Chapter 112 Mu Zhongqing Returns_1
Having finished watching the play, Lady Du planned to take her children home, since they had been away for the better part of a day. She didn’t know what Wei’er, that girl, could be up to at home. Maybe, if they got there a bit early, she could help her.
While they were walking, a sudden shout of joy up ahead rang out, "Oh my, is that you from the scholar’s house?"
Upon the sound, Lady Du stopped in her tracks and lifted her gaze. She saw Third Sister-in-law Mu carrying a basket and accompanied by her daughter Cai Ping. They were standing not far from her. Her husband, Third Elder Mu, was also standing there with a large flower basket on his back.
"Third Brother Mu, you...you’re back..."
Seeing Third Elder Mu, Lady Du could scarcely believe her own eyes. She was so moved that her eyes reddened as if her own man had returned home.
"Yes, indeed. I came back last night. Zhongqing and I returned together..."
Third Brother Mu was well aware of what Lady Du was truly worried about and he playfully voiced her deepest concerns with a grin.
"Uh..." Upon hearing that her husband too had safely returned home, Lady Du couldn’t help but shed tears. The anxiety, worry, fear and other negative emotions which had plagued her for the better part of half a year finally dissipated: "It’s good that you’re back...it’s good...finally back..."
All beings rejoice in good news. With their husbands returning, who wouldn’t be filled with words of joy. Third Sister-in-law Mu, eyes sparkling with delight, teasingly said: "Oh my, look at you. You have already become even more stunning in just these few days. Just look at your outfit, you’re just like a lady of wealth. When Zhongqing sees you, he’ll surely be pleased... Huh? Why are you crying? Could it be you’re not happy that Zhongqing has come back?"
