The Second Young Master’s Obedient Husband : Chapter 63

During the first lunar month, it was time to visit relatives. The Liang family and Mother Liang’s natal family had long been as close as one family. Although it wasn’t exactly proper etiquette, on the first day of the new year the Liang family still went to Mother Liang’s family home to pay New Year respects.

Mother Liang was overjoyed to receive the small gold bracelet from Su Qingyu. She didn’t even wear the large gold bracelet that Father Liang had given her, choosing instead to wear the small gold bracelet from Su Qingyu.

She wore clothes given by her elder daughter in law and the small gold bracelet given by her younger son’s husband. Her whole face glowed with radiance, and anyone who saw her knew she was incredibly happy.

Zhang Yun also received a gold hairpin from Liang Feng, engraved with cloud patterns, looking very bright and fresh.

Before going to Mother Liang’s family home, the whole family first had to send Su’s mother back home. The Liang family now had many members, and the whole family walking down the road together, with the women and husbands all wearing gold jewelry, looked incredibly proud and showy. The villagers watched with great envy, praising how well the Liang family was doing.

After visiting relatives, although Mother Liang’s family members were all very kind, Liang Yu was afraid Su Qingyu wouldn’t be used to it. So he found an excuse and brought Su Qingyu home first. On the way, they happened to run into a few men who had a decent relationship with Liang Yu. Liang Yu introduced Su Qingyu to them. “This is my husband, Su Qingyu.”

The few men greeted him in succession. “Greetings, brother in law.”

Su Qingyu’s face was red as he said, “Hello to you all.”

After a simple greeting, Liang Yu held Su Qingyu’s hand and walked toward the Liang family home. As they passed by, one of the men pulled Liang Yu’s sleeve and quietly invited him to drink. Liang Yu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. He first brought Su Qingyu home.

After eating, in the evening Liang Yu told Su Qingyu about going drinking. If he came back late, Su Qingyu should go to sleep first. He picked up two jars of good wine and left.

The few men were from the same batch who had gone to the battlefield with Liang Yu. Although they later scattered in different directions, after returning to the village their relationship was still very good. Seeing Liang Yu enter the room, the few men draped their arms over each other’s shoulders, poured the wine, and filled a cup to hand to Liang Yu.

That morning when visiting relatives, Su Qingyu had been dressed up beautifully. Between his brows and eyes was the look of someone who had been thoroughly pampered. His skin was delicate and tender, clearly having never done any rough labor. Anyone could tell he was being raised very well. Liang Yu was also incredibly clingy, constantly holding his hand and not letting go.

The few men were dumbfounded at the time. They had never seen Liang Yu with such a gentle expression. Before, Liang Yu always had a cold face, and you were lucky if he didn’t come over and stab you, considering that his mood was good.

At the time, with Su Qingyu present, the few men had greeted them properly. Now in private, the sourness in their words couldn’t be suppressed no matter what.

“Oh, how can you bear to be away from your husband? This morning you were so clingy, we brothers couldn’t even bear to watch.”

“My goodness, Liang Er, what have you dressed your husband up as? Looking so decked out in jewels, he’s almost like a rich young master from town.”

“That gold hairpin, gold bracelet, gold earrings, how much must that cost? You really are willing to spend silver on your husband.”

“That skin, so fair and tender, like a shelled egg. Liang Er, you really have good fortune.”

…

With Su Qingyu not around, Liang Yu rarely gave them a good face. The proud and pleased look on his face made the few men so annoyed that they kept pouring wine down his throat.

When Liang Yu returned that evening, his whole body carried the smell of wine. Although Liang Yu had a good tolerance for alcohol, after several jars of fine brew, his face couldn’t help but turn red.

As soon as Liang Yu entered the room, he saw Su Qingyu sitting on the bed waiting for him. He closed the door, walked over, reached out, and pulled him into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead.

Su Qingyu wrinkled his nose at the smell of wine on him. “How much did you drink? Your whole body smells of wine.”

Liang Yu held Su Qingyu and sniffed the warm fragrance on his body. The alcohol was getting to his head, making him a bit dizzy. “Not much.”

Su Qingyu didn’t believe him but didn’t ask further. He only leaned against his chest, frowning from being surrounded by the smell of wine.

Liang Yu was a bit drunk, rarely not as sharp as usual. He held Su Qingyu and chattered away. “Those few brats, they were so jealous today.”

Su Qingyu raised his head to look at him, his expression carrying a bit of confusion.

On Liang Yu’s normally stern face, there was now none of his usual steady appearance. His tone was full of pride and satisfaction. “They said I raised you too well, that their wives couldn’t compare. I said my husband was already the best to begin with, so their wives naturally couldn’t compare…”

Hearing this, Su Qingyu’s face turned red, and he instinctively buried his face in Liang Yu’s chest without speaking.

After talking for a while, Liang Yu finally noticed Su Qingyu frowning. He pinched his face and said, “You don’t like the smell of wine? Just wait a moment.”

With that, he got up with effort, went into the washroom, and washed away the smell of wine from his body. The drunkenness faded quite a bit. Remembering how he had held Su Qingyu and talked while drunk, he pinched between his brows, feeling a bit embarrassed. But he didn’t regret it. This was what he truly thought.

He draped his clothes over himself and entered the room. Now that the smell of wine was gone, he could hold his husband and sleep.

…

During these days of New Year, after visiting relatives there wasn’t much else to do.

Liang Yu’s small courtyard had its own small kitchen, so they didn’t need to eat at the main hall every day. The young couple enjoyed their freedom, sleeping as late as they wanted, with no one to bother them.

It was terribly cold outside in winter, but the charcoal fire in the room burned bright. The two of them curled up under the covers, too lazy to move.

These past few days, Su Qingyu had been bullied quite a bit.

At home, unlike in the mountains, the soundproofing wasn’t very good. When he was bullied, he didn’t dare make a sound.

Liang Yu was terribly mischievous. The more he saw Su Qingyu holding it in, the more excited he got, teasing him in all sorts of ways.

Su Qingyu glared at him with tears in his eyes, but Liang Yu only grew more excited. His movements grew heavier and heavier, insisting on hearing some sound from him. Even if it was cursing, that would still feel wonderful.

Liang Yu also had his limits. He could feel that Su Qingyu was enjoying it too. If he were truly hurting him, this little fish who had been spoiled beyond all reason would have kicked him directly. He wouldn’t be like now, only glaring at him softly.

When it was over, Su Qingyu went soft in his arms. After recovering his strength, he bit Liang Yu. Liang Yu pinched his cheeks and lifted him up, and his watery eyes were still glaring at him.

Liang Yu not only wasn’t embarrassed but even laughed out loud. He held him and kissed him again and again. He felt that Su Qingyu’s glare looked fierce but had no real power. It was more like acting spoiled, incredibly cute.

After kissing him, Liang Yu held him and sighed. “Being home is pretty nice too.”

Su Qingyu became a little red turtle again, shrinking into Liang Yu’s shell.

After a while, he would carefully poke his head out, looking left and right to confirm there was no danger, before gradually relaxing. Before long, he would forget his lesson and bite the culprit again.
