Chapter 131: Meeting Zhao Anhuai
Sun Yarou took a few deep breaths to calm down.
When Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan arrived, she smiled. “Miss Liu, Mr. Chu, please sit.”
Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan sat down. Sun Yarou sighed. “The person who left just now was my husband, Zhao Fengyun.”
Sun Yarou asked the servants to prepare food for Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan. She also picked up her chopsticks, but she was worried sick, and was not in the mood to eat. No matter how delicious the food was, it became bland and tasteless in her mouth.
Liu Sanniang said, “It’s understandable that Lord Zhao reacted so strongly.”
Sun Yarou frowned and looked at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, did you see anything wrong?”
Sun Yarou did not know anything about mystics. However, since she was young, her mother would often take her to offer incense at temples. They would generously donate money to the temple.
She was not sure if she was really overthinking this time.
Liu Sanniang did not answer Sun Yarou immediately. “I won’t know until I see him.”
Only when she saw the person in question would she know what was going on and what to do.
Sun Yarou was a little disappointed. “I have three children. My eldest son, Zhao Anhuai, is already 16 years old. My second son, Zhao Anren, is 13 years old. My daughter, Zhao Anan, is only 8 years old. I don’t ask for much. I just hope that they can be healthy and safe. My children are legitimate, so no one can fight with them over inheritance.”
The children of the concubines had no right to inheritance.
Sun Yarou rubbed her forehead. “Miss Liu, take your time to eat. Rest early tonight. Tomorrow morning, Huai will pay his respects to me when he comes back from school. You’ll be able to see him then.”
Sun Yarou had no appetite at all. She stood up and left after excusing herself.
Liu Sanniang did not eat much. After traveling for two days and two nights, she was also tired. The people in Yuezhou prefered bland food, but she didn’t like it.
Most people in Yong County liked spicy food.
She had grown up in Yong County and was used to the flavors there. Now that she was suddenly in Yuezhou, she could not quite get used to it.
Chu Yan didn’t eat much either. Liu Sanniang thought to herself that she should make her own food.
This was the first time she left home and slept in an unfamiliar place. Liu Sanniang could not sleep at night…
She missed her parents, her home, and everything in it.
The next day, Liu Sanniang woke up very early. The maidservants in the residence were already busy.
Liu Sanniang washed up, changed her clothes, and went out.
Coincidentally, as soon as she opened the door, Chu Yan came out.
Liu Sanniang couldn’t help but mutter. “What a coincidence.”
It was as if he knew when she would come out.
Not long after, a servant brought breakfast. There were ten different options put on the table.
The servant girl looked at Liu Sanniang and introduced with a smile. “Miss Liu, this is what Madam instructed the kitchen to make. These are all specialties of our Yuezhou. You probably haven’t tried them before.”
Liu Sanniang nodded. “Yes, I haven’t.”
Ten types of breakfast. They were exquisite and tasted very good.
After eating, the servant girl came to call Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan. She said that Zhao Anhuai had returned from school and was greeting Sun Yarou with his siblings in the courtyard.
Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan stood up and followed her to the main courtyard.
In the main courtyard, Sun Yarou was combing her daughter’s hair.
Her expression was gentle. When Zhao Anhuai came to greet her, she did not speak. If she did not speak, Zhao Anhuai would not move. He waited quietly with a calm expression, not looking impatient at all.
When Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan entered, they saw Zhao Anhuai, who was wearing a white brocade robe, standing quietly at the side. He nodded politely at Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan.
After Sun Yarou put a jade hairpin on Zhao Anan’s head, she patted her shoulder and said, “Go and practice the Guqin.”
Zhao Anan stood up. Her light yellow dress was very beautiful. She smiled and twirled around Zhao Anhuai. “Brother, do I look good?”
Zhao Anhuai smiled gently. “Yes, as good as always.”
Zhao Anan left happily, and her servants immediately followed.
Sun Yarou glanced at Zhao Anhuai and felt flustered again. Nothing had changed about her son, but she felt that this was not her son.
Zhao Anhuai looked at Liu Sanniang, then at Sun Yarou, and said politely, “Mother, I’ll leave too.”
Sun Yarou subconsciously looked at Liu Sanniang.
Liu Sanniang nodded slightly, and Sun Yarou said, “Yes, off you go.”
After receiving Sun Yarou’s order, Zhao Anhuai left before giving Chu Yan and Liu Sanniang a smile.
Sun Yarou watched Zhao Anhuai leave the courtyard before asking, “Miss Liu, how is it?”
Liu Sanniang said, “He’s very guarded and doesn’t reveal anything.”
Though Zhao Anhuai had a smile on his face, his heart was like a strong fortress that would not reveal anything to outsiders.
Sun Yarou asked nervously. “Then, is he my son?”
Sun Yarou asked with difficulty. She was actually afraid. If this was not her son, then where was her child?
She didn’t dare to think about it at all, but every time she saw Zhao Anhuai, she couldn’t get rid of the feeling of panic. Seeing Zhao Anhuai call her mother and smile at her, she felt a chill run down her spine.
Liu Sanniang understood Sun Yarou’s anxiety. She said, “Madam, can I see his servants? I can figure it out by reading his servant first.”
Although she couldn’t read Zhao Anhuai’s mind, it shouldn’t be a problem to read a servant.
Sun Yarou immediately replied. “Sure.”
Sun Yarou instructed her servant girl, “Chun Mei, go and get Zhao Sheng, who is serving Eldest Young Master.”
The servant girl called Chunmei frowned. “Madam, if Master finds out…”
Sun Yarou’s eyes turned fierce. “If Master blames you, I’ll bear the consequences myself.”
Chun Mei was a little hesitant. “Madam, if you keep doing this, you’ll hurt Eldest Young Master.”
Sun Yarou closed her eyes. “Just do as I say. I know what I’m doing. I don’t need you to remind me.”
With worried eyes, Chunmei turned and went down.
Sun Yarou opened her eyes and said to Liu Sanniang slowly, “About two months ago, I felt that Anhuai had been swapped. My husband invited a master to take a look as well as someone from the famous Cloud Breaking Sect in the capital. They all said that there was nothing wrong with him.”
In the beginning, in order to reassure his wife, Zhao Fengyun even took the initiative to invite some masters to take a look. However, Sun Yarou had always felt that her eldest son had been swapped. As time passed, Zhao Fengyun became impatient with her.
