Ye Zhen had a headache from all these family matters.
Faced with these unfamiliar relatives, Ye Zhen didn't respond too much and just nodded casually. Fortunately, not long after, Father Ye came to ask her to cut the cake with Lu Beichuan.
Mother Ye held Ye Qing's hand and whispered to her in the crowd, "How is it?"
Being forced to apologize to Ye Zhen was the result of Mother Ye's persuasion for several days.
Mother Ye knew that she was stubborn, so she had to persuade her in every possible way to get her to agree. Although she felt wronged, it was still better than having a grudge with Ye Zhen in the future.
"Mom, don't worry. I've already apologized to … Ye Zhen."
Mother Ye looked at her with heartache. "It's been hard on you."
Ye Qing smiled and comforted Mother Ye instead. "I'm fine. As long as Zhen can reconcile with us, I'm willing to do anything."
She sounded wronged, but she forced a smile. There were even tears in the corners of her eyes. Mother Ye felt even more heartache for her. She held her hand tightly and didn't let go.
The people at the banquet were all unimportant people, so Lu Beichuan didn't chat much. He was concerned about Ye Zhen's health, so he left with his people after eating.
Father Ye was drunk and kept saying that he was a good son-in-law and a good daughter. He was so flattered by the people around him that he patted his chest and made countless promises.
On the way back to the Lu Family, Lu Beichuan told Ye Zhen everything that had happened between him and Shen Weiyin since they were young.
It was just normal interactions between the two families. In Lu Beichuan's words, he didn't have any thoughts about Shen Weiyin at all.
Ye Zhen certainly knew this. In the novel, Lu Beichuan was an ascetic monk who didn't get close to women. No one could enter his eyes or his heart, except for Ye Qing.
"Mr. Lu, you're so outstanding. It's normal for you to have one or two childhood sweethearts who have a crush on you. Don't worry, I'm a very generous person. I won't do anything jealous." Ye Zhen looked at him slyly. "I'm actually very curious about your opinion of Ye Qing."
Lu Beichuan frowned deeply. He didn't understand why Ye Zhen suddenly mentioned Ye Qing.
From the time he woke up until now, he hadn't interacted much with Ye Qing. What opinion could he have of her?
On the other hand, Ye Zhen didn't seem to be bothered at all when she talked about Shen Weiyin. Instead, she treated Ye Qing like she was facing a formidable enemy.
Lu Beichuan said lightly, "She's eager for quick success and quick benefits. I don't have any opinion."
Ye Zhen thought about it carefully. That was indeed the case.
Although she didn't understand what had happened, ever since she transmigrated, the Ye Qing she saw was indeed eager for quick success and quick benefits. She was completely different from the person described in the novel. Not to mention a shrewd man like Lu Beichuan, even a slightly smarter man could see that Ye Qing didn't have good intentions.
Thinking about Ye Qing's character in the novel, Ye Zhen fell into deep thought.
In the novel, Ye Qing was beautiful, smart, kind, and generous. She had her own pride but wasn't arrogant. Perhaps, this was the type of girl Lu Beichuan liked in the novel.
As for now …
"Mr. Lu, what type of woman do you like?"
Lu Beichuan scrutinized her and said lightly, "I like women who are kind and smart. They won't be arrogant just because they're spoiled."

The weather was getting colder day by day. In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year. The streets and alleys were filled with the atmosphere of the New Year.
Ye Zhen's belly was also getting bigger day by day. She was five months pregnant, and now her belly was bulging. She didn't have morning sickness. This made Ye Zhen in a good mood. Her appetite doubled. Under the careful care of the Lu Family, her slender figure became plump.
Old Master Lu also came back from the old residence. The family was bustling with noise and excitement as they prepared for the New Year. As soon as he saw Ye Zhen, he gave her a big red packet.
Ye Zhen didn't refuse and accepted the old man's kind intentions.
Old Master Lu looked at Ye Zhen's bulging belly and was overjoyed. He kept asking Ye Zhen if she needed anything. At the same time, he sent people to the old residence to transfer all the pregnant servants over.
In the past, when they were at the old residence, he didn't think much of it. He thought that it wasn't a big deal if she was pregnant. But now, when he saw Ye Zhen's bulging belly in real life, he really liked it.
He couldn't wait to move all the best things in the world over.
This directly led to the Lu Family moving all the children's things into the house.
