My Loyal and Lovely Husband

Dumbfounded, Zheng Xue says with resignation, “Mom, it’s only 10 days.” “Only one-day absence will make me miss you, let alone ten days.” Says Jin Xiaoyan, dragging her son into the room. Hearing the sound, Jin Xiaodie, preparing the dishes, knows that her nephew is coming. Immediately, she picks up the rag and goes out of the room. She sees a young man, tall and slim, stepping into the room along with Jin Xiaoyan. She wears a smile of courtesy, which makes others feel comfortable and warm.

Jin Xiaoyan and Zheng Xue are walking and talking. Jin Xiaoyan expresses how much she misses her son, while Zheng Xue listens to her mother with a bright smile on his face, which forms a really moving scene. Seeing that, Jin Xiaodie feels a little bit sorrowful about her situation. While listening to his mother, Zheng Xue takes a glimpse at a familiar figure — Jin Xiaodie, his younger auntie. Although Zheng Xue is gentle and mild, he still has a negative impression of his younger auntie. Seeing Jin Xiaodie, Zheng Xue frowns and thinks, “How does she come here? Does she come here to make trouble?” Noticing the look of Zheng Xue, Jin Xiaodie takes a few steps and squeezes a smile, saying, “Zheng Xue, my nephew, you come back?”

Hearing the sound of Jin Xiaodie, Jin Xiaoyan realizes that her younger sister is here. Thus, she says, “I’m so happy about you coming back that I forget to tell you that your auntie will live with us for several says because she quarreled with her husband.” Hearing her mother’s explanation, Zheng Xue thinks, “It turns out to be the marital discord. Thus, there’s no need to worry about her living there.” However, sensitive as he is, the words of his mother makes him confused about the reason for her auntie’s running away from home. His younger auntie is so proud that she always looks down upon his family. Even if she has some quarrels with her husband, she will never be willing to go to his home. His suspicion is somewhat displayed in his eyes.

Jin Xiaodie cannot bear that suspicious eyesight. Indeed, she feels so uncomfortable that she has to dodge Zheng Xue’s eyesight. Suddenly, Zheng Xue realizes that he is quite impolite to do that, so he hastens to apologize, “Auntie!” and makes a bow. Knowing that Zheng Xue is the most precious child of Zheng Xiaoyan, Jin Xiaodie reaches out to support him and says, “There’s no need to bow to me, my nephew.” Jin Xiaoyan’s polite words surprise Zheng Xu. “Your auntie is right. You are her nephew. There’s no need to do so.” Says Jin Xiaoyan, smiling and leading her son to the dinning room. Jin Xiaodie also follows them. “It’s noon now. You must be hungry! I prepare an exceedingly good lunch for you.” Says Jin Xiaoyan, unveiling the anti-mosquito yarn.

Various kinds of dishes are presented before Zheng Xue, including colorful vegetable which arouses appetite. “Mom, you prepare so many dishes!” Exclaims Zheng Xue, with an expression of surprise flickering over his face. Then, a feeling of heartache comes over him. He holds Jin Xiaoyan and says, “Mom, you must have been working the whole morning. Are you feeling tired? Let me massage your shoulder.” Seeing that her son is so considerate, Jin Xiaoyan sits down happily. However, Jin Xiaodie watches the harmonious scene with mixed feelings.

Her own son cares for nothing but living a luxurious life. Even though she feels back pain, her son is never willing to take care of her. Zheng Xue starts to massage her mother’s shoulder gently. “How are you doing these days in school?” Asks Jin Xiaoyan, touching her son’s forehead with her callous hand. Life in school is always full of trouble and misery. However, Zheng Xue does not want to mention that. Thus, he says, “very well. Eat well, and sleep well.” “Do you get along well with your classmates?” Asks Jin Xiaoyan. That’s the most important thing for Jin Xiaoyan. Zheng Xue is an gentleman who never meddles in other people’s affairs. Therefore, it is easy for him to get along well with people around him.

Jin Xiaoyan feels happy after hearing that Zheng Xue gets along well with his classmates. Jin Xiaoyan sits aside silently with a stiff smile. She is just like sitting on pins and needles when someone knocks at the door. “Who’s knocking?” asks Jin Xiaoyan. She is about to stand up and go out to open the door when Jin Xiaodie rushes out and says, “my sister. I’ll go.” She rushes out of the dining room and opens the door. A man appears before her. When she focuses her eyes on that figure, she cannot find a word to express her feelings. That man is in his 18 or 19 with a white gown and jade hairpin on his bun, who is so charming and handsome that Jin Xiaoyan cannot move her eyes away from him.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Seeing Zheng Xiaodie, that handsome young man smiles politely and says, “I’m Chengyu, Zheng Xue’s classmate. Today, I am right here to find him.” She cannot believe that her nephew has such an excellent classmate. Absent-minded for a little while, she leads that handsome young man to the dining room and says, “Come in with me.” Stepping into the yard, Chengyu takes a look at the yard for a little while, finding that Zheng Xue’s house is plain, or it can even be said humble with several ducks and chickens at the corner of the small yard, which brings some unpleasant smell when the wind blows.

Even the servant of Cheng Yu has a troubled look on his face, who thinks that how it is possible for his master to come into such a shabby place. “Sir, since we have already brought the gift here, we shall go home now.” Says the servant, respectfully. Clever as Cheng Yu is, he knows what the servant thinks about completely. Thus, he turns around and scolds the servant, “Shut up!” Simple but dignified. Having served him for a long time, they know much about Cheng Yu, their master. Now, they know that their master has already gotten angry and all keep silent fearfully. Hearing the conversation between Cheng Yu and his servants, Jin Xiaodie looks across Cheng Yu and finds that the servants carry two big boxes. It seems that they come here to send gifts.

Jin Xiaodie cannot move her eyes from the two boxes with fine lines. Judging from the delicate patterns on these two dark-red boxes, Jin Xiaodie, with a good taste of fine wares, knows that these two boxes are from Jia Fang Zhai, famous brand of furniture. Each box costs 5 taels of silver. What gifts deserve such expensive boxes?
