She already had the answer in her heart. When she asked the question, she busied herself with taking out some vegetables from her spatial storage and starting to cook.
"Crescent Moon, you don't need to bother. Your father and I don't have much of an appetite either," Bai Xiuhui said weakly.
"That won't do!"
Man is made of iron, food is made of steel; you'll get hungry if you skip a meal!
Furthermore, Bai Xiuhui and Lu Anguo's condition has clearly not been a recent development; otherwise, their faces would look so haggard.
"Dad, Mom, no matter what, even if something terrible happens, you can't skip meals! Otherwise, Zhengjun will blame me for not taking good care of you!" Su Yueya said, deliberately bringing up Lu Zhengjun, thinking that only his name would be effective at this time.
"I know you're in a bad mood, so I'll just make something simple. You can eat whatever you like!" With that, Su Yueya got busy in the kitchen.
Considering that Su Yueya had worked hard for quite a while, the elderly couple still gave her face and ate a few bites.
But Bai Xiuhui really had a poor appetite; after eating a few bites of food, she seemed ready to vomit at any moment.
Su Yueya stopped pressuring them.
“Dad, Mom, I brought some tonics,” Su Yueya said, taking out the pre-packaged pills and explaining to them one by one, “These are the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pills. Since you’ve been skipping meals lately, take one of these pills every day. They’re good for your cardiovascular system. This one is for vitamins. This one is…”
After explaining for most of the day, looking at their lifeless eyes, Su Yueya didn't know if they had remembered anything.
I simply took a piece of paper and wrote down the instructions for taking the medication for them.
"Crescent Moon, thank you for your hard work, you still remember us," Bai Xiuhui said.
"Mom, what are you saying? Of course I miss you. You are not only Zhengjun's parents, but also my parents. No one can change that." Seeing the old couple's haggard and heartbroken appearance, Su Yueya felt extremely sad.
After Su Yueya left, Lu Anguo let out a long sigh.
Su Yueya is indeed a good girl and a good daughter-in-law!
The better she was, the more Lu Anguo felt that his family couldn't be a burden to her. After all, Lu Zhengjun and Su Yueya didn't have any children, and now that Lu Zhengjun was dead, Su Yueya could remarry!
However, he had previously noticed that the body's legs were different in length from his son's, leading him to suspect that his son might not actually be dead...
So far, this matter is merely Lu Anguo's personal speculation. Without more evidence to support his guess, he dares not speak out rashly.
First there's hope, then disappointment—that feeling is unpleasant.
Even family members might not be able to withstand a second blow.
"Husband, I'm thinking of Zhengjun again..." Bai Xiuhui wiped away her tears once more. Just now, in front of Su Yueya, she tried her best to hold back her emotions and didn't cry in front of her.
She knew that not only was she heartbroken, but Su Yueya was heartbroken as well.
Su Yueya has managed to control her emotions with great difficulty. If she were to break down and cry, Su Yueya might also break down.
But these days, she has spent almost all her time in tears.
"Waaah..." Bai Xiuhui cried her heart out.
It's been a while since the incident, but she can't get over it and thinks about her son every moment.
For Bai Xiuhui, Lu Zhengjun's death was something she found hard to accept.
“Wife,” Lu Anguo hugged his wife’s shoulders and comforted her, “Don’t cry, I’m here for you. I will always be with you.”
Lu Anguo's heart sank. Seeing his wife's sad and distressed appearance, his pain was doubled.
Should I say something?
Expressing his guess might give his wife a glimmer of hope and allow her to temporarily escape her grief, but if it turns out that his guess was wrong, will his wife still be able to bear it?
Moreover, Lu Anguo had no idea what the consequences would be if he voiced his guess. What if it backfired?
After considering various factors, Lu Anguo ultimately chose to remain silent.
Even if he can gather more information and be more certain, he can decide whether to speak or not later; now he absolutely must not act impulsively.
"Husband, I'm heartbroken. I miss our son, I miss him so much!" Bai Xiuhui threw herself into her husband's arms and wept bitterly.
"Wife, seeing you like this will only make Zhengjun more upset. You must be strong!"
Lu Anguo didn't know what to say. He knew that any words would be pale and powerless at this moment, but he could only repeat these useless words over and over again.
"My beloved emperor..."
After Su Yueya returned home, her whole family went home, and she went straight into her spatial dimension.
Thinking of Leng Yingying—
She is now a prospective recruit. With the strength of the Queen of the Apocalypse, passing the final test and becoming a female soldier should not be difficult for her.
Given this, Leng Yingying might encounter her older brother and mother while in the military. At that time, they might hear her innermost thoughts and learn about Lu Zhengjun...
Therefore, Su Yueya felt it was necessary to give them a heads-up.
But before that, she first pulled Qiao Xinruo and Qiao Gaoyang aside for a short meeting.
"Xinruo knows too?" Qiao Gaoyang asked in surprise.
“We’ve been doing intensive training recently, and Leng Yingying has become a new recruit. We’re training together, so Xinruo heard her thoughts too,” Su Yueya explained.
“Since I can hear it all, then my sister’s worries are not without reason. Once she becomes a full-fledged female soldier, she might actually run into my older brother and mother. Based on our current speculation, Leng Yingying’s thoughts might be directed at our family, so my mother and older brother might indeed be able to hear them!” Qiao Xinruo said.
"I'm just afraid that if things happen suddenly, they'll be too surprised when they hear it, which might cause them to reveal some flaws..." Su Yueya said.
"So you plan to inform Mom and Dad and your older brother in advance?" Qiao Gaoyang asked.
"Wouldn't it be inappropriate to directly tell him about my brother-in-law faking his death? I'm afraid it might affect his mission," Qiao Xinruo said.
No one knew Lu Zhengjun's current situation, including the three of them.
No one can guarantee what the consequences of being completely honest will be—but even the eldest brother and the others might find out through Leng Yingying's thoughts. But since it hasn't happened yet, it's good to postpone it.
“How about this, let’s lay the groundwork by mentioning that we can hear Leng Yingying’s thoughts first. As for Zhengjun’s fake death… let’s not mention it for now. Just give them a heads-up so that when they encounter it in the future, they’ll be mentally prepared and won’t be too shocked. What do you think?” Su Yueya asked.
After thinking it over, Qiao Xinruo and Qiao Gaoyang both felt that this was the safest course of action at present.
So Su Yueya called a family meeting.
"Mom and Dad, Big Brother, we have something to tell you," Su Yueya said.
"What's wrong? Why do you look so serious?" Qiao Shouyan looked at his second brother and two younger sisters, thinking to himself that they were really not loyal to him, they were all keeping secrets from him.
