Did the third place winner regret it today?

Chapter 40

I had just taken two bites of snacks to satisfy my hunger and was about to ask Kui'er and the others if they had eaten when someone suddenly came into the bridal chamber.
Yin Shi not only knew this person but was also close to her. When she saw this person, she immediately put down her snacks and stood up to greet her with a smile: "Mother Qin."

The middle-aged mother who came was about the same age as Madam Shen. She was not someone else but the maid that Madam Shen brought from Huaixi to the capital as a dowry. Now she was the most respectable mother around Madam Shen.
Mrs. Shen returned to her hometown twice and took her with her both times.
Last year, when Madam Shen was in Huaixi, she often asked Yin Shi to accompany her, so Yin Shi became familiar with Mother Qin.
Now in the capital, although their identities have changed, they are all from the Huaixi Yin family and are naturally close to each other.

Mother Qin hurried forward and held her down: "Young Madam, please sit down quickly, don't bother me."
In theory, no matter how respectable a slave is, he or she is no more powerful than the young master. But when Madam Shen got married, she brought an older maid and two younger maids with her. Now the older maid is her confidant and mother. She has been with her from her hometown to the capital for half her life. You can imagine how close she is to her.
Yin Ti took Qin's mother's arm with her backhand, very affectionately: "Mom, sit down too."

Mother Qin was not frivolous. She sat halfway down, glanced at the snacks on the table, and praised the girls, "You are thoughtful."
He turned around and ordered the maid behind him: "Bring it here quickly."
She smiled and told Yin Shi: "Madam knew that the young lady must have been hungry all day, so she asked the kitchen to cook chicken noodle soup for you. After the ceremony was finally completed and the guests left, she was able to bring it to the young lady. Fortunately, the maids knew what to do and knew to serve you some snacks first."

He Xin wanted to say that Shen Ti had ordered someone to prepare this snack, but Yin Shi stepped on her foot without making a sound, so He Xin immediately shut up.
A truth that is useful both in ancient and modern times: Don’t show your affection in front of your mother-in-law.

Yin Shi said to Qin Mama, "I have an aunt who loves me and thinks about me, so how can I starve? I just think that when my aunt married me, it must have been worse than having my biological aunt here."

This one sentence made Mother Qin sigh: "That's right."
"Back then, the old lady was in poor health and didn't take care of things much. The lady's marriage was arranged by several aunts from the next room. They..."
"Well, let's not talk about it. It's all in the past."

"Yes, it's all over." Yin Shi said, "I'll be here from now on. We're all from Huaixi, and my aunt and mom won't have to stand alone anymore."
Mother Qin was very relieved and patted Yin Shi's arm with a smile: "Eat something quickly."
Yin Shi was worried: "The people I brought here..."
Seeing that she cared about the servants, Qin's mother liked her very much: "Don't worry, the kitchen has just sent it over."

She also knew Kui'er: "Kui'er, right? Let's go out and have dinner."
Kui Er looked at He Xin and Lu Yan and hesitated: "Then sisters..."
As expected, the master and the maid are like each other. The master is kind and the maid is not the kind who only cares about herself. Mother Qin smiled and said, "Don't worry, they have already padded the door before you enter."

He Xin and Lu Yan also pushed Kui Er, "Go quickly."
Yin Shi lowered his chin and said with a smile, "Go ahead."
After receiving Xu's permission, Kui'er bowed and walked out quickly.

Yin Shi said, "Mom, I'm really hungry. I won't pretend in front of you anymore."
Mother Qin hurriedly said, "There's no outsider here, please use it."
Yin Shi was indeed not pretentious and started to eat with big mouthfuls, which tasted delicious.

Mother Qin was happy to see this.
"Slow down, slow down, don't choke."
"But I dare not eat too much, it's too late, it's easy to get indigestion.
"Yes, have some soup. This chicken soup has been cooking for the whole afternoon."

The bowl is not big, but very delicate. The chicken soup is clear and fragrant.
Yin Shi not only ate all the noodles, but also drank the soup and ate all the side dishes. He let out a long sigh and said, "My stomach is finally relieved."
Mother Qin covered her mouth and laughed.

