If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

Meixiang and her group hurried back to Liu's house before dinner.

Only after stepping into the gate of Liu's house did Meixiang finally breathe a sigh of relief. This was the longest time she had been away from home since she could remember.

Seeing the beautiful woman standing at the door of the main room, Meixiang ran over with a cry, reached out and hugged her mother tightly, refusing to let go.

The beautiful woman looked sideways at her daughter and couldn't help but joked, "You've been spending too much time with Fat Tiger and Little Fatty lately, so you've started to howl."

She patted Meixiang's back gently and said, "You have lost all the manners of a lady from a noble family. What a shame."

"I miss my mother."

This sentence stopped the beautiful woman from speaking next. She missed her daughter too, but her heart had been in her throat these days and she had not felt at ease for a single day.

After half a cup of tea, Meixiang finally let go of the beautiful woman, "Mother, I'm going to go wash up first. Aunt Li didn't prepare any delicious food? I'm so greedy."

At dinner, everyone in the room couldn't help but shed tears as they watched Meixiang wolfing down her food. How long had it been since they had a meal?!

"Sister Xiang'er, eat slowly. No one is going to snatch the food from you." Chu Zeming put down the chopsticks in his hand.

Situ Yixu turned his head to look at his younger brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Apart from being a little darker and thinner, there were no other changes. But he gave people the feeling that something was different.

"Eat slowly too," he advised his brother as he served him food. "Have you never had enough to eat these days?"

After eating two bowls of rice, Situ Yidong finally felt his stomach was full. Then he raised his head and took the time to answer his brother's question.

"Don't even mention it. People in that tribe don't even eat meat. There's no meat at all. The fat I've had for more than ten years has all been shaved off in the past few days."

"Don't eat meat?" Feng Yizheng asked in surprise.

"Well, they have different religious beliefs from ours," Meixiang took the time to interrupt.

Mr. Dou, who was sitting at the same table, never raised his head from beginning to end, and just kept eating with his head down.

Seeing this, no matter how many questions you have in your mind, you have to swallow them silently. In this big world, eating is the most important thing for these three people.

After waiting for the three of them to finish their meal, everyone who couldn't wait any longer hurried to the conference table and sat down. The plum blossoms between Meixiang and Situ Yidong's eyebrows had faded slightly since they left the tribe.

But for everyone in the Liu Mansion who loved her as their own, even if she had one hair missing, everyone could see it clearly. So at this time, they couldn't wait to hear their explanation.

"Let's talk about the other things later. Let's first talk about the flowers between your two eyebrows." Feng Yizheng asked impatiently.

Meixiang glanced at Situ Yidun. She had anticipated this question a long time ago. It was difficult to hide such an obvious thing on her face from them.

"This story has to start from the beginning. I've said before that I always felt that there was something behind the mountains that attracted me. This is also one of the real reasons why I decided to go there in person." Meixiang said lightly, looking at the tea bowl in her hand.

"Why?"

Meixiang explained the whole thing in detail from beginning to end, including the fact that according to the traditional rules of the tribe, ten saintly wives could be summoned.

"I knocked them all down with one punch, and after that no one dared to show off in front of Sister Mei'er anymore, hahahaha..." Speaking of this, Situ Yidun couldn't hide his smug look.

The eyes of Chu Zeming, Sun Yu and Mei Ying dimmed instantly. If they had held out a glimmer of hope before, now God had shattered that hope.

Looking at the gloomy expressions on the three people's faces, Situ Yidong tactfully changed the subject: "Do you know why they are going to such great lengths to lure Sister Xiang'er over this time?"

As expected, as he finished speaking, everyone's attention was drawn to him. Even the three sad people raised their heads.

Situ Yidong glanced at Feng Yizheng, and with a mysterious smile, he dropped a time bomb: "Because if their tribe continues like this, they will be exterminated!"

"Genocide?"

The beautiful woman who had been sitting in the main seat, drinking tea silently and thinking about something, was attracted by his words.

"Yes. There have been no healthy babies born in their tribe for several years. Some are not born, some die young or become disabled."

Hearing this, Feng Yizheng, who had been mentally prepared, couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. Ever since he went home last time and was unanimously opposed by his family, he has slowly tried to let go of this idea. However, facing Meixiang, it is really difficult to give up completely. The word "love" has been deeply rooted in his heart for some reason.

Situ Yidong, who was also a man, obviously understood, so he took this opportunity to give him another good beating. Although they could not use force like they did to deal with those young men in the tribe, they had to seize every opportunity to beat them and drive them away decisively.

"Why is this happening? How can it be so serious?" Situ Yixu had never heard of Meixiang's theory on incestuous marriage, so he spoke curiously.

Situ Yidong looked at his brother gratefully. It turned out that fighting a tiger requires brothers. "Later, after Sister Xiang'er visited all the tribes in person, she discovered the root of the problem."

Looking at his brother's sparkling eyes, Situ Yidong did not keep him in suspense and continued, "It turns out that there is a tradition in their tribe that one can only marry within the tribe. This is what Sister Xiang'er said about close relatives marrying. After a few generations, it is almost the same as two siblings marrying each other."

Meixiang and Mr. Dou did not interrupt him, and were happy for him to explain. At this time, seeing Situ Yixu's gaze, they nodded at him, indicating that it was true.

"It's amazing, isn't it? If it weren't for Sister Xiang'er bringing them this knowledge, could they have figured it out on their own? Humph!" Situ Yidong looked proud and aroused everyone's interest in his words: "Guess what the result is?"

"Not long after the youngest son of the Tiger Chieftain's family and the daughter of the Rabbit Chieftain's family got married, they became pregnant. Mr. Dou personally checked her pulse and found it was strong and powerful. Both mother and child are doing well."

This after-meal meeting ended with Situ Yidong in high spirits and a bit of boasting.

Situ Yixu had already arranged all his affairs. He came here today just to see with his own eyes that his brother and the eldest princess were well, so that he could report back after returning to the capital.

After everyone had left, Meixiang squatted at the beautiful woman's feet, resting her head on her legs, and the mother and daughter whispered to each other.

"Mother, is there another letter from the capital urging us to return to Beijing?"
