The General's Little Peasant Wife

Chapter 368: Change in attitude

Translator: Vesper

“Okay.”

Ning Meng Yao had been frowning every since Xiao Yi Lin left. Looking at her state, Qiao Tian Chang let out a sigh, “don’t worry, Mother-in-law should be fine if Li Lin Er dared to let out such news, maybe she is trying to achieve something out of the situation.”

This was the only explanation for the situation, else it was impossible for his mother-in-law to give birth under that circumstance in the past, since she was able to deliver her child safely, she should be alive, though her situation may not be ideal.

Ning Meng Yao nodded thoughtfully, “I guess the only one who knows the truth is my father, I should send him a message to ask about the situation.”

“Right.”

Watching Ning Meng Yao in such a stage, Yu Feng spoke, “you should stop worrying about the matter and focus on nurturing your baby, you can leave it to us.”

“Thank you, brother-in-law.” After a brief pause, Ning Meng Yao nodded her head, her eyes filled with warmth.

Yu Feng reached out and ruffled Ning Meng Yao’s hair, “you don’t have to be so polite with me.”

“Chen will be in charge of investigating the matter that occurred over a decade ago, I will be investigating on the people that are close to Li Lin Er. ” Yu Feng allocated the task in a moment of time.

“Okay.” Mu Chen nodded.

The two of them further allocated the task down to their men, while Mu Xue and the others looked at Ning Meng Yao, “now that our brothers are working on their tasks, we should find something to do too, please leave the wedding of Qing Shuang and Nan Yu to us.”

They couldn’t possibly be slacking off when their brothers are working hard. Furthermore, organising wedding matters were very complicated, Ning Meng Yao could not possibly worry about it now that she was pregnant.

“Okay” Ning Meng Yao nodded with a smile, she felt in bliss to have her family and friends helping her out unconditionally, it was a pity that she did not have the chance to return the favor.

Situ Xuan flicked Ning Meng Yao, “Don’t let your thoughts run wild, whatever you give us is much more than what we are providing you.”

Ning Meng Yao gave a smile as she awkwardly rubbed her forehead.

Xiao Zi Xuan had been feeling unfocused and flustered ever since she reached home, she was even avoiding Ling Luo unconsciously.

Ling Luo realized and was feeling puzzled. “What’s wrong, Xuan’er?”

“I am alright, it’s just that I do not think I can achieve what I promised you.” Xiao Zi Xuan lowered her head, and spoke in a depressed tone.

“Don’t worry, take it slow.” Although Ling Luo was also feeling unsatisfied, he knew that they could not be overly hasty in such matters, so he comforted Xiao Zi Xuan.

Xiao Zi Xuan’s was finally at ease under Ling Luo’s gentle gaze.

“Okay, I will.”

Xiao Zi Xuan was worried as she had not received any news from Xiao Yi Lin for the past few days, so she found time to visit Xiao residence.

“Father, what does Mother’s words mean?” She asked her father directly once she arrived.

Xiao Zi Xuan’s presence reminded Xiao Yi Lin of Li Lin Er’s words, that she was not his daughter by blood, but she was, after all, a child that he brought up. It was still a little unbearable for him to give her up.

“What’s wrong, Father? Why do you look at me like that?” Xiao Yi Lin’s gaze that were filled with complicated feelings made Xiao Zi Xuan uneasy, she grabbed his hand and pursued with her questions.

Xiao Yi Lin was feeling impatient, “alright, stop with your questions, you only have to carry on with your life.” Unlike before, his voice was no longer doting but felt cold and distant.

Xiao Zi Xuan stared at Xiao Yi Lin blankly, her father had changed too, “Just what is going on, Father? Please, tell me?”

“I already said there’s nothing going on, go back, and stop asking.” He might really let out his anger on her if she continued to press on with her questions.

Although Xiao Zi Xuan still had questions, the look of Xiao Yi Lin told her that she would not be getting any more answers, there was nothing else she could do but to leave the place silently.

Xiao Yi Lin sighed as he watched Xiao Zi Xuan leave. He did not want to see Xiao Zi Xuan at this moment, for he would be reminded of Concubine Liu’s betrayal. That way, Xiao Zi Xuan could at least continue to carry on her life at Ling residence.
