Crossing Over to Yamada Love

After talking for a long time, it got late. Master Xue didn't want to leave, and Madam Xue was conflicted. She wanted him to leave but also wanted him to stay. In the end, seeing that Master Xue was unwilling to leave, she didn't say anything more and let him stay at the Bamboo Garden.

Mo Lan and Xue Lingfeng brought their child to pay their respects. Madam Xue blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed. However, Third Master Xue was in good spirits, feeling pleased that his relationship with his wife had progressed.

Looking at his grandson and granddaughter, he smiled broadly and nodded repeatedly to Mo Lan, his eyes full of satisfaction.

Madam Xue invited them to stay for breakfast, and the family ate together. Finally, they were all reunited. The family gathered together for a reunion dinner. This is what life is all about.

After the meal, they got busy. Today was the day to celebrate the baby's one-month birthday. They were even happier that Third Master Xue and Xue Lingfeng had returned safely, and they were preparing to hold a grand celebration.

After finishing breakfast, the Mo family all came to help. They were surprised to see the Xue family father and son, but they were soon happy. It wouldn't be complete without them. Now that the two of them were back, it was a happy thing.

"Lan'er, what time did Feng'er come back?" Qiu asked her daughter secretly, and Wang also looked over.

“I rushed back with my father-in-law last night. I wanted to tell my family, but it was too late. I figured I had to come today so I could see them, so I didn’t say anything,” Mo Lan replied, blushing.

"Lan'er, have you asked Feng'er about the matter of divorcing his wife and remarrying? Does he have anyone in the capital?" Qiu asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, Mother. My husband isn't that kind of person. Divorcing me and remarrying is a plan. He has no one else outside." Mo Lan smiled.

"That's good, otherwise I'd always be worried. Let me tell you, don't be silly. If he has someone else, don't be soft-hearted and agree. If a husband and wife have someone else, they won't be happy together." Qiu sighed and advised her daughter. Although she kept telling her not to overthink it, she knew she hadn't been at ease herself.

Madam Wang nodded, seeing that her granddaughter's expression didn't seem to be feigning. That meant Feng'er had explained everything to her granddaughter, and as long as they were alright, she could finally relax.

Mo Lan nodded to Qiu Shi, indicating that she understood. After exchanging a few more words, the group got busy.

The full moon celebration was a grand affair, with all the dishes and wine being of the finest quality. The Xue family was very generous, and everyone was very satisfied with the meal.

The two children received many gifts, the most numerous being longevity locks—gold and silver, dozens of them. There were also many handmade little clothes, bolts of cloth, and a large quantity of eggs.

However, not many people from the Xue family came. The Second Madam and Fourth Madam did not come, probably because they were afraid of facing Xue Lingfeng and the others. Xue Linglei's mother, the Seventh Madam, came. Although she did not like Mo Lan before and had conflicts, Mo Lan still warmly received her because of the little fat boy. After all, if it weren't for the little fat boy finding the antidote and helping, her father-in-law and Xue Lingfeng would not have been able to return for a long time.

The Seventh Madam is no longer as arrogant as before when she sees Mo Lan; she is quite peaceful now. Last time, Mo Lan caused a scene at the Mo family and suffered a great loss. She won't be so foolish anymore, which is consistent with what the Third Madam said.

Madam Wang also came. Although no one welcomed her, they still had that relationship, and they couldn't very well kick her out on such a joyous occasion.

The rest of the Xue family members came, brought gifts, drank wine, offered their congratulations, and then left.

After seeing off the guests, the Mo family members helped tidy up and then went home.

After a long day, Mo Lan was also tired and wanted to go back to Lan Yuan to rest, but Madam Wang refused to leave. She couldn't rest until Madam Wang dealt with her properly.

"You should go back first. I'll stay here for a while," Master Xue said, giving him the order to leave.

Madam Wang retorted, "Does Master only wish to stay for a while? Then why did you send the steward back to the manor to move all of Master's personal clothing and frequently used items here? Is Master not planning to return to the manor? Why are you just leaving me here unattended? Does Master not want me anymore? What have I done wrong that Master treats me like this?"

After speaking, Madam Wang's eyes reddened, and she looked indignant and aggrieved.

"Why can't I take my own things? Can't I stay here with Madam for a few days? How old are you, still talking like this, so jealous? When has Madam ever been like this? When has Madam ever argued about these things? Go back now. I haven't seen Madam for many days, I should talk to her. I will accompany Madam back for the New Year." Madam Wang's affection for Third Master Xue had cooled considerably.

Madam Wang gritted her teeth inwardly. Well, they've managed to get her all the way to the New Year in one go. They can talk about the New Year all the time.

So he's going to spend all this time with this slut? This slut has the position of a principal wife, a daughter who's a concubine, and grandchildren—isn't she satisfied?

Now she's seducing the master again, I wonder what tricks she used to bewitch him. It must have been that vixen Mo Lan who taught her, otherwise why doesn't the master act like this when he's in the manor?

