Zhou Xiang stood up with the help of Lu Jing, and jokingly said that he looked a bit like the pregnant woman Mao Xiaolu.
Hearing what Mao Xiaolu said, she continued, "You! You're just overthinking things and caring too much, which is why you're so anxious about gains and losses. You should learn from Lu Jing's attitude. Lu Jing just watched Xie Chen's tantrums like an ignorant child, forgiving him if she wanted to, and beating him if she didn't want to. When your child is born, you'll understand."
Mao Xiaolu was puzzled. "But Lu Jing is a girl herself?"
"But she spent several years in an orphanage and is very experienced in taking care of children. Treating a man like a child and pampering him is also a means of doing good. You can pamper him, but you can't overindulge him. If you overindulge him and cause him to develop health problems, you'll be in trouble."
"Okay! I'll try. When I'm in a good mood, I'll tease him. When I'm in a bad mood, I'll ignore him. Is that the way it is?"
"Almost. You can figure it out slowly. Every couple's relationship is different. You can't force it to fit."
On Tuesday, July 3rd, after Jiang Xuechang and his family of three left with He Rongfei, Zhou Xiang urged Ling Ran to take his aunt to Huai County. The court session was to begin at 9:30, but it was already 8:30 and he was still dawdling at home.

After hanging up the phone with Kong Keyan, Patriarch Kong said to his youngest son, who was still on the phone ordering his subordinates to investigate the cave and search for someone in Country R, "Tell everyone to call it a day! Kong Keyan has received a court summons. Zhou Xiang is suing our Kong family."
Kong Qianchen hadn't reacted yet. "Zhou wants to sue us? What does that have to do with me looking for the natal lamp and my cousin?"
Patriarch Kong sighed, "Chen'er, I finally understand what it means to make one wrong move and then another. Zhou wants to sue us for violating Zhou Niao's right to choose her own children."
Zhou Niao's reproductive choices? Kong Yan?
"Father, does this mean Kong Yan and my cousin are in Zhou Xiang's hands?"
The old head of the Kong family shook his head and said, "If Zhou Xiang dares to sue us, she would not have imprisoned your cousin privately. It is certain that Kong Yan is in her hands. Kong Yan is Zhou Niao's child. In Zhou Xiang's hands, it does not constitute any illegal behavior.
We are the ones who are not qualified to have custody of Kong Yan, except for your cousin. However, your cousin did not get Zhou Niao's permission, so she is not qualified to have custody. Her behavior is an infringement of Zhou Niao's right to choose reproductive rights.
Zhou Xiang didn't sue Xianxian, but sued the Kong family instead. It seems she has a good chance of winning. Plus, Kong Yan is in Zhou Xiang's hands, so I think Zhou Xiang must have taken the natal lamp."
After Kong Qianchen was surprised, he laughed wildly, tears streaming down his face, "Hahahaha...hahahaha..."
Patriarch Kong looked at his youngest son, who was laughing wildly, with confusion, "Chen'er!"
Kong Qianchen took off the ring on his thumb and a few rings on his other fingers, then took out a bunch of keys and placed them all on the desk. "Father, whoever wants to be the head of the family can do it. I can't do it, and I don't want to continue.
In the past, when I took over the position of the head of the family, I was full of ambition and wanted to make some achievements, especially for the development after returning to China. I was full of confidence and fantasy about the future of the Kong family.
However, after meeting Zhou Xiang, I saw her climbing step by step, taking one step at a time.
Listening to her complaining about the Kong family's meanness, extorting money from the Kong family, and finding evidence of the Kong family's misconduct, I suddenly became tired of our family's way of doing things.
We seem to be trapped in a grid, unable to get out, push open, or break.
What Zhou Xiang said is correct. We are in a vicious cycle, first doing big evil things, and then making up for it with small good things. We think we are doing the right thing,
Zhou Xiang said that this debt cannot be settled, and I think so too. This is not borrowing money. If you borrow a large amount of money, you can pay it back in small amounts.
When it comes to lifespan, the more we pursue it, the more mistakes we make. The more we pursue it, the shorter it gets. Just like when Zhou Xiang confronted my grandmother, didn't he say we were too greedy? We want to cultivate and live long. True, cultivation is essentially about longevity. But the shorter our lifespan, isn't that a warning? A punishment?
Everyone urged my cousin to find out the meaning of that sentence. Under the threat of her life ending, my cousin did something to steal the seed.
There's a saying that goes, "If you don't want others to know, don't do it yourself." Isn't that the truth? Wasn't it the Kong family's own fault that Kong Yan was discovered by Zhou Xiang? Wasn't it because Kong Yan's family members wanted to exploit him while also looking down on him and trying to trip him up at every turn that he could reveal the matter of his natal lamp?
If my sister hadn't made things difficult for me, how could Kong Yan have left the Kong family? In the final analysis, it was all our own fault.
I have suggested many times that our descendants should simply stop practicing cultivation. Without cultivation, we will not know our lifespan, will not be nervous, will not be involved in chaotic intrigues, and will be able to live steadily until we are fifty or sixty years old.
But who would listen? This time, everyone's lifeline is in Zhou Xiang's hands."
"Chen'er," Patriarch Kong advised, "Since you believe that you can gradually improve without practicing, then you should be the Patriarch."
Kong Qianchen shook his head, "No, if I don't practice, I don't know how many generations it will take to improve. I don't have that long of a life to wait. I want to live the life of an ordinary person, travel around for a while, and if there is a suitable place, I will choose to settle down. I don't want to go back to the Kong family anymore.
As for the matter of my natal lamp, whatever happens! If Zhou Xiang extinguishes the lamp, I can go back and reincarnate again. In my next reincarnation, I only want to be an ordinary person from an ordinary family."
The Kong family head felt distressed by his youngest son's passivity. He tried to give a final exhortation, "Do you just want to take this opportunity to see her?"
"No," Kong Qianchen shook his head with difficulty. "Kong Yan was born with too many despicable thoughts of the Kong family. I am a member of the Kong family, a member of the Kong family who is as disgusting as a stink bug in her heart. I will not humiliate myself."
Unable to change his youngest son's stubbornness, the old master Kong took over everything on the table.
"Okay! I'll do it. I don't believe there's no way to change things. Your cousin has already found Yu Yi, so I don't believe there's no opportunity for Yu Yi."
"Father," Kong Qianchen kindly reminded him, "The Kong family's pulse is in Zhou Xiang's hands. Her reverse scale is her family. In her eyes, what my cousin did is like pulling out her reverse scale. If you confront her head-on, the Kong family will be completely wiped out."
"I know that I can't confront Zhou Xiang head-on. I will be careful."
"Then I'll pack up and leave."
Patriarch Kong was a little reluctant, "Chen'er, you... forget it, why don't you take more valuables with you?"
"No, I have a few bank cards, that's enough, Dad, goodbye!"
"goodbye!"
Patriarch Kong looked at his youngest son's back without even turning his head, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
What went wrong? Why was it getting more chaotic? Why were they becoming increasingly restricted? Why couldn't a cultivator family defeat an ordinary person?
Shouldn’t we return? But we are also restricted overseas!
Shouldn't they have fled Dragon Country? A desperate struggle to survive? But who would be willing to give up the wealth passed down by generations?
