After Cheng Yujin finished speaking, Cheng Yuanjing turned around and couldn't help but laugh.
Cheng Yujin glared at Cheng Yuanjing sternly. "Ninth Uncle, I'm talking about serious matters. Don't laugh."
"Alright." Cheng Yuanjing's eyes were full of smiles. He raised his hand to Cheng Yujin. "You continue."
At this moment, the golden sunlight poured down. Cheng Yuanjing's face was handsome and his posture was calm. Under the sunlight, he smiled gently and looked at Cheng Yujin with a teasing and indulgent gaze. Everything was unbelievably handsome.
Cheng Yujin wanted to laugh as well. The corners of her mouth curled up, but in the end, she held it in and looked at Huo Changyuan with a serious face. "Marquis Huo, don't you think so?"
Huo Changyuan's fingers clenched into fists. His lips moved, and moved again. He wanted to speak a few times, but no words came out.
Call Cheng Yujin Sister? How, how could this be!
What was even more infuriating was that Cheng Yujin was talking and laughing freely with Cheng Yuanjing in front of him. She seemed to be angry and blaming him. Cheng Yujin wasn't someone who would act coquettishly and joke with others. Ever since Huo Changyuan and Cheng Yujin were engaged for half a year, she had always been well-behaved and polite. Even if they bumped into each other occasionally, she would stop three steps away from him and call out, "Marquis Huo."
She would never sit side by side and stare at him reproachfully and say, "Don't laugh."
Huo Changyuan's heart seemed to be empty. It was as if something important to him had been dug up by the roots and placed in a place where he could see but could never reach. There was a place in his heart that was empty. The wind blew through and made a whistling sound. There was a faint trace of pain, but more than that, there was emptiness, confusion, and helplessness.
Huo Changyuan kept replaying a scene in his mind. Cheng Yujin, dressed in red, was sitting on a bed with a dignified air. He was standing beside her, and the Five Colored Fruits were falling from the top of his head. This was the scene of their wedding, but in the next second, the image suddenly shattered. He lifted the veil and saw Cheng Yumo's shy and timid face.
It shouldn't be like this, Huo Changyuan kept repeating in his heart, but then he felt confused. If it shouldn't be like this, then what should it be?
Cheng Yumo was stopped by the Nguyễn Clan. After a while, she vaguely felt that something was wrong. She turned around and found that Huo Changyuan had disappeared. She quickly straightened up and found that Huo Changyuan was standing outside. Cheng Yumo narrowed her eyes. Through the curtains, she vaguely saw a light blue shadow.
Cheng Yumo's heart couldn't help but clench. She immediately walked out and saw Huo Changyuan standing on the ground. Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yuanjing were sitting opposite each other on the tea chairs. They seemed to be talking. Cheng Yumo tried her best to pretend that nothing was wrong. She casually walked forward and said, "Big sister, Ninth Uncle, what are you talking about?"
After approaching, Cheng Yumo naturally leaned against Huo Changyuan's side. Cheng Yujin's eyes swept over the two's overlapping sleeves. She smiled and said, "Second sister and Marquis Huo are newlyweds. Your feelings are deep. Congratulations."
When Cheng Yumo leaned over, Huo Changyuan didn't react at all. By the time he realized it, it was already too late. The arm that Cheng Yumo was leaning on was as stiff as a rock. He subconsciously glanced at Cheng Yujin and calmly took a step back. "There's someone else."
Cheng Yumo's shoulder was leaning on Huo Changyuan. When Huo Changyuan stepped back, half of her body relaxed and her entire body swayed. Cheng Yumo was dissatisfied. In her past life, when Huo Changyuan brought her back to her parents' home, he didn't care about what other people thought of him. He was very considerate of her. Why was he avoiding her when she was close to him now?
Cheng Yumo was used to being spoiled in her two lifetimes, especially in front of Huo Changyuan. Cheng Yumo couldn't accept that her gentle and considerate husband in her past life was no longer spoiling her. Cheng Yumo pouted and said, "Marquis, we're at home. There are no outsiders."
