1054 Path of a Wife

"Miao Miao ah… my poor daughter…" Madam Miao stumbled out and hugged Miao Xiao Miao tightly as tears of joy poured down her cheeks. The mother and daughter pair hugged each other, crying loudly…

After a long time, Madam Miao wiped away her tears and walked up to Jun Mo Xie. She had a gentle and earnest look on her face as she said in a soft voice. "Jun Ye… I'll be leaving Xiao Miao… in your hands from now on… She is young and willful and has been pampered since young. Please be patient with her…"

After this matter, Madam Miao had thoroughly acknowledged this son-in-law! Right now, even if Miao Xiao Miao wanted to turn back, this mother-in-law would instead be standing on Young Master Jun's side!

In this world, how many men would truly be able to die with his woman? From what she knew, she hadn't met one until now! Mo Jun Ye's actions had truly allowed this Madam Miao to set her heart at ease!

To place her future in the hands of this young man, she could really relax! Furthermore, she would not suffer any injustice at all! For his sake, her daughter was even willing to sacrifice her life. How would he bear to bully her?

Jun Mo Xie laughed awkwardly, and in that moment, he didn't know what to say. Even this Lord Evil Monarch whose skin was thicker than a city's walls could not help but blush a little at this kind of trust. In that moment, he actually resembled a shy little boy…

That night, the Miao Family hosted a huge feast, and all the guests gathered together happily!

It was a grand feast where everyone drank until they were drunk…

Only the Qiu Family's Qiu Cheng Yun was feeling somewhat unhappy in his heart. "It's good for you all, since both of them are back, and everything is fine! But this old man's grandson had been beaten half to death by Bai Qi Feng, and no one even knows how he is now…

But he could only brood about the matter in his heart. As for saying it out… Even if he was given 10 times more guts, he wouldn't dare…

The most important thing was that Jun Mo Xie and Miao Xiao Miao had come back safely, and he could finally breathe.

Now that the two little ancestors had returned safely, the crisis that the Qiu Family was facing had disappeared by 80-90 percent!

In the instant Jun Mo Xie returned, the happiest was actually this Qiu Family head! My dear little ancestor ah… you're finally back… If you returned any later, my Qiu Family will truly be finished…

That night, Li Xing Yue and the other youngsters surrounded Jun Mo Xie and began to stuff him full of wine. This lucky brat had actually managed to pick the best flower of the Misty Illusory Manor away and even completed the deed on the same day. Whose throat would they pour the wine down if not his?

Everyone found all kinds of reasons to continuously offer cups of wine, commencing a grand drinking competition. Everyone claimed themselves to be the god of wine, or a wine immortal…

Young Master Jun's character was still very good and did not go back on his words, accepting everything that came his way. Downing bowl after bowl, until his face was completely red, and he swayed heavily, looking as if he would collapse atop the table and pass out at any time. However… this fellow simply would not drop!

This gave others an illusion: that with just one more bowl of wine, this fellow would probably drop…

In addition, Miao Xiao Miao repeatedly advised him anxiously: Drink less… drink less… From the looks of it, she seemed extremely concerned…

With such an obvious reaction, everyone naturally became even clearer in their hearts. Looks like the Free and Natural Physique is very good at enjoying wine, but his drinking capacity is normal…

So, everyone became even more excited, and the atmosphere became even more intense. Forcing others to drink was fun, and it was even more exciting to down a drink… bowl after bowl, vat after vat… one after the other, in a continuous flow…

With a bang sound, the bowl in Meng Xian Ru's, who drank the most fiercely, hands fell to the ground. After that, his entire body slid down like a dead octopus. In a moment, loud snoring sounds could be heard from under the table…

The others were not much stronger than Young Master Meng. Their tongues had all grown swollen after drinking so much. However, they still fought to drink faster… some directly lost their sense of direction after drinking their last bowl, while some tripped over the legs of others and fell to the ground, unable to get up again…

Some began running for the toilet to urinate after drinking, directly passing out while inside. At least, they didn't suffer the same fate as fatty Tang Yuan, which was a great fortune amidst the misfortune…

Finally, Young Master Jun was simply surrounded by a large group of loudly snoring bodies…

The Young Masters of all the various large families were lying on the ground like dead dogs, snoring up a storm. Food and sauce could be seen on their faces, and their breaths reeked of wine…

Young Master Jun still had the same narrowed eyes and red face as before… at the end, only when he saw Miao Xiao Miao coming over to support him, did he pour the wine in his bowl out and dropped his head onto the table… from the looks of it, he was also drunk…

Meng Xian Ru, who was sleeping under the table, just happened to be opening his mouth when Young Master Jun poured his half finished wine out. Over half of it went directly into his throat. In his state of unconsciousness, he hiccuped and actually cried out: "… Good wine! En… one more vat…"

After that, his snoring resumed…

Miao Xiao Miao looked helplessly at this bunch of drunkards and could not help but smile bitterly. For the first time, she finally understood what her mother felt when she took care of her father whenever he was drunk…

This was both an infuriating and hilarious feeling… along with a sense of helplessness…

At this time, Madam Miao just happened to be accompanying beside her daughter. Looking at that bunch of unconscious youths, she sighed lightly.

