Chapter 93 - Talking About Talismans
"I don't want to be a nuisance." When Su Chen Hao said this, a trace of pain flashed past his eyes.
Old Man Su knew who he was talking about and let out a long sigh. He lowered his head, "Your mother..." Forget it, if you want to move, then move. However, Xi Wen will have to visit her frequently, I heard from Old Hu that your mother really likes Xi Wen."
"I know, I will tell Xi Wen." Su Chen Hao said, his tone paused, he was about to say something about the Second House coming over when he saw Hu Bo walking over from the front, "Master, Eldest Young Master, Second Master and the others are here."
"What are they doing here?" Old Man Su frowned when he heard this. A hint of unhappiness flashed across his face, as if he didn't want to be disturbed on this peaceful morning.
By the time the grandfather and grandson pair returned to the hall, Huo Xi Wen had already woken up.
Eldest Wife, accompanied by the servant Sisters of Lotus, also went downstairs and sat on the sofa in the hall.
"Good morning, Grandpa." Seeing Old Man Sun, Huo Xi Wen immediately smiled sweetly and greeted him.
"Girl, did you sleep well last night?" Old Man Sun looked at his cute and well-behaved daughter-in-law with a caring tone.
"Yes, I was exhausted yesterday, so I slept soundly at night." Huo Xi Wen said straightforwardly.
Before she finished speaking, Second Master Su had already walked in with his son and daughter-in-law.
Every word that Huo Xi Wen had said earlier fell into Luo Qing Yun's ears, and for some reason, her originally completely calm heart was once again unavoidably wracked with pain.
Last night, it seemed, their wedding night had been a happy one.
"Dad, you got up early today." Su Wan Bo's face was full of smiles as he walked to Old Man Su's side and helped him sit on the sofa.
"Hmph, I get up early every day." Old Man Su glared at him, before shifting his gaze to Su Qi Ze and Luo Qing Yun, who were standing not too far away.
Su Qi Ze made contact with his gaze, and immediately pulled Luo Qing Yun forward, "Grandfather, good morning. Qingyun, you've already met last night, so I won't introduce you too much. The reason I came here today is to pay my respects to you. On the other hand, I wanted to bring her to offer you a cup of granddaughter-in-law's tea."
After Old Man Sun heard this, his weathered gaze immediately fell on Luo Qing Yun, who was sitting next to him.
His eyes were sharp, carrying the absolute majesty of an elder. He did not smile at all.
"What a joke, you don't even have a wedding ceremony, and you just came over to pay respects to which son of a bitch's wife tea?" Our proper granddaughter-in-law has yet to offer tea." Bai Ci Hui had already seen Luo Qing Yun at the wedding last night, and was angry because Su Qi Ze's sudden attack had stolen some of her son's limelight.
Now that they heard that they wanted to toast tea, and even said it before Su Chen Hao and Huo Xi Wen did, she felt even more unhappy.
He Fen was displeased when she heard that, and immediately lowered her face, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that? Could it be that our daughter-in-law isn't daddy's proper daughter-in-law? "
"If she's a proper daughter-in-law, why don't we have a wedding and announce it to the world? It's interesting to have someone come to their wedding to announce their good news." Bai Ci Hui sarcastically replied.
He Fen clenched her teeth, feeling extremely unhappy in her heart, but she did not know how to refute her words.
"Aunty, Qingyun and I have received a certificate and we are a legal couple protected by the law. Qingyun doesn't like to be lively. I have always been low-key, and my health isn't too good, so I didn't plan on having too many people attend the wedding. That's why I took advantage of my brother's wedding yesterday to announce my good news. I thought that since we were both the grandchildren of the Su Family, and Big Brother's wedding was Su Family's wedding day, my wedding could be considered as icing on the cake.
As Su Qi Ze said that, he looked at Luo Qing Yun, who was beside her, and wrapped her arms around her waist, her face filled with deep emotions.
His words sounded extremely gentle, but anyone could hear that he was ridiculing Bai Ci Hui for being petty, not treating them as family.
Sure enough, after Bai Ci Hui heard this, her expression suddenly changed. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Old Man Sun cough loudly, "Alright, alright. Aren't we supposed to serve tea? Hurry, Old Hu, get someone to serve tea."
"Yes, master." Butler Hu agreed and quickly ordered some people to serve tea while he walked behind Old Master Su and placed the four big red packets by his side.
Chen Hao, you are the big brother. You and Xi Wen, the two of you go first. With Old Man Su's orders, Su Chen Hao pulled Huo Xi Wen and knelt under the prayer mat that the servants had prepared beforehand. Carrying some tea, he started from Old Man Su and gave a round of tea to each of the elders present.
Then, it was Su Qi Ze's turn. The two of them gave the old man tea, and the old man gave them two red packets. He Fen looked at Bai Ci Hui and purposely raised her voice, "Father, I'm afraid you don't have enough red packets."
"Why is there less?" Old Man Su turned to ask her.
"Don't you know that in this Qingyun's stomach, she has your great-grandson? They are a family of three, shouldn't you add another red packet?"
