Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 255 The Background of the He Family

He Shi actually had no memory of what had happened before, and stared at Pei Cheng in surprise.

Kang Hongxuan and Pei Cheng are good friends, so he knows a lot about his family's affairs. Of course, Mr. Shen and Zhang Hanzhe don't know much about the Pei family's past, but they still know the general outline.

Not long after the old lady of the Pei family gave birth, the baby was switched by Liu Mama in the family. Ten years passed like this, and suddenly someone came to the door and said that Pei Qingwan, the eldest daughter of the Pei family, said that she was not the biological daughter of the Pei family.

How could the Pei family possibly believe it? They even wanted to report the man to the authorities. But the man had brought evidence with him. The midwife who delivered the baby to Madam Pei said that the eldest daughter of the Pei family had a small butterfly mark on her shoulder.

The midwife had never seen such a cute and beautiful baby before, and she was about to tell her, but the old lady suddenly had a massive hemorrhage after giving birth, so she didn't have time. Naturally, no one in the Pei family knew, so no one knew that Liu Mama had switched the baby.

Liu's mother was arranged to work for the Pei family by the Pei family's mortal enemy at the time, so she left the Pei family after only two days of the child being switched, citing the death of an elderly family member. As for whose child Pei Qingwan was, she didn't know.

However, Pei's real child was taken to the countryside and sold to a family surnamed He who desperately wanted a child but had been unable to conceive. In the fifth year after the child arrived at the He family, the couple had their own child, a boy.

The child then lived a miserable life until the Pei family found him and took him back, but unfortunately, he didn't get to enjoy a good life for even a couple of days.

Having grown accustomed to the life of a wealthy family, Pei Qingwan could not bear the thought of not being a child of the Pei family. So, on the third day after He Shi was found and brought back, she devised a plan to kidnap He Shi and sell her to Quan County, which was far from the capital.

However, He woke up halfway and escaped, but she bumped her head and lost her memory. Shen Hongxin happened to run into her and rescued her, taking her home.

The rest is history.

Gu Yunyi looked at Pei Cheng, who was anxious, but still unsure if she was his mother or the real eldest daughter of the Pei family they were talking about, and said, "My mother has no memory of what happened before, and doesn't know anything about the family."

Xu Qingmeng didn't actually know either, because in the book she read, Madam He was no longer alive, so there was no such thing. It must have been her fault that caused the butterfly effect. It's likely that Pei Qingwan knew of Madam He's existence, which would explain everything that happened before.

Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi have now made their relationship official.

Pei Cheng knew he had been reckless, but he had been searching for this person who was related to him by blood for so many years, and his mother had been depressed because of his sister.

There was indeed a butterfly mark on her shoulder. "So, does this mean... you mean I'm a young lady from the Pei family? Your older sister?"

Pei Cheng shook his head: "No."

Mrs. He breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Pei Cheng looked at her firmly and said, "It's not a possibility, it's 100% certain."

His sudden gasp almost choked Mrs. He. She knew this, but she was deceiving herself and didn't want to admit it.

Pei Cheng stood up, about to take a step, when Kang Hongxuan coughed twice and said, "Eat first, the dumplings are getting cold."

“Yes, everyone, please sit down first. Yun Sheng and the others are starving.” Mr. Shen chimed in. Gu Yunyi glanced at his mother, who still looked worried, and said, “Mother, let’s eat first. I’ll take care of anything! Mengniang, Brother Fang, please sit down and eat.”

Xu Qingmeng also snapped out of her thoughts and first invited everyone to eat.

After that, no one mentioned it again. Even though everyone was still confused, they were amazed by the taste of the dumplings in the next instant.

Xu Qingmeng's culinary skills never disappoint. The food she makes always brings a sense of happiness. At this moment, Pei Cheng's happiness was on full display, and he looked smug and triumphant, a far cry from his previous fierce demeanor.

The other two were also surprised; Gu Yunyi's wife's cooking skills were truly excellent.

The dumplings were small, but not too small. You could say that Pei Cheng, being a military general, ate them one after another without any problem. The two scholars next to him did the same, making Xu Qingmeng wonder if they had even tasted the filling inside.

The men all had large appetites, but Mrs. He and Xu Qingmeng didn't eat much. Xu Qingmeng didn't eat much to begin with, and she also drank a bowl of pork rib soup. Mrs. He was preoccupied with something on her mind.

After finishing her meal, He Shi went to Xu Qingmeng's room to see the two little ones. Xu Qingmeng went to the kitchen and told them to cook a large pot of dumplings before going to see He Shi.

Fang Ziheng simply ate and then took Xiao Yuanbao back. Yun Sheng and Yun Mo also ran away, leaving only Gu Yunyi and the four big shots behind.

When Xu Qingmeng returned to the house, she saw He Shi sitting next to the two little ones, secretly grieving.

"Mother, are you alright...?"

Hearing Mengniang's voice, Madam He said softly, "Don't worry, I'm fine. You and Yunyi are so smart, you must have guessed it already!"

"Actually, Mother has always known. The amnesia is real, but it's temporary, and I'll recover quickly!" Madam He said calmly.

"What?" Now it was Xu Qingmeng's turn to be surprised.

Xu Qingmeng never expected that Madam He had regained her memories, but she had never shown it.

"Mother, why didn't you say so?"

Madam He sighed softly, her gaze falling on the two sleeping children, her eyes full of tenderness and love: "Mengniang, I grew up in the countryside, how could I adapt to life in a grand mansion? That place is not suitable for me."

"After being taken back by the Pei family, my mother and father both felt sorry for me. In just two days, I enjoyed a happiness I had never experienced before, which made them neglect Pei Qingwan. Pei Qingwan regarded me as a thorn in her side and plotted against me at every turn."

Knowing they love me is enough. I just want to live a simple life, and now I have you all, Yunyi, Yunsheng, Yunmo, such a wonderful daughter-in-law like you, and two adorable grandchildren. I'm already very content.

"No matter how good the Pei family is, Pei Qingwan was just an unmarried young woman at the time. How could she have done such a thing on her own? In a large family like the Pei family, are all the members truly innocent? You don't need to take Pei Cheng's actions to heart. He is Yun Yi's uncle, so it must be fate!"
