Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 228

Sheng Fei noticed Lu Ting’s hesitation and thought it might be a tricky matter.

“What’s wrong? If it’s not business, then it must be a family issue. Are you talking about those five children? What’s going on with them?

Although the eldest brother wants to earn money on his own now, I’m always keeping an eye on his safety. If you think I’m not taking care of them well, you can be at ease.

I treat them as if they were my own children. If there’s something else, or if you think their living expenses are insufficient, you don’t need to worry about that because I can earn money now. Is there anything else you’re worried about?”

Did Lu Ting think she wasn’t taking good care of the five children and wanted her to leave?

Sheng Fei could now make money and support herself. Technically speaking, it wouldn’t matter if she left.

She had already formed a good bond with the five children, and even if she left, they would be fine.

However, the children were still too young, and Sheng Fei couldn’t bear to leave them.

Moreover, she felt a deep emotional connection to them, almost like they were her own children. If she were to leave now, she would be truly reluctant.

Seeing Lu Ting so hesitant only deepened her suspicions.

“Lu Ting, what do you mean? Are you trying to drive me crazy? Is it about the five children?”

“I do want to talk to you about the children, but I’m not sure how to say it yet. Let me think about it and I’ll tell you later.”

Lu Ting closed his eyes and then got up to clear the dishes from the table.

Lu Ting’s hesitation and reluctance to share anything made Sheng Fei uneasy. Did Lu Ting think she wasn’t taking good care of the children and want her gone?

Sheng Fei felt unhappy about it. After asking him a few times and not getting an answer, she decided to go back to her room alone.

After Sheng Fei left, Lu Ting felt it was better to tell her about the matter.

Although it didn’t directly involve Sheng Fei, informing her would show respect.

The two didn’t communicate at all that night.

The next morning when Sheng Fei got up, she looked a bit listless.

Lu Chen noticed she seemed a bit dizzy and that when she picked up food, she added a red chili. She was obviously distracted.

“Auntie, is there something wrong? Didn’t you sleep well or are you feeling unwell? Please don’t push yourself too hard.”

“Yeah, Auntie, look at those dark circles under your eyes. What’s going on?”

“Auntie, have you not been resting well recently? If you feel unwell, should I ask Uncle to take you to the clinic? Money can be earned anytime, but your health is the top priority.”

“That’s right. I’ll go to the county with Auntie every day. Don’t worry, Auntie, I can keep you company at the clinic. Even though I’m small, I can still be there for you.”

Hearing Lu Chen, Lu Ye, and Lu Yang all expressing their concern for Sheng Fei, Lu Yu rushed to show concern for Sheng Fei.

Lu Yu felt a surge of responsibility. He walked over to Sheng Fei, took her hand, and then hugged her leg, shaking it gently to remind her not to forget about him.