The newlyweds were arguing in front of them. Cheng Yuanjing had already lowered his head to study the tea in his hand when Cheng Yumo walked over. Cheng Yujin watched for a while and said with a smile, "Second sister is right. Ninth Uncle and I aren't outsiders. Marquis and Second sister can do whatever they want in private. There's no need to worry about us. "
When Huo Changyuan heard this, he felt even more embarrassed. When he and Cheng Yumo were at Marquis Jingyong, they didn't flirt or hug each other. However, when Cheng Yujin said this, it sounded as if they were very close.
Huo Changyuan wanted to clarify the situation, but Cheng Yumo stuck even closer to Huo Changyuan. She pouted and said, "That's right, Marquis. You're fine at home. Why are you so distant from me when you're at my parents' home?"
Cheng Yuanjing put down his teacup. He couldn't bear to listen to this anymore. Cheng Yujin also felt goosebumps all over her body. She calmly stroked her arm and said with a smile, "Second sister and Marquis have a good relationship. Since you newlyweds are so affectionate, shouldn't Ninth Uncle and I leave?"
"No need." Cheng Yumo pulled Huo Changyuan to sit on a chair on the other side. It just so happened that they were sitting across from Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yuanjing. Although Cheng Yumo remembered things from her previous life, she had just gotten married in this life. She was still very shy. When she was at Marquis Jingyong, she had to put on the airs of a new wife. She wouldn't take the initiative in front of Huo Changyuan. But now, in front of Cheng Yujin, for some reason, Cheng Yumo couldn't help but want to be closer to Huo Changyuan. It was as if this way, she could win back the face of her previous life.
Cheng Yumo pulled Huo Changyuan to sit down. Huo Changyuan wanted to struggle, but Cheng Yumo held him down. After Cheng Yumo sat down, she asked with a smile, "When I came out just now, I saw you guys chatting happily. What were you and Ninth Uncle talking about? Why are you smiling so happily?"
"Oh, this matter." Cheng Yujin's face had a smile, her eyes curved into crescent moons, and her eyes flashed with light. Huo Changyuan suddenly had a bad premonition. But before he could react, he heard Cheng Yujin say, "We were just talking about how to address each other. Now that Second Sis and Marquis Huo are married, it's too strange to always address each other as Marquis. Since we're already a family, we should naturally address each other as family. Don't you think so, Second Sis? "
Cheng Yumo didn't know what had just happened. After hearing what Cheng Yumo said, she felt that it was very reasonable. She nodded subconsciously. "Of course."
Cheng Yujin immediately revealed a triumphant smile. Cheng Yuanjing glanced at her helplessly. Although she was helpless, her eyes were full of smiles.
Cheng Yujin continued, "Second Sis's thoughts are indeed the same as mine. According to our family's seniority, I'll address Marquis as Second Brother-in-law in the future. But this way, Marquis will address me as Elder Sister and Ninth Uncle as Uncle. Marquis won't blame me, right? "
Cheng Yuanjing heard this and said, "No need. I don't care about the way you address each other."
Cheng Yujin immediately turned to glare at him. Cheng Yuanjing's expression didn't change. He changed his tone and said, "However, marriage is a good thing to have two surnames. Change the way you address each other to show your sincerity."
Cheng Yujin was satisfied. She smiled and looked at Cheng Yumo and Huo Changyuan. Cheng Yumo didn't have much of an opinion to begin with. When she heard Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yuanjing's words, she felt that each of them was very reasonable. Thus, she nodded repeatedly. "Elder Sister and Ninth Uncle are right. If Elder Sister calls me Marchioness, wouldn't it be too strange? As a family, we should be closer. "
Cheng Yujin's smile deepened. She looked at Huo Changyuan with a smile and asked, "Second Brother-in-law, what do you think?"
Of course, Huo Changyuan didn't think it was right. However, Cheng Yumo sat next to him and looked at him eagerly. After all, he was the one who took the initiative to marry her. Back then, it was all thanks to her for warming him with her body. Huo Changyuan couldn't help but feel pity for Cheng Yumo. If he didn't give her face, Cheng Yumo would inevitably think that he was unwilling to change his way of addressing her because of his old feelings for Cheng Yujin.
