Chapter 19: Kiss and Run

Duke Weiguo looked at his grandson who was as handsome as a spring flower next to him:

"You have already started a family, so you need to be responsible. Only when you can stand up for yourself can you protect your wife and children. You must remember that a man's responsibility is to protect his family."

Xiao Yan lowered his head and looked submissive, as if he was willing to listen to advice, but few people believed him.

Next is to serve tea to parents.

First it was Master Xiao, then the tablet of the late madam.

The tea offered to the late madam was drunk by Xiao Yan's wet nurse.

"Mother, please have some tea."

I don’t know if it was Yue Xianhua’s illusion, but when she served the tea, the young man next to her seemed to stiffen for a moment.

The cheerful voice of the old nanny came from above: "Congratulations to the young master and the young mistress on their wedding. This old servant has a gift, which the mistress specifically asked to give to her daughter-in-law when she was alive. I wish you two good luck and everything goes well."

As he spoke, a jade ruyi carved with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes was handed to Yue Xianhua. It felt warm in his hand and one could tell at first glance that it was of great value.

Yue Xianhua subconsciously looked at Xiao Yan.

Seeing him nod, she raised her hand to take it: "Thank you, mother."

After that comes the stepmother, Jiang.

It can only be said that Jiang was able to marry into the Duke's Mansion and become a concubine even though Master Xiao already had a legal wife, and then be in charge of the Duke's Mansion's finances for more than ten years. Her skills in cultivating her energy are very good.

Having just been humiliated by Xiao Yan, she could now smile and present a pair of crystal clear and delicate white jade bracelets, speaking in a kind and gentle manner, acting like a good mother.

Yue Xihua couldn't help but think that her second aunt should learn from her and see what a mistress of a wealthy family should be like.

First of all, it is worth learning to not show your emotions on your face.

Xiao Yan helped Yue Xianhua stand up, with a smile on his handsome face: "I will tell you more about mother when we get back. If she were still alive, she would definitely love you very much. She was a very kind person, not the kind who would find excuses to set rules and torture her daughter-in-law. When she was alive, she didn't even set rules for concubines."

It seems that she misses her mother, but in fact, every sentence implies that some people are not proper mothers-in-law and have no right to bully her daughter-in-law.

Even Jiang's expression almost changed at this moment.

If possible, she really wanted to smash the cup and leave.

Yue Xianhua just stood aside with her head lowered. The person next to her attracted so much hatred that she, the bride, became the least noticeable one.

She could only say that some people were “famous” for a reason.

After that, the rest of the relatives didn't need to kowtow, but just offered tea. Xiao Yan introduced them one by one.

Sixteen years ago, Yue Xianhua was a noble lady from an aristocratic family. She was brought up as the wife of a prominent clan member. In addition, she had always wanted to be a good wife. After marriage, she helped someone make friends with the wives and manage relationships. She made a special note of all the complicated relationships with people in various families.

Although there were many people in the hall today, due to her upbringing and good memory, she was able to mention some relevant things in her words and responded appropriately, which made people like her even more.

It was because he performed so well that even Jiang, who was originally so annoyed by Xiao that she didn't want to talk, was attracted over.

Such a beautiful woman, paired with such a bastard, is like throwing flowers into the dirt, a waste of talent!

After serving tea, it is time to eat.

Yue Xianhua was a man of few words. She was always quiet and docile, acting like a shy new bride. After a simple meal, she followed Xiao Yan away.

There was some free time on the way back, so Xiao Yan introduced the buildings in the mansion to her as they walked.

Yue Xianhua listened quietly and did not speak. Only when the young man could not help asking her "Did you hear it? Do you need me to tell you again", would she look up and give him a look.

It was too cold, pouring cold water on the young man's burning heart.

Finally, we arrived at Chunxi Courtyard where Xiao Yan lived.

But he stopped and didn't go in: "I have something else to do so I won't go in."

He grabbed the young lady, who was walking towards the house with her head down and didn't care about her husband at all, and pulled her into his arms.

Yue Xianhua was stunned for a moment. She realized that they were outside and wanted to break free. Then she heard the boy's hoarse voice close to her ear. His breath was so hot that her legs went weak. She couldn't help but think of those chaotic scenes in front of her eyes:

"If you are tired, take a good rest. No one will disturb you for three days." The little girls seemed to blush because of their master Meng Lang's actions and lowered their heads.

Yue Xianhua felt that there seemed to be something wrong with what he said. Just as she was about to open her mouth to ask for clarification, she saw the young man lower his head towards her.

She closed her eyes subconsciously.

Then his lips were kissed hard.

"Be good, wait until I come back."

After saying this, Xiao Yan let the girl go, and without waiting for the girl to react, he turned around and left.

Yue Hua, who was kissed so shy and confused, was left standing there with her pretty face flushed.

She heard a little giggle from the side and her face started to get hot, but she pretended nothing happened and walked towards the room.

As soon as I entered, I couldn't hold it in anymore: Ahhhhh bastard! Shameless guy!

But before she could finish her silent cursing in the room, a cautious female voice came from outside: "Young... Madam, may I come in?"

Yue Xianhua was stunned, and instantly forgot about her shame and anger. This voice...

"Come in."

As the door was pushed open, Yue Hua's eyes widened when the familiar face came into view:
"Qing'er..."

"Miss, I miss you so much."

As soon as Qing'er saw Yue Xianhua, she couldn't help but rush over to him: "I thought I would never see you again in this life. Fortunately, God has eyes. You don't know how much I wanted to go back when I heard that the Duke's Mansion went to propose marriage..."

"Okay, okay, stop crying. Don't let others laugh at you."

Yunzhi advised with a sniffle.

Qing'er then let go of her hand and said while wiping her tears, "Excuse me, young lady..."

Yue Hua shook his head and pulled him over to sit down: "Tell me, how did you get here?"

The curious eyes outside who wanted to see were immediately blocked outside the door.

Yunzhi stood guard at the door and didn't allow anyone to approach.

"I was found by Xiao Er...Uncle's people, and then I was brought to the Duke's Mansion."

As Qing'er explained, Yue Xianhua's originally surprised mood was unconsciously shrouded in a layer of haze.

Qing'er also gradually noticed that the young lady's expression was not right, and restrained her expression: "Young lady, should I not come?"

"Of course not, I just...ha."

As she spoke, she yawned unconsciously, and her beautiful eyes were misty and sparkling.

"I am back now, how about we wait until the young lady wakes up?"

Although she did not show up last night, she still heard about the quarrel between the son-in-law and the young lady all night.

Although Qing'er didn't understand what had happened all night, she couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw the blue eyes of the young lady.

Yue Xianhua wanted to say no, but before she could finish her sentence, she yawned twice and finally agreed:

"Okay then, I'll sleep a little longer and let Yunzhi arrange things for you."

Qing'er nodded and helped the delicate young lady to the bed.

As soon as the pearl hairpin on her head was taken off, Yue Xianhua tilted her head and fell asleep without even taking off her shoes.

Qing'er opened her mouth in surprise. She had never seen the young lady like this before. How tired must she be?

Yue Hua, who had no idea what her maid was thinking, had only one thought before she fell asleep:
He had guessed her plan...
