Lu Yanting, who was at the forefront of gossip, was the first to announce: "I've already finished eating."

Lu Yanwei had almost finished eating and put down her chopsticks.

Lu Mingrui had already poured himself a cup of tea after the meal.

Su Xiufen quietly began clearing the table.

Lu Yanwei started cleaning up with her mother.

The mother and daughter quickly finished clearing the table and wiping it clean.

Lu Yanting personally helped her great-grandmother back to the sofa.

"Great-Grandma, please sit down."

Great-grandmother was still sitting next to Jiang Zao.

The old lady glanced at the little porridge left in Lu Yanxun's bowl and cleared her throat.

She said, "Xiao Xun, your great-grandmother is watching you eat."

Lu Yanting nodded with a smile: "Yeah, brother, take your time eating. We're not in a rush."

Lu Yanxun: "..."

Although he hadn't finished eating, he was already full.

I was overwhelmed by so many expectant eyes.

Lu Yanxun had no habit of wasting food, and in the end, he finished the rest of the porridge right under everyone's noses.

Lu Yanting waited expectantly, and when she saw her brother finish the last bite of porridge, she was overjoyed: "Now you can tell me!"

"Wait!" Lu Yanwei quickly called for a pause.

Then he ran over in two or three steps at a time.

He snatched the bowl and spoon from Lu Yanxun's hands.

He hurried to the kitchen.

He also left a message saying, "Wait for me, I'll take the bowl to the kitchen first, and we'll talk when I get back!"

Jiang Zao thought to herself, "So she's not the only one who wants to gossip."

The entire Lu family wanted to hear the gossip.

She curled up in a ball on the sofa, trying to minimize her presence.

Pretend you're not the most curious person, just someone who's casually joining in the gossip.

"Ask whatever you want."

Lu Yanxun knew what he was about to face.

He was prepared to accept everyone's "interrogation" with equanimity.

Lu Yanting eagerly raised her hand: "Me first! Me first! I'll ask first!"

Lu Yanwei was already halfway back when she called out, "Wait for me! Wait for me! I'm back!"

Lu Yanting endured for a few seconds, patiently waiting for her sister to find a seat before she began to ask Lu Yanxun with a serious expression.

"Brother, do you like Sister Xiaoyue?"

Lu Yanting asked a bombshell question as soon as she came up.

This question made Lu Yanwei gasp in shock.

My little sister has such a nerve...

Yes, she felt inferior.

Although Lu Yanting's question was too direct and shocking, Lu Yanwei couldn't deny that she really wanted to know.

Silently praising her younger sister, Lu Yanwei listened intently.

I was afraid of missing a single word.

The question Lu Yanting asked was obviously very important to everyone else present.

Jiang Zao was completely stunned.

She couldn't help but admire her brave sister-in-law.

The first question touched on her heart.

Although she already knew the answer, she still wanted to hear Lu Yanxun say it himself.

She stared intently at Lu Yanxun's expression, not missing a single subtle change in his face.

Lu Yanxun's expression did indeed shift slightly.

However, it's unclear what the intended meaning is.

Jiang Zao held her breath and stared at his slightly pursed lips, waiting for the words to come out of his mouth.

Lu Yanxun's lips twitched slightly, and he uttered three simple words: "I don't like it."

"Huh?" Lu Yanting's eyes widened in surprise.

Lu Yanwei also covered her mouth in surprise.

Jiang Zao stared at Lu Yanxun in utter shock.

It was as if I had heard a joke that wasn't funny at all.

what?

Lu Yanxun doesn't like Su Xinyue??

impossible?

Absolutely impossible!

He lied.

This man's lying skills are as good as his acting skills.

Realizing this, Jiang Zao's gaze towards Lu Yanxun changed.

From shock to confusion.

From confusion to questioning.

From skepticism to disdain.

The final expression was one of disdain.

Lu Yanting's first reaction was that her brother was lying.

Saying he didn't like it was probably just something he said to Jiang Zao.

She was actually somewhat satisfied with her brother's attitude.

Although he lied, it at least shows that he still wants to stay with Jiang Zao.

Come to think of it, her brother is already married and has children, so whether he likes Xiaoyue or not doesn't seem to matter that much anymore. What matters is that he can't have an affair.

Okay, this question is pointless, she changed the subject.

To avoid asking pointless questions again, Lu Yanting considered her words carefully before asking this time:

"So you probably won't be corresponding with Sister Xiaoyue anymore, right?"

This question is critical.

The Lu family members all turned their attention to Lu Yanxun.

Jiang Zao also looked at him.

She could understand why Lu Yanxun lied, not only because of the child, but also because of the pressure from his elders.

