The entire Marquis's mansion regrets it? Too late, their little one has become the darling of t

Upon learning that Yu Kangjing had returned safely, Shen Youxian hurriedly returned to the Marquis's residence.

He was relieved to see that he was not missing any limbs.

"It's good that you're back." He patted Yu Kangjing's arm.

"I'm sorry to have worried you, Second Brother," Yu Kangjing quickly apologized.

"It's alright, I'll go home tomorrow and let my parents know I'm safe so they don't have to send people from the Chamber of Commerce to look for me anymore," Shen Youxian replied with a smile.

At this moment, he noticed Chen Dongxi standing behind Yu Kangjing and asked with some confusion, "Who's this?"

"This is Xi'er," Yu Kangjing introduced with a smile.

Fearing that directly revealing Chen Dahu's death would bring up Chen Dongxi's painful past, Shen Jinzhu quickly tugged at her husband's arm and whispered to her second brother, "Her father died saving her husband, and he's been living with us ever since."

Shen Youxian nodded thoughtfully.

Chen Dongxi pursed her lips, her mind starting to wander.

Why was Aunt Shen whispering to that man? Was she talking badly about her?

Is he planning to kick her out, just like that old woman?

"Since it's our first meeting, I didn't have time to prepare a gift, so please accept this silver lock." Shen Youxian gave the small silver lock that he originally bought for Yu Ningyao to Chen Dongxi.

Yu Kangjing gently nudged her, reminding her, "Hurry up and thank Uncle Shen."

This was the first time Chen Dongxi had received a gift made of silver. She quickly extended both hands and shyly thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Uncle Shen."

She thought that perhaps she had misunderstood something.

Aunt Shen and Uncle Shen are probably not bad people.

Why would a bad person send her something so valuable?

As they chatted and laughed, Yu Ziheng and his brothers returned.

"Dad, you're finally back!" Upon seeing her father, Yu Ziying ran straight to him and threw herself into his arms.

Yu Kangjing happily picked him up and spun him around.

Chen Dongxi, standing to the side, was filled with envy.

In the past, her father would often hold her and spin her around.

But afterwards, she never had a father again.

Thinking of her deceased father, her eyes welled up with tears.

Yu Ziheng followed closely behind, revealing a rare childlike side as she hugged his waist and cried.

"Father, you're finally back."

Even the usually taciturn Yu Zizong couldn't help but reach out and hold him tightly, calling out "Father" in a choked voice.

Yu Kangjing was quite moved. He put down his youngest son and patted the heads of his other two children.

"I'm sorry to have worried you. Don't cry, Dad is fine, isn't he?"

"That's right, that's right. It's good news that your father is back. Let's have a family reunion dinner together." Shen Jinzhu ordered the servants to bring up the food that had been prepared in advance from the small kitchen.

“That’s right, it’s also a farewell for me as your uncle. Tomorrow, I’ll be returning to Hangzhou.” Shen Youxian replied with a smile.

"Second Uncle, are you leaving already? I can't bear to part with you." Yu Ziying let go of her father's hand and ran to hug her second uncle.

Her lips trembled, and she was about to cry again.

"A man doesn't easily shed tears. It's not like your second uncle is leaving and never coming back. Next time it's a festival, your uncle will bring your cousins ​​to come see you again," Shen Youxian hurriedly coaxed his little nephew.

"Then you have to keep your word. Don't lie to me, or you'll be a dog." Yu Ziying pouted, looking extremely aggrieved.

"Okay, your second uncle will never lie to you." Shen Youxian pinched his little face.

"Alright, stop teasing your uncle, dinner's ready." Shen Jinzhu had her maid pull her youngest son to sit down and wash his face and hands.

Seeing the family enjoying themselves so happily, Chen Dongxi felt completely out of place and was immediately disappointed.

After everyone sat down, Yu Ziying finally noticed Chen Dongxi.

He pointed at her in surprise: "Who is she?"

Yu Ningyao raised her hand and answered quickly: "It's my older sister."

“I don’t have a sister, I only have a cousin, but she’s not my cousin.” Yu Ziying was very confused.

Chen Dongxi's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"This is Sister Xi'er, whom Father just brought home. Her parents are both gone, so you mustn't bully her. From now on, you must treat her as family, understand?" Yu Kangjing quickly stopped his son.

He then comforted Chen Dongxi, saying, "Ziying is still young and doesn't think before she speaks. Don't take it to heart."

Then he introduced his son to her.

“I forgot to introduce you earlier. This is Ziheng, who is two years older than you. This is Zicong, who is a few months older than you. You can call him brother from now on. And this is Ziying, who is a few years younger than you. You can call him brother.”

Chen Dongxi greeted them quietly: "Greetings, Brother Ziheng, Brother Zicong."

Yu Kangjing looked at his two sons with satisfaction: "Ziheng and Zicong, quickly greet your sister."

"Sister Xi'er." Yu Ziheng and Yu Zicong nodded to her at the same time.

Only Yu Ziying crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking at Chen Dongxi with displeasure.

"What are you doing? Why aren't you saying hello to Sister Xi'er?" Yu Kangjing winked at his youngest son.

Yu Ziying raised her chin and said arrogantly, "She didn't even greet me."

Chen Dongxi was taken aback. When she heard Yu Ziying say those words earlier, she thought he disliked her, so she didn't dare to greet him.

Hearing him say that, she quickly replied, "Hello, little brother Ziying."

"You brat, you're the younger one, you have to greet your older sister first, understand?" Yu Kangjing pinched her son's cheek.

Yu Ziying snorted and then awkwardly called out, "Sister Xi'er."

"Alright, everyone's here and we've all gotten to know each other. Let's eat." Yu Kangjing smiled with satisfaction.

……

The next day.

Yu Kangjing and Shen Jinzhu originally planned to take Shen Youxian to the dock together.

As a result, news came from the palace that Consort Huo wanted to see Yu Ningyao.

"Second Brother, then we'll have to let my husband see you off on the ship. I need to take Yaoyao to the palace." Shen Jinzhu looked at Shen Youxian with some helplessness.

"Go ahead, no need to see me off. I'm not a child anymore. I've traveled all over the country for so many years, I'm quite capable." Shen Youxian chuckled and told his sister to hurry up and change her clothes, then took his little niece into the palace.

“How can we not send him off?” Yu Kangjing replied. “Don’t worry, Madam, I guarantee I will complete the mission and make sure Second Brother gets on the ship safely.”

The couple smiled at each other, and Shen Jinzhu nodded before taking her daughter back to the courtyard to change her clothes.

Then he followed the maid who came out of the palace to deliver the message and went into the palace.

Yu Kangjing also escorted Shen Youxian to the dock.

When the news reached the eldest son's family, Cui Ruixin realized that this was a good opportunity.

The children of the third wife went to school, and the third wife and husband went to the palace and left the mansion to run errands, leaving only the new little maid in the courtyard.

God help her too.
