It was already noon, and everyone hurried to the kitchen to prepare food. The women bustlingly managed to get the meal ready, and the men, including Zhixin, had returned as well.
"Why don't I see Wenxuan and Wenchang? Where did the two of them go?" As everyone sat down to eat, Xue Meilin realized that her youngest son and nephew had not come back. "Wenhan, have you seen them?"
Wenhan shook his head, "I haven't seen them. Those two rascals probably got so carried away playing that they forgot to come home for food."
"That can't be right, Wenxuan never forgets to come home for meals. We should go look for them quickly." Meilin turned and hurriedly headed out.
Before she even reached the main gate, she saw her son and nephew limping back. Both were covered in dirt, and Wenchang's face was dirty with blood at the corner of his mouth. Meilin rushed over, "What happened to you two? How did you get into such a state? Who bullied you? I'll go and settle the score with them."
