Chapter 109 Thanks to my uncle's help
When Aunt Zhou saw her third brother, whom she had long thought was dead, her eyes welled up with tears, and she was almost speechless with emotion.
If it weren't for Zhang Qiuhe being there, she probably would have already burst into tears while holding her third brother.
Back then, when the Lu family was beheaded, she learned of the deaths of her parents, elder brother, and younger brother while she was in the cold palace. She almost fainted. Now, seeing her younger brother standing unharmed in front of her, it felt like a dream, making her feel somewhat unreal.
Du Wanchun tugged at Aunt Zhou's sleeve and whispered, "Mother, since we're old friends, let's go inside first."
Aunt Zhou snapped out of her daze and quickly nodded, "Yes, let's go inside, let's talk inside."
Du Wanchun took her hand and walked into the house.
Zhou Ruiyuan, Zhou Feng, and Zhou Zhao greeted Lu Yan as he entered the house.
Zhang Qiuhe, feeling a little embarrassed holding her child in the yard, quickly smiled at Aunt Zhou and Du Wanchun and said, "Aunt Zhou, Wanchun, you have guests at your home today, so I'll take my baby home first."
Du Wanchun turned around and smiled, "Okay, Sister Zhang, we'll take you to the shop again tomorrow."
"Thank you, Wanchun." Zhang Qiuhe smiled, picked up the child, and turned to leave.
Miss Mo glanced at her husband as he entered the room, then walked to Zhang Qiuhe's side and said with a smile, "Madam Zhang, we brought some apology gifts, and we'll take them to your home now."
Zhang Qiuhe lowered her head. "Never mind, it's alright. By the way, how is that Liu Shengyuan doing now?"
Miss Mo replied slowly, "My second sister divorced me and kicked me out of the house."
Zhang Qiuhe was startled at first, then laughed with great satisfaction, "Serves him right! Who told him to abandon his wife and children? He's so vicious!"
After saying that, she hurriedly walked outside with her child in her arms.
She didn't hate the Mo family, but she really didn't want the things they sent her.
Miss Mo was good at reading people's expressions. Seeing this, she patiently followed Zhang Qiuhe, gave the coachman a few instructions, and then went home with Zhang Qiuhe.
When Zhang Qiuhe saw them arrive, she couldn't very well send them away, so she politely poured Miss Mo a cup of tea.
After glancing at the shabby room, Miss Mo whispered a few instructions to the servants. Before long, three or four servants unloaded the carriage's contents.
It wasn't anything particularly valuable; there were about four or five bags of rice and three jugs of oil. However, there were thirty taels of silver in each bag of rice, totaling about a hundred taels. When she arrived, Miss Mo was afraid that the young lady wouldn't accept it, so she deliberately hid it in the rice. When the young lady ate the rice later, she would naturally find the silver.
Zhang Qiuhe was quite surprised to see the bags of rice being carried in one by one, and quickly said, "Miss Mo, really, it's not necessary. Although my son and I are struggling financially, we don't need anything from your Mo family."
Miss Mo didn't care whether she accepted it or not. After having the servants put down the rice and oil, she smiled, got up, and left with the servants.
"Young Miss, we really can't accept these things, Young Miss!"
Zhang Qiuhe tried to return the rice, but each bag weighed about twenty pounds, and she couldn't carry it. By the time she dragged the rice to the door, Miss Mo had already left with her servant. Helpless, she had no choice but to accept the rice.
Looking at the rice, Zhang Qiuhe was filled with emotion. She hadn't expected the second young lady of the Mo family to be so discerning. If it were a more assertive young lady, it probably wouldn't be rice that was delivered today.
She suddenly understood why Du Wanchun spoke to Miss Mo the way she did today; it seemed she had anticipated Miss Mo's actions.
Zhang Qiuhe looked in the direction of the Zhou family, her face full of gratitude. She thought to herself that if it weren't for Du Wanchun, she didn't know what would have become of her. She must repay her properly in the future.
After Zhang Qiuhe left, the Zhou family stopped hiding things.
Aunt Zhou hugged Lu Yan tightly and burst into tears, "Third brother, how have you been all these years?"
Looking at his second sister, dressed like a peasant woman, Lu Yan felt a pang of heartache and comforted her, saying, "Second sister, I'm fine. General Mo has taken good care of me all these years, it's just that you and His Highness..."
After speaking, he looked at Zhou Ruiyuan, Zhou Feng, and Zhou Zhao standing to the side.
Zhou Ruiyuan bowed to him and said, "Uncle, we are all doing well."
After saying that, he took Du Wanchun's hand and said, "This is my wife, her surname is Du."
Du Wanchun bowed to her uncle, whom she was meeting for the first time, and said, "Uncle."
Lu Yan was surprised to see that he even had a wife. "It's only been three years, and the princes have all grown up. I remember you used to follow me around and ask me to take you to play polo."
As he spoke, perhaps thinking of his family, a slight sadness appeared on his face. "I never imagined that in the blink of an eye, he would be married."
Upon hearing his words, Aunt Zhou immediately changed the subject and asked him, "You've married the eldest daughter of the Mo family?"
Lu Yan snapped out of his reverie and nodded. "Yes, we've been married for over two years and have a child who looks a lot like you. I'll bring her over next time so you can see her."
Aunt Zhou was overjoyed. "That's wonderful! Third brother! Didn't the Wu family want to wipe out our Lu family line? Didn't they want to exterminate us? Now they're going to fail!"
At the mention of the Wu family, Lu Yan's eyes flashed with hatred. "Second sister, don't worry, we will return to the capital one day. When that happens, I will make those who harmed us pay with their blood!"
