【Father-in-law Chapter 8】The bride serves tea

Her eyebrows are as long as a distant mountain, and her waist is as slender as a willow. She takes off her makeup and stands in the spring breeze, and her smile is worth a thousand gold coins.

Chu Jiao, dressed in a gorgeous dress, walked towards Shen Zhen, and this poem suddenly appeared in his mind. In his eyes, Chu Jiao's arrival seemed to brighten up the gloomy and dark lobby of Shen's house.

However, he was not in the mood to appreciate the beauty of the girl at the moment.

Because the one walking with her was the pale-faced Shen Zhongxing, his "son".

The two of them, one handsome and the other beautiful, were like a perfect couple.

When they walked to the center of the lobby, Chu Jiao looked around without moving her expression.

On the left sat Mr. and Mrs. Shen Zhichang from the first house. Shen Zhichang was fat and had big ears, and his eyes were cloudy. His wife, Mrs. Du, looked at her with a smile, but her high cheekbones and narrow red eyes made her look a little harsh. On the right sat Mr. and Mrs. Shen Zhimao from the second house. Shen Zhimao wore a Confucian robe and a long beard, and looked like a scholar. His wife, Mrs. Chen, lowered her head and her face could not be seen clearly.

The seat of honor was the majestic old lady, Mrs. Zhu, and Shen Zhen, who sat below her.

Shen Zhongxing had long been exempted from the kneeling ceremony because of his illness, and Chu Jiao lifted the hem of her skirt and slowly knelt on the prepared cushion.

The two took the tea handed over by the maid and respectfully raised the cup to offer it.

"Father, please have some tea."

Shen Zhongxing held up the cup, and Shen Zhen took a sip.

Chu Jiao followed suit and raised the cup to her head, slightly raised her eyes, and smiled sweetly at the man who had just "been frank" with her last night.

"...Father-in-law...please have some tea."

Shen Zhen's face was stiff, and he stretched out his hand but accidentally touched Chu Jiao's smooth fingers. He shrank back as if he was burned, but under the gaze of the people around him, he had to pretend to be calm and took the cup, and took a sip without appetite.

The girl in front of him had a burning gaze, and the fiery gaze seemed to pierce through him.

"Ahem," Shen Zhen put down the teacup, took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, and handed it to Chu Jiao, "I came back in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts. You accept this thing as a congratulations on your marriage."

Chu Jiao lowered her head and took it. When she touched the jade, she felt a cool breeze. The jade pendant looked dark black, and a lifelike giant phoenix with its wings spread was carved on the round jade disk.

"Ah, is this the black jade?" It was the eldest wife Du who recognized the origin of the jade pendant at a glance, "When my third brother got married, it was the black jade given by the current emperor of the virtuous king?!"

Shen Zhen said "hmm" and pretended to drink tea, but he paid attention to Chu Jiao's reaction from the corner of his eyes.

But Shen Zhongxing wanted to return it after hearing about the preciousness of the black jade. "Ahem, such a precious jade pendant, ahem, father should take it back..."

Before Shen Zhen could say anything, he saw Chu Jiaoqiao holding the jade pendant in her hand with a beautiful smile, and thanked him generously.

"Daughter-in-law...thank you, father-in-law."

The girl's amber eyes were brighter under the sunlight outside the hall. Looking at him, there was no resentment or shame in her eyes, only frankness and teasing, which made his current discomfort seem a little too reserved.

Good girl.

It seems that you already know who I am?

Shen Zhen felt more interesting at this moment.

Although he was very embarrassed and annoyed about his mistaking someone for someone else last night, he actually slept with his own daughter-in-law, which was worse than an animal. But the girl's performance both in bed and now surprised him and aroused his interest greatly.

Unfortunately.

She is his "daughter-in-law".

What happened last night should be regarded as a dream.

Shen Zhen told himself with some regret, and then watched Chu Jiao serve tea to the other elders.

"Grandma, please have some tea."

Chu Jiao lowered her head and served the tea to Zhu. Zhu did not make things difficult for her. She smiled and gave her a pair of mutton-fat white jade gilded bracelets. She patted her hand and asked her to take good care of Shen Zhongxing and have children for the Shen family as soon as possible.

Chu Jiao answered obediently, but glanced at Shen Zhen.

Branch out?

I'm afraid that with the male protagonist around, the Shen family will soon be broken up.

Shen Zhen misunderstood the girl's eyes, and a hint of joy flashed through his heart. Could it be that this girl is so bold that she wants him to sow the seeds of branching out? He hurriedly drank a sip of herbal tea to suppress the sudden heat.
