General Chen glanced quickly at the cat, only to see that she was still holding Mu Jin's hand...
He was taken aback. Such public intimacy was rare, especially considering the man's strange attire and how he'd appeared out of nowhere...
Mu Xi: "Don't worry about him. Just stop him from coming to find my second sister-in-law."
"The General's second... second sister-in-law?" Lieutenant General Chen was very shocked.
Mu Xi: "Yes, this is my second brother, and she is my second sister-in-law."
General Chen was completely dumbfounded.
Even after they left, Lieutenant General Chen was still in a daze.
Suddenly, Deputy General Zhao strode over and patted him on the shoulder with his bear paw. "What are you standing there for? Lieutenant General Chen, have you figured out the details of those spies yet?"
Lieutenant General Chen immediately looked at Deputy General Zhao, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Deputy General Zhao: "Why are you reacting so strongly all of a sudden? What happened? Did the General reprimand you?"
Lieutenant General Chen: "No! Anyway, everyone be careful, and stop calling her a spy! That woman is the General's second sister-in-law!"
Deputy General Zhao: "How could that be! I watched the General grow up, how could she have a brother!"
Lieutenant General Chen also seemed to be deep in thought. "Yes, but this is what the General himself said, and I just saw her second brother!"
Deputy General Zhao looked incredulous. "Where is it? I'll go see for myself! It does look somewhat similar..."
General Chen quickly stopped him, "Don't go, don't go. I think the General is quite happy. Don't spoil her mood... The General is not General Mu's biological daughter. Have you forgotten?"
Upon hearing this, Deputy General Zhao was dumbfounded.
The Grand General was the adopted daughter of the late General Mu, and was bestowed by the Emperor to inherit General Mu's title and command the Mu family army. Over the years, they had never considered whether the Grand General had any family at all...
...
In the afternoon, Maomao and the others drank tea and chatted at the mansion. They talked more and more, and talked a lot about things in the two worlds.
Mu Xi couldn't help but say, "So, Second Sister-in-law is a celebrity? What movies have you acted in? I really want to see them."
The cat's eyes lit up. "Of course! I'll show you right now!"
As she spoke, Maomao took out her phone, which happened to contain movies she had downloaded before.
Mu Xi was even more surprised. "Is this a cell phone? It's so much more advanced than it was ten years ago. The screen is so big, and the picture is so clear... Haha, do I look like a country bumpkin who's never been to the city?"
Cat: "Yes."
Mu Xi: "...Hahaha, Second Sister-in-law, be more tactful."
Cat: "That's not it."
Mu Xi was already watching a movie. She saw it was "The Queen." When Tan Zheng appeared, she exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that Tan Zheng? This look... is it his look in the movie? Is his hair okay? When he was little, he would get all puffed up whenever I touched his hair."
Cat: "Sister Tan's hair was so good, but now it's all frizzy."
Lan Yan retorted defiantly, "Why did you touch his hair?"
If you touch me, I definitely won't mind...
Mu Xi: "You don't understand. Tan Zheng cherishes his hair very much. Let me tell you a joke. If he commits a capital crime and is about to be beheaded by the executioner, and the executioner asks him if he has any last wishes, he will definitely say... 'Don't cut my hair!'"
Cat: "Hahahaha..."
Blue Flame: "Ha..." What's so funny about that?
Mu Jin just stared at the lake; when she wasn't playing games, she seemed to be in a daze.
"Ah, Second Sister-in-law, did you and Tanzheng really kiss in that scene? Were you dating my Second Brother back then?"
"No, Ah Jin didn't remember me back then, and he even found me annoying... However, Ah Jin is just saying one thing and meaning another. The person in this scene is not Sister Tan, but Ah Jin."
"My second brother is thin-skinned."
"Uh-huh!"
Lan Yan glanced at Mu Jin suspiciously; he absolutely did not believe that Mu Jin was thin-skinned!
Days without the internet are indeed long.
They just sat around a phone and watched a movie like that.
Mu Xi was quite enjoying the show. "Second sister-in-law, your acting is really good, and so is Tan Zheng's."
"Tan Zheng became a star, but what about Ye Mingshi? He's the most unreliable one. Is he still obsessed with racing? And Gu Zeyi? He's the most cunning. I'm afraid he's followed in Grandpa Gu's footsteps and gone into politics, right?"
"Ye Mingshi is reliable now, and Gu Zeyi has joined the archives department."
"Have they grown up to be ugly?"
"I have photos!"
Mu Xi saw many photos, and that world seemed to come alive all of a sudden.
"They haven't grown up to be ugly, and they're not much different from when I left."
Lan Yan finally couldn't help but say, "Xiao Xi, look at me, I'm even more handsome than before, aren't I?"
Mu Xi glanced at him. "Indeed."
Blue Flame: "..."
Is that all? So bland?
"My phone's dead, Second Sister-in-law," Mu Xi said regretfully as she handed the phone back to Maomao.
The cat replied, "Don't worry, I have many ways to charge it. I'll give it to you after I've charged it."
As the sun set, the four of them remained together after dinner.
All of this was observed by Lieutenant General Chen and Deputy General Zhao, who couldn't help but mutter to themselves.
Lieutenant General Chen said, "The General and his elder brother and sister-in-law have been separated for many years. They must have a lot to talk about. Let's not send the military report for now."
Deputy General Zhao: "I know! But aren't the General's elder brother and sister-in-law too young? They both have such delicate skin..."
Lieutenant General Chen: "The General must also be a young lady from a wealthy family."
Deputy General Zhao: "I think so too... However, secrets can't stay hidden forever, and the Emperor will find out about this eventually, won't he?"
