My Girl and Tenderness

Aunt Hong chuckled and shook her head. It was indeed lively to have many younger sisters at home, but it seemed that there would be a lot of trouble as well. She had just persuaded one sister, and now she had to take care of another one.

"Mulan? It's time to go to bed, what are you still doing?"

"Ah, Sister Hong..."

Mulan turned around to look at her, and then she noticed that everyone had gone back to their rooms, leaving her alone outside, which seemed a bit awkward.

Even if you have already achieved immortality, it doesn’t seem to matter whether you sleep or not. But naps are so comfortable, so why give them up?

Living a comfortable life is more important than anything else.

When Mulan was asked this question, she looked at the steady Aunt Hong and wanted to rely on her like a real sister, so she didn't hide anything and said with a pursed mouth -

"Sister Hong, I'm wondering whether I should tell my mother about the Si family. My mother and I were kicked out back then, and my mother has been very hurt ever since."

In Mulan's impression, her mother has always been the image of a strong woman who never gives in. Her character is even tougher than men, and she has a very high self-esteem.

It was not until she met my father that she experienced the feeling of being disliked for the first time. No one in the entire Si family supported this marriage.

In the end, he was kicked out of the house.

This was something Mulan's mother simply could not accept.

She desperately wanted to prove herself, and had made some achievements in the secular world over the years. And now, if I told her that she had the opportunity to return to the Si family, how would she react?

Even as her daughter, Mulan had no way of predicting it.

He should be angry.

And... maybe there will be a little surprise? After all, this way I can meet my father, and they have been separated for a long time.

Although for my father, a cultivator, a dozen years may not be a long time, but for my mother, an ordinary person, there are simply not many dozen years in a lifetime.

This is the difference between immortals and mortals...

Mulan remained silent, her thoughts becoming more and more confused, mainly because she cared too much about her mother, and excessive concern led to confusion.

"what should I do?"

I hope Aunt Hong can give me some encouragement.

However, the omnipotent Aunt Hong blinked her eyes and said:

"I do not know."

"Hey?"

Mulan was stunned. She didn't expect that the perfect wife would say such a thing.

"Why? Do you think I'm omnipotent? Can I solve any problem?"

Aunt Hong gently tapped her forehead and said with a smile -

"I have never dealt with a mother-daughter relationship. I have only just met my mother-in-law. I have no experience with this kind of thing."

"..." It turns out that Sister Hong is not omnipotent. Mulan realized this only then. In the past, she had left too deep an impression of Sister Hong's invincibility. She could handle everything perfectly, and gradually people trusted and relied on her.

Aunt Hong looked at her blankly and said -

"Why don't you ask your husband? Isn't he the best at coaxing mom? You should ask him about dealing with mom-like characters, and he should have met Aunt Mu too."

Informed and capable, he is the perfect person to ask.

It's the way he speaks, what "mom-like role"? The tone is really becoming more and more like him, and the compatibility as a couple is a bit unfair.

shook his head.

"Well...it's better to discuss it with him."

But Mulan looked at the room where he and the three little girls were taking a nap, smiled helplessly, and said -

"He's already very tired. He helped my mother and I get this opportunity outside. He has to spend time with the children when he comes back. Let's not disturb him now."

"I see. I think it's just a matter of one sentence, so it won't be a problem to ask him."

Aunt Hong held her cheek with one hand and put the other hand around her body, smiling.

"Although I don't quite understand it, but from what I've seen from Sister Ye and my mother, the so-called 'mother' is not such a weak existence."

"Instead, I will be strong for my children, able to withstand the ups and downs of the outside world, and not so fragile that my children will worry about me."

"So instead of hesitating here, why not just tell her directly that she must have encountered storms no less severe than this one, so there's no need to worry too much."

After hearing Aunt Hong's advice, Mulan suddenly became enlightened.

What? You said you didn't understand, but now it's clear as day. As expected, Sister Hong is omnipotent. Even if she hasn't experienced something, she can still deduce something from other places.

"I understand. Thank you, sister."

"Come back and sleep after you finish your call. You can tell me anything else."

"understood."

Looking at Aunt Hong's slender back as she walked away, such a sister is what everyone dreams of. As long as he marries him, he will be able to have such a perfect sister to take care of him. It's really a good deal...

I like my husband and you like my husband too, so we are close sisters.

Tsk, why is it so weird.

Forget it.

Mulan shook her head and finally called her mother.

beep……

The phone rang for a while before it was answered by a stern but sleepy voice.

"Hello? Xiaolan, what's wrong?"

"Mom? Why do you sound a little sleepy?"

"I just lay down and you called me."

"Oh, I, I forgot you were supposed to be taking a nap."

Mulan was a little amused, thinking about all these things, but forgot this. Obviously, everyone in the family had gone to take a nap, so how could she forget that her mother might also need to sleep?

I work very late every day and get up early, so I definitely need to take a nap at noon.

