CHAPTER 2045: CHAPTER 2047

"That’s true."

"By the way, I’ve always been curious about how you ended up here." Ye Zi’an said with bright eyes, "Is there a way to go back? If we could, it would be nice for the whole family to move to that world. From what you say, it’s a society ruled by law, unlike ours, which is a society of might. Personal safety should be more assured there."

When the topic of how she ended up time traveling came up, Yang Chuxia’s face turned a bit green.

This matter absolutely couldn’t be spoken of. It was too embarrassing. Who else but her could crash into someone’s private moment while on a mission? To top it off, why did she end up time traveling after just a moment’s daze?

"Why are you not speaking, my wife?"

"What’s there to say? I can’t go back, and I don’t even know how I got here in the first place." Yang Chuxia said gloomily, "Don’t even think about it; out of millions, it might only happen once in a thousand years. If everyone who wanted to time travel could do so, the world would be in chaos."

"You’re right about that."

Ye Zi’an sighed and decided not to dwell on it any further.

"Have you sent someone to fetch Qingqing and Yueyue?"

"Yes," Ye Zi’an replied, "they should be back soon."

"Sigh, I don’t even know where Yangyang is."

"Yangyang, don’t worry, I have some leads."

"Really?" Yang Chuxia was delighted, but then said angrily, "That brat is really dense. Just yesterday he wrote asking for money. You know, last time, he was clever enough to use acrostic to let us know he was safe. How come this time, he didn’t even give us an address?"

"I think it’s not that he didn’t want to tell us the address, but that old man’s eyes probably didn’t miss him."

With that, Yang Chuxia didn’t say anything more.

"Did Second Madam Mu come to arrange a marriage?" The next day, Ye Zi’an had just returned from court when someone came to say that Second Madam Mu had arrived. Yang Chuxia had gone to greet her but returned in less than a quarter of an hour.

"I don’t know why she came." Yang Chuxia shook her head, "We exchanged a few pleasantries. She had just sat down and drank a cup of tea. Before she said anything, their servant came looking for her, and she left in a hurry."

"Oh? It seems something must have happened."

"I’m not sure; I just casually asked what was going on, and can you guess what happened?" As she spoke, Yang Chuxia folded her arms, "Then she burst into tears and didn’t say a word. I didn’t dare to ask more. Anyone who didn’t know might think I bullied her."

"Alright." Ye Zi’an couldn’t imagine what a crying middle-aged woman looked like, so he didn’t pursue the topic.

"I need to go outside the city tomorrow, come with me."

"Why are you going outside the city?"

"To light an eternal lamp for Dongxue." Yang Chuxia sighed, "If she hadn’t come to the Capital City, this wouldn’t have happened. I’m still uneasy about it. I don’t know what Uncle and Aunt will think when they find out. They might even come to our house to make trouble."

"No one wants such things to happen, don’t let it get to you." Ye Zi’an comforted her, "Sometimes fate is inevitable; what’s meant to happen will happen, whether she came to the Capital City or not."

"If we truly feel guilty, we should take better care of the fourth branch. We can bring her younger sister to us, raise her well, and find a good family for her in the future. That would be compensation."

Yang Chuxia nodded, "I think so too, which is why I’ve told Qingrui. When Yueyue and Qingqing return, Jindi will come back with them."
