Rebirth with my ex-husband

Chapter 120

Early in the morning, someone knocked on the door for a long time, urging me to get up and serve tea.

Su Yuyan was tired for half the night last night, and she didn't like getting up early, so she rubbed against the man's warm chest, hummed twice with a thick nasal tone, and murmured like a spoiled child: "Don't make noise, I'm sleepy."

Qi Junjin had woken up a long time ago, but did not wake up the woman in his arms.

He looked down at his wife in his arms, a faint smile welled up in his eyes. He patted his wife's back and coaxed her in a low voice: "Okay, stop making noise, and continue sleeping."

Then he let her go, got up, put on his top and coat, then walked to the door and opened it.

Seeing the door finally open, several maids breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that their girl had finally gotten up.

But they only saw the son-in-law who looked refreshed, but did not see the girl, and they were all stunned for a moment.

Qi Junjin said calmly, "I told mother yesterday that the tea service will be held before lunch today. My wife hasn't woken up yet, so let her sleep a little longer."

Several maids looked at each other, wondering if it was really okay for the son-in-law to indulge the young lady like this.

The older woman was also worried. Before leaving, the eldest lady had already told her that although the girl was marrying into the Qi family, she should not be allowed to do whatever she wanted and lose her manners, and this was even worse on the second day of the marriage.

But the current situation is not that the daughter has lost her manners, but that the son-in-law actively indulges her...

Since the son-in-law had said so, the servants didn't dare to call him again.

Su Yuyan didn't wake up until around 9:00 p.m. She was dazed when she first woke up, looking blankly at the strange bed ceiling, strange red curtains, and... a semi-strange man. After a long while, she realized that she had gotten married yesterday.

Looking at Qi Junjin who had his eyes closed beside her, she pulled the quilt to cover half of his face, and was too shy to look him in the eye.

But the next moment, he saw the light shining through the curtain, and then he suddenly realized——

The night before, her mother had reminded her not to be late for the tea ceremony, and she had promised that she would not be late.

But now, it's obviously too late!

Su Yuyan was startled and broke free from the man's arms, suddenly sat up, and then pushed the man next to her: "Don't sleep, it will be late for tea!"

The tone was very nervous.

She was disrespectful to her mother-in-law on the first day of her marriage and was late for serving tea. If this news reached the ears of the nobles in Jindu, she would surely be ridiculed by them one after another!

Qi Junjin was not asleep. He opened his eyes and saw the panic-stricken look on his newlywed wife's face.

He stretched out his long arms and pulled her back to the bed, into his arms.

Suddenly, she was surrounded by strong arms. Su Yuyan was a little annoyed. She struggled hard like a cat with its neck pinched: "Don't sleep! It's already dawn. It will be too late if we don't serve tea now!"

But the strong arms were wrapped around her, and it was futile for her to struggle. The gentle voice was a little deeper because she had just woken up: "But it's too late."

She stared anxiously: "You already know it's late, why don't you get up!?"

He obviously looks like a reliable person, how come he is even less reliable than her!

The man suddenly smiled deeply, and before she could get angry, he whispered, "I have already made an agreement with my mother to serve tea before lunch."

"Lunch and tea, that's all..." He was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, seemed to react, gave up struggling, and asked in a calm voice: "Have you talked to mother-in-law about it?"

He nodded and said "hmm".

"Then no one will say I have no rules?"

Qi Junjin suddenly smiled: "We agreed before we got married that you can live comfortably in the Qi family. Besides, mother and little sister are both kind-hearted, they won't mind."

Before marrying her, he had told his mother and younger sister about her personality. His mother and younger sister were not worried at all, but just asked him to treat the new bride well. His mother even told him that even if the new bride was a little unreasonable, he should be more patient.

Su Yuyan was half-believing and half-doubting his words, but she gave up and thought it was too late, and it wouldn't hurt to wait any longer.

After a while, she felt relieved, but she no longer felt sleepy.

"Why don't we get up?" she said.

"Lie down for a while, I'll tell you about the relationship in your family."

Su Yuyan was stunned for a moment: "Aren't there only mother and younger sister in your family, or... is your mother looking for a companion for her old age?"

Qi Junjin flicked her forehead lightly: "Don't talk nonsense."

Su Yuyan covered her forehead, glared at him, and said angrily: "Brother said that hitting the forehead will make you stupid!"

Qi Junjin smiled and said, "Then play less in the future."

"It's not that you should play less, it's that you are not allowed to play." She corrected sternly.

Looking at her ever-changing expression, he couldn't help but peck her on the forehead: "No flick, just kiss."

