The man stared intently at the little baby in his arms who was still licking a candied hawthorn.
"Investigate!"
"yes."
On the way back, Lu Ziqian bought Momo a candied hawthorn as well.
"Protect the children, I'm going home."
"yes."
After Lu Ziqian returned home, he asked Su Yujiao about the details of the day she gave birth.
Zhou was taken aback: "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
Lu Ziqian didn't hide anything and told Zhou Shi directly that he suspected the two children were his biological children.
Zhou stood up abruptly, staring at him with wide eyes: "How is that possible?"
“An’an looks a lot like you, but Jiao Jiao said that the farmer’s husband does look somewhat like you.”
"After all, you are very good-looking. She can't marry someone who is ugly. Otherwise, if the child is too ugly, outsiders will gossip."
"Don't make unfounded suspicions. You know Jiaojiao's belly is fake."
This explanation is plausible, but Lu Ziqian is still unwilling to give up.
He really wished An'an and Momo were his children.
"Mother, did you see with your own eyes that those two children were brought from outside?"
"On the day of childbirth, were you waiting outside the delivery room, or were you inside the delivery room acting out a scene with Jiaojiao?"
He never asked about these details because he had never suspected that the child was his, so he naturally didn't care about the circumstances of the day the child was born.
The Zhou family was the same; after all, it was a fake birth, something they knew perfectly well, so what was there to ask?
Seeing that her son was still unwilling to give up, Zhou could only carefully recall what happened that day.
“I went to the estate that day and stayed there overnight. When I came back the next day, the child was brought to me.”
"That night, they also dealt with Xiao Zhu. I heard from your sister-in-law that she tried to use witchcraft to curse the three children. That very night, the clan chief decided to divorce her."
Lu Ziqian frowned: "So you mean you weren't in the manor the day Jiaojiao gave birth?"
"Didn't you arrange for someone to bring the two children over?"
"You haven't even met the couple who were the surrogate mothers for Jiao Jiao?"
"Jiaojiao arranged all of this herself?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou's eyes gradually became excited. Could it be that Jiao Jiao had been hiding it all along?
At that time, she was determined to get a divorce, so she went to great lengths to hide her pregnancy and staged a grand drama of surrogacy!
is that so?
"Go and call your two sisters-in-law over quickly; they were there that day."
Soon, both Bai and Li arrived.
"Mother, Seventh Brother is here too."
"Why did you invite your daughter-in-law over?" Both of them were very curious.
"Sit down, everyone sit down."
"Tell me the details of the day Jiaojiao gave birth."
Were you waiting outside, or were you helping out in the delivery room?
When were those two children brought into the mansion?
Bai and Li exchanged a glance, wondering why they were suddenly asking about something that happened two years ago.
Bai said, "Let me explain."
"On the day my sister-in-law gave birth, we found two maids from outside the mansion who knew martial arts. I think their surname was Wei."
"My sister-in-law said she asked the Wei sisters to guard the gate because you went to the estate and she was afraid that the second branch of the family would suddenly come and cause trouble and find out about her faking childbirth."
"Those two maids were indeed very diligent, showing no respect for Old Madam Zhu and always blocking the doorway."
“My second sister-in-law and I were waiting outside. At that time, only Grandma Sun and Xiao Tao were in the delivery room.”
"After my sister-in-law gave birth, Xiao Tao opened the door, and my second sister-in-law and I went in to see the baby."
"The two children were sleeping peacefully in their cradles."
"As for when it was brought into the manor, we don't know."
"Everything was arranged by my younger brother and sister-in-law. There were too many people that day, so we couldn't ask them for details."
"Why are you suddenly asking about this, Mother? What happened?"
Zhou shook her head: "It's alright, you can go now."
"I just remembered and asked casually."
After the two left, Zhou said nervously, "Go and investigate Granny Sun quickly."
"Currently, only three people know the truth. If Jiaojiao intends to hide it, Xiaotao definitely won't tell."
"The only way is to start with Granny Sun."
Do you know where Granny Sun lives?
Madam Zhou nodded: "Of course I know that. People of unknown origin must be investigated. Only those with a clean background are allowed to enter the manor."
Zhou wrote down an address and handed it to him: "While you're at it, ask around in Granny Sun's village if any women had twins two years ago, but the babies died at full term."
“Check the nearby villages as well.”
"Um."
After Lu Ziqian left, he gave the address to Mo Shu and asked Mo Shu to go there in person.
"What are you looking at? Go to bed."
Lu Ziqian was taken aback: "I'm sleeping in this room tonight?"
Su Yujiao pouted: "You can sleep wherever you want."
Seeing her both proactive and shy demeanor, the man chuckled, strode onto the bed, pulled the woman into his arms, and planted several kisses on her pretty face.
"Oh dear, it's all drool."
"I told you to go to sleep, not to do anything else."
"Want to do something else? How about we try it on the swing tonight?" the man said with a wicked grin.
Su Yujiao kicked the man: "If you want to sleep, then sleep. If you don't want to sleep, then get out. Don't be so indecent."
"Sleep, sleep, sleep!"
The next morning, before dawn, Lu Ziqian suddenly woke up from his dream, his forehead covered in a fine layer of sweat.
He turned to look at the woman beside him, as if trying to figure out whether this was his dream or he had entered hers.
"Jiaojiao, wake up."
