Muniang saw that he wasn’t speaking, and she was fuming with anger inside. This blockhead, determined to keep silent until death, said in a bad tone, “You won’t speak, will you? If you don’t, I’ll take Erliang with me, and let’s see if he listens to you or to me.”
Jin Feng immediately admitted defeat, wasn’t the answer obvious?!
“Don’t, don’t, don’t! I’ll speak,” Jin Feng was truly afraid of her: “There are people in town who want to harm Erliang. They’ve been waiting in town for over half a year now, just in case he’s still alive.”
Muniang raised an eyebrow, “Are those people the same ones who kidnapped children before?”
Jin Feng nodded: “Yes, they are actually the opposition forces of a general in the central government. They’d love for the general to die. This past half-year, they haven’t been able to find anyone mainly because Tupo Village is so remote they never imagined that such a small village would be hiding someone. Now that Erliang’s memories still haven’t recovered, if they were to discover him, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
Muniang had never considered that Erliang’s situation could be so dangerous. She was momentarily alarmed. If the person she had encountered in town had not been Jin Feng but someone who wanted Erliang’s life, the situation now would not be the same.
“As for the New Year’s goods, I’ve had the servants take care of it.”
Jin Feng looked at Muniang incredulously, she had given in so easily. He thought for sure she would force him to disclose all the issues in the central government. Her sudden compliance was not like her at all.
Muniang gave him a sidelong glance, as if she saw right through his thoughts: “I’m not interested in your messy affairs. I’ll farm my fields; as long as our country isn’t ruined, I couldn’t care less who becomes the emperor.”
Jin Feng’s mouth twitched, it was indeed her style.
“As for Erliang, he’s currently no general, he’s just a farmer who has recently become wealthy. He’s Qiao Muniang’s husband, and my compromise today is only out of concern for his safety. I don’t want to get involved in all those messy affairs,” said Muniang.
Jin Feng asked in surprise, “But Erliang is the Marshal of the Nation, also the heir to the Marquis Mansion. Should he recover, you would naturally become the General’s Wife, the Princess. Don’t you also want these honors?”
Muniang scoffed lightly, “Do you think I’m that superficial? Honors are useless; they’re not as solid as real silver.”
Jin Feng was flabbergasted: “Oh, okay.” No wonder this woman showed no sign of surprise or excitement upon learning Erliang’s true identity; she simply didn’t take it seriously at all.
Qinghe was already starting to make clothes and shoes for the baby, as her belly was getting bigger. With nothing else to do, Muniang was also sewing winter clothes for Erliang. The two sisters chatted leisurely while working on the garments, enjoying their time.
“Why didn’t you go to handle the New Year’s shopping? I thought you were going to go out and do it yourself,” Qinghe asked.
“It’s troublesome, so I sent the servants. Going to and from the town takes a good hour or two.”
Qinghe chuckled, “Didn’t you say that New Year’s goods are only worthwhile if you shop for them yourself? How come you’ve suddenly become lazy?”
Muniang sighed, “No choice, I just don’t feel like moving. It’s terribly cold outside, I’d freeze in a short while. The house is much warmer.”
Because the weather had turned cold, taking into account that Qinghe was pregnant, and Muniang was also sensitive to cold, charcoal braziers were now set up in the house. Inside and outside the house were completely different worlds.
“My lady!”
Erliang burst in, still carrying a hint of the outside chill, “My lady, I’m back! Chengzi just caught a silly pheasant, and it’s quite big—I bet we can sell it for a good amount of money!”
Muniang looked behind Erliang but did not see Chengzi, “Why didn’t you bring Chengzi along? It’s well past noon, and he hasn’t eaten. It would be such a hassle for him to go back and cook now. It would be much more convenient to eat here.”
Erliang, who clearly hadn’t thought that far, scratched his head and said, “I don’t know, Chengzi said he was going to deal with the pheasant and then head directly to town to sell it. He didn’t mention eating.”
Muniang felt Erliang’s hand, which was still icy cold, so she pulled him to sit by the stove and asked Qingya to fetch a basin of hot water for him to wash his face.
Muniang said to Qinghe, “Your brother really treats himself as if he were made of iron, working nonstop. I know he worries about you, afraid that you and the child won’t have a good life, but he doesn’t have to overexert himself to this extent. Hunting every day, selling things for money without even having time to eat. And with his absentminded and casual nature, if no one brings it up, he certainly won’t take his own health into consideration.”
Qinghe also frowned, “My brother has always been rough with himself. Now that I’m not at home, he must be living like this every day. After all, there’s no woman in the house; he’s surely grown accustomed to living freely and carelessly.”
Hearing this, Muniang remembered the matter Qinghe had mentioned before about finding Chengzi a wife, and said, “I think it’s time to start arranging a match for your brother. Life with and without a woman is just different. With a wife to care and ask after him, he certainly won’t be so careless anymore.”
Qinghe nodded, “Right! We really must do something about this. But I don’t know if there are any suitable girls in the village. We need to choose carefully; the most important quality is a good nature, someone who will truly care for my brother. If he ends up with an unreasonable, hot-tempered woman, that would probably lead to chaos at home.”
Muniang laughed softly, “You sound quite experienced now.”
Qinghe glared at Muniang, “You’re making fun of me again.”
“My lady, when is it going to snow here? Hongsheng and the others were talking about having a snowball fight just a few days ago!” Erliang said with an excitement that suggested he was eager to join in.
Muniang smiled, “Soon, it’s bound to snow in the heart of winter. It’s just the beginning of winter now, so there’s no rush. When the snow piles up thickly, you guys will have your fun. That Hongsheng is really something; after the scare of being kidnapped, we thought he’d become more reserved, but it didn’t last long before he was back to his usual mischief.”
When Qinghe heard about Madam Liu’s children, her face lit up with envy, “Those kids are so endearing. It would be wonderful if the baby in my belly turns out to be just as well-behaved.”
Muniang laughed, “Don’t worry, with that cheap father of his not around, we, who hold proper values, will surely raise a child that won’t disappoint.”
But Qinghe suddenly said, “Speaking of which, it’s strange. I thought the Qiao family would definitely make a fuss about the child, but there’s been no word from them at all. I really don’t know what’s going on with them.”

Muniang snorted coldly, “Who cares about them? In any case, we absolutely cannot let them have the child!”
While they were talking, the sound of Li Cheng’s voice came from outside, “Muniang, Erliang!”
