has devoted half his life to the Xu family. What the Xu family will be like in the future will be created by the younger generation!

When Xu Shangyi heard what Xu Qinian said, he was silent for a moment. There was a trace of dejection on his wrinkled face. He looked at Xu Qinian with complicated eyes and sighed slowly, saying:

"Yuchuan, grandpa is old!"

After Xu Shangyi finished speaking, he turned slightly, without looking at his descendants in the main hall, and walked out with a hunched back.

"I'm old! I'm old!"

Xu Qinian, looking at his grandfather with a face full of worry, stood in the main hall and did not move forward. Today's incident was a big blow to his grandfather.

It was as if his inner support had been suddenly pulled away, and his grandfather needed time to calm down.

"Yuchuan, grandma is going to see your grandfather. If you want to do anything, just do it!"

Old Lady Song, who was watching everything from the side, also saw that Xu Shangyi looked like he had lost his soul. She was also very worried. After she finished speaking to Xu Cinian, she was helped out of the main hall by an old maid.

Xu Qinian watched his grandparents' backs gradually disappear, then looked at the room full of family members, young and old, forced a smile on his face, and gave an order.

"It's okay, everyone go back to your rooms!"

Xu Cinian's tone was gentle, and no joy could be heard in his words, as if what happened before was just an illusion and had not affected him at all.

"Yes."

Except for Xu Shangyi, everyone in the Xu family always trusted Xu Cinian the most. They all responded, then left the main hall and went back.

Xu Cinian stood in the main hall, watching all the Xu family members, big and small, disperse, until he was the only one left standing in the empty room.

He thought that the future of the Xu family could only depend on him!

He looked down at the ground, clenched his fists, and made a decision secretly.

After Mu Jiaojiao and her family of four left Xu's residence, they went to Jin Yu Man Tang and booked a private room and ordered some food.

After a whole morning of hard work, everyone was a little hungry and didn't want to go back to the courtyard to cook.

In the private room, Yunyu and Wushuang were sitting at the table with a family of four, slowly eating the dishes that the waiter had just brought.

"Ajin, Xu family, what are your plans for the future?"

Mu Jiaojiao had almost finished eating and asked Jiang Jin who was picking up some food for Jiang Mingxiao.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jin paused in picking up the food, then resumed his position and spoke after thinking for a moment.

"If they behave themselves, I will keep them safe for the rest of their lives!"

Mu Jiaojiao nodded, indicating that she understood. Ajin couldn't ignore the Xu family after all, and she was more concerned about friendship.

Mu Jiaojiao thought again, maybe it was because she had never had parental love, so she was too indifferent to these feelings. In her eyes, blood ties didn't mean much.

If these so-called relatives only want to plot against her by relying on their blood ties, then they are no better than a friend who is sincere to her, and even less so than a partner who walks shoulder to shoulder with her.

So in the final analysis, Mu Jiaojiao is still cold-blooded.

Mu Jiaojiao thought again, why would she acknowledge He Zhouyun as her father?

In fact, it has nothing to do with blood, but from the depths of He Zhouyun's eyes, she can see true love and she can feel the sincere feelings.

There is no calculation, no interest, just pure love, pampering and indulgence for her.

"Mother, Zhao'er will no longer be close to my great-grandfather and great-grandmother!"

At this moment, Jiang Mingzhao, who was sitting next to Mu Jiaojiao, looked at her with clear eyes and spoke solemnly to her little face.

When Mu Jiaojiao heard what her son said, she was stunned. She didn't expect Jiang Mingzhao to say that. Although she didn't like the people of the Xu family, she had never thought of letting Jiang Mingzhao and Jiang Mingxiao alienate them.

In Mu Jiaojiao's eyes, Jiang Mingzhao and Jiang Mingxiao are both free individuals who can have their own ideas.

Besides, the Xu family is the two children's maternal family, so she would not object to their normal interactions.

"Zhao Zai'er, there is one thing you need to know. Your great-grandfather and great-grandmother, your father and I, had conflicts and contradictions due to our ideas or actions.

But all this has nothing to do with you and Xiaozier. If you want, you can still get close to them. Mother won't be angry, nor will she object. Do you understand?"

Mu Jiaojiao touched the head of the child beside her and patiently said to Jiang Mingzhao that it was understandable for the child to be close to his relatives, and Mu Jiaojiao did not want to deprive them of this family relationship.

When Jiang Mingzhao heard Mu Jiaojiao say this, he pursed his lips and reached out to hug his mother.

"Mother, my great-grandfather and great-grandmother are kind to Zhao'er and my brother, and Zhao'er knows that. But Zhao'er also knows that they are kind to me for a purpose.

Besides, they don't like mother, so Zhao'er won't be close to them from now on."

Mu Jiaojiao reached out and hugged Jiang Mingzhao, who had always been well-behaved and sensible. After listening to Jiang Mingzhao's words, she sighed slightly in her heart. Children of the royal family are very clear-headed!
