The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 450 - 428: A Request

For this three-day homecoming banquet, Yuan Yindi specifically invited the top chefs from the Cuiyu Building in the Capital to their home.

This was possible because he had a high-ranking official position. Otherwise, even with money, it would be impossible to have the chefs from Cuiyu Building cook at home.

No matter when, the conveniences brought by status and position always exceed imagination.

And this is why, throughout history, everyone strives to climb higher.

Only when a person stands at a higher place can they appreciate more of the beauty and splendor of the world.

However, seeking higher status inevitably involves bloody battles along the way.

...

The homecoming banquet was lavish and remarkable.

The variety of dishes was ample and delicious, leaving the wives of Yuan Shoucheng and Yuan Shouxin envious. When they married into the Yuan Family, the food at their wedding banquet wasn’t up to this level.

As for the homecoming banquet?

Though their maternal families had some standing, they were not the favored daughters at home, so their homecoming banquets were pretty average!

Still, despite their envy, they didn’t make any trouble.

Early on, just after their marriages, they knew they had a particularly fortunate sister-in-law. Unfavored by her parents, she was transferred to Yuan Yindi’s name, and as a result, Yuan Yindi became the most capable among the five Yuan brothers.

Even more astonishing, their sister-in-law was granted a title by the Emperor.

A girl from an ordinary family surprisingly became a County Princess with her own fiefdom.

They didn’t understand the complexities, but they knew that if they could curry favor with this sister-in-law, they’d gain many benefits.

However, they were particularly instructed that this sister-in-law was very astute. If they couldn’t be genuine with her, they should stay far away and not provoke her.

Their advisors, of course, were their husbands. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

In Yuan Yindi’s eyes, Yuan Shoucheng and Yuan Shouxin among the brothers seemed like those with more ambition than capability. Yet, in truth, Yuan Shoucheng was not entirely useless.

At the very least, they firmly remembered one thing: to treat their little cousin sincerely.

If that wasn’t possible, then keep a distance.

After all, the cautionary example of Mrs. Xiao Li was a constant reminder for them, making it hard for them to forget deeply.

During the eight years when Yuan Bao accompanied Yuan Yindi and Ruan Wan to Yanmen County, Yuan Shoucheng and the others slightly had a dimmed memory of some events, until Mrs. Li gave a live demonstration.

Mrs. Li occupied Yuan Bao’s courtyard and even took over the newlywed courtyard of Yuan Yindi and Ruan Wan, nearly causing Yuan Yindi to sever ties with the family forever.

This incident reinforced the faded memories of the brothers, prompting them to repeatedly remind their own wives.

In fact, even without reminders from the Yuan Shoucheng brothers, their wives wouldn’t play any games with Yuan Bao.

Yuan Bao married Wei Wushang.

Wei Wushang is the legitimate eldest son of the main branch of the Wei Family, the future head of the Wei Family.

Yuan Bao is naturally the future Lady of the Wei Family.

Regarding the status of the Wei Family in Daxia, the Yuan Family, having migrated from Great Yin, might not have a clear understanding, but Yuan Shoucheng’s brothers’ wives, all born and raised in Daxia, certainly knew what the Wei Family represented.

Yuan Bao is to become the Lady of the Wei Family. Not to mention offending her, even making her slightly dissatisfied would attract enough trouble for them without her needing to lift a finger.

As the saying goes, when at home, rely on parents; when married, rely on husband.

Before Yuan Bao got married, she relied on Yuan Yindi and Ruan Wan.

Yuan Yindi is an Imperial Censor of two thousand stones, a court official second only to the Prime Minister.

Ruan Wan, titled by the Emperor as Beishan County Princess, comes from the Ruan Family, a top-ranking family in Daxia. Crucially, Ruan Wan’s maternal grandmother is the Eldest Princess.

With Yuan Bao’s background, anyone with common sense would seek to flatter her a little, wouldn’t they?

Hence, they couldn’t make sense of Mrs. Li’s and others’ actions.

Yet they were merely daughters-in-law of the Yuan Family!

In this family, they had the least voice.

The only influence they could exert was perhaps whispering a few words in their husbands’ ears at night.

They always hoped to get closer to this little sister-in-law but never had the opportunity.

This homecoming banquet finally provided some chances for the sisters-in-law.

Unfortunately, with elders present, they could only make tentative attempts, hoping for a future opportunity.
