Ding Ning showed a thoughtful expression. He had never heard of or seen his grandfather's cultivation fluctuating.
No wonder he was beaten by the Devil Lord Kuricamas at the beginning, and then suddenly had a terrifying strength. He had always thought that his grandfather was deliberately hiding his strength at the beginning, but he didn't expect that it was because of this reason.
However, a lot of daughters-in-law at home were still waiting to meet their mother-in-law, so it was not too late to consider his grandfather's matter later.
He had planned to ask his grandmother to go back to Paradise Island to celebrate the New Year with him, but now he had a grandfather, so he hesitated.
His grandfather's state was so unstable that he didn't dare to take him back to Paradise Island. If he went crazy again, the whole Paradise Island would be buried with him, and he couldn't bear that terrible ending.
But out of politeness, Ding Ning braced himself to send an invitation. He decided that if he couldn't go back to Paradise Island, he could just temporarily change the place and spend the New Year in Shengshi Huating Villa instead of Paradise Island.
Fortunately, the old couple had been separated for more than 40 years, and they had endless secrets to talk to each other. They directly declined his invitation and wanted to spend the New Year in this place full of memories.
Ding Ning looked regretful, but he was secretly relieved. He left a lot of healing elixirs, said goodbye to them reluctantly, and directly teleported back to Paradise Island with his mother.
What she saw and heard tonight had made Su Ningxiang numb, so even though she knew that her son had attracted so many women, she didn't show too much shock.
However, she finally understood why her son had specially given her a Storage Ring full of night-luminescent pearls before teleporting. He was afraid that she, as his mother, would be embarrassed if she didn't prepare a greeting gift in advance.
Ding Qianlie looked at all the happy people holding the night-luminescent pearls given by her mother-in-law, and she couldn't help but secretly laugh. No wonder Ding Ning asked people to secretly dispose of all the things he got from Genghis Khan's mausoleum in batches, but kept all the night-luminescent pearls. It turned out that he had prepared them for today.
Su Ningxiang was flattered by so many daughters-in-law, and she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
Especially Xi, a beautiful daughter-in-law who was not inferior to her, she liked her daughter-in-law very much.
In the eyes of every mother, her son was the best and most outstanding. She felt that only a stunning beauty like Xi was worthy of her precious son.
Of course, the other girls were very obedient and beautiful. Any one of them was a beauty that could cause the downfall of a city and a nation. They were all very compatible with her precious son. Even she felt that it would be a pity to abandon any one of them. She even secretly gave her son a thumbs up, who was smiling foolishly.
Thus, a certain nervous fellow was completely relieved, beaming with joy.
He knew that with his mother's remorse and love for him, she wouldn't be too harsh on him for his misdeeds. As the saying goes, a loving mother spoils her son. He, who had always lacked a mother's love, finally got to enjoy his mother's pampering and spoiling.
He couldn't help but want to laugh when he recalled how Kong Xuan threw himself into his mother's arms and called her grandma.
Fortunately, his mother was a person who had seen much of the world, and her mental fortitude was indeed strong. The shock only lasted for a moment, and she quickly returned to normal. In addition, little Kong Xuan was very cute, and she liked him very much. She wished that he was really her own grandson.
This was a cruel move. It was not just a saying that a mother's status depended on her son's status. With the identity of Kong Xuan's adoptive mother, Kong Xuan immediately became the most favored daughter-in-law in front of his mother, except for the two pregnant women, Night Lone Ranger and Ding Qianlie.
Of course, this was on the premise that she didn't know that Kong Xuan was a widow. Ding Ning didn't intend to tell his mother this secret. Otherwise, with how much his mother treasured him, she might not be able to accept the fact that he married a widow.
Kong Xuan came from the Kunpeng Realm. As long as no one gossiped about it, his mother would never know the secret that she used to be a widow.
Therefore, Ding Ning didn't have any psychological burden about this. After all, a white lie itself was a deception derived from the desire for perfection.
Luoxue usually appeared in front of others with a disguised face. Even though she never competed, she showed her true face to her future mother-in-law today, which amazed some of her sisters who hadn't seen her true face. They didn't expect that the gentle and kind Luoxue was so beautiful.
Although Su Ningxiang was most partial to the two pregnant women, as a woman with great wisdom, she naturally knew that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not easy to get along with. Therefore, she didn't show it so obviously. She spoke gently to each prospective daughter-in-law, asked about their well-being, and never neglected any of them.
The most awkward one was none other than Ying. Her current identity was unclear. She could say that she was Ding Ning's disciple, but Ding Ning had never agreed to take her as his disciple. But if she was Ding Ning's woman, the two of them clearly had no relationship.
However, Su Ningxiang didn't know the inside story and still treated her as her daughter-in-law. She even gave her a gift for the first meeting. She didn't know whether to accept it or not. Her pretty face was so red that it could drip blood, which made Du Ningxiang secretly laugh. She didn't expect this beautiful little girl from Fusang to be so shy.
Because she was born in a powerful family, she didn't have a good impression of Fusang, but she didn't have any prejudice against Fusang daughter-in-law. Her son had won glory for the country.
But with the late arrival of Lee Eunhui and Angel, Su Ningxiang finally realized how much glory her son had won for the country. He had even won the heir of the Goryeo Samsung Consortium and the daughter of the mysterious Atlantis family.
