Phi-Fic Chapter 223 Speechless
Chapter 223 Speechless
She immediately looked at Yuan Peishan and said, "It's okay, we're all family. Come and sit down. It's been a while since we last talked about family matters!"
Seeing Yan Xiaojun inviting her to sit down like a host, Yuan Peishan felt extremely upset. However, when she thought about what happened just now, she realized that she had done something wrong.
Who made her only care about venting the anger in her heart and deliberately leaving Yan Xiaojun aside? She treated Yan Xiaojun coldly first, and she didn't take the opportunity to show her ability and find her own faults, which made her speechless. Now she can only swallow this bitter fruit, and swallow it with a smile.
Yuan Peishan narrowed her eyes slightly, and then she came to sit beside Yan Xiaojun, then looked at Yan Xiaojun and said, "What sister-in-law said is true. She has been busy with Shuya's wedding recently, and she must be very busy! Now that Wanrong can get sister-in-law's help, it must be her blessing."
Seeing Yuan Peishan say this, Yan Xiaojun's lips curled up slightly with a smile, and then looked at her and said: "Sister-in-law, you are joking. What I did is really not worth mentioning. But Wanrong is marrying His Royal Highness Prince Rui. The things at this wedding are naturally not comparable to Shuya, so this wedding..."
Before Yan Xiaojun could speak, Yuan Peishan stood up and interrupted her.
"Sister-in-law, the old lady has given you full authority to take charge of Wanrong's marriage. You can't just refuse to handle it just because Shuya doesn't marry as well as our Wanrong!"
Listening to Yuan Peishan's words, Yan Xiaojun's face instantly darkened. She had wanted to save some face for Yuan Peishan, but she had not expected her to say such words. In this case, don't blame her for being merciless.
Yuan Peishan also felt that what she said was inappropriate. Looking at Yan Xiaojun's gloomy face, she suddenly looked annoyed. Now Wanrong's affairs still needed her to come forward. If she offended her now, it would be difficult to deal with!
Yuan Peishan picked up the handkerchief and gently covered her mouth to hide her embarrassment. Just as she was about to speak to save the situation, she heard Yan Xiaojun speak directly:
"Since my sister-in-law has said this, I can't continue to interfere in this matter. After all, my Wanrong is just marrying into the Xie family. The standard of drug manufacturing is far different. This marriage is Wanrong's lifelong event. If it is messed up by outsiders, wouldn't it be a betrayal of my sister-in-law's trust! When Shuya got married, the family gave a gift, and the rest was contributed by me.
Originally, our two families had already separated and established their own families. Wanrong's marriage should not have been borne by the Duke's Mansion, but she had a good grandmother who was willing to let the Duke's Mansion bear part of the responsibility. Since the old lady had spoken, I naturally had to obey. So I prepared a set for Wanrong just like when Shuya got married.
Therefore, when Wanrong gets married, the remaining part will be paid by yourselves. If you insist on letting me take charge, that's fine too. I'll have to take on more responsibilities when the time comes, but I'll still be able to arrange things properly. After all, Wanrong is my niece, isn't that right, sister-in-law? "
Listening to Yan Xiaojun's clear and logical words, Yuan Peishan was speechless. However, if she was asked to prepare these things, she would naturally feel unwilling.
However, since Yan Xiaojun had already said it, she naturally would not take over the past. Without the support of the Duke Dingguo Mansion, it was conceivable how shabby Wanrong's wedding would be. This was not what she wanted to see. When she thought that Jiang Wanrong might become the laughing stock of Kyoto, Yuan Peishan was unwilling to accept it in her heart. She immediately looked at Yan Xiaojun and said:
"Sister-in-law, I'm afraid you can't say that. Wanrong's marriage was personally agreed to by the old lady. If you don't care about it, and the old lady finds out, I don't know how you will explain it to her!"
Hearing Yuan Peishan using the old lady to pressure her, Yan Xiaojun couldn't help but laugh. She immediately looked at Yuan Peishan and said sarcastically, "The old lady wants me to take charge, but a good cook can't cook without rice. Without the ingredients, even if I have the intention, I don't have the strength! Don't you agree?"
Besides, the old lady now just needs to enjoy her old age. She has long stopped asking about trivial matters in the mansion. Are you really prepared to have no contact with the Dingguo Mansion until you die? If so, it is not impossible! "
After listening to Yan Xiaojun's words, Yuan Peishan finally realized that Yan Xiaojun was no longer someone she could control. Jiang Hongtai's career was getting narrower and narrower. Without the support of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, their family would be even more helpless. Now, they were in an unpleasant situation with the Duke Dingguo's Mansion because of Wanrong's marriage. If Jiang Hongtai knew about it, she would be dead!
After thinking all this over, Yuan Peishan's face became so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. She had thought that she could make a fortune from Wanrong's marriage, but now it seemed that not only did she not gain any benefit, but she would lose a lot of things. Wanrong also suffered because of this. It was really a case of losing both the wife and the army!
The current situation will not allow them to regret. No matter what, they still have to marry Wanrong off in a grand manner. As for future matters, they will just have to take it one step at a time!
Thinking that the current situation still needed Yan Xiaojun's intervention, Yuan Peishan couldn't help but smile as she looked at her, and then looked at Yan Xiaojun flatteringly and said:
"What Sister-in-law said is true. We are all honored to have the Duke's Mansion come forward. How can we expect the Duke's Mansion to help us pay? These are our responsibilities. We, the Second House, will certainly cooperate with us. I am sorry to trouble Sister-in-law. Come on! Go make tea and snacks for the Duke's wife!"
Seeing Yuan Peishan's expression change faster than turning the pages of a book, Yan Xiaojun was really stunned. No wonder she had always been led by Yuan Peishan in the past. With her current thoughts, she was afraid she still had a lot to learn. Suppressing the disgust in her heart, Yan Xiaojun stood up directly, then looked at Yuan Peishan and said:
"No need. It's getting late when I come out, so I'll go back first. If you want Wanrong to have a grand wedding, it's better to prepare early. After all, there's not much time left for you! You'll have to take care of yourself in the future!"
Yuan Peishan suppressed the sinister look in her eyes and nodded slightly in agreement. As she watched Yan Xiaojun leave without looking back, a trace of murderous intent flashed in Yuan Peishan's eyes. She didn't know how Yan Xiaojun, who should have died long ago, could become healthier and healthier, and manage the Duke Dingguo's Mansion in such an orderly manner. This really caught her off guard.