"My lord, since you are unwilling to return to the manor, it is meaningless for me to stay here alone. I will stay and serve you and my sister. Let the steward bring my things over as well. Our whole family will live on the estate, so we can look after each other." Madam Wang also decided to stay.

Madam Xue's expression remained unchanged. She watched Wang's performance. When Wang decided to stay, Madam Xue raised an eyebrow. Was Wang going to stay and annoy her? It seemed she wouldn't learn her lesson unless she was beaten up once. She always thought she was easy to bully, not realizing that she had no intention of arguing with her.

Just as Madam Xue was about to unleash her fury, the steward came to report that a woman claiming to be the young mistress was requesting an audience. She said her name was Xue Man'er and that she was the wife the master had married in the capital.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. They all knew Xue Man'er, but no one expected her to come. Wasn't she in the capital? How did she end up here?

Everyone looked at Mo Lan. Aside from a moment of surprise, Mo Lan remained calm. This Xue Man'er must be having a hard time, which is why she followed him here. Trying to cling to her husband, wanting to be a concubine? Mo Lan wasn't the kind of person who would be soft-hearted or concerned with her reputation. She would never let her stay, and she wouldn't let her wish come true. However, she did want to meet this woman.

"She's not the young mistress here, she has nothing to do with us, let her go," Xue Lingfeng instructed the steward.

"No, Feng'er, she is your lawfully wedded wife, how can you deny it? Quickly invite her in," Madam Wang interjected.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Third Master Xue scolded her angrily.

"Master, I'm only doing this for Feng'er's own good. He's married someone, and if we drive her away like this, he'll have a bad reputation. Although he hasn't divorced Lan'er, it's common for men to have multiple wives and concubines. Lan'er should meet Man'er too." Madam Wang argued, pretending to be thinking of everyone's best interests, but in reality, she just wanted to watch the show.

“Auntie is right. Since Auntie wants to see you, please come in,” Mo Lan added.

"Lan'er," Madam Xue called softly, not wanting her daughter-in-law to feel uncomfortable.

“It’s alright, Mother. It’s good to see her. It’ll keep her from giving up.” Mo Lan said with a double meaning.

The person in charge went to invite Xue Man'er, and the people in the living room were seated again.

In the main seats were Third Master Xue and Madam Xue, with Madam Wang seated at the head of the table on the left. Xue Lingfeng sat at the head of the table on the right, with Mo Lan seated to his left.

After a while, five people came in from outside, led by a young woman.

Her jet-black hair was styled in a diagonal bun, adorned with a red-gold hairpin. The tassels of the hairpin swayed and trembled with each step she took, like a phoenix nodding.

Her arched eyebrows were exquisitely delicate, and her bright, almond-shaped eyes were captivating when she turned them. If she were to give a flirtatious glance, she would surely be mesmerizing.

Her delicate nose was like a sculpture, and her small, red lips looked so tempting that you wanted to kiss them.

With fair skin, small ears, and earrings adorned with flower petals, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

With her long, slender neck and a moon-white long dress that accentuated her graceful figure, she moved with an air of delicate elegance, like a willow swaying in the breeze.

Mo Lan was speechless. What a stunning beauty she was! It wasn't surprising, considering her older sister was a beauty of unparalleled grace and was favored by the emperor. The younger sister couldn't be much less so.

Such a stunning beauty—the most beautiful woman he'd seen since transmigrating, even more beautiful than himself. What man wouldn't be moved by such a beauty? Xue Lingfeng had actually shared a bed with her for days without touching her; his willpower was truly extraordinary.

Behind Xue Man'er were two pretty maids. These two maids were not tacky in appearance and dress, and were more pleasing to the eye than the average girl from a modest family. There were also two old women, who were very composed and did not have a petty air about them.

If it weren't for her, would Xue Lingfeng have fallen for her? Mo Lan quickly dismissed that thought. There are no "what ifs" in this world; many things must be fought for. What belongs to her, she wouldn't give up.

Xue Man'er entered the living room, quickly glanced around, then stepped to the center and bowed to Third Master Xue and Madam Xue, saying, "Man'er greets her parents-in-law. Parents-in-law, please accept my bow."

Her voice was like a silver bell, very pleasant to hear. After speaking, she knelt down and kowtowed to the two men, not caring that the ground was dirty and would soil her white dress.

Third Master Xue remained silent. Although he had no problem with Xue Man'er, he had problems with Consort Chen and the Xue family, so he had no feelings for Xue Man'er either.

Madam Xue had long since decided on Mo Lan and would not have feelings for other women. Mo Lan had suffered so much, how could she possibly accept another woman as her daughter-in-law?

"Please get up. We cannot accept this. You are a young lady of the Xue family, so please do not address us like that. This greeting is a courtesy you would show to me, since you do not hold an official title, while I am a second-rank lady. It is not beneath you." Madam Xue spoke calmly, directly rejecting Xue Man'er's address.
