Clear grains of blood appeared on his exposed arms. Wangshu suppressed his pounding heartbeat and asked, "Where is the old general?" Compared with his mortal enemy, the General of the State should be more responsible for promoting the Luoyang side... It is rumored that he supports the younger generation and appoints people based on their merits. Qin Xiuyuan, who broke through his rear base and had no large family, should be more pleasing to him than his enemy of thirty years.

"Take off your armor and stay at home to recuperate."

The general became the master of Chang'an, but Qin Xiuyuan was still one step too late. Who could have thought that at the last moment it was the powerful who rebelled.

As daylight dawned, urgent letters were sent one after another to Bazhou, Jingzhou, and the southernmost region adjacent to southern Yunnan.

The plan to send troops was shelved, Qin Xiuyuan was stationed in Luoyang City, and news from Chang'an kept coming in. Wangshu was surprised that there was a sense of peacefully seizing the imperial capital. She thought that everyone would be killed, but they did not show up. Everything inside was the same as before, except that the general controlled the hungry imperial capital.

The imperial capital was too hungry. The wealthy Luoyang cut off its food supply, and Jizhou was hit by a locust plague, with almost no harvest. In the end, they were one step behind.

After many twists and turns, General Qin and Qin Xiuyuan are now the closest they have been in all these years.

The old acquaintance, the general, was probably in high spirits, and after eating the meat with big mouthfuls, he left a mouthful of soup for Qin Xiuyuan. A few days later, for the first time ever, he sent someone to send Qin Xiuyuan's mother, who had been sneaked here and used as a tool for teasing for a long time, to the city of Luoyang to show his sincerity.

Qin Xiuyuan personally led people to welcome them into the city, thanked them generously for their company, and asked them to return by the same route, not allowing them to enter Luoyang.

So, more than ten years after the marriage, there was officially a second woman in the family, a mother-in-law who was in an awkward situation but had a natural advantage in seniority.

The charming woman who was taken back by the eldest son is now thin, with a lot of white hair and deep wrinkles around the corners of her mouth and eyes. She is extremely fair and tall, with heterochromatic eyes. When the five members of the family stand together, Wangshu feels deeply that he is a tool used to bear children.

"Wangshu has met mother-in-law."

"Dabao has met grandma."

"Erbao has met grandma."

Wangshu took his two children by the hand and saluted Wang, who was sitting at the top. Wang nodded and stared at the two children, one big and one small, who were bowing slightly to salute. The two children looked at her curiously, without any fear or respect.

Without saying a word, Qin Xiuyuan picked up his beautifully dressed children, who were showered with kisses. He then instructed his wife, "Mother is tired from the journey. You should take Shushu to a safe place."

In another small courtyard, the room was clean and tidy, the beds and mattresses were new, and two maids transferred from the martial arts school were guarding the door.

"Mother-in-law, I'm a little rushed. Please see if there's anything else that needs to be bought and tell Xiaochun and Xiaoxia."

Wang looked around, and the side courtyard, after going around in circles, was still in her son's side courtyard.

The changes in daughter-in-law Ji are both big and small. She is no longer the skinny young girl she used to be. Now she has the figure of a graceful and mature woman. However, her expression, behavior and appearance have not changed much. She is frivolous and unstable, which shows how much her son dotes on her.

The little girl whom he originally thought would die soon is now his son's only wife and has given birth to a pair of children. What a blessing!

"Ji, your health has improved a lot over the years." Wang thought that she was only in her early fifties, but her face looked haggard.

Wangshu replied obediently, "My pain has lessened. Mother-in-law, would you like to have dinner first or rest for a while?"

"Let's eat." Wang then asked, "I have aged a lot, haven't I?"

Wangshu looked at his mother-in-law standing right before him. Needless to say, she'd been through a lot in recent years, and time had aged her rapidly. The first sight had frightened her. "Luoyang has so many cosmetics and skincare recipes. I'm sure she'll be able to recover."

