Chapter 341: Life is full of jealousy and hatred

Outside, no matter how windy and rainy it gets......

Speaking of Yu Baobao, she's the most simple-minded—oh no, I mean pure.

If it were anyone else seeing this scene, they'd have already kicked up a fuss, right?

I didn't get the letter, and on top of that I happened to run into such a big matter......

But he wasn't the least bit upset; he just covered his broad forehead with one hand and, with the other, happily stroked Du Shanü's belly, smiling with relaxed brows.

"This is my first time being a person; Wife Master, don't despise my stupidity—I'll study hard!"

"This time I'll definitely remember well——

"Turns out Wife Master is pregnant, not injured; turns out the little rascal comes about like this; turns out—turns out I'm going to be a dad!" (〃'▽'〃)

Du Shanü's heart stirred, but in the end she didn't retort.

She pulled the dusty Yu Baobao inside, one hand casually brushing off his dust while she led him to sit on a repaired luohan chair, chattering about what had happened since they parted.

How have you been lately? When did you conceive? When is the due date......

She patted earnestly, inch by inch, over his familiar brows and features.

Yu Baobao's appearance bears a charm utterly different from Chinu's.

If Chinu is the moon beneath the lamp, the flower in the courtyard,

then Yu Baobao is the sun in the heavens, the fire within stone.

Just looking at him brings pleasure to the eye, opens the heart, and makes one forget all unhappiness and worry.

But even this sun in the heavens has its waning moments.

Du Shanü gently soothed him......

But for some reason, as they talked, Yu Baobao's eyes turned red.

Perhaps it's because they've been apart too long; he truly longs for her to the extreme.

He bent over, lowered his head, and leaned into Du Shanü's embrace.

Du Shanü thought he would ask something, but he only murmured:

"Wife Master, Wife Master......"

"I almost thought you didn't want me anymore."

Not coming back for so long, and not even a word of news.

A little bit, a little bit—he thought something must have happened to Wife Master!

But all's well—Wife Master is fine, and she's about to give birth to a little rascal soon.

That way, their home will be even livelier from now on!

Du Shanü's fingertips paused, she embraced Yu Baobao, who shone like brilliant sunlight, and a feeling welled up in her heart:

"How could I bear to leave you."

Even though the matter of the child is settled, she still thought to explain it first to Yu Baobao, fearing he'd be jealous and worried.

In that very first letter, she explained everything to Yu Baobao——

Now she's been running about outside, with only Chinu by her side; after getting along for so long, it's inevitable they'd cause trouble.

But as long as the world is at peace, and she seeks stability, she will certainly not shortchange the time owed to Yu Baobao.

Over time, she and he might also have a child.

She even thought of Yu Baobao not liking to handle governmental affairs.

Yu Baobao's and Chinu's temperaments are both too distinct.

If the child grows up on their father's knee, the father's temperament will surely influence the child to some extent.

If Yu Baobao's side's child were to inherit the great rule, Yu Baobao would not only worry about being unable to help the child, but would also lose the chance to live a carefree life.

Chinu sees that his own child can only be relegated to idle fields, becoming a carefree household, and he certainly wouldn't accept that.

"This is also why she so easily gave the first child the name 【Rui】."

In fact, she had long considered the temperaments of Yu Baobao and Chinu, and had plotted a path for each.

In her heart, she has actually always had both of them.

Precisely for this reason, when planning, she always stood from both of their standpoints, considering them.

This time Yu Baobao thought she wouldn't reply to his letter, clearly breaking his heart.

But she couldn't get a reply from Yu Baobao—how is that not also heartbreaking?

In her letters she clearly explained the pros and cons, sincerely coaxed him a lot, and even when seeing the first letter unanswered, she repeatedly sent second, third, fourth letters to coax......

But Yu Baobao never showed any response.

Du Shanü this time clearly thought the matter would be hard to settle, her heart held some fire, preparing to wait until she gave birth, then figure something out.

But she never expected......

Yet Yu Baobao came, dusty and travel-worn.

All the wind and rain, schemes and calculations of the outside world have nothing to do with him.

He came, simply because he missed her too much.

Who could bear that?

Du Shanü gently stroked Yu Baobao's hair in her embrace; Yu Baobao, in response, let out a series of gurgling sounds, murmuring softly:

"Laundry detergent, laundry detergent......"

Du Shanü was startled at first hearing it, then focused and realized he was calling 'wife,' and she couldn't help but laugh.

After thinking left and right, she ended up kissing Yu Baobao's forehead:

"I know you've been wronged this time; rest assured, whatever you say this time, I will also find out why those letters weren't delivered."

These days, losing a letter or two is actually commonplace.

If all the letters are lost, then it cannot be an ordinary matter.

There must be some step that went wrong, causing the two sides to never get in touch.

Speaking harsh truth, Yu Baobao is not someone who could have the brains to think of these.

But she is not a fool; once she comes to her senses, she finds everything strange.

This matter, is it that someone in Cang Cheng intercepted the letters, or......

Wise Lord!

How are you!? I brought the doctor back——!!

Outside the study, footsteps hurriedly approached, but at the instant of pushing the door open, they abruptly stopped.

Chen Weifang returned with an old man whose hair and beard were all white, carrying a case; seeing the scene inside the room, his posture paused slightly.

Du Shanü, upon seeing her own Afang, practically regained her backbone, and quickly waved, saying:

Afang, you came just in time!

I'm fine, Yu Baobao is also fine; quickly stop Chinu from running around, no need to let him wander about, and also send a letter to Cang Cheng......

Du Shanü, with a dry throat, gave a rundown, briefly also mentioning Yu Baobao's situation upon arrival, then said:

I don't know what's going on; I sent so many letters, and Yu Baobao also said she sent me dozens of letters, yet not a single one got through.

I suspect it's either Cang Cheng, or someone among our own ranks, a spy or traitor...... we should have someone investigate thoroughly to find where the mistake lies.

When Chen Weifang arrived, he was in a daze, but upon seeing Yu Baobao appear, the whole person steadied.

His brows and eyes were deep and distant, long settled, and he became again the capable, reliable, noble and pure Chen Weifang.

Now hearing Du Shanü say this, he didn't send the doctor away; instead, he indicated the doctor should take Du Shanü's pulse, while strangely saying:

What the Wise Lord said, could it be those three letters sent back to Cang Cheng?

The letters from Cang Cheng, what's going on with them?

Du Shanü originally had an unsettled mind; upon hearing this, she finally managed to recall the source of Chen Weifang's confusion——

Over these past months, the letters that person handled were indeed only three.

The earliest long letter, she gave it to Xuan Feixing.

Afterwards, on several occasions, whenever she saw someone working at the government office, she would hand it to them casually, letting them deliver it to the post station.

Afang didn't even know how many there were; naturally, she was bewildered by her words today.

Du Shanü was extremely vexed, but facing Afang, she still explained in a soft, rambling manner:

No, I wrote about ten or so letters; Yu Baobao wrote me even more, saying there were over thirty, yet none were delivered......

This time, it's truly ghostly.

?? come on, come on! The tense and exciting segment is here!
