Chapter 799 [Mistress of the House 4]
Youyou hurried to the wedding room of Zeng Baoqin and Ren Xuetang. She was holding a bowl of steaming noodles in her hands, with a warm and friendly smile on her face. When she stepped into the room, she saw Zeng Baoqin, who had taken off her veil, and was very beautiful. She hurried forward and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, look, brother really cares about you! I specially asked the servants to prepare this bowl of noodles early. I think you must be very hungry now."
Zeng Baoqin felt a surge of warmth in her heart when she heard this, and she quickly responded with a smile, "Thank you for your thoughtful care, little sister. I was just planning to send Ruyi to get some food to fill my stomach, but I didn't expect you to deliver this delicious food to me so quickly."
Youyou waved her hands repeatedly, signaling Zeng Baoqin not to be polite, and then urged: "Sister-in-law, enjoy it quickly while it's hot."
Zeng Baoqin nodded slightly to show her agreement, and replied, "Well, then I won't be polite to you." After that, she gently picked up the chopsticks and prepared to taste the noodles full of friendship.
At this moment, the door was pushed open again, and Shen Cuixi walked in with an exquisite food box in her hands. She looked up and saw Zeng Baoqin had already started eating noodles. She was stunned at first, then she smiled with relief and said, "Oh, look, I came at such a bad time, but Sister Youyou was very quick and delivered the food to my sister-in-law first."
Hearing this, Youyou winked playfully and replied, "Don't be offended, Sister Cuixi. Since you brought some delicious food, let me have a taste of it too, so that I can enjoy a feast."
Zeng Baoqin readily agreed upon seeing this, saying, "Very good, very good. I won't be polite then and will try some of everything." For a moment, the house was filled with a warm and joyful atmosphere.
After dinner, the three of them sat together, chatting and laughing. Time passed by like a white horse passing by, and before they knew it, the sky had gradually darkened.
At this time, Youyou and Shen Cuixi looked at each other, understood what was going on, stood up, and bowed to Zeng Baoqin to say goodbye together: "Sister Baoqin, it's getting late, the two of us will go back first, so as not to disturb your time alone with your brother-in-law. I estimate that the groom will be back soon, and if we stay here any longer, we will become an eyesore!"
Zeng Baoqin smiled and nodded in agreement, watching the two leave. Sure enough, not long after, Ren Xuetang staggered into the room. His face was flushed and his eyes were blurry, obviously drunk.
When he saw Zeng Baoqin in the room, he was stunned for a moment, then waved away all the servants around him. Then, he stumbled and stumbled towards Zeng Baoqin, and fell headfirst into her arms.
Zeng Baoqin was startled by his sudden action and subconsciously wanted to push him away, but she found that she could not shake the man in front of her at all. In desperation, she could only frown and scolded with disgust: "Husband, look at the alcohol you smell like, it's really bad! How much did you drink? Get up quickly and sober up, don't keep clinging to me like this."
However, Ren Xuetang ignored her words and still held her tightly, refusing to let go. He muttered incoherently, "My wife smells so good, let me kiss her..." Before he finished speaking, he pouted and moved closer to Zeng Baoqin's cheek.
Zeng Baoqin could not easily do what he wanted, and quickly turned her head to avoid him. But she was just a weak woman after all, how could she beat the strong Ren Xuetang in terms of strength? Seeing this, Ren Xuetang became more and more complacent, and took advantage of the situation to pounce forward and pressed Zeng Baoqin down on the bed.
Then, he quickly reached out and pulled up the bed curtain, completely hiding the two of them. In an instant, the only sounds in the room were the woman's shy moans and the man's heavy breathing, intertwined, one after another, so ambiguous...
The next morning, the sun shone through the window into the room, making it bright and warm. However, the two people on the bed were still immersed in a sweet dream. Suddenly, a gentle knock on the door broke the silence, and the voice of the servant came from outside the door: "Master, Madam, it's time to get up and go to the old lady to serve tea!"
Ren Xuetang slowly opened his eyes and saw his wife sleeping peacefully in his arms. Her skin was as white as snow, and her face was still slightly flushed, but the faint red marks on her body were particularly eye-catching. These marks reminded Ren Xuetang of his rough behavior last night, and he couldn't help but feel regretful.
At this moment, Zeng Baoqin also woke up slowly. She frowned slightly and felt a dull pain in her waist. "Oh, my waist..." she murmured softly.
Ren Xuetang quickly leaned over with an apologetic look on his face and said gently, "Madam, it's all my fault. I was too rude last night. Don't be angry. Let me help you massage it." As he spoke, he carefully stretched out his hand, gently placed it on Zeng Baoqin's waist, and then gently kneaded it.
