Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After some thought, Su Binglan said, “I’ll send this portion of eight treasures porridge to Grandma and Grandpa. Third Brother, you send these to Aunt Ding and the others. As for Uncle Fengzhi’s…
Shen Qiuhua said, “I’ll send it.”
Su Binglan nodded and then carried her food box to her grandparents’ house.
Old Master Su, Old Madam Su, and Su Fengchen did not have time to eat dinner because of what had happened in Su Fengzhanz and Ding Wan’s house.
Zhizhi said, “Aunt, Uncle, why don’t I make some vegetable pancakes for you two
Old Madam Su had told everyone that Zhizhi was her distant relative, so she told Zhizhi to call her “aunt.” Old Madam Su said, “There’s no need to trouble yourself, Zhizhi. Just reheat the steamed buns and make some egg soup instead.”
Old Master Su and Old Madam Su did not have much appetite because they were worried about Ding Wan.
“At least eat a little, or your body might be unable to handle the hunger.” Zhizhi could feel how good Old Master Su and Old Madam Su were to her. During this time, she had wholly integrated herself into the family.
She also felt sorry for the two Su elders, even more so for Su Fengchen, as he was typically busy with his business. Zhizhi even helped him and would never feel tired.
Such a kind girl would naturally garner one’s pity, so the Su elders genuinely accepted her.
Su Fengchen said softly, “You’ve worked all day, so you should rest. I can cook.”
He also felt sorry for Zhizhi because she was always so considerate of him. When Su Binglan arrived, she saw her fourth uncle and Zhizhi preparing to cook at the stove. She called out to them, “Uncle Fengchen, Zhizhi.” When Su Fengchen saw his niece, he smiled. “Hello, Binglan. Come in, quick.”
Zhizhi noticed how wide Su Fengchen’s smile was and thought of how handsome he looked. She also smiled and walked forward. “Hello, niece.”
Su Binglan raised her eyebrows and looked into Zhizhi’s eyes. She thought Zhizhi might remember some of her past because Zhizhi’s eyes seemed wiser and more intelligent now, not as confused as before.
Su Binglan could see something in Zhizhi’s eyes. She said smilingly, “You can call me Binglan,” after a pause, she continued, “I brought eight treasures porridge for you guys. I made it myself. You should all try some.”
Old Madam Su saw her granddaughter and approached her. “You always bring us food. I feel bad.”
“Grandma, don’t say things like that. I’m your granddaughter, so it’s only natural that I’m dutiful to you.”
Old Madam Su held her granddaughter’s hand and entered the house. “The weather is getting colder every day. Your hands must be freezing. Here, put the blanket around you and warm yourself up.”
Indeed, it was colder at night. When Su Binglan entered the house, she handed the food box to her grandmother and placed her hands on the heated platform.
Old Madam Su looked at Su Binglan and said, “Binglan, why don’t you check on Zhizhi and see if her head injury has healed? We won’t know what to do if we don’t know what happened to her in the past.”
Old Madam Su liked Zhizhi. She had thought of Zhizhiz and Su Fengchen getting together when she saw how Zhizhi and her son were getting along.
However, the family needed to know about this lady’s past. If the family couldn’t figure out Zhizhi’s past, it would be difficult for the two to get together. This made Old Madam Su worried.
Su Binglan looked at Zhizhi and said, “Let me take your pulse.”
Zhizhi noticed Su Binglan’s gaze and lowered her head. After hesitating for a moment, she stretched her hand toward Su Binglan.
Su Binglan took her pulse and said, “You guys don’t have to worry about Zhizhi. She’s doing much better than before. As for her memories, they should be coming back to her slowly.”
Old Madam Su nodded. “It’s good that she’s fine.”
Even Su Fengchen heaved a sigh of relief.
Su Binglan could tell her uncle was concerned for Zhizhi. After talking for a while, she prepared to go home.
Zhizhi took the initiative to say, “I’ll send Binglan off.” Then she followed Su Binglan out to the courtyard.
Su Binglan stopped and turned to look at Zhizhi. “You should be able to remember your past, right?”
Zhizhi knew Su Binglan was bright, and nothing could hide anything from her. “I’m sorry, and I didn’t mean to hide it. If I tell them I remember everything, I don’t know what reason I can give them for them to let me stay.
“I like this place very much and want to stay, but I also don’t want to keep lying to them. Don’t worry. I-I won’t do anything to let you guys down,” Zhizhi spoke with a severe expression.
Su Binglan looked into Zhizhi’s eyes and said, “May I ask you a question?
Zhizhi nodded. “0-0f course, go ahead.”
“Is it because of my uncle that you don’t want to leave?
Zhizhi’s face immediately turned red as she knew the hidden meaning behind Su Binglan’s question. She lowered her head and tugged the hem of her clothes, nodding shyly. “Y-Yes.”
Her voice was meager and soft, but Su Binglan heard it.
Su Binglan asked, “Are you still involved with the people in your past?”
After some hesitation, Zhizhi said, “My mother arranged a marriage for me, but that man liked my younger sister more. Something happened with us later on, so I canceled the engagement and left. I-I’m no longer involved with them.
“They thought I was dead, so I wanted to start a new life. N-No one has ever treated me as well as your uncle does, so I want to stay. D-Don’t worry. I’m sincere with him. Also, my name is Miao Zhizhi.”
Miao Zhizhi knew she could not treat Su Binglan like a little girl, so she told her everything. She would answer Su Binglan honestly if Su Binglan asked her any questions.
Su Binglan smiled. “That’s enough information. You won’t have to worry about anything else as long as you’re sincere to my grandparents and uncle and no longer involved with your past.”
She knew what her grandparents were concerned about the most. They were worried about whether or not Miao Zhizhi was already engaged or married. Since she was not, nothing could stop her from being with Su Fengchen.
“Thank you.” Miao Zhizhi was touched. Perhaps it was because she had never felt such warmth, but now that the Su family had cared for her so much, she significantly cherished it.
Su Binglan looked at Su Fengchen, who was not far from the door. She knew her uncle should have heard their conversation, which was good.
It was time for Su Fengchen to get married, and Miao Zhizhi was suitable for him. After all, everyone has their past and stories.
When Su Binglan left, Miao Zhizhi stood there for a while before returning to the house. However, she saw Su Fengchen standing at the door, and her heart trembled as she nervously held her hands together.
She did not know if Su Fengchen had just heard what she and Su Binglan had talked about and was at a loss. Miao Zhizhi lowered her head and did not know how to explain herself.
‘I’ve lied to him. Will he be unhappy?’ Miao Zhizhi kept twisting the corners of her clothes nervously.
After a while, Su Fengchen slowly approached her.
Miao Zhizhi heard his footsteps and grew increasingly anxious. She felt her heart in her throat..
