211: Chapter 91 Homecoming and a Happy Reunion

Shanyin County, Zhao Residence.

Meng Li introduced to Mu Nianci, "This is my home, and in the future, it will be our home."

Our... home?

Mu Nianci looked at the grand manor before her, her expression somewhat dazed.

She had wandered with Yang Tiexin since childhood, always longing to settle down, have a home, and live a stable life. However, this "home" was a hazy concept in her mind because she had never possessed one; even in her imagination, it could not be materialized.

But now, hearing Meng Li's words, Mu Nianci felt her imagination take physical form.

Only...

She felt it was a bit surreal, as if she were dreaming.

First, the impact of a dream reflecting into reality was quite significant.

Second, the manor before her was extremely grand.

Regarding this, Meng Li didn't think much of it.

After breaking the mystery of the womb, he relied on his memories to lead his family to success and wealth. Later, his elder brother Zhao Guicheng became a Prince. Although they weren't technically one family due to adoption, the blood ties and feelings were real, which invisibly added nobility to their family's wealth.

Being both wealthy and noble, their residence was naturally grand.

At that moment, a servant standing guard at the door recognized Meng Li and immediately said with surprise, "Young Master, you're back? That's wonderful! I'll go tell Madam right away!"

Having said that, he rushed inside.

Mu Nianci was snapped out of her daze by these words and felt inexplicably nervous. "Brother Li, Auntie..."

Meng Li held her small hand and smiled. "She's a very good person, don't worry."

After speaking, he led Mu Nianci straight inside.

They hadn't gone far when they encountered Madam Quan, who had already developed a somewhat noble air, along with two maidservants.

Meng Li spoke naturally, "Mother, I'm back."

Madam Quan's expression was excited and surprised, but her words carried feigned dissatisfaction: "So you still know how to come back. I thought you had started your own household and settled down outside."

Meng Li smiled. "How could that be?"

"However, I do plan to start a family."

As he spoke, he pushed Mu Nianci in front of Madam Quan and said with a grin, "Here, this is your future daughter-in-law."

Mu Nianci opened her lips slightly and said with some restraint, "Hello, Auntie."

"Oh, hello." Madam Quan responded with a smile, looking Mu Nianci over carefully before taking her hand and praising her, "This girl is really pretty. What's your name?"

Meng Li replied, "Mu Nianci."

Madam Quan gave him a sidelong glance. "I didn't ask you."

Meng Li: "..."

Immediately, Madam Quan said, "You look travel-worn. Go bathe and change first; I'll have a chat with Miss Mu."

Meng Li left as instructed.

By the time he finished bathing and changing, Madam Quan and Mu Nianci were already in the living room, chatting happily.

Seeing Meng Li arrive, Madam Quan said to Mu Nianci, "Nianci, you should also go bathe and change. We'll chat more later."

"Okay," Mu Nianci agreed and left with a maidservant.

Thus, only Meng Li and Madam Quan remained.

Meng Li asked directly, "Mother, what do you think of Nianci?"

"She's a good person," Madam Quan replied, then shifted the topic: "But she is not a virgin."

Meng Li coughed twice and explained, "Don't blame her for that; I was too impatient."

Madam Quan was stunned, then scolded softly, "You're simply being reckless! If she had accidentally become pregnant, how would she face anyone?!"

Meng Li replied, "I know that, so we've always been careful."

Madam Quan's expression softened slightly, and she asked, "So, you've set your heart on her?"

Meng Li nodded. "That's right. I came back this time to arrange the wedding."

Madam Quan thought for a moment and agreed, "Alright, then take Mu Nianci to your Uncle's residence later so she can meet everyone. Then invite your Uncle over so we can discuss the wedding together."

"Okay," Meng Li agreed and changed the subject.

Before long, Mu Nianci returned wearing a long dress.

The more Madam Quan looked at her, the more satisfied she became, offering another round of praise.

It wasn't until Mu Nianci felt embarrassed that Meng Li smiled and took her to see his Uncle and aunt.

When Quan Baoshou and his wife learned he was back and had brought a wife, they were also pleasantly surprised.

After a period of pleasantries and introductions, Meng Li spoke about his wedding.

Without a second word, Quan Baoshou went to the Zhao Residence to discuss it with Madam Quan and Meng Li.

After comprehensive consideration, they set the wedding date for the seventh day of the month after next.

The reason for such a long delay was that the people to be invited lived far away.

For example, Zhao Guicheng, Yang Tiexin's family, Guo Jing, and Huang Rong.

Once the wedding date was set, they began preparations.

While Quan Baoshou and Madam Quan handled other matters, Meng Li's task was to write invitations for Yang Tiexin's family, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, and others.

After a busy period, he became relatively idle. Every day, besides practicing his Martial Arts and studying his newly acquired knowledge, he took Mu Nianci for strolls around Shanyin County—both to revisit old haunts and to familiarize her with the environment.

Amidst this leisure, two months slipped away unnoticed.

On the fifth day of the wedding month, someone arrived: Yang Tiexin's family.

"Foster Father, Foster Mother, Younger Brother Kang."

Mu Nianci stepped forward with a surprise greeting.

Meng Li also followed with a greeting.

Then, the two of them noticed a beautiful girl in plain clothes following Yang Kang.

When Meng Li saw her face clearly, his expression became peculiar.

Because he recognized her face; she was the Li Mochou from the 2005 version of Return of the Condor Heroes.

So, the sequel to the 2008 version of Legend of the Condor Heroes is the 2005 version of Return of the Condor Heroes?

This is a bit of a reversal of the natural order!

Following this development, wouldn't the Huang Rong of this world eventually grow up to look like the Yao Yue of his previous life?

This...

Meng Li found it a bit hard to imagine.

Simply because the two looked nothing alike.

At this moment, Li Mochou noticed the strangeness in his eyes and asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Meng Li snapped out of it and asked instead, "If I'm not mistaken, you must be Li Mochou from the Tomb of the Living Dead on Zhongnan Mountain, right?"

Li Mochou nodded. "That's right. Is there a problem?"

Meng Li said, "I know a thing or two about the grievances between your Ancestral Master Senior Lin and the Quanzhen Ancestral Master The Real Person of Chongyang. So, I'm curious. You are a successor of the Ancient Tomb Sect, and Yang Kang is a Disciple of the Quanzhen Sect. According to the rules of the Ancient Tomb Sect, you should be repelled by him. Why have you ended up together instead?"

Li Mochou and Yang Kang exchanged a glance.

Then, Yang Kang said, "It's a long story."

Just as he finished speaking, a surprised shout came from a distance: "Younger Brother Kang, Uncle, Auntie Yang, you've come too!"

Everyone turned their heads toward the sound and saw that the speaker was indeed Guo Jing.

Beside him stood Huang Rong, the Jiangnan Six Monsters, and a sturdy woman.

The moment they saw that woman, Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiruo cried out in surprise together, "Sister-in-law Guo!?"

That woman was indeed Guo Jing's mother, Li Ping.

Seeing Yang Tiexin and his wife, Li Ping was equally excited. "Sister Xiruo, Brother Yang."

Meng Li was somewhat surprised.

Guo Jing actually managed to bring his mother back to the Central Plains smoothly?

Could that Prodigy in the Great Desert have agreed to this?

However, with Huang Rong's wit and Guo Jing's Martial Arts, accomplishing this wouldn't be difficult.

Ultimately, this is a Wuxia world.

Thinking of this, Meng Li smiled and said, "Everyone, why don't we go inside before we continue talking?"
