Seeing how polite the official was, the villagers' goodwill towards him increased, but they lamented the twists of fate.
"I heard that the Chu family is an official family. If Yunni hadn't gone missing, she would be such a lucky young lady."
She could marry into a family of equal social standing and avoid such torment.
"Fortunately, the Qiao family elders are kind and benevolent, so Yunni has not lost her parents' love and is now reunited with her biological parents."
The Song family was also in the crowd. They had no idea that Qiao Yunni was actually the daughter of a state official.
Old Mrs. Song was filled with regret. She wished she hadn't kicked Qiao Yunni out of the Song family. That way, Song Laosan would not only be a captain, but he could also get a position in the prefecture, holding two positions at the same time. How wonderful that would have been!
They weren't afraid of the Guan family finding out; as long as they didn't meet each other, nothing would happen.
Oh, I regret it so much.
Now, the third brother is on the run and no one knows where he is, while Qiao Yunni has become a noble young lady.
I heard that Old Master Chu was demoted from the second-in-command of the prefecture to a minor official position. Now that he has found his daughter, he's full of energy and will probably be promoted back sooner or later.
These were all hints that the Qiao family had been subtly leaking. Their biological parents had come looking for them, which would bring them honor, and besides, everyone would find out sooner or later.
Moreover, the two elders ultimately wanted to slap the Song family in the face.
You look down on their daughter because she's from a poor background, right? Sorry, that's not true.
Now, the villagers' gazes, filled with unspoken meanings, fell upon the Song family.
"Some people get good fortune but don't know how to cherish it. Now they're probably kicking themselves."
"Actually, they're just not good enough for each other. Even if they happen to get lucky, they won't be able to keep it."
"So, stop daydreaming. If you're not destined for it, just honestly go to the fields and farm."
Whether it's Guan Yuqin or Qiao Yunni, the Song family is the same.
The root cause is that this family is selfish and cold-hearted.
Song Ruier was also in the crowd, staring at the Qiao family courtyard with a complex expression in her eyes.
Compared to the Guan family, he felt disgusted with his mother's humble origins.
Who would have thought that fate would hold such a mysterious twist?
His mother was a daughter of an official, so wouldn't he be a son of an official?
This is fundamentally different from Song Laosan's attempt to curry favor with the Guan family.
Song Laosan wanted to start a family with another woman and disown him as his son, but Qiao Yunni was of official blood and had not remarried.
A surge of excitement welled up inside him; perhaps he no longer needed to wait for Song Laosan.
Although the Chu family's position is low now, Old Master Chu is only physically weak due to excessive longing for his daughter. Once he recovers and his spirits are up, things will be different.
Old Mrs. Song immediately realized what was going on, her eyes lit up, and she nudged Song Ruier's shoulder: "Ruier, hurry up and acknowledge your relatives. Those are your maternal grandparents. Your maternal grandfather has been in officialdom for many years. Although he is not in a high position now, he must know many people who can help you."
