Chapter 464: Her Happiness
Chenglei picked up the map and went into their room when he received a letter from Seiren. He went inside and Xing just woke up from her nap.
"Xing did you see? ", he pointed at the map with his eyes shining with intrigue and Xing who was still groggy, replied with a hum rubbing her eyes.
"The United Army has split our Imperial army and made them concentrated on the South-East of Sky Province.y attacking many border cities, while the South-West borders are unattended. Right now I bet there are a batch of United Army are travelling to our South-Western borders! We are sitting ducks,Xing... Sitting ducks! ", he screamed from the top of his lungs making Xing’s ears ring.
" If you figured it out, your brother would have too", Xing said calmly and yawned.
Chenglei only then noticed she was too tired and went to get her something to eat.
’And she is right again. His brother would have noticed something so obvious. But are there troops moving? ’, chenglie pondered.
Xing on the other hand looked at the back of her husband in serious thoughts and there was a flash of regret in her eyes. The past three months in the West had made her enjoy the calmness of life. She in fact didn’t want to return to the city and get involved in politics. She was fine before but seeing the danger Xinxin was in, she was the one who got affected although she was the one who reacted first and saved him before something untoward happened to Xinxin.
’Should we put our children through this kind of? Fighting everyday? ’, she had wondered. But her children has born to this life and they must life through this. She knew even if they step away, the dangers won’t reduce.
Also in the past, She never thought, she’d be happy just taking care of the manor and the children but she was. She was peaceful and elated.After years of various struggles, she felt at rest, finally.
But Chenglei on the other hand, wasn’t that pleased. The first few days when he handled the Lei family... That was the most animated she had seen him in the past few years. He was happy like always but there was a little more of spark in his eyes.
