Shocking! In this matriarchal society, every man wants to marry me!

Seeing Ding Yucheng's madness, Xia Muning didn't step forward to mock him or adopt a victorious stance.

He just watched, quietly watching. Standing outside the wall, he could imagine Ding Yucheng's miserable future. If nothing unexpected happened, his world would consist only of the square wall.

He watched for a while, then turned and left. He turned back and saw Zhong Tian standing under the tree. Zhong Tian was also looking at Ding Yucheng inside the wall, and at Xia Muning.

Xia Muning composed herself, slowly walked to Zhong Tian's side, and softly asked, "My lady, do you feel that I am too cruel?"

Ding Yucheng's fate was the one he proposed.

“No.” Zhongtian shook his head gently: “Ding Yucheng has done too many bad things and indirectly killed many people. Compared with others, his retribution is too weak. Others lost their lives, while he only lost his freedom.”

Xia Muning smiled gently; he knew his wife was not a pedantic person.

But Xia Muning's smile froze. He thought for a moment, then spoke.

"I have inquired about Xia Jin'an's whereabouts with Master Li."

Nakata suddenly slowed down.

"He is in the capital."

In the capital? Nakata had predicted this long ago, but the past cannot be changed, and we should cherish the people in front of us.

Zhong Tian took Xia Muning's hand and stood in front of him, looking into his eyes.

“Mu Ning, the Xia family’s business is based in Yangcheng. Let’s go talk to Mother and meet His Majesty. After that, we will come back to continue developing it.”

Xia Muning's heart skipped a beat.

The wife knows his worries, his sorrows, and his emotions; she will not turn a blind eye or be indifferent to them. She will care about his thoughts.

Nakata continued, "We'll come back as soon as you nod."

Xia Muning gently grasped Zhong Tian's hand in return, his mind in turmoil.

He wanted to be selfish for a moment and nodded, but he knew that Xia Jin'an's departure without saying goodbye was a hurdle that Zhong Tian couldn't get over. Even if he and his wife lived in perfect harmony in the future, he would never be able to let go of his resentment.

"My lady, don't let romantic feelings interfere with important matters. I'm not the type to be jealous. Besides," Xia Muning raised an eyebrow confidently, "with me here, would you even look at anyone else? Wouldn't that make me a complete failure!"

Zhongtian glanced at Xia Muning. He was as bright and flamboyant as the rising sun. When he exuded charm, no one could take their eyes off him, not even Zhongtian!

Today was a rare sunny day in winter. Bathed in the sunlight, Zhong Tian held Xia Muning's hand and walked slowly.

Early the next morning, Zhongtian and the others boarded the carriage. Although the Xia family members were reluctant to part with them, they understood that this was a good thing and should not be delayed, so they urged Xia Muning to hurry on his way.

The journey was tedious and boring, and the lack of modern transportation made the journey slow. It took Nakata and his party half a month of arduous travel before they finally arrived in the capital.

The capital city is a bustling metropolis, with crowds of people on the streets, shouts, noises, and laughter rising and falling.

Xia Muning gently lifted the carriage curtain and looked out. He saw a woman's gaze drifting over, so he glared at her fiercely and then lowered the curtain.

Nakata rode his horse and led the way.

She also wanted to sit in the carriage, but such behavior was humiliating for a woman and not in a way that was considered feminine. Zhongtian was extremely dissatisfied, but there was nothing she could do.

It was almost noon.

She pulled on the horse's back and walked to the front of Xia Muning's carriage: "Muning, we're almost there. Let's go to the mansion to rest."

After receiving the imperial decree, Xia Muning sent his servants to the capital to purchase property and train servants so that they would have a place to settle down as soon as they arrived in the capital.

"it is good."

Suddenly, the crowd erupted in commotion, and the bustling street was thrown into chaos.

Upon closer inspection, Nakata saw a startled carriage rushing towards them. There must be someone inside, as cries for help could be heard from afar.

People around kept their distance.

Zhongtian and his entourage brought a lot of luggage and servants. Xia Muning was still sitting in the carriage, and they couldn't get out of the way at all. If they didn't stop the crazy carriage, Xia Muning would get hurt.

Nakata immediately jumped off his horse and ran towards the carriage. Suddenly, the mad horse reared up, and a person rolled straight out of the carriage.

Just as the person was about to fall to the ground in a sorry state, Zhongtian immediately reached out and helped him up. With Zhongtian's help, the person who had rolled off the carriage regained his footing. Zhongtian looked over and saw that it was a handsome man.

His face turned bright red with embarrassment, and he thanked him in a low voice. Suddenly, he remembered something and his expression turned panicked: "Quickly save my brother! He's still in the carriage!"

Zhongtian immediately pounced on the out-of-control horse and grabbed its head with all his might. Zhongtian was extremely strong, and the mad horse, which had been raging for a long time, slowly calmed down.

Lifting the carriage curtain, a man was seen gripping the curtain tightly beside the carriage, blood slowly seeping from his palms. Upon seeing the unfamiliar woman, his eyes shot straight at Zhong Tian like a drawn sword.

However, he was very clever and immediately understood the situation before him.

She tidied her clothes a little to make herself look less disheveled, and then stepped out of the carriage.

"Thank you, madam!"

Zhongtian looked around with some confusion. They were a pair of twin brothers who looked extremely similar and were very beautiful.

Even though their hair was a little messy and they looked a bit disheveled, in Zhong Tian's opinion, they were no less handsome than Ding Yucheng. In particular, the visual impact was especially strong when the two beautiful people stood side by side.

Nakata glanced at it, and immediately lowered his eyes to avoid offending anyone.

The servants should have stepped forward to inquire, but after the horse was startled, the servants all fled, and since human legs cannot keep up with the horse's, they were left far behind.

So the older brother stepped forward and asked, "What is this lady's name? We are from General Yongning's Mansion."

They did not give their names; a man cannot reveal his name to a strange woman, so giving his address is sufficient.

For Zhong Tian, ​​who had just arrived in the capital, the Yongning General's Mansion was completely unfamiliar. However, he knew that the general's mansion must belong to someone of great importance, so he seized the opportunity to introduce himself.

“My surname is Zhong. I came to the capital and live at No. 7 Yongxiang.”

"Thank you so much, Madam Zhong! We will definitely come to express our gratitude!" one of them said generously.

"Thank you." The other one, whose voice was somewhat low, was the man who had fallen off the carriage. He seemed to be unwell, as he kept coughing softly.

After the two left, Nakata went to the carriage.

Xia Muning immediately lifted the carriage curtain and looked at Zhong Tian with some concern. Seeing that he was not injured, she said with relief, "You are taking such a risk. I am worried about you."

Nakata said nonchalantly, "I'm fine, I'm just worried you might get hurt."

Xia Muning felt extremely pleased and said with a smile, "Let's go back to the manor quickly, Jin Xia and the others have been waiting for a long time!"
