"What are you talking about, mother? Why are you talking about yourself like this?"

"I'm just saying this to get the point across. I've lived a decent and reckless life, and now I'm old and going to suffer. I'd rather end it quickly and be reincarnated. Really, I'm not kidding you."

The more Du Jingyi listened, the more unhappy he became, and finally he had to stop her.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Use this little time to spend more time with the child. Tai'er will follow the general to the military camp tomorrow. He won't be back for at least ten days or half a month, so mother, please take good care of him. I'm afraid he won't be as chubby as he is when he comes back next time."

Hearing this, Mrs. Du successfully focused her attention on Brother Tai.

Her eyes were filled with heartache, but she also knew her son-in-law's good intentions, so she didn't try to persuade him any further. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Madam Dou bringing two people in.

As soon as he saw them, Du Jingyi smiled.

"My aunt and sister-in-law are living comfortably, drinking tea and chatting here. I am so sorry that I have traveled so far and can't even have a sip of hot water."

As soon as these words were spoken, even Mrs. Du laughed, and hurriedly handed him a cup, and then said jokingly.

"Didn't I know you were coming? I prepared your favorite drink and am waiting here."

"Aunt is really good to me. Unlike my cousin who owed a debt, he didn't even say he would take us back when he picked us up at the dock. He was in a hurry to do some other things. I even doubted whether he was really here to pick us up, or if he was just passing by."

He was good at complaining. As soon as he came in, he started to talk about Gu Shaoyu in a whining manner. Du Jingyi and Madam Du were amused by his words. Cousin who owed debts, probably the only person in the world who would describe Gu Shaoyu like this was Xing Zhao.

"Be careful. I'm going to whisper something in your debtor cousin's ear tonight. Then your life in the general's mansion will be difficult."

"No way, how come my cousin's wife has become a different person after returning to Sui'an City?"

Du Jingyi teased him deliberately, and then looked at Xia Meng beside him.

She was still as calm and taciturn as before, but she was open and generous wherever she went. Du Jingyi took Mrs. Du over, and they were very happy to see Xia Menglai, so they greeted her.

"Doctor Xia."

"Doctor doesn't seem to be a common term here. I don't like being asked questions all the time. Why don't you just call me Doctor Xia or Xia Meng? They all mean the same thing."

"There are few female doctors in Sui'an City. If you don't like others asking you questions, why don't we just call you Miss Xia?"

Mrs. Du knew her abilities and that she did not want to be in the spotlight, so she explained as well.

After hearing this, Xia Meng felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she nodded and agreed.

"Miss Xia, do you have something to do in Sui'an City? If you really have something to do, just tell us. Even if you want the moon in the sky, we can find a way to get it for you!"

Mrs. Du said this to thank Xia Meng for taking care of her daughter and grandchildren, because she knew that if Xia Meng had not appeared, the four of them would not be alive and well in the world. Therefore, these four lives added up are a great favor, so Mrs. Du will not be stingy in helping.

"You're too polite, Auntie. I don't have a dream of going to the moon, so I can't use it even if you get it."

"Dream of landing on the moon? Miss Xia, are you thinking of becoming Chang'e?"

Xing Zhao interrupted and made everyone laugh. Xia Meng had gotten to know Xing Zhao's personality well along the way, so she knew he was joking and responded with a rare joking remark.

"I would like to be Chang'e, the goddess who flies to the moon, but I don't have a rabbit or a laurel tree. Could it be that I am really waiting for Hou Yi in Guanghan Palace?"

There were not many people in Daxing Dynasty who could joke in front of men while being unmarried like her, so even Mrs. Du, who was well-informed, found it a little difficult to adapt at first.

On the contrary, Du Jingyi, because he had spent enough time with Xia Meng, even though he didn't understand some of her actions and ideas, he could still show her basic respect.

Looking at Xing Zhao with a smile, she was also very curious about how this cousin Zhao would answer.

Who knew that Xing Zhao seemed to be used to it and replied.

"If you ask me, Hou Yi is not worthy of Chang'e. Chang'e is the most suitable one!"

If Madam Xing and the others heard this, they would definitely accuse Xing Zhao of being disrespectful and indecent. However, when Xia Meng heard this, it was exactly what she wanted.

Xiaoxiao patted him on the shoulder, acting like they were good brothers.

Mrs. Du was not that familiar with Xia Meng, and she just felt that her behavior was a little shocking, but Du Jingyi could see that Xia Meng and Xing Zhao probably didn't have any feelings for each other, otherwise why didn't they look shy at all? She sighed in her heart, it seemed that the good thing she had thought of a few days ago was going to fail again.

In the garden, the four brothers who were playing came back to drink some water during their break. Before they entered the pavilion, they saw Xing Zhao and Xia Meng, both of whom were familiar to them, so they naturally trotted over to say hello.

"Uncle Zhao!"

"Sister Xia."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Obviously, the two men were almost the same age, but these two titles made their generation gap seem higher, so Xing Zhao squatted down and pointed at Xia Meng and spoke to the four brothers.

"How many times have I taught you guys this? This is Aunt Xia, what sister? It's impolite."

Tai Ge'er looked at Xing Zhao with a strange expression, and then asked.

"Many times? How come Tai Geer doesn't remember it?"

Xing Zhao was exposed in just one sentence, but he was too thick-skinned to blush. He was just about to say something to save his face when he heard Du Jingyi say this.

"Okay, cousin Zhao, stop joking. Since you are all complaining about the hardship from the journey, go back and rest. You are not tired, but Miss Xia is tired too. The courtyard is still the Huanyun Courtyard where you lived before, and the Mengyu Courtyard where Miss Xia will live is the same. Everything has been packed up, so it doesn't matter how long you are going to stay."

Then, he looked at Xia Meng alone and added another sentence.

“Absolute silence and lack of restraint.”

Xia Meng was very grateful for Du Jingyi's efforts.

To her, Du Jingyi is a very good friend, considerate, gentle and smart. He never demands to know much about her differences, but adapts to and respects them, which makes Xia Meng feel very comfortable.

Therefore, she was happy to live in the general's mansion.

"Thanks."

"Between you and me, there's no need to thank me."

Seeing this, Xing Zhao pinched the faces of the four brothers one by one, and then said.

"Wait, uncle will go change into some clean clothes first, and then play with you guys. Let's see if you have made any progress."
