The young couple from the farm fights back

Chapter 151 Aunt

The more Da thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She had naturally thought that Jiang might be of an extraordinary status, but when she saw Jiang's rough clothes, she immediately dismissed the idea.

I would rather believe that Jiang was just a young lady who worked for others in this magnificent mansion and gained face in front of the master.

Jiang Li thought about the children that Mrs. Cheng brought with her, so she asked Yuan Niang to go to the school to inform the two teachers to let the children go home early today.

Soon, three children of different ages walked towards the main hall.

At this moment, Mrs. Da's eyes widened. Why was Mrs. Jiang dressed so poorly? The materials worn by the children in her family were better than those worn by the nephews and nieces of officials in the capital.

As his thoughts turned, Da had to look Jiang Li straight in the eye. He hesitated for several times and seemed to be about to speak but stopped himself.

"Mother~"

"aunt."

Que Ge'er came closer with his two younger brothers and couldn't help but look at the strange guests in the hall.

Jiang Li held Lan Jie'er, who had just woken up, in her arms and said with a soft smile, "This is Madam Liang. Come on, meet the elders."

"Yes."

The three children all paid their respects to Mrs. Liang. This time, Jiang Li did not specifically ask the children to pay their respects to Mrs. Da.

From ancient times to the present, there has never been a rule for concubines to enter the living room. Jiang Li asked An Ge'er to pay her respects to her out of respect, and also for the sake of Lieutenant General Cheng and Liang.

But this person is really not worthy of being on the stage.

Ever since the brothers entered the front hall, Liang's smile never faded, and she kept praising the children for being sensible.

But when she saw Que Ge'er's appearance clearly, the smile on her face froze a little, and when she heard him call himself "Que Ge'er", her breathing suddenly stopped.

"Brother Que~?" Liang's voice was trembling, and there was disbelief and uncertainty in her tone.

Immediately, his eye sockets also turned slightly red.

Liang's abnormal behavior not only stunned Que Ge'er, but Jiang Li also probably came to his senses. He thought that Liang must have recognized Que Ge'er.

Da, who was being ignored, frowned again, curious about Liang's abnormal thoughts.

The more Liang looked at them, the more they resembled each other. She couldn't help but reach out and take Que'er's hand, her voice choking several times: "Que'er, but you?"

One of Que Ge'er's hands was clenched tightly, and he looked at Jiang Li with indifference and helplessness.

Seeing this, Jiang Li asked, "Madam Liang, do you recognize this child?"

Jiang Li's words undoubtedly hit the mark of Liang's suspicions. She looked at Jiang Li and asked excitedly, "Really? Is it really true?"

Jiang Li nodded silently.

Liang's tears could no longer be restrained and burst out: "Brother Que, I, I am your aunt. Do you still remember your aunt?"

Jiang Li: ...

Liang's words stunned the adults present and the children who listened sensibly.

Jiang Li thought that Liang had met Que Ge'er in the capital, and Deputy General Cheng was a general following the Xiao family, so the relationship between the two families must be close.

Unexpectedly, Liang and Que Ge'er had this kind of relationship.

But it was obvious that Que Ge'er didn't recognize her. The little guy pursed his lips and looked at Jiang Li again.

Seeing this, Liang wiped her tears with a handkerchief and pulled Cheng Jin over to her: "Que'er, have you forgotten? Jin'er is your cousin. You two played together since childhood. Have you forgotten too?"

My mother's words made Cheng Jin's little head buzz. He had no idea that he had a cousin who was his playmate.

Que Ge'er shook his head and responded in a low voice: "I, I don't remember."

When Liang heard this, tears welled up in her eyes again.

I thought to myself, yes!

It has been almost three years since my sister and her child had the accident. The child was only a little kid at the time, and it’s normal that he can’t remember anything after so long.

Thinking of this, Liang looked at Jiang Li anxiously: "I wonder if my lady knows that Que'er's mother is my sister. She, she——"

Jiang Li was silent after hearing this. She first glanced at Que Ge'er. Worried that the child would not be able to bear hearing about what happened in the past, she just shook her head slightly.

