Qingshan Village, Qin Family.

Today is the day for Qin Xiaoxiao to go home. The Qin family was busy last night, frying a bunch of her favorite meatballs and fried fish.

Before dawn in the morning, Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang went to the backyard to catch two old hens and slaughter them. They went to a rabbit raiser in the village and bought a fat rabbit. They kept busy until the sun rose above their heads, and finally put the chicken and rabbit meat into the pot.

.

Looking at the bubbling chicken in the pot, Qin Shan rubbed the rhubarb's head while lighting the fire: "This hasn't arrived yet after ordering. Could it be that something happened on the road?"

"Bah, bah, a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!" Lin Qiuniang spat on the ground several times, and glared at her husband angrily: "What can happen if I smile? How can they grow wings and fly over from such a long distance?"

?”

Qin Shan knew that he had said the wrong thing, and even after being scolded by his wife, he did not dare to reply. He said dullly: "It would be better if the two families were closer to each other. I won't be able to stay here for long and have to rush back in a hurry."

, I’m exhausted.”

When he said this, Lin Qiuniang felt very distressed and couldn't help but said: "How about we find a way to buy a house in the capital. When we have free time in the future, we can go there and stay for a while. It's easy to see Xiaoxiao."

The couple had discussed this matter before, but they didn't do anything until the money came together. Although Jing Heng said that they would live in the Hou Mansion for a long time, it is not their own house after all. They will inevitably feel uncomfortable if they live for a long time, and they are even more afraid of outsiders.

Gossip about Qin Xiaoxiao.

"I think it's okay. Let's go back to the capital and inquire about how much money the house we want will cost." Qin Shan agreed immediately. He couldn't sleep well at night since his daughter was not with him these two days.

"Well, you have to take this matter seriously and don't forget it." Lin Qiuniang warned, mentally calculating how much money she would get this year.

In order to buy a decent dowry for Qin Xiaoxiao, they put all their savings into it. Although this dowry was not worth mentioning compared to the betrothal gift given by the princess's house, it was a sign of their deep love for their daughter.

.

At this time, Big Yellow's ears lying at the foot of Qinshan moved, and he slowly got up and looked outside, as if he was trying to discern something.

Seeing this, Qin Shan quickly put down the fire stick and said, "We're probably here, I'll go out and have a look."

After that, he hurriedly ran to the front yard, and Dahuang also followed closely.

Lin Qiuniang glanced at the pot and saw that the chicken and rabbit meat were almost cooked. She added a piece of firewood to the stove and hurriedly went to the front yard.

Sure enough, as soon as they arrived at the gate, they heard the sound of horse hooves not far away, and Dahuang was already moving towards them with his head and tail wagging.

After a while, five horses appeared around the corner. The one running at the front was a big white horse. On the horse's back was Qin Xiaoxiao, who was dressed in red.

Seeing her father and mother standing at the door, she couldn't help shouting: "Dad, mother!"

"Hey!" Qin Shan was so excited that he even walked and ran to meet him.

Lin Qiuniang frowned and murmured in her heart: What's wrong with this girl? How can she still ride a horse? Could it be that the marriage was not consummated?

Thinking of this possibility, her face changed slightly, her suspicious eyes fell on her son-in-law who was following closely behind her daughter, and she did not dare to think further.

Jing Heng knew nothing about this. When he saw his father-in-law approaching, he dismounted in time and saluted respectfully: "Father-in-law."

Qin Shan first looked at his daughter carefully and saw that she had a rosy complexion and a cheerful look. She did not look like an angry little daughter-in-law. He nodded with satisfaction, then looked at his son-in-law and gave him a smile: "We are all one family.

People, there is no need to be polite."

Jing Heng stood up and saluted Lin Qiuniang and Mr. Qin and Mrs. Miao respectively. The arrogance he used to face the Qin family was completely gone from his face and eyes.

