Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 1162 - 499: Heading South to Jiangnan (3)

Lin Qinghan looked gloomy: "My husband said he’s busy with work and has no time to take care of us, so he told me not to go to Haikou."

Lady Lin’s heart skipped a beat, worried that he might be enamored by some vixen. Lady Lin didn’t dare to voice her suspicion to Lin Qinghan, so instead, she tapped Lin Qinghan’s forehead and said, "Silly, you’re going to Haikou to take care of him, not for him to take care of you. Hurry up and pack, in a few days you should take Wanting to Haikou."

Lin Qinghan hesitated a bit, and Lady Lin said with a tone of frustration, "Your husband has a bright future ahead. If you don’t go to Haikou, and he gets enchanted by a vixen, you’ll only have yourself to blame and nowhere to cry."

Lin Qinghan was startled but still doubtful, "Mother, that won’t happen."

Lady Lin didn’t know how else to persuade Lin Qinghan, so she said, "Just pack your things and set off on a chosen auspicious day."

Meanwhile, in the Northwest, An Zhichen received a letter from Yueyao. Reading Yueyao’s complaints about their three sons in the letter, An Zhichen couldn’t help but chuckle. Initially, An Zhichen was worried that all his sons would become bookworms like Yueyao, which would be terrible. But now he was no longer worried; the three sons were reportedly as robust as little tigers, causing all sorts of mischief, definitely smart kids! Being hard to manage wasn’t a problem, as long as they didn’t turn into bookworms.

When An Zhichen read that Yueyao mentioned Brother Xu and his siblings wanting to come to the Northwest to see him, a wave of guilt washed over him. The children were only a few months old when they first arrived in the Northwest. The sons didn’t know what he looked like, and likewise, he didn’t know what his sons looked like!

Da Tong curiously asked, "General, isn’t your wife very good at painting? Why not have her draw the portraits of the three young masters for you to see?"

An Zhichen didn’t respond. Upon hearing this, Ah Kai stomped his foot and said, "Why are you talking nonsense, how can appearances be casually painted?" Many believed that painting someone’s likeness would absorb their essence and shorten their lifespan, which is why the only people commissioning portraits from Yueyao in the Capital City were the Old Madams.

Da Tong scratched his head and asked, "Do you believe that?"

Ah Kai thought Da Tong was beyond saving: "Better to believe it than not." It’s evident that their lady believed this; otherwise, the children’s portraits would have been sent already.

Yueyao traveled to Jiangnan by water. Shortly after boarding, both Little Bun and Kexin became seasick. They vomited everything they ate, turning their faces as pale as paper.

Yueyao had no choice but to have someone prepare medicine for them. She had experienced seasickness before and knew that it took at least three to five days to adapt. Fortunately, Xiang Wei was prepared and had packed plenty of seasickness medicine; otherwise, it would have been a difficult journey.

Xiang Wei laughed and said, "Kexin’s body is still weak; she should exercise more. It’s odd, though, why don’t you get seasick?" First-time sailors usually get very seasick. When Xiang Wei first rode a boat, she was terribly seasick, yet Yueyao seemed perfectly fine.

Yueyao smiled and said, "Everyone’s constitution is different. I’m healthy, so it’s not surprising that I don’t get seasick." In her previous life, she got seasick, but this time it seemed she didn’t have that problem.

Xiang Wei looked Yueyao up and down, and said with a smile, "Alright, you’re in good shape. And Brother Shengsheng’s three brothers are also in good shape, they didn’t get seasick either."

Yueyao felt relieved that the three brothers were in good health; if all five children got seasick, how could she manage?

Xiang Wei, feeling particularly bored on the boat, having no one but Yueyao to talk to, smiled and asked, "Are you really planning to visit the Qinhuai River?"

Yueyao smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Xiang Wei smiled slyly and said, "Haha, that’s no problem, you could just disguise yourself as a man! Besides, Jiangnan has so many historical and scenic spots that you can’t see them all in just three to five years." Jiangnan is home to four great gardens, three famous buildings, ten ancient water towns, and many other attractions, all of which would take at least three to five years to explore. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Yueyao had no plans to disguise herself as a man: "I’ll just rent a boat; I don’t need to disguise myself as a man."

Xiang Wei opened her mouth in surprise, "You, disguised as a man? How do you plan to visit? Don’t tell me you’re going to travel the Qinhuai River openly as Lady An? An Zhichen would be laughed at death!" Yueyao usually valued harmony, so how could she do something so daring this time?

Looking at the water on the river, Yueyao said, "Not as Lady An," as the sunlight made the water glisten like gold.
