The Sickly Scion's Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

Chapter 543 - 543 Yuan Yuwan Strikes Back



543 Yuan Yuwan Strikes Back

The news that there was a change in the engagement between the Yuan and Xiao families flew out like wings after a banquet between Old Master Yuan and Earl Rong.

Earl Rong’s residence began to prepare the betrothal gifts with great fanfare, as if they were afraid that others would not know that Earl Rong was going to remarry for the fourth time.

When the news reached the Xiao family, General Xiao was so angry that he almost beat Xiao Qirui up again. He only gave up when he saw him lying on the bed sickly.

Madam Xiao was also tough this time. She quickly reorganized the people in the residence. Xiao Ruoqian, who had eavesdropped and spread the scandal in the family, did not have a good time.

Because of this matter, in order to suppress the rumors, the Xiao family directly carried the betrothal gifts to the Yuan residence and sent them to the Yuan family’s old residence. They quickly set the wedding date to be a month later.

Actually, their marriage should have been scheduled three years ago when Yuan Yuwan became an adult. However, the wedding was postponed because of Pavilion Elder Yuan’s sudden death.

As for what needed to be prepared, they had already prepared it, so it was not a rush.

On the other hand, the Yuan family was completely dumbfounded. In order to please Earl Rong, Old Master Yuan almost handed over Yuan Yuwan’s invitation with both hands. Now that the Xiao family did not want to cancel the marriage, where could he find a second Yuan Yuwan to marry into Earl Rong’s residence?

Moreover, everyone knew that Earl Rong’s residence was going to hold a wedding. Earl Rong’s residence was embarrassed and was unwilling to fight the Xiao family head-on.

They could not possibly compete.

He could only find trouble with Old Master Yuan.

Old Master Yuan was a classic example of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. He didn’t even dare to fart when people found problems with him. In shock and fear, he ran straight to the old residence to vent his anger on Yuan Yuwan.

He heard that Yuan Yuwan had gone to the Xiao family’s residence and guessed that she had done something to make the Xiao family change their minds.

Yuan Yuwan looked at Old Master Yuan, who was so angry that his face turned red. She sneered in her heart, but she still got someone to serve tea. After he finished cursing, she reminded him indifferently.

“That day, I said that I would wait for the Xiao family to break off the engagement. Father couldn’t hold it in and insisted…”

The anger that had subsided a little soared again. He slapped the table. “How dare you? I’m doing this because I’m afraid that you, this unfilial daughter, won’t be able to get married and embarrass our Yuan family.”

The Yuan Family’s reputation?

Yuan Yuwan felt that this was the funniest joke she had ever heard in her life.

She slowly used the tea lid to gently float the tea leaves. She took a sip and said, “Father, I’m afraid you’re thinking too much. Earl Rong only wants an official wife, he’s not in love with me.”

Old Master Yuan’s expression darkened. “What do you mean?”

Yuan Yuwan smiled. “It’s just on the surface. Father can just let him marry an official wife.”

“That’s right. Why didn’t I think of that?” Old Master Yuan’s eyes lit up and he was enlightened.

This way, not only would the Rong family not feel embarrassed and cause trouble for him, but he could also be in-laws with the Rong family.

After figuring this out, Old Master Yuan stood up and walked out.

“Father, I’m afraid the concubine’s daughter won’t be able to satisfy Lord Rong.” Yuan Yuwan reminded him calmly.

Old Master Yuan paused and turned to look at Yuan Yuwan with narrowed eyes.

Yuan Yuwan raised her head and looked into his eyes. She smiled and said, “Father doesn’t want to become enemies instead of allies with Lord Rong, right?”

A chill ran down Old Master Yuan’s spine under her gaze. He shivered in the hot day.

In the beginning, he was indeed prepared to marry off his concubine’s daughter. If Earl Rong felt that he was humiliating him…

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Old Master Yuan’s forehead.

“Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to get you a doctor?”

Yuan Yuwan’s cold voice brought him back to his senses. He stared at her for a long time before turning around and leaving.

Yuan Yuwan lowered her eyes and quietly spent ten minutes before getting up and going to the study. She took out the zither that Yuan Leyao had broken and gently wiped it. She sighed and said, “Grandfather, don’t blame me for being heartless.”

Shen Yijia knew that after the Xiao family sent the betrothal gifts to the Yuan family, she brought the guilty Xiao Ruoshui to see Yuan Yuwan once.

Apart from occasionally sending Sister Huan and the others to school to visit Madam Qiu, she was extremely busy the rest of the time.

Lin Shao, Pinellia, and the others returned, but Bruiser stayed in Qingyang City.

Not only that, but they also brought back ten other people.
