Looking at Lu Qing's receding back, Duke Weiguo and his wife fell into deep thought.
Duke Weiguo frowned and said thoughtfully, "Madam, I think we should ask the county magistrate of Ruiyun about the adoption. After all, this concerns the future of our family, so we can't act rashly."
Old Madam Li nodded, indicating that she agreed with the Duke's opinion.
She thought for a while and said, "How about we go after lunch? It's better to do it sooner rather than later."
Recognizing Heng'er would immediately involve the placement of Zhao Qingyun, and these two things had to be done at the same time.
Duke Weiguo thought this was a good suggestion, so the two decided to go to Ruiyun County after lunch.
At the same time, they also agreed to pick up Heng'er from school together in the evening.
After noon, after the Duke of Wei and his wife had their meal, they took a carriage to the Qian Mansion.
At this time, Qian Chunhua was organizing her experimental plan in the study. After hearing the report from the security guard, she hurriedly put down the work at hand and went out to greet him.
"Chunhua, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, we might never find our grandson..." As soon as Mrs. Li saw Qian Chunhua, she immediately became excited and her voice choked.
Duke Weiguo also nodded repeatedly to express his gratitude.
He signaled to the servant beside him to move the carriage full of gifts to the door, and then handed it to Li, the steward of the Qian Mansion.
These gifts were carefully selected by the Duke and Duchess of Weiguo, and included some precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and jewelry.
They hope to convey their deep respect and gratitude to Ruiyun County through these gifts.
Ruiyun County not only helped them find their grandson, but also saved Heng'er's life last year. They even adopted the child and sent him to school without knowing Heng'er's identity.
They have no way to repay such great kindness.
In front of the hall, Duke Weiguo and his wife were very excited. After thanking Qian Chunhua repeatedly, they finally asked about Zhao Qingyun's family situation.
Qian Chunhua understood clearly and knew why they came this time.
However, she had no intention of hiding anything, and immediately told the Duke of Weiguo and his wife everything she had learned since traveling through time, about the Zhao family's affairs concerning Zhao Qingyun.
Now that they have found the real Lu Wu, it is natural for them to decide whether the fake Zhao Qingyun should stay or go.
After Qian Chunhua finished her story, Old Madam Li couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice: "Oh my God! Zhao Qingyun's parents actually...actually did such a thing..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly seemed unable to continue. She turned her head to look at the Duke of Weiguo beside her, her eyes full of complexity.
Mrs. Li has lived in extremely privileged conditions since childhood and has a harmonious and happy family environment.
She simply could not imagine that in a remote rural area, there would be people who would exchange their own flesh and blood with their brother's child in order to compete for limited resources.
After his younger brother left home, he ruthlessly took his own son back to his side.
As for what Qian Chunhua said about the eldest wife abusing the child, after all, Old Lady Li did not witness with her own eyes the treatment Qingsong suffered at the time, and she simply thought that he was just being beaten and punished.
After all, in rural areas, it is common for children to be beaten.
However, what she heard had completely overturned her perception.
Such an absurd and bizarre thing should have only appeared in opera scripts, but unexpectedly it actually happened in her husband's family in Ruiyun County.
Duke Weiguo said nothing, but his thoughts drifted further away.
Madam Li asked again to confirm: "Chunhua, were Qingyun's parents really killed by bandits?"
Qian Chunhua nodded. All the villagers in Huanghualing knew about this and there was no need to hide it.
