Lu Yangcai's recognition of his relatives naturally caused quite a stir in the village, but what people talked about more privately was Lu Yanzheng's life experience.

"Since Lu Lao Er's parents are here, what about A Zheng? Who are his parents?"

"Didn't the Lu family say that the other day? She doesn't know who their biological parents are, so she can only wait for them to come to her."

"How hard would it be to find one? We don't see many people around here who look like A Zheng. Unlike Lu Yancai, his father looks a lot like him. You can tell at a glance that he's from that family."

"I said, you guys are idle all day, right? Hurry up and get to work..."

At Jiang Qinyu's home, Chen looked at her anxiously, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Mom, just tell me what you want to say." Jiang Qinyu said helplessly.

Everyone heard what Chen said at Lu Yancai's house yesterday, but after returning home, Chen locked herself in the courtyard and did not come out to eat with them. Naturally, she did not say anything about Lu Yancai's life experience.

This afternoon, when Jiang Qinyu saw Old Man Lu accompanying Chen to the dining room where the whole family was having dinner, she knew that she must have something to say. However, she didn't say a word until the whole meal was over.

Chen looked at Old Man Lu with a little uneasiness. When he nodded, she looked at Jiang Qinyu and said, "Qin girl, did you hear everything we said yesterday?"

"Well, mother said that Brother Zheng is not your biological son." Jiang Qinyu nodded and pointed it out directly.

After hearing what she said, Chen seemed to be relieved and sighed, "Yes, Zheng is not our biological son either, because your father and I are infertile."

Jiang Qinyu: "..." It seems a bit wrong to say this to her?

But no matter what, if Chen was willing to confess, she would not stop her. After all, Lu Yanzheng already knew about it.

Next, Chen began to talk about the whole story, including where she found Lu Yanzheng, how she had tried to contact his family over the years, etc.

"A Zheng's situation is different from the second brother's. He was handed over to me by his mother..." Chen recalled.

At that time, she and Old Man Lu were returning to the village from outside. When they passed the official road outside the village, they met a noble lady who was giving birth. Her guards blocked the road on all sides, not allowing anyone to approach or pass.

Seeing this, the others either took a detour or went back. Only Chen and Old Man Lu, who were not in a hurry, waited there obediently.

But what Chen didn't expect was that after the lady gave birth to the child, she actually asked the nanny beside her to take the child out.

The nanny glanced around and walked over when she saw Old Man Lu and Chen.

"Do you have any children in your family? How many?" the nanny asked Chen.

Chen replied honestly, "My husband and I have no children, and we never will."

Perhaps the regret and sadness in her eyes were too obvious. After thinking for a while, the nanny handed the child in her arms to Chen. "My wife is in danger, so please take care of my son."

Chen looked down blankly and saw the delicate baby in her arms, her heart softened.

The nanny continued, "If my wife doesn't come to pick you up in three years, you will be your son. Please treat him well."

After saying that, he bowed deeply to Old Man Lu and Chen.

Mrs. Chen and Old Man Lu were both stunned, and they didn't come back to their senses until the lady's group had gone far away.

After the two discussed it, they brought Lu Yanzheng back home and announced to the public that he was Chen's illegitimate child.

"...We have never told anyone about this, but Chen Xiuer mentioned it by chance when she came home before. I was afraid that A Zheng would be upset if he knew about it, so I didn't allow her to say it again." Chen still had a look of sadness on her face when she talked about Chen Xiuer.

Jiang Qinyu finally understood how Lu Yanzheng came to the old Lu family. She nodded and said, "Even if Brother Zheng knew about this, it wouldn't matter. His parents raised him. Even if his biological parents show up in the future, I believe Brother Zheng will never forget their kindness in raising him."

What's more, the lady didn't come to pick up Lu Yanzheng three years later, which means that something happened in her family and she couldn't come to pick up her own son.

Jiang Qinyu was more inclined to believe that the lady might no longer be alive, and Lu Yanzheng's biological father might also be gone, so no one had come to visit him for so many years.

But it’s better this way, Lu Yanzheng won’t have to face completely unfamiliar relatives in the future.

After Chen finished speaking, she felt much more relaxed, a smile on her face. "I'm not afraid that Zheng will disown me. He's been a good kid since he was young. As long as you two let me help take care of the children in the future, I'll be satisfied."

For people of her age, the biggest wish is to have grandchildren. As long as this does not change, she no longer cares about anything else.

Jiang Qinyu laughed and said, "Of course I need your help. After all, I don't know anything. You can't just ignore me, Mom!"

To be honest, she was really nervous. After all, it was her first time being a mother. She was completely in the dark and knew nothing. If there was no elder around to help and guide her, she would feel very unsure.

What made her better than others was that she had taken care of Shufan and Paner, but the conditions at that time were limited, and the memories in her mind were all dark and could not be used as a reference at all.

Chen naturally agreed without hesitation, and was extremely looking forward to the child in Jiang Qinyu's belly.

……

A month later, Jiang Qinyu's pregnancy was confirmed, and Old Man Lu was eager to tell the news to Village Chief Li and others.

Some people in the village had speculated about this before, but because the Lu family didn't spread the news, no one said it out loud. Now that the matter has been confirmed, the village is in an uproar.

Led by Village Chief Li, the villagers came to congratulate him with all kinds of things.

Jiang Qinyu only listened to Yunzhu's description of the situation outside, and quickly pushed the reception task to Old Man Lu and Chen.

She and Shufan and Paner were in the study. After the two children finished practicing their calligraphy, they ran to her side.

Pan'er gently lay on Jiang Qinyu's belly, with her ear pressed against her belly. After listening for a while, she pouted and said, "Why don't you move, brother and sister?"

Jiang Qinyu burst into laughter, "It's still young and can't move yet."

Pan'er looked at her belly with some regret and said, "I originally wanted to teach them to recite poems, but it seems I have to wait a little longer."

Shu Fan was speechless when he heard this. He said with a headache, "You can't even recite it yourself, and you still want to teach your younger brothers and sisters?"

"Brother, you're talking nonsense. I know all the seven-character and seven-regulated verses by heart. It's just that I can't remember the long poems," Pan'er said unconvinced.

Shu Fan said nothing, just looked at her with a "really?"

Pan'er lowered her head guiltily and quickly changed the subject, pestering Jiang Qinyu, "Aunt, are you telling us a story? A new one. I've memorized all the previous ones."

Jiang Qinyu heard this and tapped her nose in amusement. "Oh, little girl, you're actually disgusted? Okay, okay, I'll tell you something new today."

Over the years, she has told the four great classics and various stories suitable for children, but because she is sometimes too busy, there are many things she has not mentioned.

Jiang Qinyu thought for a moment and said, "The story I'm going to tell you today is called 'Inside Out'..."

The novel story quickly attracted the attention of the two children. The two little guys opened their eyes wide and made sounds like "Wow" and "That's amazing" frequently.

After an unknown amount of time, Amber suddenly ran in excitedly, "Princess, the prince is back!"

Jiang Qinyu's storytelling voice suddenly stopped, and her eyes were filled with joy. She suddenly stood up, lifted her skirt and walked out, "Let's go and take a look..."

……

On the other hand, Lu Shengzhi had received news a few days ago that Lu Yanzheng would return to Dingshui Village today. He was currently lingering in the government office and had not returned yet.
