Chapter 99: Don’t Go Weak at the Knees

Qian Jiyun replied directly, “No.”

He was never interested in prying into others’ personal lives. Besides, he thought that it was clear that An Jiuyue wanted to keep her identity hidden since she was living in seclusion on the mountain. Why would he pry?

Qian Yiyun was speechless.

Big Brother, can you not be so boring? She’s your precious wife. Don’t you want to know? Don’t regret it when the time comes!

“Alright, let’s not talk about Sister Jiuyue’s past. Then do you want to know Zheng’er and Rong’er’s full names? That should be fine with you, right? I’ll tell you about it!”

“What are their names?”

Qian Jiyun was honestly a little curious as to why An Jiuyue was raising those two children.

They were clearly not her biological sons. However, he saw that she had treated them very well.

“Ahem, listen up, Big Brother. Don’t go weak at the knees!”

Qian Yiyun coughed lightly before she revealed, “Zheng’er’s name is Qian Yizheng, while Rong’er’s name is Qian Yirong.”

“What did you say?!” Qian Jiyun exclaimed, almost shocked stiff.

“Those two boys call me auntie every day, Big Brother. I didn’t think I’d really be their aunt.” Not their biological aunt though.

She did not mention that last part. Her sister-in-law’s sons were her nephews regardless!

“What… is Miss An’s original name?” Qian Jiyun asked, enunciating every word in his question.

Qian Yiyun explained, “I’ve been asking around discreetly. Sister Jiuyue came here four years ago with two children and has lived here ever since. Everyone in the village calls her An Jiuyue. They say she is Old Tu’s daughter, but he had never met her earlier because she was taken away by his ex-wife.”

“But that’s not true. I found Sister Jiuyue very familiar and kind. I wanted to get closer, but I couldn’t remember where I had seen her.

“I realized that she looks like my sister-in-law after I discovered Zheng’er and Rong’er’s names!”

“Back when we were living together, Sister Jiuyue had on makeup, wore gorgeous clothes, and was quiet and demure. Now, she is dressed simply and is surrounded by wild beasts in the forest every day, so she feels different.”

A person could change drastically when their aura changes. Moreover, four years had passed, and she had grown. Change should be expected.

That explained why Qian Yiyun could not recognize An Jiuyue at first.

Her words made Qian Jiyun recall how An Jiuyue had reacted when she heard his name when they were together in the forest.

He did not think much about it because he assumed she was worried about the livelihoods of all the villagers affected by the flood.

In other words, she already knew about their relationship back then. However, she chose to hide it and pretended not to know him.

“What about the two children?”

“They are so lucky,” Qian Yiyun replied.

“When Sister Jiuyue was chased out of the house, she probably didn’t know where to go and wandered around outside the back door. She probably saw that old woman send people to abandon the two children in the deep mountains.

“Sister Jiuyue must have followed them secretly and rescued the children.”

This was a combination of information she discretely inquired from An Jiuyue and her own guesses.
