Ch 133: Paying Respects to His Highness Prince Xian
They waited for two quarters of an hour, and Yuan Xueyue gradually lost patience.
This was clearly a power move to put her in her place!
It seemed that Aunt Fang had said some things, making it even more unpleasant for Yuan Xiao to face his visiting daughter and the letter he knew about.
They hadn’t seen each other in years, and the first meeting was about divorce!
What maiden home would be willing to accept a daughter returned in such a way?
Moreover, the other party, the Guo family, was also powerful and influential, a family with high standards!
Cuiping saw that her Wife was apprehensive, and took a few steps closer to the door, shouting loudly,
“What kind of manners are these? Is the Prefect’s residence so large that there are no servants to serve tea?”
Her words, as expected, attracted a servant.
She came forward and gave a simple bow, “Oh! It’s Cuiping! It’s been years, and Miss has returned too.”
Cuiping frowned, “It’s you, Chunxin, have you become so ill-mannered?”
Chunxin smiled,
“Not at all, our Lucheng doesn’t have as many rules as the Capital City. We’re all locals here, and besides, Miss is also a Miss of this residence. Whether or not tea is served, I’m sure Miss won’t blame us, right?”
Cuiping scolded angrily, “How dare you! The General’s Wife is here, how dare you be so negligent!”
“So what if I am?”
A reply immediately sounded from outside the door. Fang Feng’ai entered, holding Yuan Ruiyu, the mother and daughter glaring coldly at Yuan Xueyue!
Fang Feng’ai said, “So the Eldest Daughter knows how to come back! Those who didn’t know would think you no longer had this family!”
Yuan Xueyue chuckled lightly, “If Aunt Fang knew that the Prefect’s residence didn’t even have a guest room for your daughter yesterday, you’d think the Prefect’s residence had fallen on hard times!”
Fang Feng’ai, “Good, good! Very good at talking back!”
Yuan Xueyue, “You flatter me, I learned from you.”
She had no patience for Aunt Fang, the culprit who had harmed her mother!
“Master isn’t here. Whatever you have to say, you can say it to me. I am, after all, the Madam of the residence, and also your Legal Mother.”
Fang Feng’ai sat down, and the servants immediately brought tea.
They also rudely placed a cup in front of Yuan Xueyue, a very shabby one!
The tea was murky, with a lot of residue!
Cuiping glanced at it, secretly fuming.
Yuan Xueyue glanced at it, smiled, and looked at Fang Feng’ai, who deliberately smiled back at her.
But little did she know, Yuan Xueyue immediately reached out and pushed the teacup away!
Clang, bang!
The teacup shattered, splashing all over the floor!
It also dripped onto Fang Feng’ai and Yuan Ruiyu!
Yuan Ruiyu said angrily, “Are you crazy!”
Yuan Xueyue calmly said, “I’m not crazy, Aunt Fang and you are the ones who are crazy, right?”
“What kind of garbage is this? It’s so shabby. Is the harvest in Lucheng so bad that even my sister is dressed so shabbily!”
Yuan Ruiyu was taken aback.
She then realized, seeing Yuan Xueyue’s clothes and attire, that she was completely dressed like a wealthy Wife!
She was completely out of place with their residence, and with the entire Lucheng Prefecture!
In a place like this, you wouldn’t see many people dressed like that all year round!
Yuan Ruiyu was extremely jealous, “It’s good enough that we gave you tea! You’re living such a good life, why would you need us to serve you?”
Fang Feng’ai straightened her thoughts, had the servants clean up the broken teacup on the floor, and said,
“What good manners! To actually break the tea that the master of the house bestowed upon you!”
Yuan Xueyue said, “Not as good as your manners, treating guests with such courtesy, it goes against the standards of a great residence.”
Yuan Ruiyu stretched out her hand and waved it,
“I don’t care about your manners! Where are the things you promised me? Hand them over!”
Seeing her shameless sister, Yuan Xueyue was well-prepared. She beckoned, and the guard behind her handed over a box!
