Their eyes met unintentionally, and they both knew that the other had noticed, but they said nothing and tacitly looked away.
Lu Ze temporarily put aside his suspicions about Mu Hehe and planned to secretly send someone to investigate her carefully.
Today, our country is surrounded by powerful enemies, and they have never given up their desire to destroy us. We must be especially careful of enemy spies and their underground activities.
Yu Yao, however, did not care.
As long as Mu Hehe doesn't do anything stupid in front of her, she doesn't want to pay attention to her. She'd rather spend her time thinking about how to improve her standard of living.
She used to be the type who gained weight even from drinking water, and she had to control her diet every time she ate. Even if she craved meat, she didn't dare to eat too much.
I finally managed to have a body that can eat whatever I want without gaining weight, but after so many days here, apart from eating a small piece of cured meat on the first day, I haven't even smelled any meaty smell since.
It's all tears when I talk about it, but the meat was so delicious, and the chicken legs were delicious too.
Seeing that she had cleared herself of suspicion, Mu Hehe bit her lip and looked at Lu Yunqi expectantly.
When Lu Yunqi looked over, she lowered her head shyly, adopting a hesitant and coy approach.
Yu Yao was quite amazed. Acting requires talent, and it's a pity that someone with such face-changing skills isn't performing Sichuan opera.
Looking at Mu Hehe's beautiful and gentle appearance, Lu Yunqi liked her very much and said, "Now that the truth is clear, Mu Zhiqing is the biological daughter of Uncle Yu and Aunt Sun. Grandpa, our marriage contract with the Yu family should also be fulfilled by Mu Zhiqing."
Han Fenglan and Yu Honglan got angry.
"I disagree!" A cooked duck can't fly away.
Yu Honglan rushed out excitedly, "Comrade Yunqi, this educated youth suddenly appeared. Who knows if she's an imposter? I am the real daughter of the Yu family. I am the one who should marry into the Lu family."
The position of Lu Yunqi's wife can only belong to her.
Lu Yunqi said with disdain, "We're not a good match. The engagement was arranged by Aunt Sun, so it should naturally belong to Mu Zhiqing."
Yu Honglan's eyes were red, and Han Fenglan also felt unwell.
What does Lu Yunqi mean by this?
Could it be that he has taken a liking to this educated youth?
Yu Yao is no good, and this educated youth who came out of nowhere is even worse.
On what grounds?
Yu Honglan glared at Mu Hehe with murderous intent. It was all that bitch's fault. She couldn't let Mu Hehe reap the rewards. With a howl, she rushed forward, grabbed Mu Hehe, and started hitting her.
"It's all your fault, you little slut! You seduced Comrade Yunqi! You shameless woman, you dared to steal my engagement! I'll tear you apart!"
"Ah!" Mu Hehe screamed after being hit and hid behind Lu Yunqi.
Lu Yunqi protected her, but he was also hit a few times by Yu Honglan, leaving marks on his face.
Seeing her son injured, Su Ya stepped forward to pull Yu Honglan away and pinched Yu Honglan several times in the chaos.
"If you dare hit my daughter, I'll fight you to the death!" Seeing Yu Honglan being hit, Han Fenglan was not to be outdone and rushed up to grab Su Ya's hair and pull.
A group of people were fighting and bumped into chairs and benches.
Yu Defu looked at the scene, clutching his chest, gasping for breath. "Stop! Stop hitting her! Mother-in-law, let's talk this out. Han Fenglan, are you crazy? Stop right now!"
The houses in the countryside weren't far apart. If the neighbors heard such a commotion, he, the first worker in Baihe Brigade, would lose all face.
The four women, blinded by rage, wouldn't listen to reason. When Yu Defu went to persuade them, he was hit a few times.
Yu Yao almost burst out laughing when she saw this.
Suddenly, she noticed a strong gaze; it was Lu Ze looking at her.
She quickly pretended to be nonchalant, constantly telling herself not to laugh and not to let Lu Ze know she was laughing at him.
Why is he still watching? What's so interesting about it?
Lu Yunqi was afraid that she would suffer internal injuries from holding it in, so he looked away.
Yu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and secretly glanced in Lu Ze's direction, immediately meeting his gaze.
This person is too perceptive.
Yu Yao quickly moved away and continued watching the show.
In just a few moments, the scene was in complete chaos.
Grandpa Lu didn't seem to intend to stop them; he seemed to want to see the true colors of these people.
Since the old man didn't say anything, Lu Ze naturally pretended not to see it.
Finally, seeing that they were becoming increasingly out of control, Old Master Lu slammed his hand on the table and roared, "Enough! Stop it! This marriage is not for you to fight over."
Startled, everyone calmed down and, seeing Old Master Lu's dark face, dared not even breathe loudly.
Lu Huiyun glanced at Mu Hehe, then at Su Ya and Lu Yunqi, her eyes filled with anger. "Listen to me clearly, the Lu family has never wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Yu family, nor with any of the Yu family's biological daughters."
"Regardless of whether she is the biological daughter of the Yu family, from beginning to end, the only person the Lu family is obligated to fulfill the marriage agreement with is Yu Yao."
Su Ya and Lu Yunqi's expressions changed. "Dad/Grandpa!"
Yu Honglan and Han Fenglan, their hair flying wildly, stared wide-eyed at the words. Why?
Mu Hehe's eyes were filled with tears, and she felt extremely wronged. "Grandpa Lu, why? The person who saved you was my mother, and the engagement was also arranged between my mother and you."
"Why don't you accept me? Why don't you like me? Is it because I was switched at birth? But it's not my fault! Waaah!"
In her past life, it was the same. When Old Master Lu came to visit Yu Yao, he discovered Lu Yunqi's affair with her and flew into a rage, wanting to sever ties with Lu Yunqi and kick him out of the Lu family.
She and Yunqi knelt down and begged him to grant them their wish for the sake of her child.
But he remained resolute and indifferent throughout, and he didn't even bother to look at her.
It was as if she were some filthy thing, a bedbug, and that giving her his eyes would only taint them.
She didn't understand. She was beautiful, generous, well-educated, and cultured. Yu Yao, on the other hand, was just a woman with only a junior high school education and no femininity whatsoever.
In what way is she inferior to Yu Yao?
If the old man hadn't fainted from anger and passed away soon after, she and Yunqi, this loving couple, would have been separated.
Lu Yunqi felt sorry for her: "Mu Zhiqing, don't be sad. Grandpa just can't accept it for the time being."
Yu Yao shook her head. It seemed that even though they had both been reborn, Mu Hehe hadn't made much progress.
The innocent and naive act only works on men like Lu Yunqi who lack experience; it's too naive to fool Old Master Lu.
It will only incur Old Master Lu's disgust.
“Lu Yunqi, you don’t need to make excuses for me. Mu Zhiqing, you don’t need to play the victim, I’m not buying it.”
He joined the army at the age of thirteen, served as a member of the Eighth Route Army, fought against the Japanese, and went to the battlefield. He survived through gunfire and bullets, so how could he be fooled by Mu Hehe's low-level tricks?
He glanced coldly at Mu Hehe and Lu Yunqi, "Back then, I was seriously injured and fell into a coma during a mission. It was Yu Yatou who found me and fed me water little by little with leaves, which saved me from dehydration and shock. In order to protect Yu Yatou, Comrade Sun and I agreed to tell everyone that she was the one who saved me, but in fact, the one who really saved me was Yu Yatou."
Mu Hehe's face turned pale. "Impossible! I don't believe it!"
