Ye Chen looked at Xiao Taijun and thought: "This grandmother is still so naughty and still so protective of her shortcomings."
Yes, she is the granddaughter-in-law and the wife of a duke. It would be better for her not to kneel down and kowtow to these people whom she has not seen for a year and will not receive any valuable gifts.
In fact, Lady Xiao’s gift was very valuable. The gifts from the elders below didn’t have to be the same or more valuable, but they couldn’t be too different either.
So the gifts originally prepared by the uncles and aunts were temporarily replaced.
The second aunt had originally only prepared a pearl hairpin, but her pearls were only slightly better than those bought on the street. However, she had to take off the most valuable jade bracelet on her body and put it on Chen Qiu's wrist.
After Shen Qiu recognized the people, Xiao Taijun sent everyone away and said to Shen Qiu: "Qiu'er, your grandfather has difficulty walking. I will take you to his bedside to serve him tea."
Shen Qiu smiled and said, "I'll follow my grandmother's instructions."
Ye Chen walked to the side of Xiao Taijun and Shen Qiu and said to Xiao Taijun: "Grandma, you have been holding my wife for a while, please give her back to me."
Xiao Taijun and Shen Qiu were stunned. Xiao Taijun then burst into laughter and said, "You little brat, do you think I can eat your wife? What if I take her for myself today?"
"I'm telling you, this is my granddaughter-in-law. I love her dearly. Please don't bully her, okay?"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "How could it be? Grandson promises not to bully Qiu'er in the future, grandma, don't worry."
Xiao Taijun snorted coldly, lifted Shen Qiu's hand and said: "You didn't bully her? Then what's the matter with the injury on her hand?"
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, then he knelt down and said to Madam Xiao: "Grandma, I was wrong. I did something stupid yesterday. Please hit me."
Without a word, Madam Xiao raised her hand to hit Ye Chen. Chen Qiu immediately grabbed Madam Xiao's hand and said, "Grandma, what are you doing?"
"The wound on my hand was caused by pinching myself. It has nothing to do with my husband."
Madam Xiao looked at Chen Qiu and said, "You bastard, if I didn't bully you, why would you pinch yourself?"
Chen Qiu's face instantly turned red all the way to his neck, and he murmured softly: "It's...I'm afraid of pain, so...I pinched myself."
Xiao Taijun seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She coughed dryly before putting down her hand. She quietly kicked Ye Chen and said, "Then... let's go see your grandfather."
Ye Chen's grandfather, Ye Xuan, was the old Duke of Fuguo. Originally, while he was still alive, his descendants could not inherit the title. However, after his son, daughter-in-law and daughter died in battle, he fell seriously ill.
Later, after discussing with Madam Xiao, they asked for grace to allow Ye Chen to inherit the title in advance. In fact, even for a founding father, such grace is not easy to ask for, but who can blame Ye Chen's mother for being the elder sister of the current emperor?
Ye Chen's mother, Chu Wan, is the elder sister of the current emperor. When their parents passed away one after another and the world was not yet completely stable, it was Chu Wan who stood in front of her brother and took on everything that he should have borne.
Later, he went to war with his son-in-law, Ye Chen's father, and died on the battlefield. Therefore, the current emperor Chu Jie treats his nephew very differently.
After Chen Qiu offered tea to the old Duke, the old Duke gave Chen Qiu a long sword, which had not yet been sharpened. It was a gift he had intended for Madam Xiao, but Madam Xiao thought it was too fancy and refused it.
There is a ruby on the hilt, and the entire scabbard is inlaid with many things, including dragons and phoenixes wrapped in gold wire.
Afterwards, the four generations of grandparents and grandchildren had breakfast together in the Duke of Fuguo's bedroom before Ye Chen took Chen Qiu away.
The old Duke looked at Ye Chen and Shen Qiu's backs and said, "They have a good relationship, and you and I are relieved."
