Chapter 934 Preference and Exceptions
Waking up late in the morning really made Shi Li confused for a while.
Plus, after getting married, you even have to comb your hair differently, which takes a lot of time.
Several maids in the room also worked with her.
Until Cheng Xi pushed the door and walked in.
Seeing a room full of masters and servants running around like headless flies, Cheng Xi was slightly stunned, then laughed helplessly.
He guessed what Shi Li was worried about, and walked over and patted her shoulder gently.
"It's my fault. I forgot to tell you that your mother is always weak and can't get up early, so you don't have to go to see her too early."
Shi Li was putting a jade hairpin on her head. Upon hearing this, she turned around and looked at Cheng Xi in confusion, obviously not believing what he said.
The original owner remembered that he had seen Cheng's mother several times and she always looked healthy with rosy complexion. How come she was so weak now?
But Cheng Xi would never joke about his mother's health.
The expression of disbelief on her face was too obvious. Cheng Xi touched his nose, took the jade hairpin, chose a position for her and put it on her head.
"You will know what I said is true when you see your mother later. There is no need to rush."
As he spoke, Cheng Xi looked up at the sky outside the window and estimated, "It will take at least a quarter of an hour before Mother can get up. There's still enough time."
Shi Li was half-believing and half-doubting, but there was no point in being anxious at the moment. She tidied herself up and stood up. She saw Cheng Xi waiting at the door, extending a hand to her.
"Come on, I'll go with you." The boy's voice was clear, and revealed a maturity that was inconsistent with his age.
Shi Li met his eyes, was stunned for a moment, then nodded and put her hand on him.
The young girl, wearing a bright red dress, looks like a flower blooming in the warm spring, exuding a refreshing and refreshing fragrance.
Cheng Xi gently held Shi Li's hand, turned around and walked out, just enough to hide the unconscious smile on the corner of his lips.
He is Lili's husband, and he must always show his most calm side in front of her and never let her feel that he is unreliable.
Although the Cheng family has not yet achieved a dynasty, their ancestors were once dukes and prime ministers, and their family is wealthy and powerful.
Shi Li had just arrived, and followed Cheng Xi obediently, walking through the winding corridors and passing through several archways. She felt that she could hardly remember the way, and then she saw Cheng Xi stop in front of a courtyard.
Shi Li also stopped and saw a smiling aunt in charge walking out of the yard. When she saw her, she smiled and nodded in greeting.
"The Second Young Master and Young Madam arrived early, and Madam just got up. Please follow me in and wait for a moment."
Unexpectedly, Cheng's mother really didn't get up early. Shi Li's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she continued to pretend to be well-behaved and walked into the yard.
She and Cheng Xi were arranged to wait in the front. As soon as they sat down, two maids brought two cups of warm milk and a plate of snacks and placed them on the table.
"Madam said that she might be late, so let the Second Young Master and the Young Madam have tea and snacks first."
While speaking, the aunt looked at Shi Li deliberately, as if afraid that she might not understand what she meant. She also signaled Shi Li with her eyes to take the snacks from the plate.
[Isn’t this mother-in-law too nice? She doesn’t let me get up early, but she also arranges food and drink for me. I want it~]
[Humph! If Gongsun hadn't taken over the magpie's nest, the one who came here to see the mother-in-law today should have been Princess Jing! ]
[I see a shaman upstairs? Even if there is no Gongsun, your Princess Jing can't marry into the Cheng family at this time. What are you thinking? ]
No matter what time it is, the barrage can always start a quarrel, which is really admirable.
Shi Li ignored the comments and smiled at her aunt's kindness. Then she picked up a piece of dessert and started eating it in small bites.
Cheng Xi sat next to her and brought the teacup to her lips.
But he didn't actually drink a single sip.
He has disliked cow's milk since he was a child, and his mother knew this. Now, by making this arrangement, she actually regards the new daughter-in-law as more important than her own son.
Thinking of this, Cheng Xi curled his lips again.
