When the princess was pregnant, the old princess had arranged for the prince to have several beautiful women, each of them both beautiful and talented. The prince accepted them without hesitation and then gave them all to his subordinates. This made a group of old bachelors who were too busy fighting to marry so grateful that they swore to be loyal to the prince who was so considerate to his subordinates.
The prince was very satisfied. When the princess was pregnant with her second child, he took the initiative to ask the old princess for her. He also stated that he would not accept anyone other than a top-notch beauty. The old princess was so angry that she smashed a cup and did not go out for three days. When the princess was pregnant with Xiao Jinglin, the old princess rolled her eyes and did not even show a smile.
Ren Yaohua smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this, and turned to Li and said, "Mother, you are right. Our son-in-law is indeed a kind man who values friendship and is sensible."
Everyone: “…”
Although Mrs. Li blamed her eldest daughter for her reckless and careless words, Xiao Jingxi's answer still made her feel at ease. She had been suppressed by a concubine for more than ten years and was very unhappy to see her daughter encounter such a bad thing.
So then, the atmosphere of the conversation became much more relaxed, and Li became more and more satisfied with her son-in-law, calling him "my son" and "Jingxi" all the time, completely forgetting that she had originally disliked the second son Xiao's poor health.
As they were talking, the head maid Sang Zhen came in to report that the Third Young Master Xiao and his wife had arrived.
Ren Yaoqi frowned and looked at Xiao Jingxi, hesitating whether to let someone in now. She was mainly worried that the atmosphere would be awkward if the Li family and the Yan family met.
Finally, Li said, "Since they are here, there is no point in avoiding them. Let them in."
Ren Yaoqi thought that what Li said was right, otherwise it would seem that Li and the others were too concerned about the Yan family.
So Xiao Jingyue and Yan Ningshuang were brought in quickly.
Xiao Jingyue still looked nonchalant. Yan Ningshuang had a hint of sadness between her brows, and the first thing she saw when she came in was her eyes drifting towards Xiao Jingxi.
Unexpectedly, this resentful look was seen by Ren Yaohua. Ren Yaohua immediately frowned and looked at Yan Ningshuang from head to toe with slightly narrowed eyes.
After exchanging greetings, Xiao Jingyue said with a grin, "Since my second sister-in-law wasn't at the family recognition ceremony today, Ningshuang was very upset, so we came here on our own to complete the formalities. I heard that my second sister-in-law is pregnant, so I'm here to congratulate you, brother and sister-in-law." As he said this, he turned around and looked at his newlywed wife tenderly, "Ningshuang? Why don't you congratulate us, brother and sister-in-law?"
Yan Ningshuang's face turned slightly pale when she heard this. She bit her lip lightly and glanced at Ren Yaoqi's abdomen.
Ren Yaoqi smiled and said, "I am sorry for being rude today. Please don't blame me, Third Sister-in-law."
Yan Ningshuang glanced at Ren Yaoqi and said stiffly, "Congratulations." Biting her lip, she said palely, "I heard it was discovered yesterday. What a coincidence."
