Rebirth of the entertainment industry and the return of the queen

Chapter 870 Engagement Ceremony
After all the chores have been dealt with, it's finally the day of the engagement.

According to etiquette, the engagement ceremony was held at her natal family, and a group of husband's family headed by Mr. Li came to the territory of the Xia family once again.No matter how much Mr. Li didn't like this granddaughter-in-law, he also knew that she was a noble person, and he couldn't afford to offend her easily, so he still gave Xia Ling enough face in front of everyone.

He handed a jade bracelet into Xia Ling's hands: "This is the heirloom jade bracelet of the Li family. It has always been worn by the head wife. Now I will give it to you. From now on, you will be the head daughter-in-law of the Li family." .” The dark blue ancient jade has a faint and lustrous luster, it is slightly warm when touched, and the patterns are complicated and beautiful.

Xia Ling took it, and thanked the old man respectfully.

Since the old man is polite to her, she will return the same politeness to the old man. No matter how dirty the two of them are in private, as important figures of the big family, they all know that they can't mess around on any occasion.

She looked at her prospective husband-in-law beside her with a smile: "Bring it to me."

Li Lei also smiled lightly, and stretched out his hand to carefully put the jade bracelet on her fair wrist.

It matches very well.

"From now on, we must live a good life with Li Lei, and don't let him down." This time, it was Mrs. Xia who was dressed up and told her with a smile.Mrs. Xia was very happy that the Li family gave her the heirloom jade bracelet in advance, which was a very high recognition of her daughter.

But she didn't know, how did Mr. Li agree with Xia Ling?

It's just that the Xia family had to be nice to the granddaughter-in-law because of the Xia family's hands and eyes, so they sent the family heirloom that was supposed to be presented at the wedding ceremony ahead of time.

Xia Ling didn't tell her mother about the twists and turns, these things, her family shouldn't worry about her.She smiled sweetly, kept her mother's advice in her heart, and said softly: "Mom, we will be happy." She raised her head and looked at her sweetheart tenderly.

Today's Li Lei, wearing the smoky suit and dress she personally gave him, looks extremely handsome, standing beside her like the most perfect guardian.He also looked at Xia Ling very tenderly, then turned his head and said to Mrs. Xia: "Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of Xiao Ling."

He smiled, and changed his words very smoothly, and he was very affectionate.

Mrs. Xia was so happy that besides the red envelope prepared in advance, she put two more gold bars into his hand, and said repeatedly: "Good boy, good boy, I will treat this place as my own home from now on. As soon as I saw you, I felt It’s not like the ice cube in our house, which has been raised for decades, and it’s never been so sweet when called Mom.”

The elder brother who is called a certain ice cube has black lines all over his face. Is this his real mother?Although he knew that his mother had always regretted having only one son, and would say that the elder son was too serious when bored, and he knew that he should have a cute younger son to accompany and laugh with him, but, but... Mom, Who proposed changing the two-way contract to a master-servant contract during the Phoenix Return Ceremony last time?
You cheated Li Lei and still smiled like this, does Li Lei know?

My elder brother really wanted to expose her, but I held back for the sake of world peace.

Mrs. Xia didn't feel embarrassed at all. From her point of view, Li Lei was an outsider before, but after signing the master-servant contract and changing his name to mother, he became the private property of the Xia family, his own.With such a junior whose mouth is sweeter than smeared with honey, what's the use of having an older son?

In just a split second, a certain sad elder brother was rejected by his own mother.

Li Lei was still smiling, and called his mother affectionately, and said: "My own mother died early, and I have been envious of others having mothers for so many years, and now I have one too, and I will treat you as my own mother from now on." mom."

Mrs. Xia was so moved that she said repeatedly, "I will be your real mother from now on."

No wonder people say that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the happier she is. This is a living example.Even patriarch Xia was jealous, couldn't help coughing a few times, and admonished Li Lei a few words in a dignified manner.

Li Lei was still affectionate: "Dad, I will often come to play chess with you in the future."

As a result, Patriarch Xia's majesty disappeared in an instant: "You are my own son!"

Xia Mo said: "..."

The engagement banquet was held in an orderly manner, the Xia family opened an open-air banquet, and the whole family celebrated together.It was very late that day, and the Li family stayed overnight at Xia's house.

Xia Ling returned to the room, changed out of her engagement dress, and took off her makeup.Her back was aching, and she yelled, and directed Li Lei who climbed in through the window as usual: "You beat my shoulders."

Li Lei obeyed and took care of her comfortably.

He was hugging her and getting ready to sleep, when suddenly there was a knock on the door: "Xiao Ling."

Li Lei was in a bad mood, and it was the voice of his elder brother who made his scalp tingle the most.

[I-go-open-the door, you-must-be good. ] Xia Xiaoling told him word by word with her lips.

Li Lei nodded aggrievedly and watched her leave.

Xia Ling looked up at her brother in front of the door: "Brother, do you need me?"

Xia Moyan said calmly, "Xia Yu is back."

Xia Ling was stunned for a moment, then remembered that there was such a person, and couldn't help asking: "She tried to murder Shao Hui before, but she confessed herself and said she was going to surrender herself. How did she appear here so well?"

"Did you forget that in addition to surrendering, she also said that she would return to the family?" Xia Moyan reminded her, "Xia Yu surrendered, that's right, because the circumstances were minor and did not cause any harm, the court pronounced that she committed a crime. Intentional homicide, three years in prison, suspended for three years."

"What does the three-year deferment mean?" Xia Ling didn't know much about it.

"It means that during these three years, she is free. Even if she returns to Xia's family to recognize her ancestors, she can live here without going out." Xia Moyan said.

"That's too cheap for her!" Xia Ling was unhappy, "My little Shaohui almost died!"

Xia Mo said calmly: "Since she has thrown herself into the trap and returned to the family, why are you unhappy? There are rules in the family, murdering the son of the phoenix, you think you can pass the test so easily?"

"Will you kill her?" Xia Xiaoling asked with bright eyes.

"Originally, I would," Xia Moyan said, "but she formed part of your catastrophe. Since it was God's arrangement, it is not easy to punish too much. The family law will punish you with 30 boards. From now on, every year when the son of Phoenix celebrates his birthday, you will be punished again." Hit 30 big boards." It's not easy anymore, [-] big boards are enough to bruise and lie in bed for ten days and a half months.

Xia Ling was a little disappointed, but well, it was better than no punishment at all.

Xia Moyan saw her displeasure, and said, "Now she is in the ancestral hall, ready to be tortured, do you want to take a look?"
