I will lead the whole village to occupy the land and become the king.

Jiang Qinyu looked at him with a smile, "Brother Zheng, you've had a hard time along the way."

As she spoke, she took his hand in hers.

"It's not hard for me, but you are," Lu Yanzheng shook his head, put his hand on her waist, and said with pity, "You've worked hard."

He understood the hardships and dangers of a woman's pregnancy. He had not thought about this before, but now he always couldn't help but feel nervous, fearing that something might happen to his wife.

Jiang Qinyu pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "Okay, let's go back and talk about it."

Everyone is watching her now, and she has no interest in being a monkey.

Lu Yanzheng naturally followed her instructions and helped her walk slowly into the yard.

Jiang Qinyu felt a little helpless. She had a premonition that she would probably be treated like a porcelain doll in the future.

But now was obviously not the time to tell Lu Yanzheng about this. She had just seen Chen's face looking conflicted, and she looked at Lu Yanzheng hesitantly, probably wanting to tell him about her life experience.

Behind them, Old Man Lu grabbed Chen and shook his head at her, and Chen stopped in her tracks.

"A Zheng just came back. He should go wash up first and talk about it after dinner later." Old Man Lu whispered.

He understood the old woman's feelings very well. Now everyone in the village knew about A Zheng's life experience, and she couldn't let A Zheng hear about it from other people, so she wanted to tell A Zheng as soon as possible.

But A Zheng only has his wife in his eyes now, and he just came back, so it is really not the time to talk about this matter.

Lu Yanzheng really didn't pay attention to anything else at the moment. His mind and eyes were full of Jiang Qinyu. He helped her back to their main courtyard.

As soon as he entered the room, Lu Yanzheng hugged her and said, "Qinqin, I miss you so much..."

He buried his head in Jiang Qinyu's neck and hugged her gently, fearing that hugging too tightly would hurt the child.

Jiang Qinyu actually missed him a lot, so she didn't act pretentiously at this moment. She hugged him back and said with a smile, "Yeah, me too."

Hearing her words, Lu Yanzheng's heart moved slightly. He pushed her away slightly and gave her a long-awaited kiss.

This time he kissed her very carefully, making Jiang Qinyu feel like a precious treasure.

After a long kiss, Lu Yanzheng rested his forehead against Jiang Qinyu's. "Is everything okay at home? Have you encountered any troubles? Is the child well behaved?"

He held Jiang Qinyu with one hand and placed the other hand on her lower abdomen.

Jiang Qinyu said with a smile: "You ask so many questions at once, which one do you want me to answer first?"

Lu Yanzheng's expression froze, and then he laughed and said, "Sorry, I was too impatient and forgot we still have a lot of time."

"Yes, so, Your Highness, can you go and take a good shower now?" Jiang Qinyu looked at him helplessly.

To be honest, the Lu Yanzheng in front of him was too unkempt, not much better than a savage.

It's not that she dislikes him, it's just that he won't feel comfortable doing this.

Lu Yanzheng froze upon hearing this, and then coughed awkwardly, "Well, I was in such a hurry to get on the road that I didn't have time to take care of it."

After saying that, he hurried to the bathroom, which was connected to the small kitchen. As long as there was hot water in the big pot in the kitchen, he could use it at any time.

Jiang Qinyu curled her lips and took the luggage he had just brought in aside, thinking of sorting it out for him first.

After a while, Lu Yanzheng came out after packing up, and Jiang Qinyu also packed his luggage.

"I don't know where you plan to put these things. You can clean them up yourself." Jiang Qinyu pushed a pile of things on the table in front of him.

Lu Yanzheng glanced at it casually and said, "These are all for you. Don't you like them?"

He casually picked up an egg-sized night pearl and looked at the other treasures taken from Emperor Jingqing's private treasury.

"For me?" Jiang Qinyu looked at the exquisite and expensive jewels on the table in surprise, feeling a little strange in her heart.

She doesn't really like wearing jewelry, always thinking it's too flashy and useless. It would be better to replace it with something else to solve specific problems.

