Chapter 30 I Became the Goddess's Son-in-Law?! (Thirty)
In a cave a thousand miles away from the capital, a black-bearded Taoist was meditating when his disciple hurriedly entered and reported, "Master, Si Xuansu used his sword to disperse the dark clouds in the sky."
In a cave a thousand miles away from the capital, a black-bearded Taoist was meditating when his disciple hurriedly entered and reported, "Master, Si Xuansu used his sword to disperse the dark clouds in the sky."
“It’s alright,” said the black-bearded Taoist. “I just wanted to annoy them a little, but I didn’t expect them to be so capable. This is only their first incarnation in the mortal realm.”
“Master, you are so powerful, why don’t you take advantage of their cultivation to find a way to eliminate them? That way they won’t get in your way in the future.”
"What do you know? Do you think the gods in heaven don't care when they descend to earth? I know Jiang Yiqing has a system that not only helps her regain her magic power but also carries the task of supervision. My identity cannot be exposed to them yet."
"So we'll still use the method of using someone else to do the dirty work? But the Marquis of Huaiyi and his son are too stupid and have failed your expectations."
"It's nothing, next time we'll find someone more sensible."
"yes."
...
Everyone knows that General Si and Madam Jiang are a rare couple in love. Their story has spread far and wide, and many plays have been created based on their story.
The reason they were so popular was that one legend after another was born in their time.
This is something that ordinary people could not possibly encounter; they seem to be blessed by the heavens.
The first thing was that, three years after their marriage, the couple had a daughter, whom they named Si Mujiang.
Si Mujiang looked remarkably like the two men, and was also exceptionally intelligent. At the age of one, he began to learn how to wield swords and knives from General Si, showing a resemblance to his mother.
Everyone guessed that, needless to say, this would be another General Si in the future.
Ten years into their marriage, Si Mujiang is now seven years old. General Si and Madam Jiang look exactly the same as they did ten years ago, which is the second strange thing.
"Mu'er, come here." Jiang Yiqing saw Si Mujiang bullying the little maid again and called her over.
"Mu'er, she's a young girl, and she's even older than you. How could you do this?" Jiang Yiqing wiped Si Mujiang's sweat and said.
Si Mujiang is arrogant in front of others, but he is obedient in front of his mother and mother. She is afraid of Si Xuansu, but affectionate towards Jiang Yiqing.
"Mother, I think she's quite silly. Let's teach her to be smarter so she won't be fooled by others in the future," Si Mujiang argued, snuggling into Jiang Yiqing's arms and taking a bite.
"..." Jiang Yiqing paused for a moment and said, "Teach them properly and don't bully them. Besides, how old are you to think you can teach others?"
Si Mujiang remembered that Si Xuansu had taught her to be humble and modest, and her face turned pale. She said, "Mother, I was wrong. Please don't tell Mother. I will play with them nicely from now on and I won't bully them anymore."
Hearing her say that, Jiang Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief, patted her head, and said, "It's good that you know. I won't tell Mother. Are you that afraid of her?"
Si Mujiang nodded, then furtively looked around. Not seeing Si Xuansu, he felt relieved.
Her mother was strict with her and rarely smiled at her. Si Mujiang knew that her mother did it for her own good, but she also respected her. Compared to her mother, her mother was more like a respectable general and a role model in her mind.
When it was Shenshi (3-5 PM), Si Mujiang stopped playing and started practicing calligraphy as instructed by Si Xuansu. He practiced very diligently without anyone having to tell him.
Jiang Yiqing was very satisfied with her; she didn't need much supervision. Although she was mischievous, she shared the same nature as Si Xuansu, which was also due to Si Xuansu's good upbringing.
Because she taught him so well, Si Mujiang was a little afraid of her. Jiang Yiqing hoped that when Si Mujiang grew up, he would understand his mother's good intentions and the relationship between the two could become closer.
Ten years passed, and the two of them still looked the same.
This incident caused a stir among the people in the manor, and even some outside heard the news. Although no one slandered them, everyone still found it strange that someone's appearance could remain unchanged for twenty years.
