The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

535 Incident (2)

Yuan Yuwan’s heart sank, but she didn’t show it on her face. “Then let’s talk about it after the Xiao family breaks off the engagement.”

With that, she bowed to Master Yuan. “I’m a little tired, so I’ll go back first.”

Seeing that she was leaving just like that, Master Yuan was so angry that he slapped the table. “This unfilial daughter has read so many books. If not for the fact that she’s useless and can’t even hold a man’s heart, I wouldn’t have lost my dignity with her.”

Yuan Leyao’s eyes flashed. “Father, don’t be angry. Sister must be feeling terrible too.”

The Second Madam also went up to calm him down. “That’s right, Master. Yuwan has been spoiled. It’s normal that she can’t accept the news that the Xiao family wants to annul the engagement. She’ll definitely understand you in the future.”

As she spoke, she gave Yuan Leyao a look. Yuan Leyao understood and bowed, leaving the couple alone.

“Sister, why are you walking so quickly?” Yuan Leyao jogged over and blocked Yuan Yuwan’s path. She no longer put on an act like before. Instead, she looked like she was gloating.

Yuan Yuwan knew these monsters of the Yuan Family very well. If she didn’t let Yuan Leyao finish mocking her, she probably wouldn’t be able to have peace for a long time.

Yuan Yuwan stopped in her tracks and looked up at the sun hanging in the sky. The light was so glaring that she almost cried.

“Sister, you definitely don’t know why Eldest Young Master Xiao broke off the engagement with you, right?” Yuan Leyao sneered. “I’ve heard that he fell in love with a commoner woman. I heard that Eldest Young Master Xiao fought back and taught that woman how to read and write. Really, a man and a woman alone. How good is their relationship?”

Yuan Yuwan admitted that she had been indifferent to everything since she was young, but when she thought of that scene, her heart couldn’t help but ache.

“After all, Sister knows everything. Eldest Young Master Xiao won’t be able to experience these joys from you.” Yuan Leyao shook her head sympathetically. “Unfortunately, Sister, there was originally a good marriage, which made the sisters in the family extremely envious. This is unexpected.”

She paused for a moment and thought of something fun. She chuckled. “But don’t worry, Sister. Father and Mother have already thought of a way out for you. When the Xiao family breaks off the engagement, they’ll marry you off to Earl Rong’s residence. In the future, you’ll be the wife of an earl, not inferior to the Young General’s wife.”

Earl Rong’s residence was in-laws with the Prime Minister’s residence, and the Prime Minister’s residence was Consort Liu’s maternal family. Therefore, Earl Rong’s residence belonged to the Eldest Prince’s faction.

Of course, this was not the main point. The main point was that Lord Rong was already in his fifties this year. He had married three main wives before this, and all of them died of an illness a few years later.

Anyone who cared about their dignity or doted on their daughter would not let their daughter marry him.

Unfortunately, the Yuan family could really do such a thing.

As Yuan Leyao spoke, she observed Yuan Yuwan’s expression. Seeing that her expression was indifferent, she sneered. “It’s just that Lord Rong is a little old. His eldest son seems to be a year older than Sister, right? However, it’s fine. Old people dote on others.”

Yuan Yuwan finally looked at Yuan Leyao and frowned. “Second Sister seems to have reached marriageable age, right?”

Yuan Leyao did not know why she suddenly asked this, but she still said proudly, “I only reached adulthood last month. I’m not like Sister, who’s already…”

With a serious expression, Yuan Yuwan said, “That’s right. You’re already of marriageable age. You’re no longer a young girl. How can you not know what you can and can’t say? Do you think it’s appropriate for a young lady to say that?”

“You…” Yuan Leyao’s expression changed. She also felt that she had been too frivolous just now. Her expression changed a few times, and she said angrily, “My mother will control me if I say anything wrong. Unlike you, who killed your own mother at birth…”

“Second Miss, please be careful with your words.” Yuan Yuwan’s personal maidservant, You Bai, said in surprise.

A slap sounded loudly.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Yuan Leyao covered her face in disbelief. “You, you b*tch, how dare you hit me!”

She raised her hand to slap her back, but before she could do so, Yuan Yuwan grabbed her wrist.

“Second Sister, don’t provoke me. Otherwise…” She leaned over and whispered something in Yuan Leyao’s ear.

Yuan Leyao’s eyes widened and she staggered back two steps. “How did you…”

Yuan Yuwan let go of her hand and said coldly, “If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it.”

“I don’t say it because I feel disgusted, but if you talk about my mother again, I don’t know what I’ll do.”