Huo Zhangyuan couldn't help but raise his head to look at Cheng Yujin. Cheng Yujin had a smile in her eyes, which made her picturesque eyes sparkle. Huo Changyuan couldn't stand Cheng Yujin's teasing smile. However, he couldn't help but want to obey her. He couldn't bear to disappoint her.
Huo Changyuan was forced to say with a straight face, "Of course. Since I married Mo'er, I should follow Mo'er's seniority. Ninth Uncle, Elder Sister. "
Cheng Yujin's eyes suddenly brightened. She quickly turned her face away to prevent herself from laughing out loud. Cheng Yuanjing didn't care much about seniority. When he heard Huo Changyuan call him Uncle, he didn't feel anything. However, when he saw Cheng Yujin so happy, he couldn't help but look at Cheng Yujin with amusement and helplessness.
Cheng Yujin held back her laughter with great difficulty. She turned her head and nodded her chin lovingly, "Mm, Second Brother-in-law."
Cheng Yuanjing's smile deepened.
Huo Changyuan felt awkward after calling her "Elder Sister." Fortunately, Old Lady Cheng's mama came out at this time and said, "Oh, Ninth Masters, First Young Miss, Second Young Mistress, Second Young Master, why are you all here? You made everyone look for you just now. The meal is ready. It's time to eat. "
Huo Changyuan let out a long sigh of relief and stood up first, "Okay, we'll be right there."
Huo Changyuan stood up and Cheng Yumo hurriedly followed him. Cheng Yujin followed behind. She stood up with satisfaction, but just as she suppressed the smile on her face, Cheng Yuanjing lightly knocked her on the head.
Cheng Yuanjing stood in front of her and looked down at her, "Mischievous."
Cheng Yujin didn't avoid him at all and looked up at him, "Ninth Uncle, I even let him call you Uncle. How can you burn the bridge after crossing it? "
Cheng Yuanjing looked at her and couldn't hide the smile in his eyes. He glanced at her and said, "You're twisting words and forcing logic. Don't mess around like this next time."
Cheng Yujin refused to accept this statement. She followed behind Cheng Yuanjing and defended herself as they walked, "How can this be called messing around? Isn't Cheng Yumo my younger sister? Isn't Huo Changyuan Cheng Yumo's husband? It's natural for him to call me Elder Sister. How can this be considered messing around? "
As they spoke, they had already reached the dining room. The servant girls were setting up the bowls and chopsticks. When they saw them, they quickly brought out chairs and said, "Ninth Masters and Eldest Miss have arrived."
The Cheng Family seemed to be used to Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yuanjing appearing together. Because they arrived late, the others were already seated. There were only two seats left. Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yuanjing naturally sat together.
Returning home was a family banquet, so there was no need to discriminate between men and women. The Cheng Family didn't have many people, so everyone sat at the same table. Even Cheng Enbao was placed on a small high stool. The wet nurse and Princess Qingfu looked after him together.
Princess Qingfu and the Nguyễn Clan didn't sit at the table. They sat at the side and pretended to put food in Old Lady Cheng's bowl. Old Lady Cheng let them take two pieces of food and said, "Today is Second Eldest Miss's big day. You don't have to be busy. Sit down and eat."
As usual, daughters-in-law couldn't sit at the table. They had to wait for their mother-in-law to finish eating before they could sit at the table and eat some leftovers. On the other hand, daughters and granddaughters could sit down and eat. Daughters were pampered guests in their maternal family and couldn't be easily punished. This was because sooner or later, they would become someone else's daughter-in-law. Once they got married, they would still have to serve their parents-in-law's meals. They would have to set the rules sooner or later until they gave birth to a son. Only when they had children would they have more face.
