Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Just as the family was chatting amiably, the servants outside came over and said that the two elders of the Qin family had brought their grandsons to wish the old master and the old madam a happy new year.

The two elders of the Qin family had brought their grandsons to the Xia family?

The lively house suddenly became quiet. Everyone’s expressions didn’t change, but they still had frowns on their faces.

On the fourth day of the new year, early in the morning, the Xia family received the news that Xia Jinyuan would bring his girlfriend back. This was the first bomb. The Qin family’s visit during the new year was the second bomb.

The two old madams had been at odds with each other since they were young. Even when they were old, they still didn’t get along. How did their relationship become so good all of a sudden?

They couldn’t understand why the domineering Old Madam Qin would come!

It was understandable that Old Master Qin was here.

The relationship between the Qin family’s old master and the Xia family’s own old master was civil. When Old Master Qin went overseas for a visit as a diplomat, Grandpa Xia, who was still in the military back then, had accompanied him overseas many times. Although they didn’t share a family relationship, they still interacted. However, after the two old masters retired, their relationship gradually faded.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The two old madams would never visit each other to wish the other person a

happy new year.

Besides the old madam and old master, the other elders were stunned. They looked at the old madam and old master who stood up to welcome the guests. The old madam even instructed them, “Old Madam Qin will give you guys an explanation later. You can’t say anything you shouldn’t say.”

This was to remind the juniors not to reveal their ‘discord’ on their faces. The people who had come were guests. They could not give the elderly a hard time.

Then, she said to Eldest Aunt, “Come out with us.” The rest of them would wait for Old Madam Qin to enter the house before getting up.

There were many people with the surname Qin in the capital city, but only the Qin family, a family of diplomats, could come to the Xia family directly.

Ye Jian didn’t expect it to be the Qin family she knew. Xia Jinyuan had already reacted, especially when he heard that the Qin family’s grandchildren had come to pay their respects to the old madam and old master. He couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows and smile.

One never visited unless one needed something. It seemed like something had happened. The old madam of the Qin family was one of the three iron-blooded ladies in the past. Why would she come to the Xia family for no reason?

Xia Jinyuan wasn’t the only one who thought so. The rest of the Xia family thought so too.

At this moment, Old Madam Qin was already holding hands with the old madam. She said amiably, “I haven’t gone out for a long time. I was thinking that if I didn’t come out to visit my friends now, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to do anything even if I wanted to in a few years.”

That was true. When one was old, the less time one would have. Who knew what would happen in the future? It was better to come out more while one could still walk.

The old madam couldn’t help but feel emotional when she heard that.

Their generation was getting smaller and smaller. Half a month ago, an old acquaintance passed away in his sleep and went to heaven.

That was when the two of them met again, and they met under such sad circumstances. The two of them held hands and said many considerate words. They recalled what had happened when they were young. More than half of their conversations were about friends who had passed away in their sleep. Back then, the two of them were known as one of the three iron-blooded ladies in the military.

For a moment, they were less distant and grew closer. Old Master Qin and his wife brought their grandchildren over for the new year. It could be seen that the relationship between the two families would get better and better.

The old madam smiled and said, “That’s right. I thought that the house would be quiet for the next few days, so I planned to go to your house to visit.. Who knew that you’d still be as nimble as when you were young?”
