Chapter 303 - Visiting His Mother-in-law Officially (1)

Realizing they had arrived, Rong Yi and his body glanced at each other and walked out of the carriage. Seeing two rows of servants standing on both sides at the door, he was stunned.

“It’s indeed the Yin family, ostentatious and extravagant,” Xiang Lv whispered.

When the servants saw Yin Jinye, they all shouted with one voice, “Welcome the master Yin, master Rong and the little masters back home.”

Rong Yi and his body recognized old lady Yin standing at the gate at a glance. She was the same as in Qi Lan’s memory, not looking as gorgeous and charming as Yan Qiushuang, but born with gentle and dignified elegance. Her decent and generous smile would leave everyone a favorable impression.

“Grandma, grandma…” Seeing the old lady Yin, Yin Tao rushed toward her happily.

She squatted down with satisfaction and picked up little Yin Tao, “My little grandson, grandma missed you so much.”

Yin Tao pointed to Yin Sensen who was held by Yan Qiushuang, “Grandma, see my younger brother.”

She looked toward them with a smile.

Yan Qiushuang followed Yin Jinye to his mother’s side, “Long time no see, old lady. How you been?”

“Well, all good. I didn’t expect you’d come with them.” The old lady Yin smiled at her son, whom she had not seen for a long time. Then she turned to Rong Yi and said with the same smile, “Xiaoyi, it’s good to see you come home.”

Infected by her friendly smile, the bit of nervousness in Rong Yi’s heart quietly disappeared. He smiled, “Mother, good to see you too.”

The smile on her smile grew brighter.

The woman standing next to her smiled, “Old lady, maybe you should go in first and talk.”

“I’m so happy that I forgot that we’re still standing outside the gate. Everyone, please come in with me.” The old lady brought them indoor, “Knowing Ye’er would come home, the elders planned to receive you personally but I stopped them. My son didn’t need them to make such a grand ceremony. Moreover, our family seldom met and I don’t want them to disturb us.”

She said this to dispel Rong Yi’s misgivings. The elders’ absence was not because they didn’t like Rong Yi.

Yin Jinye agreed with his mother, “There is no need for extravagance.”

Although the Yin was the most eminent cultivation family in Dongtang, the decoration of its mansion was not unduly luxurious. Everything was simple, yet dignified. The children felt a serious atmosphere as entering the house, and they soon became quite.

Seeing that everyone was reserved, the old lady Yin smiled to Yin Tao, “Little Cherry, this is also your and your little brother’s. You can play as freely as you did in our Rong mansion.”

She turned to Rong Yi, “Xiaoyi, you too, don’t stand on ceremony. You can say whatever you want. Don’t worry. No one will blame you.”

The old lady Yin put the child down and patted him on the head, “Take your brothers to play outside.”

“OK.”

Yan Qiushuang handed Yin Sensen to Jiang Mu, who took two one-year-old children to play with Yin Tao.

The old lady asked curiously, “Who is the other child?”

Yin Jinye answered “Mother, I’ll explain to you later.”

“OK.” The old lady took them to take seats in the hall. After the tea was served, she let all the servants out of the hall, leaving only one woman to wait on them.

Then, the old lady Yin introduced the woman next to her to everyone, “Xiaoyi, she is aunt Xian, the wet nurse of Jinye, and also my good friend. She was responsible for taking care of my young children when I had no time and was busy with the whole mansion’s affairs. She participated the most in Jinye’s growing up. I remember that when Jinye was a child, he often took aunt Xian as his mother.”

Rong Yi immediately stood up, “Aunt Xian, it’s good to see you.”

Aunt Xian hurriedly replied, “Master Rong, please feel free. I’m only a maid.”

“Nonsense.” The old lady Yin pretended to be unhappy, “If you say ‘maid’ again, I will be angry.”

“Yes, madam. I won’t say that again.”

The smile on the face of the old lady Yin bloomed again.

Rong Yi asked curiously, “Where are the other wet nurses?”

Both the old lady Yin and aunt Xian were stunned, “Other wet nurses? Where did you hear it from?”

Yin Jinye snickered.

Rong Yi glared angrily at him, “So you lied to me saying that you had the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th wet nurse?”

Yin Jinye said, “Didn’t you already know I lied to you?”

“I thought you lied to me about your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th uncle…”

Old lady Yin asked curiously, “Why did Yinye lie to you?”

Rong Yi felt embarrassed to say.

Yin Jinye said lightly, “It was just a joke.”

“I didn’t expect my son could play jokes.” Old lady Yin smiled and changed the topic. She looked over to Bu Qi and others, “If I didn’t guess wrong, the masked man is Bu Qi, and the one sitting beside him is Xiang Lv. You are both Rong Yi’s disciples. Wow, Xiaoyi is so capable. You have taken in two disciples in Mahayana!”

Bu Qi and Xiang Lv stood up, “Old lady Yin, our greetings.”

“Save it. Feel free like home.” Old lady Yin turned to look at Rong Yi’s body, “You should be Xiaorong, right?”

Rong Yi’s body also rose to greet her.

She noticed the group of people was quite not used to the new environment so she did not keep them in the living room for long and let the servants take them to their own guest rooms to rest.

Yin Jinye, however, stayed at the hall, “Mother, there are some things I want to tell you.”

Hearing this, Aunt Xian left the room and closed the door for them.

There was a barrier in the hall, and the people outside could not hear the voice inside.

The old lady Yin took a sip of her tea, “It’s about Rong Yi, right?”

“Yes.” Yin Jinye sat down at his mother’s side, “With your intelligence, you should have notice3d that the present Rong Yi is very different from before.”

Old lady Yin laughed, “It’s far more than different. It feels like he has changed to another person. I still remember the first time I saw him. No matter who he saw, he showed fear and inferiority, just like a frightened bird. As long as anyone moved a little closer to him, he turned pale with fear and kept shedding tears like a little girl. Now he is so different. He was with a little nervousness seeing me and dared to look me straight in the eyes. But his face was supercilious and calm. He could not have changed so much even having suffered some kind of stimulation.”

Seeing his mother being so frank, he told her directly, “He did not change his temper because of stimulation, another soul lives in this body.”

The old lady Yin was not surprised at all, “He has been possessed his soul?”

“No.”

“How can you be so sure?”
