The next morning, Yuan Jinggeng, the seventh brother of the old manor owner and known as the "Soul-Breaking Sword" in the martial arts world, jumped out of bed, dressed neatly, and hurried back to the bedside and pushed his brother: "Sixth brother, get up!"

Yuan Liuye Yuan Wenjing turned over, opened his eyes and looked at him, then said faintly, "Seventh Master, it's been a whole night, why are you still so angry? Are you sure you don't want to lie down and sleep for a while?"

"Why are you still sleeping? It's really strange. You loved Suiyun so much in the past, why aren't you worried at all today?" Yuan Jinggeng was furious when he saw his brother's nonchalant and indifferent look. "Big brother was so angry. Yesterday, no matter how much I tried to persuade him, he wouldn't let us go into the ancestral hall to visit Suiyun. I don't know what he was beaten up by big brother... He's your own nephew, don't you care about him?!"

"It is because he is my own nephew who grew up in my care that there is nothing to worry about. Don't you know our nephew's physical strength and martial arts, and the fact that he is the apple of our eldest brother's eye?" Yuan Wenjing sighed. In the end, he was no match for his seventh brother's strength. He was pulled up from the bed by him and let him call the servants to wash him.

"Besides, no matter how angry my eldest brother is, he will definitely release Suiyun from the ancestral hall today." After washing his face and throwing the towel back into the basin, Yuan Wenjing looked at his beard in the mirror and comforted his younger brother again. Yuan Jinggen narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Why?"

"Stupid!" Yuan Wenjing stretched out his hand and tried to hit him on the head, but he dodged it neatly. He could only say helplessly: "Today, the fourth and fifth brothers will definitely come back, and probably our nephews will come with them... In front of them, eldest brother can't lose face for Suiyun, otherwise..."

Otherwise, if the position of Young Master is in turmoil again, wouldn't it be another farce of brothers fighting against each other and killing each other? The tragedy of their own brothers is still before their eyes, how can the eldest brother bear to let Suiyun face the same pain?
Tsk, fortunately he only has one daughter, so these troubles never fall on him.

When they went to find Yuan Dongyuan together, the old owner of the manor was having breakfast. When he saw his two younger brothers coming shoulder to shoulder, he couldn't help but frown and said angrily: "You two, don't you even want to give me some quiet time to eat?!"

Yuan Wenjing sat down beside him calmly: "Brother, what are you talking about? We are here just to accompany you for dinner."

Yuan Jinggeng was not willing to act like a good boy like him. Instead, he frowned and said, "Suiyun knelt all night last night. I don't know what happened today. Did you send him some food, big brother?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Yuan Wenjing secretly said in his heart that it was not good, but they were already at this age, and he really couldn't control his brother's words and deeds. He could only pretend to be deaf and dumb and picked up a chopstick of shredded chicken for Yuan Dongyuan: "Today's breakfast is well prepared, big brother, eat vegetables."

Fortunately, after a night of rest, Yuan Dongyuan seemed to have calmed down a lot, and did not argue with his brother. He just said helplessly: "Would I starve my own son to death? Besides, even if I don't order him to, I'm afraid there will be many people who will bring him food."

At his age, there are many people in his family who would choose to please Yuan Suiyun. It is human nature and there is nothing to say.

However, his son is a ruthless person. He will not touch anything unless he sees him.

He knew very well that this matter had gone off the track and turned into a game between him and his son Yuan Suiyun. However, just as Yun Chuxiu said, he could never sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice. He could not even tell his brothers about Yuan Suiyun's "great achievements". Instead, he felt a little guilty towards them. He waved to Yuan Jinggeng, motioning him to sit next to him, and complained: "Seventh brother, you are really a good uncle. You only care about your nephew! If Suiyun hadn't been in trouble, I wouldn't have seen you come to the garden to talk to me on weekdays."

Yuan Jinggeng never expected that he would suddenly say such a thing, and he couldn't help but choke for a moment. After a long while, he replied awkwardly: "Brother, then I don't want to be urged to get married by you... But don't worry, I definitely don't like men!"

He and Yuan Dongyuan were the farthest apart in age, but he was naturally middle-aged now. Yuan Dongyuan also knew that he had had several romantic affairs in the martial arts world, and even to this day there were still people who were jealous of him, but he just didn't want to get married. In his heart, he had already given up trying to persuade him, but when he thought of Yuan Suiyun, he couldn't help but feel sad, covering his face and saying, "Each of you has your own ideas... I clearly meant well, but now it's my fault!"

"Brother!" If he was angry, it would be fine, but when he was sad, his two younger brothers were at a loss. Yuan Jinggen half-knelt on the ground and wiped his tears with his sleeves. Yuan Wenjing stood up and hugged his shoulders, and couldn't help but sighed: "Brother, why are you so sad? At the beginning, Ah Xi insisted on entering the martial arts world. Didn't I oppose it wholeheartedly and ask you to help persuade her, but in the end, she left... Children will always have their own ideas when they grow up. No matter how well-behaved Suiyun was in the past, he will have some strange ideas at this age. Didn't you and I go through the same thing? But as long as a few years pass and he grows up, he will return to the right path."

After all, if two men are together and cannot have children, they will be looked down upon. Ordinary couples will flee separately when faced with great difficulties. How many people in this world can live together forever without fear of hardships?

