Mi Xaing 'er was not surprised at all when she found out about her background. In fact, with her intelligence, she had already vaguely guessed the truth.
Tang Xiling held her daughter's hand, her eyes filled with sweet memories. "Your father is the most outstanding man I've ever met. I'm also considered proud and arrogant, but from the time I met him when I was 14 years old, there was no one else in my heart. He graduated from the German Military Academy and held an important position in the military at a young age. He was talented, courageous, and merciless when charging and killing enemies. He was also handsome, and there were many girls who liked him …"
Her face was flushed red, as if she still had some girlish feelings in her heart when she mentioned the past. "At that time, General Duan of Beijing wanted to win him over and marry his daughter to him, but your father insisted on rejecting the marriage for me. At that time, that incident was still a hot topic …"
“”
"So, I've always believed that in your father's heart, he still misses us. It's just that the situation forced our family to be separated for so many years. If one day, you two meet again …"
Tang Xiling's eyes were filled with happiness and longing. "Xiang 'er, I've been looking forward to that moment. I've been looking forward to you acknowledging your ancestors and reuniting with your daughter …"
She paused for a moment …
She got up and walked to the window, looking at the scenery in the courtyard. "As for where the gold bars are hidden, I'll tell you sooner or later, but now is not the time. Xiang 'er, you know that treasures get into trouble, right? You're a young girl, and you have such a large sum of money out of nowhere. There will definitely be people who will covet it. I have to get rid of all the covetous people around you so that I can safely hand over the money to you without causing trouble for you …"
She had put in a lot of effort for her daughter …
She said no more …
She lowered her head, held the old photo in her hand, and looked at it carefully.
After Mi Jianguo left the mansion, no one knew what Tang Xiling said to him, but he seemed to have changed into a different person.
When Zhao Qiuju came to make trouble again, he actually straightened his back and stood out. "What exactly do you want?"
Zhao Qiuju put his hands on his waist and said, "Where's Yu Hongyan? Tell her to get out here! She ran away with her tail between her legs and thought that this matter was over. My son hasn't come home yet. What did you do to him? If you don't tell me the truth today, I'll burn down your house!"
He waved his hand at the people he had brought with him, "Destroy the Mi Clan first!"
As soon as he finished speaking
Everyone started to fight, and the atmosphere in the courtyard turned foul.
Mi Jianguo took a deep breath, grabbed the shoulder pole, and waved it vigorously. His voice was also higher, and he spoke with more confidence. He beat anyone he saw to death. "If any of you dare to move again, don't blame me for being impolite. I'll smash your heads!"
He had always been a yes-man, so when he suddenly got angry, it was quite scary.
Everyone involuntarily stopped what they were doing and silently retreated to the side.
Mi Jianguo leaned on the shoulder pole and glared at Zhao Qiuju angrily. "Don't you know what kind of person your son is? He eats, drinks, gambles, and does anything. He also has many enemies outside. How can you blame me for his disappearance? Do you have any evidence?"
"I do!"
Mi Jianguo snorted, "You want to pin the crime on me with just a pair of broken shoes and an anonymous letter? Bah, it's not easy at all. If you have the ability, go to the Public Security Bureau and sue them. Let the Public Security Bureau investigate, but I'll say the ugly words first. When the police arrive, I'll first sue your son for raping my daughter, Sun Weiyu. Li Bubai has harassed my daughter in the village.
I have witnesses. "Zhao Qiuju was a little scared. Firstly, she really did not have any evidence of Mi Jianguo's murder. Secondly, she knew very well that her son had raped Sun Weiyu. Thirdly, Yu Hongyan and Sun Weiyu had both gone into hiding. Even if she killed Mi Jianguo, this taciturn person, there would still be no results.
Although she was worried about Li Bubai, she did not dare to come again. She only secretly mobilized people to look for her son everywhere.
