New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

As soon as Mu Yunzhi approached, Madam Mu could not wait to hug her granddaughter tightly. The joy of reunion after a long separation surged into her heart like a tide, filling her heart with endless tenderness. Her big hands, covered with traces of time, gently patted her granddaughter's back, as if she wanted to convey her deep love and pity for her granddaughter in this way.

This child, her fate is really full of twists and turns! For so many years, she has never been able to live at home for a long time. When she was only 18 years old, she wanted to return home to reunite, but unexpectedly, she was forced to leave for three years. Now she has finally returned after going through untold hardships, but not long after, she is facing the situation of getting married. Such a situation really makes people feel pity!

Madam Mu stared at her daughter who was gradually growing up, and the tears in her eyes fell one by one like beads that had broken off the string. That was her precious daughter whom she had worked hard to carry for ten months and had been looking forward to with joy, but she had not had the chance to give her enough love and care, and now she was about to marry. When she thought of this, Madam Mu's heart felt like it was being gnawed by thousands of ants and was in unbearable pain.

At this time, Mu Yunhua, the eldest son of the Mu family, also stared at his sister whom he had not seen for a long time, his eyes full of joy at finally being able to meet again. However, his wife Liu Yunxi, who was standing next to him, could not help but feel a little worried. It turned out that since she married into the Mu family, she often heard that there was an eldest daughter in the family who was sent to another place for recuperation due to illness. However, since she entered the family, she has never had the chance to meet this sister-in-law who is loved by the whole family but has difficulty returning home.

She had been worried since she heard that her sister-in-law had gone out to explore the world. Now that she knew that her sister-in-law had returned, she was even more uneasy. She was really worried that after experiencing the ups and downs of life, her sister-in-law's personality would become unpredictable and difficult to get along with. With such worries and a little nervousness, she held her three-year-old son tightly. The little guy was staring at the front with a pair of big black eyes, full of curiosity.

She bent down slightly, gently held the child in her arms, and introduced him in a low voice: "Cheng'er, look over there, that's your aunt."

Three-year-old Makoto Kogure blinked his big watery eyes, his gaze fixed on the girl in his great-grandmother's arms. He opened his mouth slightly and muttered, "Aunt is so beautiful!" His childish words made people laugh.

Mu Yunzhi actually knew in her heart that her parents and other family members doted on her. And not only at home, but even at her grandfather's house, everyone loved her and cared for her. However, even though she already knew this, when she left home for three years without telling anyone, she suddenly came back and found that her grandmother and other relatives were all waiting at the door. How could this scene not make Mu Yunzhi feel overwhelmed and moved?

She slowly raised her hand and gently patted the wrinkled but still warm back of her grandmother's hand. Her eyes were already wet and tears were welling up, but her face was blooming with a flower-like smile, and she said coquettishly, "Grandma, let's go home quickly."

Madam Mu gently wiped away the crystal tears from the corners of her eyes, a smile as warm as the spring sun blossomed on her face, and she said with a slightly choked voice: "Okay, okay, let's go home. Our Zhizhi can finally go home!"

Thinking back to her childhood, if Zhizhi had not been weak and sickly and unable to stay in the capital to recuperate, with her clever and lovable appearance, she would have definitely become the apple of the eye of the entire Mu family, held in the palm of their hands and cared for with all their heart.

The old lady slowly loosened her arms that were tightly hugging her granddaughter, and gently took Mu Yunzhi's soft little hand. At this time, Mu Yunzhi also looked over, and saw his mother standing not far away, gazing at him lovingly; his eldest brother stood upright beside him, his eyes full of joy and excitement; next to him, there was the gentle and dignified sister-in-law, who was holding a delicate little boy in her arms, thinking that it must be his lovely little nephew.

