The whole family of Qi's had dinner together, although the old lady said that dinner didn't need to be formal, but as a new daughter-in-law, Hua Ruyi still planned to go and be honest.

  Qī Yòu looked at the person who was dressing up and said, "Since Grandmother has already said you can not go, why don't you take a rest? Later on, even if you want to rest, there won't be an opportunity."

  In the afternoon, Hua Ru finally understood Qi Yun's taciturn nature. If she didn't bring up a topic, he would sit there expressionless, neither leaving nor speaking.

  She could see that he was trying his best to get along with her, which made it even harder to imagine how he normally interacted with those other women.

  Looking into the mirror, Hua Ruojin said: "I can not go, but I will leave a rumor, some people have already said that I am from the martial arts world and do not know the rules, if I do this, wouldn't it be true?"

  After a pause, Hua Ruochu still decided to explain, "Husband, no matter what attitude I show on the outside, you must not think it's strange."

  "Call me by name."

  Again grasping the wrong point, Hua Ruochu helplessly said, "Qī Yòu."

  "I understand."

  Really simple, Hua Ru looked at herself in the mirror, made sure she didn't miss anything and stood up, "Let's go, or we'll be late."

  She had mentally prepared herself for indigestion and had the worst preconceptions, but when she was actually in it, she found it wasn't that difficult.

  When the two appeared in front of everyone together, each person's reaction was different. The old lady, however, was truly delighted. She liked people who followed rules.

  Hua Ru had never missed the satisfaction in her eyes, and she had a deeper understanding of the actual controller of the Qi Manor. From now on, it seemed that morning and evening visits were indispensable. Here, there was no such thing as divorce, unless she left by her own means. Otherwise, she would be bound to the Qi Manor for life and death. Since this was the case, it was very necessary to maintain a good relationship with them to make her life easier.

  "Grandfather, grandmother."

  "Weren't you told to take a good rest? There's no need to be in such a hurry at this moment."

  "It's only right for me to come and pay my respects; your daughter-in-law is in good health."

  The old lady patted her hand and smiled benevolently, "As long as you can digest it, that's all that matters. Shuang Ju, bring in the dishes."

  "Yes, madam."

  On ordinary days, the three daughters-in-law of the Qi family take turns serving meals to the elderly couple. Now that there is a new person, they can finally have a peaceful meal. Qi Wushi couldn't help but smile and say: "Now I'll be out of work."

  "You've also become an old lady, from now on it's your daughter-in-law's turn to take care of you."

  Qī Wǔ's eyes reddened as he wiped the corners of his eyes, "Yes, when my wife was serving me, I still felt quite young. Now that I have a daughter-in-law serving me, I truly feel old."

  The old lady pretended to hit her and said, "You dare to call me old in front of your wife? You deserve a beating."

  "You look older, but you're still spirited, this comparison makes it clear that your wife's spirit is not as good as yours."

  The second daughter-in-law, Qi Lin's wife, was envious and had always been trying to curry favor with the old lady. Today, however, she found herself being waited on instead of doing the waiting, and the two women suddenly became a good mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair. If it were really that easy, why hadn't they seen it before?

  Third Sister-in-law Qi Shen was just about to say a few words of ridicule, when she saw the maids bringing in dishes one after another, and she pursed her lips, thinking better of it.

  Hua Ru carefully served the dishes in order, placing some into the two elderly people's bowls, then changed positions and placed some into her husband's parents' bowls. No matter if they liked it or not, today was the first time and no one would find fault with her unless they deliberately wanted to make things difficult for her.

  Until the old lady indicated that she should sit down and eat, Hua Ruochu wiped her sweat and sat down beside Qi You, The dining table of the Qi family followed the rule of not speaking while eating, and the chopsticks would not make any noise. The whole room could only hear the muffled sound of chewing.

  The second and third wives looked at Hua Ruochu with a mindset of watching a good show, thinking that a woman from the martial arts world would not understand dining etiquette, but it was precisely these rules that made them feel superior.

  When they saw that Hua Ruyi's every move was more elegant than theirs, their eyes almost popped out. If it weren't for the fact that they still had some sense of reason, someone would have really lost face.

  The old lady also saw it and nodded secretly, this martial arts world is not all rough people.

  The Qi Wu family is even more pleased, isn't it also a credit to herself as the mother-in-law if her daughter-in-law does well? From now on, she wants to see which of the two younger uncles can marry a daughter-in-law like this, with good looks and character, and also with a dowry that makes people envious. If you have the ability, go and bring one back too.

  They managed to finish a bowl of rice, and the men went aside to talk. Hua Ruochu took the hot towel from Shuang'er's hand and gently wiped the old lady's mouth, her fingers carefully wiping each corner clean, adding some massage movements in between. At first, the old lady didn't feel anything special, but after a while, she felt warmth spreading through her fingers and realized the goodness of it. As people age, their vitality weakens, and their hands and feet are often cold. This warm feeling only comes from soaking in hot water for a short while, but now her hands were warm.

  A smile involuntarily crept onto her face as she took the tea and drank a mouthful, the temperature just right, making her feel even more delighted. "You're thoughtful."

  Hua Ru's face turned red again, as she was shy but couldn't hide her excitement from being praised. Qi Wu was very pleased and took over the conversation, saying: "Yu'er's wife is doing a great job! Mother, do you still remember when your daughter-in-law first served you dishes? I remember it clearly - my hands were shaking so much that half of the dishes were spilled outside, and I almost cried. But you were kind and didn't scold me at all. Your daughter-in-law remembers your kindness!"

  The old lady seemed to have recalled the scene as well, and in comparison, Yu'er's wife was indeed doing a good job.

  "Alright, today your mouth is smeared with honey, you just know how to coax my wife."

  Although she said so, the wrinkles on her face all smiled, and Erniang Qi Lin said reluctantly: "It's true, Eldest Sister is really good at coaxing people today. As a mother-in-law, it's different. The spirit is better. Mother, when I entered the house that year, I was not worse than my niece's wife. You can't just remember my niece's wife's goodness and forget all mine."

  "You also want to eat this vinegar, when did I forget your birthday?"

  Hua stood by and didn't interrupt, watching them take turns flattering each other, you praise one sentence, I give a sweet date, they played very happily, she watched also very happy, forgot about her, best not to remember at all.

  Those people really forgot about her, but someone couldn't bear to see her calm and deliberately pulled her in, "Mother, weren't you just praising your niece-in-law earlier? Why are you now complimenting Eldest Aunt and Second Aunt?"

  Hua Ru's head was lowered, pretending to be shy, and she didn't say a word.

  The old lady turned her head and looked at her with a smile, "Don't tease her anymore, this face can be used as a stove, Yu'er's wife, you've worked hard today, go back and rest, Old Master, Yu'er rarely gets two days off, let him have a good rest, let the young couple go back first."

  The old man glanced at the two of them and his eyes softened slightly, "Go."

  "Grandson takes his leave."

  "The daughter-in-law asked to leave."
