After time travel, share a space with your modern family.

That night, the wails of agony echoed through every corner of the palace.

That night, all the die-hard followers of the Crown Prince's faction were wiped out, and all the ministers who had previously been close to the Crown Prince were imprisoned.

That night, the entire capital was plunged into panic.

When Qiao Tinghao drove his SUV back to the gate of the General's Mansion with Ruan Mumu, it was already close to noon.

After Qiao Tinghao helped Ruan Mumu open the car door and get out, she was startled when she saw the people standing at the gate of the General's Mansion.

Although she had met many people in modern times, she was still surprised to see so many people waiting at the door.

"Why are there so many people?" Ruan Mumu whispered in Qiao Tinghao's ear.

"Perhaps wealthy families are more particular about rituals!" Qiao Tinghao said, suppressing a laugh.

"Hao'er, Mumu, welcome home!" A beautiful woman greeted the two warmly as they got out of the car.

The moment Ruan Mumu saw the beautiful woman, an indescribable impulse surged into her heart, driving her to want to go forward and hug her, as if an invisible thread was pulling her along.

She felt an unusual sense of intimacy emanating from the woman, a familiar feeling akin to reuniting with a long-lost relative.

However, after carefully recalling the events in her mind, she realized that the original owner of this body had never been to Xiyang County since childhood, let alone ventured out of Xiyang County to such a distant place as the capital. If she had truly seen such a beautiful woman, she would surely have been deeply impressed.

She was certain she had never seen this woman before, but why did she have such a strange feeling?

She was momentarily lost in thought, her eyes fixed on the woman.

After noticing Ruan Mumu's unusual behavior, Qiao Tinghao gently nudged her with his elbow, who was lost in thought, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

After being touched by Qiao Tinghao, Ruan Mumu seemed to wake up from a dream and gently shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

This strange feeling made her uneasy, and she planned to find another time to talk to Qiao Tinghao about the strange feeling she had when she first saw the woman.

Qiao Tinghao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ruan Mumu did not have any adverse reaction. He did not say anything more, but nodded to the woman.

Ruan Mumu raised her right hand, waved gently, and added a smile.

Then Qiao Tinghao led Ruan Mumu to the two elderly people at the head of the group and respectfully bowed, saying, "Grandson greets Grandfather and Grandmother."

Ruan Mumu didn't know how to address the two elderly people, so after bowing to Qiao Tinghao, she stood quietly beside him.

The old man smiled at Qiao Tinghao, patted his shoulder hard, and said, "Hao'er has grown up and gotten taller. I heard that you made great contributions in the battle against Xirong. You are truly the pride of our Qiao family!"

Qiao Tinghao didn't say much, but simply lowered his head slightly and said humbly, "Grandson still has many shortcomings, and protecting the country is the duty of every son of Beisheng."

Grandpa Qiao stroked his snow-white beard, smiled and nodded, looking proud.

The old lady beside him looked at Qiao Tinghao with a kind expression and said with a smile, "It's good that Hao'er is back, it's good that he's back!"

After the other members of the Qiao family smiled and nodded at Qiao Tinghao and Ruan Mumu, they all looked at Ruan Mumu with curiosity, wondering what the girl's identity was.

Qiao Tinghao didn't pay much attention to the attitudes of others. He bowed to the two elders again, then pulled Ruan Mumu to the beautiful woman and respectfully bowed, saying, "Mother, your son has returned."

"Good, good... It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back safe and sound." The beautiful woman looked at Qiao Tinghao with tears welling up in her eyes.

The beautiful woman was Qiao Feng's wife, Wang Hui, who was also Qiao Tinghao's biological mother.

Ruan Mumu imitated the bowing posture she learned from television, gave Wang Huifu a bow, and said, "This humble woman greets the General's wife."

After glancing at her son, Wang Hui affectionately took Ruan Mumu's arm and said, "Oh dear! You don't need to be so formal. You must be starving. Let's go inside and eat now."

The old master and old lady had already turned and walked into the mansion, and the rest of the Qiao family followed them into the general's mansion.

Wang Hui, holding Ruan Mumu's arm, asked softly, "Child, was that big box-like thing you were sitting in earlier a car? Could you take me for a spin around in it sometime?"

“If Madam wishes to sit, we can sit anytime!” Ruan Mumu replied with a smile.

After everyone entered the living room in the front yard, Qiao Tinghao was very happy to see that his mother and Ruan Mumu were already as close as mother and daughter.

He knew that with the general's wife protecting her in this family, she wouldn't be easily bullied.

But it seems he was overthinking it. Given Ruan Mumu's personality, how could she let anyone bully her?

"Mom, I'm entrusting Mumu to you. Please take good care of her. She's unfamiliar with this place, so don't let her feel lonely!" Qiao Tinghao instructed.

"You little rascal, I know what to do without you telling me. I especially love this child, he's so lovable," Mrs. Qiao said with a smile, and then gave Ruan Mumu a special hug.

"Seeing you all getting along so well puts my mind at ease," Qiao Tinghao said with a broad smile.

After explaining things to Qiao's mother, he went to chat with the old man and the others.

"Girl, have you been to the capital before? I feel like I've seen you somewhere before, you seem so familiar." Mrs. Qiao took Ruan Mumu's hand, led her to sit down at the table, and asked softly.

The woman sitting nearby also spoke up, "Sister-in-law, this child's eyes look just like yours!"

A girl of about fifteen or sixteen at the same table chimed in, "Yes, Auntie, this little girl's eyes really do look a lot like yours."

When Qiao's mother heard the two talking, she also looked closely at Ruan Mumu's eyes and felt a little familiar with them. However, she didn't think much of it and thought: Maybe this child is more pleasing to my eye, so I feel this familiarity.

She introduced the first person to Ruan Mumu: "Mumu, this is Hao'er's aunt. You can call her Aunt just like Hao'er does!"

"This lady next to you is your second aunt. You should also call her your second aunt."

"This is my third cousin."

......

Mrs. Qiao briefly introduced everyone at the table.

Each time someone was introduced, Ruan Mumu would nod to them in greeting.

"Did this child come back with our Hao'er?" Auntie asked curiously.

Mrs. Qiao said proudly, "Yes, she came back to the capital with Hao'er after they fought against the Western Rong."

"This child is so capable! He's so young and already has such talent. He's more than a match for our Hao'er!" Second Aunt exclaimed.

“That’s right, that’s right…” Mrs. Qiao said with a hearty laugh.
