“Yaoxing, you might not know this, but Youran did spend some time with Qingzhuo five years ago.”

Old Madam Lu spoke slowly.

“That year, Qingzhuo heard that there was someone in Rong city who could cure Qingliu. He rushed over from the imperial capital, but unfortunately, he was ambushed.”

He Yaobai and He Yaoxing could not help but listen attentively.

They had investigated the matter of Lu Qingzhuo coming to Rong City five years ago. Therefore, when they heard that Lu Qingzhuo suddenly had a son who was almost five years old, they were so easily convinced by that seemingly absurd rumor.

However…

Old Madam Lu glanced at them without batting an eyelid. When she saw that they were indeed wavering, she could not help but sneer in her heart.

If she wanted to deceive He Yaobai, she had to be at least 70% true.

He could do his best to investigate. Five years ago, Lu Qingzhuo did indeed come to Rong City and was indeed ambushed. As for the night when Lu Qingzhuo himself didn’t know what happened, she believed that even if the He family in the capital had the ability to reach the heavens, it would be very difficult to find out anything.

“My daughter-in-law, Youran…”

Old Madam Lu naturally changed the way she addressed her. Her words were full of affirmation for He Youran.

“She didn’t have a good life in her home. If you’ve investigated her, you should know that her mother died young and her father married a new wife. As the saying goes, having a stepmother gives birth to a stepfather. Her stepsister took a liking to Youran’s fiancé and worked with her stepmother to get her drunk. She found someone to insult her chastity. At that time, Qingzhuo happened to meet her and he saved Youran. Because of that filthy drug effect, he even had a night with Youran.”

“After that, our men found Qingzhuo and found something wrong with his body, so we took him away first. We planned to look for Youran after we confirmed that Qingzhuo was fine, but we didn’t expect that Youran would be sent to prison by her family and then go abroad. We lost track of her just like that.”

Old Madam Lu let out a long sigh.

“For the past five years, we have never given up on looking for Youran. Fortunately, our efforts didn’t go to waste. Youran accidentally saved me at the airport, so we were able to reconnect.”

It had to be said that old madam Lu’s words were flawless. No matter which stage of the investigation, there were traces to be found.

Whether it was real or fake, even He Yaobai could not tell in time.

He frowned and looked coldly at the sly old fox Lu Mingyou. Then, he looked at Lu Qingzhuo beside her, who had an expression that said, “Hey, my secret has been discovered by you guys.” He wished he could slam the table and stand up.

He forced down his emotions and his tone became stiff.

“Ha, if the person who said these words wasn’t Grandma Lu, I would have thought that it was some third-rate screenwriter who wrote a love story.” He Yaobai snorted coldly.

“Life is like a play, and drama is like life,” old madam Lu said. “Inspiration comes from life. Yaobai, what happens in reality is sometimes even more bizarre than a play!”

“I don’t know if I should say congratulations or regret about Qingzhuo’s encounter, but the engagement between the He and Lu families…” He Yaobai was still unwilling to give up and changed the topic again.

“Yaobai, although Yaoxing is not a child of the He family, I believe that all these years, you have given and doted on her as much as you did on your own children. Now, you know that Qingzhuo has a lover and a child. If you force Yaoxing to marry into our family, isn’t it obvious that you are making her suffer?” Old Madam Lu said.

“Yaoxing won’t –“

Just as He Yaobai was about to continue, old madam Lu interrupted him again.

“Yaobai, what I need to tell you is that it’s fine if we didn’t find Youran, but since we’ve found her, I won’t let the blood of the Lu family spill out, and I won’t let his mother suffer.. No matter what it takes, I must marry Youran to Qingzhuo!”
