Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 1207 - 510: Trial (Part 4)

After lying in bed for four days, Yueyao could finally get up.

Xiang Wei smiled and said, "You were exhausted recently and caught a cold, that’s why it was so severe." Apart from eating and sleeping, she had been busy all the time recently, so how could she not get sick?

On that same day, Yueyao received a letter from Haikou. Just as Yueyao was about to open it, Xiang Wei took the letter, held it above her head to have a look, and her expression instantly turned gloomy.

Yueyao was a bit puzzled and asked, "What happened? Did something go wrong?"

Xiang Wei pointed to the letter and said, "This letter has been read by someone." Although the letter seemed intact, she was quite sure it had been opened and read.

Yueyao was puzzled, "Why would someone open the letters Tingzheng sent me?" The letters Tingzheng wrote to her were about everyday matters, nothing confidential.

Xiang Wei shook her head, "I’m not sure, but be careful when you reply." Being thousands of miles apart, it’s difficult to know more, so it’s best to stay vigilant.

Yueyao quickly opened the letter and saw that it didn’t contain much, just some everyday trivial matters. If there was anything special, it was that Tingzheng mentioned at the end that he had taken a concubine, who was now pregnant.

After reading it, Xiang Wei frowned and said, "Lin Qinghan is in Haikou now, so I don’t know if this concubine was chosen by Tingzheng himself, or if Lin Qinghan arranged it."

Yueyao was quite certain that the concubine was not arranged by Lin Qinghan, the reason being simple: although the doctor said she had a difficult birth, he didn’t say she was barren, and Lin Qinghan is still young, so why would she give up so easily.

This time Xiang Wei didn’t gloat, but instead said with some concern, "Taking a concubine at this time, and she’s pregnant already? This woman is probably not simple." Xiang Wei also watched Tingzheng grow up and cares a lot about him.

Yueyao put the letter into the drawer, "Tingzheng has been in the officialdom for so long, it’s not so easy for him to be schemed against." If he were easily schemed against, it would mean he’s incompetent, and being separated by thousands of miles, she couldn’t worry even if she wanted to.

Sometimes things happen so coincidently; in the afternoon, Yueyao received a letter from Tingzheng and in the evening, she found out the teacher brought the three children over.

As soon as Brother Xuxu saw Yueyao, he rushed over, hugged her, and said, "Mom, I heard them say you were sick..." Before he could finish, Brother Xuxu started to cry.

Brother Shengsheng and Brother Feifei also looked at Yueyao seriously, their faces full of concern.

Yueyao was both happy and guilty, hugging her three sons, she choked up and said, "Mom is fine, she just caught a cold accidentally, and now she’s already recovered."

Kexin, knowing her three younger brothers had arrived, hurriedly came over.

As soon as Brother Feifei saw Kexin, he complained, "Sister, I specially wrote to you to take good care of Mom, how could you let her catch a cold." Their mom has never been good at taking care of herself, and at the time she went to Suzhou, he was worried, but he didn’t expect her to get sick so soon after leaving.

Kexin felt a bit guilty, "I didn’t take good care of Mom."

Listening to the conversation between the siblings, Yueyao was stunned. What does it mean that she can’t take care of herself and needs her daughter to take good care of her.

Xiang Wei bit her lip to stifle a laugh. This would definitely be told in a letter to An Zhichen, so he knows how lovable and caring his children are.

Mr. Yu Shan smiled and said, "What are you standing there for? It’s windy outside, let’s talk inside." Brother Feifei is small but smart, he knew that long ago.

Once inside, Brother Shengsheng and his two brothers said that Yueyao had lost a lot of weight. They surrounded Yueyao with many thoughtful words, warming her heart.

Yueyao found it peculiar, having only been separated for a little over a month, how her three kids seemed to have transformed. After Kexin took the three children away, Yueyao asked Mr. Yu Shan, "Teacher, what’s happened to the children?" There’s always something suspicious when things are out of the ordinary.

Mr. Yu Shan said, "Do you still remember Fan He?"

Yueyao’s memory wasn’t that bad, she nodded and said, "The fight between Brother Xuxu and the others at school was to stand up for that kid? What happened to that kid?"

Mr. Yu Shan sighed heavily and said, "A while ago Fan He’s grandmother passed away, after the three children visited Fan He, they became especially sensible. This time, upon hearing you were sick, the children were quite scared. If I hadn’t stopped them, they would have gone to see you in Suzhou that night." Mr. Yu Shan knew that upon hearing Yueyao was sick, the three children must have worried she would end up like Fan He’s grandmother, hence their urgency to visit her in Suzhou.

Yueyao’s nose tingled, tears almost falling. She had been so busy with her own matters that she neglected to take care of her children.