He had to make some sacrifices for his family.

But if he's not even allowed to write letters to the woman he likes, that's too much of a sacrifice.

Jiang Zao's gaze toward Lu Yanxun shifted from disdain to sympathy.

A feeling of guilt welled up in my heart.

Ginger and jujube, you've done something terrible.

Jiang Zao let out a silent sigh in her heart.

She thought sympathetically that she would tell Lu Yanxun privately later that he could write whatever he wanted, even in front of her, and that she wouldn't care if he wrote ten letters a day, and she certainly wouldn't complain to her great-grandmother.

If he allows her to follow the original plan, let her give birth in the Lu family, let her comfortably finish her postpartum period, and finally give her a generous divorce settlement, and promises to take good care of the child and allow her to visit the child at any time.

She can truly ignore all his actions, even ignore him as a person.

Jiang Zao felt that, given the current situation, her demands were not high.

If the original owner had been pregnant when she transmigrated, she could have considered aborting the child to allow him and Su Xinyue to be together, thus minimizing the damage the original owner caused to their relationship.

But the baby was already so far along in her pregnancy, and she was placed in this unavoidable situation as soon as she arrived in the womb. The above-mentioned request was already the biggest concession she could make.

She'll discuss it with Lu Yanxun privately later.

Let's see what he's really thinking.

Jiang Zao was lost in thought when she vaguely heard Lu Yanxun speak.

He said, "I have never replied to any of the letters she sent."

Jiang Zao snapped back to reality in an instant, thinking she had misheard.

What did Lu Yanxun just say?

Did he not reply to Su Xinyue's letter?

Okay, let's go all the way with this act, and tell the whole lie too.

That's Lu Yanxun's style.

Great-Grandma finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Really?"

"real."

His deep voice inexplicably gave people a sense of conviction.

Lu Yanxun paused for a moment: "If I see her again in the future, I will tell her not to write to me anymore."

"No way!" Lu Yanting immediately objected. "I don't agree to you two meeting again!"

When Great-Grandma heard Lu Yanting's words, she was about to nod and praise Lu Yanxun for finally getting it, but then she changed her mind and said, "That's right, Tingting is right. You two shouldn't see each other again."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zao realized that this was putting Lu Yanxun in a difficult position.

Saying you don't like it or that you didn't reply is useless; restricting the two of them from meeting is a bit too harsh.

What if Lu Yanxun can't withstand the pressure and turns around and makes things difficult for her?

No, no, in order for the two of them to get along peacefully before the divorce, Jiang Zao felt that she had to show some sincerity first.

She quickly grabbed her great-grandmother and said, "Great-grandmother, it's okay for friends to meet up. I trust Yanxun."

“If he says he doesn’t like it, he definitely doesn’t like it. If he says he hasn’t replied, he definitely hasn’t replied. I believe him.”

Not content with saying all that, Jiang Zao released her great-grandmother and leaned towards Lu Yanxun.

She grabbed Lu Yanxun's arm and pulled him into her arms, cooperating with him in a scene of deep affection between husband and wife.

"Yanxun, I trust you, so I won't restrict your normal interactions with your friends, even friends of the opposite sex. You can write to them, meet them, I won't..."

"sister in law!"

Lu Yanting interrupted Jiang Zao with displeasure, frowning like a little adult, and said, "Don't lose all your rationality just because you're around my brother. Even if he doesn't like Sister Xiaoyue and doesn't reply to her letters, you can't let them meet! Old feelings can easily rekindle, how can you not even understand this?!"

"Besides, they're childhood sweethearts, they grew up together!"

Lu Yanting had already clearly reminded Jiang Zao, hoping she wouldn't be too love-struck.

Now Lu Yanting finally understands why Jiang Zao is so dramatic and mischievous.

Her husband left the day after their wedding, and she returned to her parents' home alone three days later. Without her husband's company and care, she endured seven months of pregnancy alone.

Her husband had been out of contact for seven months, ignoring her completely and not even writing her letters; it was as if he had died.

She and her sister often talked badly about her behind her back, and would occasionally provoke her by mentioning her love rival.

Because she really disliked her sister-in-law Jiang Zao, and even wanted her brother to divorce her.

But now that I think about it carefully, I feel that ginger and jujube are quite pitiful.

Even when she later tried to kill herself and went on a hunger strike, it was because she loved her brother too much.

She just wanted to see her husband, who had been away from home for seven months.

What's wrong with her?

But she can't see him.

She lives in this house without a husband, and her only asset is her child.

No wonder Jiang Zao wanted to abort the child.

The man she loves is like he's dead; he doesn't want her anymore. Why is she keeping their child?

