It was as if she felt her gaze, Qi Zhen raised her head to look at her, and their eyes met for a moment before quickly shying away, soon not only her face but also her neck turned red, and she lowered her head again.
Hua Ru's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she immediately relaxed. She had always disliked people who were evasive and secretive, making others feel like they were hiding something, as if they had done something wrong. In a family like this, Qi Zhen should have been able to grow up without being taken advantage of, so how did she end up with such a personality? But that was none of her concern.
The little girl was either too naive or not deep enough, Hua Ruochu responded easily and seemed to be getting along well. Probably the bride's beauty exceeded their expectations. The youngest Qiying said, "Sister-in-law, I secretly heard others say you're ugly, but now you look really beautiful, not ugly at all."
"Does Na Qiying like ugly or beautiful sister-in-law?"
"It doesn't matter if she's ugly, as long as Big Brother likes her. Besides, Big Brother already has a beautiful daughter, and in the future, if he meets someone else he likes, he can just bring her home too." Qiying smiled until her eyes were narrowed, but Hua Ruchu felt a chill in his heart - at only 7 or 8 years old, she already had such cunning intentions, truly a testament to Fifth Madam's teaching methods.
Does she want to argue with her? Just based on these few words? Arguing with a little kid is losing face for her, they calculated that today they must be magnanimous, does she want to tell them that she never expected her husband would only have her alone?
Because there were no expectations, she wouldn't be disappointed. Later on, she had countless ways to leave the Qi Manor and live a carefree life after confirming that Qi You was not worth her efforts.
Fiddling with the flowing tassels on her wedding dress, Hua Ru Chun smiled and said, "Qī Yíng understands a lot."
Qī Xīn gently pulled Qī Yíng, smiling and pulling her up, "Little Yíng is still young, don't mind her, Auntie. It's been a tiring day, let's rest early.
"Feel free to come over anytime." Several people filed out, Qi Zhen walked slowly at the end, until the people in front had all stepped out of the threshold, she whispered: "Sister-in-law is very beautiful."
Watching the figure running out quickly, Hua Ru was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter. After all, it's family, so even if you're timid, you have to show your attitude and support, right?
Let Dongfei go find someone to carry hot water, Yunshu stepped forward and took off the heavy phoenix crown on Huajuchu's head, pressed it lightly for a while, then pulled her own young lady up and took off that wedding dress. "Qiu Jian, Chunyu, you two attend to the young lady and help her bathe, give the young lady a massage, I'll tidy up the new room."
"Yes."
The entire Qi Manor's front yard was in an uproar, and even the old master had drunk a few more cups than usual. It had been a long time since the Qi Manor had been so lively. Ever since he himself had been injured and recuperating, the Qi Manor's influence had been declining one step at a time. Fortunately, now that Yu'er had grown up, she could hold up the Qi family.
With a drunken gaze, he stared at the table next to him, never expecting that the prince would come today, and not just make an appearance, but stay until now, undoubtedly giving Yu'er great face.
Face! He didn't care about it before, but now the Qi Manor is short of this, wanting to restore its former glory, how easy can it be?!
Qiu You has already drunk quite a bit, if he hadn't used some small tricks and his alcohol tolerance wasn't originally very good, he would have fallen down long ago.
Qī Zhèn took another drink for him, and with a half-drunken look, his charming demeanor became even more pronounced. With one raised eyebrow and one blink of the eye, he exuded an aura of peach blossoms. He had always been fond of his own plumage and knew that if he continued drinking, he would definitely make a fool of himself. So, he pulled Qī Liáng over to block him from view, saying "It's your turn now."
Qī Liáng's anger made him want to jump up, what's the point of it being his turn now, he thought when he wanted to get on but wasn't allowed to, now that he can't hold himself up anymore he thinks of him, even if in his heart he is cursing, in action he is still very quick to down another glass of wine that has been handed to him again, and at the same time pushes Qī Zhèn far away, looking annoying.
