With three superpowers at his fingertips, he could dominate the 1970s.

After parting ways with Ji Buzhi, Jiang Zhiyu picked up her two children and headed straight to her mother's courtyard house.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard a familiar voice chattering away.

She froze for a moment.

Su Wenhao? Why is he back?

Song Zhiyao has sharp ears. As soon as she heard the sound, she immediately started running. Her short legs moved quickly, and she rushed straight into the courtyard.

"Uncle! Uncle's back!"

Song Zhizheng held his mother's hand tightly, refusing to let go, and followed behind with small steps.

……

Su Wenhao was playing his flute with great enthusiasm when he heard the word "little uncle." He immediately stopped playing, turned his head, and saw his little niece flying towards him like a butterfly.

He squatted down, picked up his little niece, and spun her around several times.

Song Zhiyao's giggles echoed in the courtyard.

Jiang Zhiyu led Song Zhizheng through the door and saw this scene.

"Cousin, when did you get back?"

"She's only been here a short while," Su Wenhao said, putting his daughter down as he turned around with a smile. "Come, come, let me introduce you. This is your future cousin-in-law, Lin Manzhi."

Jiang Zhiyu looked in the direction of the sound.

Standing next to Su Wenhao was a girl with delicate features, an oval face, and willow-leaf eyebrows. She looked quite shy, with her head bowed and eyes lowered, like someone who had never seen the world. However, her eyes darted around, which seemed quite incongruous.

Jiang Zhiyu saw the scheming in her eyes at a glance.

However, I still politely stepped forward.

"Hello, Comrade Lin!"

"Don't call me Comrade Lin! Call me Little Cousin-in-law!"

Jiang Zhiyu smiled slightly and corrected him in a tone that was neither too loud nor too soft.

"You haven't even registered your marriage with that girl yet. Calling her that will ruin her reputation."

These words were spoken casually, but everyone present understood the implied meaning.

Su Wenhao scratched his head.

"Yeah, this isn't the US."

Su Jinglun and Shen Peiyu exchanged a glance. Jiang Boxun and Su Wanqing's expressions also darkened slightly.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, but they remained outwardly calm.

Lin Manzhi also noticed the slight change in everyone's expressions.

She was a very perceptive person; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to snag Su Wenhao. He was the best match she'd found among all the people she'd met. She'd already arranged with her family: a dowry of one thousand yuan, three turns and one ring, and forty-eight legs—nothing could be missing.

However, after returning to Kyoto with Su Wenhao and seeing the family's house with its carved beams and painted rafters, exuding exquisiteness and preciousness, she felt that what she wanted was too little.

She insisted that Su Wenhao buy her a house like the one in Kyoto, so that her younger brother would have a place to live when he got married.

She also noticed how much attention everyone paid to the young cousin who had just entered; a single sentence from her could change everyone's expression. In this family, the one person you absolutely couldn't offend was this seemingly young cousin.

She calmly suppressed her thoughts and walked over to speak.

"It's okay, little cousin. Wenhao and I were bound to be together sooner or later anyway, so we're not afraid of what others say."

Jiang Zhiyu just smiled and didn't reply.

Su Jinglun quickly broke the awkward silence.

"Alright, alright, now that Zhiyu is back, let's eat! Zhiyu, your grandma made your favorite chicken soup, and she even added some medicinal herbs. You've been so busy lately, you've even lost weight, you need to make sure you eat well."

Shen Peiyu quickly responded.

"Yes, yes, I personally added the medicinal herbs. You and the child should eat more to nourish yourselves."

Then everyone walked into the courtyard.

……

Before they sat down, Su Wenhao noticed that Lin Manzhi seemed a little reserved, so he leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

"It's alright. My little cousin may seem cold on the outside, but she's kind-hearted. She's incredibly capable; in our family, no one's word carries more weight than hers."

After saying that, he quietly gloated.

"My little cousin can talk directly to people in higher positions."

Hearing this, Lin Manzhi felt even more fortunate that she had found a powerful patron.

She would cling to Su Wenhao's coattails even if it meant death.

……

After everyone was seated, Lin Manzhi finally saw what kind of treatment the pampered girl received.

The four elders at the table were all doting on the young woman. They served her food, added soup, and asked her all sorts of questions, as if afraid she wouldn't eat a single bite. Then there were the two precious children, pampered and adorable, their faces radiating spoiled joy. It was clear that this little cousin had married very well.

"Where did my little cousin get married? Why hasn't her husband come over?"

That question came out of nowhere.

Everyone turned to look at her.

Lin Manzhi quickly coughed lightly to cover up her embarrassment.

"These two kids are so cute, their dad must be amazing. Why didn't he come along?"

Su Wenhao quickly replied, his voice very loud.

"Of course! My brother-in-law is incredibly handsome, dignified, and dashing! My younger cousin is very looks-oriented; otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen Song Yanzhou. However, he's a military officer and extremely busy."

Jiang Zhiyu glanced at Su Wenhao.

Su Wenhao immediately made a zipping motion and shut his mouth.

Jiang Zhiyu didn't stand on ceremony at all.

"Little cousin, you know our family situation. Don't talk about it to outsiders, especially not in front of strangers."

This statement is quite strong. The hint is quite obvious.

Su Wenhao seemed oblivious and waved his hand.

"It's alright, it's alright, we're all family here, aren't we?"

Jiang Zhiyu didn't say anything more, but casually asked a question.

Why haven't my uncle and aunt come back?

"Hey, they're still in Hong Kong taking care of some company business, they won't be back for a while." Su Wenhao waved his hand, then his eyes lit up. "But I have some great news to tell you all, your wife is pregnant!"

Su Jinglun and Shen Peiyu immediately stood up.

"Are you serious? Xiaoman is pregnant?"

"That won't do. Who will take care of him? Wenbin definitely can't manage alone."

Shen Peiyu immediately made the decision.

"Old man, pack your things. I'm going with Wenhao this time. I need to take care of Xiaoman. Also, pack all the good medicinal herbs. Our family's first great-grandson needs to be well taken care of."

Su Jinglun nodded repeatedly and turned to make the arrangements.

The courtyard suddenly became lively.

Upon hearing this, Lin Manzhi instinctively touched her stomach.

This unconscious action went largely unnoticed by others.

But who is Jiang Zhiyu?

She was a little annoyed.

How could my cousin be so reckless? He didn't even check her background before bringing her home, and she looks pregnant. There are countless people watching their family; what if something happens to this unknown person?

She's determined to get to the bottom of this tonight.

……

When evening came and everyone had rested,

Su Jinglun and Shen Peiyu knocked on Jiang Zhiyu's door.

Jiang Zhiyu opened the door and saw her maternal grandparents. It also appeared that Jiang Boxun and Su Wanqing from next door had just opened their doors as well.

Su Jinglun asked in a low voice.

"Are the two little ones asleep?"

Jiang Zhiyu nodded.

"Let's go to the study."

The five people filed into the study, and Su Jinglun closed the door tightly.
