Chapter 620 Our family has only one rule
In the small living room of the Hengwang Mansion in Danshui City, Dayuan, eight women of different styles sat in a circle of chairs, along with their sons, Luna with a stern face and the obedient son Qin Mo who was being carefully served. The atmosphere was very strange and tense.
"Xiao Mo, despite your flaws, I have to admire you. Your ability to give birth to sons... is unparalleled in the world!"
"...I also have many other impressive skills. I'm knowledgeable in mechanical manufacturing, navigation, and even have some understanding of astronomy..."
In front of Nelia, Qilina, and all the wives, Luna praised Qin Mo's exceptional abilities in a certain area, which made him very embarrassed. He could only try his best to show that he was actually a learned and talented person, not just a handsome stallion.
"Really? I feel like what you've said is nothing compared to your flower-picking skills!" Luna pointed at the beautiful daughters, daughters-in-law, and prospective daughters-in-law filling the room, and mercilessly scorned Qin Mo.
"Where did I pick flowers... I was... picked by someone... okay..." Qin Mo's voice was so low it was almost inaudible by the end of her sentence.
"You spineless coward. It's not like it's anything shameful. You should be responsible for what you did. What kind of hero tries to shift the blame to a woman?"
Luna scolded Qin Mo again, having had her fill of disciplining her son, before addressing everyone in the room: "I was planning to visit each family to see my grandson, but I didn't expect you all to arrive so quickly. That's good, we can all get to know each other."
Luna's face was neither sad nor happy, and she said in a calm voice, "I am Qin Mo's mother, Luna. I was trapped at the end of the world because of some things. Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. When I saw Qin Mo again, he was already married. I am very gratified to see you all today."
"But whether you've entered the family or not, you're all family. Every country has its laws, and every family has its rules. Our family only has one rule: no one can upset my son. Otherwise, I'll have to talk to her about it."
"........"
"......."
When Luna started speaking with a stern face, Wang Yushi and the others were very nervous, fearing that this powerful mother-in-law was going to cause some trouble. But after all that, she just wanted to protect her son from being wronged! Have we ever let Qin Mo suffer any injustice? No, right?
"Empress Dowager, do you think I've said anything wrong?" As the women breathed a sigh of relief, Luna turned to Wang Yushi, her tone quite impolite.
"Uh...Reporting to Mother, please do not call me Empress Dowager. I originally came to Dayuan to live in seclusion while pregnant, but no matter how I tried to persuade Qin Mo, he was unwilling to become the emperor of Great Xia. He was also unwilling to let such a vast country fall into the hands of others, so I had no choice but to temporarily assume the title of Empress Dowager and act as regent. After Chong'er grows up, I will stay by Qin Mo's side."
"Is that so? You advised him to become emperor back then?"
"Of course, if he wanted to sit on the dragon throne back then, we would have helped him achieve it!"
“Yes, Mother, Heather, Isabel, and I all came to help, but Qin Mo thought being the emperor was too tiring, so she let Xiao Ba do it…” Xiao Xiya quickly chimed in, as Wang Yushi was her most important ally, and she absolutely couldn’t let her fall out with her mother-in-law.
Luna frowned. This didn't match what she had learned from Allen. Allen already had a problem with Wang Yushi, and he spoke very bluntly. Luna automatically imagined Wang Yushi as an accomplice who helped Emperor Zhaowu bully his son.
Furthermore, she was unaware that Emperor Zhaowu was a cripple and assumed that Wang Yushi was an impure woman. The pure nature of the elves had given her a great prejudice against Wang Yushi. However, after hearing Wang Yushi talk to her daughters-in-law, it seemed that Wang Yushi was not as bad as she had imagined.
"I heard that 18-story building by the sea was built for you?"
"Qin Mo did say he would build an eighteen-story palace for me and the child. I thought he was joking, but I didn't expect it to actually be built." Wang Yushi's expression softened considerably when she talked about Qin Mo. She was only being able to speak to Luna carefully because of Qin Mo. If anyone else had spoken to her in a questioning tone, she would have flipped the table long ago.
"I really like that mansion, how about I live there?"
"oh?......"
Wang Yushi looked at Qin Mo in surprise, and Qin Mo gave her a wry smile.
"What, you don't want to?" Luna saw the two's little actions and was a little unhappy. How much stuff did you, Wang Yushi, take from Da Yuan? I'm living in my son's house, are you going to stop me?
Wang Yushi was naturally unwilling. She had already seen the eighteen-story mansion, which had a novel design and a superb location. She liked it at first sight, but now her mother-in-law was going to take it away. She felt very uncomfortable. She never took what wasn't hers, but it was originally agreed that it belonged to her and Qin Zhong, so she didn't want to give it up.
The root of the long-standing and difficult-to-resolve conflicts between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law lies here: the mother-in-law believes that she can use her son's things as she pleases, while the daughter-in-law believes that her husband's things are the common property of the couple. Caught in the middle, the dutiful son and the husband are actually the poorest and most miserable ones.
"Ahem! I'm planning to build a luxury resort in Ha Long Bay, at least seven 20-story buildings. I'll personally design them, and hire top elf masters for landscaping and decoration, complete with a full water supply system. Everyone can choose any building; everyone will get one..."