The atmosphere at dinner was awkward. The bib-wearing child, clumsy with chopsticks, kept pestering his father, asking for food, meat and vegetables. Qin Xiuyuan delighted in the process, removing the bones and thorns, shredding the food and placing it on a small plate. From time to time, he would pick up food for Wang Shi, saying, "Mom, this is Luoyang steamed meat."

The early autumn heat was still there. Although the evening breeze was cool, my appetite didn't improve. Wangshu had a small portion of sour soup dumplings and drank them slowly, one spoonful at a time.

He held the chewy meatball in his long arms and fed it to his mouth steadily. "No." The meatball insisted on being fed. Wangshu narrowed his eyes at the man and reluctantly opened his mouth to take a bite.

But there was half a bowl of dry dumplings left, and Wangshu pushed it to the man in charge of the clean plate campaign. Wang watched her son eat up all the dumplings left by her daughter-in-law, feeling mixed emotions.

His father used to do the same thing, pouring all the leftovers of his wife and children into his own big bowl without any complaints.

The man carried his children all the way to his mother's yard, sat for a while, told them stories, and returned to his room, his face still as usual.

"Have you asked Xiao Eleven?" Wangshu sighed, his heart tense as he thought of this strange mother-in-law.

"In Chang'an. Cousin..." She paused, "Didn't she have several children with the general? She might come over."

Hmm? Wangshu was confused. "Come here? Why?" She had heard that Wang Jing was with a stud, but she didn't know about his child.

"Ahem, they said she was cheating on me."

Scared? Wangshu was overwhelmed, what was going on?

"I don't know either. It is rumored that she has an affair with someone." Qin Xiuyuan was very reluctant to listen to or talk about these shameful things. If a woman heard too much of such things, she would probably think too much about it. What's more, the child is still young and cannot bear to hear such dirty things.

"I will find her another place to live."

Disgraceful with others? The more she listened, the more confused she became. "There is a man in the backyard?" She remembered that there was no man in the general's backyard. Then Wang Jing was silent and conservative, so how dare he cheat on someone?

"The twin daughters she gave birth to later had one black eye and one green eye. It's hard to explain."

Oh my god, one is black and the other is green... The general is a pure Han Chinese. Wangshu's head hurts. Wang Jing has no foreign blood. His parents are pure Han Chinese, because Wang was adopted and raised as a daughter. Genetic mutation?

"Are those two kids coming over too?" Wangshu rubbed his face. Seeing the man was unhappy and silent, he didn't have many relatives, but it was really a mess. He leaned against him and said, "As long as they don't have bad intentions, give them a place to stay."

"Ouch!" Wangshu felt a pain in his waist.

Qin Xiuyuan, who accidentally pinched the woman, quickly recovered and rubbed her skin, complaining aggrievedly: "Shushu, they threw dirty water on me."

The moment I heard that she had no doubt about me at all, I just wanted to crush her into pieces a thousand times and swallow her into my stomach to hide her away.

"How did you splash it?" Feeling his emotional fluctuations, Wangshu gossiped.

"They said I traveled thousands of miles back to steal a woman..." Qin Xiuyuan was not afraid of her laughing at him. He was too tolerant to tolerate this. "It was the winter when I returned to Yongzhou to pick you up, Shushu..."

At that time, he was eager to leave Yongzhou and return to Jingcheng overnight. How could he dare to return to Yaocheng with ulterior motives and have an affair with his cousin?

Wangshu laughed, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. It's definitely not you. There are many barbarians outside Yaocheng. There is no need for my husband to travel thousands of miles to the backyard to give him a stick."

Give it to Bang Bang…? ? ? Qin Xiuyuan: …I didn’t care about the teasing in her words.

There are many Hu people, no intention to say a word. Qin Xiuyuan seemed to be thinking about something, and Wangshu himself paused. Green eyes are a dominant gene. "What are the other characteristics of the green-eyed baby?"
