572 Leaving in Anger (3)
As she spoke, she inserted the jade hairpin into Yuan Yuwan’s bun and clapped her hands. “It’s indeed beautiful. Mo Yuan, what do you think?”
Mo Yuan didn’t miss the shock in Feng Manman’s eyes. She nodded. “Yes.”
This wasn’t the first time Feng Manman had flaunted Xiao Qirui’s gift, but Yuan Yuwan never took it.
However, this time, she did not expose Shen Yijia. She stroked the jade hairpin and smiled. “Concubine Feng has always had good taste. It would be impolite of me to decline.”!!
Feng Manman tightened her grip on the handkerchief. She didn’t expect Yuan Yuwan to really accept it. The corners of her mouth twitched as she said, “Brother Xiao has good taste.”
Shen Yijia glanced at Feng Manman. “The jade hairpin is beautiful, but the most important thing is that Sister Yuwan is good-looking. She’ll look good even with a wooden hairpin.”
She didn’t target Feng Manman’s appearance, but that was what Feng Manman thought.
She was so angry that her face twisted under her veil.
Yuan Yuwan tried to smooth things over. “Concubine Feng, if there’s nothing else, sit down and talk to me.”
Feng Manman had suffered at Shen Yijia’s place twice in a row and did not want to stay. She was about to postpone something when someone grabbed her wrist.
She froze.
Mo Yuan stood up and made way.
Shen Yijia pulled Feng Manman over and sat down. She smiled and said, “There are still many snacks here. Don’t you think they’re delicious? Eat some before going back.”
Feeling the temperature on her wrist, Feng Manman was shocked. Before she could react, Shen Yijia had already retracted her hand.
Since she had already sat down, it wasn’t appropriate for her to leave. Feng Manman could only lower her head and thank her.
At this moment, You Bai returned with a food box. When she saw Feng Manman, she immediately put down the food box and stood behind Yuan Yuwan.
Mo Yuan walked over and said something to her. You Bai looked at Feng Manman awkwardly, then at Shen Yijia. In the end, she nodded and left with Mo Yuan.
Feng Manman asked uneasily, “What’s wrong with them?”
Shen Yijia waved her hand indifferently. “Oh, Sister Yuwan’s snacks are too delicious. Mo Yuan ate too much just now.”
Seeing that they were indeed going in the direction of the reception room, Feng Manman didn’t suspect anything.
The general’s residence was not decorated exquisitely like the more extravagant officials. This place looked neat and orderly. The only decoration was a few rockeries or green plants neatly planted on both sides of the road.
Up ahead was the reception room. Mo Yuan stopped in her tracks and said, “My stomach hurts. It might take a little longer. Wait for me here.”
There was a rockery in front of her. You Bai could lean against it and rest.
Although Shen Yijia was around, You Bai still did not want to leave Yuan Yuwan for too long. She urged, “Then Sister Mo Yuan, go quickly.”
After watching Mo Yuan walk into the reception room, You Bai found a place to sit down. Not long after, she started to fall asleep.
“Wake up!” A voice sounded in her ear. You Bai stood up with a shudder. Seeing that it was Mo Yuan, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Sister Mo Yuan, are you alright? Then let’s go back quickly. You don’t know how annoying Aunt Feng is…”
Mo Yuan looked at her strangely. She wanted to protect others with this level of vigilance?
Miss Yuan probably protected her more often.
When the two of them returned to the waterside pavilion, Feng Manman happened to walk out with her maidservant. No matter what, Aunt was considered half a master. Mo Yuan followed You Bai and made way.
When she walked past the two of them, Feng Manman frowned. It wasn’t until they left Splendid House that she said, “Did you smell the fragrance on Madam Song’s maidservant just now?”
The maidservant shook her head. “No.”
Didn’t Madam Song say that they had gone to the banquet hall just now? How could they smell good when they came out of the banquet hall?
“But why do I smell the incense from my room on her?”
“It’s coming from you, right?” The maidservant smiled and said, “I should have it on me too.”
“Is that so?” Feng Manman shook her head and thought to herself that she was thinking too much.
Shen Yijia ate lunch at the Xiao family’s house before leaving.
Looking in the direction of the courtyard door, Yuan Yuwan took off the jade hairpin on her head and held it in her hand. She suddenly asked, “Where has Young General been resting these past few days?”
This was the first time Yuan Yuwan had asked about Xiao Qirui. Usually, when she wanted it to mention Yuan Yuwan, she would stop her.
You Bai only thought that Shen Yijia had persuaded her young lady and that her young lady had finally decided to fight for it.
She was first delighted, but her face fell when she thought of something. “In the beginning, Young Master rested in the front courtyard. Later on, that person from the Magnolia Courtyard ran to the front courtyard with some soup. I don’t know what he said, but Young Master has been resting there for the past few days.”
After saying that, she spat. “I’ve never seen her so shameless.”
“Alright.” Yuan Yuwan interrupted her helplessly and handed the jade hairpin to a maidservant beside her. “When Young General returns from the military camp tonight, go and invite him over for dinner.”
You Bai was stunned for a moment before realizing that she had not heard wrongly. She agreed happily. “Yes.”
Three days after the wedding, Xiao Qirui went to Yuan Yuwan’s room every day to sleep on the floor. He could tell that she was uncomfortable, so he didn’t go again.
However, every day when he returned to the residence, he would still subconsciously walk to the entrance of the Splendid Courtyard, but he never dared to step in.
