After returning home.
Jiang Yue went to see Old Man Chen first.
She didn't see Old Man Chen, but she spoke a few words to him outside the house where he was in seclusion.
According to Mr. Lu, Old Man Chen began his seclusion last month.
As for when he would be released, Old Man Chen didn't say.
After returning from Old Man Chen's place, Jiang Yue first went to her room to take a shower, and then lay down on the bed to rest for a while.
After such a long flight, and then visiting Grandpa Lu and her master on the way back, Jiang Yue was truly exhausted. Now, lying in bed, she felt like her back was no longer her own.
A short while later, Lu Jingnian came in and saw her lying on the bed asleep, without even a blanket.
They look exhausted.
Lu Jingnian took the blanket and covered Jiang Yue with it, then kissed her on the cheek tenderly before quickly leaving the room.
He had just returned to China and had many things to take care of, so he couldn't stay home with Jiang Yue to rest.
Fortunately, there were many people in the family. When Lu Jingnian left, he specifically instructed his wife to visit Jiang Yue more often.
Mrs. Lu nodded seriously, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Yueyue. You go and do your work."
After Lu Jingnian left, Madam Lu went to see Jiang Yue and stayed in the room with her for a while until Ping An came to call her before she went out.
Jiang Yue slept until dark before waking up.
She didn't wake up on her own; she was woken up by the baby in her belly.
The little one kept moving around in Jiang Yue's belly, waking her up.
When Jiang Yue opened her eyes, she realized that it was already dark outside.
A warm yellow nightlight was on beside her bed, allowing her to see the room's furnishings clearly and preventing her from falling when she got up.
"Squeak!"
The door opened.
Madam Lu carried in a bowl of bird's nest soup. When she saw that Jiang Yue was awake, she immediately smiled.
"Yueyue is awake. I was just about to wake you up."
Setting aside the bird's nest in her hand, Madam Lu smiled and came over to get Jiang Yue a set of clothes. "It's almost time. Change your clothes, drink the bird's nest, and we'll be heading to the old house soon."
Your dad and I have agreed that we'll come back after dinner, and you can get some rest when we get back.
"Thank you, Mom."
Jiang Yue nodded, and after Madam Lu left, she quickly changed her clothes, then finished the bird's nest stew that Madam Lu had specially prepared for her, before leaving the room.
Outside, Lu Jingnian also returned just then.
Seeing Jiang Yue come out, he immediately walked over to her and whispered in her ear, "Your aunt will also be going to the old house tonight. Be careful of her and don't have any contact with her."
"Aunt?"
Jiang Yue looked at Lu Jingnian in shock, "Didn't she already divorce my uncle?"
Logically speaking, she should no longer be able to attend such family banquets.
"Could it be that she and her uncle have remarried?"
"This matter is a bit complicated. I'll explain it to you when I get back tonight."
Lu Jingnian grasped Jiang Yue's hand and said, "Be careful of her. I heard she and Zhao Lanxi have been getting quite close lately."
When Zhao Lanxi was mentioned, Lu Jingnian paused for a moment, "You don't need to worry too much about Zhao Lanxi. I received some information today, but I can't tell you right now. Zhao Lanxi is involved in some things. She may have committed a crime, and the police are currently looking for evidence."
If there is sufficient evidence, she will have to spend the rest of her life in prison.
Zhao Lanxi actually committed a crime.
Jiang Yue's feelings were somewhat complicated. "I understand. I'll be careful of that aunt tonight. Don't worry."
She's pregnant and about to give birth, so she absolutely wouldn't dare let anything happen to herself.
Jiang Yue felt a pang of sadness over Zhao Lanxi's situation.
She thought Zhao Lanxi was just trying to steal her business, and even if she used some underhanded tactics, they were just common business practices, which was nothing to worry about. She never expected that Zhao Lanxi would break the law.
On the way to the old house, Jiang Yue suddenly remembered something.
"Mom, my sister-in-law should have given birth by now, right?"
Anlu was pregnant when she left, so she should have given birth by now, right?
If Jiang Yue hadn't mentioned it, Madam Lu would have almost forgotten that she hadn't told Jiang Yue about An Luo's matter yet.
"Yes, she gave birth."
Madam Lu smiled and said, "She gave birth to a girl who looks like An Luo. She's quiet and very pretty."
The baby is now over two months old, but has been staying at Anlu's parents' house. Since Anlu gave birth, she has rarely come back because she has to take care of the baby.
"My sister-in-law gave birth to a daughter, but my aunt really wanted a grandson. After my sister-in-law gave birth, my aunt must have made a scene, right?" Jiang Yue asked. She could almost imagine the aunt's reaction after she found out that An Luo had given birth to a daughter.
"That's right."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Lu felt sorry for Anluo. "You weren't in the country at the time, so you don't know how infuriating the situation was. During the days when Anluo was about to give birth, your aunt seemed to have changed her personality. She took care of Anluo in the hospital and was incredibly attentive to her. We all thought she had become a better person."
No one expected that after the child was born, she found out it was a girl. Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, she secretly planned to steal the child and throw her away, so that Jing Lan and An Luo could have another one.
Fortunately, Jing Lan knew what kind of person she was and was on guard against her; otherwise, the child might have been abandoned.
"After this incident, Anluo went back to her parents' home after being discharged from the hospital. She spent her postpartum period there and hasn't returned since."
Jing Lan now practically lives at the An family home, taking care of An Luo and the child.
Speaking of this, Madam Lu couldn't help but sigh. If it weren't for her sister-in-law being so troublesome, this once happy family wouldn't have turned out like this.
This shows how important it is to marry a good wife.
"Isn't Uncle angry?"
I heard from Jingnian that tonight is the family reunion dinner, and my uncle is actually bringing my aunt along?
Jiang Yue couldn't understand her uncle's actions. Logically speaking, her aunt had done something so serious, her uncle should be very angry. How could he possibly take her back to the old house for a meal?
"Why!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Lu sighed heavily. "It's not that your uncle wanted to take her, but he had no choice. Your aunt failed to get rid of the child that day, and she got into a car accident and injured her brain."
Although she survived, she's now like a fool. Her family doesn't care about her, and if your uncle doesn't take care of her either, she'll really be left begging on the streets to die.
"She is Jinglan's mother after all. Your uncle and Jinglan couldn't just stand by and watch her freeze to death on the street. Luckily, your uncle retired last month and has been taking care of her at home."
A lot has really happened in the past few months.
Jiang Yue couldn't help but sigh, never expecting her aunt to have become like this.
No wonder Lu Jingnian said things were a bit complicated and didn't explain them to her in detail. It's probably because things are far more complicated than Madam Lu made them out to be.
