Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

Liu Qingyao suppressed her surprise and asked Aunt Sun,

"What's the name of the friend you mentioned? When did his son go missing?"

When Aunt Sun heard Liu Qingyao's words, her eyes were filled with grief and sadness.

She almost forgot when her child was lost. What year was it? How old was he? This was God's punishment for her, for being a careless mother. She was not a responsible mother at all.

This was also God's punishment for her, punishing her for being a biased mother who only favored her other son and abandoned the son who needed care the most.

It was not until many years later that she began to feel some remorse. This was also a kind of punishment. But it was useless to regret now. If Lu Ziren was really the child she had lost, then she would definitely make up for the mistakes she had made over the years. However, if Lu Ziren was really her son, would he forgive her?

Aunt Sun had been thinking a lot without realizing it, and only came back to her senses after hearing Liu Qingyao's words, but Liu Qingyao's words made her fall into deep thought again.

Aunt Sun slowly recalled the situation and finally figured out her approximate age.

"He...was lost when he was probably seven or eight years old, if I remember correctly." Aunt Sun said uncertainly.

Liu Qingyao looked at Aunt Sun who looked uncertain and scared, and said, "Godmother, if we are not sure, we can write a letter to your friend and ask her to pass on the exact news. Then we can ask Lu Ziren for confirmation. This way it won't seem abrupt and it will be more reasonable."

But what surprised Liu Qingyao was that when Aunt Sun heard this pertinent advice, she not only did not accept it, but was a little scared. She simply shook her head and rejected Liu Qingyao's suggestion, "Qingyao, no, you can't send a message to him. I'm sure, I'm sure he is seven or eight years old." Aunt Sun looked panic-stricken, but she made a solemn promise, which seemed a bit crazy.

Liu Qingyao was also a little worried about Aunt Sun's current mental state. "Godmother, okay, if you don't want to pass on the message, then don't pass it on. Everything will be done according to your instructions."

Aunt Sun slowly calmed down after hearing what Liu Qingyao said.

"Qingyao, I'll leave this matter to you. Please help me find out General Lu's background in private. Don't let anyone know, okay?" Aunt Sun grabbed Liu Qingyao's hand and said solemnly.

Liu Qingyao was very surprised about what Auntie Sun asked her to investigate. Was this really what the friend Auntie Sun mentioned wanted to know? Or did Auntie Sun simply want to know about Lu Ziren's life experience? After all, Auntie Sun's attitude towards Lu Ziren was too strange, so she had to doubt it.

But even so, Liu Qingyao nodded heavily and agreed to Aunt Sun's request. When Aunt Sun saw that Liu Qingyao agreed, she quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, godmother, since I have agreed to help you do this, you can rest here for a while. I will go and help you collect some useful information." Liu Qingyao said.

"Okay, Qingyao, thank you for your help." Aunt Sun said to Liu Qingyao with great gratitude.

"It's not a problem. Just take a rest." Liu Qingyao helped Aunt Sun lie down on the bed before leaving the room.

Liu Qingyao agreed to the secret visit requested by Aunt Sun, but Liu Qingyao knew that in the general's mansion, Lu Ziren was a local tyrant, and it would be impossible to find out useful information about him.

So Liu Qingyao did not do it secretly, but directly asked someone to take her to find Xia Yingying. Some things she only needed to ask Xia Yingying and she would know.

Besides, her identity was not suitable for secretly inquiring about any information about Lu Ziren.

If Lu Ziren knew about this, and if he decided that she was a spy sent by the Sixth Prince to lurk around them, she would never be able to cling to Lu Ziren again. She might even be killed. She would not be so stupid.

Since you want to find out, of course you should do it openly.

Lu Ziren will surely "confess himself", and at that time, Lu Ziren will use some of the power in his hands to help them find the person that Aunt Sun wants to find, and she won't need to spend much energy and money.

The maid took Liu Qingyao to Xia Yingying's room, where Xia Yingying was writing her storybook.

"Madam, Miss Liu Qingyao is here." When the maid's voice came, Xia Yingying stopped thinking about writing the storybook and put down her pen.

"Please invite her in." Xia Yingying said.

"Yes."

After a while, the door was opened and Liu Qingyao came in directly.

Xia Yingying's lips curled slightly, "I thought you were going to talk to your godmother for a long time, but I didn't expect you to come to me so soon."

"I've also wanted to talk to my godmother for a long time, but she has something urgent to do and wants me to help her with something. That's why I came to you after I'm done with my work." Liu Qingyao did not hide anything and spoke directly to Xia Yingying.

Xia Yingying poured a cup of tea for Liu Qingyao and placed it in front of her. "Is there anything I can help with?"

"It's about Lu Ziren."

Xia Yingying was slightly stunned. How was Lu Ziren related to Aunt Sun?

"But if your godmother wants to thank Lu Ziren in person, that's not necessary. We are friends, and there's no need for us to thank each other for helping your godmother." Xia Yingying said quickly.

Liu Qingyao touched her head and said, "That's not it, but since you mentioned it, I still want to say thank you to you."

"If it's not this, then what is it? Just tell me directly."

Xia Yingying thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what Aunt Sun wanted to see Lu Ziren about.

"It's like this. My godmother has a friend whose son got lost when he was very young. My godmother saw that Lu Ziren looked a bit like that child, so she wanted to know some things about Lu Ziren's parents and his family before he became a general. Can you tell me?"

Liu Qingyao did not hide it and directly told Xia Yingying the purpose of her visit. Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Qingyao finished speaking, Xia Yingying was so shocked by her words that her eyes widened and she couldn't even speak.

Lu Ziren had told her some of his inner thoughts before, and Xia Yingying also knew that Lu Ziren had no feelings for his parents at all, and there was a high probability that he would never see them again in this life. After all, such biased parents would only add a lot of troubles and pain to the family even if they were around.

They only raised him for a few years when he was young, and then left him to fend for himself. At that time, Lu Ziren was still in elementary school. He could only endure hunger outside and work illegally for others. Finally, he couldn't survive, so he was sent to the military camp, facing the threat of death every day, and finally he managed to survive. Now that he finally has a little better life, someone suddenly wants to find him...

Xia Yingying couldn't explain clearly what kind of complicated feelings she had in her heart at the moment. She felt heartbroken for Lu Ziren, but she was powerless to do anything about it. She couldn't stand on the moral high ground to blame Lu Ziren, or make the decision on her own to tell others about his news without his knowledge and add unknown troubles to him.

This matter, after all, is Lu Ziren's own business, and he can only solve it himself.

Even though she was Lu Ziren's daughter-in-law, it was not convenient for her to intervene. Xia Yingying always knew this.

"Qingyao, I can tell you clearly about this matter. I can only let Lu Ziren make the decision himself. I will tell him for you, and I will tell you when he agrees. I can't make the decision for him now. What if your godmother's friends are really his parents and they come looking for him? What if Lu Ziren hates me?" "Please vote"
