"It's New Year's Day, and you're talking about death? Ptui, tut, tut!" Old Madam Cui patted her third aunt's back in annoyance.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!" My third aunt laughed and said "Pfft!" She put her hands together and bowed to the left and right. "Don't blame the gods or ancestors."
Only then did Mrs. Cui let her go.
At noon, my aunt invited everyone to have lunch.
Since they were all close relatives, there was no separate table for men and women. Chen Nian and Xia Tian sat next to their third uncle and aunt.
Yang Yiyi sat opposite Shen Nian.
There was nothing special about the meal. Except for Mrs. Cui and Mr. Cui, no one else had their food served.
While Chen Nian was eating, she would pick up some food for Xia Tian from time to time. Her movements were smooth and flowing, and it was obvious that she had done it many times.
Xia Tian also ate very calmly and didn't feel flattered at all.
They didn't think anything of it, but the other people eating at the table were stunned.
But they were all elders, so they didn't say anything when they saw the warm scene of the young couple.
Yang Yiyi, who was sitting opposite, forgot to restrain her expression for a moment and stared straight at Shen Nian.
Shen Nian raised his head, glanced at him, and frowned slightly.
When he was eating just now, he felt that someone was always looking at him from time to time.
Seeing that it was his aunt's cousin sitting opposite him, he frowned and looked away.
Seeing Yang Yiyi's expression, Cui Bijun quickly kicked her under the table and whispered, "Eat quickly, why are you daydreaming?"
Yang Yiyi blushed and quickly lowered her head.
There are more fish and shrimps in the south. There was a plate of boiled shrimps on the table. Seeing that Xia Tian liked to eat it, Shen Nian put down her chopsticks and slowly peeled the shrimps for her.
Cui Bijun, who was sitting opposite, saw this scene and sighed inwardly. She turned her head to look at her daughter who kept looking across at her, feeling quite helpless.
The relationship between her nephew and his wife is so good that she doesn't know whether she should be happy or upset.
Although the aunt was sitting on the same side with Shen Nian and the others and didn’t see Shen Nian’s actions, she could see Yang Yiyi’s expression clearly.
After dinner, Shen Nian and Xia Tian said goodbye and left.
Cui Biyun was also preparing to go back with her family.
Her aunt pulled her aside. She felt that she had to get to the bottom of this matter, so as to avoid any unpleasantness in the future, which would be difficult to resolve.
"Biyun, what's wrong with your Yiyi? I saw her always staying close to Chen Nian today." The aunt asked directly without beating around the bush.
Cui Biyun didn't expect that her sister-in-law actually saw it, and she wanted to just fool her.
But looking at her sister-in-law's serious expression, she couldn't deny it.
She could only stammer, "Sister-in-law, you know Yiyi is still young, and this is a difficult matter for me as a mother."
By saying this, Cui Biyun implicitly acknowledged her aunt's guess.
"You knew about this? Then why did you still indulge Yiyi?" The aunt said in a serious tone, "Yiyi is still young and naive, how can you be so ignorant when you are such a grown-up?
Shen Nian is already married, and judging from his attitude towards Xia Xia, you can tell that they have a good relationship.
"Has it ever occurred to you that if Yiyi gets involved, it might backfire and you might even end up losing your relationship."
"It's not that bad, sister-in-law." Cui Biyun was a little uncertain. "Yiyi is his cousin. Even if it doesn't work out, it wouldn't mean that we wouldn't even be relatives, right?"
“Although I don’t know what kind of personality Shen Nian has, but judging from their experience in the capital, if you show even a little bit of this kind of thoughts, I’m sure he won’t even recognize you as his aunt in the future.”
Cui Biyun felt guilty after hearing what her aunt said. "Sister-in-law, what do you say? Yiyi has such thoughts now. This child has been spoiled by me since she was a child. She won't listen to me even if I tell her."
"How can we let her do whatever she wants? If Chen Nian hadn't gotten married, it would be fine, but she's already married, what should she do? Marry her and become his concubine?"
My aunt's words were not polite at all.
This little girl is still young and naive, and her sister-in-law is already in her thirties. Can't she think of this?
It was simply because he saw that Shen Nian was now the governor and his wife was not from a high-class family, so he had other ideas.
Cui Biyun's face turned red with embarrassment when her aunt said that.
She didn't expect that her little thoughts were seen by her sister-in-law, and she felt extremely ashamed.
"I understand, sister-in-law. I will discipline her when I get home."
Seeing that the sister-in-law had listened, the aunt's expression softened a little. "This is all for your own good and Yiyi's good. You must take it to heart."
"I understand, sister-in-law."
Cui Biyun knew what her sister-in-law said was the truth, and now she also felt that her idea was indeed a bit immoral, so she sincerely thanked her sister-in-law.
"Thank you for the reminder, sister-in-law. I'll go back first."
"Well, remember what I said."
"knew."
My aunt watched the carriage drive away before turning around and going back inside.
"Sister-in-law, what did you say to my younger sister just now?" asked my third aunt curiously.
The aunt glanced at her sideways, with a half-smile, "I don't believe you don't know what I'm saying!"
Third aunt looked at her and smiled, "Sister-in-law, you just love to worry. You'll know once you let Biyun run into a wall."
It turned out that the third aunt also saw what her sister-in-law was thinking, but she just didn't think of saying it.
As the youngest girl in the family, her sister-in-law has been spoiled since childhood.
After I got married, my husband doted on me. I had never suffered any setbacks and I had everything I wanted. So sometimes I considered things without considering others.
She thought that only by hitting a wall could she grow up and mature.
"It will be too late when she hits a wall." The eldest aunt slapped her hand in annoyance, "Just watch the show. When Shen Nian even starts to blame us uncles, you will know how to regret it."
"Don't we have our sister-in-law?" The third aunt took the opportunity to take the arm of the eldest aunt and said with a smile.
"I'm really worried about you guys." My aunt complained.
My third aunt was laughing as she walked.
Fortunately, the family has a smart sister-in-law to support them, which saves them a lot of worries.
The most proud thing about the Cui family is that the sisters-in-law have harmonious relationships, which is also the envy of many wealthy families.
The harmony in this family is inseparable from their eldest sister-in-law.
So the sisters-in-law all respect this eldest sister-in-law very much!
On the other side, Shen Nian and Xia Tian returned to the Governor’s Mansion.
Xia Tian was muttering about New Year's greetings when Shen Nian suddenly spoke.
"Next time my aunt comes to our house, if I'm not at home, you don't have to call me over. You can just greet them."
Xia Tian was surprised, "What's wrong?"
“Nothing.” Shen Nian said calmly, “I’ve been busy with official duties recently. You are all women, so just greet me.”
"Okay, I understand."
Xia Tian didn't say anything. She had a very happy time at Cui's house today and didn't notice these details at all, so she didn't think too much about it.
I just thought Shen Nian was unwilling to entertain these relatives.
That's why we just let her entertain us.
