Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 1362 - 557: Winds and Clouds Surging 2

An Zhichen paused for a moment. Yueyao’s idea wasn’t bad. The root of this matter still lay with Tingzheng himself. All the things Yueyao did for him, as long as Tingzheng cared, he could see and think about them, but unfortunately, Tingzheng didn’t have these matters at heart.

An Zhichen felt even worse about Tingzheng. However, as things had come to this, any future dealings with the Lian family would be ordinary: "I told him not to bring Madam Lin anymore, and he agreed."

Yueyao nodded: "That’s good too."—Spare the sight of mutual dissatisfaction.

That night, An Zhichen went to find Brother Shengsheng and his two brothers, and the four of them talked in the room for quite a while.

Upon coming out, An Zhichen saw Xiang Wei.

Xiang Wei asked: "What’s going on?" Xiang Wei noticed that with An Zhichen’s arrival, many people had come to the manor, and all of them had martial skills.

An Zhichen said: "Zhou Shu has returned." Even if Xiang Wei hadn’t asked, he would have told Xiang Wei. Xiang Wei was the most capable bodyguard around Yueyao, and with precautions, Yueyao was much safer.

Xiang Wei’s face changed drastically, but she quickly controlled her emotions and asked: "Has Zhou Shu already arrived in the Capital City?"

An Zhichen shook his head and said: "No, but sooner or later, Zhou Shu will come to the Capital City." Yueyao was Zhou Shu’s obsession; since he returned to the Great Yuan Dynasty, Zhou Shu would certainly come to seek Yueyao.

Xiang Wei stared at An Zhichen and asked: "If you know Zhou Shu will come to the Capital City, why are you keeping this from Madam? And why not take Madam and the children back?" Zhou Shu’s return would surely pose significant danger if Madam and the children remain in the manor.

An Zhichen tightened his grip on the reins and said: "Zhou Shu hasn’t arrived in the Capital City yet; rashly letting Zichang go back would surely arouse her suspicion. Do you want her to live in fear every day?" Yueyao’s fear of Zhou Shu is clearer to him than anyone else. The past events are like a thorn in his heart, and he won’t find peace until Zhou Shu is dead. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Xiang Wei wasn’t so naive, and clenched her fist to say: "Are you planning to use Madam to bait Zhou Shu out? Do you realize that would put Madam in great danger?"

An Zhichen stared at Xiang Wei and said: "Zichang won’t be in danger."—Zhou Shu is coming for Yueyao, but Yueyao won’t be in mortal danger.

Xiang Wei was very angry, but she couldn’t go against An Zhichen’s intentions. It’s not that she’s afraid of An Zhichen, but this matter indeed couldn’t be told to Yueyao; otherwise, she would surely be plagued by nightmares every day.

When it was bedtime, Yueyao smiled and said: "What did you and the kids talk about? For such a long time?"

An Zhichen calmly said: "The children have always wanted to hear about the battles I fought in the Northwest. Today I happened to have time, so I told them some stories."

Yueyao was a bit puzzled because An Zhichen was not one to talk about such trivial matters with the children, but the doubt just crossed her mind without further thought. After all, whatever An Zhichen does, he would never harm the children.

After An Zhichen returned to the Capital City, Yueyao noticed that her three sons seemed a bit strange, but she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong. Yueyao said to Xiang Wei: "Why do I feel like Brother Shengsheng and the others are acting off?"

Xiang Wei recalled that An Zhichen had seen the three children on the night he arrived at the manor, and her heart skipped a beat. An Zhichen wouldn’t have told Brother Shengsheng and the others about this matter, would he? Xiang Wei quickly dismissed this thought; the children are still so young, even if An Zhichen told them, it wouldn’t be useful.

Xiang Wei smiled and said: "It’s normal for children to have their little secrets as they grow up. Don’t worry about it, focus on preparing for the art exhibition!"

Yueyao thought about it; the three children were just more diligent than before, and everything else seemed normal. As for Kexin, she was even more normal. Yueyao eventually set aside her doubts and fully immersed herself in preparing for September’s art exhibition.

Half a month after returning to the Capital City, Tingzheng’s assignment finally came through: a vice battalion commander of the Infantry Camp, neither good nor bad.

In the Capital City, whether a civil official or a military official, each position was just a spot. Of course, if one had connections, it was possible to create a vacancy.

Lin Qinghan learned about Tingzheng’s new assignment and asked: "Didn’t you say there was a vacancy in the Imperial Guard Battalion suitable for you?" After speaking, Lin Qinghan recalled that the commander of the Imperial Guard Battalion was An Zhichen, and her face turned ugly. She hadn’t expected An Zhichen to be so petty; just because her husband didn’t agree to Lian Yueyao’s suggestion to divorce her, An Zhichen resorted to such underhanded tactics. It was truly despicable.

Tingzheng didn’t lay blame on An Zhichen. Although he felt it was a bit of a pity, the position in the Infantry Camp was also quite good.
