My Loyal and Lovely Husband

Listening to her sister’s words, Jin Xiaoyan hurriedly says, “Right, right! Sit down for dinner please, Mr. Cheng. ”

Although Cheng Yu is a friend of Zheng Xue, and it is normal for him to have dinner here. But if he does, he may cause some unnecessary troubles.

His eyes glance at Jin Xiaodie again, and then he turns to Jin Xiaoyan and says with a smile: “Thank you for your hospitality, but I have something to deal with at home. I’ll taste your cooking next time.”

If he is someone else, Jin Xiaoyan will persuade him to stay again. But Cheng Yu, although she can’t guess his background clearly, she can feel he is different.

Fearing for being ridiculed by her son in the future, Jin Xiaoyan pretends to be reasonable and answers: “Since you have something to deal with, then go back as soon as possible. But you must try my cooking next time.”

Cheng Yu agrees with a smile and walks to the door with Zheng Xue.

Standing beside the carriage, Cheng Yu lifts the curtain of the carriage, turns around and says, “Don’t say anything about my visit when you back to the Academy…”

Zheng Xue nods and laughs, “Don’t worry. I know.”

In the Academy, everyone tries to curry favor with Cheng Yu. Many people follow him every day. However, there is a strange phenomenon. If someone becomes a friend with Cheng Yu and keeps a close relationship with him, he will be quickly isolated by other students. This happened before, but Chengyu’s relationship with that person is not good enough, so he doesn’t care too much.

Later, he talked with Zheng Xue by chance. Although the family backgrounds of the two people are very different, the more they talked, the closer they got. In order to avoid the previous event happening again, and with a determination to protect Zheng Xue, Cheng Yu dares not to keep a close relation with Zheng Xue in the Academy. In addition, Cheng Yu has to express congratulation quietly in private.

Cheng Yu smiles and touches his nose.

It’s ridiculous to make their friendship look like a love affair between man and woman. However, such a situation should also be temporary. In the future, when Zheng Xue wins the first place on the imperial examination, he may become the one to be flattered.

“Don’t see me off. Your mother is waiting for you to go back for dinner.” Cheng Yu pats Zheng Xue on the shoulder. “If it were not for your guests, I would like to stay and eat together.”

Cheng Yu says, glancing inside.

Although Zheng Xue doesn’t know too much about his aunt, he knows Cheng Yu. Seeing Cheng’s behavior, he knows that Cheng doesn’t like his aunt. Otherwise, he won’t stand for such a short time and leaves. As for his aunt, she is originally a conformist. Cheng Yu hates other people flatter him for his family background.

“Don’t worry, I won’t say anything.” Zheng Xue quickly says.

“Bah!”, Cheng Yu says, “Don’t say that as if I am afraid you talk nonsense and deliberately stop you talking here.”

Zheng Xue also smiles and pushes him: “Why are you talking nonsense here? Hurry up. I’m going to have dinner!”

Cheng Yu laughs and gets on the carriage and leaves.

After Cheng Yu laves, Zheng Xue and his family return to the hall.

Jin Xiaodie sits on the left side of Jin Xiaoyan, while Zheng Xue sits on the right side of his mother.

“My Son, you look thinner after you have been at the Academy for a few days. Come and eat.” She picks up a piece of braised pork and puts it into Zheng Xue’s bowl.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Under mother’s keen eyes, Zheng Xue picks up the piece of braised pork and eats it. He chews it, and his eyes brighten slightly. He holds out his thumb and praises: “Mother, the meat is fat but not greasy, sweet and slightly salty. It’s too delicious!”

Hearing Zheng Xue’s praise, Jin Xiaoyan feels very happy, and she cannot close her mouth but laughs. She quickly picks up another piece of braised pork: “Eat more if you like.”

From the beginning to the end, Jin Xiaodie doesn’t say a word. She only picks up a piece of cucumber and stuffs it into her mouth. Although she is eating, she seems to have something on her mind.

After taking good care of her son, Xiaoyan notices her sister and asks: “Sister, why do you only eat vegetables? What’s good about the cucumbers? Come on! Let’s try the chicken soup. ”

Then, she goes into the kitchen to take the chicken soup.

There are only Zheng Xue and Jin Xiaodie at the table.

Jin Xiaodie takes some of vegetable dish. She wants to eat it but finds it hard to swallow. She simply puts it down.

Keeping silent for a while, she hesitates, squeezing out a smile, and asks: “Zheng Xue, can I ask you something?”

As expected, Zheng Xuexin sighs in heart.

“My aunt, what do you want to know?” Zheng Xue looks up at Jin Xiaodie, and his expression is as gentle and polite as ever.

Jin Xiaodie feels it hard and shameful to ask. If she asks only for curiosity, it will be OK. But now she asks for her evil idea, so she asks with a pronounced stutter, “You, You… ”

Zheng Xue listens patiently. With a voice coming from the kitchen, Jin Xiaoyan is about to come back with a bowl of chicken soup.

In a hurry, Jin Xiaodie breathes out and simply speaks out: “That Mr. Cheng, who came here just now, is he from the richest family in Linshui county?”

It has long been expected that Jin Xiaodie will inquire about Cheng Yu. Zheng Xue can read her mind without much thinking, and his aunt inquires either for Cheng Yu’s power or for Cheng Yu’s money.

His aunt lives in his house in an abnormal way. What happened in her house should not be as simple as a quarrel. His good friend Cheng Yu is a person as elegant as Bamboo. He won’t let Cheng Yu get involved in the troubles of his aunt.

“I don’t know too much about Cheng Yu. He is just one of my classmates…”

Jin Xiaodie immediately continues, ” If he is only your classmate, how could he send you such a valuable gift?”

Zheng Xue pretends to know nothing and answers: “What is the valuable gift? They are just some ink, paper and inkstone? ”

Jin Xiaodie believes that Zheng Xue really knows nothing about the valuable gift, so immediately she despises her sister’s family again in heart, and then pretends to be painful and says: “My silly child, those are…”

However, after thinking, she decides not to say the words at the tip of her tongue. Then she smiles and says, “even if it’s not valuable, it represents his friendship with you. How can you say he is only your classmate?”

Zheng Xue chuckles in his heart. His aunt is not as friendly as she seems to be. Her mother takes care of her, but she is still making a plan for herself. Even she recognizes those valuable things, she doesn’t want to tell him.

Then he can’t tell her the truth in return.

“I’m really not familiar with him. He is a friendly person and has a wide circle of friends. He’s friendly to everyone. As for his family, I don’t know about that, but I’ve heard that he’s not a native…”

Zheng Xue thinks that if he claims that he knows nothing, Jin Xiaodie would not believe it, so he just fools her.

As expected, with such an ambiguous answer, Jin Xiaodie is a little confused. She opens her mouth and doesn’t know what to say next.

“What are you two talking about?” Jin Xiaoyan comes in with a bowl of chicken soup.