Qin Xiaoxiao hadn't seen her family for two days, and she was really thinking about it. She hugged the arms of Mr. Qin and Mrs. Miao and acted coquettishly: "Grandpa, grandma, I think you can't sleep at night because of your thoughts, and your eyes are swollen when you wake up in the morning.

of."

Mrs. Miao was coaxed and laughed: "Grandma misses you too. Last night, your mother and I fried a lot of meatballs and fish pieces. You will take them away in a while. It's just that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, so we can't keep them for a long time. You

You have to finish it as soon as possible."

When Qin Xiaoxiao heard this, he pictured in his mind the scene of his grandma and mother making delicious food for her while talking about her under the dim candlelight. His eyes were a little hot: "Okay, I have to eat it as well."

Eat it all.”

Jing Heng reminded: "There is an ice cellar in the house, so you can keep it cold and eat it slowly."

Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up: "You can eat this for a long time."

Everyone laughed, Lin Qiuniang laughed and scolded: "What a greedy cat!"

Qin Xiaoxiao held her mother's arm and said with a smile: "You also raised Greedy Cat."

Lin Qiuniang couldn't answer her words because of her shamelessness, so she could only smile helplessly and let her go.

After entering the house, Qin Xiaoxiao completely relaxed physically and mentally. He immediately got into his room, changed into his usual clothes, and went to work in the kitchen.

Mrs. Miao and Lin Qiuniang did not treat her as a guest, and they continued to treat her as they wished.

After the rice rain had passed, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had some free time, and began to ask her in detail about her two days at her husband's house, focusing on the attitude of the Princess Protector during the tea ceremony yesterday.

"My mother is very nice. She treats me as kindly as before. She gave me and brother Li a pair of heart-shaped pendants. She hopes that we will be of the same mind as husband and wife. She didn't say anything else." Qin Xiaoxiao knew what her grandma and mother were worried about, so she hurriedly took care of her.

The words and deeds of my mother-in-law were repeated.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling grateful for the kindness of the Princess Protector.

When a woman enters her husband's house for the first time, she is most likely to be threatened by her husband's family when serving tea. I thought that Princess Protector would take the opportunity to beat her daughter (granddaughter) and ask her to be careful about her duties, but she didn't expect that she just wanted her and her son-in-law (granddaughter-in-law).

Be a loving couple.

Thinking of this, Lin Qiuniang seriously taught her daughter: "His Highness treats you kindly, and you must not be arrogant or willful. You must respect His Highness. Your Highness eats more salt than you eat rice. You must listen to His Highness's teachings..."

At this point, she paused, unable to finish her words in front of her mother-in-law.

But Mrs. Miao took over the conversation and said what she had not finished: "You can't listen to everything. Under the guise of doing your best, I made you hold back your anger and live an uncomfortable life. It goes in one ear and out the other. Don't

Go against His Highness."

Qin Xiaoxiao felt warm in her heart and responded obediently: "Grandma, mother, I've written it down, you don't have to worry about me. Besides, there's Brother Li here, I'll discuss anything with him."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law nodded. They still trusted their son-in-law (grandson-in-law), whom they had known for more than ten years, and were not too worried that he would indiscriminately side with the Princess Protector and make their daughter (granddaughter) suffer.

Just thinking that her son-in-law might not be able to do it, Lin Qiuniang felt terrible and decided to ask her daughter in private.

After the meal was cooked, Qin Shan called over the second and third rooms next door and Xue Ya. There was no room for one table, so it was divided into two tables, one for men and one for women.

When a jar full of wine was served on the table, Mr. Qin reminded his children and grandchildren: "Xiao Jing and Xiaoxiao will have to ride back later, so don't persuade him to drink."

Upon hearing this, Dabao and his son had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​persuading them to drink, and drank happily by themselves.

However, Jingheng felt that it was not good and took the initiative to toast the elders with a glass of wine, so that Mr. Qin and others could have a better sense of him.

The same goes for the women's table. Knowing that Qin Xiaoxiao has a low drinking capacity, no one will let her drink more. If she gets confused after drinking, it will be bad if she falls off the horse on the road.

