Chapter 1038: Eldest Brother's Wedding, Three Women Meet
On the wedding day.
The Chen Clan was bustling; everyone who should come had come, including Father-in-law Shang Yingnian and his family. Chen Chuyang had met Shang Yingnian together with Hongxue and Hongchen before, and upon seeing Chen Chuyang, Shang Yingnian naturally gave him no pleasant expression, nor would he show him any kindness.
Both daughters had been taken by him, and Shang Yingnian still felt uneasy inside; although he wasn't angry,... he truly couldn't get past that hurdle in his heart. Chen Chuyang was accustomed to it; if it were him, having a man steal his two women, his attitude would probably be even worse.
Not using force is already acceptable; there's no need to give him a pleasant expression.
On the contrary, Mother-in-law Jiang Luolan and brother-in-law Shang Yue had a very good attitude, especially the mother-in-law, who held Hongchen's hand, asking this and that, telling her to pay attention to herself and also to the child, etc.; in short, at such a time one must be especially careful, the first pregnancy is very important and also very dangerous.
Brother-in-law Shang Yue took the opportunity to pull Chen Chuyang aside and whispered: 'You don't need to worry about Father's side; he just can't get past that hurdle in his heart—just give him some more time.'
'It's fine, I don't mind.' Chen Chuyang said with a grin, having taken the father-in-law's beloved daughters—both of them; being happy about that would be strange.
'If you think that way, it's naturally best, brother-in-law.' Shang Yue no longer calls him 'second brother-in-law'; he directly calls him 'brother-in-law'.
This brother-in-law before him is both his eldest brother-in-law and his second brother-in-law—both are brother-in-law—and he wholeheartedly approves of Chen Chuyang; this brother-in-law is truly beyond reproach, and having the two sisters follow him is also a good thing.
The eldest sister follows Chen Chuyang, and Shang Yue approves of this; since following Chen Chuyang, the eldest sister no longer gives him trouble, nor is she as arrogant as before, his life has become much easier, and Shang Yue naturally hopes this good life continues a bit longer.
As for the eldest and second sisters, he both fears them from the bottom of his heart and hopes they fare well from the bottom of his heart.
Life on Longshe Shan is very peaceful and also dull, but for the eldest and second sisters, it is the best life.
Over these years, Shang Yue has grown a lot in all aspects, truly making Chen Chuyang look at him anew; cultivation is secondary, his mindset and his entire true qi and blood have been forged to be extremely solid, he advances step by step, steady and solid, having heeded Chen Chuyang's initial instructions and also remembered his words.
At the eighth layer of the inner elixir, his physique is far stronger than his cultivation.
His Hegemon Body, with domineering aura overflowing, is even stronger than Father-in-law Shang Yingnian.
Most of the Shang Clan's affairs are entrusted to him; it can be said that Shang Yue is currently the one holding power in the Shang Clan. Father-in-law Shang Yingnian has done well in this regard, having trained his brother-in-law early on, letting him stay busy, and Shang Yue has not disappointed Father-in-law.
"I didn't expect you, kid, to have grown so much over these years—good, good; from now on you should often go to Longshe Shan."
"If you encounter cultivation problems, you can also go to Longshe Shan to find me."
"Yes, brother-in-law." Shang Yue said, clasping his fists.
He can go to Longshe Shan anytime, with no obstruction.
Over these years, he has gone to Longshe Shan quite often; after the Shang Clan's rise, affairs became too many, reducing the number of visits to Longshe Shan.
This time for the wedding, he specially came to chat with them.
Many guests came to the wedding, most of them friends of the Chen Clan, invited by the father; they were all left to the father and the eldest brother to receive, while he had no need to do these things, nor did he.
Hongchen and Hongxue stood beside him, and brother-in-law Shang Yue was also at his side.
After the wedding ended, it was already night; once the guests had all left, there was nothing left for them to do.
Among them, naturally there were not a few old acquaintances; those people came to exchange a few words with Chen Chuyang, and compared to the families that came from the Great Qi Dynasty, as well as some officials from within the dynasty, a batch also came.
Qi Ruohua came only at night, sneaking in, but she didn't dare to come face-to-face.
After nightfall.
Chen Chuyang saw the sneaking Qi Ruohua and teased, 'You only came this late?'
"I don't want to either; if I came too early, I'd be afraid the Chen Clan couldn't handle it." Qi Ruohua explained.
Her gift had been sent long ago; she herself only arrived now.
Mother also saw Qi Ruohua, took her hand, beaming: 'Ruohua has come; didn't Haoyang and Qinglian accompany you back?'
"Mother, they don't know where they went wandering; since coming down the mountain, I've only seen them once, and after that I haven't seen them again."
Regarding this, Qi Ruohua also felt helpless; she also wanted her son to bring Qinglian back, but couldn't find anyone.
"Eh?" Mother Long Ming looked at Chen Chuyang and asked, 'Chuyang, are your two sons alright?'
"No, Mother, rest assured." Chen Chuyang said with a smile, explaining, 'The two of them are doing very well.'
Mother then breathed a sigh of relief, then pulled Qi Ruohua aside to talk, saying the same thing to each daughter-in-law.
Hongxue and Hongchen felt not the slightest envy, for they too had experienced this—nothing more than urging childbirth.
Soon after, Qi Ruohua returned, gave Chen Chuyang a glance, then said to Hongxue, 'Hongxue sister, you're not being fair—you didn't remind me, nor did you stop me.'
Shang Hongxue spread her hands: 'Mother wants to find you; how could I dare to stop her?'
Shang Hongchen rubbed her belly and smiled: 'Qi Ruohua, you actually don't need to go.'
Qi Ruohua looked resentfully at Chen Chuyang, pouting: 'Husband, look how they're bullying me.'
Chen Chuyang had a headache; these three women were starting to act, their relationship is very good, and Chen Chuyang certainly couldn't be unaware.
'Alright, you three, stop acting; this is the eldest brother's wedding venue, we can't cause trouble.'
Then he walked over to Qi Ruohua's side, waved at Hongxue, and Shang Hongxue took Hongchen away.
Leaving them two some private time, after seeing them leave, Qi Ruohua leaned her body against Chen Chuyang and said, 'Husband, are Qinglian and Haoyang alright?'
"No problem."
"Do you know where they are now?"
Chen Chuyang nodded: 'They're currently trapped, but it's nothing serious; they'll come out soon.'
Only then did Qi Ruohua relax; it seemed her husband had been keeping an eye on them all along.
"Husband, guess what Mother and I talked about?"
Chen Chuyang chuckled, pinched her, and said, 'What else could it be? Nothing but urging you to have a few more kids to replenish the Qi Family's bloodline.'
Qi Ruohua gave Chen Chuyang a white-eye, complaining: 'Since you know, why didn't you remind me earlier, leaving me unable to speak up.'
"Mother gave me a death order to come to Longshe Shan more often; do you think I can refuse?"
Chen Chuyang embraced her, comforting: 'Then come more often; you really have been coming to Longshe Shan infrequently these years, and I miss you.'
"Hongxue also often brings you up, saying that since you have a son, you've forgotten your husband."
"Where is that." Qi Ruohua's face flushed as she explained, 'I'm not busy? The threat from Tianwai is gradually approaching; I need to become strong quickly, so I can protect the dynasty and protect my son.'
"I don't want Haoyang, at such a young age, to have to face powerful enemies; as a mother, I naturally want to help him clear the way ahead."
