Looking at the child in her arms, Zhong Tian felt a pang of guilt. She had neglected her daughter so much over the years. She touched Zhong Ping's delicate little face and said lovingly, "Ping'er, Mother is back!"

Zhong Ping's curiosity about the woman in front of him couldn't overcome his overwhelming sleepiness, so he closed his eyes again and fell asleep.

A servant quietly came over and took Zhongping away.

As soon as Zhong Ping left, the room suddenly felt much smaller, and the atmosphere inside became lively!

Their eyes burned with passion as they looked at each other. It's unclear who started it, but their arms were intertwined, their lips met, and they exchanged breaths.

In the midst of their passion, Zhong Tian didn't forget to close the door with his foot. Once the door was closed, the cold air was shut out, and the room became hot. Xia Muning was carried to the bed by Zhong Tian.

They explored each other's bodies with great passion.

Shi Shu squatted outside, listening to the intense sounds inside. He touched his slightly flushed face and, somewhat embarrassed, tightened his grip on the hand warmer. He looked at the hand warmer and felt a little warmer.

The hot water was called three times in a row before the intense battle inside the room finally subsided a little. Xia Muning's body was a little weak, and he held Xia Muning and breathed heavily. This lovemaking had exhausted too much of his energy.

The main house was warm and inviting, and Xia Jin'an's courtyard was not deserted either. The small kitchen was steaming with delicious food and aromas.

Xia Jin'an prepared a table full of delicious dishes, and Minglu said happily, "I heard from the people in the main house that the master has returned. I will go and invite her over! I will definitely not let this table of food go to waste."

Xia Jin'an shook her head and said, "No need. Zhongniang hasn't seen her husband for a long time. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. They should be careful and tender with each other and not be the ones to spoil the mood."

Although Xia Jin'an said this, he was somewhat saddened. However, he understood that in order to survive in the Zhong family, learning not to be jealous and to share Zhong Tian's good qualities with others was the first lesson he needed to learn.

Minglu looked at the table full of food and said with a hint of regret, "Won't all this food go to waste?"

"Eat with me," Xia Jin'an said, looking at Minglu.

Minglu was pleasantly surprised to hear this, but she waved her hands repeatedly in refusal: "Master, this is improper, absolutely not!"

Xia Jin'an stood up and took Minglu's hand: "Minglu, you have been assigned to my courtyard. It is fate between us, master and servant. I will treat you well. This meal is nothing. We must support each other and help each other in this Zhong Mansion!"

Minglu's initial fear immediately subsided, and his eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Master."

Xia Jin'an's words carried a hint of sincerity, but also a lot of deliberate intent.

Minglu intends to cultivate him into his confidant, someone who loves and respects him, and most importantly, someone who must never betray him! His life by Zhongtian's side cannot have the slightest mishap!

An unexpected oversight occurred, but it wasn't Xia Jin'an who was the one who suffered the accident; it was Zhang Duruo. She went to the Ministry of Justice to file a complaint against her sister-in-law, Jin Xia!

Upon hearing this news, Zhong Tian was having dinner with Xia Muning and was quite surprised, wondering why.

Xia Muning, who was standing next to him, picked up a piece of meat and placed it on Zhong Tian's plate, a slight smile appearing on her lips.

Zhong Tian, ​​who was very good at observing Xia Muning's subtle movements, quickly noticed them. She smiled and said to Xia Muning, "Muning, don't keep me in suspense, tell me!"

Xia Muning was well aware of this matter, and he even encouraged it from the sidelines.

After Zhang Duruo and Shan Fuping met, they quickly hooked up. The two played along, and in less than half a month, like dry wood meeting a raging fire, they ended up in bed together!

Two weeks of getting to know each other is enough to completely expose the true colors of two people.

The two then realized that Zhang Duru was a parasite who depended on his sister-in-law for survival, and that Shan Fuping was a promiscuous and fickle woman.

However, getting rid of each other is not easy.

Zhang Duruo discovers that his body seems to have contracted an unclean disease, while Shan Fuping realizes that in this vast world, he has been abandoned by everyone, and now only Zhang Duruo, this piece of trash, can provide him with shelter from the wind and rain.

The two then got entangled again!

Zhang Duruo himself needed a lot of medicine, while Shan Fuping was extravagant and wasteful. The two of them were penniless. Under Shan Fuping's encouragement, Zhang Duruo set his sights on his sister-in-law, Jin Xia!

He secretly took his brother-in-law's official seal and went to the accounting office to withdraw money. No one noticed for a full six months!

But as the amount grew larger and larger, Jin Xia finally discovered something was wrong, and a fierce argument broke out between the two!

To make an argument effective, you have to hit the other person where it hurts!

Zhang Duruo clearly understood her sister-in-law's weakness, and pointed at her nose, scolding: "You weren't just a beggar on the street before, about to starve to death. Now that you're in power, you've become arrogant! Madam Zhong helped you become a rich man, and not only do you not think of repaying her, but you're also secretly siphoning off Madam Zhong's property!"

When Zhang Duruo stole his sister-in-law's seal, he saw the account book.

These words made Jin Xia's face turn ashen. Zhang Xiang'er listened from the side, but it was too late to stop them. Jin Xia took a whip and lashed Zhang Duruo until he was on the verge of death, and finally locked him in the woodshed!

All of this was discovered by Shan Fuping, who was hiding in the shadows. She told Xia Muning everything, and Xia Muning whispered something to Shan Fuping, who nodded in agreement.

Dan Fuping, weeping, found Zhang Duruo and said, "Your sister-in-law has absolutely no feelings for you. If you tolerate her like this, she will only become more demanding. I heard that Madam Zhong is back. If you sue your sister-in-law, Madam Zhong will definitely abandon her and support you instead!"

Beaten to the point of near death, Zhang Duruo, whose mind was originally filled with hatred, was overjoyed and immediately made a decision! Thus, today's farce unfolded!

"The trial starts tomorrow, and they'll likely summon you for questioning. You'll then be able to enjoy this good show!"

Zhongtian nodded, indicating that he understood.

Just then, Minglu arrived, carrying several trays with dishes prepared by Xia Jin'an.

Minglu said quite cleverly, "Master, lord, our young master has prepared some dishes in the small kitchen and came to add some food for you!"

It's braised pork! After many days, Nakata finally saw the braised pork he had been longing for. He found the aroma lingering in his mouth and unforgettable!

Xia Muning also picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his bowl, but he didn't eat it. He looked at Zhong Tian and asked.

"Jin An has been living in the manor for several days now, but without a title or status, it's inconvenient for the servants to address him. Mistress, shouldn't we start preparing for the conscription of a husband?"

Zhong Tian also put down his chopsticks and bowl, his expression somewhat serious: "Mu Ning, I also have something I want to discuss with you, but I don't know how to start?"