Mi Jianguo started to come to the mansion to work. He chopped firewood and carried water silently. After finishing the work, he did not even eat and turned to leave. It was as if he was atoning for his sins. Perhaps he had found some conscience.
Tang Xiling was indifferent and did not take the initiative to talk to him.
The days passed slowly just like that.
In the blink of an eye.
Yun Jingting recuperated at the Mi residence for a few days.
His wife served him well and he was in a good mood. Naturally, his injuries healed quickly. He felt that his leg did not hurt as much as before.
It was Army Day. That afternoon, an uninvited guest came to the Mi residence. It was Division Commander Liang's secretary, Pei Yong.
The moment he entered and saw Mi Xaing 'er, he immediately smiled politely. "You must be Comrade Xiao Mi. I've heard about you a long time ago. It's only today that we finally meet. My surname is Pei. I'm Division Commander Liang's secretary."
I've heard about you a long time ago.
Mi Xaing 'er greeted him graciously.
She was really curious about what he had "heard" about.
It was probably nothing good.
Yun Laohu stood up with the help of her walking stick. "Secretary Pei, why did you come here? Is there something you need?"
"Don't move, Tiger. Don't move. Don't touch your wound."
Pei Yong rushed over and reached out to hold Yun Laohu's arm. "I'm here to pick you up. There will be a commendation ceremony for the entire military region on Army Day. You are this year's war hero and must attend. Look, Division Commander Liang has specially sent a car to pick you up. Should we pack up and set off immediately?"
Set off immediately?
This was probably a soldier's habit.
Yun Jingting pondered for a moment. He was a soldier and was used to obeying his superiors' orders. Even if he was injured, he still had to set off immediately.
Although he couldn't bear to part with his wife, he still turned to bid her farewell. "Hey, can you help me pack up?"
Pack up?
Pei Yong smiled. "Don't be in such a hurry. I haven't finished speaking. Division Commander Liang has specially instructed that Tiger's wound needs someone to take care of it. He hopes that Comrade Mi Xaing 'er will follow along."
Ah!
This meant that Mi Xaing 'er's status had been recognized.
Yun Laohu immediately replied excitedly, "Secretary Pei, from what you've said, the military has officially approved my marriage to Mi Xaing 'er."
"I guess so. Anyway, no one is gossiping about it now. The limelight will slowly die down. Division Commander Liang has instructed that for the sake of caution, it's best not to make a big fuss about the marriage announcement. However, he will strive to arrange for Comrade Mi Xaing 'er to follow the army as soon as possible."
Division Commander Liang was still protecting Yun Laohu.
The limelight had died down.
How could Mi Xaing 'er not be happy to hear this?
Pei Yong had been the Chief's secretary for many years. Of course, he had good judgment. "I'll wait for you outside. I'll smoke while I'm at it."
He quickly walked out of the door.
When Mi Xaing 'er saw that there was no one in the room, she quickly turned around and hugged Yun Laohu's neck. She pulled his head towards her and kissed him hard on the lips. She felt that one kiss was not enough. She kissed him a few more times and pinched his thigh with her small hand.
Yun Jingting laughed. "You crazy girl!"
Mi Xaing 'er did not say anything. She happily bent down and adjusted the corner of Yun Laohu's shirt and collar. She was really proud of her husband. This was the military commendation ceremony. This meant that her husband was undoubtedly the most outstanding.
Yun Jingting carefully looked at his wife's face. "Xiang 'er, are you going back to the city with me or not?"
Mi Xaing 'er was a little hesitant.
She wanted to go.
She really wanted to go.
Firstly, she could not bear to part with her husband. Secondly, she wanted to share his most glorious moment.
However, "What about my mother? I'm still a little worried about leaving her alone at home …"
Yun Laohu made a quick decision. "Then I'll bring her along with me."
He did not even call Ben 'er. "I've thought a lot these past two days. You can't be split into two halves. You have to make a choice. Mom needs you here, and I don't want to leave you either. Why don't we move in together and not be separated no matter where we go?"
