After hearing my inner thoughts, the ancestors in the Dream of the Red Chamber went berserk.

Upon hearing the name "Pear Fragrance Courtyard," Jia Hu felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place it. He tried to recall all the people, places, and names he knew, but still couldn't remember. So he stopped thinking about it and focused solely on his grandfather's affairs.

Grandmother Jia immediately wanted to send someone to clean up Pear Fragrance Courtyard, but she was worried and wanted to go along. She then said to Zhang and Wang:

"Now that we have confirmation, you two can go back and rest. You can come to pay your respects when the others return and we see how things are going. Hu'er and Zhu'er, you two dear grandchildren, can also go back now."

When Grandmother Jia heard that Jia Daishan was coming back, her spirits immediately returned. Although she hadn't slept well all night, she was now full of energy.

Jia Min also assisted from the side, preparing to go with Grandmother Jia to Pear Fragrance Courtyard to supervise the servants in tidying up the house.

Seeing that Grandmother Jia was about to stand up and leave, Jia Zheng stepped forward and said:

"Mother, please eat something first. Father is coming home now, so you can rest assured. If you don't eat, especially since you stayed up all night, what will become of your health!"

Grandmother Jia suddenly realized that she had already given the order to set out the meal, so she smiled and said, "I was confused. Let's eat first, and we can clean up after we finish eating."

"Then Mother, please have your meal first. Father said he would be home this afternoon, so we can finish our meal now and then we can clean up. Don't worry, Mother, your son will come with you."

Jia Zheng said.

Grandmother Jia patted Jia Zheng's hand with satisfaction, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that after this incident, her second son had begun to grow up and was no longer the person who only focused on studying the classics and was oblivious to the world around him.

As they talked, everyone began to eat. This meal was a little more reassuring for them than the previous ones.

After everyone had finished their meal, Zhang and Wang went back hand in hand. Grandmother Jia, along with Jia Zheng and Jia Min, went to tidy up Pear Fragrance Courtyard, while Jia Hu and Jia Zhu were also escorted back to their courtyard by servants.

Jia Zhu said, "Brother, shall we sneak out and go to the door to greet Grandfather?"

Jia Hu agreed in his heart, so he told the nanny and had someone take Jia Zhu and himself to wait near the main gate.

The maids and servants tried to stop them, but they couldn't, so they just let them be. The two of them played and waited by the door.

Before long, Pear Fragrance Courtyard was ready. Grandmother Jia, feeling uneasy, led Jia Zheng and Jia Min to the gate to wait. Seeing her two grandsons there, she asked:

"What are you two scoundrels doing here?"

Jia Hu and Jia Zhu then bowed.

Jia Hu said, "We also want to wait here for our grandfather to come home."

Grandmother Jia, deeply moved, patted the two of them on the head and said:

“You are truly my beloved grandchildren. You are so filial at such a young age. Your grandfather will be very happy to know this. But you are still young, and there are adults here.”

The maids, being very perceptive, brought over stools and placed snacks and tea on the table, so everyone sat down to wait.

It wasn't until late afternoon that a servant came to report that the Duke's carriage had already left the palace.

Grandmother Jia and everyone else were extremely excited.

Before long, Jia She came in first, followed by people carrying a soft couch inside, where the Duke was. Accompanying him were two imperial physicians sent by the Emperor. When Grandmother Jia saw this, she felt much more at ease. Although there were doctors in the mansion, they were not as reassuring as the imperial physicians in the palace.

The group boarded sedan chairs, while Jia She and Jia Zheng walked together on a soft couch to Pear Fragrance Courtyard.

After settling in at Lixiangyuan.

When Jia Hu and Jia Zhu saw their grandfather's pale face, they didn't dare to make a sound and just watched silently from the side.

Seeing that Jia Min was also secretly crying, she went up to her aunt and took her hand, not knowing how to comfort her.

Seeing the Duke like this, Grandmother Jia felt heartbroken and was about to shed tears again. Seeing the two children timidly hesitant to approach, she waved her hand and called them over, saying softly:

“Your grandfather is asleep now. You should go back first. If he wakes up, your grandmother will send someone to fetch you, okay?”

Seeing this situation and knowing that his grandfather had returned home safely, Jia Hu felt much relieved. He also knew that leaving the two of them behind would only cause others worry, so he said:

"Grandmother, don't worry, I'll take my brother back first."

Grandmother Jia touched the little boy's smiling face and said, "You must take good care of the old women and maids; you must not leave anyone behind again."

Jia Hu nodded seriously, and Grandmother Jia gave further instructions to the maids and servants.

Jia Hu and Jia Zhu, along with their old women and maids, returned to their own courtyard.

Grandmother Jia then sent someone to inform Zhang and Wang, saying:

"The two of them don't need to come and pay their respects yet. They can come later. Let them rest well."

He then looked at Jia Min's red, swollen eyes and said:

"Min'er, your father has returned. You should go back and rest."

Jia Zheng then said:

"I'll stay here with you."

"Mother and sister, go and rest in the side room. I'll stay here and watch over things."

Jia She stepped forward and said, "My second brother and I will stay here. Mother and sister, please go and rest."

Looking at Jia She's bloodshot eyes, Grandmother Jia said with some heartache:

"She'er, go and rest for a while too."

Feeling Jia Mu's concern, Jia She smiled and said:

"The son is the eldest son and should take care of his father."
