Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 330

Sheng Fei noticed that Lu Ting had been distracted lately and thought he might be dealing with some difficult issues. So, she took the initiative to pat Lu Ting on the shoulder and asked him what was wrong.

How come Lu Ting seemed to be distracted lately? It was as if there was something wrong with him, and he wasn’t in the right condition.

“Lu Ting, Lu Ting, what’s going on? You seem out of shape. Is there something wrong? What are you thinking about? How about you tell me about it? If you’re unhappy or have something on your mind, feel free to share it with me. I completely support your ideas and understand your feelings. You see, you seem to be doing your own thing without talking to me much lately.”

“Oh, it’s nothing. I’m just thinking about the house. Don’t worry, when I finish looking, I’ll take you to see it. I’ve been a bit tired lately, so I think I’ll head back to rest first.”

After saying this, Lu Ting looked a bit disappointed and went back to his room to rest.

Seeing Lu Ting’s listless appearance, Sheng Fei shrugged, unsure of what was going on with him.

However, Sheng Fei didn’t say anything further. She just felt that Lu Ting was acting strangely these days, but she couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was off.

Lu Ting’s odd attitude didn’t diminish Sheng Fei’s enthusiasm. Besides the house issue, there was also the matter of Lu Sanya.

Recently, Lu Da’s academic performance had been steadily improving. Besides Lu Da and Lu Er, the other children had also performed very well after an exam. The teacher wanted to visit their home to discuss how Sheng Fei was teaching them.

This was the same Teacher Xu mentioned by the children when voting last time—Xu Mingda.

Xu Mingda was a young man. When Lu Sanya mentioned that he would be visiting, Sheng Fei prepared dinner, planning to invite Teacher Xu over that evening.

When she met Xu Mingda, Sheng Fei smiled at him. This Xu Mingda was indeed a promising young man.

The whole person appeared very gentle and fair-skinned, with spotlessly white teeth.

Upon seeing Sheng Fei, he happily shook her hand and entered the courtyard.

After surveying the place, Xu Mingda realized that the five children’s home seemed even more rundown compared to others.

He had thought that a family capable of raising five children must be relatively well-off.

However, the courtyard now looked just tidy enough, with many old items scattered around.

Sheng Fei and Lu Ting believed that as long as things were usable, they didn’t need to replace them with new ones, especially since they lived in the countryside. If they suddenly brought in expensive items, it would surely attract envy.

They weren’t afraid of thieves stealing, they were more concerned about attracting unwanted attention.

So even if they earned money, they didn’t replace their belongings with anything particularly flashy, something the teacher didn’t quite understand.

Sheng Fei didn’t explain this to the teacher but welcomed him inside instead. Once inside, Lu Sanya served him a cup of tea.

Lu Da brought out some fruits for Xu Mingda to eat.

Xu Mingda was a bit taken aback, not expecting them to have fruits at home. In these times, fruits were quite a rarity.

He quickly expressed his thanks. Sheng Fei was already seated across from Xu Mingda, looking neatly dressed.
