Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction

Fearing her two sons wouldn't dare go in, Liu Fangmei pushed open the door to the walk-in closet and pulled them inside.

Xia Qingshu and Xia Qingyan stared in shock at what they were seeing. They both thought they were still dreaming and even pinched themselves to make sure it hurt. Only then did they realize it was real.

Looking at the clothes hanging on the racks all around, the two brothers felt it was all a bit unreal. After all, even the largest supply and marketing cooperative in the county had never displayed so many clothes, yet their mother had told them that all of these clothes belonged to them.

The first thing they saw was a row of clothes hanging on one side that looked completely out of place with the other exquisite clothes; they were clearly meant for them to wear right now.

Even though there's only one shelf, that's still a lot, isn't it? At least twenty or thirty sets. The bottom shelf belongs to them, and the top shelf belongs to my sister.

Look at those pretty little dresses and overalls—they'd never seen anything like them before. The two brothers strolled around the dressing room like country bumpkins visiting a grand garden. When they came out, they saw their mother standing at the entrance, watching them.

"mother……"

"Mother..." The two of them hadn't calmed down yet, so they called out a little loudly. Liu Fangmei quickly reached out her hand to cover their mouths.

They realized something was wrong and quickly covered her mouth. Their little sister was sleeping, and they didn't want to wake her; she was grumpy in the morning, and if she cried, they'd both get their ears pulled.

"Sweetie, we can't tell anyone about this place. Let's go downstairs first." Liu Fangmei suddenly sensed some fluctuation in the air. When she went downstairs with her two children, she found that her husband had also come in.

As soon as the two little ones saw their father, they ran over and each hugged one of his arms. With their parents there, they felt at ease.

"There was some fluctuation here just now. I checked and found a new stone next to the well in the courtyard. That stone is the same as the one we used for the blood oath ceremony, especially the color." He came in because of the fluctuations in the space.

“There wasn’t any before. But today, I brought the children in. All five of us are here. Could it be related to this?” Liu Fang didn’t feel anything different from usual. It’s just that she brought the children in today, making the whole family of five from Shenzhen together.

"It's possible. My wife can get a needle and have the children drip some blood onto that rock. I'll bring my daughter over and also draw some blood from her." Xia Jixuan thought this method should work, since that's what his daughter had done before.

"Okay, be careful, she just fell asleep. If you want to check on her, don't wake her up first, she'll cry later." She didn't want to wake the little one.

The family of five then dripped their blood onto the stone in unison, not much, just two drops each. However, the blood was quickly absorbed by the stone, and there were no other effects afterward, not even a glimmer of light.

Xia Jixuan didn't think much of it. After learning that the two children had already eaten, he talked with them for a while in the living room and then told them to go and rest.

The two brothers couldn't sleep at all. They had never seen such a beautiful house before, nor any of the unfamiliar appliances or floor tiles.

"Brother, I feel like I'm still dreaming. Can you believe we have so many clothes? Such a beautiful house? And outside, it looks like there are fields of rice, wheat, and some vegetables I don't recognize..." You could tell how excited Xia Qingyan was from his tone. He usually keeps a calm head, but now he doesn't know where it went.

"Me too, only we know about this place, Second Brother..." Xia Qingshu wanted to remind her younger brother, feeling that no matter what, their mother's safety was the most important thing.

“I know, brother, I’m not stupid. These days I’ve noticed that the things in the house aren’t things that usually appear, so I’ve had my suspicions, but I never thought that Mother had such amazing abilities…” Xia Qingyan excitedly interrupted his brother, and then quickly explained his own opinion.

He can't sleep at all right now, and all he wants to do is chat with his brother. Because these are things he can't talk about with outsiders, he can only confide in his parents, brother, and sister.

"Brother, what should I do if I can't sleep?" His excited mind was too stimulated to lie down.

"Let's explore the room first. I found that this bedside table is different from the ones we've seen before. And what's this door for? This desk is so beautiful and exquisitely made..." As he spoke, he couldn't help but touch the soft bed.

So, the Xia brothers spent the entire night exploring the house. They carefully examined everything. The mirror that glowed and sang—it was the first time the brothers had ever seen their own faces so clearly.

The bed was so soft, I had no idea how many blankets were underneath; it was impossible to open it up and see inside.

This door leads to a small room with rows of bookshelves filled with books and a desk underneath. On the desk are fountain pens, ballpoint pens, calligraphy brushes, some Xuan paper for practicing calligraphy, and several blank notebooks.

There was also a small box on the desk. After touching it, I realized it was a lamp. As long as I touched it, it would lift up to illuminate my books.

After exploring the study, the two ran to the bathroom. They tried out the sink faucet, almost getting scalded by the hot water. They smelled the shower gel, and even had to sit in the bathtub to test it out.

They tossed and turned until they were exhausted, then consciously went back to bed and lay down to sleep. They didn't know how long they had been tossing and turning, but they didn't feel like it was dawn. They just thought they would sleep as long as they could.

When they woke up naturally, no one had come to wake them. Without watches, and unable to look at the sky, neither of them knew what time it was.

Still half asleep, the two brothers went downstairs and found their mother cooking in the kitchen. Seeing the rice cooker, they were surprised to discover it was the same one their father had taken out to eat from earlier.

"What time is it now, Mother? Why didn't she call us?" Xia Qingshu thought it was already afternoon, since they had really stayed up very late last night.

"It's not even dawn yet, why would I call you? Alright, alright, there's no need to light a fire here. Go find your sister in the yard outside. She should be in the strawberry patch right now." The little girl's favorite food is strawberries, and every time she comes back here, she must eat strawberries.
