Yan Ningshuang's words sounded a bit sarcastic, as if Ren Yaoqi had deliberately chosen the day of her wedding to tell her about her pregnancy.
Ren Yaoqi was too lazy to argue with her, and since Li and Ren Yaohua were still there, Ren Yaoqi didn't want to say much to her. He just wanted to say a few words and send her away.
However, her being easy to talk to doesn't mean Ren Yaohua will be nice to her, especially since Yan Ningshuang's tone, which was clearly intended to make people feel uncomfortable, made her very unhappy.
"I heard that the Third Young Master's wife is the eldest daughter of the Yan family and the apple of Lord Yan's eye?" Ren Yaohua said leisurely.
Yan Ningshuang glanced at her, not knowing what she wanted to say, and did not respond for a moment.
Ren Yaohua smiled and said, "If that's the case, then your family education must be very strict, right? According to the rules in your capital, you don't have to offer tea in front of your brother and sister-in-law during the ceremony of recognizing relatives?" As he said this, Ren Yaohua looked at Yan Ningshuang meaningfully, as if mocking the Yan family's education.
Yan Ningshuang's face turned slightly cold upon hearing this. She knew that the kinship ceremony was to offer tea to Ren Yaohua and Xiao Jingxi, and then change her words to call them "Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law", but Yan Ningshuang really couldn't bring herself to say that. Although she thought about Xiao Jingxi all the time, at this moment, if Xiao Jingyue hadn't dragged her over, she actually didn't want to come to see Ren Yaoqi. Now, Ren Yaoqi was pregnant with the child of the man she loved, and she had become someone else's wife by mistake. If it weren't for...
Anyway, the smile on Ren Yaoqi's face made her feel very dazzling.
Yan Ningshuang glanced away, pretending not to hear Ren Yaohua's ridicule, but Xiao Jingyue smiled and said, "Mrs. Lei is right. Aren't we here to serve tea?" As he spoke, Xiao Jingyue glanced at Sang Zhen who was standing aside. "Could you please bring us two cups of tea, young lady?"
Sang Zhen glanced at Ren Yaoqi, Ren Yaoqi nodded, and Sang Zhen went downstairs to serve tea.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but look at Xiao Jingyue.
Xiao Jingyue was a good-looking man, but his eyes held a certain wickedness that made him hard to like. Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jingyue and Yan Ningshuang, a married couple, and for some reason, she always felt that there was something strange between them. However, if she was asked to describe what it was, she couldn't put her finger on it for a while.
Sang Zhen quickly brought the tea. Xiao Jingyue picked up a bowl and handed it to Yan Ningshuang. Yan Ningshuang frowned but finally took it. He smiled and took a bowl for himself.
Because they were of the same generation, they did not need to kneel when offering tea. Xiao Jingyue looked at Yan Ningshuang while saying to Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jingxi, "Brother and sister-in-law, please have some tea."
Yan Ningshuang bit her lip, and under Xiao Jingyue's smiling gaze, she still called out in a muffled voice, "Second brother and sister-in-law, have some tea." The sound was not much louder than a mosquito's buzzing.
After completing the ceremony, Xiao Jingyue did not stay any longer to cause trouble, and took Yan Ningshuang to say goodbye.
Ren Yaohua thought about it, then stood up and said he was leaving.
Li originally wanted to say something to Ren Yaoqi, but the situation today didn't make it convenient to stay and say anything, so she didn't think much about it when Ren Yaohua asked to leave.
Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jingxi personally stood up to escort Li and Ren Yaohua out of Zhaoning Palace.
When their figures disappeared from sight, Xiao Jingxi breathed a sigh of relief. He leaned over and smiled at Ren Yaoqi, "Your sister's personality should be more compatible with Jinglin, right?"