"Miao Miao, do you know why those people are drunk tonight?" Madam Miao asked lightly.

"Why?" Miao Xiao Miao replied with hesitation. To be drunk meant that they'd drank too much. What other reason could there be?

"Li Xing Yue, Meng Xian Ru, Zhang Qi Yun, and the rest, are people who grew up with you. These guys, including Qiu Peng, Gu Fei Yu, and Zhan Yu Shu who'd unfortunately passed away… all of them had not formally married even until now, because they were waiting for you." Madam Miao laughed bitterly and sighed. "Today, you were 'stolen' swiftly by an unexpected outsider, in such a short period of time. To them, their dreams of more than 10 years had been dashed in an instant.

"Gu Fei Yu turned into a cripple… have you considered, although Mo Jun Ye had been in the advantage that day, Gu Fei Yu's cultivation had indeed been much higher than Mo Jun Ye's? How did he suffer such a heavy internal injury and turn into a cripple? Try to think about it. If you weren't beside him that day, would Gu Fei Yu end up in that state?

"The Zhan Family brothers set up a gamble that day, which ultimately resulted in a loss for them. There were naturally luck involved as well, and the main reason was naturally also because Mo Jun Ye's talent was too shocking. But were you really unaware of Zhan Yu Shu's feelings towards you? Not only Zhan Yu Shu, I suspect that even Zhan Qing Feng also had some intentions toward you, only that he had never displayed it so far. And Qiu Peng today's greatly abnormal behaviour; not only did he throw away his reputation and demeanor of a suave and refined Young Master, he even decided to oppose Mo Jun Ye regardless of the cost, attracting Bai Qi Feng's anger, resulting in the tragic ending of him being beaten up to an unrecognizable state… Try to think about it, is Qiu Peng really such a rash and brainless person who normally does things without consideration for consequences?"

After hearing Madam Miao's words, Miao Xiao Miao could not help but furrow her brows lightly. Replying in an uncertain manner, she asked, "Mother… you're saying… that they did all that for me?"

"If not for who, who else can it be?" Madam Miao laughed bitterly as she looked at her pure and naive daughter. "Take this bunch of people who are so drunk that they'd passed out. Do you think that they're really drunk?"

"Could it be that they're not drunk? Are all of them pretending to be drunk? Aren't their acting skills too good then?" Miao Xiao Miao looked at the bunch of Young Masters laying on the ground in all kinds of strange positions, unable to believe that they were all pretending to be drunk…

"They are of course drunk for real. However, they are not drunk because of the wine." Madam Miao sighed heavily and shook her head. "Li Xing Yue is sociable and resourceful; Meng Xian Ru is intelligent and witty; Zhang Qi Yun is mature and stable. Of these three, which one of them is not a refined Young Master proficient in all manners of art and war? Even since you were kids, have you ever seen them lose control of themselves like this? Today, not only had they lost all their bearings, they have drank themselves to such a state. Yet, they aren't using their cultivation to rouse themselves and regain their clarity… why is that so?"

"Why?" Miao Xiao Miao asked, perplexed.

"As the saying goes, wine washes away all troubles. Today, they are using wine to wash away all their pain and bid their past farewell! To them, this drunkenness is the mark of a new beginning!"

Madam Miao continued in a soft voice, "Before this round of drunkenness, they were still living in their old dreams… that is why they are not willing to use their Xuan Qi to force the alcohol out… This is a pain from the depths of their hearts. Apart from getting drunk, there are no other methods for them to vent. Perhaps the average man may choose to face the pain head on, or a warrior would use a bloody battle to baptize themselves and herald a new beginning… But they can't. Because they are descendants of large families, and they carry this fate!

Madam Miao suddenly looked straight at her daughter and said, "I'm telling you all this not to let you know how fanatical they were towards you. Because, that passion is now all in the past! I only want to tell you that it is sometimes very hard for men as well. There is some bitterness that they can never say, and when they drink… it's perhaps the method which they use to heal the pain in their hearts… at such times, people who disturb them when they are drinking are all extremely detestable. Even their own wives are not any exception. As a wife, you must not lash out at them or scold them, mock them, or even ignore them… only a woman who can take care of her man in such times… can be considered a good wife…"

Miao Xiao Miao's eyes began to shine with some understanding…

Madam Miao sighed heavily again. "It is known that being a woman is not an easy task. She needs to abide by the three obediences and four virtues, remain quietly at home behind closed doors… It's as if the entire world is biased against women. But how many can see that while most women are troubled by the small affairs of family life, their men had to take on the entire world! All their sacrifices and efforts to raise the family, the responsibilities to provide for the entire family are all set on their shoulders… a woman can cry when they feel wronged, and no one would laugh at them. But the moment a man shed even a single tear, the entire world would point and mock them… That is why there was even the phrase 'a real man would rather shed blood than shed a tear'… If us women could choose, we would rather our men shed tears instead of blood… Because crying is not dangerous, while bleeding… often means that we would lose the person whom we rely on…"In ancient China, a woman was required to obey her father before marriage, and her husband during married life, and her sons in widowhoodFidelity, physical charm, propriety in speech and efficiency in needle work