She wanted to hang up quickly -

"Sorry, Mom. I'll call you back later."

"and many more."

Aunt Mu on the other end called her over. Her voice was like an order, stern and unquestionable, causing Mulan to stop pressing the hang-up button.

I just heard someone say seriously:

"I heard that you didn't even register at the university, so where have you been for all this time? You didn't even call me, are you hiding something from me?"

"!" Mulan's heart skipped a beat, and she remembered that she had taken the examination for the place in the cultivation cave without her mother's knowledge.

After all, with her mother's previous attitude, she would definitely not agree to her going to the school of cultivation.

A drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead.

Mulan's eyes wandered and said -

"I, I...I'm at Qin Kong's house."

"Xiaokong? You have been with Xiaokong all this time?"

Aunt Mu's tone sounded suspicious, and one could almost see her eyebrows raised.

509. Aunt Mu

"Have you been with Xiaokong all this time?"

Well, I did guess it, after all, this kid has been clinging to Xiaokong since he was a kid, and he even wears boys' clothes all day long, saying that he wants to be his brother...

Aunt Mu has a lot of headaches.

After all, it felt like she had raised a good daughter in a way that was a little off the track. She would go to other boys' homes to play all day and would always lie on the bed.

Now he doesn't even go to school and stays at Qin Kong's house?

Mulan wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said -

"Yes, yes... about the same..."

"Then why didn't you tell me before? I thought you went to school, and then I wanted to contact someone you know at your school, but when I asked someone to contact you, I found out that you didn't even report in."

Aunt Mu was a successful career woman, so of course she could tell at a glance that her daughter had a problem. Even if she didn't lie, she was deliberately concealing it, trying to use inertial thinking to make herself think that she was studying in school, so as to cover up her behavior.

"Mulan, you'd better tell me the truth, what on earth have you been doing?"

clack clack...

When parents begin to address their children by their given names, you know something is wrong.

Mulan felt a chill coming from the other end of the phone and shivered.

She pursed her lips and finally decided not to lie to her mother. After all, she would have to explain the situation to her later, so she said -

"Mom, I'm going to practice in the cave."

"..." This sentence made Aunt Mu silent. Mulan was uneasy, thinking that her mother would be angry, but in the end she just sighed.

Aunt Mu's anger turned into guilt, and she said quietly -

"I know. Your temper is exactly like mine. You both won't admit defeat. If someone looks down on you, you'll remember it for a long time... I'm sorry."

Mulan's eyes widened. She heard her mother, who had always been so strong, apologize to her in such a guilty tone. She immediately became anxious.

"Mom, Mom? Why are you apologizing? This is not Mom's fault at all."

"No, it's my fault."

Aunt Mu felt guilty, but she was firm and refused to allow her daughter to argue.

"Your father's talent is absolutely top-notch, but as his daughter, you have no talent, so it must be me, a mortal, who is holding you back. When I was young, I was too conceited and didn't understand the significance of the saying 'there is a difference between immortals and mortals'..."

The result was psychological trauma for the daughter. She was abandoned by her family at a young age and fell from the highest position of heir to the Si family. This is simply difficult for most people to accept.

"Mother……"

Mulan listened to her mother's guilty words, and felt as if someone had grabbed her heart. She said -

"This kind of thing is not decisive. Mom, listen to me. I am now a cultivator in the Ningquan realm."

"What? You succeeded? How is this possible?"

Aunt Mu widened her eyes and said:

"Back in the day when I was in the Si family, I used all the natural treasures and didn't bother searching for them. Even the ancestor couldn't solve it... Why can I practice now?"

"Well... actually..."

Mulan thought of him, covering her belly with her hands, feeling the orchid pattern there, her cheeks flushed. She felt like she was going to die when she thought about explaining this to her mother.

So I still keep it, and say it bit by bit——

"It was Qin Kong who helped me."

"Xiao Kong?"

Aunt Mu was in disbelief, thinking back to that child. He was actually quite good. He had come to play at home before and was a very lovable little guy.

Not very well behaved or sensible, but likable.

But isn't he just an ordinary child? How can he help his daughter practice?

Mulan explained succinctly:

"He met Xianyuan, and then he knew my situation. He spent all his efforts to change my physique. Now I have reached the Ningquan realm in a short time. It's all thanks to him."

Well, actually, the Sword Immortal Technique should not be said to be at the Ningquan realm, it’s just that the strength has reached this level.

The so-called condensed spring is to gather energy into a spring, turning power into a source, endless. However, the sword immortal method does not have such a performance, it only continuously condenses sword energy and forges itself.

But it's troublesome to explain to my mother, so I just say it's Ningquan, which is more convenient.

"This……"

Aunt Mu was still a little bit incredulous after listening to her daughter's explanation. Xiao Kong had just come of age this year, and she had such abilities at the age of 18?

If this is true, what a great favor it is for Mulan that she has overcome the difference between immortals and mortals and is no longer ordinary.
