Fortunately, the day went quite smoothly. With Yin Lanxu accompanying them throughout, Qi Sanshun and Qi Jiaer, along with several children from other families, had a great time playing inside and outside the Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion. Most guests were military generals, and their children rarely sought to outdo others in speech to gain advantage. Coupled with Qi Sanshun's boldness and Qi Jiaer's cleverness, the day ended without any conflicts, and they even made a few close friends.
After sending off the guests, the family gathered in the room of Marquess Zhongyong's wife, Madam Cao, who asked with a smile how the two little ones enjoyed playing.
Qi Jiaer, still in high spirits, answered eagerly, "Grandma, we had so much fun, and everyone liked us. Sister was looking after us, and Brother Sanshun and I felt so secure. We didn't worry at all about anyone daring to bully us."
Madam Cao nodded at Ye Xinyan, "Our Xinyan really has grown up and become sensible."
