The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 449 - 427: Some Rejoice, Some Sorrow (Part 2)
Regarding the fact that her biological father and mother were unwilling to attend Yuan Bao’s three-day return banquet, Yuan Yindi had always been bothered. He even considered cutting off contact with Yunyang City.
Now, with Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng bringing people over, the gloom in Yuan Yindi’s heart naturally dissipated instantly.
"Shoucheng, Shouxin, go outside and welcome your little cousin and cousin-in-law!"
After being invited into the house by Yuan Yindi, Old Yuan promptly gave orders.
Yuan Yindi had no objections to this.
It was perfectly reasonable to have Yuan Shoucheng and Yuan Shouxin greet them.
Today, Wei Wushang came over to accompany Yuan Bao for the three-day return, as a son-in-law of the Yuan Family. Naturally, he had to follow the Yuan Family’s rules.
On this day, the hierarchy must be according to the Yuan Family’s side.
Of course, in other situations, everyone adheres to their own.
The marriages arranged in the court really mess up the hierarchy. So, exactly how to rank, you must adapt to the circumstances and handle it with care.
Yuan Shoucheng and Yuan Shouxin, following their grandfather’s instructions, naturally went out quickly to welcome Yuan Bao and Wei Wushang.
Before they left, Yuan Yindi specially reminded them not to take the identity of this cousin-in-law too seriously and to speak and behave cautiously.
The reason he specially reminded them was that Yuan Yindi was worried the two brothers would lack discretion.
Although Wei Wushang wouldn’t do anything, it’s uncertain if other members of the Wei Family might see things differently.
After Yuan Shoucheng and Yuan Shouxin went out, they exchanged a glance and didn’t take Yuan Yindi’s words seriously.
In their view, since Wei Wushang had married Yuan Bao, he was their cousin-in-law.
They, speaking of which, were Wei Wushang’s brothers-in-law.
Of course, because of Wei Wushang’s status, they wouldn’t go overboard. They were hoping that through Wei Wushang, they could secure a governmental position for themselves.
If they couldn’t secure a position through Yuan Yindi, they weren’t going to hang themselves on this one tree.
As the saying goes, when a tree moves, it dies, but when a person moves, they thrive.
"Second Brother, do you think our cousin-in-law is easy to talk to?"
Yuan Shouxin walked beside Yuan Shoucheng, asking quietly.
"How would I know?"
Yuan Shoucheng shrugged, "Our cousin-in-law’s reputation isn’t well known. Throughout these years in Yunyang City, when have you ever heard anyone talk about his affairs?"
"I haven’t heard anything, either!"
Yuan Shouxin nodded, "However, on the day Jiaojiao left, didn’t you bump into our cousin-in-law?"
"Just a glance, I didn’t even say a few words to him!"
Yuan Shoucheng thought of Wei Wushang’s appearance at that time, with his expression slightly serious, "Anyway, my personal feeling is that our cousin-in-law is somewhat similar to our little uncle!"
"No way?"
Yuan Shouxin’s expression instantly turned a bit glum, "If he’s like our little uncle, wouldn’t he be very difficult to talk to?"
"Who cares, we’ll know once we meet him!"
Yuan Shoucheng waved his hand, not dwelling on the issue.
In fact, he also felt quite conflicted inside.
On one hand, he wanted to use Wei Wushang’s connections, but on the other hand, he was somewhat embarrassed.
In his opinion, even if he managed to obtain a position through this method, he would still feel inferior to Wei Wushang in the future!
The two brothers stopped whispering and soon reached a street intersection, where they saw Wei Wushang approaching on horseback.
The two of them quickly stepped forward and led him into the lane.
Then, having received the news, the Yuan Family lit firecrackers.
Wei Wushang stood by the carriage, helping Yuan Bao down, and the two walked side by side into the courtyard.
Yuan Bao, although only over ten years old, was already approaching 1.6 meters in height, with a development speed that was indeed a bit fast.
However, because of this, when she stood with Wei Wushang, the age gap seemed much smaller.
At first glance, everyone would think that these two were really a match made in heaven.
After they brought people into the house, there were various formal greetings.
Then, Yuan Bao was taken away by Ruan Wan, while Wei Wushang was left in the front hall to chat with Old Yuan and the other men of the Yuan Family.
As for the return banquet, it was not yet time.
Once inside the back room in the courtyard with Ruan Wan, Ruan Wan instantly transformed into a gossip queen, enquiring about Yuan Bao’s situation after marrying into the Wei Family, especially Wei Wushang’s attitude towards her.
"Everything’s great!"
What could Yuan Bao say?
Though she had the mentality of an adult, discussing the private interactions between a couple still made her feel shy, so she simply said nothing.
Every question, she just said it was good, and if asked again, she would still say it was good.
Anyway, everything was just fine!
Mrs. Zeng, who was listening, saw Yuan Bao’s clearly shy yet joyful expression and just chuckled softly.
"Good, good is good, now grandma can be completely at ease!"
Mrs. Zeng and Ruan Wan were in a very good mood.
However, someone was in a bad mood.
Mrs. Xiao Li!
As Yuan Bao’s biological mother, seeing Yuan Bao married so well now, she, as her mother, couldn’t even share a bit of the glory. How could she be in a good mood?
However, she couldn’t show the slightest hint of displeasure.
Yuan Bao now was no longer the little girl she could manipulate at will as she did in her childhood.
Not to mention her identity as Princess Jiafu, just as the Young Madam of the main house of the Wei Family, the future matriarch of the Wei Family, any of these positions were beyond her reach.
Even Yuan Zhaodi’s current success with the Yuan Family’s Cheap Food Shop was supported by the towering tree of the Wei Family, allowing for its flourishing business throughout Daxia.
Mrs. Xiao Li now completely understood that her daughter was destined for a fortunate life.
Regrettably, she realized it too late.
She once had the best opportunity in the world placed in front of her, but she didn’t cherish it.
Once she lost it, she regretted it deeply.
Yet, there is no medicine for regret in this world.
