Song Ruqi was talking privately with their mother, while the male guests had already started drinking.
Song Lingsu was quite satisfied with this new second brother-in-law; he appeared wise and brave, tall and formidable, giving off a sense of security that their grandmother often described, quite different from the eldest brother-in-law.
However, this second brother-in-law wasn’t as loyal to the eldest sister as the eldest brother-in-law was; he had some old mistress, who might be promoted to a concubine in the future.
Qi Zhen, feeling somewhat uneasy under the watchful eyes of his brother-in-law, put down his wine cup and asked, "Huaiyan, do you have something to say to me?"
He was calling Song Lingsu by his courtesy name.
Song Lingsu stood up, bowed slightly, and said, "Second Brother-in-law."
He quickly partially returned the courtesy and said, "We are family, no need for such formalities, feel free to speak your mind."
Song Lingzhao and Song Lingjie exchanged glances with the others, put down their wine cups, and watched the scene unfold.
To outsiders, the Song brothers were a united front, no, a gang!
"It’s nothing much, just wanted to say, my second sister has a willful and spoiled nature, with a bit of a temper. If there’s something that displeases you in the future, I hope you can be forgiving." Song Lingsu said with a light smile, "Although her temper isn’t the best, she’s genuinely kindhearted. When she’s being stubborn, just humor her a bit and she’ll come around."
Qi Zhen was momentarily stunned, then laughed heartily, "I thought it was something serious. Don’t worry, wives are meant to be cherished. Your second sister is wonderful, there’s no need to worry."
Song Lingzhao couldn’t help but interject, "Second Brother-in-law, you’re newlywed, still in the honeymoon period, of course, you think our second sister is perfect. And she’s only showing you her good side, you’re blinded, can’t really blame you. Once you’ve been together longer, you’ll see her true nature, and you might not say the same."
Everyone’s gaze shot towards him.
Song Lingsu: Such a sailing brother can be disowned, right?
Song Lingjie: You’re doomed, I’ll mourn for your ears for a second.
Song Lingzhou: If I sell out Second Brother, how many chicken legs could I trade from Second Sister?
Qi Zhen was even more astonished.
What, is it wrong to speak the truth too?
"Well, what I’m saying is, no matter what, she’s still our second sister. If one day you truly get fed up with her, don’t hit or scold her, just let us know, and we brothers will come and take her back ourselves." Song Lingzhao said.
Song Lingsu’s eyes curved: This brother can still be saved.
Song Lingjie: If it really gets to that, he’ll find a way to deal with this Qi guy, and make the Qi Family’s life a mess.
Song Lingzhou: Feels like the brothers are hinting we have a big move, but with no evidence, I won’t speak.
Qi Zhen looked at the few young men in front of him and inexplicably felt a chill climbing his spine.
His Yue family was clearly a family of civil servants, so why did it feel like he had entered a den of wolves, with these brothers-in-law each baring their fangs at him!
"Rest assured, brothers, I won’t be rough with your sister." Qi Zhen quickly expressed his sincerity.
"No problem, even if you were rough, we couldn’t beat you. At most, we’d outwit you in words." Song Lingjie smiled slightly, pouring him more wine.
Song Lingzhao also added, "That’s right, we’re striving to be gentlemen. Gentlemen argue with words, not fists." At most, he’d use his feet.
Song Lingsu: "Alright, stop scaring the second brother-in-law. After all, it’s a marriage granted by the Emperor, why wouldn’t he give face to the Emperor?" Orıginal content can be found at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵
He’d better prepare a generous gift and seek advice from the Gu family on how to win over these wolf-like brothers-in-law!
Each one of them is truly not to be messed with!
