Well, from now on she will just take good care of Kuan Ge'er and raise their child together. She doesn't want anything else.

Stir-fried spinach with garlic, loofah and lean pork slices, and a pot of rice.

Liu Shuang looked at the rare meat, and then looked at the people sitting around the table, and her nose felt a little sour. She picked up a piece of loofah and lean meat with chopsticks for Kuan Ge'er, and her eyes became redder.

Lu Yi said nothing. After filling his stomach, he spoke: "Dad, Mom, sister-in-law, I have been away from home for several years and don't know much about the situation at home. Please tell me about it today."

In the original owner's memory, the eldest brother's physique was only slightly weaker than that of ordinary people, but he had a good brain and would surely become famous after passing the imperial examination. The original owner always regarded herself as a tile that added bricks and tiles, and pursued love unscrupulously.

I didn't expect that my family would be in such a situation and couldn't even protect themselves. No wonder the original owner didn't wait for them to come and find him in that life.

Lu Jian sighed, and without hiding anything, he tore off the disguise of a big family and laid out the whole thing to Lu Yi.

Lu Yi suddenly realized that after Lu Fen inherited the title, the property he divided for the original owner's father was just a face-saving measure. It looked like he could barely get by, but in fact he could not spend it all. He also always encountered various accidents that cost him money. His previous minor official position was also dismissed. Liu Shuang and Wang Fen took care of Kuan Ge'er at home. The family lived a life of idleness and this was how their life became.

"It's fate. We, the second son of the second branch, were born as the legitimate second son. We don't have the fate of being an earl. Don't think too much about it. Live with your parents in the future. Life will become less difficult as time goes by."

Lu Jian didn't say anything about selling everything he had to support Lu Yi to study for the imperial examinations. He knew his own son was not cut out for it. As for supporting Kuan Ge'er, that wasn't something he was thinking about right now.

Lu Yi watched Lu Jian walk into the courtyard, her eyes darkening. "No life for an earl?" Lu Yi's lips curled slightly. She seemed to know how to be filial to the original owner's parents.

After living there for four days, Lu Yi also liked the little girl Kuange'er. She was obedient and well-behaved, and especially attached to her. As long as Lu Yi moved a stool to the yard to bask in the sun, a Kuange'er would crawl onto her legs before she finished eating a piece of jujube and yam cake.

"Are you daddy?"

Lu Yi paused holding the cake, and when she saw the curiosity and admiration in Kuan Ge'er's eyes, she smiled and touched Kuan Ge'er's head with her other hand, patiently explaining, "I'm not your father, I'm your father's second brother..."

As they were talking, there was a knock on the courtyard door. It was Jing Wenbo's voice, "Second brother! Are you home? I came to see you and your wife."

Lu Yi hugged the frightened Kuang Ge'er and carried him back to the bed. He exchanged a glance with Lu Jian and walked towards the courtyard gate.

"Second brother, oh my, this is indeed your biological son coming home. He looks a lot younger and less haggard than before, haha." Lu Fen patted Lu Jian's shoulder as familiarly as usual, then looked at Lu Yi and said, "I've wanted to come see you for a long time, but then I thought, we haven't seen each other for several years, so I had to leave some time for you to catch up. So, I waited for several days before coming."

The butler beside him said, "Yes, our master has lost his appetite and is only thinking about you."

Lu Jian's expression remained calm as he met Lu Fen's gaze. "Brother, I've already seen it. Do you have anything else to say?"

Lu Fen looked around the courtyard, nodded with some satisfaction, glanced at him, and then his eyes fell on Lu Yi, grinning and said, "I came all the way here, why don't you treat me to a simple meal?"
