Chapter 1463: 1463 bowing to father-in-law

Su Dashui’s wife, Su Qin, also eagerly pulled out a chair, “Son-in-law, it’s only been a short while since I last saw you, and you’ve become even more handsome. The more I, your mother-in-law, look at you, the more I like you.”

“I, Su Dashui, could have never dreamed that my son-in-law would be the legitimate child from a first-class family.” Su Dashui’s pudgy face was filled with emotion, “My Yue’er is blessed indeed. To think, my Su Family is but a mere speck of a commoner’s household, and Yue’er has married into the Xiao Family — truly the merit of my ancestors. I don’t know in which life I, Su Dashui, must have burned incense for several generations.”

A face reeking of flattery and subservience.

The Xiao Chonghuan couple looked on, disgusted. Lowly peasants would always be lowly peasants, truly believing they could connect with the Xiao Clan. Despite their inner contempt, the couple still wore harmonious smiles on their faces.

“Hardly, hardly,” said Shen Yun, adept at social interactions, “Yue’er is beautiful and intelligent, and exceedingly filial. Chuan’er is lucky to marry Yue’er as well.”

“Lady Xiao is too kind.” Su Qin hurriedly said, “My Yue’er is nothing but a wild maid. To say nothing of being the main wife of the heir of the Xiao Family, even if she could be a concubine or serve in that capacity, she would not achieve it in ten lifetimes.”

In an instant, Su Qingyue’s status, which could have been on par with Xiao Yuchuan’s, was demeaned to the dust.

Shen Yun felt truly at ease upon hearing this, “Mother-in-law, rest assured, even if Yue’er’s status is low, I am very fond of her and will certainly love her as dearly as my own daughter.”

“I really must thank Lady Xiao,” said Su Qin, her dark, plump face stretching into a wide smile.

Su Qingyue had already been listening at the entrance to the hall for a little while. Su Qin hastily went to greet her, “Daughter, how come you haven’t come to greet your father-in-law and grandma after arriving at the living room? Hurry and pay your respects!”

Just as she tried to grab her wrist, she met Su Qingyue’s icy gaze and unaccountably didn’t dare to touch her. So she just said, “Yue’er, you little maid. Your mom knows you’re angry at me. Mad that from the time you were little, your father and I sold you off. I really didn’t want to, back then, it was all because we were deceived by that Fortune Teller in the martial world into thinking you were a jinx. Had I known you could marry into the Xiao Family, I would have cherished you. There’s no overnight enmity between mother and child — you’re my own dear daughter, and it’s not important if you can’t forgive me for the moment. In the presence of Master Xiao and Lady Xiao, you must not fail to show the proper respect.”

“Die, old granny, get lost!” Su Qingyue listened to Su Qin’s incessant chatter with impatience flashing in her eyes, “I’ve already told you, you and Su Dashui are not my Father and Mother.”

Su Qin’s face turned the color of vegetables, and Shen Yun hurriedly tried to smooth things over, “Mother-in-law, don’t take offense with Yue’er, a younger family member. She’s just still holding a grudge against you. The master has already had it thoroughly investigated, and it’s clear; Su Qingyue is indeed the daughter you sold away, no doubt about it.”

“Really?” Su Qin’s eyes lit up, not so much with happiness as with the greed that appeared at the sight of endless gold.

As long as her daughter was truly married to Xiao Yuchuan, then she, as the mother-in-law, could bask in a lifetime of endless glory and riches.

“Would I deceive you?” Shen Yun asked Xiao Chonghuan, “Master, isn’t that right?”

He nodded.

Seeing Xiao Chonghuan nod, the Su couple was convinced that Su Qingyue was definitely their daughter. Thus, the attitude of in-laws began to emerge.

Su Dashui, hands behind his back, said, “Chuan’er, Yue’er is just naive because she is too young. After all, I am your father-in-law, and you should come and bow to me.”

The Xiao couple was taken aback, thinking to themselves that Su Dashui truly did not know his place.

Before her husband could react, Su Qin quickly tugged at him, “What are you doing? The heir of the Xiao Family bowing to you, can you bear such an honor?”
