The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 426 - 412: A Magpie in the Nest (Part 3)

This Winter Solstice coincided with Yuan Yindi’s leave, so the two decided to return to Yunyang City. While resting, they could also spend more time with Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng.

As a result, by the time evening drew near, Yuan Yindi showed no sign of returning to the Capital, causing Mrs. Li to become a bit unsettled.

"Brother-in-law, aren’t you and your fifth sister-in-law going back today?"

Mrs. Li was feeling a bit anxious at this moment, "I see the day is getting late, and if you don’t hurry, it’ll be dark soon!"

"I heard that the gates of the Capital close as soon as it gets dark!"

"Sister-in-law, no rush today!"

Yuan Yindi smiled slightly, "I haven’t had time to come back and chat with my parents these past few years, so this leave of two days is perfect!"

"Good, good!"

"Xiao Wu, since you’re not in a hurry to return to the Capital, let’s have a good drink today!"

Old Yuan’s face lit up with joy upon hearing that Yuan Yindi wasn’t returning to the Capital.

"Ah...?!"

Upon hearing Yuan Yindi’s words, Mrs. Li’s expression changed, and she hurriedly said, "Fifth Uncle, why didn’t you say so earlier?"

"I’ll go instruct someone to prepare the room for you; this is quite a commotion, ayaya, it’s almost dark, and I haven’t even prepared the bedding for you!"

Mrs. Li quickly spoke, stood up, and was about to walk out.

"Sister-in-law, no need for the trouble!"

Ruan Wan laughed cheerfully, "We brought bedding with us this time. Just have the heated bed prepared, and it’ll be fine. It’s no trouble at all!"

Since their return was a last-minute decision, and considering the family might not have prepared any bedding, Ruan Wan arranged for bedding to be brought along.

"Alright, alright, I’ll have someone heat the bed right away!"

Mrs. Li still hurried off.

She occupied the courtyard meant for Yuan Yindi and Ruan Wan’s wedding. Now that they’re back, they certainly can’t just find a random place to stay, especially since, to this day, the entire mansion remains under Yuan Yindi’s name.

Once Mrs. Li left, she immediately called over half of the maids in the courtyard to have them quickly move the belongings inside.

Since she had taken over Yuan Yindi and Ruan Wan’s courtyard, she had placed many of her things in there.

If Yuan Yindi and Ruan Wan were to see it, there’s no telling how angry they might get.

Mrs. Li well understood this point.

After Mrs. Li left for a moment, Ruan Wan also mentioned it to Mrs. Zeng and led people to move the bedding. These matters are best handled by one’s own people.

Thus, Ruan Wan witnessed the scene of Mrs. Li ordering things to be moved.

Seeing this scene caused Ruan Wan’s expression to change.

By this time, how could she not understand that, while they were away, their wedding courtyard had been occupied by Mrs. Li.

In other words, either her dowry bed was moved by Mrs. Li, or it was occupied by her.

No matter which situation, Ruan Wan found it intolerable.

"Ruan!"

Yuan Bao realized this point only after Ruan Wan left, and hurried over, just in time to see Ruan Wan trembling all over. He quickly stepped forward to support her arm.

"Don’t act on impulse!"

Yuan Bao held onto Ruan Wan, fearing that she might rush out to confront Mrs. Li.

"Jiaojiao, has your courtyard been occupied as well?"

Held by Yuan Bao, Ruan Wan quickly calmed down and turned to look at Yuan Bao.

Yuan Bao nodded slightly and said, "My courtyard was occupied by Cousin Shouxin and his wife!"

"Where did you sleep when you returned last time?"

"In a small courtyard at the back!"

Yuan Bao smiled faintly.

"This is too much!"

"How can they do this?"

Ruan Wan was practically seething with anger!

This mansion originally belonged to Wei Wushang. Saying it was sold to Yuan Yindi, it was more like Wei Wushang gave it to Yuan Yindi for Ruan Wan’s sake.

According to Wei Wushang’s intent, even if the mansion was Yuan Yindi’s, it was like a bridal gift for Ruan Wan.

In other words, this mansion was essentially Ruan Wan’s dowry.

"Ruan, don’t be angry!"

Yuan Bao pulled at Ruan Wan, "Even if you want to settle this with Uncle, you should wait until we’re back in the Capital."

"Why?"

"Ruan, Uncle has always felt indebted to Grandfather and Grandmother. If you cause a scene now, won’t it just make Grandfather and Grandmother uncomfortable?"

"At that time, how do you want them to handle this matter?"

"These years, while we weren’t in Yunyang City, it was Aunt and them showing filial piety here."

Yuan Bao understood all of this and that’s why he stopped Ruan Wan.

Yuan Yindi and Ruan Wan had always been loving, and if such trivial matters led to a falling out between the couple, it would be truly not worth it.
