The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 425 - 412: A Magpie in the Nest (Part 2)

"I know, I know!"

Old Yuan didn’t continue sitting on the heated brick bed but hurriedly got down to go outside and greet them.

Mrs. Zeng also didn’t stop him but joined Old Yuan, leaving the room to welcome Yuan Yindi and his group in the courtyard.

"Your unfilial son is here to kowtow to his parents!"

Yuan Yindi was truly filial; upon seeing Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng, he immediately knelt and kowtowed to the elderly couple.

In these eight years, Yuan Yindi’s visits home were few and far between, and each time he came and went in a hurry.

After all, he was the Yanmen County Governor, his duties didn’t allow him a moment’s negligence.

As Yuan Yindi knelt, Ruan Wan, Yuan Bao, Yuan Shouqian, and Yuan Shousun also followed suit and knelt.

"Quickly get up, quickly get up, it’s freezing cold, hurry up!"

Old Yuan stepped forward and helped Yuan Yindi up.

Mrs. Zeng stepped forward and helped Ruan Wan up.

As for Yuan Bao and the two younger brothers Yuan Shouqian and Yuan Shousun, they naturally stood up without needing assistance.

The group quickly went inside.

"Dear grandson, come, let grandpa have a look, haha, not bad, grown so sturdy!"

"Dear grandson, have you missed grandma?"

Upon entering the room, Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng each held Yuan Shouqian and Yuan Shousun’s hands, showing great affection.

Yuan Yindi and Ruan Wan watched this with joy in their hearts.

As for Yuan Bao, she stood happily to the side.

In fact, by this time, Yuan Bao had come to understand something; in this family, the ones who truly treated her well were her little uncle and Ruan, followed by her two younger brothers Yuan Shouqian and Yuan Shousun.

As for the others, they didn’t really treat her that well.

Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng had been kind to her before, but their kindness was not because she was their granddaughter, but because her existence could change the fate of the Yuan Family and bring them great prosperity.

Regarding her cousins, on the surface, they treated her pretty well, but they didn’t really think highly of her.

In the past, Yuan Bao didn’t understand.

But when she looked at the Yuan Family from an outsider’s perspective, she came to fully understand.

Previously, when she was with the Yuan Family, because of Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng’s attention, she, as a girl, had enjoyed special treatment that her gender shouldn’t have, a treatment that in other families was absolutely reserved for boys.

To many ordinary families, girls were considered a loss-maker.

Why should a loss-maker eat better than boys?

With Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng suppressing from above, the people below had to put on a good facade. But in their hearts, they were definitely not convinced.

This discontent was very mild at first.

However, as she distanced from Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng, and as the Yuan Family grew more prosperous, her status in their hearts naturally diminished over time.

During this period, if someone occasionally said something negative about her, how could the increasingly aging Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng still think of Yuan Bao?

However, Yuan Bao never had a special view or resentment towards Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng because of this.

After all, when she was very young, it was due to Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng’s special care that she received those privileges.

A drop of water in kindness should be returned with a fountain of gratitude.

As for now, the Yuan Family had already enjoyed great prestige, and she had also repaid the elderly couple’s kindness.

As for what the future holds?

Well, that’s something only heaven knows.

Precisely based on this thought, Yuan Bao didn’t mention the feeling of neglect she experienced on her last visit to Yuan Yindi and Ruan Wan.

Yuan Bao had good intentions and didn’t want unrest at home.

Unfortunately, Yuan Bao overestimated human nature. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Back when Yuan Yindi and Ruan Wan got married, it was in this mansion where they had their bridal chamber. In this mansion, there was the courtyard of their bridal chamber.

Ruan Family had prepared furniture for Ruan Wan and Yuan Yindi’s newlywed bridal chamber, all placed in the bridal chamber courtyard.

But unfortunately, this courtyard is now occupied by Mrs. Li.

This Yuan Bao was unaware of.

Yuan Yindi and Ruan Wan also didn’t know.

In the past eight years, Yuan Yindi and Ruan Wan had returned several times, but each time they didn’t stay overnight, only paying their respects to Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng before hurrying to the Capital.

Yuan Yindi had to go and meet Emperor Xia, while Ruan Wan had to visit her parental home.

Due to this reason, Yuan Yindi and Ruan Wan were unaware that their newlywed courtyard had been unexpectedly occupied by Mrs. Li.

This time, Yuan Yindi returned to the Capital, taking up the position of the Imperial Censor.
