As expected, Lin Ruoxi's expression was a little unnatural, but she still forced a smile and looked at Cai Ning with a complicated gaze.
At the same time, Cai Ning looked at Lin Ruoxi apologetically and helplessly.
The woman pursed her lips and walked to Yang Gongming. She nodded gently and said, "Sir, my mom insisted on coming over today. Please forgive me for disturbing you and causing trouble."
Yang Gongming laughed and said, "This isn't a crime. Look at this old man, what's there to forgive?
I heard that you're one of the Group of Eight of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade. You're still so young, you're really a talented woman. "
"That's right." Jiang Shan immediately came forward and said, "Old Marshal Yang, my Ning Er is innocent and doesn't have much confidence. Please take care of her. As her mother, I'm always worried.
Oh right, I came here today to prepare a small gift for you. Please accept it. "
As she spoke, Jiang Shan placed the red box on the marble table.
Yang Cheng, who was standing at the side, didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This mother-in-law of his was really good at getting things done.
Yang Cheng couldn't help but blink at Cai Ning and puckered his lips at Jiang Shan to express his admiration.
Cai Ning's beautiful eyes flashed with a gentle light, but she didn't say anything.
Actually, from the moment Cai Ning entered the room, Yang Cheng could clearly feel that Cai Ning's cultivation had officially entered the Xiantian Realm, just like what she said over the phone. Moreover, because the cultivation technique that he had concluded was superior, her foundation was relatively strong. It wouldn't be too difficult for her to steadily improve in the future.
And because she had entered the Xiantian Realm, Cai Ning was much calmer than before. She was more elegant and tranquil.
This made Yang Cheng feel gratified. At least the path that he had chosen was right.
At the same time, Guo Xuehua was responsible for opening the gift that Jiang Shan brought.
After removing the red cloth, she realized that there was a thin wild ginseng inside!
The ginseng's roots were very small, but they were very long. The box couldn't fit all of them, so it had to be carefully wrapped in the box.
Yang Gongming's eyes lit up. "Good ginseng! This should be a wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain. From its appearance, it should be at least a hundred years old!"
Jiang Shan smiled, "Old Marshal, you have good eyes. Not bad, this Changbai Mountain Wild Ginseng is a hundred and ten year old. It's our family's heirloom, but I'll give it to you as a gift."
"A hundred and ten years? How can it be so incredible?" Yang Cheng didn't quite believe it.
"Son-in-law Yang, you can't say that. Although there are very few real ginseng on the market, this ginseng has been passed down for two generations, it can't be fake," Jiang Shan said happily.
The words' Son-in-law Yang 'made Lin Ruoxi's face puff up. She secretly pinched Yang Cheng's waist from behind, wanting to leave on the spot.
Yang Cheng was helpless. If it wasn't for Lin Ruoxi's presence, he would have gone up to hug Cai Ning, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
He couldn't touch any of the beauties in front of him, it was really tragic.
Yang Gongming picked up the ginseng box and praised, "What does a young man know? This ginseng depends on its head, color, and shape. This ginseng has more than four circles, so it's definitely not young. In addition, the color is dull and the roots are simple and slender. It's worthy of being a hundred years old."
"I wonder if Old Marshal is satisfied?" Jiang Shan asked with a smile.
"This … such a precious wild ginseng, I don't deserve it!" Yang Gongming said politely.
Jiang Shan hurriedly said, "Of course not, with Yang Cheng around, the Yang Family and the Cai Family are in-laws. Why would I feel guilty giving my in-laws a wild ginseng?"
There were many things that couldn't be said directly, but everyone understood.
Jiang Shan was sure that Yang Gongming wouldn't reject having a woman like Cai Ning as his grandson's lover, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Indeed, if it was in the past, the atmosphere of society back then would definitely not allow the children of influential families to indulge in their private lives.
But among these influential families, who didn't have any romantic affairs? Thus, he could only turn a blind eye to it.
Of course, Yang Gongming had long heard about what happened between Cai Ning and Yang Cheng, which was why he let the mother and daughter in easily and was quite fond of Cai Ning.
But when he said this, Cai Ning couldn't help but turn her head away shyly, and Yang Cheng could only smile bitterly at Lin Ruoxi.
"If that's the case, I'll accept it," Yang Gongming said as he passed the box to Yan Sanniang and ordered someone to put it away.
Jiang Shan was overjoyed. With Yang Gongming accepting it, it meant that Cai Ning's matter was almost completely settled. Since Cai Ning was fine, Choi Yeon naturally agreed that it was fine.
Immediately, Yang Gongming ordered the servants to bring more tea and warmly invited Jiang Shan and her daughter to stay for dinner.
Of course, Jiang Shan couldn't wait. She even chatted with Guo Xuehua as she sipped on her tea.
