Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 701: Arrival
"Ok?"

When Chen Mo heard Nalan Yiren's words, he was a little confused, but he couldn't find any words to keep her for a while.

Nalan Yiren's home is not in the Song Dynasty. She came to the Song Dynasty just to find clues about Tang Yichen and avenge her grandfather.

Now that revenge has been taken, it's time to go back. Besides, Si Song was seriously injured and needs someone to take care of him.

Not only that, according to Nalan Yiren, it was time to go back and tell her grandfather's grave that her enemy was dead.

Chen Mo looked at Nalan Yiren and said with a smile: "We are going to meet again after a long journey. I don't know when we will meet again. Miss Nalan, we will meet again in the future."

"See you again in Jianghu."

After hearing Chen Mo's answer, Nalan Yiren was silent for a moment. She was not happy that Chen Mo did not ask for anything in return. Instead, she felt inexplicably annoyed. She did not say goodbye and said to Si Song, "Great Elder, let's go."

Chen Mo: "..."

Nalan Yiren helped Si Song onto the carriage, then drove the carriage into Yangtian Pass.

pass.

Si Song was an experienced person. He lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at Nalan Yiren, who was driving the carriage in a sullen mood. He sighed and said, "Yiren, you are not young anymore. Now that you have avenged your great hatred, it is time for you to consider your own life. I also want to hold your grandson for your grandfather.

The King of Wei is a pretty good guy, except that he is a bit of a playboy. He is reliable. And I can see that you have a crush on him, otherwise you wouldn’t have given him half of your “dry face”…”

"No."

Si Song was interrupted by Nalan Yiren before he could finish his words, with a somewhat depressed tone.

But seeing that she was getting farther and farther away from Chen Mo, Nalan Yiren couldn't help but say: "Great Elder, I like him, but he also has to like me. He has the looks and strength that no one else can match in the world. He has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. You have never seen his wives and concubines. They are all beauties. How could he care about a little poisonous girl like me?"

Si Song smiled when he heard this, knowing that Nalan Yiren was just sulking, and said, "I can't be wrong about people. The King of Wei has feelings for you, too."

"Great Elder, you also said that he is a playboy. Even if he has feelings for me, I have been with him for such a long time. After coming to the Western Regions, we have been alone many times. He always takes advantage of me, but he never touches me. How can this be considered as having feelings for me? If he really had feelings for me, he would not have been able to keep me just now. He even has feelings for other people's wives..."

As she spoke, Nalan Yiren suddenly became emotional.

She is not Chen Mo's woman, and she and Chen Mo are just partners. Now that the cooperation has ended, what reason does she have to stay in Song Dynasty and stay with Chen Mo?

If I just follow you under the pretext of repaying a favor, it would feel like too much of a give-away.

After all, she is the Saint of the Hundred Poison Valley.

"I haven't been home for a long time. It's time for me to go back and pay my respects to Grandpa's grave." Nalan Yiren looked back at Si Song: "Besides, I'm worried about letting you go back alone, Great Elder."

"You just like to hide your thoughts." Si Song didn't know what to say. He said, "Actually, sometimes girls can take the initiative."

Nalan Yiren didn't say anything.

"Da da da"

Just then, the sound of horse hooves came from behind.

"Miss Nalan, wait a minute." Then came Chen Mo's voice.

"Yiren, stop quickly, it's the King of Wei." Si Song said.

Nalan Yiren seemed not to have heard it at this moment, and instead sped up her horse.

But he was still caught up by Chen Mo.

At this time, Nalan Yiren seemed to have just realized it and asked, "King Wei, is there anything else?"

Chen Mo took out a token from his bosom, handed it to her, and said: "With this token, you can travel freely in the Song Dynasty, and the post stations you pass by can also provide you with convenience."

Nalan Yiren took the token, pursed her lips, and said nothing, but seemed to be asking, is there anything else to say?

Chen Mo got off his horse, came to Nalan Yiren, and solemnly invited her: "Miss Nalan, you are highly skilled in martial arts, poison and medicine. My Song Dynasty is in need of talented people like you... so I want to hire Miss Nalan to be the imperial teacher of my Song Dynasty. What do you think?"

Before Nalan Yiren could say anything, Si Song in the carriage couldn't help but feel happy for her. Doesn't this give her a legitimate identity to follow Chen Mo?

Just when he was about to agree on behalf of Nalan Yiren, the latter pretended to hesitate for a moment, then said: "Well, I'll think about it."

Chen Mo nodded, turned around and mounted his horse, saying, "The position of the Great Song Dynasty's Imperial Master will always be reserved for Miss Nalan."

After saying that, Chen Mo pulled the reins, but Nalan Yiren's voice came to his ears.

