Lu Yuan glanced at the back of Su Ningjie's head and continued, "The day I rushed back to Huayang County, I went to the mass grave outside the city, trying to find my eldest brother's remains. Even if I could find the swaddling clothes that wrapped my eldest brother, I could build a cenotaph for him. However, by sunset, I still hadn't found the baby's bones or the torn quilt. I thought maybe my eldest brother was still alive, so I couldn't find him."
Lu Yuan changed the subject, her tone a little excited. "I returned to Xishui County yesterday, and Aunt San told me that Jie Ge'er might be my younger brother. He's about the same age as my eldest brother, and he has a red mole on his face that looks just like my grandmother's. There's also the word 'deer' embroidered on the lining of his swaddling clothes. I think he's my eldest brother."
Xiao Lingyu pretended to be shocked, "Sister, this can't be such a coincidence, right?"
Lu Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and lowered his voice as much as possible, "Was Brother Jie the one you picked up from the mass grave outside Huayang County?"
Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it anymore. "Xingyi, Brother Jie, come to the main room."
Su Xingyi took Su Ningjie's hand and walked into the main room, and Si Chuyu followed in.
When Su Ning'an stood up and closed the door, Xiao Xier and Su Ningwen noticed something was wrong and they stood up and went into the main room.
"Xingyi, please tell me."
Su Xingyi turned his head to look at Su Ningjie, "Brother Jie, there is something your father has been hiding from you. Now that you have grown up, you have the right to know about your own affairs."
Su Ningjie had long known that he was a child adopted by his father.
Now that his father wanted to talk to him in person, he still felt a little sad.
Why is he not his father’s biological son?
"Dad, what do you say?"
Su Xingyi stroked his little head and whispered, "Six years ago, Dad came back from Huayang County and met you at the mass grave outside the city..."
Su Ningwen was shocked when he heard this. How could his second brother be picked up by his father from outside just like his younger sister?
"Second brother, don't take Daddy's words seriously. He lied to you. You are Daddy's son, my second brother."
How could the second brother not be her biological brother?
Xiao Xier couldn't accept this fact and didn't want to lose a brother.
"Dad, please tell me this isn't true, right?"
Seeing that Su Xingyi didn't say anything, Xiao Xier looked at Lu Yuansi and Chu Yu, realized something, threw herself into Xiao Lingyu's arms, and burst into tears.
"Wuwuwu... Mother, are uncle and aunt going to take my second brother away? Wuwuwu... I don't agree..."
"Sister, don't cry." Su Ningjie walked over and patted her gently, coaxing her, "Second brother won't leave."
Xiao Xier stopped crying instantly and said with red eyes: "Is this true? You won't leave?"
Su Ningjie nodded, "Yes, second brother will not leave. You are my sister, and I will always spoil you."
Xiao Xier rubbed her red eyes and asked, "Are you serious? You won't leave us?"
Su Ningjie assured: "Second brother always keeps his word."
Xiao Xier looked at Lu Yuan and thought of the little sister who was not very smart.
It seems that my second brother's family needs him to spend more time with them.
"Second brother, you should spend more time with your elder sister and second sister. If you miss us, come back to see us. Also, our new house is about to be built, so you can come back and live here anytime."
Xiao Xier stretched out her fingers and counted, then said to Lu Yuan, "Auntie... Oh, I have to call you Big Sister now. I want my second brother to stay at the Lu Mansion for four nights, and then go back to the Su Residence for three nights. Is this arrangement okay?"
Xiao Lingyu looked at the child in her arms and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She couldn't bear to lose her second brother one second, and then she made arrangements for her second brother the next second. She was really a smart kid.
Lu Yuan looked at Xiao Xier's cute and serious appearance, and her heart was melted by her. She really hoped to have such a cute and sweet-talking daughter in the future.
"Xiao Xi'er, this arrangement is naturally possible. The Su and Lu families are already one family. From now on, the eldest sister and the second sister will spoil you."
Si Chuyu quickly agreed: "And my brother-in-law will also spoil you."
Xiao Xier was very excited. It was really a good thing that she had three more people who loved her.
Lu Yuan looked at Su Ningjie, "Brother Jie, I'm sorry that I found you so late."
Seeing Lu Yuan's eyes welling up with red, Su Ningjie quickly walked over to her, hugged her shoulders, and coaxed her in a brotherly tone, "Big sister, you've worked hard these years. From now on, let your younger brother protect you. I will never let anyone bully you."
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, sister will wait until you grow up. Until then, let sister protect you."
"Brother Jie, your brother-in-law will protect you three siblings."
Su Ningjie looked up at Si Chuyu, feeling complicated for a moment. He went from being an uncle to his godfather, and then from his godfather to his brother-in-law. It turned out that there was a reason why he liked him so inexplicably.
"Brother-in-law, thanks to you for being with my sisters all these years, I will treat you well. However, you must double your love for my elder sister in the future and not let her suffer any grievances, otherwise I will vent my anger on her behalf."
Si Chuyu said that he was under a lot of pressure because what he wanted was a godson, not a biological brother-in-law.
Si Chuyu rubbed his little head lovingly, "Don't worry, my brother-in-law will spoil you as well."
Lu Yuan added, "Brother Jie, Grandfather doesn't know you're his biological grandson yet. Tomorrow you can go to the Lu Mansion and tell him face to face, okay?"
"Grandfather, do you still not know the truth about Mother's difficult childbirth six years ago? And your poor health and Second Sister's incurable brain disease are related to the Second and Fourth Wings?"
Su Ningjie remembered that his grandfather had fallen ill before and only woke up with the help of his mother's century-old ginseng. If his grandfather knew the truth, he would probably faint again.
Lu Yuan didn't expect that his elder brother had overheard everything just now. He was really attentive. He nodded slightly:
"Grandfather doesn't know yet. When you come tomorrow, we'll first tell him the truth of what happened back then, and then we'll tell him that you're his grandson. Grandfather will be so happy he can't stop grinning."
"Then it's as my sister says. Sister and brother-in-law, please sit down first. I'll go make lunch for you."
"Brother Jie, stay and spend more time with your sister and brother-in-law. Dad will make lunch."
Su Xingyi and Su Ningan stood up together and went to the kitchen.
"Brother Jie, is your father's legs better?"
Si Chuyu and Lu Yuan only then noticed the changes in Su Xingyi. The last time he came, he was still in a wheelchair, but not long after, he was able to walk.
Su Ningjie, "My father's legs and feet just recovered when you just entered the yard. It just so happens that our family of six will go to the county together tomorrow."
Si Chuyu and Lu Yuan looked at each other. Madam Su's medical skills were really superb. In half a year, they would be able to experience the joy of being parents.
"Knock, knock, knock...why is the door still closed?"
He Jianzhang felt that since the couple came with a carriage full of gifts, something big must have happened, and the two of them were a bit too nice to the Su family.
Soon, Si Chuyu opened the courtyard door, "Master He, come in and talk."
He Jianzhang glanced at the main hall and asked in a low voice, "Tell me quickly, what big thing are you and Madam Su plotting?"