He loved the house and its crow. Since he loved his wife, he had to love his mother-in-law as well.
Mi Xaing 'er still had some concerns. "The military hasn't agreed to let me follow them. Is it okay for me to bring my mother to the city?"
Yun Laohu said calmly, "There's nothing wrong with it. If you don't follow the military, it just means that you won't have a place to stay for the time being. This problem can be solved easily. If you want to stay outside, we can stay in a guest house first. If you want to stay with my father, I'm fine with it too. Of course, this is not a long-term solution. I'll report to the military as soon as possible and ask them to settle your family's matter."
This man was meticulous and strategizing. Almost nothing could stop him. It seemed like he had already planned for the whole family to enter the city.
Mi Xaing 'er thought for a while. "I don't have any objections. It doesn't matter where I live as long as I can be with you. However, I don't know what my mother thinks. I'll go and ask her …"
She quickly ran to the main house. When she saw Tang Xiling, she did not beat around the bush. "It's like this. You'll follow me into the city, right? After all, I'm really worried about Yun Jingting if you're here alone. It's not good for his leg recovery if he keeps living in the countryside."
Tang Xiling was silent for a moment.
She actually nodded in agreement. "Okay, I'll follow you to the city. As for where I'll stay, I'll follow your arrangements."
Wow!
So straightforward!
Is there some kind of "moths" going on?
Mi Xaing 'er did not have time to delve into it. "Then you and Fu Bowen pack up and we'll set off as soon as possible. The car is still waiting outside."
Tang Xiling was also very efficient. She turned around and went into the bedroom. In less than two minutes, she came out with a small cloth bag. "Okay, don't worry about me. Go and do your things. I'll inform Fu Bowen."
Fate was really amazing.
There were thousands of changes in an instant.
The four of them got into the car and were about to enter the Provincial Capital.
Fu Bowen was the most excited. Along the way, he stuck his face to the car window. Everything he saw was new to him. "Hey, Sis, look here. Mom, look there …"
Tang Xiling was extremely quiet. It was as if she had something on her mind and did not speak at all.
Yun Laohu was secretly holding Mi Xaing 'er's hand. Her large palm was warm and strong, making her feel at ease.
Pei Yong turned his head from behind the steering wheel. "Head Of Yun, where shall we go first?"
Yun Jingting hesitated for a moment and turned to look at Mi Xaing 'er. "What do you think?"
"Let's go to the hospital first. It's time to change the dressing on your leg."
Yun Laohu nodded immediately. "Okay, let's go to the hospital first."
Pei Yong laughed in the rearview mirror. He had known Yun Jingting for seven to eight years, and I had never seen this "tiger" agree to anything. She would listen to other people's opinions so much.
The Jeep drove directly into the military hospital. The moment Yun Jingting went upstairs, a nurse had already informed the attending doctor. The doctor quickly walked into the ward and changed the dressing while "criticizing" her sternly. "Head Of Yun, you're too bold. You didn't ask for leave from the hospital and dared to leave so casually. Moreover, you left for a few days. If your injury relapses, who will bear the consequences?"
Yun Jingting knew that she was "in the wrong". She smiled good-naturedly and lifted her injured leg gently. "Doctor, don't you see that I'm fine? It's my own leg. I don't know where I'm going to recuperate. Isn't it the same?"
The doctor was unwilling to give up. "Your injury is very serious. It's not as light as you make it sound. Also, you're a war hero. If anything happens to you, how will our hospital explain it to the military? Such an act of leaving without permission is simply …"
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Xiaofeng arrived.
The attending doctor naturally had to shut up when the Deputy Director arrived in person. He quickly stepped aside.
Shen Xiaofeng seemed to be a little too enthusiastic. "Tiger, you're finally back. The Commander has been worried sick for the past two days."
Oh
So it was the Commander who was worried sick!
