Chapter 681: Chapter 681: Visiting the Old Ancestor

Upon hearing this, Jiangli glanced at Duan Jianchuan and Fu Shiyan.

Seeing that both of them seemed unaware, Jiangli said, "Then you can assume I saw it wrong."

Duan Jianchuan was slightly stunned.

He seemed even more confused about what Jiangli meant.

Fu Shiyan cast a glance at Qing Yue, seemingly sizing him up.

A second later, he asked Duan Jianchuan, "Jianchuan, what did you mean by that sentence just now?"

Duan Jianchuan seemed to remember why he had come and said with a straight posture, "I came over to inform Third Brother and the Abbot that Uncle Pei Jiu and Uncle Du have arrived, saying they have something important and request to see the Abbot."

Duan Jianchuan glanced at Jiangli and added quietly.

"Although we’re not familiar with them, they have come to see the Abbot, so I could only come and inquire about the Abbot’s wishes."

Xia Xin understood.

No wonder Duan Jianchuan said they wouldn’t be able to go out today.

Jiangli raised an eyebrow and said with a half-smile, "Just the two of them?"

Duan Jianchuan told the truth, "Not just them, there are a few younger ones too, but I don’t recognize them, they should all be here to see the Abbot."

Xia Xin was surprised, "How come so many people are coming?"

Duan Jianchuan shook his head, "We don’t know either, they came over as soon as the sky brightened this morning."

Xia Xin grew suspicious.

It wasn’t that he harbored suspicions of others with baseless apprehension, he truly had some doubts about the intentions of these visitors.

Xia Xin instinctively looked at Jiangli and said, "Ancestral Master, we’re not in good health, so let’s not see them, shall we?"

But Jiangli simply smiled faintly, "Why not? It’s rare for people to bring money right to our doorstep, why would we not see them?"

Xia Xin: "???"

Money again?

Xia Xin was still puzzled when Jiangli smiled at Fu Shiyan, "Mr. Fu, could I borrow a place to receive guests?"

Fu Shiyan said warmly, "Of course, there is."

He then said to Duan Jianchuan, "Have them wait in the side hall."

Duan Jianchuan gave a nod, "Okay, I’ll go and invite them in now."

Since he hadn’t received permission from Fu Shiyan and Jiangli earlier, he did not let Uncle Pei Jiu and the others come inside, only asking them to wait at the entrance.

After Duan Jianchuan finished speaking, he turned to bring the people inside.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fu Shiyan led Jiangli and Xia Xin to the side hall first.

Though Xia Xin had been staying here for the past two days, he had never left the rear courtyard due to concerns for Jiangli’s health.

It was only today that he realized how vast the entirety of the Fu Family estate was.

Xia Xin followed Jiangli and Fu Shiyan into the side hall, amazed and continually expressing his astonishment.

Qing Yue followed them with a playful look, as if eager to witness the unfolding scene.

Shortly after everyone entered the side hall, Duan Jianchuan came in with Uncle Pei Jiu, Uncle Du, and others.

Apart from Uncle Pei Jiu and Uncle Du, Xia Xin also saw Zhu Ming.

Zhu Ming’s face was still somewhat pale and he looked under the weather, but he was much better than when Xia Xin had seen him in the hospital looking half-dead.

Xia Xin saw no Yin Energy on him, which suggested he was recovering well.

Two young men followed beside Uncle Du.

One was Xu Yu, whom he had met in the hospital two days prior.

The other was even younger, with a delicate and bright demeanor, bearing the appearance of the popular cream-faced young idols of the day.

By the looks of it, he bore a slight resemblance to Uncle Du.

"Third Brother, Abbot, Uncle Pei Jiu, and Uncle Du have arrived," Duan Jianchuan led them inside and greeted them first.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Pei Jiu and Uncle Du courteously bowed to Jiangli in greeting.

"Abbot, it’s been two days since we’ve seen you, is everything well?"

Uncle Du’s expression contained a hint of almost imperceptible flattery.

Jiangli smiled lightly, "All is well, I appreciate everyone’s concern and that you’ve made a special trip to visit me."