Xiao Taijun said: "Your eyesight is still so bad, your grandson bullies your granddaughter-in-law."
"This bastard is still acting with me. He thought I couldn't see the wound on my granddaughter-in-law's neck. Do you really think that's..."
"That was caused by teeth gnashing. It pissed me off."
The old Duke smiled and said, "I don't think Chen'er is acting. Didn't you notice that when Chen'er looked at his grandson's wife, the light in his eyes couldn't be hidden."
"I think this guy is really interested in Xiao Qiu."
Xiao Taijun sighed and said, "I hope so!"
Ye Chen held Chen Qiu's hand all the way, and Chen Qiu tried to pull it out twice but failed.
Ye Chen took Shen Qiu to a place called Xi Garden. Ye Chen said to Shen Qiu: "This is the yard of my father and mother. Let's go kowtow to them and tell them that we are married, okay?"
Chen Qiu said: "They are my parents-in-law, so they should be worshipped!"
Then he said to the maids behind him: "You all wait outside."
After Ye Chen brought Shen Qiu in, an old maid came up to them and bowed to them and said, "Duke, please follow me, Madam."
Ye Chen said: "Thank you, Aunt Hua."
This Nanny Hua was Chu Wan's maid-in-waiting. She was loyal to her when Chu Wan was alive, and she continued to guard Xi Garden after Chu Wan left, so Ye Chen treated her with great courtesy.
Because his parents are still alive, Ye Chen's parents have not yet been enshrined in the ancestral hall.
After Ye Chen brought Chen Qiu to burn incense for Ye Chen's parents, Ye Chen took out a box from a cabinet, walked to Chen Qiu and said: "This was prepared by my mother before she died. She said that when I have a wife, I will give this to her."
After saying that, he opened the box, and inside was a white jade bracelet. But upon closer inspection, he saw a hint of red inside, wrapped around the bracelet.
Ye Chen smiled again and said: "My mother said that this is to be passed down to my daughter-in-law, and it must be passed down from generation to generation. So you will pass it down to our daughter-in-law in the future."
Chen Qiu looked at the bracelet and then at Ye Chen, and said: "This is not suitable for me to accept. You said you would not have children with me. If I take it, there will be no one to pass it on to!"
Ye Chen's face suddenly became full of black lines. Well, he had to bear the consequences of his own actions.
Then, without thinking twice, he grabbed Chen Qiu's left hand and put it on, and then took off the jade bracelet given to him by his aunt on his right hand.
Then he said, "You're wearing it now. If you take it off, I'll smash it. Since you don't plan to pass it on, I'll just smash it in front of my mother."
Chen Qiu couldn't help but smile bitterly at Ye Chen's actions. If he hit him, he was afraid that he couldn't bear it. If he didn't hit him, why was he so shameless?
It was obviously him. Yesterday he talked a lot about contraceptive soup and abortion soup, and now he says that he refused to pass it on. How can he be right?
Chen Qiu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then you smash it!" Then he pretended to take off the bracelet. But Ye Chen suddenly kissed Chen Qiu and hugged her tightly. If Chen Qiu was not a martial artist, his ribs would have been broken by him.
Chen Qiu couldn't break free, so he bit Ye Chen's lips with his teeth, but Chen Qiu tasted blood, and Ye Chen showed no intention of letting go.
Chen Qiu didn't bite anymore, didn't respond but also didn't hide anymore. Ye Chen felt that Chen Qiu no longer resisted, so he slowly left Chen Qiu's lips. Ye Chen's breathing was heavy, and he pressed his forehead against Chen Qiu's forehead and said: "Please, forget what happened yesterday as soon as possible."
Shen Qiu looked at Ye Chen and said, "I bit you, why didn't you hide?"
Ye Chen said in a hoarse voice: "Compared to the pain I caused you, your situation is really nothing. As long as you can calm down, anything is fine!"
"Just, you can't say you don't want me. If you say you want to leave me, you can do whatever you want with the rest!"