The maids cleared the dishes, and Mother Qin told Yin Shi about the arrangements for tomorrow morning and then stood up: "You've worked hard all day, take a rest first."
First.
Yin Shi understood, because the last part of the wedding is called the "bridal chamber". According to everyone's opinion, the bride and groom will have to stay up all night.
She pretended not to understand, and stood up and saw Mother Qin off affectionately.
When he turned back, he looked at He Xin and Lu Yan and said, "There won't be anyone else here, will there? If there is no one, go and arrange for them to wash up."

After feeding Yin Shi, Mother Qin went back to report to Mrs. Shen.
Mrs. Shen was entertaining the female family members. She looked up and saw Mother Qin winking at her. She apologized to the guest and walked away quickly.
The two went to the corridor to talk.

"Have you eaten? You must be starving."
"Yes, he gulped down all the soup."
Both the master and the servant laughed.
Because when she was in Huaixi, compared with her sisters, Yin Shi was very relaxed and natural, never nervous, and never pretended to be elegant. Therefore, when Qin Mama said it, Madam Shen could imagine the scene and found it very funny.

Mother Qin praised Yin Shi: "He can eat and drink, and he looks healthy. That's how it should be."
Young children should be able to eat and drink to be healthy.
Mother Qin knew about Mrs. Shen's worries back then, and understood that she wanted to find a girl from a scholarly family with a good background and talent for Shen Ti, so she chose someone like Feng Luoyi.
It did meet Madam Shen's requirements, but Mother Qin felt scared - after all, she was not Madam Shen. In the future, with a young master who was so strict with rules and pretentious, being a servant would surely be stressful.
Such a young lady might not dare to look down on her mother-in-law, but could she look down on a servant girl like her who came from a small place?
Everyone has their own stance and everyone has their own ideas.
Shen Ti refused to marry the lady from Beijing, and Mrs. Shen was actually quite disappointed.
But Mother Qin preferred the Yin family from Huaixi. Apart from other things, the name "Huaixi Yin Family" alone made them close by nature.
Even if she had just delivered food to the bride, if the bride was a girl from the Feng family, would she be so affectionate to her?
Most likely it's not possible.

"No matter what, they finally got married safely. I hope the three of them can live a good life from now on." Mrs. Shen clasped her hands together and prayed.
There were guests to entertain inside, so she hurried back after saying this.
Mother Qin stood in the corridor, looking at the moon rising over the eaves, muttering to herself.
Can they really live a good life as a threesome from the beginning?
Sad people.

The moon was getting higher and higher, and the noise in front gradually faded away.
Kui'er waited until the flowers were almost withered, and finally her son-in-law Shen Ti arrived.
Shen Ti was supported by others when he came in. He staggered and his head hung to his chest.
Since the people who were helping were male guests, they helped them to the courtyard and handed them over to the maids before stopping and smiling: "I'll leave it to you."

Kui'er didn't come forward.
Before going to bed, Yin Shi told her: "Don't go near your cousin. Lv Yan and He Xin are definitely the ones he is used to. Just take good care of me and don't worry about him. He is not your responsibility. Don't compete with Lv Yan and He Xin for work. Get along well with them."

Kui'er didn't want to go forward. She had never served gentlemen before and had no idea how to serve the male master.
When she saw Shen Ti coming, she turned around and went into the house - Yin Shi was sleeping soundly on the wedding bed.
She said she would wake her up after Shen Ti came. "Wake up, wake up. Wake up!"
Kui'er was so anxious that she almost wanted to pinch Yin Shi.
My God, you are getting married today! Why are you sleeping as soundly as an old cow?
Please wake up quickly, it’s time for your wedding night!
Ancestors!

Just when she was about to grit her teeth and twist her body, Yin Shi let out a moan and woke up in time.
"I'm so sleepy..." Yin Shi yawned and rubbed his eyes, "He's back?"
"I'm back, I'm back." Kui'er lowered her voice, "Ancestor, please hurry up!"

Yin Shi glanced behind her. The curtain was hanging down and he could vaguely see a figure swaying outside.
Getting married actually has its benefits. Not only do you finally have your own property, but your living standard also rises dramatically.
When she was at home, she slept on an ordinary lacquered bed.
But now I sleep on a luxurious step-out bed.

