Old Mrs. Mo held Xiangxiang in her arms, facing inward.

She asked with concern, "What's wrong with my nephew? Did he go to burn charcoal?"

Xiao Xiangming said, "I have nothing to do, so I went to the mountains. I stayed at the home of the hunter who saved me last time and learned hunting from him. I have to get up where I fell. I don't believe I can't even catch a wild boar!"

When Mo Chenxi heard him speak, she began to suspect that he had traveled through time.

Old Madam Mo said worriedly, "What if she falls in love with you? Don't agree. You already have a wife and children at home."

Shang Yuanwu laughed at the side, and Xiao Xiangming said: "No, at the beginning, the hunter was wary of me like a thief. He refused to accept my gifts and would not let me in. He said with a sullen face that I should not come again. I was puzzled. I have no grudge against him. He even saved my life. I asked him to teach me hunting, so why did he treat me like this?

"It was Yuanwu who told him that I had a wife and children, and that my wife was very powerful and would not allow me to take a concubine or find other women, threatening to break my legs. Only then did the hunter let me in."

Mo Chenxi also laughed. The hunter was afraid that he would seduce his daughter.

Xiao Xiangming glared at the smiling Shang Yuanwu, "You're still laughing. Did my wife ever say that? It makes me sound like I'm afraid of my wife."

Old Madam Mo looked Xiao Xiangming up and down and said, "If my daughter or granddaughter married you, I wouldn't feel at ease. It's not that you seduce others, but I'm afraid that others will seduce you.

She was familiar with them, so she spoke in a joking manner, and it was also a compliment to Xiao Xiangming's good looks.

Xiao Xiangming looked embarrassed, Shang Yuanwu was laughing so hard but didn't dare to laugh out loud, and just shrugged his shoulders.

Mo Chenxi knew from the scene that they had a lot of fun on the mountain.

Xiao Xiangming said: "The hunter only has one daughter, his wife ran away with someone else."

Mrs. Mo and Mo Chenxi, who were listening, thought that it was no wonder that the hunter was wary of Xiao Xiangming like a thief at the beginning. He was afraid that his daughter would run away with someone again.

Xiao Xiangming continued, "He had no sons, only one daughter, and he wanted to find a live-in son-in-law. Coincidentally, there was a hunter in the mountains who had four sons, so he sent the third son to his family as a live-in son-in-law."

Shang Yuanwu laughed again, and Old Madam Mo laughed too, "Is that live-in son-in-law also wary of you like a thief?"

Xiao Xiangming clicked his tongue twice, "I don't have the heart or the guts to do that. Auntie, you've met Lieutenant General Liao, Liao Fujiang, right? That live-in son-in-law is just like Lieutenant General Liao, he can run five miles with a wild boar on his back. If I provoke him, he can punch me in the guts."

Mo Chenxi was a little worried. If he beat his wife with this physique, who could withstand it unless he was trained like Mrs. Wang Huilan?

She asked worriedly, "Do the hunters in those mountains beat their wives?"

Xiao Xiangming asked curiously, "Why do you want to beat your wife?"

After asking, I understood what Mrs. Mo meant. She meant that the son-in-law was so big and strong that if he beat his wife, not only women but also men would not be able to bear it.

"He's very kind to the hunter's daughter. He's always been around her even before she got married. I've been to his house, and his brothers are all as big and strong as he is. I saw his mother scolding their father and ordering them around to work, and she didn't seem to be getting bullied."

Mo Chenxi thought of a Korean drama she had watched, in which a family had four unmarried sons and the mother was yelling at them every day.

Shang Yuanwu said, "Hunters in the mountains have a harder time finding wives than farmers. Marrying a wife carries on the family line and gives birth to children. The women are responsible for cleaning up the game, so it's rare for them to beat their wives. Hunters usually marry other hunters, so if someone beats his wife, he has to consider his father-in-law, his elder brother-in-law, and his younger brothers-in-law to see if he can win."

Xiao Xiangming added, "Exactly. The hunter who saved me said he was the most skilled hunter on that mountain. After his wife ran off with someone, he never married and raised his daughter. Someone introduced her to him, but he was afraid the stepmother would treat her badly and didn't agree. He's still young and strong, so his daughter will live with him after she gets married. The son-in-law wouldn't dare treat her badly. He'll be old and his grandson will be grown up."

What he meant was that if the son-in-law dared to take action, then if his son was as big and strong as him, he would not dare to treat his wife badly.

Mo Chenxi breathed a sigh of relief. Although it had nothing to do with her and she didn't know the person, as a woman herself, she was a little worried. She knew that in ancient times some families did not treat their daughters-in-law as human beings.

Xiao Xiangming added: "He got to know me and is my savior. Not to mention being a live-in son-in-law, even the village head in the mountains treats his family with respect."

He couldn't go anywhere for the past few months, nor could he run around in the capital, so he and Shang Yuanwu learned hunting in the mountains.

He originally had fair skin, but now he is tanned very dark, so the contrast is even greater than Shang Yuanwu's. After coming back, Xiangxiang covered her eyes and said she was scared when she saw him.

Brother Nie Chengping and his family went to the Wang family in the city. Xiao Jingming and Shang Yuanwu did not go. Old Lady Mo and Mo Chenxi talked to them and then returned to the capital.

At the new house where the Empress Dowager's second uncle Wang Shibo moved, Wang Jingye's family and Nie Chengping's brothers celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival together.

Wang Shibo looked at Nie Chengping. He had heard about the Zhong family when he came to the capital. He definitely knew about the Nie family's affairs that people in the capital didn't know about, so he didn't think that Nie Chengping just looked like Zhong Hanlin, although he had never met Zhong Hanlin.

He was also puzzled as to why he let them stay in the future. Not only that, his old wife entered the palace, and his niece hinted that his granddaughter should marry in the capital, and she also asked his second son and his family to move to the capital, including his eldest brother's second son and his family.

Is my niece going to use her family members?

Did you wait until your grandfather passed away before you started to reuse your mother's family?

Wang Shibo didn't want to do this, but he couldn't disobey.

After his mother passed away, he never had a happy life. His father arranged things for him, and when he was old, his father arranged things for him again.

My mother once said when she was alive: it’s all fate.

He looked at Wang Jingye again, wondering how his niece would arrange for her nephew, who was closer to the empress dowager than her brother and the empress dowager.

Wang Jingye didn't know what his cousin was planning. He was very anxious. He knew that his cousin was doing this not just to promote her family members.

My cousin once said that she made it all on her own, didn't rely on her parents' family, and didn't need to look up to them.

What my cousin was talking about was promotion, not reuse as outsiders think.

So, what is the purpose of lifting it up now?

Although Wang Jingye and Wang Shibo were both from the Empress Dowager's family, they each had their own thoughts and had no plans to discuss things together. It was not because they were on guard, but because their relationship had not reached that stage yet.

The Empress Dowager's second aunt looked at Xiao with mixed feelings. Her second son had also had some feelings for Xiao in the past. She tried her best not to associate with Jing Ye's family in Guanzhong. Who knew that the Empress Dowager asked her second son and his family to come to Beijing.

What an injustice.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Mo Chenxi was summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother. She didn't know why the Queen Mother wanted to see her.
