【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Lu Da bit his lip. "Of course I want to marry Tao Yao and protect her for the rest of my life, but you also said that I might not be born into a wealthy family. Can I make the decision about my marriage? What's the point of making a promise if I can't make the decision?"

"If you were a girl, your marriage would not be up to you, but since you are a man, it is relatively easy to achieve your goal. It all depends on your determination. If you are really determined, you will not give up even if all difficulties arise. If you just talk about it but don't take action, you will never achieve your goal." Yun Xi sighed softly.

Lu Er pulled Lu Da's sleeve and said, "Brother, you should marry Sister Tao. Without Sister Tao, we might have died several times."

Facing the eager gazes of his brothers and sisters, Lu Da pursed his lips and said, "Okay! I will marry Zhao Taoyao. No matter whether I am rich or poor, I will never let her down."

Outside the door, Zhao Deping and Zhao De'an looked up at Tao Yao, "Sister?"

"Humph, he has a conscience!"

Zhao Taoyao turned around and ran back home, her face as red as a cooked duck.

In the courtyard, Zhao's mother whispered, "What did you mean when you said he wasn't your biological child?"

Yun Xi explained it in a low voice, and Zhao's mother opened her mouth in surprise. This, this, this, is simply ridiculous!

Madam Yun didn't even know what marital ethics were, nor did she know what pregnancy meant. She has been deceived for almost twenty years. Doesn't that mean she is still a virgin now?

"Kekeke, what should we do about the last wish left by your parents?"

When Yun Niangzi's parents passed away one after another, their only wish was that their daughter find a husband to leave offspring for the Yun family. At that time, many ruffians and old men often harassed Yun Niang, and Yun Niang could not bear it.

This is also why Madam Yun was so anxious to marry Lu Zheng after she met him again. No matter whether the child was born with the surname Yun or not, she wanted to scare away those harassers first.

Moreover, the Yun family clan was also waiting to be wiped out. It can be said that Lu Zheng's appearance was just in time. Everyone laughed at Madam Yun and felt relieved for her at the same time. But who knew that this Lu was not a good person either. Madam Yun had no elders to guide her and had been deceived for so many years.

Yun Xi said, "My parents just want the Yun family to have descendants, so they can find an orphan from the Yun family."

"Aren't you going to find another man? You're not that old now, and there's still time for you to have a child after remarrying." Zhao's mother was worried. "You can't raise a child with someone else after all."

"It's not that complicated. Just adopt a boy with good character. I don't need to rely on my son for my old age. I can support myself. I just want to find someone who will break the pot after he dies."

As for why they didn't adopt a girl? Because it was too troublesome. Even if they raised the girl well and married her off to a man, there would still be a situation where the family would be wiped out after three generations. It would be better to adopt a boy directly.

There is no need to rush this matter. Let the five children find their families first.

In this way, during the Spring Festival of the fifteenth year of Qingfeng, there was a panic and the people were afraid of everything. They all hid at home and dared not go out, making it much less lively.

Countless Eagle Guards were dispatched on the streets to capture the "flower thief" throughout the city.

Wei Dongli did not sleep for several days and nights. He first arrested all the residents of Huilinfang and took them to Zhaoyu for interrogation. At the same time, he sent his men to dig several feet into the ground and uncovered the entire tunnel.

Wow, they found a twenty-mile-long tunnel, the starting point of which is the Yun family’s old house.

"Who lives in this household?"

Wei Dongli personally walked through the tunnel, and his heart felt even colder. The tunnel started from the dilapidated house in Huilinfang, passed under the northern city wall, and ended at a hidden valley fifteen miles north of the city. If the tunnel in the imperial city was really connected to this place, the result would be...

Wei Xingli shuddered.

"Boss, this family hasn't had anyone living here for several months."

Wei Dongli glared at him, "Of course I can see that no one has lived here for several months. I'm asking this family!"

Grass! (a plant)

The number one subordinate said, "Boss, after questioning the nearby residents, they said that around September before the Lunar New Year, they suddenly heard rumors of a plague and fled to hide outside the city. The man of this family took seven people to do business, and the woman and her five children are nowhere to be found."

The second subordinate came running over from a distance, "Boss, we've found out. The mistress of this house bought a house from the government in October, right next door in Taolifang. Then in November, she went to the government to file a divorce letter."

"Let's go! Get him!"

A group of Yingyang Guards rushed into Yun Xi's house. Yun Xi was writing a new horror story "Delicious Mutton Soup" in the main room. When she saw a tall man walking in slowly, she put down her pen.

Neither side said anything, but both knew what was being said.

"Are you Yun Xi? Lu Zheng is your husband? No, your ex-husband?"

"It's me. As for Lu Zheng? Lu Zheng is not Lu Zheng."

"Not Lu Zheng? What do you mean?"

"The real Lu Zheng died long ago while fleeing the famine. No one in the entire Lujia Village survived. This person is an imposter."

"You checked? When did you find out?"

"Here's the news I got on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar year. Take a look."

Yun Xi pulled out a piece of paper and handed it over. At this moment, the five people from Lu Da rushed over regardless of the obstruction and stared at Wei Dongli closely. Wei Dongli took the paper and read it again and again. He admired the woman's efficient approach, otherwise she might not have taken down the case. After reading it, he looked up and stared at the five little ones.

"What are your names?"

Lu Da remained silent. Lu Er glared at Wei Dongli with hatred in his eyes. Lu San pursed his lips stubbornly. Lu Simei lowered her eyebrows and protected Xiao Wu. Lu Xiao Wu tilted his head curiously, "Uncle, these are my brothers and sisters, the eldest, the second, the third, and the fourth sister. I'm Xiao Wu. Who are you? Are you going to arrest us and put us in jail?"

"You're such a talker, it reminds me of someone."

Prince Bao, the famous chatterbox in the capital, is also the uncle of the current emperor.

"Since they are not your children, can I take these five children with me?"

Yun Xi looked at him and asked, "Where are you taking him?"

"Go to the Imperial City and find His Majesty. Something as serious as exchanging the children must be decided by His Majesty." Wei Dongli said, "Didn't you also write on your letter that you're looking for the children's relatives? It just so happens that the Eagle Guard is currently handling a case related to this."

Yun Xi nodded, "Okay, but I have to follow and take care of them."

"Okay, let's go!"

The Yingyang Guards arrived in a mighty procession, taking away the six members of the Yun family. Tao Yao rushed over and asked anxiously, "Auntie Yun, where are you going?"

Yun Xi waved to her, "Let's go to the palace." She then winked at Zhao's mother to reassure her, "We'll be back soon. It's nothing serious. Stay home and help me look after the house."

Zhao Taoyao didn't hesitate at all. "The Imperial Palace? Great!"

Mother Zhao was filled with worry, pacing back and forth, stamping her feet. "Why are they going to the palace so suddenly? That's so strange. And they're the Eagle Guards, are they really alright?"

As we all know, in addition to controlling the army in the capital, Emperor Dongpu also controls the Yingyang Guard and a secret army. This is also the basis for Emperor Dongpu's strength.
