After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 659 First Hearing of Family Rules, Entering the Li Family Old Residence
Sitting across from him, Lin Shuangshuang quickly pulled out a few tissues from the tissue box beside her and handed them over. "What's wrong with you? Why are you reacting so strongly?"

Li Jingmo took the package, wiped his mouth casually, and then coughed a few times. "No, it's nothing." He then turned to his younger brother and lowered his voice, "Didn't you tell Hanying beforehand?"

But the people in the carriage all had incredibly sharp hearing, so the effect of lowering their voices was practically nonexistent.

Jiang Hanying popped a segment of orange into her mouth and asked, "What did you tell me beforehand?"

Li Chengxiao first raised the partition between the driver's seat and the back seat before replying, "Family rules."

"Family rules?"

"One of the Li family rules is that before a marriage contract is entered into, feelings should be expressed but must be kept within the bounds of propriety."

Why is there such a family rule?

Seeing the equally curious eyes of Shang Lin Shuangshuang, Li Jingmo sighed softly, "Have you ever heard the saying that behind every rule there is a story?"

Lin Shuangshuang immediately understood. It seemed that one of the elders in the Li family had not handled his relationship with men well and had caused a rather serious incident, which was why there was such a family rule.

Although this rule added an extra constraint to the Li family's descendants' relationships with men and women, it did indeed prevent similar incidents from happening.

Thinking of this, she glanced silently at Li Chengxiao sitting opposite her, and continued to remain silent.

You've broken the house rules, Instructor Li!

Jiang Hanying was much more direct: "Are there any punishments for breaking the family rules?"

She only knew that there were punishments for violating the rules and regulations of the sect, and that the punishments varied depending on the specific rules and regulations violated.

"Of course there is. Go to the ancestral hall of the old house and write down the Li family rules a hundred times until you remember them firmly. If you still make the same mistake, then double it to a thousand times. You can come out when you finish writing them down."

"Wow, that's ruthless!"

Just thinking about this punishment is enough to torture!

"Then you'd better hide it well when you get back."

She didn't want to watch her cheap master being locked in the ancestral hall and forced to recite the family rules during the Lunar New Year.

Li Jingmo looked at her, then at his younger brother, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

藏？
Given this girl's consistently unrestrained behavior, coupled with her infinitely indulgent younger brother, how could these two possibly hide?
He also expressed reservations.

Look and say.

As for getting a marriage certificate during the Chinese New Year, he hesitated for a moment but didn't bring up the suggestion.

Firstly, the time was too short.

Secondly, although I don't know exactly what my younger brother has been busy with in private lately, based on the sudden death of Duanmu Sen, the change of ownership of the Duanmu family, and the unresolved issue of the corpse worms, I can guess that now is not the best time to hold a wedding.

Knowing his younger brother as he does, he knew that he would only focus on preparing for the wedding after all the current troubles were resolved and there were no more worries.

Besides, I'm not much better myself.

The younger brother and Hanying have already been in love and pledged their lives to each other; all that's missing now is a proper ceremony.

The person he likes hasn't explicitly agreed to be with him yet.

He understood Lin Shuangshuang's concerns, not only about her past experience investigating and avenging her enemies, but also about her body being modified by the corpse-eating worm eggs.

One is a wound in the heart, and the other is a physical abnormality.

He understands, and doesn't care about these things.

But he cared, so he didn't even dare to urge him.

Thinking of himself, Li Jingmo also became listless.

Then I heard a voice from across the street: "Once the car gets to the city, just drop me off at any intersection."

He wanted to say that there were still many empty rooms in the old house, but when he met those smiling eyes that were full of determination, he gave in and nodded with a soft "hmm".

The car slowly drove into the city following the long line of traffic, and at Li Jingmo's insistence, it first drove to the entrance of the residential area where Lin Shuangshuang lived.

"I'm going down now." Jiang Hanying waved to her, "Goodbye, Sister Shuangshuang."

Taking the suitcase that Li Jingmo helped her take from the trunk, Lin Shuangshuang looked at the man in front of her who still wanted to say something, and spoke up before he could: "Hurry up and get in the car, or we'll miss lunch. Your aunt and uncle are probably waiting for you to come back for lunch."

"I'll come over in a couple of days to wish you a Happy New Year."

Lin Shuangshuang paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

It cannot be denied that, deep down, she still longed for that warmth.

Seeing that she had agreed, Li Jingmo happily returned to the car.

The car continued driving forward, and as it drove on, the flow of traffic and pedestrians actually decreased.

As they drove into a street paved with smooth, bluish-white stones, Jiang Hanying suddenly glanced in a certain direction through the car window.

It made the eye on the other side of the scope blink involuntarily.

The owner of the eye broke out in a cold sweat on the spot.

His teammate noticed something was wrong and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"Someone in the car that just drove onto Qing Shi Road glanced in my direction; they must have spotted me."

After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.

"Fortunately, the people sitting in that car are our own people."

Only Li Chengxiao noticed Jiang Hanying's glance out the window just now.

He explained, "Those are the people secretly guarding this intersection."

"One of our own?"

"Yes. There will be a group of them in the middle of the street and at the entrance. Your glance just now probably startled them."

"Then I won't watch it."

Li Jingmo, who was listening to their conversation, was speechless.

They really are a perfect match!
Anyway, he's been in and out of the old house countless times in his life. Although he knew from the beginning that in addition to the people guarding the place, there were also people observing from the shadows, he never realized where they were hiding.

As a result, Jiang Hanying found the person on her very first visit.

Forget it, we can't compare!

The car drove straight down the street, and at the end was the gate of the Li family's old house.

The gatekeeper opened the gate as soon as he saw the car. The car slowed down slightly and drove through the gate without any obstruction, finally stopping in the open space next to the flower bed in the front yard, which was full of holly bushes.

Besides their car, there were several other cars parked nearby, clearly indicating that the area was specifically designated for parking.

Before I even got out of the car, someone came over and took the luggage out of the trunk.

After Li Chengxiao got out of the car, he took Jiang Hanying's hand and gave her some simple instructions. Then, the person who came took the suitcase and sent it to the room first.

After passing through the front yard and then through a simple and ancient gate, which is the second courtyard, you will reach the main courtyard of the old house.

Then, following the central axis paved with stone bricks, walk through the square courtyard and climb seven steps to reach the old house's reception room and banquet hall.

Li Jingmo was the first to call out to his parents, who were sitting on the sofa in the living room: "Dad, Mom!"

Li Fulin and Tao Junman both glanced at their son, and seeing that he was all healthy and hadn't lost weight, they turned their attention to their nephew and future niece-in-law standing next to their son.

"Uncle, auntie."

Jiang Hanying had met her master's uncle before, but this was her first time meeting his wife. When she met their gazes, she met their eyes openly and greeted them, "Uncle, Aunt."

Tao Junman had already seen what her future niece-in-law looked like; a simple online search of her name would yield countless results.

However, this was the first time she had met her in real life. Looking at the poised and bright-eyed young girl in front of her, who was even more beautiful than in the photos and videos she had seen before, she smiled before she even opened her mouth, beckoned, and said in a friendly tone, "Hanying, come sit here with your aunt."