It had to be said that even though Jiang Shan acted like a little housewife, it was because of this that people could relax.
Guo Xuehua quickly became familiar with her, even though they had only met once or twice in the past.
Cai Ning and Lin Ruoxi sat together and exchanged a few simple greetings. She didn't know what to say.
Yang Cheng, on the other hand, kept eating pastries and drinking tea. He was thinking of ways to make the relationship between the two women more harmonious, but both of them were cold types, so he really couldn't find a starting point.
Just as the two in-laws were chatting passionately, Lin Ruoxi stood up awkwardly and poured tea for everyone at the table.
At this moment, Jiang Shan's gaze was fixed on Lin Ruoxi's slender and fair wrist.
"Ah, this jade bracelet is really beautiful," Jiang Shan's sharp eyes immediately noticed.
Only then did everyone notice that on Lin Ruoxi's wrist, there was an additional jade bracelet that wasn't there when she came.
Yang Gongming, Yan Sanniang and Guo Xuehua naturally knew what it meant. Yang Gongming only glanced at Guo Xuehua with satisfaction and a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
Cai Ning wasn't a woman who valued jewelry, but when she saw the jade bracelet, she couldn't help but feel a tinge of envy in her eyes.
After Yang Cheng noticed it, he took a closer look and suddenly noticed something special. He couldn't help but ponder.
"Ruoxi, where did this bracelet come from?" Yang Cheng asked.
Lin Ruoxi wasn't someone who liked to show off. Being stared at like this, she felt a little embarrassed as she touched the precious Fengxiang bracelet and said, "Mom just passed it to me this afternoon …"
Then, Lin Ruoxi roughly told them what Guo Xuehua said.
When she heard that it was an ancestral heirloom for the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yang Family, jealousy filled Jiang Shan's eyes. She pondered and asked with a smile, "So it's the treasure of the Yang Family, the Fengxiang bracelet. What a nice name and it looks really good.
Xuehua, is this bracelet a single one? And it's a pair? "
Hearing such a straightforward question, Guo Xuehua almost broke out in a cold sweat. She smiled stiffly and said, "Of course it's a single one. This is an imperial jade, it's rare in the world. How can it be a pair?"
"Oh … That's a pity," Jiang Shan said helplessly and heartache, "My Ning 'er has grown up and I, as her mother, have never given her a decent piece of jewelry. Ruoxi is so lucky to have such a good mother-in-law. "
When she said that, Lin Ruoxi blushed all the way to her ears. She secretly glared at Yang Cheng with a hidden bitterness.
Yang Cheng thought to himself innocently, what does this have to do with me?
Cai Ning said, "This bracelet matches Ruoxi's temperament very well. It looks good on her."
Lin Ruoxi was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said, "Thank you."
This gentle compliment made the relationship between the two women a little more harmonious.
Then, Yang Cheng thought for a while and looked at Yan Sanniang. He asked, "Grandma Yan, can you see the secret behind this Fengxiang bracelet?"
Yan Sanniang asked doubtfully, "Secret? What do you mean, Young Master Chen? "
Yang Cheng thought to himself. With Yan Sanniang's cultivation base, she wouldn't be able to notice anything special about the Fengxiang bracelet. I wonder which expert left this treasure behind. I should really thank that ancestor.
"It's nothing, it's just that this bracelet is really good." Yang Cheng looked deeply at Lin Ruoxi and said, "Wifey, you should always wear it. Don't take it off, it looks good anyway."
Lin Ruoxi didn't understand Yang Cheng's words. But she had already promised Guo Xuehua that she would wear it before she gave birth, so she nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Jiang Shan interrupted, "Son-in-law Yang, I heard from Ning 'er that you and Ruoxi will be holding a wedding in a few days. If you need any help, don't be shy. I know you're not an impartial person, but our Ning 'er and Yeonyeon are very generous. If you need any bridesmaids, they can still participate. "
Hearing this, Lin Ruoxi's face instantly turned gloomy.
"Mom …" Cai Ning quickly called out to her.
Yang Cheng furrowed his brows and took a sip of tea. He then said slowly, "Auntie, if I remember correctly, you chased me out the door when you first met me. You even opened the door to welcome Yong Ye to marry Ning 'er when you first met me.
If you've forgotten about that part of the past, then let me remind you. Since you're here to deliver the ginseng, I think you should stop before you go too far … "
Hearing this, Jiang Shan's words were stuck in her throat. She smiled awkwardly and didn't ask any further.
Cai Ning looked at Yang Cheng apologetically. Yang Cheng naturally wouldn't blame her, but he made up his mind to not be too nice to Jiang Shan in the future. When this woman opened her mouth, it was really hurtful.