Si Mujiang has been fighting with people every day in the military camp lately because someone mentioned her mother and maternal grandmother. Now that she's grown up, she no longer just needs their protection; she wants to use her own strength to protect her mother and maternal grandmother!
She had never lost a battle. That day, she defeated a group of people and even got bruised on her own face. She was about to continue fighting when Si Xuansu pulled her out of the crowd, threw her onto a horse, and took her home.
Seeing Si Xuansu's calm expression, as if she didn't care about the rumors, Si Mujiang asked in confusion, "Mother, don't you care what those people are saying?"
Si Xuansu shook her head and said, "Mu'er, you must remember that truly powerful people don't care about the useless opinions of others."
"I find what they say annoying because I'm not strong enough?"
"This is because your mind is in turmoil. Although you are skilled in martial arts, your mind is not mature enough. Strength can help you defeat those you hate, but it cannot eliminate the resentment in your heart."
“Mother, I understand. I want to be like you, a person who is strong in both body and mind.”
The mother and daughter returned home. Jiang Yiqing applied medicine to Si Mujiang's face and bandaged it. She didn't ask what happened, but just said, "The pain is in my heart when my son is hurt. If you act up again, I'll be heartbroken. Would you be happy then?"
Upon hearing this, Si Mujiang grasped her hand and said earnestly, "Mother, I will never let anyone hurt me again. Neither what others say nor their fists can hurt me."
Jiang Yiqing was surprised when she suddenly said such mature words, thinking to herself, "My child has grown up."
She patted her head with satisfaction. Si Mujiang, being very considerate of the occasion, glanced at his mother and went out, leaving her and her mother alone.
Not only have their appearance remained unchanged for twenty years, but their relationship has also remained the same for twenty years, which is the envy of everyone.
Si Xuansu embraced Jiang Yiqing, and without saying a word, their affection flowed freely.
Recently, Si Xuansu has been considering retiring from public life.
Having served as a general for decades, and now that Si Mujiang has grown up, she feels she can hand over the general's mansion to her and take Jiang Yiqing on a trip.
Moreover, people admire immortals, yet they also fear them. If this continues, it will not have a good impact on Si Mujiang.
“Yi Qing, Yi Kingdom is so big, I want to take you to see it all,” Si Xuansu said.
Jiang Yiqing looked up at her and asked, "Why did you suddenly think that way?"
“I’ve been thinking about this for a long time, but I couldn’t get away from it. In these twenty years, although I’ve taken you to some places, it hasn’t been far enough, and I still have things on my mind. But now that Mu’er has grown up, we can entrust everything to her with peace of mind. What do you think?”
Jiang Yiqing was quite tempted by the suggestion. After all, she had been staying in the General's Mansion for a long time, and it would be a lie to say that she wasn't interested in the outside world.
"It's all up to you to decide, but can Mu'er shoulder this responsibility alone?" Jiang Yiqing was still worried about her daughter.
“I think she can,” Si Xuansu said with a smile, kissing her dark hair. “After all, she’s our daughter.”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and that's how they made their decision.
Poor Si Mujiang, she has no idea that her mother and maternal mother are going to abandon her and go sightseeing!
Three days later, she learned everything. Although she was extremely reluctant to leave and even wanted to cry and beg them to stay, she thought her mother and maternal mother felt the same way. She couldn't be so selfish. If her mother and maternal mother wanted to leave, she should respect their choice.
"Mother, dear Mother, I hope you have a good time outside, but please don't forget to come back and see me, okay?" She always felt that the two of them would get so caught up in their fun that they would forget about her, and then she would become a child without a mother, which would be very tragic.
“We will come back to visit you,” the two said.
As it turned out, they initially kept their promise and would come back to see her two or three times a year. Later, they came back once a year, and then once every few years.
Each time they returned, their appearance remained unchanged, which didn't bother Si Mujiang; she had long known about their extraordinary nature.
Si Mujiang never saw them again, but the descendants of the Si and Jiang families were secretly protected by immortals, thus becoming an immortal family for generations.
