Mu Xingzhi observed the subtle expressions on Su Qingluan's face without saying a word, and slowly felt relieved - the person in front of him should have temporarily eliminated his suspicion that he was the "General Xiao".
In fact, Su Qingluan's suspicion at that moment was not wrong. Mu Xingzhi's original surname was indeed "Xiao". Not to mention being a "royal relative", he himself was a "member of the royal family" and had a very noble background.
However, at the moment, although Mu Xingzhi confessed his true appearance, if his true identity was discovered in advance, there would still be considerable trouble. Even if this "trouble" was still under control, if there was a better way, why not do it?
After spending some time together, Su Qingluan had a certain degree of understanding of Mu Xingzhi, but this "understanding" was, in a sense, all the aspects that "Mu Xingzhi wanted Su Qingluan to understand", so at this moment, Mu Xingzhi fully understood in his heart what Su Qingluan generally thought of him.
In other words, even the sentence "Why not" was deliberately misleading Su Qingluan. In Su Qingluan's view, if Mu Xingzhi was really a member of the royal family, he would never admit it on his own initiative. But he did the opposite and dispelled the curiosity that had just arisen in Su Qingluan.
After all, although clay figures may look somewhat like someone in Su Qingluan's opinion, there are so many similar people in the world. Not to mention, in the entertainment industry in her previous life, there were only a hundred or eighty popular male and female actors coming and going. Today, this one and that one look like "husband and wife", and tomorrow that one and this one are "half-sisters or brothers". This kind of marketing is everywhere.
Moreover, Su Qingluan had to admit that sometimes people's appearances were so strange that even if they had no blood relationship, two people could look very similar - she had actually encountered such a thing in her previous life, but it did not happen to her.
The two stayed in Su Qingluan's room for a while, and then they heard Yang calling them to dinner in the front hall.
Today, to welcome their daughter back home and their new son-in-law, the Su family had pulled out all the stops. Su Guangfu, who usually only drank one sip at a time, had, for the first time ever, drunk three or two ounces of liquor, and it was a strong, hard liquor.
In the eyes of a drinker, this amount of alcohol is not even enough to fill the gaps between teeth, but Su Qingluan understands that for Su Guangfu, who can really get drunk after one glass or even one sip of strong liquor, three or two glasses of alcohol is definitely a "heavy drink".
Moreover, for some reason, today, Su Guangfu was no longer like he would fall asleep after drinking. Instead, he held Mu Xingzhi tightly and kept saying, "I'm leaving my daughter in your care. It's not easy for her to support the family alone." Then he said, "My eldest daughter is the most sensible and caring one. You should live a good life and you will be fine."
In short, Su Guangfu changed his previous taciturn appearance and started to talk incessantly, as if he was possessed by some chatterbox. He kept talking to Mu Xingzhi for a long time.
Su Qingluan was very moved by what she heard, but seeing that Su Guangfu was really a little confused at the end, and could only talk nonsense, but he still held Mu Xingzhi tightly, she felt very moved and at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
In the end, the thought of "wanting to entrust something to my son-in-law" was no match for the instinct to fall asleep, and Su Guangfu finally tilted his head and fell asleep. Or maybe Song Bo and Yang Shi took Su Guangfu to the bedroom to sleep.
Yang went out to apologize to Mu Xingzhi. After all, being so drunk was definitely a misstep. "Xingzhi," since Su Qingluan was already married to Mu Xingzhi, calling him "Mr. Mu" was inappropriate, so Yang was happy to use the more intimate name. "My head of the family drank a little too much today and talked a lot, but he's just worried about his daughter."
Mu Xingzhi smiled very politely: "Mother-in-law, please be at ease. I understand that father-in-law's deep love for his daughter is truly touching."
"Hey, you are a sensible child. We feel relieved as long as you two live a good life." As she said this, Yang's eyes became sore again and tears fell.
"Mother, why are you crying? We live so close to each other, and I can always take care of you if anything happens..."
"Live your life well," Yang patted Su Qingluan's hand, "You don't have to worry about everything at home in the future. Your parents have jobs to support the family, and there are also your brothers and sisters."
Su Qingluan was helpless: "Mother, why are you saying all this? We will always be together in the future..."
"How can we stay together forever?" Yang looked lovingly at her eldest daughter's still somewhat childish face, but her eyes held a firmness that didn't match her age. "You will all grow up and have your own families. Sooner or later, you will go your separate ways. As long as you children live well in the future, your father and I will have nothing to worry about."
"Mother..." Su Qingluan held Yang's hand, her eyes a little sore, "Why are you saying all this? My younger brother and sister are only a little old, it's too early for them to get married and start a family."
"How fast has it flown?" Yang sighed. "Think about it, you were only thirteen when I first recognized you, and now you're married in the blink of an eye!"
...Su Qingluan curled her lips and complained in her heart: "That's because she's getting married at the age of fifteen! The legal age for marriage is twenty!"
Of course, Su Qingluan only dared to complain in her heart, and she would never dare to say it out loud.
Fortunately, Yang had a straightforward personality and was not the kind of person who was immersed in sadness all day long. So after a while, she adjusted her mood and began to tell Su Qingluan not to just focus on cooking all day, but to take care of her husband and children and have children as soon as possible.
Su Qingluan: ...Well, it’s so hard that I don’t have to be pressured into getting married. I’m being pressured to have a baby at the age of fifteen, so I can say I’ve experienced the whole process.
But after all, she and Mu Xingzhi are just a couple in name only, so trying to induce childbirth is bound to disappoint her mother.
However, Su Qingluan did not hate Yang's urging for labor, because she understood that Yang was not as weird as those relatives who were induced to give birth in the short video public accounts in her previous life.
In this era, women who are childless are usually miserable. Yang made this suggestion because she was worried about Su Qingluan's "status" in her husband's family.
...Of course, what Su Qingluan said was under "normal" circumstances.
What's more, not to mention the plastic marriage, even from a health perspective, if a girl of only fifteen or sixteen wants to give birth to a child, it will cause great harm to both the mother and the child because her body structure has not yet fully developed.
Therefore, even if Su Qingluan decided to have a child, she would wait until her body was over 20 years old before considering this matter.
When Yang was talking to Su Qingluan about "mother-daughter private conversations", Mu Xingzhi acted as the "king of the children" beside them.
Facts have proved that as long as this man wants, everyone will like him. The evidence is that when Su Qingluan and Mu Xingzhi were about to go home, the younger brothers and sisters were not the one who was most reluctant to say goodbye, but they all pulled Mu Xingzhi's clothes and asked him when he would come again.
