By noon, the Song Family had returned from the ancestral grave after completing their rites.

Zhang Qingrui naturally did not participate in these Song Family activities — since she returned yesterday, she mentioned feeling unwell and hadn’t left her room all day.

Song Tianyou speculated that it might be because Song Haoran took some people on a picnic yesterday, causing Zhang Qingrui to catch a cold. For this reason, he dragged Song Haoran out on the way to the ancestral grave for a good scolding.

Luo Qiu had never seen Song Tianyou actually punish Song Haoran for real, nor did he know how Song Tianyou had scolded the Young Master Song before. But on this journey, he witnessed it.

Isn’t that the imposing iron fist of a father?

Uncle Wu said that Old Zhong would never discipline the young master in front of outsiders, fearing that it would make people think the young master is incompetent, especially in front of the villagers. However, privately, Old Zhong still favored this kind of teaching method.

Uncle Wu is someone who speaks well; at least, Luo Qiu understood the meaning in his words.

Because it was the afternoon of the last day of the lunar year, upon returning, Old Dad rolled up his sleeves, saying he wanted to personally cook and prepare a table full of dishes.

Many times, Luo Qiu actually felt that Song Tianyou was no different from ordinary retirees who were so bored they could only play chess in the park to kill time.

But he is also the founder of this ’empire’ of the Song Family.

Perhaps for Song Tianyou, such leisurely days are truly precious?

“I’ll help out as well,” Luo Qiu happily suggested, which made Song Tianyou very pleased.

As for Song Haoran, he went back to his room immediately upon returning, appearing somewhat mysterious.

Of course, he always seemed somewhat mysterious, and the Song Family members were accustomed to it… or perhaps it’s more abnormal when the young master behaves normally.

However, Miss Song Ying, who was supposed to be the most normal in the Song Family, seemed somewhat silent today, and her behavior was somewhat strange — for instance, the bodyguards accompanying them noticed Miss Song Ying was inexplicably lurking near Ms. Zhang’s door.

Of course, no matter how strange the master’s family’s affairs are, they aren’t issues, so the clever bodyguards did not inquire or discuss. Instead, they quietly threw small stones that knocked on the window sill of Zhang’s Miss’s room and then turned away, hiding their merits and fame.

The Song Family’s ancestral house is quite an old-style building, with windows that open from the bottom up and are supported by wooden bars.

When Zhang Qingrui inside the room opened the window and saw Song Ying at the door, it was the same moment Miss Song Ying saw her.

Zhang Qingrui was stunned for a moment, then felt her face growing slightly warm, while Song Ying hesitated a bit before nodding and casually saying, “Hi.”

Song Ying was holding something in her hands at the moment.

“Is there something you need, Miss Song Ying?” Zhang Qingrui, being a well-mannered person, forced herself to suppress the awkward emotions in her heart and asked first.

Song Ying quickly said, “I heard from Uncle Wu that you didn’t leave your room all morning and mentioned feeling unwell, is that right?”

Song Ying stepped up to the window, with the two separated by a pane of glass.

“Just a little dizziness,” Zhang Qingrui said softly.

Song Ying said, “Here are some meds, take them first. Rest assured, these meds were developed by our family’s pharmacy. They are guaranteed safe… I’ve taken them several times myself.”

“Meds?” Zhang Qingrui was taken aback.

Song Ying said, “It’s some antibiotics. According to the person who developed them, they can boost the body’s immunity and kill many useless bacteria inside… Didn’t we eat something strange yesterday? I thought although it feels fine, it’s better to be cautious. Additionally, I think for safety’s sake, we should get a thorough check-up first? After all… we don’t know if there might be any aftereffects.”

“You… you didn’t tell anyone else?” Zhang Qingrui remained silent for a moment before suddenly asking.

Song Ying shook her head.

Zhang Qingrui agreed, “Then… when shall we go for the check-up?”
