Chapter 271: Chapter 0271 Guan Cheng Recognizes Relatives 3_1

By the end of it, Madam Xu was rambling, "You don’t look much like your father, but you’re the spitting image of your grandfather. At my first glance, I felt you were familiar, by the second I was feeling a kinship, and by the third, I was certain you must have a blood relation with the Guan Family."

However, Feng Qingxue and Guan Cheng listened to her patiently to the end. Guan Cheng then shared that he had a younger brother named Guan Yu.

"I hear that my brother looks a lot like our father, and also very much like our aunt."

"Well, your father and your aunt do look alike!" Madam Xu felt a mixture of astonishment and delight when she met one grandnephew, and her excitement went over the roof when she learned about another one. She kept repeating incredulously, "You have a younger brother? Do I...Do I have two grandnephews? Does the Guan family have two descendants? Really? Really? Really?" She could hardly believe her ears.

Guan Cheng nodded, "Ayu is my father’s secret son, seven years old this year."

Madam Xu clasped her hands together and paid her respects to the heaven, "God bless. God bless. Thank the Lord. Thank you! Thank you for giving the Guan family a lifeline by blessing us with these two children!"

Guan Cheng said, "What’s the point in thanking God? The person who truly deserves gratitude is my Aunt!"

"Aunt?" Madam Xu looked towards Feng Qingxue, full of questions, "Xiaoxue, why did Guan Cheng call you aunt?"

Feng Qingxue laughed and replied, "My mother’s family name is Lu, don’t you remember? They used to be landlords, my deceased sister-in-law from the Lu family was your niece Linglong. Now Acheng and Ayu live with us and, like Tianjun and Tianzhi, they call me aunt. Tianjun and Tianzhi are Linglong’s two boys and my husband Ajiang’s nephews!"

It took Madam Xu a good while to sort out these connections, and then she expressed both surprise and joy, "So...So what a coincidence then? Your partner is Linglong’s younger uncle?"

"Yes, he is! If you recall, it was you who suggested I meet with Ajiang."

Madam Xu touched her chest; she remembered it now.

Back then, Feng Qingxue was hesitant because of Ajiang’s family social status, but after Madam Xu’s suggestion, things worked out.

The two fell in love at first sight, deepened their feelings upon seeing each other again, and finally got married this year. They even have their child now.

Feng Qingxue was visibly pregnant. As such, she no longer had the gracefulness while walking that she used to have. Madam Xu noticed this immediately; it’s just that all her attention was on Guan Cheng, so she didn’t mention anything about Feng Qingxue’s pregnancy.

"This is...this is simply unbelievable! Absolutely incredible!" felt Madam Xu, full of amazement.

So it turned out that her relation with Feng Qingxue was much deeper than she had imagined. Remembering Guan Cheng saying that they should thank Feng Qingxue, she couldn’t help but wonder why. So she asked him.

Guan Cheng told her how his mother remarried, how he and his brother became destitute, and how Feng Qingxue had saved Guan Yu’s life.

Feng Qingxue quickly chipped in, "We should be thanking my father-in-law. My father found out where the two children were and, because it was inappropriate for him to intervene directly, he sent me instead! Actually, the one we should be thanking the most isn’t me, but my father-in-law."

Madam Xu spoke seriously, "We should be grateful to everyone. Xiaoxue, your whole family are benefactors to our Guan family! That’s right! Guan Cheng and Guan Yu, the only two bloodlines in the declining Guan family, would find it hard to survive in these times without your family adopting and taking care of them. This is a tremendous act of benevolence!"

Feng Qingxue has also been a benefactor to them, the Xu family!

However, Feng Qingxue repeatedly instructed not to tell others about her supplying grain to Madam Xu family, so while in Guan Cheng’s presence, Madam Xu upheld Feng Qingxue’s request and did not bring up her kindness towards her family.
