Chapter 191

The next day.

When Qiao Nian went out, Xiao He was already waiting in the yard.

Today, the newlyweds should serve tea to Father Xiao and Mother Xiao.

Seeing Xiao He, Qiao Nian thought of the wailing sound last night and his painful expression.

But later, she stood outside Xiao He's door for a while and didn't hear the wailing sound again.

In addition, Xiao He didn't want to admit that he was the one who made the wailing sound. Naturally, Qiao Nian didn't want to ask in detail. She immediately suppressed her inner worries and went up to him, "Brother Xiao."

Xiao He's face was not as pale as last night, but he looked a little weak.

Hearing Qiao Nian's voice, he turned to look at her with a gentle smile on his lips, which was very different from his indifferent look last night. He just said, "Did you sleep well?"

"Well, I slept well." Qiao Nian responded softly, pretending that nothing happened last night.

Xiao He nodded slightly and said, "Let's go then. Don't ask your parents to wait."

"Okay." Qiao Nian responded, walked around behind Xiao He, and pushed the wheelchair out.

When they arrived at the hall, Xiao's father, Xiao's mother, Xiao Heng and Lin Yuan were already there.

Xiao Heng's eyes were cold, sitting aside with a cup of tea in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

When he saw Qiao Nian, his expression was calm, but there was nothing unusual about him.

However, Qiao Nian couldn't help but frown when thinking of the figure on the tree last night.

Lin Yuan, on the other hand, glanced at Qiao Nian lightly, then withdrew her gaze and sat next to Xiao Heng without saying a word, just like a little daughter-in-law.

Father Xiao and Mother Xiao's eyes turned red the moment they saw Xiao He, "He'er..."

Xiao He didn't go out all year round. They thought he wouldn't come to serve tea today, but they didn't expect that Xiao He was willing to come out.

This must be because of Qiao Nian!

For a time, the two elders fell in love with Qiao Nian again.

In contrast, Xiao He was much calmer. Ever since he was injured, his parents always looked apologetically when they saw him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable for no reason. His tone became much colder at that moment, "I'm thinking of you." Come and serve tea to the two elders."

A single thought sounded extremely cordial.

So much so that Xiao Heng's face darkened unconsciously and he looked at the two of them with gloomy eyes.

Sensing Xiao Heng's eyes, Xiao He looked over openly, and then nodded slightly as a greeting.

Xiao Heng was so angry that when he looked away, the air pressure around him became frighteningly low.

Lin Yuan seemed to be aware of Xiao Heng's expression, so she lowered her head even lower, tears welling up in her eyes.

But at this moment, no one cares about her.

Father Xiao and Mother Xiao nodded happily. They didn't care at all about how Qiao Nian almost ruined the worship ceremony yesterday. They just sat more upright than the other.

Qiao Nian pushed Xiao He to the center of the hall, then knelt down next to Xiao He, took the hot tea sent by the servant, bowed respectfully to Xiao's father and Xiao's mother, and said, "Father, mother, Please have tea."

The two elders took it, took a sip happily, and then gave out their respective greeting gifts.

A jade pendant and a gold pendant.

"Thank you, Mom and Dad." Qiao Nian bowed softly, then stood up and pushed Xiao He aside.

Xiao Heng and Lin Yuan then stepped forward and saluted the two elders and offered tea.

The meeting gift given by the two elders was also the same. Lin Yuan thanked her softly and stood up after receiving the meeting gift.

But unexpectedly, another cup of hot tea was delivered to her.

She was stunned, hadn't they already served tea?

Just listen to Xiao's mother say, "Yuan'er doesn't know something. This is the rule of our Xiao family. You should also offer a cup of tea to your eldest brother and sister-in-law."

oh?

And this rule?

Qiao Nian stared at the top of her shoes, but her eyebrows were raised unconsciously.

Then she was somewhat looking forward to how Xiao Heng would salute and serve tea to her.

Even Ningshuang, who was standing behind Qiao Nian, couldn't help lowering her head and covering her mouth with her little hand for fear of laughing out loud.

On the other side, Xiao Qingnuan's eyes fell on Qiao Nian's face. In a daze, she seemed to see Qiao Nian three years ago.

A lively Qiao Nian who can't hide her little thoughts.

However, this is too obvious.

Xiao Qingnuan couldn't help coughing slightly, and then said, "Yes, I will have to serve tea to my two brothers and two sisters-in-law soon!"

When Qiao Nian heard this, she looked towards Xiao Qingnuan and saw that the latter's eyebrows were slightly lowered and he was looking at her with a clear warning.

Qiao Nian knew that she had indeed gotten carried away just now.

However, when someone like Xiao Heng, who has always been aloof, arrogant and aloof, wanted to serve her tea, it was really hard for her not to laugh.

Over there, Lin Yuan had already received the tea cup from the maid.

Even though there were ten thousand reluctances in her heart, since Mother Xiao said it was a rule, she naturally couldn't break it.

Xiao Heng's face was gloomy, but he still took the tea cup, and then knelt in front of Xiao He, "Brother, drink tea."

Seeing that Xiao Heng was only willing to kneel to Xiao He and was not even willing to call out "sister-in-law", Qiao Nian was quite disappointed.

Lin Yuan knelt in front of her and spoke softly, "Sister, drink tea."

Xiao He took it and drank it.

Qiao Nian didn't answer. She just smiled gently at Lin Yuan and said, "Wrong call."

She would never admit that Lin Yuan belonged to her sister.

Lin Yuan's expression froze, and she subconsciously glanced at Xiao's father and Xiao's mother. Seeing that the latter had no intention of speaking out and taking sides, she could only bite the bullet and call out again, "Sister-in-law, please drink tea."

Qiao Nian then took it with satisfaction and drank a sip.

Xiao Qingnuan followed and came forward to pay her respects.

But Qiao Nian noticed that a nanny quietly walked to Xiao's mother and took out two small wooden boxes.

She had seen one of the wooden boxes before.

Nanny Su also told her before getting married, so she put the wedding veil on the bed into it before going to bed yesterday.

The other wooden box, needless to say, belonged to Lin Yuan.

Xiao's mother obviously knew that Xiao He could not have anything with Qiao Nian, and she did not react when she saw the spotless wedding veil in the box.

But when the nanny opened Lin Yuan's wooden box, Xiao's mother's face immediately darkened.

Her sharp eyes immediately looked at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan seemed to realize something, and hurriedly lowered her head with an ugly face.

Qiao Nian watched this scene silently, without showing any emotion on her face, but...

She guessed that Lin Yuan's wedding veil should also be clean.

But, why?

Xiao Heng is obviously capable...

Qiao Nian's mind suddenly sank as the figure on the sycamore tree last night reappeared in her mind.

Could it be that Xiao Heng abandoned Lin Yuan on the wedding night and stood in his eldest brother's yard all night?

She subconsciously looked at Xiao Heng, but saw that the latter was also looking at her, with a burning heat hidden in his eyes, which made Qiao Nian shiver.

Qiao Nian thought, Xiao Heng must be crazy!
