What was she mad about? What was she mad about? He made it sound like she was being unreasonable.

Jiang Wu felt angry and aggrieved; her eyes became hot and tears almost came out.

She couldn’t see her children, couldn’t accompany them to grow up, and couldn’t be close to them. Everyone knew that Nian Yin had a heart disease, except her.

What kind of mother was she?

The more Jiang Wu thought about it, the sadder she felt. She wiped her tears with her hands behind Chu Ling’s back.

She cried so hard that her eyes were filled with tears and her hands could no longer wipe the tears clean, so she reached into her bosom to look for her handkerchief, but it had long been lost somewhere. She found nothing and had no choice but to continue wiping the tears with her hands.

When someone touched her arm, Jiang Wu knew who it was. She was so righteous that she opened her mouth without thinking. When she came to her senses and realized that she was being too bold, she turned around carefully to look.

Chu Ling’s hand was still raised there, and the red “evidence” on the back of his hand where she had slapped it was quickly disappearing, but the black handkerchief, which was obviously just about to be handed to her, now fell to the ground.

Although Jiang Wu was angry, she was still timid. She did not dare to look at Chu Ling’s expression. She quickly bent down, picked up the handkerchief, turned around, and continued crying.

While she was crying, she vaguely heard a sigh behind her.

“Tomorrow……”

When she heard the man’s voice, Jiang Wu immediately stopped crying and listened attentively.

“I will bring Aye and Nianyin back to live in the mansion.”

She was filled with joy. Chu Ling’s words made her forget to cry for a moment and she quickly turned back to verify.

The man didn’t look like he was joking. And he wasn’t the kind of person who would joke, let alone lie to her.

So Jiang Wu didn’t even say “Really?” and just looked at him stupidly, not knowing how to react.

She felt a smile flash across Chu Ling’s eyes, but when she looked more closely, it was that cold, dead face again.

The dead-faced man pointed his finger at his side. Jiang Wu understood. Although he was unwilling, he did not dare to disobey and moved closer to Chu Ling until she was next to him.

She thought for a while but still felt uneasy, so she asked again, “How long can they stay in the mansion?”

Chu Ling glanced at her before answering, “Since they are coming home, they will naturally stay there forever.”

Jiang Wu was truly delighted this time. She was not without worries in her heart. Chu Ling took the children over at this time, probably just to prepare for marrying Chu Yan in the future.

She didn’t have much time left.

But even so, she was happy to think about being a real mother and participating in her children’s lives.

Although there were still tears hanging from her eyelashes, Jiang Wu’s mouth corners were already raised.

“Not crying anymore?”

When Chu Ling’s voice came, his hand also reached out. Jiang Wu reacted for a while before handing over the handkerchief in her hand.

The man held her hand and wiped the tears from her eyes.

“Then…what about mother?” Jiang Wu was still worried. The wife of the Duke was not so easy to talk to.

Chu Ling remained calm: “I will tell her.”

Jiang Wu was relieved. After all, not to mention the Chu family, but in the entire Daqi, it was Chu Ling who had the final say. If he went to talk, the children would definitely come back.

Perhaps because she was in a better mood, she also liked Chu Ling a little more. The man lowered his head to wipe her hands with skill, and his angular face showed an indescribable patience.

It was really rare to see him serving people like this.

If Chu Ling married Chu Yan, he would definitely be a good husband. Jiang Wu thought vaguely that she would be able to help others achieve their goals.

After returning home, Jiang Wu specially cleaned up the yard for the two children.

The yard was not far from her house.

The decoration for boys was simple and did not require much effort. She only found the precious four treasures of the study and prepared them for Chu Ye. However, her mind was mostly on Nian Yin’s room.

She personally selected the decorations, bedding, and screen styles that the girls liked.

“Change the style of this bed curtain to…”

When Jiang Wu was giving orders to her servants, she suddenly paused.

This felt very strange. Nian Yin did not grow up in front of her, and she always felt that she was not a competent mother and did not understand everything about her child.

But at this moment, when she was thinking about what Nian Yin would like, all the thoughts seemed to come to her on their own.

Jiang Wu was stunned for a long time. In her opinion, the feelings she had for her children were the natural love of a mother.

Had she really… never been close to the children? This thought suddenly flashed through Jiang Wu’s mind.