Her brother finally came back, but he not only drove her away, but also made her cry. Even she, his own sister, thought he was lying, but her sister-in-law still chose to believe him.

She still only sees her brother.

She felt sorry for her brother being beaten, pleaded for him, and so tolerantly allowed him to continue contact with his childhood sweetheart.

All of this is because of her love for her brother.

Lu Yanting put herself in her husband's shoes and thought about it. In any case, if it were her, she would never allow her husband to have any contact with his former lover again.

I've heard people say that pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, I wonder if my sister-in-law is just being silly because she's pregnant.

My sister-in-law made such a huge sacrifice, all to have a child for her brother.

So pitiful.

It's too awful.

Why hadn't she thought of these things before?

He did so many bad things to her and said so many bad things to her.

They looked down on her because of her humble background and low education, believing she was not good enough for her brother.

Perhaps her sister-in-law was a gentle and beautiful girl before she married her brother.

Although her family background is smaller and her education level is lower, her personality and temperament may not be any worse than Sister Xiaoyue's.

Besides, she's so beautiful, something Xiaoyue can't compare to.

But after marrying her brother, she was tormented into a shrew, a resentful woman, and a madwoman.

As Lu Yanting thought about it, she felt very guilty and ashamed.

It makes my nose sting.

I want to cry.

What exactly did she do to her sister-in-law in the past?!

"Yanxun, you can't do that, right?" Jiang Zao blinked, looking at Lu Yanxun innocently and affectionately.

When no one was looking, she quickly winked at him.

He conveyed the message with his eyes: Ally, I'm about to start my act, catch me! Our characters are now a loving couple.

Then, in a soft, dependent, and trusting tone, she continued, "Last night when you were at your parents' house, you hugged me and said that you only love me."

Upon hearing Jiang Zao's words, Lu Yanting's tingling and tearful symptoms vanished instantly.

She almost couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Does she still believe what she said at her parents' house last night?

Perhaps you've forgotten that you were just yelled at and cried today!

That's so stupid!

“Sister-in-law, don’t be so naive! Being too naive will make you vulnerable to being bullied!” Lu Yanting stood up and said.

Jiang Zao shook her head: "Little sister, your brother didn't bully me. There was a misunderstanding between us. I misunderstood him. It's all my fault today. I was too willful and impulsive, and I made everyone worry about me."

"It's my fault," Lu Yanxun replied softly. "It's not your fault, it's all my fault today. I'll be more careful in the future. I'm glad you're not angry anymore."

Good bro! You're amazing!

He certainly picked up where she left off.

Jiang Zao smiled contentedly, rested her head on Lu Yanxun's shoulder, and whispered, "I'm not angry, and you shouldn't be angry either. Let's be good to each other from now on, okay?"

Jiang Zao's voice was like sand being mixed in, soft yet scratchy on the eardrums.

The sound made Lu Yanxun's ears itch a little.

And the half of her body that was pressed tightly against him was so soft it felt like it had no bones.

The pressure made his throat tighten slightly.

After a moment's hesitation, she awkwardly replied, "Okay."

To make the effect more realistic and cheesy, Jiang Zao gave a shy smile and rubbed her head against Lu Yanxun's shoulder like a kitten.

"Ah."

Hey, Lu Yanxun can act, and so can she.

Lu Yanxun gave her face at her family home, so she had no reason to embarrass him at his family home.

The Lu family members, who were quietly watching the two of them being so mushy, were indeed a little nauseated by their affection.

Lu Yanting: "..."

No matter what Lu Yanting said, Jiang Zao remained a virtuous wife who was stubbornly obstinate.

Lu Yanting was so angry that she wanted to ask her if she had lost her mind.

Then there's Lu Yanxun, who secretly drives people away and makes them cry, while outwardly pretending to be a good husband.

How could this be...

Even if it's her brother, she still can't stand him!

Lu Yanting glared fiercely at Lu Yanxun.

Roll up your sleeves, ready to switch to "brother-centric" mode.

"Lu Yanxun, you really know how to..."

"Tingting."

Great-grandmother interrupted Lu Yanting's furious outburst, "Alright, stop talking. Let Great-grandmother say a few words."

Lu Yanting stomped her foot: "Great-Grandma, my brother went too far! He's bullying me!"

“Great-grandmother will teach him a lesson,” Great-grandmother said.

Lu Yanting stopped when she heard that her great-grandmother was going to teach her brother a lesson.

He snorted and sat back down in his original seat.

But she couldn't help but say one last thing: "In short, I just don't agree with my brother seeing Sister Xiaoyue again. If he tells Sister Xiaoyue not to write to him anymore, I'll bring it to her myself at school tomorrow."
