Ren Zhong sorted out everything that happened with He Yan, oh no, it was Zhao Ting, ever since he appeared. It seems, aside from capturing fugitives, everything revolved around Meng Yao. Moreover, the hostility he inadvertently showed, being Zhao Ting, it all makes sense now. "This is a good thing," Ren Zhong affirmed, "The Zhao Family in the Capital City, although not considered an aristocratic family, can still be counted as nouveau riche. Back then, Zhao Ting was highly regarded by the emperor. As for what happened later, I don’t know, but over the past two years, from the news from my family, there’s occasionally mention of Zhao Ting, and he is still a person the emperor trusts greatly." Meng Yao quietly listened to Ren Zhong sharing what he knew about Zhao Ting. The original memories about Zhao Ting were all after Zhao Ting first lost his memory. And what Ren Zhong mentioned was from before the memory loss. "In short, you take the children and return to the Zhao Family, this way, at least you need not worry about the likes of Li Tanyun," Ren Zhong affirmed. "The children, as long as they are willing, can return to the Zhao Family anytime," Meng Yao said. Fresh chapters posted on novｅlfire.net "You don’t want to?" Ren Zhong immediately caught the key point. "I thought the person was already dead," Meng Yao said, "Besides, he is now Zhao Ting with recovered memories, completely different from the person I remembered. I, a country woman, should know my place." "You have several children already, does he dare not acknowledge you? Tell me the truth, does Zhao Ting despise you?" Ren Zhong asked solemnly. "Not at all, it’s purely that I feel he is a stranger to me," Meng Yao said honestly. Of course he’s a stranger, let alone the core not being Zhao Ting, even if the core was Zhao Ting, he’d still be a stranger to her. Even to the original person, Zhao Ting with recovered memories would be a stranger, right? "Ah Yao, I now completely regard you as Zi’an’s aunt, listen to my advice, whether he’s a stranger or not doesn’t matter, these feelings, if you cultivate them, they will grow. You should think about the children! Dahe has prospects, but think about how many years it would take him to reach Zhao Ting’s level? And Xiao Hua, if you return to the Zhao Family, she would be a lady of the Zhao Family, her future marriage, I don’t need to elaborate, you can understand, right?" Ren Zhong said earnestly. "So, I haven’t stopped the children from recognizing him and returning to their roots," Meng Yao said. "You’ve taught the children well over the years, do you think they would heartlessly leave you behind? I dare say if you don’t go back, they won’t go back either," Ren Zhong said with certainty. Meng Yao also thought of this point. "So, it’s a bit troubling," Meng Yao sighed. "Listen to my advice, even if he has recovered his memory, he is still Zhao Ting," Ren Zhong said, "Don’t fixate on this point." Meng Yao sighed internally, but some things she couldn’t share with Ren Zhong. "I understand, brother-in-law, I’ll think about it more, anyway, he is still with the Heaven and Earth Sect now, the matter of recognition can be discussed later," Meng Yao redirected the topic to the Heaven and Earth Sect. As expected, Ren Zhong did not continue to persuade her but instead inquired about Zhao Ting’s situation with the Heaven and Earth Sect. Meng Yao told him about Zhao Ting’s situation, and Ren Zhong’s expression was very grave. "Those few people from the Heaven and Earth Sect must be strictly monitored," Meng Yao said. "Rest assured about this." If these people escaped, it would be a big problem, he was very clear about this. Therefore, the people guarding them were not from the Government Office but close confidants who grew up with him. The location of the detention was unknown even to arrest officer Xu. At the same time, he had people secretly investigate within the Government Office to ensure there were no members of the Heaven and Earth Sect. "I have already informed my grandfather about the Heaven and Earth Sect matters. My grandfather replied saying he will personally meet the emperor to report this," Ren Zhong said after a slight hesitation, candidly sharing his subsequent actions with Meng Yao. He felt fortunate for having told his grandfather. He Yan being Zhao Ting, he must be the emperor’s person. What was his real purpose of coming to Huaiyuan County, under the guise of a family reunion? "In short, regarding matters with Zhao Ting, I hope you seriously and prudently consider it. I know you’re not the kind to cling to power and wealth, but for the children’s sake," Ren Zhong said solemnly. Recognition was the best outcome for Meng Yao. Of course, he did not deny having personal motives. With Meng Yao recognizing Zhao Ting, in all likelihood, she would become the matriarch of the Zhao family in the future. Being friendly with Meng Yao, he could tell Meng Yao truly cared for Zi’an. In the future, the Zhao Family would become his ally. "I will consider brother-in-law’s words carefully," Meng Yao said. Ren Zhong hesitated for a moment before expressing his intentions, feeling that Meng Yao would surely understand his thoughts, so it was better to be candid. Sure enough, after speaking, Meng Yao didn’t get angry at all. "Rest assured, brother-in-law, I’m not brushing you off, I will certainly think it over carefully," Meng Yao said affirmatively. "If Zhao Ting bullies you, don’t hide it from me," Ren Zhong advised, "I still have the Marquis Mansion, both are your backing." Ren Zhong decided that when he returned, he would immediately write to his grandfather to inform him of Meng Yao’s existence. In the worst-case scenario, even if Meng Yao doesn’t return to the Zhao Family, having a good relationship with her benefits the Marquis Mansion more than it harms. A person skilled in medicine is someone all major families want to befriend. Moreover, Meng Yao was not only skilled in medicine. "Auntie, I’m done with my rounds," little Zi’an, with his short legs, ran back to the hall. "Are you hungry? Auntie will take you to eat," Meng Yao said. "I’ve been hungry for a while, if it weren’t for cousin Dahe telling me that father and aunt were talking about important matters, I would’ve come back long ago," Zi’an said coyly. "You clever little thing," Meng Yao tapped Zi’an on the nose. "It’s been so long since I had auntie’s cooking." "Well, today’s dinner wasn’t made by auntie either. Earlier, auntie was only halfway through cooking when your cousin Dahe told me you were coming, so I rushed over," Meng Yao said, "But the sister who cooked is very skilled, you’ll definitely like it." "It’s alright, there’s plenty of time," Zi’an said like a little adult, "Anyway, since I’m staying in Qingzhou Prefecture this time, there will definitely be many opportunities to eat auntie’s cooking." "Yes, yes, whenever you want to eat, auntie will cook for you often," Meng Yao said. Wen Shu and Yue Sihai had both met Ren Zhong, yet both were still very nervous. Ren Zhong seemed helpless, "The way you’re behaving, I can’t even enjoy my meal. I’m on leave these days, with only one identity, Dahe’s uncle-in-law. You are Dahe’s classmates, just call me uncle-in-law." "Yes, sir," Wen Shu and Yue Sihai responded in unison. "Let’s eat," Ren Zhong sighed. As for Su Ye, she remained calm, what’s the big deal with County Magistrate? Isn’t he also eating the meal she prepared? Moreover, the person himself said not to regard him as the County Magistrate!
