From Grandma Xiao's conversation with them, Gu Yang learned that Old Master Xiao had two sons.
Xiao Yize's father, Xiao Dingkun, had only one son. Both father and son were dedicated to serving the country.
Xiao Yize also had a second uncle named Xiao Zhenggan, who had two sons, Xiao Cheng and Xiao Che.
The family members often stayed in the army or went on missions, rarely returning home.
Unlike other aristocratic families, all three generations of the Xiao family were deeply committed to their country.
Their ancestors were known for their loyalty.
After lunch at the Xiao family's house, Tong Wan took Gu Yang and Gu Jin for a walk in the garden.
Xiao Yize followed along.
The house was sheltered by old trees, and the weather was pleasantly cool.
"Auntie Tong's mental state has returned to normal," Gu Yang affirmed.
