Mrs. Lu's actions scared Liu Wanyun.
She quickly asked the servants to leave, leaving only herself and Mrs. Lu in the room.
"Mrs. Lu, why are you doing this? Wanyun cannot bear your courtesy."
As she said this, she gave Mrs. Lu a big gift in return.
Mrs. Lu held her hand, and her eyes turned red before she said anything.
Liu Wanyun patted her hand gently to comfort her, waiting for her to speak.
"Zi Han's brother has told me everything. Zi Han is still alive. It's all my fault. I was only thinking about what I thought was good for her, and I didn't know that she actually faked her death and eloped for Guan Xiaochun."
It turned out that Mr. Lu couldn't bear to see his mother go to hell. He missed his daughter all the time and blamed himself for causing his daughter's life. Seeing his health deteriorating day by day, he found an opportunity to tell the truth. He found the robber and deliberately created the illusion, and let his sister and Guan Xiaochun escape.
Since he couldn't get Shen Ruyi, he hoped that his sister could get what she wanted.
"I know you have a good relationship with the Second Young Master's wife. You must all know about this. I'm not here to blame you. During this time, I've also figured it out. No matter how rich and powerful I am, I can't compare to having my daughter alive and well."
"I beg you, please help me call Zihan back. As long as she comes back, she can do whatever she wants... Since Miss Lu's identity can't be used, find her another one. I don't object to her relationship with Guan Xiaochun anymore!"
Mrs. Lu choked up as she said these words, and Liu Wanyun was deeply moved. Perhaps because she was also a mother, she now understood Mrs. Lu's feelings.
Most parents still feel sorry for their children, especially mothers, because the child is a piece of flesh and blood that fell from their bodies after ten months of pregnancy.
Liu Wanyun nodded, indicating that she was willing to help, but she had one request: she hoped that Mrs. Lu would set up a girls' school in Puning City.
Mrs. Lu naturally agreed.
It must be God's will. Just a while ago, when County Magistrate Lu was reporting to his superiors on the government affairs of Puning City, he reported that the opening of a music school in Puning City had solved the livelihood problems of many poor families.
The prefect praised County Magistrate Lu, encouraged him to keep up the good work, and expressed his intention to reward such merchants with a broad perspective.
The document commending the Shen family will be issued soon.
Therefore, Mrs. Lu felt that the girls' school proposed by Liu Wanyun was the icing on the cake, so she naturally agreed to it.
Half a year later, a foreign businessman came to Puning City and wanted to settle down here. In order to show his sincerity, he applied to the county government and was granted a piece of land in the west of the city to build a charity school to accept female students and teach them skills.
This incident also caused a sensation in Puning City. After all, this school was only for men. Although this school mainly taught women skills, it was also a first!
What is even more surprising is that the head of this merchant family is actually a woman, and the person following her like a bodyguard at all times is her husband!
The location of the Charity School was not far from the Shen family's Jinxiufang, so the female merchant naturally became friends with the three young ladies of the Shen family.
A few months later, the Shen family held a one-year-old birthday party for Miss Sun and Young Master Sun.
Because we had previously held a wedding banquet for the second young lady Ruyi and there was no hundred-day banquet, this time it was particularly lively.
County Magistrate Lu, Dianshi Xie, Du Zhubu, and other important officials of the county government, as well as prominent families in Puning City, all came to the mansion to offer their congratulations. Those who came to the banquet all carried large and small gifts, but the Shen family refused to accept them.
The wife of the eldest son of the Shen family said that the purpose of holding a one-year-old party for the child was just to ask for good luck. The fact that the three sisters-in-law could give birth to twins was already the greatest gift from God, so they would no longer accept gifts in the name of the children, for fear of ruining the children's blessings.
However, County Magistrate Lu still sent someone to deliver a plaque in the name of the government, with the four words "Good Business and Benevolent Style" written on it.
At the gate, the three brothers of the Shen family were busy hanging a plaque.
In the side hall, a group of women were teasing six children who looked similar.
Ruyi: "Sister-in-law, can you usually tell who is who?"
Du Ruoxuan: "Wanyun, which one is Xiaoduo?"
Ruonan: "Don't talk about you guys, I see it every day and I can't tell the difference!"
Madam Ma: "The three young ladies are so lucky! They are all twins. They suffer once, and then they get two babies..."
Mrs. Xie: "I'm just thinking, when they grow up, the six of them will go out together. What a shocking scene that will be!"
…
Liu, Guan and Zhang looked at their children with motherly affection and patiently answered the questions from the aunts and uncles.
As she was talking, Madam Shen came in, holding Shen Yao. This Yao sister was more than three months older than the six little ones and could already walk unsteadily. As soon as she entered the house, she struggled to get off the ground and staggered to one of the children. She poked it gently with her hand and muttered, "Ya! Ya!"
It made everyone burst into laughter.
Guan Xiaoyu was surprised, "Sister Yao, do you recognize my Daya?"
Liu Wanyun, standing by, didn't believe it and said with a smile, "Is it possible that she was using an interjection—ah?"
As she spoke, Chen Yao then poked the one next to her, "Ya! Ya!"
The one next to her happened to be Erya.
Liu Wanyun still didn't believe it, so she pointed at her son and asked Chen Yao, "Yaoyao, who is this?"
Chen Yao staggered over and poked again, "Awesome! Awesome!"
Liu Wanyun was really shocked now, and looked at Madam Shen in disbelief, "Aunt, is Sister Yao talking about a cow?"
Mrs. Shen smiled and nodded with pride.
She had no idea where her daughter got this look and discernment from. Ever since she had taught Chen Yao several times carefully who was who and what their names were, Chen Yao had memorized them and would hardly make a mistake.
Zhang Xinyue didn't quite believe it either, so she brought her son to Chen Yao and asked her, "Who is this?"
Chen Yao raised her finger and shook her head, saying, "Dog! Dog!"
Now everyone burst into laughter again.
Some laughed at the children's nicknames for being too ugly, while others praised Chen Yao for being so smart.
Du Ruoxuan laughed so hard that she covered her stomach and cried out "ouch yo", which scared Madam Ma and Madam Du so much that they came over.
"Daughter, please be careful..."
"Daughter-in-law, be careful with your belly, that belongs to my Ma family..."
Du Ruoxuan gave her a look and Mrs. Ma immediately shut up.
Soon, Mrs. Lin came to tell us that Mrs. Lu had arrived and the meal could begin.
Everyone went to the door to greet them, only to see Mrs. Lu coming in with a happy face, followed by the new merchants Lu Xiao and his wife.
Du Ruoxuan leaned close to Liu Wanyun's ear and whispered, "Where is this Lu Xiao from, and how did he become so close to the county magistrate's wife so quickly?"
Liu Wanyun looked at the faces of Lu Xiao and his wife, very satisfied with her masterpiece. She smiled meaningfully, "A rich man, upon arriving, established a school in Puning City. Who wouldn't like that?"
Although this makes sense, Du Ruoxuan always feels that there is more to Mrs. Lu’s look at Lu Xiao than meets the eye!
