Not long after, Su Qi brought someone over.
At that moment, Xuan was carrying quite a few things on his shoulders and in his hands. Upon seeing Su's father, he immediately knelt down on the ground with a 'plop'—so utterly devoted!
Su Qi's teeth ached from listening to it.
"Father, he is Shi Xuan, the man Xiao Xiao married." Although he didn't want to admit it, the man was already at their doorstep, so he couldn't ignore him.
"Greetings, Father-in-law!" Shi Xuan kowtowed to Su's father, performing the full kowtow ceremony.
Father Su's face darkened, and without saying a word, he turned and left.
Seeing that his father had left, Su Qi tried to pull Shi Xuan up, saying, "Get up quickly."
Shi Xuan gave a wry smile. "Wait a little longer."
He was supposed to accompany the bride on her third-day return visit. Instead, he let her come back alone, which was both impolite and a mistake on his part.
If a mistake is made, then it should be punished.
"Shi Xuan is here? Wasn't he accompanying the prince hunting? Why did he come here?" Mu Run was somewhat surprised to hear that Shi Xuan had arrived.
Upon hearing this, Su Qi's expression changed slightly. "You mean, he accompanied Prince Sheng on the hunting trip?"
Mu Run nodded. "Yes. He didn't know about the custom of the bride returning to her parents' home. A beggar who grew up on the streets, how would he know about so many rules in the world? Let him get up. He is truly an honest and kind man."
This was half true and half false. He was indeed a beggar, but certainly not an honest and kind person; he only appeared to be one. Especially his face—he was wearing a disguise mask.
Fu Yunchen liked to use this thing the most to cover his excessively handsome face, saving him a lot of trouble, so she was quite familiar with this kind of thing.
Su's father was in Su's mother's room when he talked to her about Shi Xuan, wanting to hear what Su's mother thought.
Su's mother was fine, because she had already asked Mu Run, and apart from his rather unpleasant background, this son-in-law was otherwise alright, and he was also thoughtful and caring.
"What's done is done. Besides, I don't think Xiaoxiao dislikes him, so let's just accept it."
"My dear wife, you didn't see what that boy looks like. He's really... sigh!" Father Su was very dissatisfied. His daughter was as beautiful as a fairy and deserved to be matched with a handsome young man. Even if he wasn't good-looking, a good family background would have been fine.
Right now, he has neither a good family background nor good looks, so it's hard to tell his relatives and friends about him in the future. It's really hard to say.
"What's the use of being good-looking? You can't put food on the table. I didn't fall for you because you're good-looking, talented, or rich. I chose you because you're a good person and can make a living. Nothing in this world is perfect. Let him come here, I want to see him." Although Su's mother was also unhappy that her precious daughter had married a beggar, life had to go on. It was too much of a burden for Shi Xuan and her daughter. Why put her through that?
Su Qi stood outside the door and knocked, "Father, Mother."
Mother Su replied, "Come in quickly."
Su Qi pushed open the door and entered the room. He first bowed, then said, "Mother should know by now."
Su's mother said, "Have him come over."
Su Qi looked at his father, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he said, "I'll go now."
Shi Xuan followed Su Qi into the inner courtyard with his belongings, his face full of tension.
Su Qi glanced back at him and couldn't help but find it amusing. "My parents don't eat people, so there's no need to be so afraid."
“Yes, brother-in-law,” Shi Xuan replied.
Su Qi: "..."
I couldn't laugh for a second.
