Chapter 358: Chapter 358 Submission Chapter 358: Chapter 358 Submission Old Lady Mo scolded her, “What nonsense are you spouting!”

“It’s the truth.”

Madam Ruan muttered discontentedly, that it was much more dignified when many people stood at the door to welcome their son home, and it gave their son face as well. Now that two had run off, it felt quite empty all of a sudden.

“Wife, stop talking. Our son has finally come home after such a long time; let’s not make him unhappy,” Mo Daoyan quietly tugged at his wife.

“I’m not foolish, of course I know,” Madam Ruan replied sulkily.

“Clip-clop, clip-clop…!”

The carriage had arrived at the door and slowly came to a stop.

“Oh my! My dear grandson, you’ve finally returned. Your grandmother has been missing you terribly,” Old Lady Mo was the first to rush forward.

When the carriage curtain was lifted, a luxuriously dressed young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old stepped down. He had a square face with rather ordinary features that resembled his mother, Madam Ruan, but his skin was tender and fair, clearly a person who had never labored under the sun.

“Grandmother, I’ve missed you so much,” Hengjian said as soon as he got out of the carriage, embracing Old Lady Mo tightly.

“Hehe…!” Old Lady Mo laughed with glee, touching his arm and feeling heartache, “Look at you. You’ve lost quite a bit of weight since I last saw you. It’s good you’re home; tonight your grandmother will slaughter a big hen for you to nourish you.”

“Hmm! Grandmother is just so good to me.”

“You are the cherished treasure of the Mo family. Your grandmother isn’t foolish; if I don’t treat you well, whom should I treat well?”

The two stood to the side, chatting as if they were the only people there.

Mr. and Mrs. Mo Daoyan rushed to pay for the carriage, fearing that they would upset their son if they were late. There had been an incident before when they were late in paying the fare, causing Mo Hengjian to lose face and sulk for several months, ignoring them until Madam Ruan sold some of her dowry to buy him a silver hair crown, which finally appeased him.

“What’s the matter? You only have eyes for your grandmother and can’t see your grandfather?” Old Master Mo’s teasing voice rang out.

“Grandfather, how could I forget you, my dear elder? You and Grandmother are the most important in my heart,” Hengjian hugged Old Lady Mo with his left hand and Old Master Mo with his right, the picture of harmonious joy, causing the two elders to laugh heartily.

Mo Hengjian dragged one with each hand, pulling them into the house like this.

Following behind, Mr. and Mrs. Mo Daoyan watched the harmonious scene and felt very happy. As long as Old Lady Mo liked their son, their branch of the family would enjoy good days ahead.

“Grandmother, I’m thirsty.” Having just sat down in the main hall, Hengjian, who had grown into an adult, looked at Old Lady Mo with a childlike plea.

“Oh dear, this old maid has become muddled, forgetting to pour a cup of tea for my grandson, who has traveled such a long way to come home.” Old Lady Mo looked around, and not seeing Auntie Sun, became a bit irate, “Where has that wretched Auntie Sun disappeared to? She knows full well my grandson is coming home, yet she’s nowhere to be seen to attend to him.”

“Mother-in-law, just now she ran out with your eldest son; you’ve forgotten,” Madam Ruan said.

“Wait until she gets back; I’ll deal with her,” Old Lady Mo said angrily, then turned to Madam Ruan, “And you, aren’t you hurrying to get a cup of tea for your son?”

“Yes, yes!” Madam Ruan quickly turned and ran to the kitchen. Her son was her apple of the eye, and she was relying on him for the second half of her life; she couldn’t let him suffer any slight.

Old Lady Mo then turned to Hengjian and said, “Grandson, how is life at the Academy? Do you have enough silver? If not, you must tell your grandmother.”
