Grandpa Zhen was initially displeased, worried that his younger sister might be wronged.
His expression softened when he heard that something had happened to the main family of the Han family.
Fearing his sister might overthink things, he comforted her, saying, "Lide is a man with great potential. Doing serious things is the most important thing. Don't blame him for not spending time with you!"
Zhen Xiaozhi gave a vague "hmm," it was unclear whether she had actually heard her, but she didn't seem to be in a very good mood.
Zhen Wanwan hurriedly said, "Aunt! Please come in and sit down. You must be cold after traveling for so long."
When the great-aunt returned to her parents' home, the younger generation of children called out to her one after another.
Zhen Xiaozhi took out the prepared red envelopes, only to find that the others were carrying several red envelopes, one of which looked quite heavy.
Suddenly, I felt that the light red envelope in my hand was a bit embarrassing to present.
However, she had no choice but to give them to them one by one.
At the end, I realized I hadn't prepared two red envelopes.
She originally intended to leave the last two to Zhen Wanwan so that she could take them back to her child.
However, one of these portions was given to Xiao Yizhi, who appeared unexpectedly.
After thinking for a moment, she took off the bracelet from her hand and handed it to Zhen Wanwan.
"I thought you two were so cute that day, but it's a pity you arrived too early and I didn't prepare any decent gifts. I'll make up for it this time!"
Zhen Wanwan looked at the gold bracelet that had been stuffed into her hand, and for once, she raised her eyes to look at Zhen Xiaozhi.
Although she was shocked by her aunt's generosity, she couldn't refuse her aunt's kindness.
"Then I'll thank Auntie on behalf of Guabao and Tianbao!"
Zhen Xiaozhi patted her hand: "Good girl!"
She looked around, puzzled, and asked, "I heard from Fugui that your husband who went to the battlefield came back alive? Where is he?"
The Zhen family announced the engagement between Zhen Wanwan and Zhu Yuan in a unified manner. Previously, Zhu Yuan was seriously injured on the battlefield, and the villagers spread the wrong word, so everyone thought he was dead.
Later, the whole family fled here to escape the famine. Unexpectedly, they met their son-in-law, who was stationed here with troops. After clearing up the misunderstanding, the two discussed it and decided that it was unlucky for the dead to come back to life.
So they arranged for the two to remarry, and since all of Zhu Yuan's family members had died, Zhu Yuan voluntarily agreed to marry into the family.
In fact, none of the villagers who had seen Zhuyuan's face believed that he had voluntarily married into the family; on the contrary, they believed that he had been forced into it by the Zhen family.
However, Zhen Xiaozhi, who had never met him, thought that Zhu Yuan was just an ordinary country man.
She didn't care about marrying into the family or anything like that.
Zhen Wanwan explained, "He has official business to attend to and is rarely at home."
Zhen Xiaozhi had absolutely no interest in this niece's husband whom she had never met.
He simply offered a polite greeting after hearing the news of her return from the dead.
After chatting for more than an hour, Grandpa Zhen and Zhen Xiaozhi took their leave.
Even though Lian Zhen and her friends had warmly invited him to dinner, he didn't want to eat. Instead, he took the return gifts from Lian Zhen's family, got into the carriage, and went back to the county town.
Grandpa Zhen watched the carriage disappear into the distance and sighed inexplicably.
Old Mrs. Li said irritably, "Stop looking! Your eyes are about to pop out! I really can't bear to see you go back with her for a few days! We can manage with me and the children here!"
Grandpa Zhen looked distressed and glanced at Grandma Li: "You love to talk nonsense! I'm just worried that she and her brother-in-law are having a fight!"
At this point in the conversation, Grandma Li got quite animated, pulling Grandpa Zhen aside and whispering, "Grandpa, you've noticed the unusual behavior too?"
Grandpa Zhen sighed and said dejectedly, "She's my sister, how could I not know?"
Grandma Li swallowed, and seeing that Grandpa Zhen looked unwell, she didn't rub salt into his wounds.
"I'll have my second son go to the county town to inquire in a couple of days!"
The Han family was a prominent family in the county town, and it was easy to find out the whole story with a few inquiries.
After seeing Zhen Xiaozhi off, Zhen Wanwan led Yuan Huizhou and Xiao Yizhi home.
With Zhang Mama's careful feeding, Guabao and Tianbao had already drunk their fill.
The two little ones are moving their arms and legs around, trying to learn how to roll over.
Yuan Huizhou applauded and cheered after the two successfully turned the tables.
As for Xiao Yizhi, he dared not approach Guabao and Tianbao, fearing that he might accidentally use too much force and hurt the two children.
Zhen Wanwan beckoned to Xiao Yizhi with her finger.
"I've already sent word about your matter, and I expect to receive a reply in the next day or two. You should stay home these next few days and wait for your father to come and pick you up!"
Xiao Yizhi avoided eye contact; he didn't want to go back to Kyoto.
The home in Kyoto in his heart was not his real home.
Since he was old enough to understand, there had never been a day when he was as happy at home as he was in Meizi Village.
How could he possibly want to go back?
Seeing that Xiao Yizhi remained silent, Zhen Wanwan did not lecture him, letting him follow behind Yuan Huizhou.
The original story is told from the female protagonist's perspective, focusing on how she discovers her true identity, defeats the fake heiress, and is then showered with affection by her parents.
And the process of getting to know, understand, and fall in love with the male lead.
The book rarely describes the male protagonist's inner thoughts, so Zhen Wanwan couldn't figure them out either.
The story hasn't even begun yet, but a series of unexpected events have already altered the course of the female protagonist's life.
Not to mention that this was more than a decade or so before the story began, and Zhen Wanwan had no idea what had happened during those years.
The future is full of uncertainties, and now, in order to win the male lead's favor, she has met him ahead of time.
Regardless, nothing has happened yet. The male and female protagonists in this world are still young. As long as Tianbao has less contact with the male protagonist and doesn't develop feelings for him, that's fine.
How the relationship between the male and female leads develops in the future is none of her business.
As long as you live your life well, let them make as much trouble as they want.
After thinking things through, Zhen Wanwan ignored Xiao Yizhi's little scheme.
Tmall Genie didn't mention any time limit for this favorability rating.
After all, she has a long life ahead of her, and she doesn't lack money right now.
Before the reply from Kyoto arrived the next day, Feng He sent someone to find her.
They said the house was finished and asked her to inspect it.
Zhen Wanwan was sometimes quite curious about Feng He's official position. Logically speaking, he was in charge of the maritime affairs of this area.
How did you manage to set aside your official duties and find the time to help her repair her house?
They even took on the job of watching over iron ore mines.
Of course, she wouldn't be so petty as to ask that. She vaguely sensed that Zhu Yuan's subordinates were all carrying out hidden missions.
She didn't want to get involved in trouble, and she didn't ask questions.
So after the meal, she went out with Granny Zhang.
Zhen Fuyou was still driving.
Seeing her second brother looking so radiant, Zhen Wanwan asked curiously, "Second brother, what good news is there that makes you so happy?"
Zhenfu brandished the whip with a flourish, her voice brimming with undisguised joy: "You'll find out soon enough!"
