Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 1392 - 570: Reunion Year (Part 2)

Xiang Wei rarely gets sentimental, but Yueyao doesn’t reciprocate: "Aren’t you afraid of exhausting yourself by hurrying? Get up and walk around the courtyard for a few minutes, then take a rest."

Xiang Wei is full of energy now and doesn’t want to rest: "Madam, don’t you want to know what happened in Haikou?"

Yueyao laughs: "Seeing you return safely is enough." As long as Zhou Shu no longer bothers her, Yueyao is not really interested in what happened in Haikou.

Xiang Wei knows that Yueyao is always indifferent, but that doesn’t dampen her enthusiasm to speak. However, since Kexin is present and some things are difficult to say, Xiang Wei finds a reason to send Kexin back to her courtyard: "Kexin, Aunt bought a lot of things for you in Haikou, they have been sent to your courtyard, go take a look."

Kexin knows that the two of them have things she shouldn’t hear, so she bows to them and leaves.

Once Kexin is gone, Xiang Wei eagerly recounts her experiences over the past two months: "I thought Zhou Shu would try some tricks on the road, but surprisingly he was unbelievably obedient the whole way." This made Xiang Wei quite frustrated; she was hoping to use the opportunity to deal with Zhou Shu! But Zhou Shu didn’t cause trouble, so she couldn’t take advantage of a poisoned person.

Yueyao knows Xiang Wei well; it would be strange if she didn’t make a move: "Did you suffer losses?" If Zhou Shu were a pure-hearted person, how could he manage to have pirates thriving?

Xiang Wei’s face stiffens, forcing a smile: "Can’t say it was a loss, it was more like a draw." As for what losses she suffered, Xiang Wei doesn’t explain. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Yueyao doesn’t insist on asking: "How is Big Brother Zhuo?"

Xiang Wei greatly admires Yueyao’s foresight: "Initially, I thought that Old Grand Master An could use the opportunity to capture Zhou Shu and his group, but unfortunately, he didn’t heed my advice."

Old Grand Master An certainly wanted to capture Zhou Shu and his group, but that was easier said than done. Zhou Shu’s subordinates aren’t fools; their agreed location wasn’t within the Great Yuan Dynasty’s maritime borders, and the place set for the exchange was extremely complex, where large ships couldn’t enter, and small ones could easily crash into hidden reefs without a guide. In such a place, if Old Grand Master An sent troops to attack, it would only result in needless soldier deaths. Under such circumstances, there’s no way Old Grand Master An would attack.

Yueyao isn’t surprised at all: "If he didn’t have precise arrangements, how would he dare come to the Capital City alone?" Zhou Shu is a very calculated man; otherwise, he wouldn’t have built such a large foundation by the age of thirty.

Xiang Wei is puzzled: "Didn’t you used to hate him? Why do I feel that you don’t hate him anymore?" Not only does she not hate him, but she even speaks well of him.

Yueyao laughs: "I’m just speaking the truth, what’s wrong with that? As for hate, I used to hate him a lot, but since he won’t bother me anymore, that hate has dissipated." She is living well now, so there’s no need to dwell on past grievances.

Xiang Wei pouts but tactfully doesn’t mention Zhou Shu again, instead enthusiastically speaking about An Zhizhuo: "Madam, do you know how An Zhizhuo was caught?"

Yueyao knows Xiang Wei is about to start gossiping: "Does it have something to do with that brothel woman?" An Zhichen specifically mentioned that brothel lady, it’s quite likely that An Zhizhuo’s kidnapping had something to do with her.

Xiang Wei chuckles: "So you know about that woman! But you probably don’t know Zhou Shu sent people to kidnap that brothel woman, then An Zhizhuo underestimated the enemy, thinking they were just thugs, leading to his capture. Tsk tsk, you don’t know, after An Zhizhuo was rescued, he insisted on seeing that woman, Old Grand Master An was so furious his face turned blue."

Yueyao interrupts Xiang Wei’s mischievous fun: "An Zhizhuo can’t win against Old Grand Master An." If An Zhizhuo wants to keep the woman by his side, perhaps Old Grand Master won’t mind, but he certainly won’t allow An Zhizhuo to give her a title or let her bear children.

Xiang Wei clicks her tongue: "You’re speaking like you were there yourself. Old Grand Master An acts swiftly and decisively; before An Zhizhuo comes back, he thoroughly investigates the woman’s background. He gives her two options: death or marriage? The woman chooses marriage." Old Grand Master isn’t joking; if the woman didn’t choose to marry, he truly would have disposed of her on the spot.
