Chapter 730: Missing Chapter 730: Missing Editor: Atlas Studios Bowen and Bosi rode bumpily all the way to Mu Yangling, looking pathetic.
Never mind Bowen, when Bosi rushed out, he did not even have time to sit on the horse properly.
He could only hug Big Brotherâs waist tightly with his stomach bumping against the horse all the way over.
Now that the horse had stopped, he slid down from the horseâs butt and was grabbed by Qi Haoran.
Only then did Qi Haoran remember that this was his brother-in-law.
He quickly changed the way he carried him and gently placed him aside.
He even asked gently, âBosi, how are you?â Bosi looked up and saw the tenderness on his face.
The corners of his mouth twitched as he turned to ask his older brother, âBig Brother, is this really Brother-in-law?â When Mu Yangling and Qi Haoran left the north, he was already four or five years old and could already retain memories.
In his memory, Brother Haoran loved to carry them on a horse.
At that time, he and his sister were very naughty.
While Mu Yangling would try to reason with them, Brother Haoran would directly shout at them.
The hot-tempered Brother Haoran had actually become so gentle after becoming his brother-in-law?
Qi Haoran smiled gently at him and said, âYou guys catch up first.
Iâll go to welcome Mother-in-law.â Mu Yangling was holding her sisterâs hand and sizing her up.
When she heard this, she was stunned for a moment before remembering to do so.
She hurriedly pulled the horse over and said, âThatâs right.
Mother is here too.
Letâs hurry up and pick her up.â Shu Wanniang was sitting anxiously in the carriage.
When she saw her eldest daughter enter, her tears fell.
As she hugged Mu Yangling, she cried, âMy dear child!â Mu Yanglingâs eyes were also slightly wet, but she patted her back and said with a smile, âMother, Little Bear is here too.â Shu Wanniang immediately wiped her tears.
âWhereâs my grandson?
Quickly bring him over, I want to hug him.â Shu Wanniangâs embrace was soft and fragrant.
It was rare for Little Bear to be obedient and nestle in his maternal grandmotherâs arms.
He even looked up and smiled at her from time to time, making Shu Wanniangâs heart soften.
She hugged him and kissed him a few times in a row.
Tjhen, she stuffed all the things she brought with her to him and said, âI also prepared a lot of clothes and toys for you.
Iâll give them to you when we get home.â Mu Yangling hurriedly said, âMother, donât spoil him too much.
This child is very bratty.
His father and I are barely able to take him in hand.â Shu Wanniang chided, âNonsense again.
How can you say that about children?
No matter how naughty our Mu familyâs children are, thereâs a limit.
Theyâll become sensible when they grow up.
Look at you and Bowen.
You two were obedient and sensible since you were young.
Although your younger siblings were naughty when they were younger, theyâve become much more sensible now.â Kejia, who was sitting at the side, raised her head and smiled at her older sister and mother.
Then, she lowered her head slightly in a shy manner, looking simply too obedient.
Bosi also sat on the other side of the carriage with his head lowered.
However, Mu Yangling saw that the two childrenâs feet were stepping on each other.
She also saw Kejiaâs foot stepping over Bosiâs feet.
âââŹÂŚâ Mu Yangling finally understood why her father kept writing to her to complain.
He said that the older the twins were, the more unruly they became.
It almost made his hair turn white.
Mu Yangling turned to look at her innocent mother and sighed slightly.
From the looks of it, Bowen probably knew the inside story.
It seemed that only their mother was in the dark about this.
Kejia took the initiative to take Little Bear from her motherâs arms and said with a smile, âMother, while you catch up with Sister, weâll take our nephew out riding a horse.â Shu Wanniang also wanted to know how her daughter had been doing all these years, so she nodded and said, âListen to your older brother and Brother-in-law.
Donât get into trouble, understand?â After nodding repeatedly, Kejia and Bowen carried Little Bear and crawled out.
Seeing that Mu Yangling was staring at them, Shu Wanniang patted her head and said with a smile, âDo you think theyâve grown a lot?â Mu Yangling smiled and hugged Shu Wanniangâs hand.
âMother, where are Great-aunt and the rest?â âYour great-aunt is getting old.