Looking at the two girls' well-behaved and fawning faces, she felt proud of them. "This is my son, Su Ningxiang. He has even picked up girls internationally, raising the prestige of our Shenzhou Empire."
If she knew that the current leader of the Royal Alliance, Helena, was so infatuated with her son, she didn't know how proud she would be.
When the girls saw that their mother-in-law was approachable, gentle, and amiable, their hearts that were hanging in suspense were all at ease. They happily spent the New Year together.
The New Year's bell rang, and the celebration also came to an end. Su Ningxiang had to go back. After all, Su Wanyu had just passed away, and it was not good for her to not show up.
Although she didn't care about what others said behind her back, Zi Tong was Su Wanyu's biological daughter after all. She couldn't ignore her feelings.
The girls reluctantly said goodbye to their mother-in-law. Su Ningxiang's face was full of happiness. She held their hands and talked to them one by one. She also said that after tasting Luoxue's cooking, she might not be able to eat anything else. In the future, she would often come to Paradise Island to eat, which surprised and delighted the girls.
They were surprised because they might not be able to be so casual in the future. If their mother-in-law saw them in disheveled clothes, it would affect their image. They were delighted because their mother-in-law often came, so they would have more opportunities to interact and please her.
Luoxue was so excited that her face turned red when she was praised by her mother-in-law. She promised that her mother-in-law would tell her in advance if she came back in the future. No matter how busy she was, she would come back immediately to cook for her.
Su Ningxiang was very happy. The more she looked at her daughters-in-law, the more she liked them. But she also knew that if she continued to say goodbye, she might not be able to go back tonight. So, she waved her hand and teleported back to Yan Jing with Ding Ning.
"Boy, you are really a playboy. You have so many daughters-in-law."
After teleporting to the courtyard house in Yan Jing, Su Ningxiang pinched Ding Ning's ear and scolded him. But how could she bear to use force?
"Hehe, Mom, just tell me whether you like them or not."
Ding Ning said with a cheeky smile.
"I like them, Mom.
I like them all. If I were you, I would not give up any of them, but … Shenzhou has a monogamous social system … "
Su Ningxiang loosened her hand, and her face became serious. Although her son had so many beautiful girlfriends, which made her happy, once he really wanted to talk about marriage, the law of the country and the public opinion of the outside world were not to be trifled with.
"Mom, what do you think this is?"
Ding Ning magically took out a folded piece of paper and handed it to her.
Su Ningxiang took it. On the surface, it seemed to be just a very ordinary letter raft paper, but when she folded it and read it, she could not help but tremble.
Because the head of the letter turned out to be the Marriage Registration Department, and the seal of the National Assembly was impressively stamped at the end. It was also signed by a name that all Shenzhou people and even most foreigners were familiar with. It was the signature of the head of state, and the content of the letter was an official document that specially approved special talents who had made great contributions to the country, and Ding Ning could marry more than one legal wife.
Su Ningxiang was completely dumbfounded. As a member of a powerful family, she naturally knew that this document was absolutely real. No one dared to fake that person's signature, and no one dared to forge the seal of the National Assembly against the world's condemnation.
But what shocked her was how much that big boss loved her son so much that he was willing to take the risk of leaving a serious stain on his ruling career to approve this extremely irrational document.
That's right, it was irrational. One had to know that once this approval document was made public, it would easily become a weakness that the political enemies could use against him. After all, this wasn't an ancient feudal dynasty where the words of the Emperor were absolute. Even the head of state would have a lot of restrictions.
Although she had already approved those prospective daughters-in-law in her heart, she always thought that her son wanted to imitate those rich and noble families, only marrying one openly, and keeping the other girls as a secret room in reality.
However, she had never imagined that her son would actually have the ability to make that person issue such an unimaginable approval.
Su Ningxiang looked at Ding Ning with a serious expression. "Although I don't know why the head of state is willing to show you this document, I suggest that you never use it."
"Why?"
Ding Ning became anxious when he heard this. He had worked hard to get this document, and he still hoped that this document would allow him to marry all the daughters-in-law. But in the end, his mother did not allow him to use it. How could he accept this?
"Because people need to know how to be grateful. The head of state is willing to specially approve this document out of his love for you. But once this document is exposed, it will instantly put the head of state in the teeth of the storm. It will leave an irremovable stain on his ruling career. In serious cases, it will even cause his political enemies to attack him."
Su Ningxiang's expression was unprecedentedly serious as she said this.
Ding Ning was silent. Although he was unwilling, he understood what his mother meant. After all, this was a society ruled by law. Everything had to be based on the law. No one could be above the law, not even the head of state.
In fact, everyone knew that no matter what society it was, it was impossible for there to be no privileged class. But no one would be stupid enough to put these privileges out in the open. Once it was made public, it would become something that some people with ulterior motives could use to attack them.
After understanding this, Ding Ning immediately understood his mother's words. But although he understood, he still felt very unwilling. He muttered dejectedly, "Then wouldn't this document be wasted?"
"You, you are usually so smart. Why are you so stupid at critical times?"
Su Ningxiang poked his forehead dotingly and said in exasperation.
