Fortunately, Su's father was behind Su's mother, preventing her from falling. Su's father angrily questioned, "What's wrong with you, child? How could you push people like that?"

Chu Ying scoffed, "Hmph, I can push it away if I want to. What are you trying to do?"

Chu Ying's aunt, Jiang Hong, also looked innocent, "That's right, the child is still young, how could the adults take it seriously when it was just a joke?"

"Mother, what happened?"

Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Hong's face paled, and she held the handkerchief somewhat at a loss, "Lord Su."

Su Yi didn't look at her, but picked An Ran up and asked, "Are you alright anywhere?"

"No, it's just that this person is really wicked; she pushed my grandmother."

Su's mother frowned and glared at Su Yi, then pulled Liu Huan's hand and walked out in front of everyone.

"Huanhuan, let's go." It wasn't until everyone had left that Aunt Chu Ying realized that the old man was Lord Su's child.

She carefully considered whether she had done anything wrong, and was finally relieved that she hadn't made any mistakes.

Seeing her aunt both smiling and frowning, Chu Ying asked, "Auntie, what's making you so happy?"

Jiang Hong's smile deepened. "It's alright, let's go back."

The two had come out to eat, but they were about to leave without even having eaten. Chu Ying waved her hand and said, "No, we haven't eaten yet. I'm not going back now."

Jiang Hong coaxed him for a long time with other things before he was willing to leave.

Upon returning, he went straight to Madam Jiang's room. "Mother, is there any news about the matter I asked you to inquire about?"

Madam Jiang happened to be holding a letter in her hand. When she saw her daughter enter, she scolded her, "What's the rush? Don't you know how shameless a young lady should be?"

A shy blush spread across Jiang Hong's delicate face as she said, "Mother~"

Madam Jiang showed her the letter, saying, "Read it yourself."

Jiang Hong couldn't wait to open it; inside were all the things that happened between Liu Huan and Su Yi in the capital.

After reading it, his face showed a mixture of relief and sarcasm. "I knew it! That Liu woman had two children who never had a father. Turns out she was kicked out by the Su family."

She added indignantly, "How could she know in advance that Lord Su would be taking up a post here, and then come here to give birth to her child hoping to gain status through her son? What a cunning scheme!"

Seeing her daughter's expression, Madam Jiang kindly reminded her, "I heard that Lord Su quite likes the two children, so I'm afraid he'll have to take them back with him."

Jiang Hong didn't take it seriously. "They're just two children. I'm not that intolerant of people. Since Lord Su doesn't like her, it would be shameless for her to keep bothering him."

"Mother, it seems that Lord Su's parents have arrived. When would you like to visit them and sound them out?"

Madam Jiang found her daughter's words reasonable and readily agreed, "Alright, your father said that a man like Lord Su is rare, and it would be good if a marriage could be formed between them, but one should not force things."

Jiang Hong didn't want to hear any of this and said impatiently, "Alright, I know."

Madam Jiang saw that her daughter wasn't listening at all; feelings aren't something that can be acquired overnight.

Meanwhile, Su's mother went directly back to the prefect's residence and ordered the servants to go to the Liu family and move all their belongings into the residence.

This includes Liu Huan and her children.

Liu Huan helplessly advised, "Mom, you can go ahead. We're used to living at home, and I don't want to trouble the two kids who are particular about their beds."

Upon hearing this, Su's mother felt sorry for her grandson and granddaughter, and recalling what she had just witnessed at the restaurant, she packed her things and moved in without hesitation.

The courtyard in the mansion had been tidied up long ago, and Su's parents, Da Shi's family, and ten-year-old Chen Yu were there.

After settling everyone in, Su Yi was about to leave when his mother called him back, "Who was that woman just now?"

Su Yi was puzzled; where did this woman come from?

Su's mother reminded her, "It's the one we met at the restaurant."

Su Yi replied, "They are the family members of Master Jiang from the county. I've met them once before."

Su's mother stared intently at her son, and Su Yi finally understood. He sighed helplessly, "Mother, what are you thinking? My child is already so big."

Speaking of this, Su's mother became even angrier, "You know the children are all grown up now. If you hadn't acted foolishly back then, we wouldn't have been separated from them for so many years. Now that you've come to your senses, stop messing around with other women."

Su Yi didn't want to explain too much, but solemnly promised, "Mother, I will take care of them for the rest of my life, so please don't worry."

Su's mother was finally satisfied. "That's more like it. Anzhi isn't close to you. You need to put in some effort so that no one will take care of you when you get old."

Su Yi managed to escape only after agreeing to everything.

The elderly couple woke up at dawn the next day, but when they rushed to the Liu family home, neither of their children had gotten up yet.

"Mother, why are you back so early?"

As she walked into the kitchen, Su's mother said, "I'm going to make something for Anran and the others to eat, the pancakes you loved to eat when you were little."

Liu Huan became interested upon hearing this, "I'll help you, I haven't had it in so many years and I'm really craving it."

It's actually just scallion pancakes. Liu Huan figured it out at home when she was little, and later her mother would make them for her from time to time when she saw that she liked them.

In fact, the children Liu Huan likes may not like them. An Ran likes sweets, while An Zhi eats very lightly, so neither of them is enthusiastic about scallion pancakes.

Su's mother was a little hurt, but she didn't show it on her face and still smiled and said, "If you don't like it, that's fine. I'll make it again whatever you usually like to eat."

Liu Huan stopped her, "Mother is fine. We've already made it, so let's just eat it. Don't waste it, we can make it again tomorrow."

Liu Huan stuffed one into each of their bowls, saying, "These are my favorite foods when I was little. Don't you want to know what your mother liked to eat when she was a child?"

"Every grain of rice on your plate is the result of hard work. If you don't eat these things, it will be a waste to throw them away. Grandma wants you to taste them, and we will eat something else tomorrow."

Liu Huan never liked to force her children. Everyone has different preferences. Since Su's mother had already made it, why not let them try it occasionally?

An Ran happily picked it up and started eating, saying, "Thank you, Grandma. It's delicious, but I like sweet things."

Under Liu Huan's urging gaze, An Zhi also called out "Grandmother" in a low voice. Su's mother happily said that she would make sweets tomorrow and personally took the two of them to school.

Remember the time to pick up the children and go back to chat with Liu Huan. "The two children are really smart, just like you and Shi Tou."

Liu Huan thought for a moment and then said to her, "Mother, you don't need to try to please them. Just get along normally with them. You don't need to get up early to cook for them. Your health is the most important thing."

Su's mother didn't care at all. "I wasn't trying to please them, I just liked them. I haven't been around for so many years, and I just wanted to get closer to them. Don't stop me, I'm perfectly healthy."

Liu Huan had nothing more to say, so she just wanted to be happy.

That evening, he called Anzhi over to ask him his opinion on the Su family.

Anzhi remained calm, saying, "As long as Mother is happy."

Liu Huan knew he had a misunderstanding about the Su family, so she told him that she had been adopted by the Su family and that her family had treated her very well.

“I’m telling you this not so you can be grateful to them on my behalf, but because I don’t want you to misunderstand. They didn’t know I brought you out back then, and the misunderstandings can’t be explained in a short time, but you should be able to feel that everyone likes you and your sister very much, right?”

Anzhi remained silent for a long time before nodding, "I understand, Mother."
