Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 84

Zhang Huzi saw that Sheng Fei had finally returned home, and he smiled and scratched his head.

“Aunt Sheng, you’re back.”

“Yes, have you been taking good care of Xiaowu at home today?”

Sheng Fei poked Zhang Huzi’s nose, and Zhang Huzi smiled sheepishly. Behind him was Lu Xiaowu. Lu Xiaowu’s relationship with Zhang Huzi had progressed by leaps and bounds recently, with the two often playing together.

Moreover, Zhang Huzi was very sensible and only knew to give way to Lu Xiaowu.

Whenever Lu Xiaowu wanted to play something, it was always Zhang Huzi accompanying him.

“Yes, Brother Huzi takes good care of me, and I feel very happy whenever I’m with Brother Huzi.”

Lu Xiaowu happily praised Zhang Huzi. When the two were together, Lu Xiaowu seemed to talk more.

And Zhang Huzi would not be so introverted either. The two of them accompanied each other, and the house would not feel boring.

“That’s good, I’ll go cook now.”

Lu Ting’s legs were initially numb, but now he could feel a tingling sensation, which meant that the scars in his legs were gradually healing.

Lu Ting would occasionally come out with a crutch to bask in the sun.

He always felt particularly comfortable watching the sun.

When Lu Ting was basking in the sun, Zhang Huzi and Lu Xiaowu would stand next to Lu Ting and chat with him.

“Uncle Lu, when will your leg get better?”

Zhang Huzi pinched Lu Ting’s calf. Lu Ting smiled and moved his leg.

“It will probably take some time, Huzi. I heard that the reason you moved in was that Sheng Fei wanted to help treat your illness.”

Zhang Huzi knew that Lu Ting was a member of the Lu family, so he told him the truth.

“Yes, Aunt Sheng said she can cure me, because one of my ears was burned and I can’t hear. Sheng Fei said she can fix my ear and make me hear clearly, so that’s why my mom let me move in.

I really want to live here. I won’t be disturbing you, Uncle Lu, please?”

Zhang Huzi thought that Lu Ting was asking him when he would leave.

But Zhang Huzi didn’t want to leave now, and he couldn’t leave either.

“Huzi, sometimes you don’t have to be so cautious. Now that you’re living in the Lu family, you’re a little guest of the Lu family. What host would chase away their guest? Just stay here at ease.

Since Sheng Fei said she can cure you, you can believe her. Don’t worry, if you ever feel uncomfortable anywhere, just tell Sheng Fei. Since she said she can cure you, then she can.”

Last time when Sheng Fei pretended to knock him out with medicine, Lu Ting was still somewhat aware. He knew that Sheng Fei’s special ability was hidden.

Although he didn’t know why Sheng Fei was hiding it.

But since Sheng Fei didn’t say anything, Lu Ting just acted like he didn’t know.

The two got along with each other very tacitly.

“I also believe Aunt Sheng won’t lie to me. Recently, I feel like my head has been feeling especially comfortable. I can sleep very well every time.”

Lu Ting suddenly wanted to know how Sheng Fei was treating Zhang Huzi, so he deliberately lowered his head to let Zhao Huzi come closer.

“Huzi, come here.”

“What’s wrong, Uncle Lu?”

Zhang Huzi had no guarding mentality at all. Since Lu Ting called him, he would honestly listen to Lu Ting’s words.

“I want to ask you, I saw Sheng Fei calling you to her room. What does she do to you after you go into the room?”

Zhang Huzi thought about this and he himself also found it very strange.

Because Sheng Fei called him into the room and didn’t ask him to do anything else, but just wanted him to sleep in the room.

“Aunt Sheng, she asked me to stay in her room, just to let me sleep. Every time I stay in her room, it’s because I’m too sleepy and then I just fall asleep directly.”

“What, she’s letting you sleep?”

Lu Ting asked Zhang Huzi in a unbelievable manner, and Zhang Huzi nodded helplessly.

“I don’t know what’s going on either. Every time I go into Aunt Sheng’s room, I feel particularly sleepy and then I just fall asleep.

In a hazy state, it seems like I can feel Aunt Sheng massaging me, because my head was hurting at the time, but then it became especially comfortable and cool. It’s like the feeling of a gust of fresh wind blowing on my face.

When I woke up the next day, I was in Lu Xiaowu’s room.

But in the past when I slept, because of my own problems, I would always have nightmares all night long and couldn’t sleep well. Every time I fell asleep, I felt like terrifying things were happening.

But this time after I fell asleep, my dreams were peaceful, and I didn’t have any nightmares. It seems that Aunt Sheng is really very capable.”

Hearing Zhang Huzi say this, Lu Ting was even more puzzled.

He didn’t know what little secret Sheng Fei was hiding, but it definitely wasn’t as simple as he had imagined.

“And what else, are there any other things that made you feel different from normal or anything strange that you felt? Why is it that every time you go into Sheng Fei’s room, you can fall asleep?”

Sheng Fei let him eat sleeping pills to massage his legs.

But judging from Zhang Huzi’s words, Sheng Fei didn’t give him any drugs.

And Zhang Huzi’s bones and skeleton have not fully developed yet. He can’t keep taking those drugs that are harmful to the body.

Lu Ting thought that Sheng Fei wouldn’t let a child take such drugs every day either.

“Well, Aunt Sheng would always give me her family’s ancestral medicine pills to eat, saying that they were made from a prescription. They taste sweet, and after eating them, I would feel sleepy.

Then Aunt Sheng would also sing some lullabies in my ear to help me sleep. She said I need to fully relax my whole body so she can massage me properly.”

Lu Ting didn’t hear anything wrong with this statement. He thought maybe he was overthinking it, so he didn’t say anything further.

After he finished basking in the sun, Sheng Fei had already prepared dinner.

Today’s dishes were spicy and sour shredded potatoes and stir-fried tomatoes with eggs, as well as a large pot of congee.

The children are in the growing stage. Lu Da and Zhang Huzi have the biggest appetites, so now Sheng Fei has to cook a lot of congee every day to be able to drink it.

Recently, Sheng Fei has been busy earning money, so she is not stingy with the food. On the contrary, she has even bought new clothes for the children one after another.

Lately, Sheng Fei has been busy making money, so her relationship with these five kids is neither cold nor hot, and she’s not sure what Lu Yang is up to.

After the handkerchief that Sheng Fei gave to Lu Yang last time was thrown away, Lu Yang saw that Lu Da and even Zhang Huzi had handkerchiefs specially made for them by Sheng Fei, with their names embroidered on them.

Lu Yang felt particularly uncomfortable in her heart. These people all have handkerchiefs, why doesn’t she have one.

So Lu Yang also reluctantly went to Sheng Fei’s side. She also wants a handkerchief now.
