"Miss, you should at least eat something. Your servant brought your favorite food over." Peony said.

Xia Yuying had already been trapped in this room for many months, and now that she only had a few days left, she didn't feel happy at all.

She had been unable to eat, and it was unknown whether it was due to anger or sadness.

"I don't want to eat it. Take it." Xia Yuying said in a sickly manner, her eyes did not have much light, and could only look out at the scenery, but could not exit. She was naturally unhappy in her heart, and could not help but feel depressed.

"Miss, no matter how much you don't want to eat, you have to take care of your body. The ban will be lifted in a few days, are you not happy that you can go out now?" There was a look of worry on Peony's face as she advised Xia Yuying.

Xia Yuying's eyes slightly rolled, but did not have much of a reaction, as though she would not be able to hear anything Peony said.

However, she suddenly came to a realization and said with a smile, "Miss, if you don't eat it, when you can go out again, I'm afraid that the Eldest Miss will bully you again."

Peony's words resonated in Xia Yuying's ears, causing her head to hurt a little. However, when she heard Peony say that Xia Weilan would bully her, she became angry and rolled her eyes, then turned around and angrily stared at Peony.

"Bring the food over, I want to eat more." Xia Yuying said fiercely.

Although she was currently eating, Xia Yuying's heart was filled with hatred. Xia Weilan had caused her so much humiliation, and it was fine if Grand Princess Ping Ning helped her, but she had endured it. And now, even Battle-King had helped her son.

However, she had been holding this in in in her heart for months. She absolutely could not forget.

Five days later.

Everyone stood at the entrance and waited for Xia Zihao to return.

She didn't want to come here, but she had no choice but to come. After all, Xia Zihao was a male servant of the Palace, and he might inherit the position of the Hou Mansion in the future. No matter how unwilling he was, he had to make things difficult for her.

"Lan Er doesn't know yet, but the Second Young Master is coming back." Auntie Xiao came over and said with a mischievous smile.

Xia Weilan looked at her in disgust. At the moment, she felt that her face was so disgusting, she obviously knew who had returned today, but she didn't want to talk to her, so she lazily gave Yue Er a look.

Yue Er nodded as if she understood what she meant, she took a step forward and said: "Auntie Xiao, our young miss has been having trouble with her throat lately, so it's inconvenient for her to speak."

"You!" The anger in Auntie Xiao's heart flared up, but after thinking about how her backer was about to return, she did not feel too angry.

"Hmph, let's see what you can do when the Second Young Master returns." Auntie Xiao whispered, and turned to leave.

Xia Weilan's eyes did not waver, this dog really likes to bark. If one day she gets tired of this woman's bark, then there would be no need for her to live anymore.

Seeing her silence, Yue Er thought that Xia Weilan was feeling sad for Auntie Xiao, so he said: "Miss, don't be angry, don't lower yourself to the same level as this kind of people, and even more so, don't be angry for people that aren't worth it, don't be angry over things that aren't worth it."

Originally, Xia Weilan was still calm, but now that she had interrupted her, she felt like she wanted to laugh. She extended her hand and lightly tapped Yue Er's head: "Normally, why don't you have such awareness, but now you seem to know how to speak."

Hearing Xia Weilan's words, Yue Er lowered her head in embarrassment and said: "Miss, please don't praise me like that."

"How can that be? Your words are straightforward and quite reasonable. I've been taught a lesson here." Xia Weilan's face finally revealed a slight smile, this brat really thought that she was praising her, how could she be so simple.

As the master and servant were talking, they heard a commotion at the door.

Xia Weilan did not want to come here to begin with, so she stood at the back. At this moment, the group did not stop at the door, and made way for him.

She didn't say anything, just lowered her head and moved to the side.

The man wore a light colored Clothes, and his face looked very similar to Xia Zhengyan's, yet carried a kind of scholarly aura. He slowly walked over to Xia Zhengyan and the others, respectfully lowering the body and clasping his hands in front of him: "Zi Hao greets father, mother."

Seeing that he was truly standing in front of him, Xia Zhengyan was naturally happy in his heart. He extended his hand to help Xia Zihao up, and with a smile that he could not conceal, he said, "Good, good, good, it's good that you're back."

When Xia Zihao stood up, he was held onto by the hand of Second Aunt, who had a happy look on his face, and his hands started to tremble uncontrollably. Her face became more and more agitated, and slowly started to shine with tears, "You, are finally back, Mother really misses you!"

Xia Zihao revealed a smile on his face, "Yes, mother. Since son is back now, he will definitely serve Grandmother well, and Father and Mother as well."

Xia Weilan was a little depressed in her heart. Why was the scene in front of her so eye-catching? Jealousy? Right now, she only wanted to look up at the sky and laugh out loud. This was her family, and yet she was looking at the two of them who were the true members of the family.

"Alright, hurry up and come into the house to talk. It's getting cold outside." Auntie Xiao hurriedly said.

Xia Zhengyan also felt that it made sense and nodded, then said a few words to let them enter first.

Only then did the group of people walk towards the main hall, leaving Xia Weilan alone there.

"Miss, please leave quickly. We won't be able to make it in time." Yue Er urged.

"You haven't been in the mansion for a long time, now that you're back, I'll get the yard from the east cleaned up for you, so you can go in and live." Xia Zhengyan said with a smile.

"Thank you, father. However, there are still many unfamiliar faces in this house. May I trouble you to make introductions? Otherwise, when you see them again, you won't feel awkward." Xia Zihao slowly said with a fitting smile on his face.
