"My father-in-law also eats more. Xinyue is still busy with business matters recently?" Qi Tian asked.

Xia Zhengxin put down his chopsticks, his expression became more serious, and said, "Yunhai City's annual spring Yunhai Trade Fair is about to begin. Tian'er, don't underestimate this Yunhai Trade Fair. By then, wealthy businessmen in the mainland will gather in Yunhai City, and the largest transactions this year will be completed here. It can be said that more than 60% of each business transaction volume is completed in the Yunhai Trade Fair in the spring. Although there are trade fairs in other quarters, they are all small-scale fights. Even if there are a few big transactions, they are all accidental."

Speaking of this, his face turned dimmed, and his tone was a little guilty: "It just happened that Tian'er was injured, and Xinyue didn't take care of Tian'er. Tian'er should not think too much, and he must be more tolerant. After this time, he will be much better."

Qi Tian nodded and said, "Father-in-law, these son-in-law understand that the son-in-law will not have other ideas. Our Xia family is a merchant family. Now we have reached such a large scale and raise so many people. Business is definitely the first priority. This little injury to the son-in-law is nothing."

But he thought in his heart, would it be good? It's strange! It's been ten days, and he hasn't seen Xia Xinyue's true face yet!

Since returning to Xia Mansion from the medicine shop ten days ago, Liu'er has been taking care of himself. His father-in-law occasionally came to see him. None of the other maids and servants of Xia Mansion, including Xia Xinyue himself, had ever taken care of them.

Moreover, he could feel that Xia Xinyue was obviously very resistant to this forced marriage and Qi Tian himself, and deliberately avoided it. It was even very likely that she would inform the others in the mansion to deliberately exclude him.

But Qi Tian was not disgusted with this kind of rejection, and even liked the feeling of being despised and ignored. After all, he only wanted to be a good young man in his life, good food, drink, and good fun, and did not want to participate in too many things.

Xia Zhengxin nodded with relief, then paused for a moment, sighed, and continued, "I don't know what wrong I did in my previous life. Xinyue, a child, has been very strong since childhood, and has to compete with others everywhere. Girls learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, and embroidery. Instead, she ran to a private school with me on her back. She often competed with other boys. She even said, "Who said women are not as good as men! For this matter, my Xia family has been subjected to many rumors from others. My daughter's family does not look like a daughter's family, alas..."

Qi Tian looked at the depression on the face of the middle-aged man beside him and comforted him: "Father-in-law, this is a good thing in the eyes of the son-in-law. You are old now and should not be overworked. With the current size of the Xia family, you need Xinyue, a capable and energetic person to share your worries, rather than a woman in the boudoir."

In the current feudal era, almost all women are still following the feudal tradition of getting married and taking care of their husbands and children at home when they are about to be sixteen years old.

Like Xia Xinyue, she went to private schools with a lot of boys since she was a child. She was the only girl in the whole class. She even went to compete with other male classmates for no reason, memorizing poetry and writing... She is really unique, with *******g) bones popping out of eggs.

But Qi Tian also has his own selfishness. Xia Xinyue doesn’t go out to do business and make money. Who will support him, the “three good young man”?

Xia Zhengxin was stunned and looked at Qi Tian in surprise, with a little more admiration in his eyes.

"Tian'er, don't you blame Xinyue? In fact, the people told me that you have never met again since you were injured..." At the end of his speech, he spoke with deep self-blame, as if his daughter is like this now, it's his responsibility.

After all, he is Xia Xinyue's biological father. His daughter is married as a wife. Even if he married into their family, as a wife, he must adhere to traditions and take care of her husband and parents at home. What's more, his husband was seriously injured.

Now I am happy to go out early and come back late, and I am always on the verge of the moon and show up outside, dealing with various merchants and men. It is hard to find in the world. Xia Zhengxin has a great responsibility.

Qi Tian's face changed, his face was full of righteousness, and his tone was tragic: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law is really understanding and happy. I won't blame her. After all, she is busy outside for the family affairs. Even if she neglects me, she can't do her duty as a wife, or even make her son-in-law feel the warmth of getting married at all. I can understand it. The son-in-law must put the overall situation first. Now I am married into the Xia family and I am a member of the Xia family. As long as the Xia family is good, I will be willing to give anything!"

Xia Zhengxin looked at Qi Tian with a look of "sacrificing oneself for others", and her face was full of grievances for the Xia family. Her heart was filled with deep guilt, and her eyes were a little red and said, "Tian'er, my good son-in-law...my good son-in-law..."

"Father-in-law, I..." Qi Tian suddenly wanted to speak but stopped, and a trace of light flashed in his long and narrow eyes.

"My God, if you have anything to say, I will tell you, what can we say?" Xia Xinzheng said happily.

"Although one family drove me out, another warmer, warmer and happier home accepted me. My son-in-law wanted to drink three big bowls. Thank God for giving me a second father!" Qi Tian said with excitement.

Xia Zhengxin looked at Qi Tian's face, with a flushed face and a bright look, as if the child lost in his early years had been recovered. He shouted to the door: "Afu, drink wine, today I want to drink three big bowls with my good son-in-law!"

Butler Afu walked in and said with concern: "Master, you shouldn't drink your body..."

"Don't worry, go right away!" Xia Zhengxin glared and scolded.

Ah Fu glanced at Qi Tian at Yu Guang, then turned around and went to get the wine.

When the exquisite ceramic wine pot was brought up and the maid serving filled the wine, Xia Zhengxin picked up the wine glass, touched Qi Tian gently, raised her head and drank it all.

"Shuh, I haven't drunk for a long time! Since Xinyue's mother left because of her life, Xinyue has supervised me and refused to let me drink." Xia Zhengxin's eyes were filled with sadness.

Qi Tian knew that his father-in-law was thinking of some past events.

Xia Zhengxin wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve and said, "In the past, when my wife was still there, she could still control Xinyue's temper. Since her mother left, no one in the Xia family could control her. When treating Xinyue, I can't stick to her like Ping An. And it turns out that sticks are really useless, alas..."

He took the initiative to pick up the wine pot, poured himself a glass, and drank it all in one go.

"Father-in-law, drink less, it is not good for your health." Qi Tian comforted him, but his hands took the initiative to fill his father-in-law with his free pick...

Xia Zhengxin looked at Qi Tian with relief, signaled that he was fine, and continued: "Although she is very capable in all aspects and can already stand alone for the Xia family, she is a girl after all. It is never a big deal to show up all day and deal with people of all kinds."

He sighed deeply again and said, "But now that her elder sister has encountered such a thing, her third sister went to learn martial arts with Yunxian Taoist nun again. Although Xia Ping'an is a man, she is still young and stupid by nature and can't afford such a big family business as the Xia family. So besides being happy, I really don't know who can hand over the Xia family's family business to a hundred years later."

Qi Tian looked at Xia Zhengxin with empathy.
