During the days that Li Tingxue returned home, Jiang Mianmian came to Sakura Courtyard to see the children almost every day.
Only then did she believe what her husband said. Her mother-in-law really liked her daughter Le'an. She didn't expect that her mother-in-law really favored girls over boys. No wonder she didn't like her own son?
Therefore, in the past few days, her relationship with her mother-in-law has improved. Gradually, she found that every time her mother-in-law saw Le An, the smile on her face became more sincere.
But when she saw her husband, her expression turned unhappy and she didn't know why.
That day, Jiang Mianmian came to Sakura Courtyard to see the children as usual, and heard the servant report that Shen Xiuyan had returned from court.
However, he brought back a woman. When Jiang Mianmian heard the news, she was slightly stunned.
She just glanced at Li Tingxue lying on the bed, frowned slightly, and without asking who the woman Chen Xiuyan brought back was, she asked someone to leave.
Then, he just coaxed his obedient granddaughter while complaining in his heart.
[Sure enough, your scumbag dad, Shen Xiuyan, is not a good person. He just takes after his dead father!]
As soon as Shen Xiuyan arrived at the door of the room, he heard his mother's voice. The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. He shook his head helplessly and walked in quickly.
When he entered the house, the first thing he saw was his wife looking at him with a half-smile, while his mother was looking at him with a look of slight contempt.
Alarm bells rang in his heart, and he suddenly felt something was wrong. Oh, it seemed that these two people had misunderstood him!
Before Shen Xiuyan could even sit down, he hurriedly explained, "Mother, Tingxue, when I came back from court, I met cousin Liu, not any other woman. These slaves can't even pass on a message. I'm going to punish them severely later!"
Jiang Mianmian just said "Oh" calmly and didn't say anything else.
[Hmph! Men's mouths are deceiving. The cheap son that the dead man gave me before the wedding is indeed a cheap thing but no good thing!]
Cheap son Shen Xiuyan: "......"
Li Tingxue looked at Shen Xiuyan's anxious explanation and believed him: "Husband, I didn't say anything, why are you so excited? Could it be that you really have something to hide?"
"God's conscience?"
Shen Xiuyan immediately shook his head and denied it, expressing his innocence, until he saw the two people opposite him continued to entangle.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief. Why did he feel a murderous look in his wife's eyes just now?
He took another look at the gentle and lovely days and was stunned. Could it be that it was all his illusion just now?
Oh, this incident made him feel even more nervous than when he went to court!
Li Tingxue looked at Chen Xiuyan wiping his forehead and couldn't help but chuckle, then she told Lily to fetch water and set the table. After all, Chen Xiuyan had just come out of court and hadn't had time to have breakfast!
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a clear and pleasant voice coming from outside the house: "Cousin, what happy thing happened to you that makes you so happy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman in an orange silk butterfly-embroidered skirt walked into the room with a smile on her face.
When Li Tingxue saw the person coming, she immediately smiled and said, "Cousin, why are you here? Come in and sit down."
"Cousin, my aunt has been busy with family matters these days and can't come. So, I brought my aunt here to take good care of you, and also to help you look after my nephew so that you can have a good confinement!"
When Jiang Mianmian saw Li Tingxue's cousin, she was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at the top of her head.
[Haha! Shen Xiuyan, Shen Xiuyan. You still say you have nothing to do with her, but this woman clearly has the label of "cannon fodder who bravely wields a hoe to pry open her cousin's wall."]
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at this woman, she has so many names, I'm afraid her face won't fit them all.]
Shen Xiuyan: “…………”
Listening to his mother's sarcastic ridicule, he suddenly felt hesitant about whether to sit or stand.
Oh, by the way, didn’t mother just talk about the sister who was trying to steal my boyfriend? She was talking about this woman, right? And the person she wanted to steal was me?
Chen Xiuyan was suspicious and turned his head casually, his eyes sweeping over Liu Jiaying, just meeting her gaze.
I saw that there was a hint of shyness in her eyes, and there was a hint of affection in her eyes when she looked at me.
Damn, this woman is poisonous!
Shen Xiuyan was so frightened that he shuddered, so he quickly turned his head to look at his wife and wash his eyes.
I cursed in my heart: This woman is just as my mother said, she has feelings for me and even winked at me just now.
Haha, what a shameless woman, she even didn't let her own brother-in-law go.
Liu Jiaying nodded at Li Tingxue, then looked at Jiang Mianmian beside the bed, revealing some doubts and pretending to be ignorant.
"Mother, this is my aunt's cousin, Liu Jiaying!" Li Tingxue quickly explained. "Cousin, why don't you come over and greet me?"
Liu Jiaying showed surprise at the right time, but there was a hint of flattery in her eyes, and then she bowed respectfully to Jiang Mianmian.
"Jiaying meets the Madam."
Jiang Mianmian looked at the mistress in front of her who was swinging the hoe vigorously, and just said "hmm" indifferently.
Liu Jiaying seemed not to notice Jiang Mianmian's cold face, and continued to say with a smile:
"Oh my God! Madam, you...you are too young, aren't you? When I came in just now, I thought you were my cousin's younger sister.
Madam, what secret recipe do you use for your skin? Your skin is so good! Look, it’s much better than mine.”
Liu Jiaying noticed that Jiang Mianmian's expression had eased, and continued to praise: "Don't you know, if you go out like this with my cousin, people will think you are sisters?
I am really jealous and envious of my cousin right now. How could there be such a young and beautiful mother-in-law like you? With the lady here, my cousin and I look pale in comparison.
Oh, my cousin is so lucky to be your daughter-in-law, unlike me, who can only sit by and envy you silently! "
After she finished speaking, a hint of resentment appeared in her eyes at the right time, but it inadvertently passed over Shen Xiuyan who was sitting upright!
Li Tingxue was surprised to find her cousin so talkative. "Tsk tsk tsk!" Look at her little mouth, she's got her mother-in-law beaming with praise. It seems like she really needs a mouth like hers!
Jiang Mianmian was quite happy in her heart as she listened to Liu Jiaying's unremitting compliments.
Although she knew that what Liu Jiaying said was a bit exaggerated, but as a woman, who doesn't have vanity?
Liu Jiaying's compliments still made her mouth curl up slightly.
