The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

"You eat too." Lu Zhaoling said to Jin Yuan, "Eat more fish."

It's really not easy for my junior brother. At such a young age, he has a lot on his shoulders.

At first, the Jin family was really embarrassed to eat, but gradually, they didn't care about being embarrassed, because they had never eaten such delicious and sumptuous food. Facing this table of food, if they were distracted and felt restrained, it would be disrespectful to the food.

Especially those children, they were so engrossed in eating that they didn't even raise their heads, and didn't bother to listen carefully to what Lu Zhaoling and the others were saying behind the screen.

Zheng Jingyun had almost finished eating. Although she still wanted to eat more, she forced herself to stop and put down her chopsticks.

She knew that Lu Zhaoling must have something to ask. It was impossible for the whole family to eat endlessly for a long time.

So she thought she would stop first so that her husband and son could eat a little longer.

Seeing this, Lu Zhaoling also put down his chopsticks.

Now that she has a relationship with her junior brother, she feels that she can get closer to the Jin family.

Zheng Jingyun was still more concerned about her son, so she asked about what happened today first.

"Did my Xiao Yuan bother you today..."

"No, Yuanyuan has helped the government a lot."

Lu Zhaoling took the opportunity to tell them something.

"Several children disappeared in the city, and Yuanyuan helped find them. He was delayed in returning home because he had to rescue those children."

Zheng Jingyun felt a little scared. So many children had gotten into accidents nearby, and her Xiao Yuan was also a child.

"Don't worry, the authorities will definitely catch the bad guys who kidnapped the children. However, you still need to keep a close eye on the children at home. Remind them not to leave the adults' sight and not to listen to anything strangers say. If they hear someone telling them to go somewhere to play, ignore them and go home immediately."

Lu Zhaoling glanced towards the screen. How many children did Jin Zhong have? They all sounded like sensible and kind children.

She added, "You can get some sun at noon every day, but stay away from wells and abandoned houses."

Jin Zhong and Zheng Jingyun looked at each other.

"Come to think of it, I've heard Sister Cui say this before." Zheng Jingyun thought for a moment and turned the topic to Cui Liyue.

Based on what Lu Zhaoling said, Zheng Jingyun felt that she was a very good girl and not arrogant.

However, he did not look down on them and generously invited so many of them to the restaurant, so he must be humble.

If she had ulterior motives and was willing to treat them to a meal, she herself would not have sat at the same table.

"Why did she say that to you?"

Lu Zhaoling was a little surprised. She had never thought about this.

"Sister Cui was passing through our village carrying a bag on her back when she twisted her ankle. I happened to be picking vegetables from the fields and was returning home. Seeing that she couldn't walk, I asked her if she wanted to come to my house to rest first. I could find a barefoot doctor to treat her injury."

"She alone?"

"Yes. She told me she wanted to go to the capital to look for someone," Zheng Jingyun said. "I'm quite strong, so I carried her home. Her foot injury needs a few days to heal, and my parents agreed to let her stay at our house."

"However, she saw that our family was poor and gave us a few taels of silver. Thanks to her, we were able to eat meat for a few days."

At this point, Zheng Jingyun glanced at Jin Yuan with a gentle look in her eyes. "It was during those days that Sister Cui taught me how to read and recite a few poems. She was very smart and elegant, and I was influenced by her. Later, after I became pregnant with Xiao Yuan, I told my husband that no matter if it was a boy or a girl, he should try his best to study."

Jin Zhikuan nodded and said, "Yes, Xiao Yuan's mother told me so at the time, and I agree. When she was pregnant with Xiao Yuan, she often read the poems she had learned to Xiao Yuan, and asked me to read them too."

"Sister Cui said," Zheng Jingyun said with a look of nostalgia, "when a mother is pregnant, she should stay cheerful and not argue with her husband or others. She should also try to think positively. The child will then have a better temperament."

As Lu Zhaoling listened to her talking about Cui Liyue, the image of her mother slowly formed in her mind.

Before, her impression of her mother was actually average.

Because what I heard before was that Cui Liyue went to the capital, found Lu Ming, and married Lu Ming.

This made her feel stupid.

Cui Liyue took in Jin Qiaozhen, a cousin, when she came to her house, which Lu Zhaoling felt was not very wise.

The Lu Ming family has been eating and using her things for so many years, and Lu Zhaoling feels that Cui Liyue is at a disadvantage.

In general, Lu Zhaoling felt that whether Cui Liyue had chosen the wrong person, or was going with the flow, or was intentionally using Lu Ming as a cover, it was not a smart choice.

Lu Ming is the kind of person he is now, so he must not have been a good person when he was young. Cui Liyue had really bad vision because she couldn't see that he was unreliable back then.

But now, listening to Zheng Jingyun's description, a different Cui Liyue gradually became clear.

It seems that Cui Liyue knows a lot and is not a silly girl with no vision or knowledge.

"Since Xiao Yuan was born, he has been very well behaved and easy to take care of. He is also very smart. I have always remembered what Sister Cui said. When Xiao Yuan was two years old, he asked his father to teach him how to read and recite poetry."

Zheng Jingyun seemed very grateful to Cui Liyue.

Lu Zhaoling didn't feel impatient, although what she wanted to ask more was whether Cui Liyue had told her about her background and who she was looking for.

Fortunately, Zheng Jingyun spoke up quickly.

"Unfortunately, Sister Cui only stayed with us for eight or nine days. After her foot healed, she went to the capital. I felt like she was hiding from someone. She also told me that if anyone asked about her, I must say I had never seen her."

Lu Zhaoling asked, "Did anyone go and ask about her later?"

"Yes," Zheng Jingyun said, "My dad said that judging by her accent, she's from Nanshao. But we didn't say anything. My house is far from the neighbors, and Sister Cui never left our house during the time she stayed there because of her mobility issues, so no one else in the village saw her. When we left, I took her out quietly."

Lu Zhaoling asked curiously, "Since you promised her not to tell anyone else, why are you telling me now?"

Zheng Jingyun was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained, "Because it happened so long ago, more than ten years ago. After I arrived in Beijing, I wanted to secretly inquire about Sister Cui's whereabouts, but I was always busy with work..."

For more than a year, her family of three has been working hard to gain a foothold in the capital.

"Besides, I think you're a good girl. You're so young, you don't have any grudge against Sister Cui from more than ten years ago, do you? Sometimes you look a bit like Sister Cui..."
