Before she could think about it, she heard the servant come to report: “Madam, the Young Lady, and the Young Master are back.”

Jiang Wu smiled unconsciously and forgot about her doubts. She lifted her skirt and went out. Halfway through, she remembered and turned back to remind the maids, “Remember to change the bed curtains. Change them to white ones.”

Although pink was suitable for girls, she always felt that Nian Yin would not like it.

When she was leaving, the servant told her that the Duke’s wife had also come.

Jiang Wu’s heart tightened slightly. She didn’t expect that the Duke’s wife would especially send them here. But no matter what, this time he brought the children back. Even if their relationship was not good normally, she would just listen to her nagging this time and must not make her angry.

She said this to herself in her heart. When she arrived outside the mansion, Chu Ye was helping his grandmother get off the carriage. It could be seen that their relationship was really good. Chu Ling was also there, standing aside.

Jiang Wu walked over, temporarily hiding the joy of being with the children, and greeted the Duke’s wife like a young daughter-in-law: “Mother.”

They planned to invite the Duke’s wife to their house, but she just waved her hand and said, “I won’t go in, Jiang Wu.”

Jiang Wu’s heart tightened when she called his name, and he quickly responded, “My daughter-in-law is here.”

“I leave the children to you,” the Duke’s wife said with a gloomy face, her terrifying aura somewhat similar to Chu Ling’s, “but if you hurt them again, don’t blame me for never letting you see them again in this life.”

Jiang Wu had originally made up her mind to listen respectfully to whatever her mother-in-law said today, but she became angrier the more she listened.

What did she mean by saying she hurt them? She loved her children so much, how could she hurt them? Just when she was about to say something, her sleeves suddenly sank. It was Nian Yin who came to her at some point, grabbed her sleeves, and looked at her grandmother.

“Grandma,” her voice was so gentle that it made people feel pity for her. “What happened last time was my own carelessness. Please don’t blame Mother.”

Jiang Wu then remembered that Nian Yin had fallen ill during the spring outing, and for a moment she felt very guilty.

“You don’t all have to side with her,” the Duke’s wife continued to insist, “Jiang Wu, no matter what happened between you two, if you dare to vent your anger on…”

“Mother.” This time, it was Chu Ling who spoke. He was not too harsh towards his Mother, but his intimidating look naturally carried a sense of oppression.

This was useful because the Duke’s wife had already stopped talking. She looked at her son, then at her granddaughter who was tightly holding her mother’s sleeve, and finally sighed: “Okay, I don’t care about your family’s affairs anymore.”

After saying that, she turned and left.

Jiang Wu was very confused.

She carefully considered her mother-in-law’s words. Did the unfinished part mean that she shouldn’t take her anger out on the children?

How could she do that?

Besides, in their relationship as a couple, wasn’t Chu Ling the boss? Whatever Chu Ling said was the truth, and it was not her turn to lose her temper.

The more Jiang Wu thought about it, the angrier she became. The Duke’s wife’s carriage had been moving for quite some time. She looked at the only remaining shadow and was really annoyed with herself for being so stupid as to not refute it.

She was just left there sulking.

Only when she turned around and saw her daughter’s worried look did she feel relieved.

Forget it, forget it, the children were all around her, why bother about those things?

“Nian Yin, mother has decorated your room. Come and take a look. Is there anything you don’t like?”

She held her daughter’s hand.

Nian Yin smiled and looked back: “Nian Yin likes everything that mother chooses.”

The two were walking in front. Jiang Wu had walked for a while before she remembered about Aye. Looking back, she saw the father and son who were two steps behind seemed to be having a conversation, but their expressions were more solemn than each other. She paid attention and saw that Chu Ling seemed to have cursed at the end.

“idiot.”

Jiang Wu was furious. What right did he have to scold his son?

“Your father has a really bad character.” She couldn’t help but speak ill of Chu Ling in front of her daughter.

Nian Yin also glanced over there before she spoke softly, “Actually… my father can be very gentle sometimes.”

She was probably afraid of angering Jiang Wu, so she spoke very carefully and secretly observed her own reaction.

This made Jiang Wu secretly blame herself for her carelessness. The children naturally admired their father, and she could not take them away in the future. It would be useless to sow discord between them and Chu Ling.

So she put on a smiling face again: “I was just saying it casually. Your father is certainly powerful. Look at him, handsome, decisive, powerful, well…” After thinking about it, she couldn’t come up with any more words, so she went back to the beginning, “He’s good-looking.”

Nian Yin couldn’t help laughing. When she laughed, her eyes were looking behind Jiang Wu. Jiang Wu turned around and found that Chu Ling had come over without her knowing.

After the man’s eyes met hers, he looked away indifferently.

“If you read more books, you wouldn’t know only these two words.”

Jiang Wu was indignant at being laughed at, thinking, “You are the only one who reads so many books.”

However, when he walked away, Nian Yin smiled and said, “Father must be embarrassed by mother’s praise.”

Jiang Wu was shocked. How could Chu Ling be shy? Her daughter must have some misunderstanding about her father.
