Since it was still early, Jiang Yao followed her parents to the county town. She went to the largest Chinese medicine shop in the county town to buy the Chinese medicine that Jiang Yao wanted before going to Second Uncle Lu's house.
Usually, Second Uncle Lu did not have time to stay at home at this time. He was either in the office or on the way to socialize. However, today was different. He had specially called his eldest brother and sister-in-law to come over for dinner, so when he found out that Father and Mother Lu had brought Jiang Yao to the county, he rushed home from the office first.
Jiang Yao followed Father and Mother Lu into the house and found that there were two unfamiliar people in the house. They were dressed like the chef and assistant from a big restaurant.
"Eldest Brother, Sister-in-law, you're here?" Second Uncle Lu smiled when he saw the people who came in, then looked at Jiang Yao.
"Second Uncle." As a junior, Jiang Yao naturally took the initiative to greet him.
"Hey, I knew you were back a few days ago, but I've been busy recently and couldn't find time to visit you. I heard that you're not feeling well and came back to recuperate. What's going on?" Second Uncle Lu was really busy these few days. He only came back from a business trip yesterday, so he did not have time to ask about Jiang Yao.
He only heard that Jiang Yao had returned home to recuperate. When he called Father Lu this morning, Second Uncle Lu thought that he would be able to see her in the afternoon, so he did not ask much over the phone.
"It's nothing big. I'll talk to you in your study later." There were still outsiders and Second Uncle Lu's housekeeper, so Father Lu did not say anything in front of outsiders about Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi being injured on a mission. However, the expression on his face could not hide the slightest bit of happiness.
Seeing this, Second Uncle Lu knew that most of the things he heard in the county were false.
In the day that Second Uncle Lu returned to the county, he heard a lot of rumors about the reason Jiang Yao came back to recuperate. Some said that Jiang Yao had an affair and was beaten up by her husband, Lu Xingzhi, who was a soldier, so badly that she could not get out of bed and was sent back to recuperate. In the future, the Lu family would definitely not let Jiang Yao go to college.
It was impossible for Second Uncle Lu to believe this rumor. How could he not know his nephew's personality? Even if the sun rose from the west, Lu Xingzhi would never lay a hand on Jiang Yao. That brat looked cold, but he had inherited the temperament of protecting his family and wife from the men of the Lu Family.
There was another rumor that Second Uncle Lu believed more.
It was said that Jiang Yao had accidentally miscarried, so Lu Xingzhi hurriedly sent her back home to recuperate.
There were also many people in town who said that they saw Mother Lu buying fish and meat home every day for her daughter-in-law to nourish her body. Those things were not cheap, and a typical daughter-in-law might not be able to eat them even if she was in confinement.
Second Uncle Lu felt that it was more reasonable for the couple to accidentally have a child because of their good relationship. However, because the couple was young and Jiang Yao had recently gone to the countryside where the conditions were not very good, she might have accidentally miscarried and suddenly returned to her hometown to recuperate.
After all, the young couple had been together for the entire New Year. It was completely normal for the young couple to accidentally get pregnant.
Second Uncle Lu originally believed this, so he prepared a lot of tonics for Jiang Yao. However, now that he saw his eldest brother's happy face, Second Uncle Lu knew that even this rumor was false.
