Chapter 62 Loading

The mother-in-law was kind, and although the father-in-law was serious, he was listening to them carefully.

The eldest brother is humble and the eldest sister-in-law is gentle.

It’s just that my second brother seems absent-minded, and my second sister-in-law doesn’t seem that happy either.

"Third sister, I heard that you were rewarded with the title of Commander of the City Defense Department for your meritorious service in rescuing His Royal Highness Prince Ding'an during the last hunting expedition. That's truly remarkable!"

There was some envy in the eyes of sister-in-law Jiang Ningxia. She grew up in a well-regulated aristocratic family system and never thought that a woman could be appointed as a military officer.

Lu Qiaoxiao smiled shyly: "It was just a coincidence that I was saved, and His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince was also there. The situation was too urgent at the time. Compared to my brothers and sisters-in-law, Qiaoxiao still has a lot to learn."

Mr. Shen was very pleased to hear this, and a slight emotional fluctuation appeared on his face: "Mrs. Heng is sensible and humble, and can win face for the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Lu Qiaoxiao was so flattered that she felt at a loss as to what to do. She could only laugh and let Madam Qin pull her aside and chat with her.

"Aheng is a little dull, so you should take more care of him." Mrs. Qin knew very well that her little son was an outstanding person, but there was one thing that worried her as a mother.

That is, he is too calm.

He never seems to let out his emotions, dealing with everything from childhood to adulthood.

No matter whether it was a task assigned by the teacher in the school or a request from the elders in his family, he would take it on and complete it one by one.

No matter how difficult the problem is, he will never complain, but will find a way to complete it.

Mrs. Qin sometimes even thought that she would rather have a son who was not so perfect, but only hoped that he could be closer to them, her closest relatives.

If you feel tired or suffering, you can tell her as your mother.

Lu Qiaoxiao nodded in confusion. She was a little confused. Is Shen Yuheng very dull?

Last night, he even clasped his hands and asked her to repeat his name over and over again.

After she got on the bed, the Buddhist turned into an evil god and tormented her so much that she was about to go crazy.

"Mother-in-law, Qiao Xiao will remember it." Anyway, since she has been told it, she will accept it.

At this moment, the servant outside hurried over again, reporting breathlessly: "Master, Madam, the Third Young Master is here!"

Mr. Shen and Madam Qin looked at each other in surprise. When had their eldest son ever come here at this time?

Meng Qining said sarcastically, "Look, third brother is really caring. He usually doesn't come home after work. This is the first time my wife came to visit. She only stayed for half an hour and she came to pick her up."

The words were a bit harsh, Shen Qian suppressed his anger and said, "Second sister, be careful with your words."

Jiang Ningxia pulled Shen Qian's hand under the table and smiled gently, "I just remember that when my second brother first married Qi Ning, they were inseparable. It's just a newlywed period, so as brothers and sisters-in-law, we should be more considerate."

Madam Qin straightened her expression and said, "That's right. Ah Heng is usually very busy with official duties. Now that Qiao Xiao is here, Ah Heng can come and visit more often. He must be very happy."

Only then did Lu Qiaoxiao see clearly the subtle changes in the situation.

The second son of the Shen family, Shen Yaoxing, took advantage of his elder brothers' influence to get an idle job, but he was not satisfied with his lot and always wanted to inherit the family business.

The second son's wife, Meng Qining, is even more ambitious. She can't stand Mr. Shen and Mrs. Qin favoring their youngest son, and she always holds a grudge in her heart with nowhere to vent.

As she was thinking, she heard footsteps outside.

Shen Yuheng was wearing a pale blue official robe today. Besides looking solemn and serious, his cold face seemed even more noble.

"Aheng is here, come and sit down." Mrs. Qin was filled with relief when she saw her son.

Somehow, she felt that her son's face looked more approachable today. It was true that people would become softer when they were about to get married.

It would be best if she could have a big fat grandson as soon as possible!

Shen Yuheng naturally sat in the empty seat on the other side of Lu Qiaoxiao. He glanced at her lightly, his face flushed, and it seemed that he fit in quickly.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuheng curled his lips slightly and fiddled with the Buddhist beads on his wrist.

During their passionate lovemaking last night, Lu Qiaoxiao's body was shaking violently, but she still remembered putting a string of sandalwood beads on his wrist while catching her breath.

It is said to be used for safety.

Oh, you still care about him.

"Ah Heng is married now, and his complexion has improved a lot." The eldest brother Shen Qian teased with a smile, his tone a little flattering: "He is still blessed."

"Hmm." Shen Yuheng's face was cold and he only hummed softly.

Shen Qian caught a glimpse of Shen Yuheng's slightly red earlobe.

And the way he glanced at Lu Qiaoxiao from time to time, trying to pretend to be calm and indifferent -

In fact, all your worries are written on your face.

His younger brother is really pretentious.

Mr. Shen asked the servants in the mansion to bring lunch so that the whole family could have lunch together.

While eating, Mrs. Qin kept staring at Shen Yuheng and Lu Qiaoxiao. The more she looked, the more she felt that they were a perfect match.

She couldn't help but think, how cute would the baby born from such a talented man and beautiful woman be?

"Ah Heng, you are not a child anymore. You and Qiao Xiao should let me hold my grandson as soon as possible." Mrs. Qin smiled and put a piece of food into Lu Qiaoxiao's bowl.

Lu Qiaoxiao was nervous. What was going on? Shen Yuheng still had a lot of things to deal with at court, and she was about to take up her post at the City Defense Department.

What's more, she was still frightened when she thought about Shen Yuheng's death on the battlefield in her previous life.

Today, the court is in a state of panic and the factional struggles are fierce.

Shen Yuheng is not a man who indulges in sentimental love. He has more important things to do.

"What's wrong?" Shen Yuheng's voice softened unconsciously when he saw Lu Qiaoxiao turn his head to look at him.

Lu Qiaoxiao shook his head and said, "You should respond to what mother just said."

Shen Yuheng turned to Madam Qin and said seriously, "Mother, Xiaoxiao and I will seriously consider this. Thank you for your concern."

Mrs. Qin was a little dazed as she looked at her son who was speaking seriously.

He could actually say so many words at once. She had thought her son could only speak short sentences of five words or less.

It was her good daughter-in-law who was able to cure Ah Heng's bad habit of being silent and cold.

After dinner, Shen Yuheng stayed with Lu Qiaoxiao, talked with his father and mother for a while, and also chatted with his elder brother about the recent political situation. He did not leave until the sun was almost setting.

Shen Yuheng helped Lu Qiaoxiao onto the carriage. After they sat down, Lu Qiaoxiao suddenly turned around and asked him, "Heng, do you want a child?"

After hearing this, Shen Yuheng frowned suddenly.

The women in the palace would give birth to a child to raise in order to relieve the loneliness in the deep palace.

What if she didn't find herself boring?

She's just gotten married, and she wants to fill her life with a child?

"I don't want to." Shen Yuheng answered decisively.

Lu Qiaoxiao caught a glimpse of the coldness between his brows and dared not speak anymore.

How could she dare to go against him after he had tormented her so much last night?

Otherwise, you will be the only one who suffers.