Just as she finished her words, Luo Qing Yun felt a cold light fly over from behind her back. Like a dagger, it fiercely stabbed into her heart.
When Bai Ci Hui suddenly heard this news, she was angry and jealous at the same time.
The Second Branch actually had a grandson before her. After fighting for so many years, she couldn't afford to lose to her at a time like this.
After pondering for half a second, she laughed, "What do I think it is? So it's because I got pregnant before marriage." I'm not saying, Sister-in-law, it's fine as long as you're secretly happy at home when it's like this. If some busybody were to hear that his nephew's wife was not strict in teaching, that would not be good."
After saying that, she turned to look at Luo Qing Yun, only to realize that she had always had her head lowered, looking weak and cowardly, and did not have much presence in the crowd, unlike a lady from a noble family, and so she asked, "Speaking of which family's daughter does your daughter-in-law belong to? If I'm not mistaken, my name is Luo, right? Does our Y City have a sect with the surname Luo? "
When she said these words, the pleased look on He Fen's face instantly faded, and her expression darkened.
When no one answered this question, the atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
Su Qi Ze wanted to open his mouth to refute a few words for Luo Qing Yun, but he also knew clearly in his heart that no matter how much the lotus blossomed from his tongue, Luo Qing Yun's birth was still her fatal weakness.
Bai Ci Hui couldn't be compared to his parents, although his parents would still mind Luo Qing Yun's birth background, but seeing the child, they would be willing to ignore those details.
But Bai Ci Hui was different, the words that she said were all for the sake of obtaining victory in this war of words, so she would not hesitate to pay any price, even if it meant exposing someone's weakness, she did not mind using it.
"Qingyun was born in a normal family, so she's not from a famous family. However, aunty doesn't know that what I like the most is her neighbouring temperament." Such a simple reply, Su Qi Ze's voice was very calm.
"So that's how it is, no wonder you became pregnant first. Since you were born into a small clan, it is rare for you to meet a young master like Second Young Master Su. Since you've met him, then you naturally have to try to catch up." Hearing this, Bai Ci Hui raised her eyebrows, and warned He Fen with a victorious tone: "Sister-in-law, don't say that I didn't warn you. Ever since ancient times, being the perfect match between a family and a family is very important."Don't you guys want to bring anyone home just to be a grandpa or grandma."
At this time, the silent Su Wan Bo finally could not hold it in and spoke in a lazy voice: "Thank you for your concern sister-in-law, but you should keep these words to yourself for your daughter-in-law. After all, with Big Brother's example right there, he should keep a close eye on Chen Hao and not take his big brother's life."Gene, this is something that can be inherited."
"What did you say?" Her husband's betrayal was Bai Ci Hui's greatest pain. In the past in Su Family, no one had dared to use this matter to provoke her. But today, Su Wan Bo had mercilessly attacked her.
Seeing that, Huo Xi Wen hurriedly went forward to support her mother-in-law, then turned and smiled at Old Man Su, "Grandfather, what Second Aunt said makes sense. With Qingyun having a child, you should give more red packets, since you're so rich, you shouldn't be lacking a red packet. Don't be too angry, hehe...."
Then, he pretended not to understand anything and asked Bai Ci Hui, "Mother, I am Qi Ze and Qingyun's sister-in-law. Then, should I also drink some tea? Do you have any more red packets? Can you lend me a few? I don't have a dime on me right now."
"Young Mistress, you really know how to coax Madam. You said that you don't have any money on you, but I saw that you took a few red packets from Master, Eldest Wife, Second Master and Second Wife. Do you want to keep them to buy us some delicious things to eat?"
"Shh, Hu Bo, is it easy for me to save up some money? "Why did you expose me?" Huo Xi Wen pretended to be angry and said.
At this time, Sisters of Lotus also laughed, "Eldest Young Mistress, I saw it too."
At this time, Huo Xi Wen let out a long sigh, and said unhappily, "With so many pairs of eyes staring at me, it seems like I shouldn't even think about getting this little treasury anymore."
After she made such a ruckus, the rest of the people also started laughing as Bai Ci Hui's anger had dissipated by a large amount. Right now, he was even more satisfied with this daughter-in-law who could act coquettishly and incite love.
After Su Qi Ze and his wife gave their tea, everyone went their separate ways, waiting for lunch.
Su Wan Bo and Su Qi Ze father and son followed the old man to the study room, while Huo Xi Wen accompanied Bai Ci Hui back to his room.
He Fen went to the Flower Hall to drink some tea while Luo Qing Yun accompanied him by her side.
After the servants served the tea, they all left. Because He Fen was still angry from being humiliated by Bai Ci Hui earlier, she turned and glared at him.
"As you can see, it's because you don't have a good background that everyone has to take as an example. A joyous occasion is not something that can be exposed in the eyes of others."
Luo Qing Yun knew that she still cared about how ordinary her background was, and how she wasn't worthy of Su Qi Ze at all. She didn't say anything for a moment, and only lowered her head, and stood at the side like a little wife.
