Qin Songyao had always treated Madam Bo at a distance. Bo Minyu was arrogant and domineering, but Madam Bo was as quiet as a deep pool, which made her spine tingle.
Just like this moment, Mrs. Bo just nodded to her, and then went to peel the fruit for the old lady.
The old lady asked her to talk, and Mrs. Bo only interrupted once in a while.
It was getting dark and Bo Siyan hadn't arrived yet. Qin Songyao was worried that the old man would be unhappy, so he mentioned it.
As soon as she opened her mouth, the old lady waved her hand and said, "It's okay, Ayan is busy, don't worry about him, let's eat what's ours."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the room was opened.
Bo Minyu walked in with a tray and said with a smile: "Grandma really loves my eldest brother. If anyone else dared to miss the family dinner even though he was in Beijing, he would probably be scolded."
"Minyu." Mrs. Bo immediately scolded her.
Bo Minyu curled her lips.
The old lady held Qin Songyao's hand, pressed the corners of her mouth without leaving any trace, and said: "Your eldest brother has worked hard for this family, so he deserves some privileges."
"It's you." The old lady used Qin Songyao's strength to get up from the bamboo chair and said, "When I met your sister-in-law, I didn't even say hello. Who taught you the rules?"
Bo Minyu choked and her face froze.
It was Mrs. Bo who glared at her, and she quickly looked at Qin Songyao, holding back her disgust, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, I haven't had time to call you yet."
Qin Songyao helped the old lady sit down, smiled appropriately, and said, "It's okay, my sister-in-law still doesn't know who you are? I'm used to it."
Bo Minyu: "..."
There was a knock on the room door, and it was the butler who came in with someone to serve food.
The old lady sat at the upper table, raised her hand slightly and said: "Everyone, please sit down."
She spoke, and Qin Songyao and others took their seats one by one.
If it were in an old house and Bo's family was complete, the rules would be even stricter.
It is an iron rule to eat without speaking and sleep without speaking. There will be no movement on the table until the meal is finished and the tea is served.
Every time Qin Songyao goes to his old house, he thinks he is there for a diet meal.
It was the same this time. For half an hour after dinner, the whole place was silent.
After dinner, at eight o'clock, Bo Siyan did not come.
The old lady didn't care and kept talking to Qin Songyao. At ten o'clock, she still had more to say.
Worried about the old man's health, Qin Songyao coaxed him back to his room.
When he arrived at the room, the old man stumbled and almost fell, which startled Qin Songyao.
"It's okay, I'm old and my eyesight is dazzled," the old man said casually.
Qin Songyao asked again and again to make sure that the old man was fine, and then returned to his room.
This is also the rule of the Bo family. You have to stay overnight during the family dinner.
After a day of running around, Qin Songyao was so tired that he lay down and went to sleep.
An hour later, probably because she drank too much water at dinner, she got up to go to the toilet.
She picked up her cell phone and saw that there was a phone number for Zhen Wenrou. She dialed back but found that there was no signal at all.
She took her cell phone out of the room, but there was still no signal.
When she looked up, she found someone guarding the end of the corridor, looking towards her.
She walked over and asked, "Why is there no signal?"
The man said: "This place is in a remote place, so it's common to have no signal."
Nonsense, how could there be no signal in a small suburban villa like this within the borders of the imperial capital?
Qin Songyao was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He said to go out for some fresh air and went out.
At night, she walked through half of the villa, but there was no signal, and she discovered something strange.
Several small gates of the villa are guarded by people with unfamiliar faces.
She pretended to take a walk and went to the old lady's yard, and found Mrs. Bo walking out of it. She frowned when she saw her.
