Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 2259: Chapter 2259: Both Sisters Are Pregnant

However, the portraits painted by ordinary painters don’t capture the essence like those by Meng Yunzheng.

Moreover, Ms. Wei had been kept in a small courtyard, and the wealthy merchant hadn’t seen her even once a year, so how could he remember what she looked like? As for the two old women ‘taking care’ of her, they barely looked at Ms. Wei properly, only noticing that she often kept her head down, her hair covering half her face.

On top of that, they committed an error for which Lord blamed them, and out of fear, their descriptions were vague. If the painter could depict Ms. Wei’s actual appearance based on their descriptions, it would be a miracle.

Zhao Xi really did see the portrait of Ms. Wei held by the butler, but compared to the one drawn by Meng Yunzheng, they couldn’t be called identical; they were unrelated. No wonder they couldn’t find her.

After listening, Meng Yunzheng nodded, “She was seen at the wharf, did Ms. Wei leave by boat?”

“From what I heard, it seems Ms. Wei took a boat to the south.”

Meng Yunzheng was taken aback, “To the south?”

Zhao Xi sighed, “It’s likely she boarded the wrong boat.”

For someone traveling by boat for the first time, a lack of understanding can easily lead to mistakes.

Moreover, Ms. Wei hastily scrambled at that time, terrified of being caught.

Zhao Xi didn’t even know whether she had money for the boat; the person who saw her said Ms. Wei seemed to be following a wealthy family and boarded behind them, dressed in servant attire.

Meng Yunzheng furrowed his brow; southbound covers a vast area, and it’s been over a year, not easy to track her down.

Zhao Xi said, “I have already asked someone to inquire. Once there’s news, we’ll be informed immediately.”

“Hmm, does Lele know about this?”

“Yes, having a lead provides hope.”

For now, they could only wait for news; after Zhao Xi finished speaking, he returned home.

Next day, the Lu family booked several tables at a restaurant, to welcome Yao Po and Uncle Meng, who had come from afar.

All the Lu family members came, and because Daniu returned, Madam Li also arrived.

Shu Yu paused upon seeing her, fleetingly recalling that since her return, she hadn’t seen Madam Li.

Over the past period, she had met the families of Third Uncle and Fourth Aunt, Eldest Uncle had also come to the county town, but Madam Li alone was absent.

Upon seeing her today, it seemed she had become much thinner.

Shu Yu secretly asked the old lady for clarification, and her expression upon hearing of Madam Li was indescribable.

“What else can be done? She wants to care for and manage both her daughters, but nothing in this world is perfect; how could it be so easy?”

Shu Yu grew even more confused by this explanation, “What do you mean? Are you referring to Sister Cuihua and Lanhua?”

“Yes, indeed.”

The old lady quietly told her, “Your Sister Cuihua and Lanhua are both pregnant now. Their dates are quite similar; it seems just a couple of days ago, they’ve both reached three months.”

The old lady hadn’t mentioned it before, wanting to wait until the pregnancies were stable, but now she couldn’t keep it in.

“You know, your Sister Cuihua has had only Yuanyuan all these years, he’s eight now, finally pregnant again. Of course, the whole family dotes on her.”

Shu Yu nodded; after Cuihua had Lai Yuan, she wanted more, wishing for another child when Lai Yuan turned three.

But for all these years, she hadn’t conceived.

Her first child was a son, so there was nothing her in-laws could say.

Later, idle gossip surfaced, and her in-laws pressured them several times. But a few years ago, Cuihua’s family of three moved to the county town, beyond their in-laws’ control.
