Chapter 94 The Marquis's Commoner Wife 4
Ning Yan woke up slowly around noon. When she saw the sky outside, she immediately became anxious and reached out to push the man beside her, "Husband, wake up quickly, we seem to be late!"

Han Yongjin patted her arm comfortingly, "Don't worry, it's late, isn't it not even noon yet? It's just the right time for us to pack up and go over to pay our respects to mother and have lunch with her."

Ning Yan laughed in her heart. She had heard what happened outside the door this morning. Want to eat? I guess the old woman wanted to eat people!
"But, I want to serve tea to mother, but I got up so late, mother won't blame me, right?"

"How could that be? Mother is the kindest person, and my wife is so lovely, she will definitely like you."

Ning Yan immediately said, "Really? Mom is really that good, I'm so lucky. My mom said..."

What could her mother say? She told her to be filial to her mother-in-law and serve her husband well.

But, her mother will say it often in the future.

Then, Ning Yan recounted all the ways the mistresses of those wealthy families tortured their daughters-in-law, such as not calling for greetings, making it difficult to serve tea, copying Buddhist scriptures and picking up Buddha beans when they had nothing to do, pretending to be sick and having waiters take care of them, and not giving money to the housekeeper so that the daughters-in-law had to pay for the dowry.

Some people crazily stuffed people into their son's room to make their daughter-in-law miserable, some drugged their daughter-in-law to make her miscarry, and some even gave her sterilization drugs. Some even wanted to solve the problem once and for all by finding a stranger for her daughter-in-law and slandering her for adultery...

Han Yongjin was stunned by these things. He had heard about the secrets of the royal family before, but this was the first time he had heard such detailed secrets. He always felt that those mothers-in-law who tortured their daughters-in-law were perverts!
Looking at his expression, Ning Yan smiled contemptuously in her heart. Just wait and see, your mother is the pervert you mentioned!
It took them more than half an hour to reach the old lady's yard. It was really time for lunch now.

"My son and daughter-in-law pay their respects to me, mother."

The old lady had waited for such a long time that she had lost her temper. No, it wasn’t that she had lost her temper, but that she was able to calm down and not lose her temper on the spot!
She was late in paying respects, which must be the daughter-in-law's fault, not her son's. She smiled and waved at the Marquis of Zhennan, "Come quickly, my son. I heard that you didn't have breakfast this morning. Come and try the snacks that mother asked Madam Feng to make."

Han Yongjin strode over to the chair next to the old lady and sat down. Just as he was about to take a taste of the snack, he found that his dear wife was still half-kneeling and greeting him.

Ning Yan raised her head at the right time, looked at him aggrievedly, then lowered her eyes, looking well-behaved.

"Yan'er, why don't you get up? Come quickly. Mom has prepared some snacks for us. Come and have a taste."

Old lady: …She just wanted to make trouble for this vixen, but her good son wanted to go against her.

Never mind, it’s really not appropriate for her to do too much in front of her son.

Moreover, this vixen is just a country girl, why is her posture of saluting so standard?

"Yes, you should get up soon too. Someone, go prepare some tea. I've been wanting to drink this cup of bride-to-be tea for a long time, and today I finally got the chance."

Han Yongjin smiled as he watched Ning Yan stand up. He said that although his mother was sometimes confused, she was still good to her son. Why would she deliberately make trouble for his newlywed wife?
I must have been too suspicious just now because of the story Yan'er told me.

Soon, the maid from Shou'an Hall brought a cup of tea. Ning Yan knelt down and took the cup handed over by the maid. Soon, her brows slightly frowned, "Please, please have some tea, mother-in-law."

Don't you dislike her as your daughter-in-law? Then she is not worthy of being called mother!

The old lady glanced at the maid and saw her nod slightly. A smile appeared on her face. "Now that you have married into the Zhennan Marquis Mansion, you are the wife of my Han family. In the future, you must be filial to your mother-in-law, love your children, take good care of your husband, and fulfill your duties as a daughter-in-law and a wife..." She was about to talk endlessly. Ning Yan deliberately tilted her hand and dropped the teacup on the ground. Then she waved her hands in panic and explained, "I, I didn't mean it, husband, I really didn't mean it, it's just that my hand hurts so much..."

Han Yongjin could see clearly that Yan'er was about to cry because of the burns, and her fingertips were red.

In fact, the water used to make tea was not that hot, and Ning Yan was holding the bottom of the cup, so it was not that scalding. It was just that she had done something in advance so that her fingers felt like they were scalded, just to let Han Yongjin see the true face of his mother.

Han Yongjin nervously grasped Ning Yan's hand, and seeing her fair fingers turned red, he suddenly felt a pang of heartache. It turned out that it was true that the mother-in-law would torment her daughter-in-law for no reason, and that his mother had deliberately not let Yan'er get up before.

"Who made the tea just now?"

The maid was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a thud, "Marquis Zhennan, please spare my life, I didn't mean it!"

"You didn't burn Madam like this on purpose. If you did, Madam would have lost her life, right?"

"Liefeng, drag this damned slave out and beat her to death!"

It is indeed cruel to kill a maid for a cup of tea, but Yan'er has just entered the mansion. If he does not take ruthless action to deter her, these servants will bully Yan'er even more unscrupulously in the future.

I hope my mother can understand his thoughts and stop touching his sore spot.

The old lady was furious: "Jin'er, this is my maid, you can't just beat her to death like that!"

Han Yongjin was completely unmoved. Liefeng, who was outside the door, had already walked in. He bowed to the Marquis of Zhennan and dragged the maid out.

Han Yongjin didn't want to stay in Shou'an Hall any longer, so he picked up Ning Yan and said, "Yan'er is injured. I'll go and apply medicine to her. I'll take my leave now."

Ning Yan pulled the man's collar and reminded him quietly, "But, but I haven't offered tea to my mother-in-law yet, so does that mean I am no longer considered a Han family woman?
Husband, please put me down. I want to serve tea to my mother-in-law.

Otherwise my mother-in-law will be angry."

Han Yongjin: "Yan'er, you are too sensible. You have been included in the genealogy of my Han family, so you are naturally my Han family wife."

The old lady really wanted to yell: Get out, get out! Who wants to drink the tea you offer?
Hmm? When did this country vixen enter the Han family tree?
Could it be that it happened when my son suddenly had to go to worship his ancestors half a month ago?
Okay, okay, he is really her good son.

How could Ning Yan just leave like this? Wouldn't that be in vain for kneeling before?

Han Yongjin couldn't persuade her, so he had to ask someone to make tea again. He also tested the temperature himself to make sure it wouldn't burn anyone before handing the teacup to Ning Yan.

The sleeves of ancient clothes were wide and large, making it very easy to cover something.
