Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 2353: Maternal Family

An old lady, a middle-aged couple, and a ten-year-old girl showed surprised and happy smiles at the sight of Qiao Xuan. Tears welled up in the old lady’s turbid eyes, and she got so excited that she stood up. She moved forward to hug Qiao Xuan but stopped as if she remembered something. She stood there, looking at Qiao Xuan without blinking. She shivered for a while and said in a trembling voice, “You… you are Yan’s daughter? Qiao… you look so much like your mother!”

The old lady seemed to have thought of something sad. She wiped her tears with her sleeve and started to cry. The man and the young girl supported her and persuaded her in low voices.

The little girl looked a little timid. She huddled up next to the old lady and did not dare to raise her head.

The middle-aged man looked honest and stiff. His eyes turned red too, and he sized up Qiao Xuan secretly, as if he wanted to say something but did not dare to.

This old lady was Old Madam Ruan. The middle-aged man was her second son, Ruan Erlang. The middle-aged woman was his wife, Ms. Ding. The little girl was their daughter, Ruan Lijuan.

Qiao Xuan’s biological mother, Concubine Yan, had the family name Ruan.

Old Madam Ruan was Concubine Yan’s mother.

Qiao Xuan was startled when she heard Caiyue’s report.

She admitted that she had never thought much about Concubine Yan.

After all, Concubine Yan was the biological mother of this body, but she passed away a long time ago. Even the original body might not remember much about Concubine Yan, let alone her—a transmigrator who had never met Concubine Yan and had no impression of her.

Besides, she had not had much contact with the Qiao family over the years, let alone Concubine Yan, who had passed away. No one ever mentioned Concubine Yan again.

It was as if such a person had never appeared in her life. In fact, that was indeed the case.

Who would have thought that all of a sudden, Concubine Yan’s mother and her family would come to her?

That was indeed unexpected for Qiao Xuan.

Maybe in her generation, she was not related to the Ruan family by blood, and she had never met them before, so she had no feelings for them. Qiao Xuan was not moved at all when she saw Old Madam Ruan and the others. For some reason, she felt even more embarrassed.

It wasn’t that she didn’t suspect their identities, but since they dared to come knocking on her door like this, it was most likely not out of nowhere. After all, such things were very easy to investigate.

If she said anything suspicious now, she would be cautious, but what if she proved wrong in the future? These words would seem too hurtful.

No matter what, they were Concubine Yan’s family.

In any case, without Concubine Yan’s daughter’s body, she would not have existed, let alone married her husband today.

Because of this karma, Qiao Xuan felt she had to make some repayment.

Concubine Yan had passed away, so she had to repay the Ruan family.

They were at least better than the Qiao family.

But Qiao Xuan did not know how to address the Ruan family…

Luckily, Shao Yunduan, who had been busy, heard the news and rushed over just as she was feeling embarrassed.

Shao Yunduan called her name. When he walked in, Qiao Xuan relaxed and approached him with a smile. “Husband…”