Not only was the bed big, but the footrest area alone was comparable to the lacquered bed in her previous boudoir.
There is a cabinet, a chair and a clothes rack inside the bed. When the tent is lowered, it is like a small room.
very nice.

He Xin and Lu Yan took Shen Ti and carried her away.
Shen Ti looked drunk and reeked of alcohol. But as soon as he entered the back room, he suddenly raised his head.
The two maids were startled.

"Close the door." Shen Ti said, and took back her arms that were held by the maids.
It turned out that he was pretending to be drunk, the maids suddenly realized.
He Xin went to close the door.
Green Smoke also let go.
But they were all loosened, and Shen Ti walked crookedly and almost bumped into the door frame.

It was pretending, but not entirely. After all, the groom couldn't escape all the alcohol, and he still had to drink what he was supposed to drink, and the smell of alcohol on his body was not fake.
Lu Yan quickly supported him again.
Shen Ti shook her head and, with the help of Lu Yan, entered the inner room.

Just as he sat down, the bed curtains were opened and Yin Shi came out yawning, "You're back. Did you drink a lot? He Xin, give him the hangover soup."
Shen Ti looked up and saw Yin Shi wearing a shirt and trousers with a red gown draped over his shoulders.
Her long dark blue hair shone brightly in the candlelight, so black and beautiful.

It looked exactly like a woman in an inner room.
Even my father and elder brother couldn't bear to see me in this state.
Shen Ti immediately looked away.
He Xin had already served the sobering soup, and Shen Ti took it and drank it in one gulp.

He raised his hand towards the washroom, and He Xin Luyan hurried over to prepare for his washing.
Look, she doesn’t even need to be told anything. It turns out she is a maid that is used to being used.

Shen Ti put her elbows on the table, supported her forehead, and rubbed her temples vigorously. The hangover soup took effect, and her mind was indeed clearer.
He opened his eyes and wanted to speak, but when he saw Yin Shi, he looked away again.
"Ahem..." He hesitated for a moment and addressed Yin Shi, "Madam..."

Yin Shi paused as he yawned, covering half of his face, leaving only a pair of cunning eyes exposed.
"I'm really not used to being called that. You and I are siblings, and even if we get married, our blood connection will not change." Yin Shi said with emphasis, "Cousin, why don't you just call me sister?"

In the first round of marriage, identity, status and relationships must be determined first.
Yin Shi must confirm her identity as a sister.
Because between siblings, the elder sister is the elder and has the highest respect. When the elder sister speaks, the younger brother must listen. But between husband and wife, the husband is the head of the wife, and the wife must respect her husband and obey his words.

What a mother.
With a single word of "wife", the wife submitted to the husband's authority. That was not okay, I couldn't let my little cousin rebel against Tiangang.
They have to be siblings.
Bloodline suppression, the younger brother should listen to his sister. This is the right thing to do.

Shen Ti breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't have the same twists and turns as Yin Shi in this matter. He just simply felt that it was awkward for him to call her "wife", so it would be better to call her "sister".
Yin Shi was originally his sister.
He followed suit and immediately changed his words: "Sister."

But his eyes were only looking elsewhere and did not fall on the "disheveled" Yin Shi.
Yin Shi smiled and tugged at his shirt.
Look at me, little friend. Life is long, you can't hide away like this all your life.
My sister is wearing a long shirt and long pants, what is there to be afraid of?
Get used to it sooner.

But Kui Er was still beside him, so it was hard to say it out loud. He just yawned and said, "Go wash up. I see you are very drunk."
Shen Ti immediately got up and went to the bathroom.
It's a bit like running away.

He went in, Yin Shi yawned continuously, looked around the bathroom, and then looked back at the bed.
Kuier was so angry that she died.
"What are you thinking?" She lowered her voice to warn her, "The uncle will be out soon, you have to wait here."
Why are you thinking of taking advantage of this break to go back and take a nap?

"Got it." After being discovered, Yin Shi said angrily, "I'll just wait for him."
Kui Er had a headache: "How can a bride sleep so soundly alone?"
Today is your wedding night!
Yin Shi sighed sadly: "Alas——"