Today was Cheng Yumo's return home. Old Lady Cheng couldn't let the Nguyễn Clan put food in her bowl on this kind of day. Qingfu was a royal princess, so Old Lady Cheng didn't order her eldest daughter-in-law around. So today, the Nguyễn Clan and Princess Qingfu gestured for them to take two pieces of food. Old Lady Cheng let them sit.
Princess Qingfu and the Nguyễn Clan declined and sat down. Their seats had already been prepared. When the servant girls saw this, they hurriedly moved the chairs away and helped the two madams sit down.
Cheng Yumo watched her mother put food in her grandmother's bowl. This was clearly something she had seen for fifteen years, but today, she felt an indescribable bitterness. In the past, it was strange why she could sit down and eat while her mother had to stand to the side. As she gradually grew older, she understood the reason. However, it was also time for her to serve her mother-in-law.
Cheng Yumo thought of the Huxue Clan in Marquis Jingyong and couldn't help but have a headache.
However, today was the day of returning home. Cheng Yumo knew that after marriage, things would be different. In the future, it would be very difficult for her to return home. It was rare to see her parents and family. Cheng Yumo didn't want to think about the future. She just wanted to enjoy the present.
Behind each person was a servant girl who put the food in their bowl. If it was far away, the master didn't need to touch anything. The servant girl would automatically put it in the master's bowl. However, even though the servant girl said this, she wasn't a roundworm in the master's stomach. There were some dishes that the servant girl didn't notice when the master wanted to eat, or some dishes that the servant girl didn't like. Most of the time, the servant girl didn't satisfy the master's wishes. It was far more comfortable to do it herself.
Cheng Yumo wanted to eat fish, but the servant girl behind her was slow-witted. Not only did she not notice it for a long time, but when she finally picked up a piece of fish, it was full of bones. Cheng Yumo was dissatisfied. She couldn't help but think of her previous life, when Huo Changyuan put food in Cheng Yujin's bowl.
Cheng Yumo's jealousy immediately surged. In her previous life, when Huo Changyuan put food in Cheng Yujin's bowl, it made Cheng Yujin proud. Why couldn't she do the same? Cheng Yumo threw a tantrum. She tugged at Huo Changyuan's sleeve. Huo Changyuan turned around and saw Cheng Yumo pouting at him: "Marquis, I want to eat fish, but my hands are clumsy. I don't know how to pick out the bones."
The atmosphere at the table stagnated. Old Lady Cheng was unperturbed and pretended not to hear anything. Cheng Yuanhan looked around and was about to scold Cheng Yumo for being rude when the Nguyễn Clan stepped on his foot and forcefully shut him up.
Cheng Yuanhan didn't know what was going on. The Nguyễn Clan glared at him fiercely. What are you yelling about when you're just a couple?
Cheng Yuanhan could only shut up. Princess Qingfu, who had always been noble and domineering, and had an average relationship with her husband, saw this and almost rolled her eyes. Hu Mei, the daughter of that slut, the Nguyễn Clan. Sure enough, she wasn't a good person either.
Although everyone at the table was eating, their gazes were all focused on Huo Changyuan. Huo Changyuan was very embarrassed. Everything was going well. What was Cheng Yumo trying to do?
Huo Zhangyuan suddenly felt annoyed. It was fun for Cheng Yumo to act coquettishly with him in bed, but to act like this in a formal setting was really inconsiderate.
Cheng Yujin clicked her tongue in her heart. She picked up a bean sprout and slowly chewed on it. Watching the drama at close range was especially exciting. Cheng Yujin didn't mind watching the drama unfold. While watching the drama, she picked up food. In the end, she wasn't paying attention and accidentally put a piece of ginger into her bowl. Cheng Yujin immediately choked after taking a bite. She hurriedly covered her mouth and coughed. Tears were about to come out of her eyes.
Cheng Yuanjing had long felt that the piece of ginger she picked up wasn't right. Before he could remind her, she had already bitten into it. Cheng Yuanjing sighed and took a teacup from the side. He patted her back and said, "Be careful. Drink some water first."
Their movements were not small. The people who were secretly staring at Huo Changyuan were stunned for a moment. They uniformly looked at Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yuanjing.
