Chapter 1309: Xinyan Is Thick-Skinned

Xinyan pulled her younger brother towards the house: "Master, Mistress, Happy New Year."

Just as she finished speaking, she heard the little one in her hand mimic her: "Mas, ter, Year, Good."

Xinyan looked down and laughed: "You should say Grandpa Du, Grandma Du, not follow your sister calling Master, Mistress."

The little one obediently changed his words: "Grand, Pa, Happy, Year."

That cute little appearance made everyone very fond of him.

Mrs. Du hurriedly took out three red envelopes from her pocket and first handed one to the little one: "Happy New Year, this is the New Year’s money from Grandma Du, keep it."

The little one didn’t take it, but looked up at his sister first.

Xinyan laughed: "Take it, after receiving the red envelope, what should you say?"

The little one showed a standard set of eight teeth and said with a smile: "Thank you."

Mrs. Du smiled and patted the little one’s head: "No need to thank."

Then, she handed a red envelope to Xinyan: "This is yours."

Xinyan was a bit embarrassed: "I’m already married, let’s forget it."

Mrs. Du teased: "It’s because it’s your first new year after marriage, next year you won’t get it, quickly have a little one, then next year they can receive it. Otherwise, you’ll just watch others’ kids get red envelopes and be envious."

Xinyan, with thick skin, said: "For this red envelope from Mistress, we will have to work hard."

Hearing this, everyone started to cheer.

He Jinxuan, carrying things, looked at Xinyan with a pampering expression. On the surface, he seemed calm, but inside he was stirred up and his heart was pounding.

He felt that the little woman’s words weren’t just for show, a warm current hit his heart, making him feel a wave of emotion.

Mrs. Du handed the last one to He Jinxuan, who had a face full of smiles: "This is yours, the first year of marriage, you should accept what the elders give."

He Jinxuan was too embarrassed to take it, but Xinyan said: "Just take it, it’s Master and Mistress’s goodwill towards us."

He Jinxuan reached out and took the red envelope: "Thank you."

Mr. Du looked at everyone in the room and said with a smile: "It’s rare for everyone to gather together, have a seat."

After he finished speaking, just as everyone was sitting down, they heard someone entering the yard.

Xinyan was about to look outside when she heard Wang Zejian, the eldest son of Second Brother’s family, yelling: "It’s the Eldest Aunt and Uncle coming."

Now everyone stood up again and saw Shen Guqing and Zhang Yueshan coming in, followed by a round of greetings.

Xinyan looked at them with a smile: "Didn’t expect you guys to be back so early."

Shen Guqing walked over with a smile: "There’s nothing much going on back at home, we visited all the relatives on the first and second day of the new year, knowing you all would be at Master’s today, we packed up and rushed back."

Upon hearing this, Xinyan hurriedly asked: "How about Granny Zhang, did she come back?"

Shen Guqing nodded: "She came back with us."

Originally, she thought that if her mother-in-law didn’t want to come now, she could go back and pick her up later. But her mother-in-law said there was nothing much to do at home, so she might as well come and take care of them.

During the days back home, her mother-in-law put her first in everything, taking care of her meticulously, even said after they return to Beijing, she would bring her lunch every afternoon, which deeply moved her.

After all, she didn’t have this treatment when she was married into the Meng family before.

Mistress, treating everyone equally, handed a red envelope each to Shen Guqing and Zhang Yueshan.

Shen Guqing felt a bit embarrassed: "Mistress, we don’t need to take this."

She thought to herself that when she married Meng Yifei before, Mistress also gave her a red envelope. Now that she’s remarried, how could she accept it again?

Mrs. Du gave her a playful look: "It’s just accompanying, it’s mainly for Yueshan."

She wasn’t afraid of Shen Guqing getting angry, anyway, everyone in the room was family, and mainly thinking of Meng Yifei made her angry, so Shen Guqing was disliked as well.

What else could Shen Guqing say, she smiled and hugged Mistress’s arm, resting her head on Mistress’s shoulder: "Thank you, Mistress, you and Master have always treated me the best."

Mrs. Du lightly poked her forehead: "It’s good you know that, live well with Yueshan from now on."

She then whispered in her ear: "Your master and younger sister have almost taken care of your health. You aren’t young anymore, have a child with Yueshan soon. Your mother-in-law is in good health now and can lend you a hand."

Upon hearing Mistress’s words, Shen Guqing blushed immediately, muttering shyly: "Got it."
