LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 482
“Mother, you’re going to scare Xiao Jiu if you keep crying.” Madam Wei chimed in. “Today is a good day!”
Lord Wei nodded, as he stroked his beard with a smile while looking at Qin Jiu with a loving expression on his face.
“Alright.” Old Madam Wei stopped crying, but her eyes were still a little red, and her gaze was still glued to Qin Jiu’s face as she rambled. “Really similar to Ji’er, your eyes and nose are especially like your mother, your mouth is like your father and ears like your maternal uncle. No wonder they say that a niece resembles uncles…”
Old Madam Wei looked very excited, as she said whatever came to her mind.
Meanwhile, Old Madam Qin slowly picked the floating leaves on the tea with the tea lid on the side, feeling that her in-laws were old, and their eyesight was not good. Her Jiu’er looks like his son, especially her eyes and nose, which were simply carved from the same mold.
“Mother,” Madam Wei called out smilingly to Old Madam Wei. “Jiu’er’s skin is fair as jade just like her mother’s, all the jewelry I picked out for her was chosen with her mother in mind, it will look good on her.”
Saying that, she beckoned Qin Jiu and took a heavy box from one of their maidservants and stuffed it into Qin Jiu’s hands with a smile. “Jiu’er, this is an additional gift from your maternal aunt and maternal uncle!”
The Wei family came here specifically for Qin Jiu’s wedding, setting off from Jiangnan very early.
Originally, Lord Wei and Madam Wei did not intend to bring Old Madam Wei, after all, Old Madam Wei was already old but she insisted on going with them, saying she wanted to meet her granddaughter.
The couple could not turn down the old madam, and so they had no choice but to take her with them. In order to avoid making the journey too laborious, they journeyed for more than half a month.
Qin Jiu happily and naturally thanked Lord and Madam Wei. The hall was very lively and bustling with joyous noise as everyone’s faces were filled with brilliant smiles.
After another cup of tea, Qin Zening hurriedly asked to be excused and rushed back from the Shenshu Camp.
He had not seen his maternal grandmother, uncle, or aunt for several years, so everyone welcomed him. As they were talking, Old Madam Wei shifted the topic to Qin Jiu, saying that fortunately, Qin Zening had found his sister.
Meanwhile, Qin Zeyu, who served the guests on the side, felt secretly relieved. He thought that having his sister was good, before as the youngest his maternal grandmother and aunt would always rub and pinched him around, but now, he has his sister to take his place! He used to be just a little kid, but he was now all grown up and a man, so what would he look like if he was still being touched and pinched all the time!
With these thoughts, Qin Zeyu happily picked a piece of chestnut pastry to eat but before he could take a bite, Old Madam Wei asked. “Qin Xin…how is she doing now?”
Qin Zeyu lowered his gaze as he took a bite of the chestnut pastry that smelled fragrant and tasted sweet and crispy.
Qin Zening did not cover up for Qin Xin, and told everything that happened in the past few months, including her instigation of Madam Su to poison Old Madam Qin, as well as murdering the late Marquis Xin Xun…
The more Old Madam Wei listened the angrier she became, her lips trembled slightly with fury as she quivered. “Shameless!”
How could there be such shameless people in this world!
