Chapter 1222: Something Not Appearing on the Table
"I know, but I can't help feeling a little uncomfortable."
Chu Qi's nose was sour, "I just don't understand why she always sees others as more important than me."
"Then do you think that Mr. Chu and Chu Ge think you are very important, as well as Song Jiuchi and us?"
Jiang Wan patted Chu Qi's shoulder gently to comfort her. What she said made sense, and Chu Qi adjusted his attitude.
The two returned to the banquet hall hand in hand.
Today is Mr. Chu’s birthday, and there is no special separation of seats for men and women. All families just sit together.
As soon as Jiang Wan sat down, Song Jiuyuan asked her with concern, "Wan Wan, where have you been?"
"I was bored, so I went to play in the lotus pond in the backyard for a while."
Jiang Wan's tactful explanation made Mrs. Song smile, "No wonder I haven't seen you two sisters."
Mrs. Song was afraid that Chu Qi would be sad, so she didn't tell her what Mrs. Chu had done or Hua Zhen whom she deliberately introduced.
When the banquet started, Chu Qi had no appetite. Although Song Jiuchi was not a very meticulous person, Chu Qi was his wife.
He naturally sensed something was wrong, "Qiqi, what's wrong?"
"No, maybe it's because of the hot weather. I don't have much appetite."
Chu Qi made up a random excuse, and Jiang Wan and Mrs. Chu, who knew the inside story, naturally didn't need to explain.
Mr. Chu was the elder, so Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan went together to toast him before sitting down.
Many people present were smart people and came over with wine glasses to toast.
"The princess is not good at drinking."
Song Jiuyuan directly blocked a lot of wine for Jiang Wan, and Jiang Wan was also happy and at ease.
She ate the dishes at the banquet slowly and leisurely, with a good appetite.
Just at this moment, Hua Zhen appeared from nowhere, holding a glass of wine with a red face.
"Your Majesty, brother-in-law, seeing is believing. I am relieved to see my sister so happy.
Brother-in-law, I toast to you!"
She stared at Song Jiuchi, making him feel confused.
As for Song Jiuyuan, she didn't dare to provoke him.
Song Jiuyuan pretended not to see her and lowered his head to serve food to Jiang Wan.
"Wanwan, this cold dish tastes pretty good and is quite refreshing. Would you like to try it?"
"Um."
Jiang Wan nodded slightly, and the couple acted as if they didn't see Hua Zhen.
Song Jiuchi inexplicably turned his head and looked at Chu Qi, "Madam, who is this?"
"My cousin from my uncle's family."
Chu Qi looked indifferent, and Song Jiuchi knew how to treat her, so he nodded slightly and said:
"It's my duty to treat my wife well. This cousin doesn't need to worry about these things."
The straightforward words made Hua Zhen look a little embarrassed, and she deliberately said:
"When my sister was in Kyoto, we had the best relationship. That's why I was so worried about her after she got married."
She raised her eyes and looked at Song Jiuchi carefully, hoping that Song Jiuchi would look at her more.
"oh."
Unexpectedly, Song Jiuchi just glanced at her lightly, then took a sip of the wine in the glass.
"Song Jiuchi, go and toast to grandfather."
Chu Qi gently tugged at Song Jiuchi's sleeve, and they both ran towards Old Chu.
Hua Zhen was left standing there awkwardly. She was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into. She ran away in a rather embarrassed manner.
Song Jiuyuan saw this scene clearly. He shook his head slightly, "It's not something that can be put on the table."
"Forget it, the couple should be able to handle it."
Jiang Wan wasn't too worried, after all, Song Jiuchi had experienced major family changes.
It would be strange if I couldn't see the other party's little trick.
She and Song Jiuyuan sat there eating calmly, ignoring everyone.
Mrs. Song lowered her voice and said to Jiang Wan, "I used to think that my mother-in-law was a little biased.
Now it seems that she is a little confused, but Qiqi is her own daughter."
She felt more and more distressed for Chu Qi.
Both of her daughters-in-law have unfortunate fates and are destined not to be her biological mother, so she has to treat them well.
"Mom, we have to trust my second brother and his wife."
Jiang Wan just smiled and saw from afar Hua Zhen trying to get close to Song Jiuchi.
This made Song Jiuchi very annoyed, and soon he took Chu Qi back to their seat at home.
"Don't be angry, I only listen to you."
Song Jiuchi comforted Chu Qi gently, and Chu Qi finally felt relieved.
But just as he sat down, a person who looked like a maid accidentally spilled some wine on Song Jiuchi while pouring it.
"Excuse me, sir, there is a dressing room in the backyard. I can show you the way."
"Is it okay?"
Chu Qi glared at the other person fiercely, "How do you do things?"
"Qiqi, be patient, I'll be back soon."
Song Jiuchi gave Chu Qi a reassuring look, then followed the maid and left the seat.
Chu Qi seemed a little anxious.
Jiang Wan was sharp enough to notice that Hua Zhen soon disappeared. She really couldn't control her temper.
"Sister-in-law."
Chu Qi and Jiang Wan were sitting next to each other, and there was some worry on her face.
"I'm worried about Jiuchi."
"You have to trust him. I gave him a lot of detoxification pills before. If someone really wants to do something, he can resolve it."
Jiang Wan calmly took a sip of the juice. Hmm, it wasn't as delicious as the one in her space.
Barely edible.
"Yes, sister-in-law gave us a lot of protective pills before."
Chu Qi then gradually relaxed and slowly ate the food in the bowl.
It’s just that some of the food doesn’t taste good.
"Sister-in-law, do you think my mother knows about this?"
Jiang Wan already knew about it anyway, so Chu Qi didn't mind discussing it with her.
When she separated from her mother just now, her mother's expression was clearly a little relaxed.
It is still unknown whether Huazhen did this on her own initiative or conspired with her mother.
"We'll find out after we see."
Jiang Wan took a quick look and felt that although Mrs. Chu was stupid, Chu Qi's words were so blunt and chilling, so she should restrain herself.
Hua Zhen, who just had some thoughts in mind, might not be easily convinced.
Sure enough, after a while, a strange maid came from the backyard and whispered something in Mrs. Chu's ear.
Mrs. Chu was anxious. She stood up and walked quickly to Chu Qi's side. "Qi Qi, the people in the backyard said that Jin Yu was not feeling well."
"What?!"
Chu Qi was so concerned that he was confused. He just stood up and looked at Mrs. Chu suspiciously the next second.
"Let's go check it out."
Mrs. Chu looked serious, as if she really thought Song Jinyu was feeling unwell. Mrs. Song hurriedly said:
"Xiaoyu was fine just now. I'll go over and take a look too."
"I'm a doctor. I might be able to help you if I go over there."
Jiang Wan naturally would not miss the opportunity to watch the show, so they walked to the back.
Huazhen probably didn't want everyone to know about it, so she just wanted their family to make the decision for her.
Even so, the departure of so many of them still attracted a lot of attention.
Someone asked curiously, "Look at how anxious the princess and the others are. Could something have happened in the backyard?"
"It's possible. Look how worried and distressed Mrs. Chu is. Let's go over and see if we can help."
