"No, no, Auntie, you've misunderstood."
Wang Tianhai was honest and simple-minded, and he never expected such an absurd misunderstanding. He was so shocked that he desperately denied it while awkwardly scratching his head.
"That's right!"
The bald man's agreement was perhaps a rare instance of them agreeing.

“I’ve always been loyal to my eldest son and followed him everywhere. It’s not because of this little black girl that I came here.”
The bald man confessed dismissively.
"I don't like the dark-skinned type; I prefer mature, well-built older women."
The simultaneous denials from both of them made Aunt Shi believe them a little more, but the doubt in her eyes had not completely faded away.
"Aunt Shi, don't talk nonsense... They are friends I met at the auction."
Lu Mingming's cheeks flushed crimson from beneath her skin, the blush gradually spreading to her ears and even her snow-white neck.
Lu Mingming cupped her face in her hands. Even though she knew that the thick black mud on her face obscured her appearance, she still couldn't help but feel increasingly embarrassed and hot after Aunt Shi made wild guesses.
Aunt Shi muttered, "Going to an auction and managing to bring back four male friends, you're quite capable."
After saying this, Aunt Shi instantly transformed into a cheerful and gentle persona, her eyes darting between the two remaining men who hadn't denied it, as if searching for her favorite to be her son-in-law.
"Hello, I'm her..."

Aunt Shi dragged out her words, mumbled Lu Mingming's real name for a moment, and then continued.
“I am her mother, you can call me Aunt Shi. We are so grateful for your help, I was so worried at home.”
"I feel very happy to be able to meet and help kind and brave people."
Oranner made no secret of his praise for Lu Mingming.
Aunt Shi's suspicion returned. She stroked her chin, stared at Lu Mingming's face for a long time, and whispered, "I applied so much black mud, but some blind people still took a liking to her face..."
"Alright, Aunt Shi."
Lu Mingming quickly changed the subject, ending the conversation, and pulled each person aside to introduce their respective identities to Aunt Shi.
Because Aunt Shi had a natural aversion to beastmen, Lu Mingming didn't go into too much detail, fearing that it would prevent Lu Yan and Orannar's group from making the visit.
"Oh, come in and sit down. Don't stay outside. It's the time of year when the seasons are changing, so don't catch a cold."
Aunt Shi unusually treated them to a meal.

The last time Lu Mingming saw Aunt Shi with such an expression was after they returned from watching the fireworks show in the city that never sleeps together.
Aunt Shi took out several cushions that hadn't been used for a long time from the cabinet, patted off the dust with her rough hands, and placed them on the cold wooden stool for the guests to use.
"I'll go get some hot water, you guys chat."
While Aunt Shi was busy, Wang Tianhai asked Lu Mingming, "Is she your mother? She seems very healthy... she doesn't look sick at all."
"this…"
Lu Mingming's mind was in turmoil.
Just as I was about to answer, Aunt Shi came in with a kettle and cup, casually asking, "What's wrong? Who's sick? I have some medicine here."
Lu Mingming dodged the question: "Mom—have you forgotten?"
The shout of "Mom" was deafening, a desperate reminder to cooperate with her words.
Aunt Shi's hands froze, her face blank, as if her thoughts had drifted to some unknown place.

"Aunt Shi, Aunt Shi? Are you alright?"
Lu Mingming waved in front of Aunt Shi, looking puzzled.
What's wrong?
"Oh, it's nothing."
Aunt Shi came to her senses and looked at Lu Mingming with that unfamiliar gaze, as if she were looking at someone through Lu Mingming.
Her voice softened considerably once again, tinged with genuine affection.
"Have some water."
Aunt Shi handed out paper cups filled with warm water to everyone present, and, in conjunction with Lu Mingming's words, said:
“I was very ill before, but thanks to my daughter, I have recently recovered to my normal physical condition.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Shi wiped away her tears with her fingers, deeply moved, as if the incident had truly happened.

With Aunt Shi's assurance, Wang Tianhai simply said "Oh" and didn't say anything more.
In fact, all four shrewd people present noticed that Aunt Shi's previous behavior was not quite right, and Little Black Girl's lies were full of loopholes.
For a time, everyone had different thoughts.
Bald man: I need to find a way to remind my boss not to get too emotional, as the identity of the little black girl and her family is questionable.
Lu Yan: She's still a young girl, and her cooperation isn't very good. She should stay by my side and be properly taught.
Orannal: After confirming her identity with the triple confirmation, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. I'll stay by her side and protect her well.
Wang Tianhai: What should I do? I feel like this girl might be a fraud. Should I expose her?
Lu Mingming: We're doomed!! I hope we can successfully cover this up.
Everyone silently raised their heads and smiled in unison, creating a false impression of peace and friendship. In reality, their thoughts had vanished as if they had been stepped on a banana peel.