As his wife and the Director, of course she had to be "worried" about the Chief.
Yun Jingting sat on the hospital bed indifferently. She had a completely unenthusiastic expression on her face.
Shen Xiaofeng was embarrassed. She turned her head and looked at Tang Xiling and Fu Bowen. "These two are …"
Before Mi Xaing 'er could introduce them, Yun Jingting spoke first. "This is my mother-in-law and brother-in-law. They're preparing to move into the city to take care of me."
Ah
Shen Xiaofeng carefully sized up the two of them. She saw that Tang Xiling and Lin Lin were in their early forties. They had good looks, fair skin, and a slender figure. Their actions and mannerisms revealed the demeanor of a young lady. Then she looked at Fu Bowen. His eyes were darting around. One look and she could tell that he was a smart child.
Mi Xaing 'er spoke. "Mom, this is Yun Jingting. She's Commander Yun's lover. Her surname is Deputy Director Shen. This is my mom. Her surname is Tang. That's my younger brother. His name is Little Six."
Mi Xaing 'er did not intend to explain Fu Bowen's background in detail. Hence, she only gave a brief introduction.
Shen Xiaofeng took the initiative to shake hands with Tang Xiling. She acted as if they were close friends. "Then I should address you as my mother-in-law."
Tang Xiling moved the corners of her mouth elegantly. "You can call me anything you want."
She was a very observant person. From these few simple sentences, she could tell that Yun Jingting did not like this stepmother very much. She was very concerned about her son-in-law's preferences. Hence, she was not very enthusiastic about Shen Xiaofeng.
Deputy Director Shen did not seem to mind. She turned to Mi Xaing 'er. "Xiao Mi, since you and your mother-in-law are already in the city, have you found a place to stay? You don't have to look anymore. Just move to our place. Our place is big and there are many people. It'll be more convenient to take care of Tiger."
Without waiting for Mi Xaing 'er to reply, she continued, "Besides, Old Yun specially instructed us to bring Tiger home as soon as he comes back. It's settled then. I'll arrange it immediately."
With that, she turned and left.
Mi Xaing 'er shifted her gaze to Yun Laohu. "Okay. What do you think?"
Yun Jingting shrugged nonchalantly. "It's still the same as before. You decide."
Mi Xaing 'er made up her mind. She would settle down first. If it did not work out, she would find an excuse to move out. It was better than rejecting Yun Laohu directly.
Deputy Director Shen arranged things quickly. By the time Yun Laohu had finished changing Tiger's bandages, the military's car had already arrived. There were two or three orderlies helping to move the things. They were very agile and moved very quickly. In the blink of an eye, everything was packed up.
Yun Laohu sat at the side and watched calmly. There was no emotion on her face. No one knew what she was thinking.
Mi Xaing 'er walked over and confirmed softly, "It's settled then."
"Okay." Yun Laohu looked up at her and said firmly, "It's still the same as before. We'll listen to you."
Since things have come to this.
Then let's move.
Fu Bowen held Tang Xiling's hand and looked up. "Mom, are we going to have a new home?"
Tang Xiling shook her head slightly. "That's your sister's home. We'll find another place to stay soon."
Mi Xaing 'er heard her and turned to look at her.
Find another place to stay?
It seemed that her mother really had some ideas.
She did not want to ask too much in front of Yun Laohu.
The few of them walked out of the hospital. Just as they stood on the steps, they saw a bright and imposing Hongqi car stop slowly in front of them. They looked at the car plate and saw that it was the number one local car. The car door opened and someone walked out slowly. She greeted them softly, "What a coincidence. You're all here."
Mi Xaing 'er looked up. "Doctor Xiao, why are you here?"
Xiao Qingshan stood in front of everyone calmly.
She first took a look at Yun Jingting's injury. "Head Of Yun, are you okay?"
She then greeted Tang Xiling politely. "Your whole family is in the city."
