Chapter 117: Madam Liu returns to teach her daughter!



The Liu family's main gate is wide open today. When the new son-in-law returns home, he must enter the house through the main gate. Moreover, the newlyweds must return together and cannot return alone. This indicates that the newlyweds are in love with each other.

Minister Liu and Madam Liu walked in a hurry. When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, Mu Sishu and Liu Ruyan had just got off the carriage. Seeing her parents coming to greet her and her husband, Liu Ruyan's eyes turned red.

"My son and son-in-law are back. Let's go into the house and have some rest. All the relatives have arrived." Minister Liu walked up to Liu Ruyan and Mu Sishu before his wife.

"Dad, Mom, Yan'er is back." Liu Ruyan and Mu Sishu first paid their respects to Minister Liu and Madam Liu.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, I have brought Yan'er back to see you."

"Good child, you're glad to be back. Let's go into the mansion first. The housekeeper will arrange the carriage for your son-in-law." Madam Liu knew from the looks of her daughter and son-in-law that the young couple had been living well these days, and she finally put her mind at ease.

"Mother-in-law, the last truckload is the seafood that Shu'er specially sent to add a dish to today's family dinner. She also brought the cook. Please ask someone to arrange it." Mu Sishu remembered his sister's kindness and quickly asked Madam Liu to arrange it so that he would not forget it when he was busy.

"Yes, mother. These seafoods were specially sent by Shu'er. Let's let everyone taste them at noon today." Liu Ruyan said as she walked towards the mansion while holding Madam Liu's hand.

"Ever since you prepared these seafoods for your wedding banquet, they have become in short supply. How could you let Shu'er send so many?" Mrs. Liu now knew how in short supply these seafoods were. She was very surprised when she heard that a truckload of them had been delivered.

"Shu'er said that you should have a taste too. The chef has been sent over, so mother will arrange it. This way, our Liu family will have face in front of relatives today, and father can be proud." Thinking of Minister Liu's smug look later, the mother and daughter smiled at the same time.

"Having such an outstanding son-in-law is already enough for him to show off. He will probably be even more proud today. You and your son-in-law go in and have a rest first. I'll make some arrangements and come right away." Madam Liu was worried about the seafood, so she asked Liu Ruyan to take Mu Sishu to the courtyard where Liu Ruyan lived before to have a rest while she made some arrangements. She must not let Murong Shu down.

Mu Sishu was no stranger to the Liu family. He had come here often before, but it still felt quite novel to come to his yard with Liu Ruyan this time.

The two of them had not rested here for long when Liu Ruyan's brothers came over. After exchanging some greetings, they took Mu Sishu away to the front hall. At the same time, Mrs. Liu also sent someone to look for Liu Ruyan.

"Mom, did you send someone to look for me?" Liu Ruyan shouted as she entered Madam Liu's yard.

"Girl, you're already married, why are you still so unstable?" Mrs. Liu couldn't help but remind her when she saw how lively her little daughter was.

Liu Ruyan sat directly on the chair next to Madam Liu and said coquettishly, "It's just me and mother here. Mother won't blame me."

"You!" Mrs. Liu was not really blaming Liu Ruyan. She thought her daughter was good no matter how she looked at her.

"How have you been living in the Mu Mansion these days?" Madam Liu hesitated for a moment before asking. She wanted to know if her daughter had encountered any unpleasant things.

Liu Ruyan thought about it seriously and replied, "Everything is fine. My brothers and sisters are harmonious and they respect me as their sister-in-law. My mother-in-law and second aunt are also very good to Yan'er. My mother-in-law did not let Shu'er pay respects early and set rules. My grandmother does not care about the affairs of the mansion. My husband treats me well. Mother, I don't think it's so scary to get married."

"When did mother ever say that getting married is scary? What mother said is that marrying the wrong person is scary. It is your blessing to be able to marry into the Mu family." Madam Liu believed in the Mu family, and she believed even more that her best friends would treat her daughter well.

"It's all thanks to mother. If she didn't have a good relationship with my mother-in-law, how could my husband and I grow up together as childhood sweethearts? Otherwise, where could I find such a good husband?" Liu Ruyan has liked Mu Sishu since she was young, so in her mind, Mu Sishu is her hero.

"Child, the Mu family is a good family. Your mother is relieved that you will marry into the Mu family. But you are the eldest daughter-in-law. You must be generous and decent. You must be filial to your grandmother and parents-in-law, take care of your brothers and sisters, and get along well with your son-in-law." Madam Liu couldn't help but remind her.

"Mom, I remember everything you said. My husband told me to do whatever I want in my parents' home and in the Mu Mansion. I don't need to get up early every day to pay my respects or set rules. I can just spend time with my elders when I have time. My husband also said that filial piety does not lie in how early you get up to pay your respects, but in your heart. You just need to be there when needed." Liu Ruyan's voice was getting lower and lower. These were different from what her mother had taught her before.

Madam Liu laughed out loud when she heard this. If those families in Beijing who required their daughters-in-law to get up early and set rules heard her son-in-law's remarks, they would be furious.

"Mom, why are you laughing? Is it because my husband is wrong?" Liu Ruyan was a little confused when she saw her mother laughing.

"Son-in-law is worried about you. You two are newly married now. After a while, when his leave is over, he will return to the Western Suburbs Camp. You will have more time. Then you can go to your mother-in-law's yard more often to accompany her and show your filial piety."

Mrs. Liu understood that newlyweds were still in the sweet period and it was normal for them to like to stick together, so let's wait and see.

"My husband and mother-in-law have told me to do what I like and to go out with my sister to broaden my horizons." Liu Ruyan recalled what Mu Sishu had said to her and discussed it with her mother.

"Did your son-in-law and mother-in-law really say that?" This time it was Madam Liu's turn to be surprised.

"Yes, my husband said that we can talk about the housekeeper thing after we have a child. Even if mother is too busy, there is Second Aunt to help. Just let me accompany him and play with my sister." Liu Ruyan was still a little shy when she thought of the child that Mu Sishu mentioned.

"My dear son-in-law, you have thought it through carefully. Just listen to him first. I have a prescription for conditioning your body. You can take it back and follow it to condition your body well. Try to give your son-in-law a child as soon as possible." Madam Liu knew that the two of them had wasted several years, and having a child was more important now.

"Mom, that's not necessary. Have you forgotten that Shu'er knows medicine? I will let Shu'er take care of me when the time comes." Liu Ruyan was reluctant to take her mother's prescription. She trusted Murong Shu more.

"Mother is confused. Come on, let's go to the front hall. I want to tell your elder brother to watch out for son-in-law and make sure he doesn't drink too much." Thinking of the banquet, Mrs. Liu took her daughter to the front hall.

Because of the special care of his mother-in-law, Mu Sishu did not drink much until the end of the banquet. After the return banquet, the two of them said goodbye to the Liu family and went back in a carriage.

On the way back, Liu Ruyan's eyes were red, and she was very reluctant to leave. Mu Sishu hugged her and said, "Madam, I will come back to accompany you whenever you want. Don't be sad."

"Thank you, husband, but doesn't it mean that a married woman can't go home often?"

"My wife is different. She can go back to her parents' home anytime."
