Song Ruqi was talking privately with their mother, while the male guests had already started drinking.
Song Lingsu was quite satisfied with this new second brother-in-law; he appeared wise and brave, tall and formidable, giving off a sense of security that their grandmother often described, quite different from the eldest brother-in-law.
However, this second brother-in-law wasn't as loyal to the eldest sister as the eldest brother-in-law was; he had some old mistress, who might be promoted to a concubine in the future.
Sigh, annoying.
Qi Zhen, feeling somewhat uneasy under the watchful eyes of his brother-in-law, put down his wine cup and asked, "Huaiyan, do you have something to say to me?"
He was calling Song Lingsu by his courtesy name.
Song Lingsu stood up, bowed slightly, and said, "Second Brother-in-law."
Qi Zhen: "..."
So serious?
He quickly partially returned the courtesy and said, "We are family, no need for such formalities, feel free to speak your mind."
