Fortunately, the arrival of a son-in-law is a great event, and the atmosphere is lively and exciting. In particular, in many places, there are customs to show the son-in-law his power. For example, the son-in-law is drunk, and the men in the family take turns to beat him up. It is even said that according to the old customs in some places, when the son-in-law comes to the house, the "brother's family" will beat him with sticks, and there have been cases where someone was killed.
Anyway, on the day when the son-in-law came to visit, no matter how the bride's family made trouble, the son-in-law couldn't get angry. The Ren family didn't dare to show any displeasure to the Second Young Master Xiao, but the servants in the mansion were still allowed to come out and join in the fun. This was their only chance to visit the son-in-law so unscrupulously without being scolded by the superiors.
As soon as Ren Yaoqi entered the main courtyard, Nanny Zhou, who had been waiting on the side, came to greet her and happily saluted Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jingxi: "Second Miss, Second Uncle, the master and the mistress are waiting for you in the main room."
As she said this, Nanny Zhou couldn't help but look towards Xiao Jingxi.
Nanny Zhou was also a little worried about the rumors that the second son of the Xiao family was in poor health, but now seeing that Ren Yaoqi looked very good and in good spirits, even with her sharp eyes, she could see that the couple in front of her got along very well and there was a sense of harmony between them.
Looking at the Second Young Master Xiao again, his appearance is needless to say, and his face does not look as if he is terminally ill.
On the day Xiao Jingxi arrived to pick up his bride, Nanny Zhou had observed him closely from a distance. She felt that the Second Young Master Xiao was somewhat different from the rumors. However, that day was special, and she wondered if the Xiao family had given him some kind of medicine or perhaps even carefully dressed him up for the wedding. So, today, with the opportunity to see him up close, Nanny Zhou observed him with extra care.
Second Young Master Xiao showed no displeasure at her gaze and even smiled at her. Nanny Zhou felt that there was nothing wrong with the Second Young Master's every move and calm demeanor. This made Nanny Zhou a little puzzled. Could it be that the rumors were unreliable?
Before Nanny Zhou could figure it out, Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jingxi had already walked into the main room.
Mr. Ren and Mrs. Li were already sitting at the top waiting for them.
Given Xiao Jingxi's status, any other family would definitely not dare to ask him to kneel down and kowtow. However, when the Second Young Master Xiao arrived in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he did not dare to put on the airs of a young master of the Yanbei Palace. He and Ren Yaoqi performed the ceremonial ceremony to Master Ren and Mrs. Li in a proper manner.
Master Ren and Madam Li were not ordinary people. Although they were somewhat surprised by Xiao Jingxi's generous gift, they readily accepted it. Xiao Jingxi's attitude immediately won the favor of the women, including Madam Li and Madam Zhou. A man who is modest, respectful of elders, and good-looking is naturally more likely to win the favor of women.
Only Master Ren's face remained calm. He glanced at his little daughter and frowned, "Why does Yaoyao look so listless?"
Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a moment. Xiao Jingxi turned his head and looked at Ren Yaoqi, but smiled without saying anything.
As soon as Ren Yaoqi met his gaze, her face flushed with thought, and she whispered, "No. Maybe it's because we were riding in a carriage..."
Nanny Zhou smiled and whispered something in Li's ear. Li glanced at Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jingxi. For the first time, she contradicted her husband in front of others. She smiled and tried to smooth things over: "How can you be in a bad mood? I think you are fine. You are radiant."
