Chapter 10 The ugly daughter-in-law meets her parents-in-law

When Su Xianye woke up, she found herself unable to move. When she saw her newlywed husband who was not sleeping well, she panicked and realized that she had gotten married yesterday.

Because her husband's hands and feet were on her body, his handsome and flawless face was facing her sideways, and a few drops of crystal clear saliva hung on the edges of his slightly open mouth, sparkling with a faint light like a string of pearls.

Su Xianye's slightly fair face was slightly flushed, and her eyes were shining brightly.

At the same time, she was very grateful to her husband, thanking him for not despising her ugly face and sleeping in the same bed with her. She knew that her husband was afraid that she would be looked down upon by the servants in the future, so he kept her for one night. This was also a way to give her dignity.

She stared at the man in front of her infatuatedly, and swore secretly in her heart that from now on, he would be the most important person to her, and she would listen to him in everything.

Because it was he who pulled her out of the abyss, giving her a chance to breathe in that suffocating village.

She kept staring at this handsome face until Lu Zhanxing's eyelashes trembled slightly, he opened his eyes, and then saw the unfamiliar face in front of him. His brain froze for a moment, and it took him a while to remember, oh, I got married yesterday.

This was his wife, Su Xianye, and he felt embarrassed to see that his hands and feet were resting on her.

"Morning, ma'am!"

"Good morning, husband...sir..." Su Xianye was caught peeking and her face turned red with shame. She responded in panic.

Lu Zhanxing sat up straight and stretched.

Then he stood up calmly and looked outside the door: "Someone is coming."

Soon, Xiulan and Liuxu, who had been waiting for a long time, pushed the door open and came in. One helped Su Xianye change clothes, and the other helped Lu Zhanxing change clothes.

Lu Zhanxing said to Xiulan, "Xiulan, you will stay by my side and serve my wife from now on. Go find Manager Yu and ask him to ask the pawnbroker to send some maids over so that my wife can choose a few more servants."

"Yes, young master." Xiulan responded respectfully.

Afterwards, Lu Zhanxing said to Su Xianye, "Liu Xu, you should have met her. She is my maid. She has a gentle personality and is kind to others. You can always look for her if you have any problems in the future."

Liu Xu and Xiu Lan grew up with him, so they knew that they were daughters. Moreover, Liu Xu knew medicine and was specialized in taking care of Lu Zhanxing's body. In order to prevent the outside world from knowing that he couldn't have sex, he deliberately told the outside world that Liu Xu was his concubine.

Otherwise, if he often frequented brothels but did not even have a concubine, he would definitely be suspected. With Liu Xu helping him cover up, naturally no one would believe that he was not interested in women.

Xiulan was her personal maid, responsible for the management of Liuliyuan.

Lu Zhanxing was very fortunate to have strict family rules that stated that one could take a concubine only if he was childless after the age of 40. Otherwise, he would have to arrange for several concubines, which was scary just thinking about.

When Su Xianye heard the word "maid", she was surprised. She didn't expect that Liu Xu, who brought her food last night, was her husband's maid. However, she had long learned to observe people's expressions and naturally felt that Liu Xu had no hostility towards her, so she agreed after being surprised.

Liu Xu smiled and joked: "Madam, if you have any questions, you can come to me. Even if you want to know my preferences, I will tell you everything I know!"

She knew that the young master was a girl, so she felt sorry for Su Xianye and couldn't get true love between men and women. But she also felt that Su Xianye was lucky, because she couldn't marry into a good family with her disfigured face. Marrying a nobleman from a wealthy family like the young master would mean never having to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life, which is something that others can only encounter but not seek in their lifetime.

Su Xianye's face turned slightly red and she glanced at her husband secretly. Lu Zhanxing happened to look over and their eyes met. She quickly lowered her head shyly.

Lu Zhanxing put on his clothes and patted Liu Xu's little hand: "Your wife is shy, don't take advantage of the fact that I love you and disrespect your elders."

Liu Xu blushed and glanced at him: "Yes, yes, I will serve the Madam well. Is the Master satisfied?"

"loquacious!"

Lu Zhanxing pinched her pretty face.

This action made Liu Xu stunned for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Although the young master would flirt with me in the past, he always did it for outsiders to see.

So it's rare to be as intimate as it is today.

I don’t know why, but the young master seems to be more charming after marriage.

Lu Zhanxing had no idea that his casual action moved Liu Xu.

He said to Su Xianye, who was sitting in front of the dressing table and letting Xiulan do her makeup, "If this girl bullies you in the future, just tell your husband and I will definitely take revenge on you. And Xiulan, you came from my Liuli Courtyard, so don't let anyone bully your wife, understand?"

Xiulan helped Su Xianye comb her hair: "Don't worry, Master, I will definitely protect the Madam."

Facing Lu Zhanxing's protective tone, Su Xianye's heart was warmed. She had never dared to imagine such a warm scene before.

Until this moment, she thought it was just a dream.

She changed into a red spring dress and tied her hair into a bun. She put some makeup on her slightly flawed face, but the scar on her face was still difficult to hide.

Lu Zhanxing suddenly thought of a kind of bangs called princess cut, so he asked Xiulan to leave a small tuft of hair on both sides, and then roll up the ends of that tuft of hair, leaving the rest of the hair curled next to the cheeks. This hairstyle can cover most of the scar.

Xiulan's eyes lit up and she smiled, "Wow, Master is so amazing. This way, the scar is covered up, and the hairstyle looks better, making the face look smaller and more attractive. Wow, Madam is so beautiful."

Su Xianye looked at herself through the bronze mirror, and she seemed to have never expected that she would have such a beautiful day.

Lu Zhanxing patted her shoulder and said, "Madam, you are very beautiful. Don't feel inferior. If anyone dares to say you are ugly, I will help you poke his eyes out."

"Pfft!"

Su Xianye couldn't help laughing out loud, she was full of gratitude to Lu Zhanxing, her eyes were red: "Husband, you are so kind!"

Over the years, perhaps the only thing she was grateful to her ruthless father for was marrying her to her husband.

On the second day after her marriage, the bride must kowtow and offer tea to the elders of her husband's family. She also shows respect for the elders by dressing up.

After packing up, the two of them went to Mo Yun Hall, the old Duke's courtyard.

The old Duke knew that today was the day for a newlywed couple to have tea, and he felt guilty towards his little grandson, so even though he was not feeling well, he insisted on asking the maid to change him into a festive outfit, and then sat in the main seat in the main hall and waited.

Lu Zhanyan stood next to the old Duke and did not take a seat.

Lu Jin and his wife also sat aside, looking forward to it, and praying in their hearts that the daughter-in-law would not be too ugly.

On the way, Lu Zhanxing felt that Su Xianye was a little nervous, so he held her hand and went in together, which eased Su Xianye's nervous expression a lot.

When Chief Steward Yu saw the newlyweds at the door, he smiled and bowed, "Greetings to the Second Young Master and his wife. The Duke and his wife are already waiting. Please come in."

Su Xianye quickly pulled her hand away from Lu Zhanxing to avoid leaving an indecent impression on her husband's family.

Then, feeling uneasy, Lu Zhanxing followed in...