This is how he persuaded Yuan Dongyuan yesterday, but at that time he was still angry, and he blamed himself for fooling him, and was not very willing to listen. Today he was obviously much calmer and listened to him, but when Yuan Wenjing was talking, he suddenly saw his white hair shining in the sunlight, and a feeling of sadness suddenly arose: In fact, how could the eldest brother not understand this truth? He has always been the most generous and gentle person, but he didn't have much time left, and he really couldn't wait for Suiyun to return to the right path and have children...

What's more, in the future, if the eldest brother really passes away and Suiyun is no longer restrained, who knows whether he will return to the right path or go further and further on the wrong path?
He thought for a moment and asked softly, "Yesterday I was so focused on Suiyun that I didn't ask who the man he brought back was. Suiyun has been blind in the past, and perhaps it's because he has seen too few people that he has such a preference for this man." After all, in the past, for a blind man, what difference did it make whether the person was a man or a woman, old or young?
However, after hearing what he said, Yuan Dongyuan couldn't help but sneer, shook his head and sighed: "That child is really beautiful. Not only beautiful, but also very interesting."

Yuan Wenjing's heart moved: "It seems that he is quite likable."

Yuan Dongyuanquan accepted it by default.

After eating something casually, they went to the ancestral hall and met the other two brothers. An old man in gorgeous clothes with gray hair hugged Yuan Suiyun, who was half covered in blood, and cried. When he saw Yuan Dongyuan and others coming, he complained: "Brother, you are so cruel! Suiyun is your flesh and blood after all, how can you be so cruel..."

Before Yuan Dongyuan could say anything, Yuan Suiyun said softly, "Don't worry, Third Uncle. Compared to the time when you beat your fifth cousin, Dad didn't hit you that hard."

The face of Yuan Sanye Yuan Shengzhang froze, and he could not help but scolded: "You, child, are filial, but your fifth cousin is a rotten man, how can he be compared with you."

Hearing this, Yuan Suiyun nodded calmly: "Indeed."

When he is considerate, he is always closer to your heart than anyone else, but if he doesn't cooperate, he is more ignorant of the current situation than anyone else. Even though Yuan Shengzhang had been mentally prepared, he was choked by him and couldn't help but let go of his hand and said coldly: "It seems that I am meddling too much."

Yuan Suiyun's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he smiled again.

"You are too polite, Uncle San." He said gently. "It is Suiyun who should thank you for your kindness."

Although his tone was so calm and gentle, Yuan Shengzhang still took a step back as if he had been stung by something. He didn't know why, but this young nephew who had never had a bad temper would occasionally give him some strange feelings, as if he was being stared at by a snake, so that even though he was happy to act like a kind elder and get closer to the other party, he always gave up halfway and could not achieve his wish.

Suddenly, he heard a low laugh, which seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet ancestral hall. He frowned and shouted, "Who is laughing?!"

"Sorry, I couldn't help it." Yun Chuxiu sat up straight from the beam, leaned out his head and smiled at him, not realizing that he was eavesdropping on other people's conversations. He chatted with Yuan Suiyun until midnight last night, and simply slept on the beam. He was just woken up by their conversation. His hair was disheveled, his clothes were untidy, and he looked lazy like a sleeping crabapple, but he still looked stunning, with a charming and graceful figure that startled everyone present. For a moment, no one spoke.

However, after being surprised, the Yuan family members quickly understood his identity. Yuan Jinggeng and Yuan Wenjing exchanged a knowing look, but Yuan Shengzhang could not help but snorted coldly and looked at Yuan Dongyuan and said, "Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but when will this outsider be able to enter the ancestral hall of our Yuan family?!"

Yuan Dongyuan held his forehead with one hand, really not wanting to pay attention to him. But Yuan Suiyun said sincerely: "Yes, it's all Suiyun's fault. Doctor Yun was worried about my health, so he chose to stay here. I should have driven him out last night. If Third Uncle wants to punish me, Suiyun will not say a word!"

"Yes." Yun Chuxiu also said, "If you hadn't been bleeding profusely last night and hadn't refused to let me apply medicine to you, I wouldn't have been willing to watch you here! Or should I have ignored you last night and let you faint here alone without anyone noticing..."

When he said this, it seemed like he had good intentions, which made Yuan Shengzhang speechless. Until this moment, the other old man who had been standing beside Yuan Suiyun with his hands clasped raised his eyes and looked at them, then he slowly said: "Since Doctor Yun is kind-hearted, we can only be grateful. However, the ancestral rules should also be followed. Otherwise, how can so many people in the Yuan family obey the family rules in the future? This matter will not be repeated. Big brother, what do you think?"

"Just as Binghang said, this won't happen again." Yuan Dongyuan looked at his son's back, which was no longer bleeding, but after only one glance, he turned his head away and said in a cold voice: "Get up! This matter ends here!... I just hope you can learn from this and only do what you should do in the future. Otherwise, I will punish you with family rules again!"

"Yes, my son will remember his father's teachings." Yuan Suiyun answered softly, with a respectful attitude, as if he had really reflected on himself. But Yuan Dongyuan knew in his heart that he was exhausted now... Today, he took this step back. In the eyes of outsiders, he showed his father's authority and naturally wanted to appease his son. But who knew that he actually took the initiative to admit defeat in this game?
