Ye Wen sighed and said, “Li MO is Grandma Li of the Fu Family. She was the matriarch of the Fu Family at that time. When Mu Heng was young, Grandma Li even carried him. After the Fu Family was defeated, she passed away.”
Lin Yin thought of the Wei Family’s villa and asked casually, “Did the Wei Family also hire Grandma Li to design their house?”
Ye Wen nodded and said, “It was indeed designed by your Grandma Li, but it wasn’t designed for the Wei Family. The half-mountain villa that the Wei Family is living in now is the Fu Family’s old residence. After the Fu Family was defeated, the Wei Family jumped to the top three families in the capital and bought that villa.”
Ye Wen sighed in her heart and said, “Back then, the Fu Family was the head of the eight great families. Indeed, life is unpredictable. Such a big family is shattered.”
“That’s why we have to enjoy the time we have now. We have to be with our families and be happy. Yinyin, come and look for me more often when you don’t have class in the future, understand Mu Ran smiled.
Lin Yin smiled and nodded. “I understand, Brother Mu Ran.”
Lin Yin followed him for a long time before arriving at the garden that admired the moon. There were already chairs, tea sets, mooncakes, and various snacks in the empty space in the middle. There were also several moon-viewing binoculars.
This was the first time Lin Yin had seen such a scene of admiring the moon. In the past, when it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, she was either lonely or watched others be happy.
Now that happiness had befallen her, Lin Yin felt a little uncomfortable.
Mu Xiao added something that looked like medicinal herbs to the tea set and added a lot of osmanthus. He said, “It’s autumn. Let’s cook some osmanthus tea, taste it, and admire the moon. It can’t get any more relaxing.”
Ye Wen took a mooncake and stuffed it into Lin Yin’s hand. She smiled gently and said, “Yinyin, try this. It’s delicious.”
Mu Ran smiled and said, “Yinyin, give me half. Let me tell you, you’ll easily get sick of the mooncake. You can’t eat too much.”
Ye Wen was dissatisfied. “You’re saying that Yinyin will get sick of what I give her? Xiao Ran, are you sure you want to say that?”
Mu Ran chuckled. “Mom, I’m just telling the truth. Sigh, Mom… Mom, don’t hit my face. I rely on my face to make a living.”
Lin Yin looked at Ye Wen and Mu Ran, who were fooling around, and couldn’t help but smile. Her gaze slowly landed on the mooncake in her hand.
During the few years in the slums, her adoptive mother was crazy and had long forgotten what the Mid-Autumn Festival was. Later, when her adoptive mother passed away, she learned from others that the Mid-Autumn Festival was a day for family reunification and they had to eat mooncakes.
Hence, there was once when she went to buy a box. It was the first time she bought it, she had no experience and thought that the most expensive thing was the best. She spent all her money, but it was very bad. It was difficult for the young Wei Ji to swallow it with a smile. When she tried it back then, she almost vomited.
After Wei Ji returned to the Wei Family, he probably wouldn’t have to eat such bad mooncakes anymore, right?
No matter how bad the Wei Family treated Wei Ji, there would be no lack of worthless mooncakes.
At this moment, Wei Ji, who was in the Wei Family, appeared in the Wei Family’s ancestral hall with his sister, Wei Xuan, and Aunt Li.
This was Old Master Wei’s rule. Because Wei Ji and Wei Xuan’s parents had already passed away, every year, the siblings spent the Mid-Autumn Festival, including the New Year, with the cold memorial tablets in the ancestral hall. wel xuan sat at tne Sloe, nolamg a mooncaKe In one nana ana a 10111pop m tne other, eating happily.
Aunt Li looked at Wei Xuan and smiled dotingly. From time to time, she would take out a handkerchief to wipe the crumbs at the corner of Wei Xuan’s mouth.
Wei Ji sat quietly on the futon. The mooncake in his hand was untouched, and the food in front of him was useless. He only looked at the memorial tablet above him in a daze, as if his thoughts had been sucked dry.
Aunt Li ignored Wei Ji. Every year, during the New Year and holidays, Wei Ji would be like this. In Aunt Li’s opinion, Wei Ji probably missed his dead family.
After dinner, Aunt Li stood up and said, “Fifth Young Master, I’ll bring Third
Miss back to rest first. Take care of your health here and go back to rest early.”
Wei Ji nodded at Aunt Li. “I understand. Aunt Li, you should go back and rest early.”
After Aunt Li left with Wei Xuan, Wei Ji slowly got up. He did not eat a single bite of dinner, but he took the mooncake in his hand away.
On a full moon night, everyone was immersed in their own family reunion..