Xiuhong wanted to bring her over to her place to show her filial piety, but sheâs used to living with us.
This time, while our family heads south, we need someone to watch over things at home too, so she stayed.â âWhereâs Sister Xiulan?â Shu Wanniang looked helpless.
âYour sister Xiulan is also staying at home.
I wanted to bring her out to see the world, but sheâs shy.
Your great-aunt was also afraid that sheâd be blinded by the prosperity outside, so she wouldnât allow her to come out no matter what.â Mu Yangling was surprised.
âWhy would Great-aunt have such concerns?â Shu Wanniang said with a smile, âYou young ladies naturally donât know how fickle people can be.
All these years, because of your relationship with your father, there were countless people who came to our house to propose marriage to your brother and Sister Xiulan.
Itâs fine for your brother.
Heâs a man, so no matter what, he wonât suffer.
However, your Sister Xiulan is different.
Women are so restricted in this world.
If she were to marry someone with ulterior motives, how bitter would her life be in the future?
In addition, she has a shy and introverted personality, so we have to be even more cautious.
In the north, with your father around, our Mu family can still have some say considering itâs a small region.
Even if your Sister Xiulan doesnât know how to manage the household, for the sake of our family, her in-laws will also give her some respect.
But if she comes to the capitalââŹÂŚâ The great-aunt was afraid that the young Xiulan wouldnât be able to resist temptations, that she would be dazzled by the prosperous Jiangnan and refuse to go back.
At that time, who would be able to stand up for her if she was bullied at her in-lawsâ house?
The fact that Xiulan and Xiuhong already made it more difficult for them in such an era.
It was only because they had the Mu familyâs backing that they could live better than others.
The most precious thing about Great-aunt was that no matter how well-off she became, she stuck to her principles.
No matter how much Shu Wanniang and Mu Shi respected her, no matter how wealthy the Mu family was, she could accurately determine her position and make Xiuhong and Xiulan repay the Mu familyâs kindness.
She knew that she was Mu Shiâs aunt only because they were willing to acknowledge her.
If the Mu family was unwilling, what right did she have to live there?
Xiuhong was now married and had a dowry.
Now, she had children and was leading a good life.
Xiulan had also learned a skill.
Even if she went out, she could rely on this skill to support herself.
This was something Great-aunt didnât even dare to think about when she left West Mountain Village ten years ago and left that roofless house that was crushed by the snow.
In her opinion, it was already a huge blessing for her granddaughters to marry into a decent family in the north and live a peaceful life under the Mu familyâs protection.
She was reluctant and somewhat fearful to see her granddaughters marry into a rich family in the capital.
Actually, in Shu Wanniangâs opinion, even if Xiulan had no intentions of marrying into the capital, it was good for her to come out and see the world.
However, Great-aunt was unwilling, so she forced Xiulan to stay.
Xiulan, on the other hand, didnât much mind it.
In her opinion, instead of wasting time traveling to Jiangnan to see the world, it was better to stay at home and embroider.
Even if she wanted to see the world, it was the same if she went to the nursery to help.
At most, she could visit the two neighboring prefectures.
How many people had never even gone out of the county in their lives?
And life still went on as usual for them?
And for her to have traveled to three prefectures, she was already much better off than most people.
Seeing that Xiulan thought this way, Shu Wanniang didnât force her.
Unlike the quiet Xiulan, Bosi and Kejia werenât ones to let go of any opportunity to go out.
Almost as soon as Mu Shi received the official document to enter the capital, the two children knelt on the ground and asked to follow him into the capital.
The reason was that they could barely remember what their older sister looked like, plus they wanted to see their little nephew whom they had not seen since he was born.
Mu Shi had a headache from arguing.
In addition, his wife also expressed that she wanted to visit her daughter.
Thus, Mu Shi decided to bring his entire family south.
In order to ensure the trip went smoothly, he even personally visited the Li family in Jingzhao and entrusted Li Jian to take care of them.
Thrilled at the opportunity to enhance the relationship between the two families, Li Jian agreed happily.
After all, he did not have a good relationship with the Empressâ niece.
If he could build a good relationship with Princess Consort Rongâs family, it would be very beneficial to their development in the capital.
