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

After traveling day and night for more than ten days, Ruan Mumu and his companions finally returned to Xiyang County at noon.

They got off the bus five miles outside the city gate, and Ruan Mumu provided everyone with fast food. After everyone had eaten, they prepared to enter the city.

Fearing that such a large bus would cause panic among the city's residents, they switched to motorcycles.

Qiao Tinghao took over driving the SUV from Ruan Mumu, while the guards drove motorcycles carrying the servants who had followed.

Just as they got off the carriage at the city gate to prepare for inspection, they saw a tall figure walk out of the city and shout loudly, "Madam, Madam, we've finally waited for you to arrive."

Wang Hui got out of the car after hearing the call of "Madam," and Qiao Tingzhong followed suit. Qiao Tingxuan, who had difficulty walking, remained seated in the car but still stuck his head out to greet his father: "Father, your son is finally seeing you again."

Qiao Feng simply smiled and nodded at his eldest son, then took his wife's hand and said softly, "Madam, you must be tired from your journey."

Wang Hui was also very happy to see her husband and replied softly, "It's not tiring at all. We are very comfortable in the carriage. Although the journey is long, it is much faster than the horse-drawn carriage we used to travel by."

Qiao Tingzhong was also very happy to see his father. He was the person who had seen his father the least, and it had been several years since they last met.

"Father..." He was so excited that he called out "Father" and then couldn't speak anymore.

Qiao Feng patted his son's shoulder heavily and said, "Zhong'er has grown up so much. Now we can finally be reunited as a family."

Because the guards saw that they were Qiao Feng's family and guards, they only did a quick check and let them pass.

"General Qiao, please come with us in the car. Let's go back to the village first," Ruan Mumu said.

Qiao Feng nodded, beckoned to the leader of the dozen or so guards he had brought with him, and instructed, "I'll go back to Jinwan Village with their car first, and you all hurry up and follow."

After making the arrangements, Qiao Feng got into the SUV.

Qiao Tinghao came to the car window and greeted his father, saying, "Dad, there aren't enough seats in the car, so my daughter will drive, and Zuo Yi and I will take the motorcycle back to the village."

When they returned to Jinwan Village, it was nearly evening.

As soon as their convoy approached the village entrance, someone spotted it through binoculars.

Everyone then knew that Qiao Tinghao and Ruan Mumu had returned.

"The instructors are back! The instructors are back!" A group of children rushed towards the village.

When Ruan Mumu and his group returned to their front door, Chen Donghua and her family were already waiting outside to greet them.

She had previously called Chen Donghua to explain that the entourage included a general, his wife, and their families, which was why Chen Donghua was taking it so seriously.

After Ruan Mumu got out of the car and opened the back door to let Wang Hui out, she and Qiao Feng prepared to pay their respects to their host, Chen Donghua.

Chen Donghua and Wang Hui were both stunned.

"It's you!"

"It's you?"

Chen Donghua was pleasantly surprised to see Wang Hui.

Wang Hui felt more panic than surprise.

However, both of them had peaceful smiles on their faces, one laughing heartily and the other forcing a smile.

“Grandpa, Grandma, these two are the General and his wife, and also Tinghao’s parents,” Ruan Mumu introduced them.

Upon hearing that this was a general, the group became somewhat nervous and wanted to step forward to pay their respects, but General Qiao and his wife gently supported them, preventing them from doing so.

"Hua'er, I just saw that you and your husband looked very surprised to see each other. Are you old acquaintances?" Old Mrs. Chen asked curiously.

Chen Donghua smiled happily and said, "Father, Mother, this lady is the one who saved our lives when I gave birth to Mumu."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Chen and Old Woman Chen prepared to bow to General Qiao and his men again.

"Grandpa, Grandma, you mustn't! It was Mumu who saved my third son's life back then, and we haven't even had a chance to thank her!" General Qiao said heartily, deliberately trying to appear approachable.

General Qiao had fought bloody battles on the battlefield for so many years, and he still carried a strong aura of menace.

“Yes, sir, madam, since I unintentionally saved Madam Ruan back then, and then Mumu saved our Hao’er, we don’t need to be so polite,” Wang Hui said with a smile.

“General, General’s wife, let’s not stand at the door chatting. Let’s go to the front hall and sit down to talk!” Ruan Mumu said, breaking their polite way of greeting each other.

"Yes, yes, General Qiao, Madam Qiao, please come in." Chen Donghua also greeted everyone gracefully and led them to the front hall.

When everyone entered the brightly lit front hall, it was the first time Mrs. Qiao had ever seen a front hall so bright.

Looking up, I saw several shiny objects hanging from the rafters. Pointing curiously at the energy-saving light bulb, I asked, "What are those things? They look so bright, are they luminous pearls?"

"Mother, that's called an electric light, not some kind of luminous pearl," Qiao Tinghao explained as he entered the main hall.

Accompanying Qiao Tinghao through the door were the three Qiao brothers and the two Ruan brothers.

No, Qiao Tingxuan was pushed in by Qiao Tinghao in a wheelchair.

The moment Wang Hui saw Ruan Xiaojun walk in, her thoughts became even more chaotic.

Her face began to turn pale, and her expression became even more panicked.

Wang Hui kept thinking to herself: Qiao Tinghao and Ruan Xiaojun look seven or eight parts alike. Did the Ruan family already know that their two families' children had been switched? Did her husband also notice something amiss?

Qiao Tinghao noticed her unusual behavior and quickly asked, "Mother, what's wrong?"

Wang Hui was still struggling with whether or not to reveal the truth in front of everyone, and she was also worried that her husband would blame her if he found out.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Qiao Tinghao asked again.

Wang Huicai finally realized that she was in a daze. Thinking that she might have to live in this house for a while, she looked at Ruan Mumu's well-behaved and lovely appearance and also wanted to recognize her daughter.

She gritted her teeth, as if she had made a major decision, and said pleadingly, "Madam Ruan, may the servants in the hall leave? I have something important to tell everyone."

Qiao Feng leaned close to his wife and asked softly, "Hui'er, what's wrong? Is something so serious?"

"Husband, I... more than ten years ago, I made a mistake, and I will apologize to everyone in a moment," Wang Hui said, bowing her head.

Hearing her say that, Qiao Feng was a little confused and asked anxiously, "Madam, what exactly did you do? Tell me quickly, I'm so worried."