Qī Zhèn Chōng Qī Yòu smiled complacently, look, now both of them have escaped.
"Big brother, don't you want to go back to your room and see your wife first?"
Qī Yòu opened his eyes to look at him, not as cold as usual, but didn't say anything. At this time, going back to the room could only bring in the smell of wine, what else could be done? These people rarely found an opportunity to make trouble for themselves, and they wouldn't let it go if they weren't satisfied. Hopefully, they would all have fun during the day, and there would be no need to make trouble at night.
When Qi You was helped back to his room, the sky had already turned completely dark. The faint sounds coming from the front yard told Hua Ru that the excitement was far from over. Qi Zhen helped send the person to the room and shook his body, almost falling onto the bed. He quickly grabbed hold of it and panted heavily, "Elder sister, elder brother is leaving him in your care. He's had a lot of wine, you have to help him sober up or else this wedding night will be wasted, haha."
No need to say, just smelling the wine aroma knew he had drunk a lot. Hua Ru Chu was more familiar with this person who came to pick him up than others in the Qi family, and his words were naturally accompanied by a smile. "This doesn't require your concern, go back and rest, thank you for today."
"Just thank you, if there's any good friend in the boudoir who wants to get married, just introduce me, no need for a ten-li red wedding, five li is enough."
Qī Yòu turned over at this time and actually sat up slowly, "I will remember to arrange a marriage for you."
"Aren't you drunk?"
Isn't he pretending to be drunk? Qi You sat at the head of the bed, rubbing his forehead and glanced at him, "Not leaving yet?"
Just use and throw it away, Qi Zhen shrugged his shoulders. Before leaving, he didn't forget to remind Da Shu again that he still lacked a wife, of course, with the emphasis on the five-mile red sedan chair.
With the noisy people gone, there was a moment of silence in the house. Hua Ru initially seemed to have swept the bed with an almost imperceptible glance, "Do you want to eat something?"
Qī Yòu looked at her for a while and nodded.
Chun Yu left for the small kitchen as soon as Qi You nodded, where she had already prepared food and was waiting by herself, ready to be served.
Two people, one sitting on the bed and the other standing outside the small house-like bed, gazing at each other. Yun Shu was somewhat anxious, shouldn't Miss have been taught some knowledge before getting married? Shouldn't she be attending to her husband's grooming and changing clothes now?
Hua Ru Chu seemed to have thought of something, lifted her foot and was about to go forward to serve, but thinking that she still had to eat, changed her mind. "Can I eat first before washing up?"
Qī Yòu narrowed his eyes and looked at her, nodding slightly as if it was neither possible nor impossible.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and Hua Ru felt even more so. This was the first time they had met, and it just happened to be on their wedding day. They didn't know each other at all, and they didn't even know where to start when trying to make conversation. It was really frustrating. But what was even more frustrating was the bed sheet - how did she get a one-night stand feeling from it?
Fortunately, Chunyu returned quickly and arranged the prepared light meal, then retreated to one side.
Qī Yòu remained still, Huà Rú Chū thought for a moment, then walked forward and grasped the man's arm, the man stood up with the momentum, half of his body pressing against Huà Rú Chū.
She filled a bowl with porridge for him and pushed the dishes in front of him, and Hua Ru Chu spoke in her warmest voice: "Eat a little to warm your stomach."
Qī Yòu looked at her again, or rather, his gaze had been on her all along, even if it strayed slightly, the corner of his eye was still on her. "Have you eaten?"
"Ah, I'm not hungry for now."
Qī Yòu didn't say anything else, and slowly started eating the bowl of porridge. He ate very slowly, but the bowl was empty in no time. Seeing that he wasn't full at all, Huā Rú Chū added another bowl for him.
She really is wise and virtuous today, does she still want to live a good life? Sneering in her heart, Hua Ruochu got up and walked to the front of the large dragon and phoenix candles, looked at them for a while, picked up scissors and cut off a bit of the wick, the flame jumped up, making the room feel even brighter.
Her wedding night!
