"Young Master Zhou, it's so late, is there something you need?" Gu Shouxin asked.
"Well, I have some things to say about Aunt Lian, and I wanted to come and talk to Second Uncle and Aunt Lian about them," Lu Zheng said.
Since they were already guests, and they hadn't broken off relations yet (Lu Zheng's seeds were still planted in their yard), the family invited him inside.
Gu Shouxin gave Gu Nian a look, and Gu Nian then led Gu Xin to the cabin, using the excuse that she needed Gu Xin to help out.
Gu Xin didn't think much of it; at the moment, she considered Zhou Gongzi an insignificant person.
Lu Zheng was not unhappy about this; on the contrary, he agreed with the Gu family's actions. As long as they were protecting Xin'er, he was happy to see it.
"Young Master Zhou, please have some tea!" Cai Xiaolian went to the kitchen and brought over some tea.
"Thank you, Aunt Lian." Lu Zheng picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then said, "Second Uncle Gu, Aunt Lian, it's like this, I just went to the prefectural capital and arrived this afternoon. In the prefectural capital, I accidentally discovered that Aunt Lian's brother's family lives there."
The couple looked at Lu Zheng without asking any questions, and listened to him continue.
Lu Zheng said, "At the end of last month, a group of people came from Qingzhou Prefecture, supposedly looking for their young master. My great-uncle mentioned to me that the head of the family there knows him and asked him to help search for him. I saw Aunt Lian's brother and his family leave with that family, so I asked around and found out that Aunt Lian's brother is the person they are looking for. I wonder if Second Uncle and Aunt Lian know about this?"
“I cut ties with them when Xinxin was born!” Cai Xiaolian said.
"Oh, I see. So that means Aunt Lian didn't know about this either," Lu Zheng nodded and said.
"You came here today just to talk about this?" Gu Shouxin asked.
Lu Zheng shook his head and smiled, "It's not just that. The main reason is that my great-uncle knows Master Qin. Master Qin wrote a letter to my great-uncle, saying that he left a token back then, but he didn't know whether the person he was looking for was his daughter or his son. He could only find the person based on the token. There were two people to find. Now the son has been found, but the daughter has not yet been found."
"Young Master Zhou, are you saying that Cai Dacheng is the son the family is looking for, and I am the daughter?" Cai Xiaolian asked with a smile, her face calm, without a trace of joy or excitement at being recognized as a relative by a wealthy man.
"That's not it. I'm just here to tell Second Uncle and Aunt Lian the news, nothing more," Lu Zheng said.
Lu Zheng recalled that a similar incident had occurred in his previous life. When Cai Xiaolian was reunited with her family, Gu Xin had already been sold, and Gu Shouxin had been abandoned by Cai Xiaolian. At that time, Cai Xiaolian only took Gu Nian with her.
However, their good days didn't last long. The mother and daughter were kicked out, and if Gu Nian hadn't bewitched Xue Er during that time, they would still be homeless.
It was precisely because they didn't end up homeless that they had the chance to meet Gu Xin, whom he had taken away, and then they couldn't shake him off, no matter where they went, from Jiangnan to the capital.
However, this search for people started a little earlier than in his previous life. He guessed it was because of him. He had returned to his childhood, and the three members of the Gu family were clearly different from before.
Although everything is different from his previous life, he prefers things to be this way.
He knew that family too; surviving there wouldn't be any easier than in his own home. He wasn't sure if Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian would be the same as they were in their previous lives.
However, it seems that they don't want to go at all, which is good. He won't worry about Xin'er ending up in that family anymore.
