Chapter 16 The Most Offensive Thing in the World
Because of Shen Tang's sincerity, although Qi Huaijing failed to try again as he wished, he was in a good mood for several days.
Three days after their wedding, the couple is going back to their parents’ home together.
In previous years, Qi Huaijing visited the Shen family often, but this time he was particularly attentive and prepared a lot of gifts personally, which made Mrs. Yue complain.
Qi Huaijing turned a deaf ear to it.
Before getting in the car, Chen Tang recognized that the person driving the car was Li Dong.
Lidong is in his twenties, tall and strong with an upright figure. Like Bailu, he also came from the Yue family in the capital and has followed Qi Huaijing since he was a child.
Shen Tang had met him a few years ago.
At that time, Xiao Li'er always pulled her sister to accompany her in jumping the tightrope in the yard. Occasionally, there were not enough people, and if Qi Huaijing, who came to study at the Shen family and left late, she would also pull him over to stand and act as a wooden stake.
Qi Huaijing was very pampered and refused to do this job. He waved his hand and asked Lidong to come.
He sat on a chair nearby, crossed his legs, and watched the two sisters jumping around, their light skirts fluttering in the warm late spring sun.
The beginning of winter can stand for a long time.
Qi Huaijing can also watch for a long time.
At this moment, Lidong saw the couple coming over, lowered his head and greeted them in a muffled voice.
"Third Master, Third Madam."
Chen Tang looked up at him with a smile, "Lidong, are you married?"
Qi Huaijing glanced at her and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
Chen Tang was confident.
"Be a matchmaker, Lidong is already so old! If you don't marry a wife, others will also want to marry a wife."
Li Dong lowered his head and replied, "Third Grandma, I'm already married."
Chen Tang said "Oh", feeling a little disappointed.
What a pity, he got married at such a young age.
He and Bai Lu are both from the capital, it would be great if they could become a couple.
"Then ask your wife to come home some other day and I'll talk to her."
Lidong is an honest man.
"My wife is very busy."
Qi Huaijing immediately gave him a glare.
Li Dong then slowly added, "She'll come when she's free."
Chen Tang quickly waved his hands, telling him not to take it personally.
"No, no, it's just gossip, it's not a serious matter. Let her be busy first, and we can talk when she's free."
Before getting on the car, she glared back on Lidong's behalf.
"You, you're so fierce!"
No matter how fierce he is, Qi Huaijing has no intention of changing.
But when he arrived at the Shen family, he became the gentle and amiable good husband again.
The Shen and Qi families became even closer, and the couple welcomed their daughter and nephew into the family. Naturally, they were very cordial and joyful.
Unexpectedly, Qi Huaijing was so polite and bowed.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, please accept my greetings."
Madam Qi was usually more affectionate to her nephew than to her daughter Shen Tang. When she heard this new name, she was stunned and then smiled.
"Jing'er has called me aunt and uncle for so many years. Suddenly I changed my name to someone else. I'm not used to it yet."
Father Shen stroked his beard, smiled and nodded.
"The sage once said that a gentleman must first correct his name. If the name is correct, the words will flow smoothly, and if the words flow smoothly, things will be accomplished. Huai Jing's words are in line with the way of a gentleman!"
Madam Qi didn't understand all this nonsense and sighed.
"What gentleman or not gentleman? I just listened and it seemed strange."
Qi Huaijing didn't feel strange.
"When a son-in-law arrives at his wife's house, he will naturally follow her lead."
The younger sister, Chen Li, was usually closest to her elder sister and also liked to play with her cousin, so she rushed over.
"Sister! Cousin!"
Qi Huaijing blocked her and took a step back.
"Little sister, call me brother-in-law."
Everyone smiled.
My younger brother Chen Di was originally going to school, but today my sister came back home, so he took a leave and stayed at home.
Qi Huaijing kept talking to Shen Di and didn't say much to his father-in-law.
While everyone was talking and laughing, Chen Tang occasionally looked at his mother's tablet, then immediately turned his head and continued talking to his sister with a smile.
In the distance, Qi Huaijing was chatting with his cousin, but suddenly he stopped and looked in her direction.
Seeing him looking at her, Shen Tang smiled quickly.
Even though he saw Chen Tang's smile, Qi Huaijing ended the conversation in just a few words, walked over and pretended to ask her to help him find something, and asked her in a low voice.
"What's wrong? You look unhappy?"
Chen Tang was stunned. This man had such sharp eyesight that he could still see through his unintentional little action. So he smiled and shook his head.
"nothing."
There were many people around, so Qi Huaijing didn't say anything else. He just patted her shoulders when no one was paying attention.
This time, Shen Tang smiled sincerely.
In the past few days, the two of them stayed together day and night, and whispered to each other. Chen Tang felt that he was thoughtful, smart and fluent. Except that he was a little rude to Madam Yue, there was really no big problem with him.
Such a gentle and meticulous person actually has the reputation of being a devil.
What a joke!
Just after mid-afternoon, Qi Huaijing gave her a look that showed he wanted to leave.
Chen Tang understood, and the couple stood up, said goodbye to everyone in the Shen family, and got on the carriage.
"Why are you leaving so early?"
"It's getting late, let's go to my aunt's house."
"Um?"
"My late mother-in-law passed away early, and her grave is far away in her hometown. My aunt is her biological sister. We are returning home today as newlyweds, so we can go visit my aunt and appease my late mother-in-law for her kindness."
Chen Tang's heart trembled when he heard this.
Today, no one mentions her mother.
The family is warm and friendly, talking and laughing.
She missed her mother very much, but couldn't tell anyone.
Even Dad didn't think of this, but he did.
Seeing that she was about to cry, Qi Huaijing gently put his arm around her shoulders.
"I asked someone to prepare a gift for my aunt's house yesterday. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would cry."
Chen Tang was touched and couldn't help but lean on his shoulder. The tears that were in his eyes just now fell down.
Qi Huaijing didn't want to let her cry, so he gently patted the person in his arms on the back, coaxed her for a long time, and teased her with a smile.
"Good Tang'er, please shed less sugar beads."
Chen Tang burst into laughter immediately.
This was a joke he often played when he was young.
When he was a child, if Chen Tang cried, he would say it was Tang Zhuer, and if Chen Li cried, he would jokingly say it was Li Guoer.
In previous years, she would only dare to snort at her playful cousin for such a joke, but today, she dared to twist her husband's arm.
Having done the most offensive things in the world, she naturally wouldn't be too polite.
Qi Huaijing pretended to be injured, then fell into her arms and played around, rubbing her ticklish spots, which really made her laugh all the way.
He had someone pass the message long ago, and when he arrived at Aunt Song's house, he was met from a distance.
When the aunt saw that her sister's daughter was marrying such a handsome and outstanding husband, and that it was a close marriage, not a blind marriage, the two of them were talking and laughing, and the aunt did not forget to come and see her when she returned home. She was very comforted and talked happily for a long time before letting the couple go.
When they returned to the Qi family, it was already dusk. As soon as the couple got out of the car, Bai Lu came over to tell them that Madam Yue asked Third Madam to go to Yujin Hall to talk.
