A post-apocalyptic female soul travels back to the War of Resistance against Japan

"After all, in that family, my mother had no one else to rely on but me. She was afraid that he would be bullied by the other concubines at home. Thinking about this makes me very sad!"

"Madam, after we finish our trip to Xuan Yue City to take the imperial examination, let's go visit your mother-in-law at your home!"

Lin Zeyang didn't want to see his wife upset, so he said that.

Luo Wanyin looked up in surprise, "Really, my husband? But Xuan Yue City is very far from the capital. If we go there, we won't be able to get back home on time."

"It's alright. We can just call back and explain the situation. Besides, we've been married for so many years and haven't been back to your family home in a long time. It's time to visit your mother and the others. It's only right that we take this opportunity to visit them."

Luo Wanyin was so happy that she couldn't help but shed tears. Her husband was just trying to appease her so as not to upset her!

When Lin Zeyang and Cheng Ying saw that Luo Wanyin was crying, they rushed over to comfort her!

"Mother, don't be sad, or Tong'er will cry too."

This was the only way Cheng Ying could think of to keep Luo Wanyin from being heartbroken.

Seeing Cheng Ying's funny expression, Luo Wanyin couldn't help but chuckle, "You little rascal, you know Mother is just happy. Alright, hurry up and eat! It'll get cold soon."

Seeing his wife smile through her tears, Lin Zeyang felt relieved.

After it got completely dark, everyone had finished their dinner, and many family members strolled around the neighborhood to digest their food.

Lin Zeyang's family was no exception. After dinner, the three of them took a walk outside to digest their food. There were two bonfires lit outside, so it wasn't too dark.

After strolling around for a while, they ran into Zhang Jingyu and Chu Yu's family, who had just returned from outside. Except for Yan Rufeng and Xiao Pingzhi, who only brought their attendants and guards, the other families, including Lin Zeyang's family, all brought their female relatives.

However, only Lin Zeyang's family brought his wife and daughter; the other families only brought their wives or concubines. Among them, Xu Jinnian was the oldest.

Only Zhang Jingyu brought his third concubine, and Chu Yu brought his wife. The three families met and greeted each other.

The first to speak was Zhang Jingyu, "Brother Zeyang, your family is out for a stroll too. This must be your wife and your daughter, right?"

Lin Zeyang cupped his hands and said, "Brother Zhang, Brother Chu, this is my wife, and this is my daughter, Lai Tong'er. You can call these two Uncle Zhang and Uncle Chu."

Cheng Ying greeted them politely, "Hello Uncle Zhang, Uncle Chu, and hello Auntie Zhang and Auntie Chu!"

Hearing the clear, bright voice, the others happily echoed, "Good, good, what an obedient child!"

Zhang Jingyu asked, "Little niece, how old are you this year?"

Li Zeyang said on behalf of his daughter, "My daughter is five years old this year."

Chu Yu remembered the exquisite topographical map, which Lin Zeyang had mentioned was made by his youngest daughter's master, and thus became interested in Lin Zeyang's daughter.

"Brother Zeyang, your daughter's master must be a reclusive master, right?"

"Was that topographical map drawn by my niece's master?"

Lin Zeyang explained, "My daughter's master is a true hermit. He is different from us ordinary people. He is a true person beyond the world. He has traveled all over the world and drew a map of the place he visited. No one can match him!"

Upon hearing this, the group realized that the person in question was a reclusive master from outside the secular world. Thinking this, Chu Yu and Zhang Jingyu immediately tactfully refrained from asking any further questions about Lin Zeyang's daughter's master.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows what questions to ask and what questions not to ask, lest they say something inappropriate and offend someone of high standing, thus bringing trouble upon themselves.

I've heard stories of what happened to those who offended reclusive masters—those were extraordinary figures with divine abilities.

Take the Grand Preceptor of Linyue Kingdom, for example. He was an extraordinary figure. It is said that even the emperor treated him with great respect and specially built a temple for him on a sacred mountain not far from the capital.

Moreover, it is said that the Imperial Advisor only appears on important national holidays. Previously, when the country was in trouble and there was a severe drought for three years, it was the Imperial Advisor who prayed to Heaven for rain.

On another occasion, the neighboring countries of Linyue joined forces to try to annex Linyue, but the Grand Preceptor intervened and resolved the situation at the critical moment.

But in recent years, no one has seen the Imperial Advisor again, and many people have never seen what the Imperial Advisor looks like.

The group chatted about other topics for a while, and then, seeing that it was getting late, they said goodbye and went back to rest.

Just as everyone was drifting off to sleep, the bodyguard on night watch suddenly shouted, "Come out! Who's lurking around there like that? Who are you?"