Zeng Baoqin felt her husband's considerate care, and the slight dissatisfaction in her heart gradually dissipated. However, if she let him go so easily, he might return to his old ways in the future. So, she glared at Ren Xuetang and said, "Hubby, in order to prevent you from being ignorant of the seriousness of the matter like yesterday, you are not allowed to touch me today."
When Ren Xuetang heard this, he immediately showed a pitiful look and begged, "Madam, how can this be possible? Besides, you are so beautiful, how can I resist getting close to you?"
Zeng Baoqin was unmoved and said with a stern face, "Stop talking nonsense and get up quickly. It's getting late for tea. If you delay too long, it will be troublesome if you make mother unhappy." After saying that, she pushed Ren Xuetang hard, then quickly got up, put on her clothes, and prepared to get out of bed to wash up.
"Madam, you can rest assured. I will take care of mother. She will never say anything." Ren Xuetang comforted Zeng Baoqin beside him with a confident look.
However, Zeng Baoqin responded worriedly: "Although mother may not criticize you directly, it is already this late, and it is inevitable that some gossip will still arise! You should get up quickly!"
Hearing this, Ren Xuetang showed a helpless expression and muttered, "Okay, okay, I'll get up right away." As he spoke, he slowly sat up from the bed.
After they hurriedly washed up, they headed to Songfeng Hall where Ren's mother lived. Songfeng Hall was crowded with people at this time. It turned out that almost everyone in the Ren family had gathered here, including Chen Yiniang from the second branch of the Ren family, Ren Rufeng, Ren's mother, Youyou, and of course, Shen Cuixi was also there.
Aunt Chen was sharp-eyed. She was immediately annoyed when she saw Ren Xuetang and Zeng Baoqin were late. She couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Oh my, our eldest young master and eldest young mistress are really forgetful. They actually remembered to come and offer tea to the old lady today? Look at what time it is now!"
When Ren's mother, who was sitting in the main seat, heard this, her face instantly darkened and she scolded, "If you don't know how to speak, then shut up! How can you be so rude!"
When Aunt Chen saw that Ren's mother was angry, she knew very well that she was just an concubine of low status, so she dared not say another word. She could only shut her lips obediently and said no more.
At this time, Ren Xuetang hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his fists and bowed to Ren's mother, saying apologetically: "Mother, please calm down. It's all my fault for being unfilial. I have kept you waiting for a long time today. Please punish me."
Mother Ren looked at the newlyweds with a smile on her face and said amiably: "Haha, it's okay, it's okay, you're newlyweds, it's inevitable that young people will indulge in pleasure. I've been through it, so I naturally know the sweetness of it. Baoqin, let me guess, maybe that boy spent too much time last night? But, there's something I have to tell you, men must never let themselves get their way, otherwise, they can really turn the world upside down and tear down the roof of your house!" After saying that, Mother Ren gently patted Zeng Baoqin's hand, her eyes full of pity and teasing.
When Zeng Baoqin heard this, she blushed and lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Thank you...thank you for your teachings, mother." Her delicate and shy appearance was like a blooming peach blossom, which was very lovable.
At this time, the maid Ziyun standing beside Ren's mother gently reminded her: "Madam, you can start serving tea." So Zeng Baoqin and Ren Xuetang hurriedly knelt on the ground, their movements were uniform and they looked extremely respectful. Zeng Baoqin carefully picked up a cup of steaming hot fragrant tea, and handed the cup to Ren's mother with both hands, and said softly: "Daughter-in-law, please have some tea, mother."
Mother Ren took the teacup with a smile, blew away the foam on the surface, and then took a sip gracefully. After putting down the teacup, she looked at Zeng Baoqin lovingly and said slowly: "Good child, I hope that you two can love each other in the future, support each other, go through every spring, summer, autumn and winter hand in hand, and stay together until you are old."
Zeng Baoqin nodded quickly and said, "Thank you for your kind words, mother. I will keep them in mind."
Then, Mother Ren took off a crystal clear jade bracelet from her wrist. The bracelet was warm and smooth, and it was obviously a treasure that had been accumulated over the years. She put the bracelet on Zeng Baoqin's slender wrist and said, "This was my dowry when I got married. Now I give it to you as a testimony to the friendship between us. May it bless you with peace, success, and happiness."
Zeng Baoqin touched the bracelet on her wrist with great joy and said gratefully again: "Thank you, mother. I will cherish this gift."
Then, Mother Ren turned to look at her son Ren Xuetang and urged him with a smile, "Okay, Xuetang, take your wife to meet the elders at home and let her get familiar with our big family as soon as possible."
Ren Xuetang quickly responded, "Yes, mother, don't worry, I will take Baoqin there right away." As he said that, he stood up and helped Zeng Baoqin up.
Then, Ren Xuetang took Zeng Baoqin to introduce the surrounding Ren family members one by one.
Zeng Baoqin also ordered Ruyi to give gifts to her peers one by one.
