The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

The three children were having a blast barbecuing meat, and seeing this, the adults became eager as well, each taking a few skewers to place on the wire clamp.

"You sure know how to have fun, starting a barbecue at home."

"Tsk, these two are already an old married couple, yet they’re imitating those young boys and girls with spring fever, running off to enjoy the romantic pleasures of life, satisfying all of our appetites in the process," said Baili Yan, after which Mu Shaoling also made a joking remark.

"Eating can’t even shut you up," Ye Zi’an snorted coldly.

"Uncle Shaoling, tomorrow my beautiful dad is taking me to enjoy the romantic pleasures of life. Do you want to come along?" From another small fire, Old Mu was barbecuing with Yangyang and a few others; hearing the adults talk, Yangyang looked up and asked.

"Brother, ’enjoying the romantic pleasures of life’ isn’t used that way." At these words, Lele was bewildered—what were they even talking about?

"It doesn’t matter." Yangyang waved her hand nonchalantly. "As long as the adults understand, that’s good enough."

"Haha," Mu Shaoling laughed, "Are you guys going hunting again tomorrow? But I won’t join; I need to study medicine. Just hunt a little extra and share some with me."

"I sent so much today, and it’s still not enough for you to eat?"

"Don’t be so stingy, Xiao’an. Send more my way; my family is hosting a New Year’s banquet the day after tomorrow, and it would be handy."

"Pffft"

Ye Zi’an felt like he had suffered internal injuries. Could this man have any shame? What did his family’s New Year’s banquet have to do with him? And he’s expected to hunt for his use?

"So, do you agree or not?" Mu Shaoling patted him on the shoulder with a smile, his insinuation clear—not too obvious—that if you don’t agree, I won’t keep your secret.

"Fine!" Ye Zi’an gritted his teeth and consented; this man could be so exasperating!

Yang Chuxia watched the subtle interaction between them, her eyes flickering.

The next day, Ye Zi’an and Yang Chuxia took the two children for another trip to the imperial family’s hunting grounds; joining them this time were Baili Yan and his legitimate son.

Once at the imperial hunting grounds, the children went wild with excitement. The adults, each accompanying a child, rode horses and shot arrows, hunting their prey, while poor Ye Zi’an, who was not very good at archery, could only pick up the game for everyone below.

By evening time, almost all the game had been sent to Mu Shaoling’s residence. Mu Shaoling was delighted with the haul, while Ye Zi’an was grinding his teeth in frustration.

On the fifth day of the New Year, Mu Shaoling’s residence hosted the New Year’s banquet, and the circle of nobles from the Capital City would attend, including an invitation to Yang Chuxia’s family.

Thus, early that day, Yang Chuxia got up and prepared the meals for the children in advance, handed them over to their mothers, and after dressing her sons, the family set out together for the Mu Residence.

This was Yang Chuxia’s second visit to the Mu Residence. Not surprisingly, she saw Concubine Tong again, as well as Mu Shaofeng and his wife. Mu Shaofeng’s wife, a woman as gentle as water, was quite different from both Dongyang and her own disposition. However, although she didn’t speak much, each statement she made was impactful, revealing her stable personality.

Once they entered the living room, they found it already filled with many people, nearly everyone Yang Chuxia had seen in the great hall before could be found here.

As Yang Chuxia entered, many assessing gazes fell upon her face and body.

During the palace banquet, the attention of the crowd had been focused on the matter of the royal title conferment and not so much on Ye Zi’an and his wife. Now, having the chance to examine them closely, they appeared even more impressive.

"Really don’t understand respect for elders, to see an elder and not even know to give a greeting."

Just as Yang Chuxia sat down, a voice was heard—it was that of Old Madam Luo.
