The woman looked anxious. “Yes, you are our son. We went through so much trouble to find you. Naturally, we want to take you back.”

Old lady Xiao’s face flashed an ugly look, but sometimes in big things, women would be unusually calm.

"I have to go back."

"Mom!" Xiao Lin looked at the old lady.

Old Madam Xiao nodded and said, "We have to go back, but we have to take Shu Yue with us."

She looked at the two of them with gentle eyes, "Shu Yue is your wife, you have to take her with you wherever you go."

"Mom!" Jiang Shuyue shouted. At this time, the old lady was not thinking about having no one to take care of her in the future, but was afraid that Xiao Lin and his so-called biological parents would treat her badly.

"Sister, Shu Yue and Xiao Lin have been married for almost a year. She is a filial daughter-in-law. She is good to me, his father, and Xiao Lin. She is very capable. Such a big family depends on Shu Yue alone. If it weren't for her, we would have been unable to survive long ago if Xiao Lin had gone out."

The woman glanced at Jiang Shuyue, smiled and nodded, but it was hard to tell how many calculations were hidden behind this calm face.

"The two children have a good relationship. Don't worry, she will respect you in the future."

The woman nodded. "Of course. I think this child is good. We are a decent family and we would not do anything that would go against our conscience."

When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she felt relieved.

"It would be best if you can do it. You can help us take care of the house when you go back." The woman said again.

"By the way, I've been busy talking. You don't know what your family does, do you?" The woman smiled and said, "We're in business. We can't say we're rich, but..."

She smiled softly, "There are some maids and servants at home, and our house is not small. You will know when you go to the capital."

"We... haven't planned to go to the capital yet." Xiao Lin said in a deep voice.

Everyone present, except Jiang Shuyue, was surprised by this answer.

"I didn't want to know who my biological parents were in the first place. Now that you've found me and recognized me, it's not a big deal. It also allows me to know my life story."

Xiao Lin looked at the people present and said, "As for returning to the capital, I have never thought about it. I just want to live a stable life in the countryside."

"No, Xiao Lin, you have found your biological parents, there is no reason why you shouldn't go back with them." Old Mrs. Xiao was anxious. She was naturally reluctant to let him go, but she knew that this was good for Xiao Lin.

"Shuyue, please persuade her. Mom is not good at talking. You two will have a good life when you go back. You can talk, so please talk quickly."

Jiang Shuyue patted her hands, "Mom, how can I persuade you?"

"If Xiao Lin doesn't want to, I can't force him."

The woman glanced at Jiang Shuyue. From the moment she took her bracelet, she knew that this woman was greedy.

As for Xiao Lin, he should be a person without big ambitions.

However, she would not believe it so easily and had to test it again.

"Xiao Lin, since you've been to the capital, I wonder if you know that in our Tao family, your father is the eldest grandson of the eldest son, and your uncles all rely on your father. The business is in our hands, and we really need manpower."

"As for you, you are the first child of your father and I, and the eldest son. When you go back, the family business will naturally be handed over to you."

Xiao Lin shook his head, "I don't know anything about doing business."

Jiang Shuyue was staring at the two of them. She had heard of the Tao family. Could the person in front of her be Tao Yide?

The Tao family is the royal merchant family, but that was a later event. Could it be that the Tao family is also involved in this?

"You don't understand, but Shu Yue does. You two are still young, so why don't you learn it?"

Jiang Shuyue looked at the woman in front of him. Could this be Madam Tao?

She is a tough character.

In order to pave the way for her own daughter, she did not hesitate to send all her concubines to the beds of old men in their seventies or eighties as concubines, and one was even given directly to a eunuch in the palace.

Poor girl, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, in the prime of her life, but she was tortured to death by the old eunuch in just a few days.

This incident caused quite a stir in the capital at the time, but since there was no evidence, Mrs. Tao easily threw the dirty water on the concubine's daughter.

However, her legitimate daughter became Prince Duan's concubine, but that was five or six years later.

Could it be that Prince Duan is the mastermind behind this?

"I won't leave." Xiao Lin said, "Dad, Mom, don't try to persuade me. Isn't it good to be in the countryside now?"

"You...ah..." Old Mrs. Xiao took a deep breath, not knowing whether she should be happy or sad.

Madam Tao smiled gently, "Don't worry, the main purpose of our visit this time is to meet you. Now that we have seen you, we are satisfied. We can discuss your return to the capital later."

The man did not object, and they stayed in the guest room that night.

Jiang Shuyue lay on the kang, tossing and turning.

She was thinking about one thing. Since Xiao Lin's identity was exposed, why didn't Prince Duan or Prince Li just kill him to prevent future troubles?

Why send two more people?

It would be easy for them to kill Xiao Lin now. Of course, Xiao Lin would not sit still and wait for death.

"Can't sleep?" Xiao Lin asked.

"Well," Jiang Shuyue turned over and faced him, "Why are there two fake parents here?"

Jiang Shuyue didn’t understand because she had never experienced this in her previous life.

Xiao Lin had been thinking about it for a long time.

"Those people want to see what kind of person I am?"

"why not……"

"Won't kill me?" Xiao Lin asked with a smile.

Jiang Shuyue touched the kitten in her arms to hide her embarrassment.

"I have no ambition, no talent, and no ability, but maybe I am still of some use."

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Jiang Shuyue suddenly understood, as if he had suddenly realized something. "If you are smart and capable, you will pose a threat to your real brothers? Is that right?"

"good,

"Xiao Lin smiled and said, "She is indeed my good wife."

"Ahem...who is..."

"Aren't you?" Xiao Lin asked back.

Jiang Shuyue was speechless.

Suddenly, the man lifted his quilt and moved closer to Jiang Shuyue. Although the two of them were sleeping on the same kang, there was still an empty space in the middle.

Jiang Shuyue didn't even see how he got over there.

"You...you are not allowed to do anything stupid."

Xiao Lin sneered and kissed her lips gently. Although he wanted more, he held back. "Shu Yue, you can see that if you follow me, there may be danger ahead. Are you willing?"

Jiang Shuyue's cheeks were flushed, and before she could recover from her shyness, he asked her such a serious question.

Yeah, is she afraid?

Didn't she know his identity long ago?

If you are really scared, will you still stay with him?

"afraid!"

However, she didn't intend to let him know.