……

Su Yuyan: ...

This person is so dishonest!

She didn't want to pay attention to him, so she pushed him away, then stood up, stepped over him and got out of bed.

Qi Junjin was obviously in a very good mood and got out of bed with her.

After his smile faded, he continued the previous topic: "Besides my mother and my younger sister, there is also my eldest uncle and his family."

Su Yuyan recovered and looked up at him: "What's wrong with them? Are they not getting along well?"

Qi Junjin nodded.

Su Yuyan said nonchalantly, "That's all? I don't take it seriously. If they are difficult to get along with, I will just ignore them. If they dare to embarrass me, they should first consider whether they have the ability to do so."

As he spoke, he raised his chin slightly, showing no worry at all.

Qi Junjin sneered and said, "Yes, you are the daughter of a minister, you are of noble birth, why do you need to care about their faces?"

Su Yuyan raised her chest when she heard this, and said proudly: "I am born into a noble family, so there is no need for me to be nice to them."

*

Because she was not feeling well, Su Yuyan took a bath.

When she saw the marks on her body, she felt ashamed and annoyed. She said she could bite him, but she hadn't bitten him yet, and he had bitten her countless times. It was obvious that he was the dog!

Half an hour later, they finally finished washing up.

Because she is a newlywed, she is still wearing a red dress today. Even her hair accessories are a set of red gems, making her look gorgeous and bright.

After getting up late, although Qi Junjin told her not to take it too seriously, she was still unsure in her heart.

This was no longer the Su family that could selflessly tolerate her. To her, the Qi family was a completely unfamiliar and emotionally distant place.

She didn't feel safe at all. When she went out, Su Yuyan nervously grabbed Qi Junjin's clothes.

Qi Junjin looked down at the little hand that was pulling his clothes, with a smile in his eyes. She was a person who could not hide her inner thoughts, and her happiness and unhappiness, sadness and carefreeness would all show on her face.

He reached out and took her hand, holding the soft hand.

She asked in a low voice: "Is your mother really not a vicious person?"

Qi Junjin chuckled softly: "It's our mother."

Then he added: "Mother has a gentle temperament and won't be vicious."

Su Yuyan was skeptical, she breathed a sigh of relief, and left the room with him.

After leaving the room, she whispered in disdain: "Why is your yard so small?"

Qi Junjin was not annoyed, and just said: "I will give you a bigger yard in the future."

"I don't believe you. Wait until you change it for me." Looking at the yard, she was already thinking about taking out some money to exchange for a bigger house after some time. After all, she would be living there for a long time, so naturally she should change it according to her preferences.

When the couple arrived at Qi's mother's yard, they happened to meet a beautiful girl about fourteen or fifteen years old.

The girl's eyes and eyebrows were somewhat similar to Qi Junjin. Su Yuyan thought about it and guessed that she was Qi Junjin's younger sister.

The little girl seemed to be shy. She looked at her brother, then at her new sister-in-law, and then shyly called out, "Sister-in-law."

Her voice was soft, and after calling out, she lowered her head shyly, then quietly looked up at her new sister-in-law.

She whispered, "Sister-in-law is still so beautiful."

After saying that, he ran away quickly, leaving Su Yuyan bewildered. She turned to look at her newlywed husband and asked in a daze, "When did I meet your sister?"

Qi Junjin smiled gently and said, "Mother is waiting for us. Let's go into the hall first and talk about other things later."

Although Su Yuyan was spoiled, she thought that it was so late and she had made her mother-in-law wait, so she didn't care about what her sister-in-law said just now, and urged him: "Then go in quickly."

After entering the hall, everyone who was chatting stopped and looked towards the door.

In addition to the woman sitting at the top of the table, there was also a middle-aged couple sitting on the side. They should be Qi Junjin's uncle and aunt, and the other young people were cousins.

Su Yuyan looked at the woman sitting on the seat.

The woman was in her forties, with a kind face and looked like someone who was easy to get along with.

When the woman saw her daughter-in-law, her eyes lit up and the smile on her face became even brighter.

Su Yuyan was a little puzzled. Why did she feel that her mother-in-law seemed very surprised when she saw her for the first time?

Su Yuyan thought about it for a while and felt that it was because she was the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion and could help her son.

The young couple had just walked into the hall, and before they could speak, a discordant voice rang out: "Finally, we get to see our new bride. It's almost noon, right?"

Su Yuyan didn't like this tone.

She looked at the person who was talking. She was a woman in her forties or fifties, with a long face and a head full of gold ornaments. She was not afraid that the pearl hairpins would weigh down her neck.

