In the end, Chen Yao was so exhausted that she could only force an explanation, "I'm sorry, it's really because my pregnancy is unstable. I've been very nervous about the baby in my belly these days. Please don't be offended, sister."
"It's okay." Chen Jun smiled indifferently, "My elder sister is pregnant, how could I possibly argue with you?"
But after she finished speaking, Chen Yao still held her belly and bowed with difficulty, "Greetings to Princess Changning, may the Princess be safe and sound."
She looked aggrieved, as if someone had bullied her.
Unfortunately, none of the ladies present here came from the backyard. This little trick was not good enough in their eyes.
Shen Jun quickly helped her up, still a little frightened, "Big sister, there's really no need."
Nothing unexpected happened at the banquet afterwards. However, after the banquet, Shen Yao asked to see Shen Liao, but Shen Liao refused.
But Chen Yao still stayed in the Shen family, in the same courtyard where she used to live.
After all, Shen Chen’s new wife would serve tea the next day, and as her sister from the same mother, she had to be present.
In the evening, Tu Qingyu was sitting in front of the dressing table and letting Gou Yue help her take off her headdress when Chen Liao came in, reeking of alcohol.
He looked at the beauty standing there under the dim light and smiled unconsciously.
Tu Qingyu turned to look at him, "So happy?"
Shen Liao: "I am always happy whenever I see my wife."
Tu Qingyu: "You're such a chatterbox."
Shen Liao came over and Gou Yue automatically made room for him. He took over Gou Yue's work and gently took off the pearl hairpin on her head bit by bit.
Tu Qingyu pressed his scalp and sighed, "Beauty has a price. These hairpins and rings are beautiful, but they hurt my scalp."
"Then you won't wear it next time?" He reached out to massage her head, and said indulgently, "Even if Madam doesn't wear it, she's still the most beautiful among all the other ladies."
"That won't do. If we don't wear it, people will think we look down on them."
After saying that, she turned around and pressed his hand, "Okay, I'm going to wash up. My Lord, please wash up early too. You've been busy all day and you have to get up early tomorrow."
Just as she was about to leave, Shen Liao suddenly leaned over and picked her up sideways.
"Madam, would you like to take a shower together?"
Tu Qingyu blushed immediately, "No, put me down."
[Again, why again? Aren't you tired from this day?]
"After all these years, Madam is still so shy." Shen Liao held her and walked to the bathroom next door without any pressure. "You have been busy these days, Madam, don't you miss it?"
"……In no mood."
Actually, I still think about it, for many days.
She said she didn't want to, but drunk Shen Liao was more domineering than usual.
The two hit it off immediately.
Tonight, the candlelight in the main courtyard burned even longer than the dragon and phoenix wedding candles in the bridal chamber.
The next morning, when Chen Liao got up, Tu Qingyu was still sleeping.
He got up and washed up on his own, then skillfully woke up Tu Qingyu, put clothes on her, and almost helped her wash up.
Dabao: "Master, how can you tell me? What's the difference between his current state and the prince in his previous life?"
Tu Qingyu: "Men still need to be taught more."
By the time they were both done, Shen Chen and the other kids were already waiting outside.
As soon as the two walked out, everyone bowed and said, "Greetings, Daddy and Mom. Good morning, Daddy and Mom."
"Meet my father's wife."
A few voices revealed the closeness and distance.
Shen Liao sat down and glanced at Zhang Mian who was standing below with Shen Yao.
The good mood I had early in the morning was gone in an instant.
He said calmly, "Sit down."
This made the new bride Lan Yuerong a little panicked. She was wondering if her father-in-law had any opinion about her.
Fortunately, Shen Liao also realized that his attitude was inappropriate, and immediately adjusted himself, saying with a slightly more pleasant expression: "You guys can start."
The two knelt on the ground, and Lan Yuerong held the tea and said, "Please have some tea, father."
After Shen Liao finished his tea and gave the greeting gift, she picked up the tea again and said, "Madam, please...have some tea."
In fact, she wanted to call her mother. A woman in the backyard could not be loved as much by her husband as by her mother-in-law.
The attitude of the mother-in-law is very important. If you are liked by the mother-in-law in power, why would you worry about not having a good life in the backyard?
But this mother-in-law is not her biological mother, and her husband has always had a grudge against his stepmother.
She could only pray that she wouldn't be too sad in the future.
Unexpectedly, Tu Qingyu did not make things difficult for her.
Even the gift given when meeting someone was the best.
"Get up, I don't have anything to tell you. Just live your life well from now on."
"Yes, Mrs. Xie."
After that, it was the meeting gift for the younger generation. Although she was a sister-in-law, when she saw Shen Jun, she hesitated for a moment, and still saluted the princess first, and then the family gift.
Chen Yao was envious.
Why isn't she the princess?
She simply didn't believe that the cowpox was caused by Shen Jun herself. In her heart, her father was biased towards Shen Jun.
In order to make Chen Jun live a better life, all the credit is attributed to Chen Jun.
She clenched the teacup tightly in her hand, and for a moment she almost couldn't control her emotions.
Zhang Mian, who was sitting next to her, noticed what she was doing and reached out to hold her clenched fist.
The Marquis is already very dissatisfied with the couple, and their relationship hasn't even improved yet, so he can't add new grievances.
After everyone had exchanged greetings and finished their meal, when everyone was about to leave, Zhang Mian suddenly stood up.
He bowed and said, "Father-in-law, I have a few questions about academic matters. May I ask you for your guidance?"
He kept a low profile and thought that with so many people here, Shen Liao would not deny him face.
Unfortunately, he overestimated his face.
Chen Liao didn't even raise his eyelids, just passed him by, took Tu Qingyu's hand and was about to leave.
"Father!" Chen Yao couldn't stand being ignored and wanted to call him.
Unfortunately, Shen Liao didn't even pay attention to her.
The two of them walked straight out of the dining room and went back to the bedroom to be together.
The couple went home to make peace for the first time, but was unsuccessful.
After returning several times, Shen Liao still did not see them.
In July, Lan Yuerong took the initiative to take a concubine for Chen Chen.
Shen Liao was puzzled, "No one urged her, why would she take a concubine for Brother Chen so soon?"
The two had only been married for a few months, so this behavior was really confusing.
“This… I don’t know either. As for the young man’s affairs, why don’t you ask Chen Chen?”
In fact, she knew that Chen Chen had a concubine when he was twelve or thirteen years old. Sometimes he would read until very late, and the maid would come in to light a lamp and press her like Teddy Bear.
Lan Yuerong is a lady from a wealthy family. At the beginning, he felt that she was different from other maids and was fresh.
But after a few months, he was already tired of it and wanted to find someone new.
So he hinted to Lan Yuerong with words. Lan Yuerong was also a soft-hearted person and could not stand Chen Chen's cold words at all, so she took the initiative to ask for a concubine for him.
At that time, Dabao was very angry and cursed, "Scumbag!"
