Grandma Xiao returned from outside and was helped into the house by Uncle Tang. Seeing that her third and fourth sons had come back safely, she finally heaved a sigh of relief. Then the old lady asked, "I heard you ran into Yebai?"
"No." Xiao Shuzhu shook her head, "Yebai has been too busy to meet with us."
Xiao Shuju quickly added, "Mengjin must be with Yebai. Without him, we wouldn't have known how to explain things to Mengjin."
"I didn't expect that child to have such good feelings towards Yebai. They never mentioned it themselves before." Grandma Xiao was surprised by Zhao Mengjin's unexpected closeness to Xiao Yebai.
Following this, Xiao Jianming told the second son to take the third son up to the room, leaving the third daughter, Xiao Shuju, downstairs.
Earlier, when Xiao Shulan's gaze swept her way with unease, Xiao Shuju already felt that something had happened, which she had yet to hear about.
