When Auntie Deng heard this, her first reaction was to scold her: "That's someone else's family matter, why are you worrying so much about it?!"

Chen Huaniang shrank her neck, then recovered and found a reasonable excuse for herself: "I was just worried! There are only two of them in the family, mother and daughter. What if someone plotted against them?"

This reason convinced Aunt Deng.

After hesitating, Aunt Deng said nothing more.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was silent, Chen Huaniang immediately lowered her voice and continued, "I think, if they really just came to recognize their relatives, why did they bring their two sons? I'm afraid they want to..."

This sounds a bit unreliable.

Aunt Deng said simply, "Ah Yun has a fiancé."

Chen Huaniang hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help herself and said softly: "But mother, if Erlang's wife or I were in trouble, would you not care?"

Aunt Deng was stunned.

Then I understood what Chen Huaniang meant.

Aunt Deng was a little surprised: "But...but..."

"I think Ah Yun didn't like Er Lang." Chen Huaniang curled her lips: "So she found an excuse."

Aunt Deng didn't speak for a long time.

Chen Huaniang continued to talk to herself: "Even if it is true, they just don't ask and do anything. Won't they cancel the engagement? Besides, Ah Yun will be an official in the future - it's not suitable for him to get married again."

"It would be fine if that family was really just looking for their relatives, but if they wanted to... Ah Yun is a woman after all. What dirty tricks could they use? What would Ah Yun do then?"

Chen Hua Niang encouraged Aunt Deng: "How about we remind her?"

Aunt Deng came back to her senses from her trance and rejected the idea without thinking: "What should we say about this? Shut up! Let me think about it!"

Chen Huaniang shut her mouth and went to work quickly - today was the day to settle the accounts!

Aunt Deng was in a daze until Luo Zhan came back in the afternoon.

After exchanging a few words with Luo Zhan, Aunt Deng couldn't help but look at her son, looking hard.

Luo Zhan was so frightened by the stare: What are you looking at? !

But Aunt Deng had no intention of explaining and just stared at her.

Luo Zhan was almost driven crazy.

He felt something was wrong.

But this look is really scary.

Luo Zhan opened his mouth: "Mother?"

Aunt Deng came to her senses and finally looked away.

Then, she said quietly: "It looks okay—"

He is handsome and well-mannered, much better than most people.

Why does A'yun look down on it?

Although this matter has not been confirmed, Aunt Deng has a hunch that what her eldest daughter-in-law said is probably right.

Alas, useless son.

The more Aunt Deng thought about it, the more upset she became. She simply got up and went to find something to do so that she wouldn't have to endure the itch.

Luo Zhan was left in the same place, confused: What happened to my mother?

Luo Zhan was puzzled.

Finally, I went to find Chen Huaniang to inquire.

However, Chen Huaniang dared to say this to her mother-in-law, but she did not dare to say it in front of her brother-in-law, so she just said that she knew nothing.

Luo Zhan didn't see it, so he became even more confused.

At the Xu family, after dinner, Xie Wanqing thought about it and called Xu Yun to her side again, and sent Hongyu to do something else. She wanted to talk to Xu Yun alone.

Xu Yun leaned on Xie Wanqing's legs and let Xie Wanqing comb her hair with a comb. She squinted her eyes in enjoyment and listened to Xie Wanqing talking.

Xie Wanqing also indulged her.

The mother and daughter look like a loving mother.

Xie Wanqing said softly: "Ah Yun, you will definitely be an official in the future."

"Today, my mother has a few words to tell you."

"My mother doesn't know what it means to be an official."

"But mother has seen too many people in office. There are those like your father. There are also those like the children of the Xie family. There are only a few types. One type is a truly good official. One who can think about the people's livelihood and the country. Such people can die with their backs held high even if they die. They are the most admirable."

Xie Wanqing's tone was also full of respect.

Xu Yun opened his eyes and looked at Xie Wanqing.

Xie Wanqing lowered her head slightly, without stopping her movements: "One is for the family. These people... are the heroes of the family. They can lead the entire family to glory."

"There is another type, like your father, who does it for his own glory and wealth. People like this usually have no taboos and will do anything for power and wealth."

Although she didn't comment, Xie Wanqing's disdainful tone said it all.

Xu Yun asked softly, "Mother, do you want me to do the first one?"

However, Xie Wanqing smiled, feeling a little embarrassed: "That's not the case. Mother doesn't want you to become any of these."

Xu Yun was a little confused.

Xie Wanqing used her fingers to gently trace Xu Yun's eyebrows: "When you were just born, I already had a bad relationship with your father. I hated him... so much."

This was the first time that Xie Wanqing spoke so frankly about her feelings for Xu Sanlang.

Xu Yun was almost stunned. She looked at Xie Wanqing's face, not understanding why she suddenly mentioned this.

At the same time, she felt a lot of sadness and heartache in her heart.

Xie Wanqing continued with a brisk tone as if relieved: "A lot of things happened during my pregnancy. I was worried that you had problems. When you were born, you were skinny and small, and your cry was not loud. A few days ago, I didn't even dare to sleep well. I was afraid that you had something and I didn't notice it."

"So small." Xie Wanqing gestured with her hands, the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "At that time, I thought that love and family power were not that important. Xu Sanlang can go wherever he wants, as long as you are well, that's enough."

Xu Yun couldn't help but reach out and hold Xie Wanqing's hand.

Xie Wanqing smiled, and covered Xu Yun's hand with her other hand, and wrapped her hand tightly with both hands, protecting it inside: "Ah Yun, Ah Yun's expectations for you have never been to stand out from the crowd or become a famous figure."

"Mother just wants you to live a healthy and happy life."

"And now, you are going to be an official. Mother wants to tell you that no matter when and what you want to do, the most important thing is your life."

Xie Wanqing's voice was gentle but pleading: "You must live well. At least, live longer than your mother. We don't need to be a good official, nor do we need to live for the glory of our family. We must not be blinded by wealth and power——"

Just live well and happily.

Do what you love.

No need to bow down for anyone.

There is no need to be obsessed with anyone.

Xu Yun opened his mouth, but his eyes became even more moist.

Finally, she wiped her tears on Xie Wanqing and said in a coquettish manner, "Mother, why are you saying this? I can't help crying."

She buried her face in Xie Wanqing's belly and promised solemnly: "Mother, we must live happily. Live to be seventy or eighty years old."
