He’s always worried about the four little ones, thinking that they suffered from trauma during their childhood. These days, they’ve gotten extroverted, lively, and cute. If they continue to grow up this happily, they will become warm and pleasant adults.

Xie Yunjin’s gaze landed on Lu Jiao. This woman’s slightly chubby face was getting more and more dimensional. The collected and confident demeanor that appeared while she smiled reflected light onto his heart.

The children she educates will for sure grow up proper, bright, and intelligent.

At that moment, Xie Yunjin had thoughts of grasping Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao looked at how overly excited the four children were and chuckled, “Okay, come out now and have your bath. Let your daddy rest. Your daddy needs lots of sleep.”

The four little ones nodded, “Then, daddy, rest well. We’ll go take a bath.”

Xie Yunjin nodded. Just as Lu Jiao gathered the kids, Xie Erzhu arrived, “Third sister-in-law.”

“Second brother.”

Xie Erzhu nodded. He wasn’t as scared of this woman as before. Though she’s proven herself to be tough and sometimes overbearing, Xie Erzhu realized that she was a good person and she never acted unreasonably.

Xie Erzhu entered the room and Lu Jiao tried to lead the children to the yard.

However, the children were far too thrilled and refused to stop playing with their toys.

Lu Jiao let them be. She went to the kitchen and boiled a giant pot of water.

“Okay, it’s late now. Play tomorrow.”

The four little ones were exceptionally obedient these days. Their respect towards their mother was bone deep.

Lu Jiao bathed the four little ones, changed them into pajamas, and brought them to the west bedroom for story time.

When the mother and children got to the living room, they heard Xie Erzhu speak.

“Third brother, I noticed mother and first sister-in-law are being sketchy. I think they might be plotting something against you. You should be careful.”

Xie Yunjin’s crisp voice followed, “Thanks Second Brother, I got it.”

Lu Jiao gestured for the children to go wait in the west bedroom. She paid the east bedroom a visit.

The four little ones went to wait in bed. Lu Jiao went to ask Xie Erzhu, “Second Brother, what do mother and first sister-in-law want?”

Xie Erzhu shook his head, “I don’t know. I heard them mention third brother. They were whispering so I didn’t hear it well.”

Lu Jiao frowned in exasperation. She was truly sick and tired of having Lady Ruan as her mother-in-law. Not only did she highly overestimate herself, but she was also as stupid as a brick.

Instead of fixing her relationship with her son, she continued to make decisions that worsened things. Did she really believe her son hasn’t changed? The way she brought up trouble every day will only force more distance between her son and her.

Lu Jiao didn’t really care about that – she simply wanted three peaceful months. Just what could she do to make Lady Ruan quiet down? If she schemed against Lady Ruan, would Xie Yunjin get mad at her?

Lu Jiao shot Xie Yunjin a complex look.

Xie Yunjin knew right away what Lu Jiao was thinking. That woman had some tricks up her sleeves and she was honestly very kind at heart. This made it impossible for her to hide her emotions. Any smart and observant person would notice what she was thinking.

Xie Yunjin couldn’t help but think that if she left his side, she may fall for others’ traps. Therefore, to repay her for raising his boys, he should keep her by his side.

Xie Yunjin noticed the cold atmosphere and quickly said, “Perhaps I’m overthinking it. Don’t worry too much.”

Lu Jiao shook her head, “It’s okay, Second Brother.”

Lu Jiao grabbed a handful of candy and gave them to Xie Erzhu, “Take these and give them to Daya and Erya.”

Xie Yunjin didn’t decline. By now, he was aware of Lu Jiao’s personality. If she wanted you to have something, she truly meant it. If she didn’t want you to have something, there was no way you could get it. There was no need for him to be overly polite with her.

“Thank you.”

Xie Erzhu had already helped Xie Yunjin use the washroom so he got up and left. Seeing how late it was, Lu Jiao urged, “Try to sleep early.”

She turned to leave, but Xie Yunjin stopped her.

“Lu Jiao.”

Lu Jiao turned her head in time for Xie Yunjin to say, “Come closer, I want to tell you something.”

Lu Jiao walked up to him, “Yes?”

Xie Yunjin looked up at her. Under the dim light, his eyes were as dark as ink and as quiet as a pond.

Lu Jiao was a little stunned at the sight. They all say beauties look exceptionally pretty under candlelight. Xie Yunjin was already as handsome as a painting; the glowing warm light only exaggerated his handsomeness and softened his hard edges.

Xie Yunjin caught Lu Jiao staring. Not only was he not annoyed, but he was also happy.

He didn’t notice how abnormal it was for him to feel this way and opened his mouth, “You don’t want my mother to plot against us anymore, do you?”

Lu Jiao nodded furiously, “I want my days to be peaceful.”

She just wanted to take care of the four little ones and him.

Xie Yunjin understood and whispered back, “I have an idea. Let me teach you what you can do.”

Lu Jiao subconsciously inched in closer. Xie Yunjin’s lips curled up as he continued in a low voice, “Do you know the widow, Wang Cuihua?”

Lu Jiao searched her memories. There truly was that widow in this village. She was rather young – only 27 or 28.

Widow Wang married into the Xie family with the purpose of saving a sick man’s life by giving him a wedding to counteract bad luck. However, the night she married, the man died.

The villagers spread the gossip that she brought misfortune with her. Despite those rumors, many men in the village had relations with her.

This woman lived right next to Aunt Guihua. Lu Jiao heard that Aunt Guihua was terrified that Widow Wang would seduce her husband so she kept her eyes on her man like a hawk.

“I know her. She’s Aunt Guihua’s neighbor.”

Xie Yunjin’s lips curled slightly, “If that woman becomes a part of the Xie family, do you think my mother would still have the energy to spend time with us?”

Lu Jiao stared at Xie Yunjin in horror, “You want your dad to marry Widow Wang?”

Xie Yunjin was speechless, “You want a widow to go above me and be my mother?”

“What do you mean by this then?”

Lu Jiao wasn’t sure what he was thinking.

Xie Yunjin lightly glanced at her. This woman was just as he expected her to be – capable but not calculative. Therefore, it was probably better for him to keep her by his side so he could take care of her.

“That widow’s been trying to find a family to marry into for a long time now. If she ends up in my family, she would be a happier concubine here than being a wife elsewhere. If she knew that would be the case, would she think twice?”

Lu Jiao was speechless. So he was scheming against his mother? If that young Widow Wang got into the Xie family, his mother would go delirious. However, it was true that if that were to happen, his mother wouldn’t have the time to cause any more trouble.