The most important thing was the pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. This look reminded Su Yuyan of Su Wen who had always used her as a knife.

Thinking of Su Wen who had always taken advantage of him, the slight smile on his face gradually disappeared.

The atmosphere was a little stiff for a while.

But at this time, Qi's mother, who was sitting in the upper seat, suddenly said, "I have already said that Jin'er and Yuyan will come at noon, so sister-in-law, don't repeat the time again."

Her voice was gentle, and it seemed that her personality was just as her new husband had said, easy to get along with.

Su Yuyan looked at her mother-in-law and a smile appeared on her face again.

She could tell that her mother-in-law was speaking for her.

My aunt's expression changed, and she looked at Qi's mother meaningfully while holding the handkerchief.

The maid standing next to Qi's mother reminded her, "Madam, it's time to serve tea."

Then a maid brought in tea. Su Yuyan didn't take the woman seriously. She knelt down with her newlywed husband and said without hesitation, "Mother, have some tea."

The smile on Qi's mother's face suddenly deepened. She responded with a happy "Yeah", then drank the tea from her son and daughter-in-law, took a box from the side, opened the box, and took out a gold bracelet.

The carvings on the bracelet are very delicate and beautiful.

Mother Qi took her daughter-in-law's hand, put the gold bracelet on her wrist, and said softly: "We don't have any heirlooms in the Qi family, but the gold bracelet means a lot to us. If we didn't have the gold bracelet, our family would probably..." She paused and said: "Now is a happy day, so let's not say those unlucky words."

Guess what happened? Su Yuyan was a little curious, but since her mother-in-law didn't say anything, she couldn't continue to ask.

Mother Qi looked at her daughter-in-law and said with a little guilt: "It's a small gift, please don't despise it."

Su Yuyan had seen all kinds of good things, so she was not too surprised, but she had already regarded her mother-in-law as her own, so she touched the gold bracelet in her hand and said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law likes it very much, thank you mother."

After thanking her mother-in-law, she stood up and greeted the other relatives in the room.

Walking up to the middle-aged couple, Qi Junjin introduced them calmly: "These two are my uncle and aunt."

Su Yuyan thought of the woman's sarcasm just now, and the smile disappeared from her face.

She had always had a bad temper, and since this woman dared to be sarcastic to her, she didn't hold it in. She regained her smile and asked her husband beside her in confusion: "Wasn't it only your relatives who were there the next day? Why were my uncle and aunt also there?"

The couple's faces suddenly turned bad. The Qi family did not invite them over.

Now that the Qi family has become prosperous and they have married the Shangshu's daughter, they naturally want to curry favor with them, so they came over.

The middle-aged woman hurriedly said, "The new daughter-in-law doesn't know this. Our family is the benefactor of the Qi family. If we hadn't taken the Qi family in ten years ago, I guess Jun Jin wouldn't be an official today."

Su Yuyan glanced at Qi Junjin beside her and saw that he had a calm expression and no smile on his face. Thinking of what he said today, she vaguely guessed that her aunt's words were exaggerated.

It is true that they took him in, but maybe they would not be able to take him in for more than a few days, and even if they did, he would not have a good life.

Besides, it was the Qi family who owed the favor, not her, so why should she endure this woman's weirdness?

Thinking of this, she didn't call her uncle or aunt, but just asked the people around her: "When can we eat? I'm hungry."

Su Yuyan only called her uncle and aunt in her words just now, but she didn't even call them seriously, which made her uncle and aunt's faces change again and again.

The most important thing was that the calm nephew did not scold her after hearing this. Instead, he smiled gently and said to his newlywed wife, "Let's start the feast now."

After saying that, he looked towards his mother and said, "Mom, the meal is ready."

The ignored uncle glared at his wife in annoyance, as if blaming her for offending him as soon as someone came in.

The middle-aged woman was glared at by her husband and felt a little unhappy. She secretly glared at Qi's mother.

When Qi's mother met that murderous gaze, she quickly avoided it, not daring to look directly at it.

The old woman who entered the hall with Su Yuyan noticed every subtle expression in the hall. She was still pondering carefully in her heart. When she came up with a way to deal with it, she would give her daughter some advice on how to deal with her mother-in-law and her in-laws' relatives.

The old woman is Madam Liu's trusted confidant. She is naturally worried about the marriage of her most troublesome daughter, so she asked the old woman to come as a dowry. In the future, she will protect her daughter in the Qi family, help her with strategies, and prevent her from being bullied.
