Hong Qiujue waited until everyone was seated before she spoke to Huo Jin and Zhang Chan.
"Dad, Mom, I'm not Jinzhou and Jinhao's biological mother. Their biological mother had died of illness when I met my husband."
Hong Qiujue confessed to Hawking and Zhang Chan.
Huo Jin and Zhang Chan looked at her in shock, not understanding why she said that. If he wasn't her biological son, how could she be so kind to Jinzhou Jinhao?
Seeing that his parents didn't believe him, Huo Zhiyuan said, "Dad, Mom, everything my wife said is true. Jinzhou's mother, Lv Qiuyu, and I were imprisoned because of our master's family. Qiuyu's health was damaged in prison, and she died not long after she was released. I was both a father and a mother to two sons. Later, by chance, I saved Qiujue. She was with Jinqian at the time. When she saw me taking care of my two sons alone and starving, she told me that she was willing to marry me and help me raise the children. For the sake of my two sons, I agreed. She took Qiuyu's place and took care of Jinzhou and Jinhao. I also loved Jinqian as if he were my own son."
Huo Zhiyuan told his parents the truth about what happened that year.
"If you are not Jinzhou Jinhao's biological mother, then who are you?"
Zhang Chan asked Hong Qiujue.
"Dad, Mom, I was originally the concubine's daughter of the Marquis of Huaiyang in the capital. Jinqian is the legitimate son of Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Marquis of Anyang, and the Princess and I are close friends. After the Princess left, she asked me to take good care of the Crown Prince. I accidentally heard that the Marquis of Anyang's mother and his concubine were plotting to kill the Crown Prince, and I begged my father to help me rescue the Crown Prince. He faked my mother's and my mother's deaths. I fled with my mother and the Crown Prince all the way to Jingzhou, settled my mother, and fled with the Crown Prince all the way until we fled to Liangzhou, hoping to settle down, and then I met my husband. In order for the Crown Prince to have a new identity and live well, I married my husband and replaced their biological mother in Jinzhou. Dad, Mom, I'm sorry for keeping it a secret from you."
Hong Qiujue told Huo Jin and Zhang Chan everything.
"Are you the Marquis' daughter? Jin Qian is the Crown Prince?"
Hawking was so frightened by the huge news that he almost fainted.
The daughter-in-law who had been toiling away in his family and calling him "Dad" was actually the daughter of a marquis. The grandson who called him "Grandpa" and was filial to him was actually the eldest princess's son, the Prince of Anyang, a royal relative. His family's ancestral tombs must be filled with smoke, otherwise how could such an important figure be in his family?
"My daughter-in-law is no longer the daughter of Marquis Huaiyang. She is dead. However, Jinqian is indeed the crown prince. I hope my parents can keep his life story a secret and not let outsiders know for the time being, lest Marquis Anyang send someone to kill Jinqian."
Hong Qiujue said with instructions.
"I understand this! We will definitely not let outsiders know."
Hawking assured.
Although he is not his biological grandson, he has lived with him for thirteen years and has called him grandpa for thirteen years, so he is better than his biological grandson.
"Girl, you've worked so hard. It must have been very hard and scary to flee all the way."
Zhang Chan said with heartache.
A woman, who has to take care of her mother and child while being afraid of being killed, must be feeling very tormented.
"It's okay, it's all over."
Hong Qiujue said with a faint smile.
Only she knew the pain she felt at that time.
But it's already passed, so don't dwell on it.
"Yes, it's in the past. You have endured all the hardships and finally achieved your goal. The people in Jinzhou will definitely treat you well."
Zhang Chan said.
"In-laws, let's go out for a walk. There are many fun places in Taizhou."
After Zhang Chan finished speaking, she pulled Gu Yunxi out of the yard and went to visit the city.
Qinglan and Moxue Canglang followed to protect their safety.
Gao Zhijun took Qinglong to the clinic, and Jinxiu was very happy to see Gao Zhijun.
The clinic's business is average right now, and everyone is relatively idle.
Gao Zhijun told the doctor that the clinic would be open one day tomorrow and closed the day after tomorrow. If any patients needed medical attention, they should go to Huojia Village.
After leaving the clinic, I went to the pork stall to find the butcher and asked him to kill ten pigs the next day and keep the pig blood and offal.
The ten pigs are New Year's gifts for workshop workers and workers in restaurants, hot pot restaurants, and soap workshops.
Gao Zhijun took Qinglong to the cloth shop to order cloth, and also went to the rice shop to order rice. These were all New Year's goods for the workers.
Whether it is a restaurant, hot pot restaurant, clinic, soap shop, or workshop, all will be closed after tomorrow.
Except for the workshop which opens on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the rest will open after the second day.
It was already evening when we returned to the yard. After everyone arrived, we started eating.
After dinner, everyone went to bed early.
The next day, the butcher brought ten heads of chopped pork. Gao Zhijun distributed the pork from the Sun and Huo families to them. She took the pork, cloth and rice to the clinic.
"Everyone, come here. Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, and we'll have holidays after today. You've all worked hard during this period, so now we're giving everyone bonuses and New Year's goods. Doctors' bonuses are two taels, nurses' are one tael, five hundred wen, and everyone else's is one tael. Each person will also receive three pounds of pork, one piece of cloth, and twenty pounds of rice."
Gao Zhijun told everyone about the benefits.
"Master, this is too much!"
"Jinqian's family, this is too much."
The doctor and the villagers of Huojia Village said.
"It's not much, this is what everyone deserves. Now let's start collecting the New Year's goods. Those whose names are called can come and get the New Year's goods."
Gao Zhijun said.
The one who read out the names was Hong Qiujue, who was in charge of distributing bonuses. Huo Jinqian was in charge of distributing pork, Jinxiu was in charge of distributing horseshoes, and Tao Yuanzheng was in charge of distributing rice.
Everyone came to receive bonuses and New Year's goods according to their names.
