"What's wrong, Aunty Luo?" Yang Mengchen looked towards Lady Luo and then followed her gaze to where Lady Hua and Sister Qi were standing a few steps away.

The Eight Brothers of the Yang family, who knew the inside story, were somewhat nervous. After all, the elders and the villagers didn't know the true identity of Hua Ziyu, nor did they recognize Lady Hua. Now that Lady Hua had suddenly arrived, how should they introduce her to the elders and the villagers?

Yang Mengchen's brows knitted slightly, nearly imperceptibly, as he smiled at Lady Luo, "Aunty Luo, this must be the aunt by marriage you often mention, right?"

"Yes, yes, this is my cousin, she just came to visit me so we came together," Lady Luo responded, taken aback for a moment, then she nodded.

"Nice to meet you, aunt by marriage." Yang Mengchen stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "Welcome to our home, aunt by marriage. Your presence truly graces our humble abode. Please, come inside."

Although they had taken precautions, Hua Ziyu was too eye-catching. Previously, several groups of people had secretly come to the village to snoop around, but luckily, Birdy had given a warning and the animals had provided protection scaring those people away before they could even enter the village.

The Yang family brothers quietly breathed a sigh of relief; their sister was truly quick-witted. With this, the villagers wouldn't have any more doubts.

The Yang family elders and the villagers assisting with the welcome suddenly understood and expressed their welcome as well.

Lady Hua's face showed a hint of embarrassment, but in the blink of an eye, she raised a kind and affectionate smile, reaching out to help Yang Mengchen up: "Mengmeng, no need for such formalities. This is just a small gift to congratulate your family on moving into the new home."

Understanding that Ms. Yang was not pleased with her arrival, and knowing that her own actions were indeed quite impolite, she still longed for Yuyu. Hearing from Ling Fei and Momo that Yuyu was no different from normal people now and was gradually recovering in health, she became even more eager to see him.

It just so happened that the Luo family was coming to add to the joy of the Yang family's housewarming, so she shamelessly followed them.

Sister Qi, holding two brocade boxes, respectfully handed them to Yang Mengchen.

"Thank you." Yang Mengchen accepted the brocade boxes and handed them over to Madam Yang Zhou: "Grandpa, you go look around with Grandpa Luo and Uncle Luo, while Grandma and I will take Grandma Luo to the inner courtyard."

Old Master Yang and his son nodded with smiles.

Yang Mengchen, with Lady Luo on one side and Madam Yang Zhou on the other, walked inside amid laughter and chatter.

Along the way, they saw many people busily at work in an orderly fashion; all greeted them politely, bringing joy and nostalgia to Old Lady Luo's heart.

Compared to the falsity and intrigue between people in The Capital, she preferred the amicable unity of the neighbors in Yangliu village, and, of course, she favored the well-behaved and filial Mengmeng. She remembered the envy and longing on the faces of her old sisters whenever she received gifts from Mengmeng, which was enough to keep her up at night with delight.

Upon reaching the garden and sighting Old Hai, a sharp gleam crossed Old Lady Luo's eyes before she greeted Old Hai and the six others.

The seven responded with smiling nods.

Seeing Lady Hua, Song Bochao and the other five were greatly surprised. Old Hai promptly signaled the six with a glance, and they did not make any commotion.

Xiao Hongtao's family came over to pay their respects to Old Lady Luo, who quickly pulled Lady Xiao to stop: "Good child, quickly stand up. You're with child; you can't be doing these bowing respects. Looks like you're about to give birth, aren't you?"

"Thank you for your concern, Aunty Luo." Lady Xiao stood up: "It's just over five months, but Big Brother Luo said I'm carrying twins, which is why my belly is a bit bigger."

"Twins, how wonderful! Twins are great!" Old Lady Luo nodded joyfully.

She really liked the knowledgeable and well-mannered Hongtao and Xin Lan, but unfortunately, Xin Lan did not have any male heirs before and thus had not been favored by Old Lady Xiao. Now, she could finally hold her head up high.

The others also congratulated Xiao Hongtao and his wife.

"Have you found a good midwife and nanny yet?" Old Lady Luo asked: twins are more likely to be born prematurely.