Yuan Ruiyu impatiently took it and opened it!
“Wow! ……”
She couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly, but was quickly forced back by her mother’s glare.
Yuan Ruiyu calmed down, silently looking at the contents of the box in her hand!
It was a piece of raw jade, crystal clear and very bright!
And it was a very large piece!
It also came with two pairs of bracelets, equally stunning!
Completely different from what they could get in Lucheng, which looked dull and lackluster!
As expected of something from the Capital City, the quality was extraordinary!
Fang Feng’ai glared at her unstable daughter, thinking how Yuan Xueyue, sitting there, was so calm and composed!
“Such generosity, I presume you have something to ask of us since you’re back?” Fang Feng’ai went straight to the point.
◈◈◈
Yuan Xueyue smiled faintly,
“How could someone who has seen all my letters not know?”
Fang Feng’ai quibbled, “I haven’t seen anything! Don’t talk nonsense!”
Yuan Xueyue said, “Don’t beat around the bush, Aunt Fang. Where is Father?”
Fang Feng’ai, “……”
“I don’t know! Master went out a while ago. If you want to wait, then wait!”
Yuan Xueyue said, “Alright, then I’ll wait. The tea in your residence is truly precious, even I can’t afford to drink it.”
They ignored her and continued to examine the contents of the box!
It was indeed a beautiful treasure!
Yuan Xueyue didn’t really want to drink the tea here, who knows what they might have put in it!
But their attitude, she would remember it.
Let them enjoy themselves for now. Having accepted her gifts, it wouldn’t be so easy to refuse to help!
Inside the Lucheng Prince’s Residence.
Dai Yixian changed into complete, luxurious brocade clothing, radiant and with an imposing aura.
A servant led Yuan Xiao in.
Yuan Xiao, once again in this Prince’s Residence, was still amazed by the decor!
As expected of a Prince’s Residence, his Prefect’s residence was not on the same level at all!
“How much further?” After walking for a while, they still hadn’t reached their destination, and Yuan Xiao couldn’t help but ask.
The servant said,
“Lord Yuan, don’t worry, we’ll be there soon.”
At the end of a Covered Corridor, they passed through an archway, then entered a green area, and arrived in front of a pond beside a rockery.
Beside the stone table and chairs, Dai Yixian was sitting there!
Yuan Xiao took a closer look, so nervous that he could hardly speak properly. The closer he got, the more his body bent down.
“Prince, the person has been brought.”
The servant finished speaking and left.
Yuan Xiao saw Dai Yixian’s profile. Before he could react, Yuan Xiao immediately knelt down and kowtowed,
“Subordinate Official, pays respects to His Highness Prince Xian.”
At these words, Dai Yixian slowly turned his head and glanced over, his eyes slightly cold, his meaning unclear!
Dai Yixian’s tone was indifferent, “Take a seat.”
Yuan Xiao was startled, but still politely sat down at the stone table opposite Dai Yixian.
Tea had been poured into the teacups on the table, and the Teapot was gurgling and steaming!
Clearly, the servant had just prepared the tea, but there were only the two of them!
Yuan Xiao was shocked, he hadn’t expected the Prince to be so well-prepared!
Presumably, he had some important matter to entrust to him!
Thinking of this, Yuan Xiao felt a bit more respect, and said,
“I wonder when Prince came to Lucheng, and what important matter you have for this Subordinate Official?”
Yuan Xiao was secretly excited, feeling that good fortune was about to befall him!
Little did he know that Dai Yixian would say in a flat tone, “I summoned you here to talk about something that happened many years ago.”
At these words, Yuan Xiao was instantly petrified!
What?
“This Subordinate Official doesn’t understand, please enlighten me, Prince.” Yuan Xiao smiled, facing this spirited man, he could only lower his head and be humble.
“The case back then, it was this Prince and Lord Li who investigated it clearly, and gave the Yuan family justice.”
“Before that, your family’s former Wife was also implicated.”
