Zhulan listened to Lady Li's explanation, realizing it was Ran Wan who noticed the matter first. Lady Li had kept it in mind after hearing, indicating that as a mother-in-law, she was genuinely considerate of her daughter-in-law.
Lady Li said, "Mother, I was a bit worried about Lau Jia. Now it's resolved, and I don't need to think about it anymore."
"Hmm, keep this matter under wraps for now. Wait until it's confirmed before telling the old man."
The old man had been waiting for this child for quite some time. Though he understood Ming Teng was busy, he would still bring up the matter of children with Zhou Shuren. If Ming Teng weren't from the Zhou family, the old man might have considered taking a concubine for Ming Teng. Fortunately, Zhou Shuren managed to extinguish that idea before it materialized.
In Zhangzhou Province, Lau Jia dared not follow along, regretting that she couldn't teach the village girls to read and write.
