Back then, Qiao Xinruo started a craze for reading novels at home. As the first person to try it, she naturally read a huge amount of books, far exceeding the reading volume of the rest of the family.

Su Yueya: "..."

What's there to brag about?

“In those novels, there’s a category called ‘eavesdropping on thoughts.’ This can be divided into two types: one where only one family can hear the thoughts, and the other where everyone can hear the person’s thoughts. I reckon… we’re currently in the first type. Leng Yingying’s special ability is only directed at our family.”

"This eavesdropping, regardless of the situation, has one major characteristic: in front of the person who is speaking, the eavesdropper cannot speak or say anything related to it, and cannot tell the person that they can actually hear everything."

“I was shocked by Leng Yingying today, and I actually tried to ask her questions subconsciously, but I just couldn’t say anything,” Qiao Xinruo said.

"I see..." Su Yueya herself hadn't tried to ask.

“However, we don’t need to worry about these details. After all, from what Leng Yingying has revealed, her attitude is that she has no ill intentions towards us, and she even likes our family quite a bit. So we don’t need to act like we’re facing a formidable enemy,” Su Yueya said.

Qiao Xinruo agreed.

When she heard that Leng Yingying knew about the space, she was almost terrified, because if this secret were exposed, it would be very detrimental to Su Yueya.

But after hearing from Su Yueya that Leng Yingying was the Queen of the Apocalypse and possessed some kind of lightning-based superpower, she felt relieved.

It seems that Leng Yingying is no ordinary person. Perhaps she doesn't even think that space is some kind of extraordinary existence. Moreover, I didn't sense any aggression from her thoughts.

"So, should we tell the family that my brother-in-law faked his death?" Qiao Xinruo asked.

"No." Su Yueya shook her head, her attitude very firm.

Su Yueya and Qiao Gaoyang had already discussed this matter and agreed that it should not be discussed—it would be a complete accident if Qiao Xinruo found out.

“Xinruo, it’s not that my second brother and I are unwilling to tell you, but this matter is far-reaching and involves military secrets. We don’t know exactly what this mission is about, but since the Emperor’s faked death is part of it, it must be interconnected. If more people find out about this, it might lead to the failure of the mission!”

No one can guarantee what the consequences of mission failure will be. Perhaps... Lu Zhengjun will be affected as a result, and it's hard to say.

Lu Zhengjun's death was a major event in the military.

If the enemy's intelligence network is paying attention to this matter, or even "monitoring" the Lu family and Su Yueya, then their unusual reaction could easily arouse suspicion.

This is why Su Yueya always tried so hard to act sad; it wasn't really for her family, but for those in the shadows.

“Your analysis and my second brother’s analysis make sense. I know what to do. Don’t worry, I definitely won’t say anything wrong, and I can even cover for you,” Qiao Xinruo said.

In this way, Su Yueya can also be "easier".

Since her family members hadn't all returned yet, Su Yueya planned to take this opportunity to visit Lu Zhengjun's parents.

"Dad, Mom, I've come to see you."

This was Su Yueya's first time visiting her husband's family, and she wasn't treated with any enthusiasm.

It wasn't that Lu Anguo and Bai Xiuhui had any ill feelings towards Su Yueya; it was just that they were still immersed in the immense grief of losing their son and simply weren't in a good mood.

"Crescent Moon is here. Come, sit down." Bai Xiuhui patted the seat next to her, gesturing for Su Yueya to come and sit down with her.

"Mom, don't be too sad," Su Yueya said in a low voice.

In just a few days, Lu Anguo and Bai Xiuhui, who were originally healthy, now look much more haggard, as if they have aged ten years in an instant.

The power of a parent outliving their child is truly not to be underestimated.

"Mom is heartbroken. Every time she sits down, she can't help but think of my Zhengjun. He has been outstanding since he was a child and has never caused us any worry. Who knew, who knew that this mission would..." Bai Xiuhui couldn't bring herself to say the rest.

The news of Lu Zhengjun's death was too unexpected and too shocking for them.

Even now that the body has been cremated and Lu Zhengjun has turned into a jar of white ash and buried in the martyrs' cemetery, they still cannot accept this reality.

"How could he...!" Bai Xiuhui couldn't understand.

What kind of mission could have led to her son's tragic death?

Su Yueya: "..."

Seeing her in-laws so heartbroken, she felt a pang of pity.

Should we tell them about faking our death?

If we give them a serious warning and make sure they don't show any unusual behavior, wouldn't that work?

But what if?

Lu Zhengjun is dead. If the enemy intelligence group wants to keep an eye on someone, then Lu Zhengjun's parents will definitely be among those secretly monitored. If their cover is discovered...

Su Yueya was very conflicted. She knew they were heartbroken, but she couldn't afford to gamble. She was afraid that something might happen to Lu Zhengjun because of this.

"Dad, Mom, no one wanted Zhengjun to die like this, but now that things have come to this, we have to be careful and not let Zhengjun leave in peace," Su Yueya comforted.

“Good child, Mom knows you’re a good child. You’ve suffered so much since Zhengjun left…” Bai Xiuhui said.

Lu Anguo also let out a long sigh.

“Mom, I’m not tired! Even if Zhengjun is gone, I will still be your and Dad’s daughter. I will be filial to you and take care of you for the rest of my life,” Su Yueya said.

Even if Lu Zhengjun never comes back, this promise will remain valid forever.

She was really worried that the elderly couple would worry too much and harm their health, so she took out some tonics that she had prepared in advance, all of which were taken from her space.

There's also the matter of changing the spiritual spring; we can't neglect that.

What she can do for Lu Zhengjun now is to take good care of his parents while he is on a mission, so that he doesn't find that his parents' health has deteriorated when he returns from his mission.

She wanted to do everything for Lu Zhengjun and silently support him from behind!

"Dad, Mom, I'm going to check the kitchen."

Su Yueya quickly changed the water in the water tank before slowly looking around the kitchen—it looked like it hadn't been used for a long time, and even the ingredients looked wilted. Her heart ached.

This is clearly because they didn't eat properly!

Although she understood their feelings, Su Yueya couldn't let them continue like this.

"Dad, Mom, have you had dinner yet?" Su Yueya asked from the kitchen.
