Speaking of it, right now Lu Yuer is practically the Xiao family’s nanny.

After returning home, Yingying greeted the elders and then hid in her room, locking herself inside. When called to come out for lunch, her eyes were red like a rabbit’s.

"Yingying..." After lunch, Old Madam Zhou called the little girl over, "Why are you crying?"

"They bullied Grandma." The little girl’s mouth quivered, and tears started rolling down again.

Old Madam Zhou sighed, "Then what do you want Maternal great-grandmother to do?"

"Grandma said she’s already very grateful for what our family is doing now. She wants me to study well and become a promising child in the future..." Pausing, the little girl looked earnestly at Old Madam Zhou, "Grandma, when I become successful, can I live with Grandma?"

"Of course you can!" Old Madam Zhou promptly agreed, "Yingying is Grandma’s granddaughter, there’s no problem with her living with Grandma."

"Maternal great-grandmother, great-grandfather, grandpa... they won’t be mad at Yingying, will they?"

"Of course not, Yingying is so filial, why would we be mad at you?"

"Thank you, Maternal great-grandmother..." The little girl immediately cheered up, "In the future, I will not only be filial to Grandma, but also to Maternal great-grandmother, great-grandfather, grandpa, grandma, great uncle, great aunt, second uncle..."

Listening to the little girl list everyone in the family, the elders sitting around smiled knowingly. No matter what, keeping this child was truly the wisest decision, not because she promised to be filial, but because she truly is kind and filial, and never blames randomly...

When Chuxia and Zhou Huakang accompanied Yingying to the Xiao family, Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe went with Old Master Zhao and Old Lady Zhao to Zhao Qiyan’s house, and didn’t return until mid-afternoon. Chuxia hurriedly pulled Old Lady Zhao aside to ask about the situation.

"Look at you, so anxious..." Old Lady Zhao poked her forehead with amusement and said, "Your Sister Qiyan has finally gotten through it, and gets along well with her mother-in-law. They treat that child like a treasure, and Liu Zhenqiang treats Qiyan well too. Although they occasionally argue, overall, Liu Zhenqiang still yields to Qiyan.

The only bad part is her sister-in-law, whose attitude has never been great. But it’s settled—she’s engaged and will be married off by the end of the year, so it won’t be a problem then.

Ah..." Old Lady Zhao sighed, "Looking at Qiyan’s situation, having this day, your grandpa and I are content. This child has never been easy to manage since she was little. Now, we can finally have peace of mind."

"That’s good then. I couldn’t go with you. Did Sister Qiyan say anything?" Though not close with Zhao Qiyan, things weren’t as tense as before, so Chuxia asked.

"She did ask about you. We told her you had something today and couldn’t rearrange it, so we split up. When she heard, she only worried about your health and didn’t complain at all.

Summer, I’m not just speaking good for Qiyan; she’s truly different now. People, ah..." Old Lady Zhao sighed again, "I guess you really have to learn from your mistakes to gain wisdom. From childhood, despite nagging her so many times, nothing stuck. But after being wronged once, she understands everything, sees everything clearly."

"Anyway, that’s a good thing."

"Yes, it’s a good thing, but..." Old Lady Zhao paused, "but I think she still worries in her heart. You know, that child isn’t hers at all, and the doctor said she can’t have any more children.

To keep people from gossiping, the Liu family used this method. In fact, she’s worried the Liu family keeps her out of respect for the Zhou family, and in the long run, she’ll be resented for not being able to provide the Liu family with a real bloodline." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

After hesitating for a moment, Chuxia decided to tell Old Lady Zhao the truth: "Grandma, Sister Qiyan’s worry should be unnecessary. To be honest, I was also puzzled by the Liu family’s action and discussed it with Zhou Mikang. He discreetly investigated.

The truth is Liu Zhenqiang was hurt by Zhong Hongying, and can’t have children either. So, they used this method to cover things up. It’s more for himself than for Sister Qiyan."

"Summer, are you serious?" Old Lady Zhao was incredulous, "When did this happen?"

"Just recently. After finding out, I felt awkward bringing it up, and also..." Chuxia smiled awkwardly, "I also felt uncomfortable mentioning it without any particular reason."
