This time, Yuan Chun woke up in the middle of the night.

Yuan Chun’s stomach growled. She had only eaten one meal during the day, and now she was so hungry it felt like her stomach was pressed against her back. A large arm was pressing on her chest, and she angrily pushed away the arm, struggling to escape the embrace to find something to eat.

"Chunchun, where are you going?"

The man woke up and pulled her back into his arms.

Yuan Chun lay weakly on top of him and said in a muffled voice, "Chang Feng, I’m starving, really starving. I feel like I could eat a whole cow right now."

"Pfft..."

Ling Changfeng laughed.

Yuan Chun angrily clenched her small fists and hit him a few times, "It’s all your fault, and you still laugh at me."

"Yes, yes, it’s all my fault, for letting my lady go hungry. I’ll go get something for my lady to eat." Ling Changfeng let go of her, turned over, got out of bed, and brought over two plates of snacks from the table.

"Have a piece of snack first, I’ll go to the kitchen to see what else there is to eat."

"Don’t go, it’s already past midnight, you might wake the servants." Yuan Chun glanced at the large grandfather clock in the corner; the hour hand was nearly at 2.

"There are bananas in the room, have two."

The man went over to get two bananas, peeled them, and handed them to Yuan Chun.

Actually, Yuan Chun had a lot of delicious food in her space, still warm, but she couldn’t take it out in front of Ling Changfeng and had to settle for snacks and fruit to satisfy her hunger.

Fortunately, after eating two bananas and a plate of snacks, her stomach wasn’t as uncomfortable anymore.

She wiped her mouth and hands with a cloth, and Yuan Chun sleepily crawled back into bed and fell asleep.

The next day, when Yuan Chun woke up, Ling Changfeng was nowhere to be seen.

Yuan Chun hadn’t seen her eldest son for two days. After eating and drinking her fill in her room, she went to the east wing to see her son. He was awake, having just eaten, his big eyes wide open, looking around everywhere, and his mouth puckering adorably.

But in reality, he couldn’t see far.

Yuan Chun picked him up, brought her face close to him, and kissed him several times before he smiled with his little mouth curved and waved his arms and legs.

Yuan Chun played with him for a while until her eldest son couldn’t hold his head up anymore and fell asleep.

At this time, Chunmei brought a newspaper and told her, "Young Marshal’s Wife, the Chu Family is in the papers again."

Yuan Chun took it and saw that Miss Chu, Chu Pan, had been divorced.

They even made a special announcement in the newspaper.

She laughed, "Chu Meng caused such a big scandal, and it implicated Chu Pan, leading to her being divorced by her husband’s family. I wonder if Chu Pan will fight with Chu Meng when she returns to her parental home."

"Young Marshal’s Wife, you might not know, but a few days ago, Madam announced that she intended to oppose the Chu Family. Miss Chu’s husband’s family didn’t want to offend our Madam, so they divorced Miss Chu."

So, was Chu Pan divorced not because of Chu Meng?

Indeed, if it was because of Chu Meng, Chu Pan would have been divorced on the day Chu Meng’s scandal hit the papers, not waited until today.

It seems that her mother-in-law was seeking revenge for her.

Yuan Chun laughed again, delighted by her mother-in-law’s protectiveness.

Chunmei continued, "Young Marshal’s Wife, I also heard that Mr. Chu did not agree to the marriage between Second Miss Chu and Mr. Bai. Mr. Chu sent people to escort Second Miss Chu back to her hometown in Liangxi, and it was reportedly done personally by two young masters of the Chu Family."

Liangxi (present-day Wuxi) is very close to Haidu, just four and a half hours by train. Is the Chu Family trying to imitate the strategy of the Gong Family from a previous life, unable to stay in Haidu, and planning to move the whole family back to their hometown?

Chunmei hesitated for a moment before adding, "Young Marshal’s Wife, Mr. Bai was beaten by Mr. Chu’s men and thrown out of the Chu Family, and now his whereabouts are unknown."
