Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

Zhou Jiyuan and his companions returned to Duke Dingguo's Mansion on the third day after the palace banquet.

The day before, Zhou Chenli sent someone to deliver a letter to his wife, saying that they would be home the next day.

Early in the morning, the lady changed her previous sloppy image and put on her exquisite makeup again.

She dressed up early and waited in the study in the outer courtyard with Xu Miao and others.

Ever since Butler Qian received the news that Zhou Chenli was returning home, he took the servants from the Duke's Mansion and cleaned up the Duke Ding's Mansion from inside to outside overnight.

Even the street outside the Duke Dingguo's Mansion was swept three times in the morning, for fear that there would be any omissions.

Xu Miao and Yang Pozi also quietly changed into new clothes and waited behind the lady.

After a while, a servant came to announce that the eldest and second sons had also arrived with their two wives.

Lady Dingguo hurriedly asked her two daughters-in-law to go into the study and wait. It was really lively with three pregnant women gathered together.

"Mother-in-law, I think you're in the best condition among the three of us. I heard you've never vomited."

When the eldest lady saw her mother-in-law sitting at the table in high spirits, she couldn't help but complain to her husband.

"I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm still vomiting at this hour. I've been living on the pickled cabbage that Aunt Yang and the others gave me. Will the baby I give birth to in the future be healthy?"

The eldest lady had been vomiting non-stop since she found out she was pregnant. She was the thinnest of the three, and her complexion wasn't as good as the other two.

After hearing this, Lady Dingguo hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry. When I was pregnant with my first child, I vomited even more than you did."

"I vomited from beginning to end, even when I drank water. Look how strong the old man is now. I just need to take good care of the baby after it is born."

"That's right." The Second Madam also chimed in, "I heard from the Second Young Master that when Mother-in-law was pregnant with him, she vomited a lot, and when she was pregnant with Yuan, she vomited even more."

"Mother-in-law, this pregnancy is different from the previous ones. This pregnancy must be my sister-in-law."

When the eldest lady heard the second lady mention the birth of her sister-in-law, she didn't care about whether she vomited or not. She kept telling the second lady that this baby must be a girl.

Bodhisattva, please bless my mother-in-law to give birth to a fat girl this time. They don’t want to raise a younger brother-in-law.

The three were talking excitedly about having children when they heard the sound of a servant running in from the outer courtyard.

The eldest son's attendant entered the room and bowed to the three ladies. He then said cheerfully, "The eldest son asked me to inform you that the Duke's carriage will be arriving soon. Should I ask you to go to the front gate?"

The eldest son, the second son and Steward Qian were all waiting at the door. A fast servant came back and said that he had seen the carriage of the Duke and his party.

When the lady heard that the Duke's carriage was about to arrive, she hurriedly stood up from her seat and walked out the door.

Xu Miao and Mrs. Yang were so frightened that they kept saying from behind: "Madam, please be careful. Don't worry."

As the lady walked outside, she couldn't help but shed tears.

The two young ladies laughed at the sight. The second lady was a lively person. She followed her mother-in-law and teased the wife of Duke Dingguo as she walked: "Mother, please stop crying. If someone didn't know, they would think that my eldest sister-in-law and I bullied you."

"If your father-in-law sees you crying like this, he'll definitely scold both of us."

The lady was embarrassed by what her daughter-in-law said, and she quickly explained: "Oh, I didn't want to cry, but when I heard that Yuan was coming back, I couldn't hold back my tears."

"Don't worry, the Duke will definitely not say anything to you."

When I arrived at the door, I saw Zhou Chenli getting off the carriage.

The lady cried like a tearful person and came forward to hug Zhou Chenli's arm: "Master, I miss you so much. Oh, how come you are so thin?"

"Oh, you're tanned."

"Didn't you eat properly before going out?"

"Come and see your fat daughter."

As for her dark and thin son, his wife had long forgotten him.

The eldest son and his men were no longer surprised by her mother's behavior.

Zhou Jiyuan got off the carriage and came to the two sisters-in-law, greeting them politely.

"Hello, sisters-in-law, there are two carriages behind." Zhou Jiyuan pointed at the two carriages following behind.

"The things in the carriage are all the things I bought for my two nephews on this trip. You can take them away when you go back later. It's a small token of my appreciation as your uncle."

Seeing this, the two young ladies were so happy that they stepped forward and took Zhou Jiyuan's hand, praising him non-stop: "Oh, my brother-in-law has grown up and knows how to buy things for his nephew."

"Yuan seems to have gotten a lot darker, and he's also lost weight. When we get home, have a good meal."

Zhou Chenli chatted with his wife about their daughter for a long time, and soon he made his wife smile from ear to ear.

Zhou Chenli turned around and said to his two sons and daughters-in-law, "Go back home first and come back to eat together in the evening."

Zhou Jiyuan had already run to Xu Miao and Yang Pozi and told them his experiences along the way in vivid detail.

In the evening, Zhou Chenli and Zhou Jiyuan had rested well, and the family sat happily in the dining hall in the lady's courtyard, eating and chatting.

The table was filled with all kinds of food that Zhou Chenli and Zhou Jiyuan liked to eat. The lady also thoughtfully served a small hot pot for each of the two young ladies.

Madam thought the hot pot we had at the last palace banquet was delicious, so she arranged it for the two young ladies.

At the dinner table, Zhou Jiyuan was the main speaker. While eating, he told his wife and others about his experiences along the way.

"Mom, you don't know, when that dwarf was chasing me with a big knife, the first person I thought of was you."

"But then I thought about you, Mom, who is far away in the capital, so I started calling my dad for help again."

The second son laughed out loud at his brother after hearing this: "A Yuan, were you running for your life, or were you thinking about something? You couldn't even run without thinking, you were thinking about a lot."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard it.

"Later, it was General Dai who shot the dwarf to death with an arrow. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to see me."

"Also, that General Dai is really impressive. His military camp is awesome. The soldiers are really nice to me. I've been living in the barracks all my life."

The lady was horrified when she heard this. After Zhou Jiyuan finished speaking, she started cursing: "Damn the Japanese pirates, they should be wiped out."

In the afternoon, Zhou Chenli briefly told his wife the purpose of the trip. His wife naturally knew about the Japanese pirates.

Xu Miao, standing behind his wife, waited on her. When he heard Zhou Jiyuan talking about the Japanese pirates, he also felt hatred. He thought to himself: From now on, I will tell Zhou Jiyuan the story of the Japanese pirates every day. Patriotism should be instilled in children from an early age.

Zhou Chenli felt so angry when he saw Zhou Jiyuan calling him General Dai all the time.

It was all because of that damn Dai Laosi. He made him drink porridge for half a month. When he was almost recovered, he got a stomachache from eating Zhou Jiyuan's old sow meat.

That's why I didn't get home before the palace banquet.

He said angrily: "What General Dai? He is just the fourth fool Dai. When he returns to the capital, I will not let him off."

"Tomorrow, I will go to the palace and complain to the emperor."
