Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 1359 - 556: Untitled 2

Xiang Wei’s face turned unpleasant all of a sudden: "He refused? Did you not tell him what Madam Lin did?"

Yueyao smiled and said, "I told him everything, but he thinks it’s all a misunderstanding. Forget it, let’s just leave it at that! I’m not going to meddle in his affairs anymore; otherwise, I’ll end up being blamed no matter what I do."

Xiang Wei’s face showed traces of anger.

Looking at Xiang Wei, Yueyao said, "Xiang Wei, what’s most important to me now is Heyue and the children. Do not interfere in the Lian family’s matters anymore. Let them handle it as they see fit!"

Xiang Wei was taken aback, then understood Yueyao’s intention: "You’ve truly decided to let go completely?" This isn’t just letting go; it’s preparing to not care anymore.

Yueyao nodded, "Tingzheng is no longer a child; he knows how to handle his own affairs." After speaking, she added, "Heyue mentioned that tomorrow he’s off duty, and he’ll take the kids and me to the manor. Do you want to come along?"

Xiang Wei said, "Of course I’ll go wherever you go, that’s not even a question."

Mr. Min had no opinions knowing the master’s decision. However, Elder Wang deliberately made things difficult for Brother Feifei before he agreed.

The next day, An Zhichen personally took Yueyao and the four children to the manor.

The manor awarded by the Emperor was indeed nice, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery. Yueyao fell in love with it at first sight.

An Zhichen stayed at the manor for a day before returning. Upon returning to the Capital City, An Zhichen immediately asked for Tingzheng to come over to the mansion.

When Tingzheng arrived at the An Mansion, he thought both An Zhichen and Yueyao were in the Main Courtyard.

Steward Hong said, "Uncle Master, Madam has taken the young lady and the young master to the manor."

Tingzheng was shocked: "When did they go?" He wasn’t aware of this, not even a hint of news!

Steward Hong smiled and said, "It was yesterday that Old Master personally took Madam and the young lady to the manor. Old Master has just returned not too long ago."

Tingzheng felt uneasy in his heart.

In the study, upon hearing that Tingzheng had come, An Zhichen put down the book he was holding and stood up. Looking at Tingzheng entering, An Zhichen said calmly, "Have a seat!"

The young servant quickly brought in some tea.

Tingzheng didn’t drink the tea and respectfully asked, "Brother-in-law, I heard from the steward that my sister took my nephews to the manor?"

An Zhichen waved his hand, and the young servant immediately left: "The reason I called you here, you should know what it’s about."

The aura around An Zhichen was so strong that it made Tingzheng feel a bit suffocated. After taking a deep breath, Tingzheng said, "I know. Brother-in-law, Madam Lin was at fault, but she has already admitted her mistake. And this matter really was a misunderstanding."

After taking a sip of tea, An Zhichen slowly asked, "Do you know why your sister was willing to endure the pressure from the Lian family to let you pursue martial arts?"

Tingzheng was stunned, he hadn’t known the Lian family forbade him from pursuing martial arts.

Seeing his expression, An Zhichen laughed, "Your sister really hasn’t told you anything." Yueyao secretly did so much for Tingzheng yet never mentioned it, which was quite foolish.

Tingzheng felt a bit ashamed.

Touching the ring on his thumb, An Zhichen said, "The reason your sister withstood such huge pressure to let you practice martial arts was in the hope that you could rejuvenate the reputation of the second branch. Her intention to have you separate from Madam Lin was also to prevent her from ruining your future." The incident with the red coral tree almost destroyed Tingzheng’s future, so An Zhichen’s remark was not unwarranted.

Hurriedly, Tingzheng nodded and said, "Brother-in-law, I know my sister means well for me, but in the incident with the red coral, I was also at fault. If I had clarified then, things wouldn’t have escalated."

After waiting for a long time without Tingzheng saying anything further, An Zhichen asked directly, "So what do you plan to do now?" An Zhichen was inquiring how Tingzheng intended to punish Madam Lin. Given her grave mistake, if divorce wasn’t an option, she must be severely punished; otherwise, how would she learn and prevent future mistakes?

Instinctively, Tingzheng asked, "What?" He didn’t understand the implication behind An Zhichen’s words.

In the past couple of days, when Yueyao told him that Tingzheng was unwilling to separate, An Zhichen hadn’t thought too much about it. Regardless of anything, Madam Lin was the woman Tingzheng loved, and the two had been married for several years, even having a daughter. It was understandable that Tingzheng didn’t want to divorce her. However, the incident with the red coral tree almost cost Tingzheng his official position. Despite such a grave mistake, Tingzheng neither divorced nor punished her, instead lightly glossing over the incident, which An Zhichen found incredulous. It’s fine to love one’s wife, as he also dotes on Yueyao, but one must act with principles; no matter how much indulgence, there must be limits.
