"Lin Wan, I'll talk to Xiaoyan about this tomorrow." Chen Ximei glared at Feng Jinghe.

Jiang Linwan nodded and went home with Xiuwan and Shuhe. When they passed Shimo Village, Jiang's mother saw from afar that her daughter was alright, and her worries were relieved.

"Where did you go? Why aren't you resting at home?"

Jiang Linwan asked, puzzled, "Mom, what's wrong? What happened?"

Jiang's mother said with red eyes, "I heard you were kidnapped yesterday. Luckily you didn't marry Lu Chengyu. That couple are no good."

Jiang Linwan smiled and said, "Mom, I'm fine, look, I'm perfectly alright." As she spoke, she spun around.

Jiang's mother was a little worried: "You're about to give birth, so I'm planning to move in with you today so it'll be easier to take care of you."

Jiang Linwan had wanted her mother to stay with her for a long time, but her mother always felt it was inappropriate.

Now that you've agreed, it's a good thing. She said excitedly, "Really? I've wanted you to stay with me for a long time, but you've always refused."

I thought you didn't care about me anymore.

Jiang's mother smiled and said, "How could that be? I'm just afraid that our family's status will affect you and Qiyue."

However, your grandfather said that the authorities have started to take our family's affairs seriously and are investigating. Our family has done nothing wrong, and we are not afraid of being investigated. It's good that things are cleared up so that we can go back home.

Jiang Linwan nodded: "We have nothing to fear if we are upright."

"Auntie, I miss my little brother. Are they coming out soon?" Jiang Xiuqing poked her belly and said.

Jiang Linwan smiled and said, "Don't you miss your little sister?"

Jiang Xiuqing tilted her head and looked at her stomach: "It doesn't seem like there's a little sister."

Jiang Linwan was taken aback, and her hand, which was touching her belly, paused slightly. She had heard people say before that children could see things that others couldn't, and it seemed that she really was carrying three boys.

She felt a little helpless. Brother Qiyue was probably going to be disappointed; he had three sons, but not a single daughter.

The group had just returned and hadn't even entered the residential compound when Lu Chengyu stopped them.

He looked at Jiang Linwan, suppressing his resentment, and pleaded with her: "Auntie, please save Shuyao."

How could she possibly conspire with human traffickers to kidnap you? We're family, after all.

"She was just deceived by her master..."

Jiang Linwan rarely heard him call her "little aunt" so respectfully, and she felt inexplicably pleased.

Seeing Lu Chengyu pleading so humbly, Jiang Linwan realized that his feelings for Sun Shuyao were actually real.

Since it's so real, why did they scheme against her in their marriage in her past life? Thinking of the suffering she endured in her past life, Jiang Linwan looked down at Lu Chengyu and said, "Then kneel down and beg me."

Seeing that no one was around, Lu Chengyu gritted his teeth and knelt down with a thud.

"Auntie, please, you must save Shuyao." If Shuyao is really captured and can't be released, what's the point of his rebirth? How can he get back to where he was before?

How can he show the old man that he's no worse than his uncle?

Jiang Linwan was surprised that he actually knelt down, then smiled and said, "If your wife is innocent, the organization will definitely release her."

After she finished speaking, she took Jiang's mother's arm and returned to the family compound.

Lu Chengyu was left looking embarrassed and angry, realizing he had been tricked. Jiang Linwan's back was now turned to him, and he cursed loudly: "Jiang Linwan, you bitch, what's so great about you? You're just jealous that Shuyao was able to marry me."

I'm telling you, whether it's my past life, this life, or the next, I will never marry you.

Jiang Linwan smiled sarcastically upon hearing this. She felt the same way; she would never marry Lu Chengyu.

Hearing the words behind her, Jiang's mother looked at her daughter in shock: "Is Lu Chengyu out of his mind?"

What do you mean by this life or the next life?

Jiang Linwan chuckled: "He's probably got something wrong with his head."

"Yeah, she talks in a weird way," Jiang Xiuwan added.

"He even wants to marry Sister Jiang. Doesn't he even know if he's good enough for her? My brother-in-law is much more handsome than him, and he's also very capable, commanding so many people..." Tian Shuhe's eyes lit up when she talked about Lu Qiyue.

"That's right, Uncle is the best," Jiang Xiuwan added.

Seeing the two of them praising her man so much, Jiang Linwan felt happy too: "When your brother-in-law (uncle) comes back and hears this, he'll be overjoyed."

But it's been over a month since he left, why hasn't he come back yet?

Does that mean she really won't come back until after she gives birth?

Jiang Linwan felt a little lost when she thought about having a child on her own.

But more than anything, I hope he comes back safely.

Jiang's mother noticed that her daughter was in a bad mood and asked, "Are you missing your son-in-law?"

Jiang Linwan nodded: "A little."

"He might be back in a few days, so don't worry too much. Your son-in-law is skilled and smart, he'll be fine," Jiang's mother comforted her.

Jiang Linwan nodded. She had given Qi Yue some medicine, all of which were for emergency use. Unless Qi Yue lost the medicine, he would be fine.

Jiang's mother followed Jiang Linwan into the courtyard and took the bags and packages to Xiuwan's room.

Aunt Liu was cooking dinner at home when she saw Jiang Linwan return. She finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Why did you take so long? I was just about to finish cooking and come find you."

"I ran into my mom on the way and we chatted for a while, then I packed my things and came back," Jiang Linwan said.

When Aunt Liu saw that Jiang's mother had also arrived, she was slightly taken aback: "Young lady, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? I'll cook another dish."

When Jiang's mother heard that she also wanted to go to the kitchen to help, Aunt Liu immediately stopped her: "You've come all this way, how can you come along to help? Go and rest properly."

"I'm staying here this time. It just so happens that Wanwan is about to give birth, so I can take care of her during her postpartum period," Jiang's mother said with a smile.

Aunt Liu paused abruptly, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes, but quickly said, "Then rest for now, it's your first day. I'll get everything ready right away."

Jiang's mother stopped arguing with her and went to the house to pack her things.

After watching her mother leave, Jiang Linwan noticed that Aunt Liu was acting strangely: "Aunt Liu, what's wrong?"

"Wanwan, is our house too small? Why don't I move out?" Aunt Liu said. She was an outsider occupying someone else's house, so she couldn't let Jiang Meizi share a room with her.

To put it bluntly, she's just a nanny, while Jiang Meizi is an intellectual and a wealthy young lady.

Jiang Linwan: "Aunt Liu, what are you saying? This is practically your second home, how can you move out?"

My mom shares a room with Xiuwan, and you share a room with Shuhe.

Aunt Liu's eyes reddened a little: "But you're about to give birth, and it'll be three children. There definitely won't be enough room then."

Jiang Linwan: "You don't need to worry about that. I'll ask Brother Qiyue to widen the house."

Besides, Xiuwan and my mom don't always live here, so don't worry too much.

"Once the three children are grown up, we'll apply for a bigger yard, so you definitely won't be homeless."

Aunt Liu then stopped crying and started to smile.

She looked up and saw Jiang Linwan's mother behind her, and immediately became a little reserved.
