Chapter 113: Recognized Him
"My son-in-law has been ill for a long time and is late. I hope you will forgive me."
"I heard that you are seriously ill? Don't force yourself like this and hurt yourself again." Li Qingxue glanced at his faintly trembling legs and said in a neutral tone.
Seeing that he lowered his eyes and pretended to listen, Huo Jin spoke in a gentle and humble tone: "Thank you for your concern, mother-in-law. Thanks to Wei Yuan's careful consideration and care day and night, my son-in-law's body has recovered and is now mostly fine."
"I used to be in the army, and I used to make tea in my spare time to relieve fatigue. Although my skills are not as crude as Wei Yuan's, I still want to offer a cup to my mother-in-law."
Unlike his usual handsome appearance, Huo Jin's features were deep and serious at this moment, and he stood straight, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
Liang Weiyuan saw this and couldn't help but feel amazed.
Whether in her past life or this life, she had never seen a man be so upright and polite before.
It can be seen that he attaches great importance to his mother's arrival.
Thinking of this, Liang Weiyuan felt a warmth in her heart and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Li Qingxue had a good eye for people, and seeing his attitude, she nodded in a gentle manner.
There was no intention of making excuses for him just because he was unwell.
Huo Jin walked slowly to the tea table and picked up the tea whisk with his slender hands. His movements were a little unfamiliar, but he lowered his brows and looked extremely serious.
He concentrated on heating the cups, taking out the tea, and pouring water. He performed each movement carefully and held his breath, fearing that there would be any mistake.
Liang Weiyuan looked at him carefully and found that he was nervous or something, but there was a thin layer of sweat on his face and nose, and his jaw was tense.
For a moment she was both worried and smiling, and suddenly she saw Huo Jin's figure sway slightly.
She couldn't help but take half a step forward, but she stopped when she saw Li Qingxue's gaze, and her eyes said, "Stand still."
Liang Weiyuan could only blink helplessly at her mother.
When the first cup of tea was ready, Huo Jin walked up to Li Qingxue with the cup in both hands and bowed to hand it to her.
"Mother-in-law, please have some tea."
"This is this year's Mingqian Longjing tea. I heard from Weiyuan that my mother-in-law likes the refreshing taste of tea, so I dared to try it. If it doesn't suit your taste, I hope my mother-in-law will give it some advice."
"Hmm." Li Qingxue took the teacup, took a sip, and the fragrance of the tea spread in her mouth.
She looked up at the man in front of her. The closer she looked, the more outstanding he became. His aura was like a sharp sword with its edge restrained, and his attitude was just right.
But he couldn't hide the hint of nervousness in his dark eyes.
Li Qingxue narrowed her eyes slightly, and finally the corners of her mouth curved up: "Not bad, this tea... was brewed with some care."
Huo Jin saw that his tense back finally relaxed a little.
"As long as my mother-in-law and Yuan'er like it, it's fine."
As he spoke, he raised the other cup and handed it to Liang Weiyuan, looking at her with a gentle glance.
"Thank you, my husband." Liang Weiyuan felt something strange in her heart and took it with a clear cough.
He had been standing for so long that his legs must have been unable to bear it, which was really difficult for him.
Li Qingxue held the teacup and kept looking back and forth between the two of them.
Seeing the concern in her daughter's eyes, she shook her head and laughed before speaking, "Alright, sit down, everyone, or you'll think I did something to you two."
Then he said to Huo Jin: "We are all family. There is no need to be so stubborn in the future. It will make Wei Yuan sad."
These words were much softer than before, and they were an acknowledgment of him.
Huo Jin felt a surge of joy in his heart, and he actually felt more at ease than he had ever felt in any of the previous victories.
Liang Weiyuan gently tugged at her mother's sleeve and said, "Mom, my husband will soon recover. You don't need to worry about us."
"He is indeed in good spirits, not as seriously ill as the rumors say."
Li Qingxue nodded with satisfaction.
Although this boy was ill, he still maintained a respectful attitude, which showed that he was determined.
He also takes good care of his daughter.
"This boy is really sincere to you, and I feel relieved."
Li Qingxue sighed and took out several prepared property deeds from her sleeve and stuffed them into Liang Weiyuan's hands.
"My dear daughter, these are the silk shops in the west of the city, the rice shops in the east, and the farms on the outskirts of the city..."
"Mom, what are you doing?" Liang Weiyuan frowned and was about to refuse. Her dowry was already very generous. Moreover, she had never been filial to her family after getting married, so how could she accept things from her parents' home?
"Take it!" Li Qingxue scolded with a pretended stern face, but her eyes were full of love and tenderness.
"You are my daughter, Li Qingxue. Who else should I give this wealth to if not you? You are even being polite to me, your mother. What nonsense!"
Liang Weiyuan opened her lips slightly when she heard this, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Mother, you forgot that my eldest brother has not yet married. These—"
"That guy has arms and legs, but if he can't even earn enough to buy his own wife, then he's so useless, I don't think there's any need to marry him! Otherwise, he'll bring disaster to other people's good girls and make them suffer with him!"
