Chapter 1168: Sorry!
At this moment, Pei Fufu had already woken up and was just getting dressed and washing up.
“H-hey.” Pei Fufu was at a loss as she stuttered and blushed. She lowered her head like a criminal who had done something wrong. What should she do? She woke up late.
She was a new daughter-in-law and was supposed to serve tea to her in-laws first thing in the morning. She had slept past the time.
Fei Ju and Fei Zhu tactfully retreated.
“l… I woke up late,” Pei Fufu said, thinking that her husband did not know what she had done wrong. “It’s my fault.”
Pei Fufu immediately thought of last night, and her pretty face turned even redder. After a long time, she didn’t know what to say. She continued staring at the ground. Her face was red as if it was about to drip blood. His hands were nervously twisting around the fabric again.
Xue Sanfu held her hand and brought her to the table. Although his voice was still very indifferent, it was gentle. “Let’s eat.”
On the table, Fei Ju had already brought breakfast in, but before she could eat, he came in.
“I… I should go and serve tea to Father and Mother first.” Pei Fufu kept her head lowered. She was worried that her clammy hands would make Sanfu feel uncomfortable. After so many years of living, this was her first time holding hands… Even now, she felt like she was not good enough. It was already so late, but she still had not gone to serve tea to her in-laws…
“Let’s eat first. Farmers don’t have such etiquette,” he added after a pause.
“I-I see… In that case, alright then.” Since she had married into this family, she would naturally follow the habits of this family first. After saying that, she pursed her lips and smiled. She couldn’t help but raise her head slightly and look at her husband.
However, before she could see her husband clearly, she immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.
He was really tall and handsome.
“Eat.” Xue Sanfu scooped a small bowl of porridge for her.
“Thank you.” Pei Fufu’s voice was pitifully soft. She did not dare to look at Xue Sanfu as he took the porridge and continued eating with her eyes glued to the bowl.
Xue Sanfu didn’t leave either, still sitting at the table and looking at her.
Pei Fufu felt extremely shy and lowered her head.
It was only after Pei Fufu had finished her breakfast that she was led out of the room by Xue Sanfu. She was extremely embarrassed to meet Xue Dafu and Liu Guixia and greet them as her parents.
Xue Dafu and Liu Guixia happily welcomed her with open arms.
The peasant family did not have the courtesy of a rich family. They did not need to serve tea at all. Xue Sanfu then brought Pei Fufu to meet her grandfather, Xue Da, as well as her uncles and aunties, so that Pei Fufu could introduce herself to them.
Xue Sanfu only brought Pei Fufu back after they had met all his relatives. When he saw that his brother was going to feed the horses, he insisted on following.
Coincidentally, Li Hehua, Yu Hongyan, and Shao Youyue were chatting and laughing in Li Hehua’s room. When they saw Pei Fufu, they asked her to not go to the stables. Instead, she shyly went to Li Hehua’s room.
His family had asked Pei Fufu to go over, so Xue Sanfu naturally had nothing to worry about. He then walked out of the house and went to the stable to feed the horses.
The shed was right next to them.
However, just as the grass was thrown into the shed, he heard the sound of deliberately soft footsteps. Xue Sanfu was always on high alert, and he had been trained in the military camp to keep track of suspicious noises. His eyes immediately followed the sound.
Then, he saw Lin Xicui tiptoeing toward him.
Xue Sanfu’s emotions did not fluctuate at all..
