Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1247: Chapter 1248: The Scene Witnessed

Chiang Xiao should have heard the footsteps of someone approaching.

But it was hard to say when that person was Meng Xinian.

Especially when Meng Xinian, thinking she was hunting and worried that any noise might disturb her, deliberately lightened his steps.

In any case, Meng Xinian had gotten close without her noticing.

Sometimes, things just happened to coincide like that.

Meng Xinian had just spoken those words to her, so while waiting for the prey to come to her, Chiang Xiao, having nothing else to do, pondered over those matters again.

Between Mother Xinian and her brother-in-law, between Duan Qingqing and Nian Che.

When she was in Capital City, she could feel that Duan Qingqing cared a lot about Mother Xinian; being a woman herself, she could tell.

So, did that concern stem from their shared connection to the same man—Meng Chaojun, or could it possibly be because of Nian Che?

Did Duan Qingqing marry Meng Chaojun with possibly impure motives?

If Meng Chaojun found out, could it exacerbate his illness?

She had been thinking about all this, so she was even less aware of Meng Xinian’s approach.

Meng Xinian hadn’t completely approached yet; he was still some distance away, but he had already seen a painting spread out on the grass ahead.

Initially, he found it strange—weren’t they supposed to be hunting? Why was there a painting involved?

Moreover, they had come to the mountain today to gather herbs. When had she brought a painting? Where had she hidden it? How had he not seen it?

Meng Xinian squinted slightly, trying to make out what was depicted on the paper.

After seeing it clearly, he felt even more puzzled.

Could that even be considered a complete painting with a theme?

A small pile of carrots and a small pile of rice grains?

What did this mean?

And what was the purpose of placing this painting here?

At this moment, Chiang Xiao was sitting on the grass beside the painting, hugging her knees, facing the direction of the painting, with a basket beside her, not looking like she was hunting at all but rather as if she were daydreaming and enjoying the mountain breeze.

Just as Meng Xinian was filled with confusion, some rustling came from the bushes nearby.

He raised an eyebrow and simply dashed behind a tree to watch the scene.

What followed simply left him astonished.

Two gray hares emerged from the bushes, hopping toward the painting, and once they landed on it, they lowered their heads to nibble at the carrots.

But it was a painting!

At that moment, Chiang Xiao swiftly pounced with the basket, quickly trapping both hares!

”Hey, sorry, bunnies! You can only blame your own bad luck; you’ll soon be a meal for me and Tyrant Meng!”

Chiang Xiao grabbed the two hares, walked aside to get some rope, tied up the rabbits, then glanced at the painting and sat down again.

”Let’s wait and see if any pheasants come by!”

She murmured to herself.

At this time, Meng Xinian’s mind was utterly tumultuous!

He could hardly believe what he was seeing and hearing!

Chiang Xiaoxiao’s painting could attract hares?

And, according to her, perhaps even pheasants?

He couldn’t help but recall what Chiang Songhai had mentioned in casual conversation before, saying that when they went up the mountain, Chiang Xiao always had much better luck than them at catching a lot of game.

Furthermore, initially their family was extremely poor, barely having enough rice to cook, and it was also Chiang Xiao who had caught three hares in the mountains, which marked the beginning of their gradually better life.

He always thought it might have been Chiang Xiao’s good luck.

But having seen this scene, he really couldn’t attribute it to luck anymore!
