After this set of actions, the two men knelt for a while longer.
Xu Ying was in so much pain that tears came to her eyes. Even though she had known that the Pei Mansion was dangerous, the grievances she had suffered from yesterday till now still made her a little overwhelmed.
"Ouch." Tu Qingyu looked at her tears in surprise and said, "What happened? I've already said that if I don't want to, I can choose not to drink this cup of tea."
Pei Kangsheng was a little anxious, "What are you doing? Even if you are happy, you can't cry in such an occasion."
"Don't worry, you're married now, and from now on you'll be a member of my Pei family." He turned sideways and gently wiped the tears from her.
The knee hurts more on this side.
These words were useful, and Xu Ying immediately understood what he meant.
She has already married in, and the whole capital is paying attention to this marriage. She has no way out.
There are still many days to come. If you can't bear it now, then don't live anymore.
She reached out and wiped the tears from her face. "I, I'm so happy."
"Qingyu... no, mother." She changed her mind quickly, calling her mother more naturally than Pei Kangsheng. "I've always wanted to be with you and have fun together. Now it's finally come true."
After saying that, she turned sideways to serve the tea, but the nanny said, "It's been delayed for a long time, the tea is a little cold, pour it over."
"yes."
"Yes." Tu Qingyu took over Xu Ying's words, "Although we were good friends before, things are different now. I am your mother-in-law now, and you can't act as unruly as before.
Otherwise, this family law will not tolerate you."
"Do you understand?"
At this time, new tea came.
Both of their teacups were steaming, overflowing with tea.
I want to take it away, but I don’t know where to start.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Tu Qingyu looking at them with a bright smile. "What's wrong? Is it so difficult to offer a cup of tea?"
After saying that, she looked at Pei Jian, "Ah Jian, look at them~"
"Hmph." She snorted softly, "I knew it. They just think I'm too young to be their mother."
The two looked at Pei Jian and saw that his face had turned dark.
He glanced at them indifferently, and the chill in his eyes was self-evident.
He turned his head to coax Tu Qingyu, "No, respecting one's parents is the most basic thing for a person. If you can't even do this, then you are not worthy of being a member of the Pei family."
With just a glance and a few words, the two people kneeling below immediately picked up their teacups.
Because Xu Ying had knee pain, she staggered when holding the cup, and the tea in the cup spilled onto the back of her hand.
"ah--!"
She screamed, and the teacup fell to the ground with her scream.
“Bang!”
There was a crisp sound, and everyone cast condemning glances at him.
Those gazes were like slaps in the face, burning her with pain.
Her hands, legs and knees hurt, and she felt she couldn't stay here any longer.
But when she turned around, she saw her newlywed husband also looking at her with a dark face and a condemning expression.
"Oh, it fell." Tu Qingyu clapped his hands, "Madame Rui, pour her another cup then."
"It seems to be difficult for her to lift it, so I'll give her the cup first and then pour the tea."
"yes."
Xu Ying took an empty cup, and Aunt Rui took the kettle and started pouring water into the cup.
The water was steaming and looked like it had just boiled.
Even after the cup was full, Aunt Rui still didn't stop.
The boiling water spread from the fingertips to the back of the hand and wrist.
Xu Ying's face was pale, tears were flowing, her teeth were gritted, and she was shaky, but she didn't dare to faint.
Only when her fingers, palms and wrists turned red did Aunt Rui stop what she was doing.
Xu Ying seemed relieved. She shook her arms and raised the tea in front of Tu Qingyu.
"Please have some tea, mother-in-law."
Tu Qingyu stretched out his hand, touched it a little, and then let go, "Oh, it's so hot, how can I drink it!"
"I'm just saying..."
Before she could finish her words, Pei Jian grabbed her hand and asked, "Are you burned?"
"It's a little red. Does it hurt?" he asked while stroking her fingertips.
"Ajian, blow on it, it will stop hurting."
Pei Jian blew on Tu Qingyu's fingertips while Xu Ying looked horrified.
After that, he also warned, "Don't be so reckless in the future."
He had been sitting next to her without saying a word, thinking that she was fun and that if she was happy, it would be fine for her to make some noise.
I never thought that she would actually reach out to take it.
Fortunately, it didn't last long. If I really got burned...
When Madam Rui saw that the two masters had finished their conversation, she sighed softly, "Grandma, this is already the second cup of tea. Bring another one. If that's not enough, then this is a toast..."
"Sure, please prepare another cup, Madam Rui." Pei Kangsheng spoke before Xu Ying.
"yes."
After Aunt Rui led the others down, Pei Kangsheng carefully warned, "Ying'er, be more careful next time. This tea must be served."
In a place where no one else could see, he warned Xu Ying with his eyes.
Xu Ying's heart ached again, and she even felt that her legs and hands were getting more and more painful.
Xu Ying's third cup of tea was normal tea, but Pei Kangsheng's was not.
He endured the pain and held it in front of Tu Qingyu.
Tu Qingyu did not take the cup of tea. She picked up the one in Xu Ying's hand, took a sip, and ignored the one in Pei Kangsheng's hand.
Pei Kangsheng had no choice but to say again, "Mother, please have some tea."
Xu Ying just breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Tu Qingyu drank her tea, but she became worried again when Tu Qingyu didn't drink Pei Kangsheng's tea.
Pei Jian and Tu Qingyu didn't say anything, and Pei Kangsheng just kept holding it like that.
It wasn't until the water level dropped a little that she reached out, first gently poured out some, then raised it up and took a sip.
After finishing, I still have to say, "It's a bit cold."
This was simply unreasonable, and the two people kneeling were gritting their teeth.
At the same time, their hearts sank, thinking that it would not work this time and they would have to order another cup.
Xu Ying felt that she really couldn't kneel any longer. Her knees and calves were in excruciating pain. She almost felt dizzy, but she didn't dare to faint.
After all, this tea will have to be served sooner or later, if not today, then tomorrow.
If I faint today, all the hard work I have done today will be wasted.
Fortunately, Tu Qingyu propped up his head and said the next moment: "Forget it, I see that you are tired, so you can drink the tea."
At this point, he looked at Xu Ying again and started talking about the official rhetoric used to scold a daughter-in-law, "After you marry in, you will have to serve your parents-in-law, listen to their instructions morning and night, serve your husband, and have children.
As you can see, I, your mother-in-law, am not someone who is difficult to get along with. As long as you are obedient, I will treat you sincerely."
"Yes." Perhaps it was because of the gentle tone or because Xu Ying was in so much pain that her voice trembled. "Daughter-in-law... I'm grateful for your advice."
