The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 128: Henpecked Husband

Xie Yunzhen returned and said they no longer need to go to the main residence to pay respects.

Ji Mingzhu felt a bit happy, yet somewhat regretful.

Her cheeks were cupped in the man’s hands, rubbed gently, "Not happy?"

Ji Mingzhu glared at him, vigorously slapped the back of his hand, "Don’t touch me!"

Xie Yunling nodded in agreement, "There are still children here."

Xie Yunzhen gave her a sidelong glance, "Why haven’t you left yet?"

Xie Yunling: "..."

Considering he’s supporting Sister Mingzhu, Xie Yunling decided not to bother with him.

She held Ji Mingzhu’s arm, rescuing her.

"I’m hungry."

Ji Mingzhu seized the opportunity and led her to the dining room.

Left standing there, Xie Yunzhen touched his nose tip, he just liked to touch Mingzhu.

Pinching her ears, cheeks...or holding her hand, smelling her hair could make him happy for a long time.

Though no one invited him for a meal, Xie Yunzhen shamelessly followed along.

In the middle of the dining table was the fish Ji Mingzhu personally steamed.

As for the begonia pastry, it had already been sent to Mrs. Guan.

Xie Yunzhen glanced around, not even a piece was left for him.

He felt a bit disappointed.

It was then he realized again how unappreciative he was in his past life!

He picked a piece from the fish belly, cleaned the bones, and placed it on the plate in front of Ji Mingzhu.

He looked at her appeasingly, "Looks delicious, try it."

Ji Mingzhu didn’t want to bother with Xie Yunzhen, but since she made the fish herself, why wouldn’t she eat it?

"Big brother, borrowing flowers to present to the Buddha, such shamelessness."

Xie Yunling snorted, "If you really want to please Sister Mingzhu, you should cook for her yourself, that’s true sincerity!"

Xie Yunzhen’s eyes shifted slightly, feeling Yunling was quite right.

In his past life, he had let Mingzhu down, and it’s not something that merely saying sorry could mend.

In this life, he ought to cook for Mingzhu.

Having made up his mind, he planned to schedule it for his next day off.

Xie Yunzhen corrected, "Call her sister-in-law."

Xie Yunling pouted, "Isn’t it the same? Besides, I’ve always called her Sister Mingzhu, it’s become a habit."

"Not the same."

Xie Yunling’s eyes shifted, intentionally teasing him, "Then I’ll call her Sis."

"Playing word games with me?"

Only by calling her sister-in-law can it consistently remind others that he and Mingzhu are married.

Xie Yunzhen’s expression was calm, but it gave a chilling feel.

Daring not to tease him further.

Xie Yunling silently ate.

Ji Mingzhu placed all the tasty dishes in front of her, "You’re still growing, eat more."

By doing so, it left an empty space in front of Xie Yunzhen.

He looked at Ji Mingzhu with grievance, was she not even letting him eat?

Ji Mingzhu didn’t look at him.

She continued to fill her stomach, occasionally chatting with Xie Yunling.

Xie Yunling continued to eat the steamed fish, visibly consuming more than half of it.

She already loved fish, and since it was specifically made for her, she liked it even more.

"Sister Mingzhu, your cooking skills are better than the chef’s."

Saying this, she once again reached for the communal chopsticks.

Before the chopsticks touched the target, the steamed fish along with the plate was taken away.

Xie Yunzhen said coldly, "Call her right or don’t eat."

"Sister Mingzhu, look at him!"

Ji Mingzhu finally shifted her gaze to Xie Yunzhen, "If you don’t want to eat properly, then leave." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Xie Yunzhen didn’t fall for it.

Not leaving as she wished.

Leisurely placing the steamed fish in front of himself, "My virtuous wife specially cooked for me, if I don’t finish it, I won’t be honoring her heart."

Saying this, he picked the choicest piece, removed the bones, and placed it on Ji Mingzhu’s plate.

He then savored the rest.

Xie Yunling was dumbfounded.

This person was so shameless.

Clearly, Mingzhu only cooked because she was invited for the meal.

Yet he made it seem like a wife cooking for her husband.

Xie Yunling knew her own brother liked Sister Mingzhu.

Previously, she thought her brother wasn’t favored by girls.

Now she realized, he wasn’t thick-skinned enough.

If he had half of his big brother’s shamelessness, he might have won the beauty long ago!

Xie Yunzhen ignored their gazes, placing other dishes in front of Ji Mingzhu.

"Eat more."

Then he took the fish tail with bone, carefully started eating.

Xie Yunzhen, of noble status, never ate fish tails before.

The cherishing way he ate it, seemed inexplicably pitiful.

Ji Mingzhu looked complicated.

Placed the fish head in his bowl, "You eat more."

Xie Yunzhen hadn’t cheered yet when he saw Ji Mingzhu place the last piece of fish to Yunling.

Good things should be saved till last.

He specifically reserved it for her...

Feeling stared at, Xie Yunling got slightly nervous.

Mumbled, "I’ll buy you a whole one later when we go out."

Ji Mingzhu patted her head.

"Don’t bother with him; this was made for you. Some people steal food and dare to have a mood."

Xie Yunzhen dared not to give a look.

Looking somewhat pitiful, Xie Yunling thought internally she was truly amazed.

Who’d think the rebellious Xie Princely Heir is henpecked!

Women from the inner chambers can’t easily leave the manor.

Clearly, Xie Yunling wished to go out, so Ji Mingzhu agreed with Xie Yunzhen’s suggestion.

After lunch, they sent someone to pass the message to the second residence.

Then took Xie Yunling out.

Maybe it’s a narrow path for enemies, they bumped into Du Peifang while passing the garden.

Duke Xie sat in the pavilion brewing tea.

She was picking flowers in the garden with Xiao Mei.

The atmosphere was harmonious.

Seeing them, Duke Xie looked embarrassed.

Then stood up, left the pavilion, and criticized Xie Yunzhen sternly.

"Teach children in the hall, teach wives on the pillow. You control her well, I don’t want this to happen again today."

Xie Yunzhen raised his eyebrow, "Mingzhu did well, listened to mother-in-law, even served tea to your concubine, you should praise her for her filial piety."

Duke Xie was choked up.

Everyone was aware of that tea incident.

Yet it couldn’t be addressed openly.

Harshly said, "If it happens again, I won’t be lenient!"

Xie Yunzhen’s outlook was sarcastic, "The root cause of the problem, do you really not know? If you have time to find faults, better find the reasons within yourself."

Ji Mingzhu and Xie Yunling were also present, listening clearly.

Duke Xie’s complexion reddened.

"Men having multiple wives is common; I didn’t make them surpass your mother, neither can she arbitrarily torment them!"

Xie Yunzhen’s sarcasm deepened.

"My mother doesn’t tolerate any nonsense; did you only know her temperament after marriage?"

"Xie Yunzhen, I’m your father!"

Duke Xie raised his voice, stricken with a sore spot.

Princess An He’s temperament, everyone in the capital knew.

She was even more flamboyant when young.

Her character caused a stir in the manor when Duke Xie took concubines.

Xie Yunzhen’s expression was ethereal, reminiscing childhood events.

Said, "If you wanted multiple wives, you should’ve married a wife from the start who didn’t expect affection, but rather mutual needs!"