Chen Mo tilted his head and saw that Nalan Yiren had taken off the half-face mask on her face. Then, before Chen Mo could react, Nalan Yiren shouted softly and drove away.

Chen Mo looked at the direction where Nalan Yiren's carriage left, touched his nose, and a smile appeared on his face.

……

Lin Xuelan's father Lin Kong and her second uncle Lin Luo did not go to Tianchuan with Lin Xuelan and Chen Mo, but stayed in Xiliang and lived with Lin Xuelan's grandfather.

Lin Kong meant that he was fulfilling his filial duty on behalf of Lin Xuelan's mother and her grandfather, and that he felt sorry for the Hu family.

Chen Mo persuaded them for a few more words, but seeing that they were determined, he stopped trying to keep them and headed towards Tianchuan with Lin Xuelan, Yuzhu, Princess Deyi, Shuang'er and Liang Mu.

On the way, Chen Mo also learned the name of Princess Deyi - Xingyao.

……

We have just passed the beginning of November and entered the middle of the month.

Heavy snow was falling from the sky.

On the official road less than fifty miles away from Tianchuan City.

A convoy was moving slowly.

In the carriage, Xingyao was dressed in black and wearing a cape. She stretched her hand out of the window. The whistling cold wind rushed in. Xingyao caught a snowflake and took her hand back.

Although the snowflakes melted quickly, there was still a hint of a smile on his cold face.

In Yelang, it is rare to see snow, let alone such heavy snow.

I didn't expect to see the snow scene as soon as I arrived in Song Dynasty.

"Princess, it's so cold in the Song Dynasty." Shuang'er, who was driving a carriage outside, rubbed her hands. She was still wearing a skirt.

"Shuang'er, we're about to arrive at the capital of the Song Dynasty. Don't call me princess from now on." Xing Yao said, looking at the snow outside the window.

Shuang'er: "???"

"Now that my mother is gone, the reason I kept you by my side was because I was afraid that you would be retaliated against in Yelang. Now that we are in the Song Dynasty, you don't have to follow me anymore." Xing Yao said.

Shuang'er was stunned: "Princess, you don't want this servant anymore."

Xingyao shook her head: "It's not that I don't want you anymore, but I want to give you freedom."

Xingyao's eyes were filled with confusion about the future: "After all, I don't know now whether I will be his concubine or slave when I arrive at the palace. If you follow me, you will only be able to work like a cow or a horse for the rest of your life.

And I don't know if there will be any fighting in his backyard. If there is, you might be in danger. So, after you enter the city, I will give you some money and ask him to register you in the Song Dynasty. Then you can find a good family to marry."

"Princess..." Shuang'er spoke sadly.

"You are an old man who has been with me for a long time. Before I was killed, I told you to leave quickly. This shows that you really care about me. In this case, I can't waste your youth."

……

Chen Mo left Tianchuan in a low-key manner. When he came back this time, Chen Mo only informed his family and Geng Songfu and others, and told them not to make a big fuss to welcome him, after all, he was out for private matters.

Therefore, when entering the city, the traffic is very smooth.

When they were almost at the palace, Xingyao called him.

Chen Mo rode his horse to her carriage.

Xingyao told him about Shuang'er.

Chen Mo patted his chest and promised: "I don't care. Since she is the princess's person and a warrior, I promise to find a good family for her. Before that, let her live in the palace first."

Xingyao nodded and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least from the other party's answer, it seemed that he still valued her and was not so casual.

"Miss, is this the capital of the Song Dynasty? There are so many people here. It's snowing, but it's still so lively." As a slave of the Yelang family, Yuzhu felt a bit like a country bumpkin coming to the city at this moment.

Compared with the capital of Yelang, the difference between them is like heaven and earth.

However, Lin Xuelan, who was in the car, had no time to appreciate the situation outside the car.

Lin Xuelan's mood at this moment was like an ugly bride about to meet her parents-in-law.

She was rehearsing in her mind how to greet Chen Mo's wives and concubines when she met them later.

The convoy soon arrived in front of Prince Wei's palace.

Liang Mu had already left early.

At the gate, Wu Mi and other women, all wearing jackets and skirts, had been waiting for a while.

Seeing his wives and concubines who had been waiting for a long time, Chen Mo sped up his horse a little more, then dismounted and trotted up: "Didn't I tell you to wait in the mansion? It's snowing so heavily outside, it's so cold waiting at the door."

Chen Mo held Wu Mi's little hand, his tone filled with some blame.

"Aren't you thinking about your husband?" Wu Mi said softly.

"Erlang, are you done?" Han Anniang saw the frost on Chen Mo's hair and eyebrows, stepped forward to brush it off for him, and straightened his clothes.

