Chapter 344 Gifting a Jade Pendant
Ye Mingzhu didn't bother to ask the reason and quickly comforted him.
"What's going on? Who bullied our little green bean? Tell me and I'll beat him up."
Green Bean said nothing, just shook his head.
Jiang Hongyu said, "Don't stand at the door, let's go in and talk."
As soon as they entered the yard, Jiang Hongyu said to Aunt Jiang, "Mom, take Yun'an and the others to eat first. I want to talk to Mingzhu about something."
This is such an urgent matter that we can't even wait for a meal.
Ye Yun'an looked at Jiang Hongyu hesitantly, and Jiang Hongyu nodded at him.
Aunt Jiang pulled over Green Bean, who had been leaning against Ye Mingzhu, and coaxed him to eat first.
After everyone left, Jiang Hongyu took Ye Mingzhu back to the backyard, and they both sat on chairs.
"Mingzhu, have you ever thought about why Ludou never mentions his family? At his age, he should remember his family."
"Ludou's family is here?" Ye Mingzhu reacted quickly.
"Yes." Jiang Hongyu nodded.
"Are they going to take the mung beans away?" Ye Mingzhu asked, only to realize that she had asked a stupid question.
"When will they take Green Bean away?" she asked in a different way.
"No one will take Green Bean away." Jiang Hongyu shook his head with an inexplicable expression on his face.
"They don't want mung beans anymore." Ye Mingzhu stood up, the expression on her face showing more anger than surprise.
"It's not that I don't want to leave." Jiang Hongyu quickly pulled her aside, "It's Luodou who refuses to leave. Luodou said that he lives very well here and doesn't want to go back."
"What?" Ye Mingzhu didn't expect the answer to be like this.
"Ludou's father has passed away. He only has his mother and grandfather at home. Ludou was very strictly controlled at home. Although he suffered a lot when he was abducted this time, it was a new experience for him. Most importantly, he wanted to stay and learn martial arts from Uncle Yan."
"Just to learn martial arts and not go home?" Ye Mingzhu really couldn't understand, but the anger in her heart faded away and she slowly sat down.
"There are some complicated things going on at Green Bean's home. The one who came this time is his aunt's cousin, and he doesn't want to go back with them. His cousin told him to stay here for a while."
Jiang Hongyu felt speechless when he thought of the cold and noble Lord Zheng. Although he liked mung beans, he still felt unhappy when someone forced them to eat them.
"Is Luodou's cousin Mr. Zheng?" Ye Mingzhu reacted quickly.
When Jiang Hongyu went out, he said he was going to see Yu Jiaming and Lord Zheng. When he came back, the expressions of the two children were not right. In addition, Luodou spoke with a Beijing accent, so it was easy to guess that Lord Zheng came to see Luodou.
Jiang Hongyu looked at Ye Mingzhu with admiration in his eyes: "Yes, Lord Zheng, he is Luodou's cousin. Luodou's grandfather is in poor health, and he has no other relatives at home. In addition, Lord Zheng has to go out for something, so I asked him to take care of it."
Ye Mingzhu didn't know what to say for a moment, and after a while she asked, "Ludou doesn't want to go back. Do his mother and grandfather agree?"
Jiang Hongyu had a bitter smile on his face. How could he agree? But Ludou didn't want to leave, and Lord Zheng indulged him, so there was nothing others could do.
"Master Zheng said he would explain."
Ye Mingzhu understood that this meant that Luodou's family did not agree.
"Why does Green Bean want to stay?" She was a little surprised. Normally, children want to go home, so why does Green Bean want to stay?
"I asked Luodou, but he didn't tell me. Lord Zheng wanted to take him away, and he kept crying. Lord Zheng agreed and wrote letters to his grandfather and mother." Jiang Hongyu didn't know the reason either.
"Do you want to know Green Bean's identity?" Jiang Hongyu suddenly asked.
"I don't want to know." Ye Mingzhu answered simply: "You don't have to tell me, I just treat him as a mung bean."
In the past, Ye Mingzhu treated Ludou as a little brother, and she will continue to treat him as a little brother in the future.
"I know Luodou's family is well-off, maybe he's the son of an official, but if he's willing to stay in our house, I'll treat him like my own brother," Ye Mingzhu promised.
Green Bean is such a lovely child, and the whole family likes him very much.
Jiang Hongyu didn't show it on his face, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart.
Being the legitimate grandson of Prince Jing’s Mansion, it was not something that could be explained by simply being from a wealthy family or being the son of an official.
However, it is better for Ye Mingzhu not to know, so that she can treat Green Bean with a normal heart.
While eating, Lu Dou looked at Ye Mingzhu and then at Jiang Hongyu from time to time. His chopsticks poked the rice in the bowl into pieces, but he didn't eat much.
"Don't just eat rice, Green Bean. Eat some meat." Ye Mingzhu picked up a chicken leg and put it in Green Bean's bowl.
Green Bean looked up, his eyes shining: "Sister?"
"Eat it. Children need to eat more to grow." Ye Mingzhu had a gentle smile on her face. She turned around, stared at Ye Yun'an with an accusing look, and handed him another chicken leg.
"This chicken leg is for Yun An."
Ye Yun'an lowered his head and gnawed on the chicken leg with satisfaction, and Lu Dou also quickly started eating.
Seeing that they got along well, Jiang Hongyu's worries subsided a lot.
After dinner, Lu Dou and Ye Yun'an stayed by Ye Mingzhu's side and didn't want to leave.
Old Hu came in to report that Yu Jiaming and Lord Zheng had arrived.
Green Bean stood up from the chair with a look of helplessness on his face. Ye Yun'an looked at Ye Mingzhu with a panicked expression.
"You two go down and play first. The adults have something to say." Ye Mingzhu coaxed the two children down with a few words, and then asked Lao Hu to bring the two in.
When Yu Jiaming and Lord Zheng came in, Ye Yun'an and Ludou had already hidden themselves, and only Jiang Hongyu and Ye Mingzhu were there to receive them.
Lord Zheng didn't seem surprised at all that there were only two of them, and his expression remained unchanged. However, Yu Jiaming looked around the room.
Ye Mingzhu asked Yunniang to serve tea to the guests. After a cup of tea, Zheng Daren explained his purpose.
He has already written a letter back to Beijing to seek the opinions of Luodou's grandfather and mother. Only if they have no objection can Luodou live here. If they have objections, he is afraid that he will take Luodou back.
Jiang Hongyu and Ye Mingzhu discussed this matter, and Jiang Hongyu nodded, indicating that he had no objection.
Lord Zheng winked at Yu Jiaming, who took out a thin box from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Hongyu.
"This is a thank you gift from Lord Zheng. Thank you for saving the young master."
Mr. Zheng took out a jade pendant from his body and handed it to Ye Mingzhu: "If you have any problems in the future, you can directly take this jade pendant to come to the capital to find me."
Yu Jiaming, who was handing over the box, was stunned. This was different from what was originally said.
Ye Mingzhu ignored their expressions and waved her hand to refuse: "I just saved Lu Dou, there's no need for such an expensive thank you gift."
She didn't know Lord Zheng's identity, but the jade pendant was crystal clear and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary item. It would be better for her not to accept it.
