This was the first time Mu Jingshu had ever seen such a lively scene; it was a liveliness she had never witnessed in Kyoto.
No, she seemed to have seen something similar when she went to visit troops with her grandfather during the Chinese New Year, but it also seemed different.
It's hard to describe, maybe it's because I'm too young to describe it properly.
Wow! This girl is really pretty!
Who is this?
"You don't know yet? This is Mu Zhiqing's sister."
"Mu Zhiqing's sister? Is Mu Zhiqing's sister visiting our village?"
"I just heard they've all been sent to school. Does that mean they'll be staying with our brigade leader?"
"How could that be? She's a young lady from Kyoto. How could she possibly adapt to life in our countryside?"
"What's wrong with the countryside? I love our countryside. We have meat to eat, and if we want seafood, we can go fishing. City people buy everything. What's so great about that?"
"What... what do you mean by 'eat'... what do you mean by 'sour'? What's that saying again?"
"Sour grapes," Xu Laosan suddenly said.
A sharp-eyed woman spotted Xu Laosan and greeted him awkwardly, "It's Laosan! Why are you walking so quietly? Did you go to practice some martial arts again?"
The other women burst into laughter.
Anyway, wherever Xu Laosan is, there's bound to be some excitement.
Xu Laosan tilted his head back; he wasn't going to bother arguing with these ignorant fools.
With all this chattering, does he really need to use martial arts to hide his footsteps? They probably wouldn't even hear him marching.
That gossipy woman, all she knows is gossiping about family matters. His mother is so much better, her mother…
No, his mother also enjoys gossiping about family matters.
Haha, but his mother is cuter than them. Xu Laosan is just so hypocritical.
Mu Jingshu blinked her big eyes, looking around and touching everything with great curiosity.
"Jingshu, come here." Grandma Xu beckoned to Mu Jingshu.
Mu Jingshu happily ran over, "Grandma, what's up?"
As soon as Mu Jingshu finished speaking, Old Madam Xu stuffed a bite of meat into her mouth.
Mmm, so delicious!
Mu Jingshu squinted her eyes, enjoying the delicious food.
The look of enjoyment on her face amused Grandma Xu, so she gave her a special meal and let her sit in the corner to eat.
Mu Jingshu felt that she had never eaten anything so delicious before. No wonder her brother and Brother Jiang liked this place so much.
She likes it too, she likes it so much!
I love the mountains here!
I love the water here!
People who like this place!
I love the food here even more!!!
Hehehe, Mu Jingshu chuckled as she ate; she didn't want to go back to Kyoto.
The men of the Mu family were all extremely busy and didn't even have time to drink water. They never expected that their only daughter was about to be lost.
Now is the critical moment for whether the Mu family has truly overcome this hurdle. Thanks to Mu Jingshu's efforts, he has collected all the key evidence against his mortal enemy and is just waiting for Old Master Mu's order.
Mu Jingheng was anxious; Xu Xinning had been gone for so long, and he was eager to return!
I reckon he won't be able to stay in Xujia Village for long after this is over, because his older brother's situation is even more troublesome!
I wonder if his older brother will still be in trouble after taking down his arch-enemy this time?
Regardless of whether his older brother will be in trouble, he is definitely going there. The hidden power there is too secretive, too strange, and too powerful. He doesn't even know if he can use his rebirth to avoid danger. If he is in such a state, then those who are groping blindly without knowing the situation are even more likely to be in danger.
Mu Jingheng had thought it through. He absolutely had to bring Xu Xinning with him this time, because only Xu Xinning could solve many of the problems there.
Fortunately, they all had their own personal space; otherwise, Mu Jingheng wouldn't have dared to take the risk. With his personal space, Mu Jingheng believed he could protect Xu Xinning.
Thinking about Xu Xinning's abilities, Mu Jingheng smiled. Who knows who will protect whom in the end?
Having not slept well for several days, Mu Jingheng was feeling the strain even with the health-boosting pills Xu Xinning was giving him. He dragged his heavy steps back to the compound, intending to get some rest.
They unexpectedly ran into the mysterious second daughter-in-law of the Wu family at the door.
As usual, she covered herself up completely. If it weren't for her conspicuous attire, Mu Jingheng wouldn't have recognized her as the wife of the second son of the Wu family.
Although the two families had a good relationship, he had only met the second son's wife, Mu Jingheng, a few times, and what was even stranger was that he didn't remember what she looked like.
Although he used to disregard these unimportant people, he has such a good memory that anything he's seen will automatically enter his mind, and he can't forget it even if he wants to.
The wife of the second son of the Wu family was an exception; he didn't even remember her face.
He hadn't realized this problem before, but after Xu Xinning mentioned it last time, he started to pay attention to this person.
Although he found the whole thing absurd, who could guarantee it wasn't true?
Face-changing techniques existed in ancient times. Although the official Chinese authorities haven't heard of them yet, it doesn't guarantee that there aren't skilled individuals among the common people.
But if that's the case, what is her purpose?
He truly witnessed her attempt to harm Jiang Juecheng during the landslide in Xujia Village, but she ultimately saved Xu Xinning. Therefore, Mu Jingheng had mixed feelings about Wang Ying.
He carefully reviewed his memories of his past life, and found that the second daughter-in-law of the Wu family had not left him with any special impression.
As Mu Jingheng looked at Wu's second daughter-in-law, she turned to look at him, and to Mu Jingheng's surprise, she actually walked towards him.
"You must be the Mu family's son. I've met you a few times, but we've never spoken. I never expected to run into you today," said the second daughter-in-law of the Wu family with a smile.
Mu Jingheng composed himself and politely said, "Auntie!"
Wu's second son's wife smiled gently, "Everyone says that Mu's second son is a reckless spoiled brat, but after seeing him today, I don't think so. A person's eyes don't lie the most, and I see righteousness in your eyes."
Mu Jingheng froze, not expecting this person's eyes to be so sharp. This was very different from the legendary second daughter-in-law of the Wu family.
With this realization, Mu Jingheng became even more vigilant.
Seeing that Mu Jingheng remained silent, Wu's second daughter-in-law continued, "Don't be surprised. I've just experienced too many things and seen too many people, and I've been sick for many years, so I'm particularly sensitive to these things. What about your fiancée? I like her very much, but it seems like I haven't seen her in a long time."
Mu Jingheng didn't expect her to ask about Xu Xinning, and then he remembered Xu Xinning's suspicions. He couldn't help but stare at Wu's second daughter-in-law a few more times.
This person does not look like Wang Ying at all, but upon closer inspection, they do seem to resemble him somewhat; it's a rather peculiar feeling.
When Wu's second daughter-in-law saw Mu Jingheng staring at her, she smiled with relief, "Don't you also think I'm like the old friend your fiancée mentioned? I'm also very curious about what kind of person she is because you keep bringing me up like this."
Mu Jingheng suddenly asked, "Auntie, where are you from? Do you have any sisters?"
Wu's second daughter-in-law didn't laugh at Mu Jingheng. Instead, she seemed to be carefully considering something. After a long while, she said, "I had already forgotten about this matter, but now that you've brought it up, it reminds me of some things."