"Well, it's all done." Chen Mo nodded.

"You never forget to bring women home."

Xia Zhining looked at the women getting off the carriage and couldn't help but speak sarcastically.

Chen Mo had already gotten used to it, so he let go of Wu Mi's hand, turned around and waved at Lin Xuelan and the others, signaling them to come over quickly.

"Wu Mi, let me introduce you. Lin Xuelan, next to her is her maid Yuzhu. This is Xingyao, the Princess Deyi of Yelang, next to her is her maid Shuang'er.

Xue Lan, come here, this is Mi Er, your big sister in the mansion from now on." Chen Mo said.

"I'm Lin Xuelan, nice to meet the princess." Lin Xuelan bowed to Wu Mi.

Yuzhu and Xingyao followed suit.

Wu Mi smiled and said gently, "After entering the palace, we will be a family. There is no need to call me Princess, it seems strange. Just call me Sister."

Lin Xuelan was stunned and didn't dare to really call her like that. She still had a clear sense of status.

"Xue Lan, don't be afraid. Your sister Mi is a very nice person." Chen Mo said, and introduced Han Anniang, Xia Zhiqing, Xia Zhining and others to them.

Before they got familiar with each other, Lin Xuelan and the others just smiled and nodded.

At this time, Wu Mi found that Nalan Yiren was not there, and couldn't help asking: "Where is Miss Nalan?"

"Go back to the Poison King Valley." Chen Mo said.

Wu Mi said "oh", knowing that there were details inside, but he didn't ask in detail, and said: "Go in and sit down, don't stand."

Afterwards, Wu Mi took Chen Mo and they walked to the front. Wu Mi asked quietly who had confirmed the relationship or whether it was all of them, so that she could arrange the rooms.

Chen Mo talked about Lin Xuelan and Xing Yao.

After getting the answer, Wu Mi asked his servants to clean up two empty rooms in the backyard. As for Yuzhu and Shuang'er, they were arranged to live in the front yard with the maids in the mansion.

In the warm room in the back house.

Xiao Yunxi was lying on a wooden bed that she usually used for naps, covered with a white blanket.

There was a brazier under the bed, and a white tiger was curled up and taking a nap next to the brazier. There was a blanket on the ground, so a few naughty children were leaning against the white tiger and playing with a set of building blocks that Wu Mi had asked someone to make for them.

Yue Ruyan, Yang Qingqing, Liang Xue, Ning Wan, Xiao Ya, Yi Shiyan, Nangong Ru, and Song Min sat together and played horse racing.

It was lively at the moment, no wonder she didn't go to the door to wait for Chen Mo and the others like Wu Mi and the others did.

Seeing Chen Mo and Wu Mi who came in first, Yi Shiyan was the first to stand up. She excitedly went forward and hugged Chen Mo's arm, saying, "Husband, come and avenge me. Sister Ning Wan won all my money."

"I'm not as good as Wan'er at this. Ask your sister Mi to help you."

Chen Mo smiled and touched Yi Shiyan's head, then squatted down and said to the four children who were playing with building blocks, "Jiaer, Chonger, Youyou, Nuoer, come here and let your father hug you."

The four children were very obedient. They not only came to let Chen Mo hold them, but also asked for kisses. The oldest, Chen You, asked, "Father, did you bring any gifts for Youyou when you came back this time?"

Chen Mo: "..."

He did bring a lot of things for his wives and concubines, but no children.

But he is also good at coaxing children.

He smiled and said, "I brought you some delicious food, but we're going to have lunch soon, so why don't you eat it after we finish lunch?"

"it is good."

"Youyou is so good."

While Chen Mo was coaxing the child, Wu Mi said to Yi Shiyan: "Xiaolu, I have something to do. Why don't you teach Xuelan and Deyi how to play?"

Yi Shiyan: “???”

At this time, Han Anniang and her group came in with Lin Xuelan, Xing Yao and others.

However, Lin Xuelan and the others were first frightened by the white tiger raised by Yang Qingqing.

Han Anniang comforted her, "Don't be afraid, this is Qingqing's pet. It's very well behaved and won't bite anyone."

Lin Xuelan: “…”

This was the first time she had seen a large insect being kept as a pet.

Han Anniang said so, but how could Lin Xuelan not be afraid? She shrank her body and took the initiative to move away.

Yang Qingqing, who was riding a horse, shouted at Dabai and gave it a look.

Dabai, the white tiger who was woken up from his nap, reluctantly ran to the corner and squatted there, looking aggrieved.

Then Han Anniang introduced several women in the warm room to Lin Xuelan and the others.
