Ch 163: Inviting the Eldest Miss Back to the Residence

She lowered the curtain, her expression calm.

Cuiping noticed and spoke,

“Miss, what are your plans for the future?”

“After the separation from the Guo family, Master didn’t even wait for you and left directly. It’s too much!”

“Going to Lucheng, are we going back to the Yuan family?”

“This servant is afraid we’ll be driven out.”

Cuiping didn’t want to return to the Yuan Residence. The Miss didn’t like it there, and neither did she!

Yuan Xueyue said, “We’re not going back.”

Even before the separation, her father had disliked her, allowing Aunt Fang to scold and neglect her!

Now that they were separated, would she rush back to suffer?

She would never lightly step through the gates of the Yuan Residence!

“Miss…” Cuiping saw the melancholy on Yuan Xueyue’s face and reached out to comfort her hand.

Yuan Xueyue also smiled and squeezed her hand, saying,

“It’s okay. I have some silver, and with Prince Xian traveling with us, they will also be in Lucheng.”

“If there’s anything amiss, I’ll have to trouble you to seek help from Lord Xiaozhao.”

At these words, Cuiping’s face stiffened, and her ears instantly turned red!

“Miss, please don’t tease this servant. It’s not good to keep troubling the Lord!” Cuiping turned her head away in embarrassment.

These days, Cuiping had been constantly telling her how good Prince Xian was, and Yuan Xueyue was helpless.

Now that Yuan Xueyue was saying it, Cuiping knew her ears couldn’t take it!

Yuan Xueyue smiled, “Why not? The Lord is so considerate of you, always thinking of you.”

“This fabric, I didn’t give it to you. It was clearly the Lord who secretly chose it for you!”

“And this bracelet, why are you suddenly wearing such a nice one? You little maid, did you think I wouldn’t know?”

Cuiping lowered her head in shame, feeling mortified!

“No! It’s just that Prince Xian insisted on choosing the best for you. The Lord was afraid I wouldn’t match up to you, Miss, so he also matched some better ones.”

Yuan Xueyue was startled, “…”

In the end, it was still him.

“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore.” Yuan Xueyue waved her hand to stop.

Time flew by, and they arrived in Lucheng.

Lucheng was the main city of this land, and Prefect Yuan Xiao was stationed here!

It was also a hundred miles from the Frontier, the most crucial location!

It was considered one of the border defense areas and the primary place for providing supplies and soldiers to the front-line battlefield.

And the renowned Prefect Yuan here was Yuan Xueyue’s father, Yuan Xiao!

Who would have thought that Yuan Xueyue was also a glorious Eldest Miss, but now, with this identity, she could never return to the position of that pampered Eldest Miss.

Ever since the decline of her mother Madam Liu’s family…

Last time, she came with a heavy task. Now, Yuan Xueyue was relaxed, carrying a vision of the future.

They got off the Carriage and passed by an Inn.

Xiaozhao and the others instructed the Shopkeeper of the First Inn to choose a superior room for Miss Yuan to stay in!

Yuan Xueyue understood and bowed to Dai Yixian.

Dai Yixian turned back and smiled faintly,

“You stay here for now. We’ll slowly plan for the future. After this Prince finishes some matters, I’ll come find you.”

Yuan Xueyue nodded, “Yes, farewell, Prince Xian.”

The Shopkeeper and the Pages all knew that the person who came was wealthy and noble, and had even climbed up to Prince Xian!

And this Miss Yuan, besides the one surnamed Yuan in Lucheng, who else could it be?

But it was definitely not that spoiled Second Young Mistress of the Yuan family, Yuan Ruiyu!

“Presumably, Miss, you are the Eldest Miss of the Yuan family who has been rumored to have separated from the Guo family recently?”

“Please come in!”

The Page led the way, and several servants and guards followed.

With such an entourage, no one dared to be negligent!

Yuan Xueyue nodded slightly in response, knowing that the news from the Capital City had spread so quickly to Lucheng!

Presumably, it was also her father’s intention.

◈◈◈

Did he want her to retreat in the face of difficulties?

She was no longer of any value to her father, so what benefits did he still want to gain?

She didn’t want to have anything to do with the Yuan family anymore.

After a long and arduous journey of more than half a month, Yuan Xueyue rested briefly in the Inn for a day.

The next day, the Inn welcomed people and a Carriage from the Yuan Residence!

Chunxin led two Maids and several servants upstairs and inquired at the door of the superior room!

It made Yuan Xueyue in the room feel noisy!

“Open the door quickly. Our Master invites the Eldest Miss back to the Residence.” Chunxin, dressed beautifully, said with a charming smile.

The guards refused, still blocking with their hands!

The servant also shook his head, not letting them in!

Chunxin had no choice but to shout,

“Eldest Miss! Since you’ve returned to Lucheng, you might as well return to the Residence. Master misses you very much!”

“You see, what separated daughter doesn’t return home?”

“Even if you’re willful, Master still thinks of you!”

Yuan Xueyue in the room, “…”

Separated by a door, they kept shouting.

Even the passing Pages who inquired were scolded away by Chunxin!

Cuiping was upset. She got up, opened the door, and said coldly,

“Where did this servant come from, disturbing our Miss’s rest? Get lost! Don’t wait until the Miss gets angry and throws you out!”

Cuiping pretended not to know Chunxin and scolded her as soon as she came out.

Chunxin smiled and said, “Cuiping! Isn’t your Miss our family’s Eldest Miss?”

“It’s not a solution for her to wander outside like this. She’s separated, so she should return to the Yuan family. Master will find her a good husband.”

Every word showed that the Yuan family wanted to control the separated Yuan Xueyue!

Cuiping was furious. She put her hands on her hips and said, “Get lost! Our Miss has already…”

“Cuiping.”

Yuan Xueyue came to the door, interrupted Cuiping, and glanced at the smug Chunxin, saying,

“Chunxin, go back and tell Master Yuan that I won’t go back. So what if I’m separated?”

“From the day I married into the Guo family, Master Yuan broke off relations with me. Madam Fang also told me not to return to the Residence unless necessary.”

“Why now, are you saying such things as finding a good husband?”

“I dare to ask, who gave you the courage to send a servant like you to fetch me back?”

Chunxin was startled, thinking that the Eldest Miss was now eloquent and difficult to deal with.

But she was also sent by Madam Fang and the Master, so she naturally had the right to come!

“I was ordered by the Master and Madam to invite Miss back!”

“Naturally, I’m a bit bolder. Miss, you’ve been separated by the Guo family. Why are you still shamelessly wandering outside? Which woman doesn’t go home to honor her parents? It’s just you…”

Slap!

Yuan Xueyue angrily slapped Chunxin.

Yuan Xueyue looked at Chunxin coldly and said,

“Even if I’m no longer the Yuan family’s Miss, a servant like you has no right to tell me to go back!”

“Besides, you keep calling me Miss. Is this the attitude you have when inviting me back?”

“I’ll say it again, so what if I’m separated? It’s not like I was divorced. I didn’t expect my father to create rumors to force his daughter to go home.”

“And he sent a disgraceful servant like you to criticize the Yuan family’s Miss. Someone! Drive them away!”

A mere Chunxin didn’t have the right to order her back!

She was separated, not divorced!

Yuan Xiao was spreading his daughter’s affairs in Lucheng, wishing for the Family Shame to be known to all, and to become a laughingstock!