Ding~

Liang's heart, which had just been filled with hope, suddenly sank to the bottom.

How could Liang not have thought that her sister and child had been in trouble for many years and they had long lost hope.

It was only when she saw Que Ge'er again that she began to fantasize that her sister was still alive.

Seeing that Liang was unable to conceal her excitement, Jiang Li gestured to the children, "Brother Que, Brother Heng, take your brothers and sisters to play outside in the yard."

Jing Ge'er had been in class all day, and when he heard he could play, he jumped for joy and said, "Mom, can Jing Ge'er let Awu out to play?"

With so many strangers coming to his house, he wants to show off his good friends, woooo!

A while ago, Ao Wu had a stomachache, and Jiang Li ordered him to stay in the backyard to recuperate. During this time, Ao Wu was miserable and stayed alone in the backyard, not daring to go anywhere.

Jiang Li glared at her second son in annoyance. As a mother, how could she not know what her child was thinking?

"No, Aowu is not feeling well. Don't disturb his rest." He was mainly worried that Aowu would come out and scare the two little girls.

Jing Ge'er's excitement was just beginning, but I poured a basin of cold water on his head. He pouted in dissatisfaction: "Oh~"

Que Ge'er pulled his two youngest brothers over with a smile: "Let's go outside and don't bother the elders."

Seeing how sensible Que Ge'er was, Liang's eyes became red again, her heart tightened and she felt so painful that she couldn't breathe.

Looking at the groups of children running out of the house, Da silently withdrew her gaze and looked at Liang.

From Liang's words just now, Da also understood the clue.

Of course, she remembered that Liang's elder sister, Da Liang, had married Xiao Ce, the son of Prime Minister Xiao and the current leader of the rebel army. But she also remembered that Liang's short-lived elder sister and her nephew had been murdered by treacherous people three years ago.

Why, Daliang's child is still there, is Daliang still alive?

When Da thought of Daliang, her eccentric attitude couldn't help but subside a little.

Seeing that the children had all left, Liang wiped away the tears from her eyes and asked Jiang Li anxiously, "Excuse me, Madam, what happened to Que-er?"

She wanted to know why Que Ge'er was fostered in Changsheng Island, but as his aunt, she had not received any news about it before.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li handed Lan Jie'er to Fang Shi, who was waiting on the side. After a moment's pause, she said, "Que Ge'er is the child I brought back from the mountains three years ago."

When Liang heard this, she clutched the handkerchief tightly over her chest. She couldn't imagine what had happened to her sister and child.

"That morning, when I found them mother and son on the mountain, your sister..." Jiang Li paused when he said this. Seeing Liang's face was as red as a pear, he was afraid that she would be too sad.

"I was entrusted by your sister. This child is compatible with our family, so I kept him here."

Liang closed her tearful eyes sadly and paused for a long time. When she opened them again, she gratefully grasped Jiang Li's hand and stood up to bow: "I, Madam Liang, would like to thank Madam Li for not abandoning me back then."

Jiang Li quickly held her hand and said, "Don't be like this. When my husband and I adopted him, we never thought that one day he would find his family. It's all fate."

Liang was overwhelmed with emotion. Jiang Li helped her sit down and heard her say, "Back then, when my parents learned that my sister and child had died, I couldn't bear the shock and passed away soon after. If she knew that her most beloved grandson was still alive, she would definitely be relieved."

Jiang Li soothed him, "It's been so many years since the incident. The dead cannot be resurrected, so the living should take care of themselves."

Liang wiped the tears from her face, realizing she had lost her composure.

"Old Master Xiao recognized this child. Due to the current turmoil, he entrusted me to keep Que'er. When the rebel army gains power in the future, I will let Que'er and Master Xiao recognize each other as father and son."

Liang agreed. Now that everyone outside believed the Xiao family's only legitimate grandson was gone, she could no longer suppress her brother-in-law, Xiao Ce's, weakness. It would be much safer for Que'er to stay on Changsheng Island than to stay with their parents.

No one here knows Que Ge'er's background, and it can be seen that Lady Li protects the child very well, and Liang is extremely grateful.
