After sending Pei Ziheng to kindergarten, Shen Mingzhu was about to go home. After she had taken a few steps, she heard Jiang Jing's voice calling from behind.

She stopped and looked back.

Jiang Jing hurriedly caught up with a bit of embarrassment on her face, "Ziheng's mother, let's go together. I have something to say to you."

Shen Mingzhu did not comment.

After looking around and seeing that everyone around was far away, Jiang Jing leaned close to Shen Mingzhu's ear and complained in a voice that only two of them could hear, "Ziheng's mother, it was really not me who spread the story between you and Pei Yang. I just mentioned it to Tao Mingming's mother that day. If I had known that she was a big mouth, I would definitely not have told her."

Shen Mingzhu turned her head to look at Jiang Jing and sneered in her heart.

She thought Jiang Jing came to apologize and wanted to give him a chance.

To be honest, she had a good impression of Jiang Jing before and had thought about developing a close relationship with her.

Ha~ Shen Mingzhu pinched her thigh secretly, her eyes turned red, and then, under Jiang Jing's puzzled gaze, she angrily chased after Wei Hong, Tao Mingming's mother, who was not far ahead.

"Mother Mingming, I didn't provoke you, why did you tell everyone about Pei Yang and I sleeping in separate beds?"

Wei Hong was chatting enthusiastically with a mother with whom she had a good relationship, when she was suddenly grabbed by Shen Mingzhu and questioned. She immediately got angry.

"Ziheng's mother, you have to provide evidence for what you say. When did I gossip about you?"

Shen Mingzhu pointed at the stunned Jiang Jing behind her, "Shi Ting's mother said it. She said she didn't tell anyone else about it, and only told you. Who else could it be if it wasn't you who told it?"

Jiang Jing never expected that Shen Mingzhu would not play by the rules and would rush to confront Wei Hong. She was stunned for a moment.

Wei Hong had a bad temper. When she heard Jiang Jing dragging her into this, she immediately rushed to Jiang Jing and argued with her.

"Jiang Jing, are you sick? You can't control your big mouth and you put the blame on others. You should have some shame!"

Jiang Jing's face flushed red, and she retorted: "I only told you about this matter..."

"Fuck you, when you told me about this the other day, your mother-in-law was there too, and you completely distanced yourself from the bad guys, so it seems that the bad guys are all other people..."

Soon, parents who had just sent their children home, as well as passers-by, surrounded the two people arguing and watched the fun.

Shen Mingzhu waved her sleeves and went home without taking a single cloud with her.

When I got home, Pei Yang was mopping the floor.

Seeing her come back, he took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them in front of her.

Shen Mingzhu changed her shoes, stared at Pei Yang's back as he mopped the floor for a while, and started talking about the quarrel she had with Shen Baolan in the morning.

After hearing this, Pei Yang replied without even raising his head, "I will go to Shu Huan's house tonight and talk to him about this matter and ask him to take care of his wife."

Shen Mingzhu walked in slippers, trying to walk on dry areas.

"Now everyone in the family compound knows that you are not capable, so don't you have anything to say?"

Pei Yang straightened up, propped up the mop and looked at her, smiling, "You'll know if I can do it if you try."

Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes at him, and two red clouds appeared on her cheeks, which made Pei Yang feel like a kitten was scratching his heart.

"That day, Fairy Ma said that you are still that thing, is it true?"

Originally, Shen Mingzhu thought that Ma Xiangu was deliberately brought in by Shen Baolan to annoy her, but today Shen Baolan suddenly talked about Pei Ziheng's life experience with a confident look, which made her suspect that what Ma Xiangu said might be true.

Seeing that she asked, Pei Yang did not hide anything. He sat down and told her about Pei Ziheng's life story.

It turns out that Pei Ziheng is not Pei Yang’s biological son.

It took Shen Mingzhu a long time to digest this fact.

When Pei Ziheng went to deliver the pension for the squad leader, the half-year-old Pei Ziheng was as thin as a cat. Pei Ziheng couldn't bear it, so he took him back.

"The squad leader saved my life. I helped him raise Ziheng and kept his bloodline going. This is how I repaid his kindness."

"Does Ziheng have no other relatives?"

"My grandparents are gone, and I only have my uncle. His own children can't even get enough food to eat, and he can't take care of Ziheng at all. It's the same with my maternal family, each one is poorer than the other."

They say they are poor, but how much can a baby eat? The fundamental reason is that they just don't want to take on this responsibility in vain.

"From now on, Ziheng is my biological son."

After hearing her words, Pei Yang smiled and said, "From the day I brought Ziheng home, I treated him as my own son. You are my daughter-in-law, so my son is of course your son as well."

Shen Mingzhu didn't say anything, but she was thinking in her heart, your son is your son, and my son is my son.

no the same.

Before, although she kept calling Pei Ziheng "Pei Ziheng", she mostly just regarded him as the villain in the book, and wanted to make him a good character so that he would not have the tragic ending like in the book.

But now, she has made up her mind to treat Pei Ziheng as her own child, take him under her wing, care for him with all her heart, and accompany him to grow up healthily.

These two are different.

The former was only out of mission and responsibility, while the latter was out of a genuine desire to care for Pei Ziheng, without expecting anything in return.

——

In the afternoon, after picking up Pei Ziheng from kindergarten, Shen Mingzhu took him into her room and talked to him in private.

"Ziheng, I have something very important to tell you. Before I tell you, I want to tell you that no matter what happens in the future, you are my son and I am your mother. I will always be by your side, understand?"

Pei Ziheng nodded, with little lights twinkling in his dark eyes, like stars blinking in the night sky.

Shen Mingzhu gently and slowly told Pei Ziheng the secret of her life.

She made this decision after careful consideration.

Although Pei Ziheng is only five years old, his mind is much more mature than other children of the same age.

Furthermore, with Shen Baolan being such a big mouth, Pei Ziheng's life experience will sooner or later be known to everyone. Rather than letting Pei Ziheng hear rumors about his life experience from outsiders and be affected psychologically, it is better for her to tell the story.

"Ziheng, your biological father is a very remarkable man, a martyr, and a great hero worthy of our admiration. Even your father Pei's life was saved by him. And your biological mother, she didn't intend to abandon you, but used her life in exchange for yours. She loves you very much."

"Dad Pei and I love you too. Although you don't have your biological parents anymore, you still have us. Other children only have one parent, but you have two fathers and two mothers. You are happier than them."

These excuses that Shen Mingzhu spent a whole day racking her brains to come up with were, in Pei Ziheng's opinion, just nonsense to fool children.

But he still listened very carefully, not missing a word.

He knew in his previous life that he was not Pei Yang's biological son.

He only cared about whether the woman in front of him would still treat him as well as before after knowing that he was not Pei's biological son.

"...Ziheng, let me tell you a secret. It's a secret that only the two of us know, and you can't tell anyone else."

"Um."

Pei Ziheng lowered his thick eyelashes to cover the strange light in his eyes.
