When they arrived at the upper room at the back of the Public House and saw the wife of the High Duke, Xue Yan said hello. After that, everyone sat down in the upper room and chatted.

The wife of the High Duke had a kind face. Not only did she advance and retreat appropriately, but she was also extremely courteous. Whether it was to her grandson, Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, or Xue Sifu, she was extremely warm and respectful. She did not favor anyone at all.

Out of courtesy, the High Duke’s wife introduced Shao Yucen and her daughter-in-law to Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, and Xue Sifu.

The moment her daughter-in-law heard her name, she immediately acted as if she could not control herself and hurriedly curtsied to Xue Yan in an extremely flattering manner.

The High Duke’s wife’s expression turned ugly for a moment. No matter how she taught her daughter-in-law, she could not teach her the demeanor of a great family.

Shao Yucen also bowed. She followed her mother’s instructions and called out her greetings.

Logically speaking, Xue Yan was indeed Shao Yucen’s older cousin. Shao Yucen could address him formally.

Even if their family was related to the imperial family, the Shao family had been loyal to the monarch and loved the country for many generations.

The Shao family had always been very clear about their responsibilities and missions. This was also the reason why generations of Emperors trusted the Shao family.

As the matriarch of the Shao family, to ensure that the Shao family could continue to be passed down from generation to generation, loyalty and love for the country had always flourished.

In the future, how could she be at ease to hand over the position of the mistress of the household to her eldest daughter-in-law?

When his eldest aunt and younger cousin greeted him, regardless of whether it was out of kinship or out of courtesy, Xue Yan also greeted them back.

However, he couldn’t help but think of his previous life.

In his previous life, all the men, women, and children of the Shao family died in battle in the Great South. At that time, Duke Shao, Madam You, and Shao Yucen were not included.

In his previous life, before the war broke out in the South, his grandfather had already passed away. His eldest uncle had inherited the title of Duke and became the new Duke Shao.

Shao Yucen had also died. It seemed that she had given birth to a child. The child fell ill and passed away after a few days. Then, she became depressed and her health worsened. She slowly passed away. He did not know the details. He only knew that Shao Yucen’s husband was a general under Shao Shuting. That general was from the Southern Army and died in the South. At that time, that general was also promoted by Prince Yi.

In his previous life, the Shao family had long dominated the South and no longer stayed in the Imperial Capital. Therefore, although he had met all of them in his previous life, he had never met the rest of the Shao family.

They stayed in the upper room for a while and talked for a while. Seeing that it was still early for lunch, they decided to go to the study room and talk about something else.

Xue Yan stood up.

Jiang Yue also stood up and got down from the stool.

Xue Yan subconsciously held Jiang Yue’s hand as they walked.

Jiang Yue was also used to it. She just let Xue Yan lead her to the study room with Xue Sifu, Duke Shao, Shao Boqi, and Shao Zhongxi.
