RPAGF Chapter 267 The next day
Chapter 267 The next day
The next day, early in the morning.
The morning light streamed gently through the carved window lattice onto the bed.
Lin Shu woke up on time and immediately felt an unmissable gaze upon her.
Looking down, she saw Ji Heng staring intently at her with his clear, light brown deer eyes.
Lin Shu smiled slightly and gently brushed away the messy strands of hair from Ji Heng's forehead.
"Awake?" Her voice was hoarse from just waking up, adding a touch of tenderness to the quiet morning.
Ji Heng's cheeks flushed red as memories of the previous night flooded his mind. He turned his head away shyly, no longer having the courage he had when he had been peeking.
Seeing this, Lin Shu mischievously patted his pert, bare buttocks.
That being said, it's not usually noticeable that my new husband has such a great physique—broad shoulders, narrow waist, and a full, powerful bottom. He's definitely a top-tier man!
Of course, Lin Shu wouldn't say these things aloud. Given Ji Heng's personality, he would probably find it impolite and lacking in decorum...
Before the other party could become angry, Lin Shu nimbly got out of bed, and while dressing herself without any attempt to hide it, she said considerately:
"You worked hard last night, get some more sleep."
As expected, Ji Heng was diverted from the topic and stood up with Lin Shu, shaking his head and saying, "No, I still need to offer tea to my parents and brothers."
He didn't want to be impolite on their first meeting.
Lin Shu wanted to say that the Lin family didn't care about these things, but seeing how old-fashioned he was, she didn't say anything in the end and just silently accompanied him as he got ready.
After the two finished washing up, Lin Shu accompanied him to Xue Wen's courtyard. Since Lin Shu got married yesterday, she was afraid that the groom would worry if he wasn't there, so Xue Wen stayed at the Lin residence.
As for Ling Huanan, she wanted to stay, but Lin Shu, her 'good daughter,' wouldn't allow it.
Outside Xuewen Academy.
Ji Heng suppressed the slight nervousness in his heart and followed Lin Shu's light steps into the room.
Inside the house, Zhu Yu and Xue Wen, along with their four husbands, were all present. Even Feng Yu, who always loved to sleep in, had come. The room was filled with laughter and joy.
Seeing the two blue figures entering hand in hand at the door, Xue Wen, still holding Ling Yi, was somewhat stunned, wondering: Why are they up so early? Could it be that Shu'er is not doing well?
Thinking it over, Xue Wen looked at Lin Shu with a complicated expression, but seeing Lin Shu's smug look, he felt it didn't seem right...
"Father? Father?..." Lin Shu frowned and called out several times but received no response. She looked at her father with some confusion, wondering what he was thinking. His eyes looked strange.
In the end, it was the little Lingyi in his arms waving its tiny hands toward Lin Shu that pulled Xue Wen back to reality.
He gave a slightly awkward smile, then looked at the refined and handsome Ji Heng: "Zhen Jun! You're here so early? Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
Ji Heng was taken aback, glancing subtly at the rising sun outside, somewhat puzzled. Was it too late? But he said, "It's my first day here, how can I keep Father and my brothers waiting?"
Afterwards, Lin Shu led him to offer tea and introduce him to others. In reality, it was just a formality. The Lin family had a small population, and Ji Heng had already spent time with several husbands, so it was just a formality.
"Good boy, don't stand, sit down, sit down." Xue Wen's eyes were smiling, and his expression was sincere. Ji Heng was infected by his sincerity, and his upright posture unconsciously relaxed.
Su Mu happened to be sitting next to him. Seeing him sit down, he leaned over and said gently, "Brother Heng, you can relax at home."
“Yes, Brother Heng! At home, you can address me however you like. I’m the youngest, so you can just call me A-Yu.” Feng Yu, sitting on the other side of Ji Heng, said while stuffing tea and snacks into her mouth.
Ji Heng nodded. Although he had interacted with the group before, that was before he married into the family. Now that he was married in, seeing that Su Mu and the others still treated him the same, he was finally relieved. He had been judging them by his own petty standards!
"Okay, thank you, brother, thank you, Ayu." Ji Heng smiled sincerely.
Seeing her husband getting along so well, Lin Shu felt quite pleased and unconsciously became more talkative. She then looked at Xue Wen with a smile and asked:
"I heard Father's laughter from afar. Could it be that there is more good news?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Wen exchanged a glance with Su Mu, then chuckled again: "Haha..."
Lin Shu and later Ji Heng both looked completely bewildered.
After Su Mu had finished laughing, he finally spoke to explain:
"My wife doesn't know that just now, Si'er kept calling for little Lingyi, and wouldn't listen to anyone who said it; "
Little Lingyi also opened his mouth and babbled, as if he were responding!
Upon hearing this, Lin Shu glanced at Xiao Lingyi, then at An Si, and a smile involuntarily crept into her eyes.
Little Ansi, mimicking Lin Shu's stern face, seemed to realize that the adults had finally mentioned her. She spread her arms wide towards Lin Shu, who was looking over, and earnestly asked for a hug:
"Mommy, hug me."
Lin Shuyi picked her up and pointed to Xiao Lingyi, saying to her, "This is your uncle, not your brother."
When An Si heard Lin Shu say the same thing, she didn't immediately refute it. Instead, she frowned, pursed her thin lips, and thought for a while before explaining seriously:
"But he's young, he's the younger brother."
The last three words carried a hint of unquestionable authority, and this little adult-like demeanor amused everyone in the room.
Lin Shu was about to explain to her daughter why her uncle was younger than her when Xue Wen's smiling voice interrupted her:
"Hahaha! Little Ansi, you'd better protect your little brother when you grow up!"
It was originally just a joke, but who knew that Xiao Lingyi would call An Si "sister" for over ten years, and when he tried to correct it later, he couldn't...
After a while, Lin Shu got up and went to the study. She couldn't stay any longer; she had been away from the capital for a long time and still had many official matters to attend to.
Of course, she also carried Xiao Ansi away; the child was particularly attached to her.
In the study room.
The two, one big and one small, were each looking at the books in their hands. Actually, Lin Shu was holding Xiao Ansi on her lap and giving her a primer, the Disciple's Rules, while she herself was holding a folded book and listening to Zi Yi's report.
Zi Yi kept getting distracted, his eyes occasionally glancing at An Si, who was also engrossed in her book with a serious expression, just like Lin Shu. He thought to himself, "My master is indeed amazing; her daughter is no ordinary person either."
At an age when other children are still wetting the bed and drinking milk, he can already read books on his own!
Little did she know, our little Ansi couldn't understand at all, but the aunt in black in front of her was watching her the whole time, and she couldn't let her mother down!
