Lu Yuan was unaware that someone was plotting against him, and even if he did, he wouldn't care. After all, his spatial ability had reached level 5, and his time-manipulation ability had improved to level 3, meaning his teleportation distance was definitely much greater than before. Even if someone tried to harm him, if he couldn't win, he could run away; if he couldn't escape, he could hide in his spatial dimension.
He led Qian Duoduo into Yuquan Mountain, into the Lu family's courtyard. Old Mrs. Lu and Wen Ya happened to be home. When they saw Qian Duoduo and Lu Yuan come in, they were all smiling. Wen Ya immediately stepped forward and pulled Qian Duoduo, saying, "Duoduo, it's been a while since you've been here."
Lu Yuan watched as his mother, holding his girlfriend's hand, went into the house, not even glancing at him, the son carrying the things. He smiled; it was good that his mother valued Duo Duo in this family, and that there were no conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. He walked into the living room and saw Qian Duo Duo sitting between his mother and grandmother, one of their little hands in each of theirs, being greeted with concern.
He put the things on the coffee table and said, "This is a gift that Duoduo bought for me."
Grandma Lu smiled and said, "Duoduo, it's enough that you're here. Why did you have to buy anything? It's such a waste of money."
Wenya smiled and said, "If anyone should be giving something, it should be us giving it to you, not you giving it to us."
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "I haven't seen my aunt and grandma for quite a while. There's a shopping mall near Wangfujing that has some clothes I designed..."
Upon hearing this, Wen Ya interrupted Qian Duoduo before he could finish speaking, saying, "I've heard about it. The clothes at Wanmao Clothing Store are especially stylish. Look at this one I'm wearing; I bought it from Wanmao."
Qian Duoduo glanced at it, then looked up at Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan chuckled, took out a piece of clothing from one of the bags; it was identical in style except for the color. He sat down next to Wen Ya, put his hand on her shoulder, and held the newly bought clothing in his other hand, smiling as he said to Wen Ya, "Mom, look, I've noticed that you two are really compatible; you both have the same good taste."
Upon hearing this, Wenya laughed and patted Lu Yuan, playfully scolding, "Duoduo has the eye of a fashion designer; I'm just following my daughter-in-law's eye."
As soon as Wenya finished speaking, Qian Duoduo reached out and took out another bag, saying to Grandma Lu, "Grandma, this is for you." After saying that, she handed the bag to Grandma Lu.
Grandma Lu took the bag, opened it, and took out the clothes inside. She said with a smile, "Oh my, this dress is really beautiful, especially the longevity pattern on it, which is obviously auspicious." As she spoke, she carefully looked at the dress, her face full of joy.
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Of course, I hope you have many more happy returns of the day."
Grandma Lu laughed and said, "I'm already over 70 or almost 80 years old. If I still wished for this day every year, I'd be an old monster."
As Lu Yuan folded the clothes in his hand and put them into the bag, he said, "Grandma, you see how busy Duo Duo and I are. Please take good care of yourself so that you can help us take care of our children when we have them in the future."
Grandma Lu especially loved hearing such words. She patted Qian Duoduo's hand with a smile and said, "Now that Yuanzi has said that, I suddenly realize that I really should take good care of myself and protect my health. Otherwise, I won't be able to carry my great-grandson in the future."
Everyone chatted as they went. Wenya stood up and called out to the kitchen, "Sister Qin, go to the market and buy a big carp, and then buy a live chicken to slaughter. Also, soak some of the hazel mushrooms that Duoduo's mom gave us. Tonight we're having Northeastern cuisine."
Aunt Qin came out of the kitchen, immediately agreed, took off her apron, picked up her shopping basket, and left.
Watching Aunt Qin's departing figure, Lu Yuan suddenly thought of the nanny at Lu Yijian's house and asked, "Mom, was Aunt Qin's background checked?"
Wenya nodded and said, "Of course. Why did you suddenly ask that?"
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yuan recounted what had happened that day. Upon hearing this, Old Madam Lu immediately stood up, looked at Lu Yuan, and asked, "Why haven't we heard the eldest son mention anything like this before?"
Lu Yuan walked to his grandmother's side, put his hands on her shoulders, and said slowly, "Regarding what happened this afternoon, I guess Uncle hasn't figured out how to say it yet."
Just then, the sound of a car engine came from outside the door. Everyone looked towards the doorway and saw Lu Lang walking at the front with a sullen face. His pace was unusually fast for someone who was almost eighty years old. Behind him were the brothers Lu Yijian and Lu Yiheng, whose faces were also very bad.
Seeing them come in, Grandma Lu immediately went to greet them and asked Lu Yijian, "Eldest son, Yuanzi said something happened to your family?"
Lu Lang glanced at the kitchen, and Wen Ya immediately said, "Aunt Qin isn't here; she went to buy groceries."
Lu Lang nodded and said, "This is a big deal. Let's discuss it first."
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Lu could only nod. She watched as Lu Lang led his two sons and then called Lu Yuan into the study.
After everyone was seated, Lu Lang coughed lightly and gestured for them to quiet down. Then he turned to Lu Yuan and said, "Yuanzi, tell everyone what you know in detail."
Lu Yuan nodded, took out seven or eight photos from his pocket. These were photos he had taken earlier, clearly showing Aunt Liu trying to eavesdrop on their conversation at the study door. He walked to Lu Lang's desk, neatly arranged the photos on the table, and then returned to his armchair and sat down. He leaned back casually and said in a flat tone, "Uncle has probably already explained what happened. According to this nanny, she was arranged to work at Uncle's house by a person named Tian Na." After speaking, his gaze turned to Lu Yijian, who had remained silent.
Lu Yijian's face was stern, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "I have already gone to the municipal government's logistics department to investigate, but I haven't found anyone named Tian Na." Upon hearing this news, the mood of the people in the room immediately became heavy.
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yuan said, "Could this Tian Na be an alias? Perhaps we should broaden our search scope and not limit ourselves to government departments."
Lu Yiheng glanced at his son approvingly and nodded in agreement, saying, "We've also considered that, but so far, apart from the clue provided by Aunt Liu, we haven't found any other valuable leads."
Lu Yijian glanced at Lu Yuan again and said, "We went to listen in on Aunt Liu's interrogation. It turned out that Aunt Liu was talking nonsense and spouting rubbish. She didn't tell the truth at all when she was first arrested."