Mu Yunzhi walked forward happily and greeted everyone one by one. She first came to her mother and said in a tender voice: "Mom, I am an unfilial daughter who made you worry for so long. Now I am back." After that, she walked forward and hugged her mother, then let go of her hand and turned to her eldest brother, smiling like a flower, "Brother, long time no see, I am back, my sister"

After she finished speaking, her eyes fell on the slightly nervous woman. She saw that she was pretty and gentle. Mu Yunzhi understood what she meant, so she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a mischievous smile, and asked jokingly: "This beautiful sister must be my gentle, elegant and beautiful sister-in-law who is rumored to be gentle and elegant? And this clever and cute little guy must be my little nephew Cheng'er! Hello, I am Mu Yunzhi."

As the family was immersed in the joy of reunion, Mu Yunzhi suddenly recalled the carriage she had taken on the way home. Her father, Mu Chenke, had been riding a tall horse beside her and had been telling her about all the things that had happened in the family over the years. Those warm and interesting past events were like vivid and lively paintings, slowly unfolding before her eyes...

Four years ago, her eldest brother and his wife got married. She didn't have time to attend the wedding at that time, so she sent someone to send a gift home. Three years ago, when she was about to return to the capital, she escaped from the marriage temporarily and had never met her eldest sister-in-law, so she only found out about her nephew not long ago.

However, in the past few years, despite the distance, she has never forgotten the deep emotional bond between her and her family. Every once in a while, she would write a letter full of longing and send it to her distant hometown to report her recent situation and the news of her safety.

When the parents received these letters, they were relieved to know that their daughter was doing well and safe. They knew that their daughter had grown up and had her own life, so they did not control her too much, but repeatedly reminded her to take care of herself.

After all, she had been relatively weak since she was a child, which was worrying. Although she lived a free and easy life at her grandfather's house, her physical condition has improved significantly now, and she can bravely embark on the road of martial arts to pursue her dreams. As parents, they are certainly very pleased, but they hope that she can live a happy and worry-free life.

As soon as these words came out, the crowd, who were originally immersed in joy and excitement, suddenly turned from sadness to joy and burst into laughter. Everyone's eyes were focused on the clever and playful little girl in front of them, their eyes full of love and joy.

Even Liu Yunxi, who was always thoughtful, completely relaxed in her heart when she looked at Mu Yunzhi's innocent face. After a short time together, she secretly felt that this sister-in-law who had not yet married into the family was very cheerful and easy-going, and she believed that they would be able to live in harmony in the future.

At this moment, the cute little guy Mu Cheng noticed that his aunt was looking at him. Instead of being afraid, he generously opened his pink little hands and babbled "hug" like a baby, looking like he couldn't wait to be in his aunt's arms. Seeing this, Mu Yunzhi's heart was instantly melted, and he felt his whole heart become soft.

She quickly reached out to take the little guy and held him in her arms, but she was still a little unfamiliar with holding a child as it was her first time and almost dropped him. It was Liu Yunxi who stepped forward to teach her before she was able to hold the child steadily.

In this way, the family happily surrounded Mu Yunzhi and walked slowly towards the door of the house. There was constant laughter and joy along the way. After returning home, everyone learned a frustrating news from Mu Chenke: It turned out that next month, she was going to formally sign an engagement with the Fifth Prince, and planned to hold a grand wedding in two years.

This decision made Mrs. Mu feel reluctant, but she changed her mind and thought that her granddaughter could stay at home for at least two more years, which was not bad! So, Mrs. Mu secretly made up her mind to take advantage of this time to make up for her granddaughter as much as possible and give her more love and care.

At this moment, everyone gathered around Mu Yunzhi, asking her about her well-being and showing her great concern.

Mu Yunzhi felt the strong warmth of family love with great joy. She couldn't help but think silently in her heart: "I am so happy! It is a great blessing in life to have such a group of family members who love me so much!" This feeling of happiness was like a clear spring, flowing continuously into her heart and nourishing her soft soul.

However, she did not forget to give her family the gifts she had prepared long ago, which made those who received the gifts laugh out loud.