Fortunately, there were more people and the atmosphere was getting better and better. Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but tease Qin Xiaoxiao about the little things between the couple.

They didn't know that Qin Xiaoxiao hadn't consummated their marriage with Jing Heng yet, and she was also confused and insensitive to such things, so they felt that what everyone said was a bit strange and they couldn't understand it.

Lin Qiuniang saw it and was anxious in her heart. After the meal, she didn't even bother to wash the dishes and took her daughter into the room.

Seeing her mother's furious look, Qin Xiaoxiao thought it was something big and asked nervously: "Mom, what's wrong with you? When we were eating, I felt something wasn't right about your face."

Lin Qiuniang ignored her worries, asked her to sit down, and asked in a low voice: "Have you consummated your marriage with Xiaojing?"

Qin Xiaoxiao was a little shy: "Well, we slept together on the day of the wedding."

They even kissed and hugged her for a long time, and her mouth was swollen. Of course, she was embarrassed to say this, because no matter how thick-skinned there is, there is still a limit.

Lin Qiuniang frowned, feeling a little unsure again, and continued to ask: "Did you feel any discomfort on the night of consummation? Did you feel any backache when you woke up the next day?"

Qin Xiaoxiao was confused and shook her head: "I'm not uncomfortable. Mom said it would hurt and asked me to endure it, but I didn't feel any pain." It was just that her heartbeat was beating so fast, as if it was about to jump out.

Lin Qiuniang's heart went cold and she asked without giving up: "Then, did Xiaojing help you take off your obscene clothes and pants that night?"

Qin Xiaoxiao wondered: "Mom, after we get married, do we have to take off our undergarments before going to bed? Brother Li and I didn't take them off either."

Lin Qiuniang's heart was completely cold, and her face became extremely ugly.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!" Qin Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she thought she was dissatisfied with Brother Li for not helping her take off her clothes, so she hurriedly said something nice for him: "Mom, Brother Li is very good to me.

When I told him about having a baby, he said he didn’t want me to feel pain and would talk about having a baby later, really!”

What does it mean that the more you talk, the more confusion you get? That’s it.

Lin Qiuniang's face was ashen, she held her daughter's hand tightly, tears streaming down her face: "Xiaoxiao, my miserable daughter, I'm sorry for you, I shouldn't have approved of you marrying him, I shouldn't have...

…”

Qin Xiaoxiao was confused and didn't understand why her mother was like this. When she came to her senses, she hurriedly hugged Lin Qiuniang and comforted her: "Mom, what is going on? Can you tell me clearly?"

Lin Qiuniang became more and more heartbroken. She didn't want her to be deceived into being a widow all her life, so she gritted her teeth and told the truth: "Xiaoxiao, Xiaojing, he can't do it. We have to find a way to get him to write a letter of divorce and give you your freedom!"

Brother Li can't do it? Qin Xiaoxiao is even more confused: Brother Li is good-looking, can make money, and is considerate, so what's wrong with him?

"Xiaoxiao, it's probably because of his incompetence that he deceived you and deceived our whole family! Just listen to your mother. When you get the divorce letter, your mother will keep your eyes open and choose a good one for you." Lin Qiuniang wiped her tears.

, solemnly warned my daughter.

She had previously wondered why the Holy Emperor and the Queen Mother agreed to the marriage so happily and gave their daughter such a generous dowry. They knew that this boy was not good and were afraid that their family would cause trouble, so they used the benefits to silence them.

Humph, then they made the wrong idea. They never thought about climbing high branches in the first place.

When she thought that all the good things Jing Heng showed were disguised and fake, Lin Qiuniang became more and more angry. She didn't hate him for not being good, but she hated him for deceiving his daughter.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Why do you want Brother Li to divorce me when I'm so good?" Qin Xiaoxiao looked at her mother in disbelief, and couldn't help but wonder if she was possessed by something unclean.

Otherwise it would be difficult to explain what she said.
