Hearing Yuan Xuan's firm tone, a ray of sunlight shone into Mu Chenyan's heart. Her footsteps actually felt lighter …
Mu Chenyan held Yuan Xuan's arm as they arrived at Upper Mansion. Several important people in the family were already there.
Since there were many guests during the Spring Festival, Old Mistress had specially opened the main hall.
The main hall was spacious. On the east and west sides of the four walls, there were antique shelves made of yellow rosewood. The antiques and jades that the Old Master Yuan liked were placed on the shelves. It was obvious that they had been carefully cleaned.
The main seat was facing south. It was a spacious wooden chair with carved patterns. Next to it were a few single-person chairs that were also meticulously made. In between each chair was a four-foot square tea table.
Both Old Master and Old Mistress liked these traditional cultural things. Hence, the style of the Yuan Family's Upper Mansion still had the characteristics of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. It was also mixed with some modern elements. It was dignified and grand. Old Mistress looked even more dignified as she sat in the main hall.
Yuan Tangbai and his wife were no longer there, but their seats were still reserved for him. Next to them were Yuan Tangzhong and Yuan Tangshuo.
Yuan Zhe brought Wen Ya and sat in the seat of the eldest grandson. He was as gentle as jade and looked like a gentleman. His big hand caressed Wen Ya while he whispered something to his wife. Wen Ya revealed a quiet smile from time to time. Yuan Zhe helped her to tuck her messy hair behind her ears.
Wen Ya did not seem the least bit unnatural. She smiled at Yuan Zhe. Her face was rosy, and the radiant woman seemed to be very happy …
Mu Chenyan felt a little uncomfortable when she saw this because she knew the hidden secret between them. Now that she saw the two of them showing off their affection as if nothing had happened, she was extremely puzzled.
Could it be that the apparent harmony was more important than the real needs in their hearts?
Yuan Tian and Yuan Ran sat next to Yuan Zhuan. When she saw Yuan Zhe and his wife's actions, she exchanged glances with Mu Chenyan as if to say, "Look at how well you're acting!"
Mu Chenyan's lips twitched and she smiled at Yuan Tian.
Yuan Zhe, who was sitting opposite Yuan Xuan, raised his head and looked at Mu Chenyan. His expression did not change, and the corners of his mouth even curled into a mocking smile.
Mu Chenyan could still see the restlessness in his eyes, but there was also a hint of playfulness.
Mu Chenyan recalled the day when she overheard the conflict between him and Wen Ya in the Little Garden. He seemed to know that Mu Chenwu had returned to Luo Hai.
Yuan Zhe was very excited about this matter, but he didn't know why his brother was involved with such a person.
When Old Mistress saw that most of the people had arrived, she said, "The Yuan Family is thriving, and today can be considered a happy occasion. Everyone has gathered together to celebrate the Spring Festival. If only Old Master was still here … and Tang Bai was also here … How great would that be …"
The older they got, the more nostalgic they became. Their memories were filled with people who could no longer reappear and things that could not be reversed. Thus, the elderly had the habit of reminiscing!
The Old Mistress missed Yuan Tangbai as she looked at Yuan Tangbai's chair, choking with sobs. Everyone comforted her when they saw this.
"Mother, don't be too sad! My brother sacrificed his life for the country and is considered a hero of our country. Although he is no longer around, his heroic spirit is still there. Look at the people who have come to congratulate us these days. Aren't they all here for my brother? "
Yuan Tangshuo knew the knot in the old mistress' heart, so he quickly explained.
Mu Chenyan's body stiffened when she heard the words "die for the country". She looked at Yuan Xuan.
It seemed like the Yuan Family believed that the news of Yuan Tangbai's death was a matter of course. Mu Chenyan smiled sarcastically.
Old Mistress nodded and used a handkerchief to wipe her tears. Yuan Tangzhong said softly, "Mother, you've seen it too. Although my brother is no longer around, Little Xuan still lives up to expectations. Now that the Mu Family's Young Mistress has returned, there will be more children and grandchildren in a few years. My brother's family is thriving again!"
