It was almost dawn. Xu Lian returned home with a gloomy face and knocked on the door of Wang Cuiyun's main house, "Get up!"
There was a rustling sound coming from inside.
Waited for a moment.
Li Xiya opened the door and looked at him with concerned eyes, "Lian'er, have you been guarding all night?"
Xu Lian didn't want her to know what happened last night, lest she worry. "It's almost dawn, you and Chan'er go to the kitchen to make breakfast. I have something to ask your mother, and we'll go over and have breakfast together later."
Although Li Xiya was curious, she did not ask any further questions. She took Yang Chaner away and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
She is such a good woman. Xu Lian is her man and the head of the family. She respects Xu Lian and obeys him. Such a woman is very suitable for living together.
Yang Chan'er is a different case. She has no opinions of her own and is obedient to everyone. Li Xiya, on the other hand, has her own opinions. She just obeys Xu Lian and may not listen to what other people say.
"What's so important so early in the morning?"
Wang Cuiyun was combing her hair in front of a bronze mirror, with sleepy eyes.
Xu Lian closed the door, walked up to her, and lowered his voice, "Let me ask you, is Sister Xiya your biological daughter?"
Wang Cuiyun was stunned for a moment, then she glared at Xu Lian in anger, "Xiya is of course my daughter, the good girl I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. What do you mean? You took my good daughter, but you don't want to support me in my old age and drive me away. No way! Xiya will not agree to it!
You are such a heartless little ungrateful bastard. Back then, you were injured by falling rocks in the mine and were lying on the bed. If it weren't for the food I gave you, you would have starved to death!"
"..." Xu Lian waited patiently for her to finish her scolding, "Who said they were going to drive you away?"
Wang Cuiyun asked suspiciously, "If you didn't want to drive me away, then why did you ask if Xiya was my daughter?"
Xu Lian said, "I'm just asking, why are you reacting so strongly? Don't worry, when Sister Xiya gives birth to my child, you will still have to take care of the child for us. If I don't squeeze out your surplus value... how can I chase you away?"

Wang Cuiyun smiled, "Okay, I'll take care of the children for you."
Seeing that she had let down her guard, Xu Lian asked, "Is Sister Xiya really your biological daughter?"
Wang Cuiyun rolled her eyes, "It's more real than real gold!"
Xu Lian found this very strange. The man last night addressed her respectfully as "Miss Xiya", but Wang Cuiyun was just an ordinary woman. How could the man address her as Wang Cuiyun's daughter in such a respectful way
Could it be that Li Jinshui was cheated on... Xu Lian thought of this possibility.
He couldn't help but look at Wang Cuiyun twice more. He didn't expect that Wang Cuiyun was so cool when she was young. "Sister Xiya shouldn't be Uncle Li Jinshui Li's biological daughter, right?"
Wang Cuiyun didn't feel any guilt at all.
She said nonchalantly, "I've had sex with at least eighty men. How would I know if it was that damned guy's child? That damned guy worked as a stone carrier in the mine and earned too little food. I was hungry, so I had to find some passing men to go in with and earn some food."
The corner of Xu Lian's mouth twitched, and he finally understood the context of the matter.
When Wang Cuiyun was young, in order to get enough food, she often asked men passing by to come in.
One morning, noon or afternoon, when Li Jinshui went to work in the mine, an important official from the imperial court came to Lvzhu Town for some unknown reason. He passed by the gate and saw that the young Wang Cuiyun was quite pretty, so he came in and had some fun with her. As a result, he was so attracted to her that Wang Cuiyun became pregnant.
The man last night was probably someone sent by an important figure from the imperial court to look for his relatives.
"Among the men you've been close to, are there any that left a particularly deep impression on you, or were particularly generous to you?"
Xu Lian knew without thinking that big shots would definitely be generous, so he asked this question.
Wang Cuiyun recalled, "There was indeed one person who was particularly generous and gave me a huge ingot of gold. I cut the ingot into small pieces, pinched them into tiny golden sesame seeds, and spent them slowly without telling that damned guy.
Every now and then I would buy a bunch of snacks from passing by. After having full meals for several years, I ate well and my breast milk supply improved. Xiya was raised so well by me, thanks to that ingot of gold.
To be precise, you should also thank that ingot of gold, otherwise how could Xiya be so beautiful. "
Li Jinshui is so miserable... Xu Lian didn't know what to say. If he blamed Wang Cuiyun, he couldn't blame her entirely. Life in this world was too difficult. Anyone who was dizzy and hungry every day would probably go crazy for food. It was just that Li Jinshui was unlucky. He missed after so many shots, while others hit with just one shot.
Xu Lian said, "The man who gave you a gold ingot is actually a big shot. I don't know what secret method he used to find out that Xiya is his daughter. The man who sneaked into our house the evening before yesterday was his subordinate who was sent by him to find his daughter."
Wang Cuiyun's eyes lit up. "Big shot? Looking for relatives? This is a great thing. How do you know this? Have you talked to that man? What kind of compensation is the big shot willing to give to our family?"
Compensation... Xu Lian couldn't help but admire her ability to climb up the ladder. "The man sent by the big shot said that Sister Xiya is a phoenix in the sky, and I am a beast on the ground, and I am not worthy of Sister Xiya. He asked me to be sensible and draw a clear line between myself and Sister Xiya."
Xu Lian decided to tease her a bit, and sighed, "I'm just a small mine manager, how can I fight against those big shots? I can only draw a clear line between us. After breakfast, you can take Sister Xiya back to the old house on the old street. There will only be Chan'er and I left in this house."
Wang Cuiyun became anxious when she heard this.
Living with Xu Lian, she ate the best food every day and didn't even have to donate blood for the night watchman. Such a good life allowed her damaged body to slowly recover, and she looked several years younger. She didn't want to go back to the precarious days of the past, and she didn't want to pin her hopes on some illusory big shot.
She started to curse, "What big shot? Bullshit! Xiya is my precious daughter who I carried for ten months and raised by me. The ten taels of gold he gave me was just my reward for serving him! It's his turn to judge whether you and Xiya are a good match. Besides, you and Xiya have been together for such a long time. If you work harder and make Xiya pregnant with your baby, I don't think he dares to say whether you are a good match or not!"
It suits my taste very well... Xu Lian was happy. Wang Cuiyun's words touched his heart. "Okay, I will work harder and wait for Sister Xiya to give birth to a baby for me. Even if Sister Xiya's biological father comes, he can't separate Sister Xiya and me."
In order to prevent Wang Cuiyun from being tempted and changing her mind, thus causing unnecessary trouble, Xu Lian brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wrote it down in black and white, and asked Wang Cuiyun to put her fingerprints on it.
Wang Cuiyun was a little dissatisfied, "Really, you still don't believe it."
I really don't believe it... Xu Lian said tactfully, "I think it's better to put it in writing as proof."
Wang Cuiyun had no choice but to press her fingerprints.
Xu Lian looked at it with satisfaction, took the document to the kitchen, and asked Li Xiya to put her fingerprints on it. He was 100% confident in Sister Xiya, but in order to avoid any disputes with Sister Xiya's biological father in the future, it would be better to get a marriage certificate.
"What's this."
Li Xiya was curious.
Xu Lian refused to show it to her and joked, "Do you dare to put your fingerprint on your indenture?"
Li Xiya rolled her eyes at him, and without even looking at the document, she pressed her fingerprints. It was obvious that she was not worried at all about being sold out by him.
The relationship between them has reached the point of absolute trust, and the favorability of 93/100 is real.
