The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

534 Incident (1)

If it was a special medicine, they could go to the medical center to find out who had bought it recently.

However, the Hundred Withered Grass was not the same. On the contrary, the Hundred Withered Grass could be seen everywhere like weeds, but many people did not know that its sap was poisonous.

Therefore, it was easier said than done to investigate.

After hearing Shen Yijia’s explanation, Xiao Ruoshui’s face fell. “Then what should we do?”

Shen Yijia pursed her lips and did not say anything. She could not think of a good solution.

In her opinion, Xiao Qirui was hopeless. What she needed to think about now was how to get Yuan Yuwan out of this matter and not get hurt.

However, Xiao Ruoshui still felt that as long as Xiao Qirui broke up with Feng Man and married Yuan Yuwan, everyone would be happy.

There was no need to add to her troubles.

Since she had already said so, Shen Yijia could not betray her.

However, neither of them expected that paper could never hide fire.

The August day was still a little stuffy.

Yuan Yuwan stood in the main hall. She only needed to take a step back to see the bright sunlight, but she felt as if her entire body was covered in ice.

A coldness seeped out of her bones.

Master Yuan and Madam Yuan, who were sitting in the high hall, were talking.

She couldn’t listen to a single word. The only thing that echoed in her ears was two words: annul the engagement!

“Unfilial daughter, didn’t you hear what I said to you?” Master Yuan shouted, pulling Yuan Yuwan back to reality.

She secretly clenched her fists and looked up at Master Yuan. She said indifferently, “Who told Father that the Xiao family is here to annul the engagement?”

“So Sister doesn’t know yet?” A girl in green standing beside Eldest Madam covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said in surprise, “But I heard that Eldest Young Master Xiao would rather suffer the family punishment and kneel in the ancestral hall for a few days to break off the engagement with Sister!”

As she spoke, she seemed to mutter in confusion, “Isn’t Sister on good terms with Miss Xiao? Why didn’t she even tell you about this?”

Yuan Yuwan glanced indifferently at the woman who spoke.

The Second Madam had a son and a daughter, Yuan Leyao.

Ignoring Yuan Leyao’s sarcasm, Yuan Yuwan looked at Master Yuan in the high hall. “So? What do you want me to do about this?

It turned out that he had said all that for nothing.

Master Yuan was furious. He said righteously, “Your grandfather helped you arrange your marriage when he was still alive. The Xiao family has delayed you for so long. How can they cancel it just like that?”

Hearing these dignified words, a trace of mockery flashed across Yuan Yuwan’s face. She waited quietly for him to continue.

Master Yuan felt a little embarrassed under her gaze. He coughed lightly and turned his face away, indicating for the stepmother to speak.

The Second Madam laughed dryly and went forward to shake Yuan Yuwan’s hand.

Yuan Yuwan dodged to the side.

The smile on the Second Madam’s face froze. She said awkwardly, “Your father’s heart ached for you. Just now, he even wanted to look for the Xiao family to seek justice for you.”

Yuan Yuwan sneered. “Did Father go?”

The Second Madam choked. Of course he didn’t go!

Not only did he not go, but when he heard about this, the first thing that came to his mind was whether Yuan Yuwan had done something to offend the Xiao family. He wished he could bring her to the Xiao family to apologize.

He only heaved a sigh of relief when he found out from Yuan Leyao that Eldest Young Master Xiao had fallen in love with another woman.

There was no need to say anything else. The stepmother rubbed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and explained, “I persuaded him. Yuwan, don’t blame me.”

“Things are really different now. The Xiao family is not someone our family can afford to offend. However, don’t worry, our family isn’t easy to bully. If they really come to annul the engagement…”

“If they really come to annul the engagement, what benefits do you want from the Xiao family? I heard that Third Brother owes a lot of money in the gambling den… Oh right, Father has been a small Hanlin official in the Hanlin Academy for so long. It’s time for you to move up, right?” Yuan Yuwan continued.

What a joke. He said so much because he was afraid that she would go to the Xiao family to cause trouble!

Yuan Yuwan didn’t let go of the furious expression on Master Yuan’s face. She sneered in her heart. Her biological father had never disappointed her.

The Second Madam smiled awkwardly and said, “Child, no matter what, Chang’er is still your younger brother. Moreover, your father’s official position has been moved up, so no one in your husband’s family will dare to bully you in the future. Your father is doing this for your own good!”

It seemed that they had already discussed who she would marry before she returned!
