Chapter 118 Sister Chu doesn't keep her word

Chu Yian was stunned. He didn't expect Liu to suddenly ask about Qin Sheng.

Although Qin Sheng is a bit absurd, he is much better than other men outside.

To be honest, Chu Yian felt that they were completely incomparable to Qin Sheng, and putting them together was an insult to Qin Sheng.

Seeing the expectation in Liu's eyes, she thought for a moment, carefully choosing her words before saying, "Aunt, you can't just look at the surface of things. Some people may look glamorous, but their inner selves have long been rotten."

"Although Qin Sheng is a bit absurd, he treats me very well and never forces me to do anything."

"From the day a woman marries, she endures endless suffering and endless hardships. Even the best families cannot allow their daughter-in-law to do whatever she wants."

"I've only been married to the Duke's Mansion for a short time, so I don't dare to say too much, but my parents-in-law and my two brothers are all very kind people. Since I got married, they have never set any rules for me. They never restrict or limit me wherever I want to go."

"Although they didn't say a lot of things, I saw them all."

"If I tell you about it, my aunt might think it's a small matter and there's no need to bring it up specifically."

"But that's how people get along. You can always feel their warmth and tolerance from the smallest things. I can say that in all of Shengjing, there's probably no other family like them."

Liu didn't expect to hear such high praise for Qin Sheng and the Qin family from Chu Yian, which surprised her.

But from what she knew about Qin Sheng, he was actually a good person. If he wasn't a little absurd, there would be countless girls lining up to marry him.

He must feel that he owes Chu Yian after marrying her, and making up for it is indeed something that the child can do.

The Duke and the Duchess are not mean people. They know what their son is like and will definitely feel that they have wronged her, so they will naturally treat her well.

Compared to those who are constantly subjected to rules and abuse as soon as they get married, the biggest advantage of marrying into the Duke of Qin's mansion is probably that everyone will feel that she has been wronged and will treat her well.

Although she had many thoughts in her mind, Liu Shi still followed Chu Yian's words and asked, "I wonder what it is? I'm surprised that you praised me so much and I still remember it in my heart."

Chu Yian smiled, and his eyes became much gentler.

"My father-in-law and my eldest brother have official duties to attend to every day. My mother is the elder, and my second brother is the eldest. In this respect, Qin Sheng and I are the youngest in the family."

"But every time we eat, they always wait for Qin Sheng and me to arrive before they start eating. No matter how busy they are, they will wait for us. Even if we are late, they never say anything."

"I know this is just a small thing, so small that many people won't even notice it, let alone talk about it."

"But auntie, how many major events can a person encounter in his lifetime?"

“Because most of the things we encounter in life are small things, we should pay more attention to the details in these insignificant things and get a glimpse of a person’s character.”

"Maybe my thinking is not mature enough, and my perspective on people and things is not comprehensive enough, but living with them does make me happy."

Chu Yian's words made Liu feel incredible

When a bride comes home, the first thing many mothers-in-law think of is to set rules for her.

She ordered her daughter-in-law to do all kinds of work, and made her stand aside to serve the dishes during meals. She could only eat after everyone had finished eating.

This seems to have become the norm, and even parents who love their daughters the most would not say anything after seeing it.

If you meet a better mother-in-law, she won't torture her daughter-in-law too much, but it is indeed impossible for her to let her daughter-in-law go wherever she wants and not be seen at home all day long.

Duke Qin's family is indeed a kind-hearted family. They not only care about their daughter-in-law Chu Yian, but also dote on her.

If I wasn't really happy, it would be difficult for me to get such high praise from Chu Yian and her sincere protection.

But Liu's brows still knitted slightly: "Well, if someone gossips in front of you..."

Chu Yian smiled, her face full of tenderness: "Auntie, I'm never afraid of them gossiping in front of me, and I don't feel embarrassed. I will just rush up and smash their faces."

"The reason people are afraid, scared, and embarrassed is because the slap in the face doesn't hurt enough."

"But I'm different. My slaps on their faces must have hurt."

Just like Gong Lu.

What a fool! A concubine who is not worthy of being in public dared to scold Qin Sheng in front of her. Sheng Hongyu was really giving her too much face.

But she wouldn't, and would still beat her up in front of Sheng Hongyu.

Qin Sheng can cover her up, but if he can't, doesn't he still have a group of good brothers?

If you can't even handle so many people, what's the point of having them?

Liu was visibly choked, and was obviously thinking of Gong Lu. She couldn't help but cover her lips and chuckle.

She really asked an unnecessary question. Chu Yian had clearly told her what she would do through her actions, and she was just being too picky.

I don’t know why, but after hearing Chu Yian’s words, Liu felt a lot more relaxed.

The dark clouds that had been pressing down on her head in the past few years seemed to be dispersing little by little, and the warm sunlight pouring down from above made her feel a long-lost sense of relief.

She couldn't help but relax a little while sitting, and said with a bit of melancholy in her tone: "I wish I could be like you."

Chu Yian smiled, his eyes curved: "Aunt, the reason why people are weak is because we have weaknesses, but the reason why people are strong is also because of their weaknesses."

“I want to protect Qin Sheng and the Qin family, so I can give birth to unlimited courage.”

"You care about your family and your children, so you can't abandon them and gain true freedom. This is also your weakness."

Liu lowered her eyes, as if thinking about something.

Sheng Nianyao hugged Chu Yian's arm and was a little unhappy: "Sister Chu has only been married for a few days, and she is already protecting Qin Sheng like this."

She has known Sister Chu for quite some time, but she has never seen Sister Chu protect her like this.

I can't be happy.

Chu Yian looked at Sheng Nianyao's pretty little face and suddenly remembered the jade pendant. He gritted his teeth and glared at her, saying with his eyes that he would settle the score with her later.

Sheng Nianyao didn't understand what was going on, so she touched her nose and obediently let go of her hand.

Seeing that Liu was a little absent-minded, obviously thinking about something, Chu Yian did not disturb her. After saying something, he pulled Sheng Nian Yao out of the room.

Sheng Nianyao blinked her beautiful eyes and asked her, "Sister Chu, why did you look at me like that just now?"

Chu Yian reached out and took out the jade pendant from his collar.

Sheng Nianyao opened her mouth, her eyes looked a little weak, and she lowered her head.

Sister Chu... do you know?

Chu Yian took off the jade pendant: "This jade pendant is not an ordinary item after all, you should take it back. If you like my jade pendant, I will give it to you, but this one... I really can't accept it."

Sheng Nianyao lowered her head and acted like a quail, not saying a word and not taking the jade pendant.

Chu Yian wanted to put it in her hand, but she immediately took several steps back, raised her head and looked at Chu Yian aggrievedly: "Didn't we agree that sisters would give each other jade pendants? Sister Chu doesn't keep her word."

Chu Yian: ...
