After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

Concubine Chen Hui was so amused by Xu Mengfei's words that she couldn't close her mouth. She smiled and said, "Look at this little girl's little mouth, she is so talkative, how can mother not like her. It happens that you are all here today, so no one is in a hurry to leave, just stay here for lunch. Nanny Shen, go to the Inspectorate and ask Deputy Envoy Chen to come to my place for lunch. Today everyone is here, let's have a meal together as a family."

When Xiao Qingying went to the palace to visit her mother, the mother would often ask her to invite Deputy Envoy Chen to have lunch with them and their husband. Nanny Shen was already familiar with this and agreed repeatedly.

Xiao Jingheng was very happy about this proposal. As long as he was with his mother, he would have the opportunity to get close to Xu Mengfei and take the opportunity to ask for her forgiveness.

Xu Mengfei is still angry. Although she is reluctant to maintain superficial harmony with Xiao Jingheng, seeing that Chen Huifei is so happy, she doesn't want to spoil her fun, so she doesn't say anything.

The Inspectorate was not far from the harem, and while the palace maids were serving the dishes, Chen Qijie arrived.

"My son, please give my regards to my mother and concubine."

Chen Qijie was originally the nephew of Concubine Chen Hui, and they had always had a close relationship. He was very happy to see him.

"Qijie is here, no need to be polite. Now that everyone is here, please take a seat."

Concubine Chen Hui naturally sat on the main seat in the middle. Xu Mengfei originally wanted to sit aside with Xiao Qingying so that she could be separated from Xiao Jingheng.

Who would have thought that the couple would sit side by side very naturally on the left side of Concubine Chen Hui, leaving only the seat on the right side of Concubine Chen Hui for the two of them.

Concubine Chen Hui didn't understand what was going on. She just thought that the couple was hesitating about who should sit next to her, so she directly called Xu Mengfei to sit next to her.

"Meng Fei, come and sit next to mother."

Seeing that there was no choice, Xu Mengfei did not hesitate any longer and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, concubine."

Xu Mengfei sat down next to Concubine Chen Hui, and on the other side was Xiao Jingheng sitting right next to her.

Xiao Jingheng was naturally happy, but Xu Mengfei felt a little uncomfortable and moved slightly towards Concubine Chen Hui almost unnoticeably.

At this moment, Concubine Chen Hui was looking at her children sitting side by side on both sides, smiling from ear to ear, and did not notice Xu Mengfei's little action at all.

Concubine Chen Hui smiled and said, "It has been a long time since the palace has been so lively. This is really a day worth celebrating."

Seeing her mother so happy today, Xiao Qingying was also happy.

"Mother, you don't have to celebrate today. As long as you like, we will often come to accompany you like this in the future. Sixth brother, sister-in-law, don't you agree?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingheng quickly responded: "Of course, as long as mother is happy, we can come to accompany you at any time."

Seeing that Xu Mengfei didn't respond, Xiao Jingheng poked her with his arm.

Xu Mengfei finally reacted and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, mother, what Fourth Sister said is right. We are not far away. If you miss us, just let us know at any time. We will be there whenever you call."

It was obvious that Concubine Chen Hui liked to hear these words, and she immediately smiled after hearing them.

"That's enough. I know you have a lot to do. I'm doing well in the palace. I'll go talk to the Empress and Concubine Zhang when I'm free. I'm very happy. You don't have to worry about me. I've been talking for so long. You must be hungry, right? I've asked someone to prepare all your favorite dishes. Don't be shy. Eat your chopsticks."

Everyone was talking and laughing during the meal. Chen Qijie picked up food for Xiao Qingying from time to time. The two of them looked very affectionate, which made Xu Mengfei very envious.

Thinking of her and Xiao Jingheng's situation again, the mother's mood suddenly became worse. Facing the table full of delicacies, she had no appetite.

Seeing Xu Mengfei looking at her sister and brother-in-law opposite with envy, Xiao Jingheng began to imitate his brother-in-law and pick up food for Xu Mengfei, but Xu Mengfei did not appreciate it.

Faced with Xiao Jingheng's action, Xu Mengfei was not moved at all, but became even angrier.

Xu Mengfei clearly remembered that Xiao Jingheng said yesterday that he had not figured out what kind of feelings he had for her, and kept asking her to give him some more time.

What made her angry yesterday was Xiao Jingheng's indecision. They clearly had feelings for each other, but Xiao Jingheng still couldn't face up to this feeling.

But now Xu Mengfei had another reason to be angry. Xiao Jingheng hadn't figured out his feelings for her yet and was still treating her well in an attempt to get her forgiveness.

If Jamel Xiao didn't like her at all, it would be a kind of harm to her and would make her fall deeper and deeper.

Moreover, Xiao Jingheng didn't understand why she was angry at all. He just wanted to be forgiven, which made Xu Mengfei feel that he had no sincerity at all.

Although Xu Mengfei didn't want to accept this favor, she did not reject his kindness in front of other people. She just said "thank you" in a slightly cold tone.

Xu Mengfei's reaction was indeed a bit abnormal, and the other three people present noticed that something was wrong with her.

However, they could all see that the couple didn't want to make them worry, so the three of them tacitly agreed not to expose it.

Xiao Qingying jokingly said, "Sister-in-law, it's only natural for Sixth Brother to pick up food for you. You don't need to be so polite. Those who are capable should do more work. If he is willing to do it, let him do more."

Xu Mengfei forced a smile upon hearing this, "Fourth sister is right, let him do more in the future."

The meal was relatively pleasant as the other three forced people to change the topic, and the two of them did not cause any more trouble.

After finishing the meal, the couple left.

Of course, this was Xu Mengfei's initiative.

Even though Xiao Jingheng was reluctant to leave, he had no reason to keep Xu Mengfei, so he had to leave with her.

After the two men left, Concubine Chen Hui told her daughter and son-in-law about her doubts. It turned out that all three of them could see that something was wrong.

"Mother, I have also noticed it. My sister-in-law pretended well at first, but the cold 'thank you' when Heng'er served her food was indeed unusual. Did they have a conflict?"

Chen Qijie agreed, "Mother, I think so too. Although I haven't seen my sister-in-law many times, she is obviously lively and cheerful. But today she was obviously a little taciturn. She only smiled reluctantly when mother and Ying'er talked to her. She really looked like she was in a bad mood."

Concubine Chen Hui thought for a moment and nodded.

"Now that I think about it, it is true. She was very happy when she talked to us at the beginning, and her expression changed after Heng'er came. Meng Fei is usually very enthusiastic towards Heng'er, but today she was always indifferent. They must have had a quarrel. You said they have only been married for more than two months, so they should have a good relationship. Why would they be unhappy?"
