Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 487 Recognition of relatives

Old Gu stared at Meng Xingu without blinking. Although he was shocked, he remained rational: "Child, what's your name? Where are your parents?"

"I..." Meng Xingui wanted to say something, but it felt like there was a wad of cotton stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Yunyi glanced at Yunlu.

Yunlu stepped forward and recounted Meng Xingu's experience: "As for whether he has a birthmark..." she said, glancing at Meng Xingu, "You tell me yourself."

Meng Xingui raised his hand and lifted up his clothes.

Yunlu's face stiffened; this person was far too unscrupulous.

Meng Xingui realized that his actions were too rash and hurriedly let go. However, Granny Gu grabbed the clothes and looked down at the other person's stomach, where there was a red circular birthmark. She couldn't help but hug the other person tightly.

"My precious baby!" the old woman cried.

Old Gu also wiped away tears: "He really is my precious treasure."

Yunyi pulled Yunlu away from the room, letting the family of three have a chat.

"Young Miss, this is wonderful," Yunlu exclaimed.

"Are you homesick too?"

"I have no home." Yunlu shook her head. She had been in the Dark Guard Camp since she could remember, and no one there knew her.

"Perhaps your parents had no choice back then, or something happened, but living well is a way of repaying them."

Yunyi said this quite frankly, but that wasn't what she really thought.

After all, Yunlu's appearance didn't reveal anything about her parents, or rather, this girl simply lacked parental affection, just like Sun Wukong in Journey to the West, who sprang from a stone and was born and raised by nature, and thus had no affinity with his parents.

Yunlu's situation can only mean that her parents had severed their ties with her a long time ago, and that she was probably sold by her parents on their own initiative.

Once the money and goods are exchanged, the cause and effect are severed.

Of course, it's not impossible to find her parents, but it would be too much trouble. There's no need to put in so much effort to find parents like that.

But she couldn't say that. If she did, how much pain would that girl feel?

“Yes.” Yunlu nodded. “That’s what I think too. What parent doesn’t love their child? Maybe they encountered some difficulties back then? Perhaps they’re no longer here…”

Yunyi patted her shoulder.

"I'm fine. I'm just a little emotional seeing that Meng Xingu was able to find his parents after all these years."

“Everyone has their own destiny.” Yunyi smiled. “Your destiny is yet to come.”

"Mm." Yunlu was also happy. "I believe Miss." Her greatest fortune was becoming Miss's maid. She had to thank Yunhong. If Yunhong hadn't appeared in the capital, she wouldn't have gotten this good job.

Soon, everyone in Chu Family Village knew that Meng Xingu was actually the son that Old Gu and his wife had been searching for for twenty years, and they all came to congratulate him.

The old couple, with their son in tow, solemnly kowtowed three times to Yunyi in front of the entire village.

Yunyi didn't stop them. After all, if they weren't allowed to express their respect, they would keep thinking about it. In the eyes of the ancients, kowtowing was the highest form of respect.

Meng Xingui also changed his name back to Gu Dabao.

Moreover, this is also a meritorious act of hers.

"Gu Dabao, do you still want to drive the carriage for me, or do you want to stay with your parents?"

Gu Dabao glanced at the old Gu couple and said, "Miss, you are our family's benefactor. Without you, we would not exist. As long as Miss doesn't mind, I am willing to give my life for you."

"Okay, then I'll give you two days off so you can spend some quality time with your parents."

"Thank you, Miss."

……

Yunyi held a short meeting with Lao Chu and the others to arrange the upcoming training tasks, and then had Yunlu drive back to the capital.

After all, the city gates are closed at night, and she has two children at home. If she doesn't go back, everyone will worry.

County Princess's Mansion.

Zhou Ni leaned back on the chaise lounge, while Ayou gently lifted her legs with a beauty hammer.

"How much force?"

"Sit down and let's talk."

Ayu put down the beauty hammer and sat down on the stool next to her: "Are you worried about that Yunyi?"

"Do you think she... recognized me or not?" Zhou Ni had been pondering this question ever since she returned from the Chen family.

After all, Yunyi's behavior left her confused.

“It’s hard to say,” Ayu shook his head. “But what I can confirm is that number sixteen didn’t come along.”

"That woman is too difficult to deal with." Zhou Ni took a deep breath, feeling a sense of frustration, like "Why did the heavens create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?"

“I will help you.” Ayou grasped Zhou Ni’s hand.

"I know, but..."

“Don’t worry.” Ayu interrupted the other person. “I’ve analyzed her behavior these past few days. She must have come here when she was being sold. The reason we couldn’t do anything about her these past few times is because she’s shameless and she has no feelings for the Fang family.”

"what do you mean……"

"Strike the snake at its vital point," Ayu laughed. "Wouldn't it be better to find what or who she cares about?"

"What or who does she care about?" Zhou Ni frowned and pondered for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up. "It's the person who's good to her...you mean that man?"

“Yes.” Ayu nodded. “Judging from these last few times, she is very grateful to the man named Xia Tianyin now.”

“Then arrange for someone to bring that man here.” A glint of light flashed in Zhou Ni’s eyes.

“Okay.” Ayu nodded. “I’ll use that medicine you just developed to test its effects.”

In her previous life, Zhou Ni was the daughter of a drug lord. She grew up surrounded by poppies and started running a drug business with her father when she was a teenager. Later, she became her father's right-hand woman, and people in the underworld would call her Sister Ni.

Her father had said that he would retire in two years, and then the entire Golden Triangle would be her domain.

Unfortunately, that bitch Yunyi ruined it all.

"Oh dear, you're bleeding!" Ayu suddenly exclaimed.

“The beginnings are useless.” Zhou Ni sighed, letting the other person treat her palm, which was pierced by her fingernails from the force she used.

“But changing people now…” Ayu applied the ointment, “will arouse suspicion, after all, he has already gained the Emperor’s trust. We can wait and see.”

"Ayu, thank goodness you're here, otherwise, what would I have done?"

"I was born for you."

Zhou Ni raised her hand to stroke Ayou's face, just as she was about to do something, someone outside reported that the Grand Tutor requested an audience.

"Let him in." Zhou Ni sat up straight.

Ayu then stood up and stood to the side.

"Greetings, County Princess." Tai Chu knelt down as soon as he entered the room.

"Why are you here at this time? Has something happened in the palace?"