Seeing her reaction, Lu Yanzheng guessed what she was thinking. He nodded and said, "Qin Shen said that men should bring gifts for the women at home when they return home from outside. If you don't like it, I'll find something else and take these away."

In fact, he had picked these on purpose, thinking that Jiang Qinyu might like them, but who knew that she actually didn't like them.

"Forget it, I'll keep it." Jiang Qinyu shook her head and reached out to put the things away.

After all, it was a rare gift from him, and its commemorative significance outweighed anything else, so there was no need to return it.

The two were delayed for a while, but finally arrived at the dining room in front in time for dinner. Chen and Old Man Lu were already there.

The family happily had a reunion dinner. Shufan and Pan'er were very perceptive and knew that Chen had something to say. After dinner, they took Jiang Qinyu to the village for a walk to digest the food.

Lu Yanzheng also wanted to go, but he just noticed that Chen was hesitant to speak, so he held himself back and did not move.

"A Zheng..." Chen didn't know what to say as soon as she opened her mouth, and looked at Old Man Lu for help.

Old Man Lu had thought it through very clearly in the past few days. Seeing this, he immediately told Lu Yanzheng's life story in one go, "...Although your mother and I have kept this a secret from you for so many years, you are indeed not our biological child. The village ancestral hall is no longer independent!"

Because of this, he and Village Chief Li have not yet decided to open a separate ancestral hall.

Now that he had told Lu Yanzheng, he felt relieved.

After hearing what he said, Lu Yanzheng smiled and looked at Chen and Old Man Lu and said, "Dad, Mom, I actually knew about this a long time ago."

"Ah?" Mrs. Chen and Old Man Lu were stunned and looked at him intently.

Lu Yanzheng didn't want to explain too much, as he still wanted to accompany his wife, so he said, "Anyway, you two don't have to worry. I am your son no matter what."

After saying that, he stood up and nodded to the two of them, "I'm going to find Qinqin, Dad and Mom should go to bed early."

"Wait!" Chen suddenly said, "This is for you."

She handed Lu Yanzheng a jade pendant and said, "This is something you had with you back then. Keep it as a keepsake!"

Lu Yanzheng took it, took a look at it, and stuffed it into his arms. He smiled at Chen and said, "Thank you, mother."

He left, but Mrs. Chen and Old Man Lu were still in shock.

They were both confused, how did he know that?

……

Three days later, the matter of Lu Yanzheng's return was finally settled, and everything in Dingshui Village returned to normal, but people talked about it more and more in private.

Lu Yanzheng naturally also told Jiang Qinyu about the situation in the court, but he did not go into details. He only said that the situation there was maintained by Qin Shen and a group of officials who had been selected long ago, and he was not worried.

For the past three days, Lu Shengzhi had been asking for leave from the government office, but today he brought Lu Wanqing to visit Jiang Qinyu's home.

With Lu Wanqing around, Jiang Qinyu naturally didn't suspect anything and invited the person in.

At this moment, Jiang Qinyu and Lu Yanzheng were sitting in the flower hall, playing Gobang with their two children.

"Speaking of which, Lord Lu has come to visit twice. He wanted to see you every time, but every time he saw you going out." Jiang Qinyu said with a smile while pointing at Pan'er.

Lu Yanzheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why does he want to see me?"

Lu Shengzhi's position doesn't require him to discuss any important matters face to face, and they don't have a personal relationship, so this kind of visit is a bit redundant.

Jiang Qinyu looked up at him, a little speechless, "You really don't know?"

Sometimes she felt that Lu Yanzheng was even less knowledgeable about the ways of the world than she was. Given his current status, wasn't the purpose of people visiting him very obvious?

"Hmm..." Seeing that his wife was serious, Lu Yanzheng quickly thought, "He wants to make connections?"

Jiang Qinyu rolled her eyes at him. "More or less, but I don't think he did anything excessive. I also quite like that girl from the Lu family, so I didn't refuse."
