Cuiping brought the teapot over and poured her a cup.

"Girl, you can actually talk nonsense." Yuan Xueyue smiled slightly, feeling a little expectant.

As the wedding date approached, she recounted her past with Dai Yixuan, and there were always traces to follow.

The more she thought about it, the redder her cheeks became.

He, who was once the aspiring young prince, had actually been thinking about her for a long time.

Yuan Xueyue felt very warm.

The wedding is in five days, and the Yuan Mansion, which should be tense and busy, is now quiet.

Yuan Xueyue ordered Cuiping to go around the mansion and see if there was any other movement.

As expected.

Since the Yuan family was going to hold a big event to marry off their daughter, Yuan Xiao specially invited the elders of the Yuan family to a small family banquet.

Yuan Xueyue is indispensable for such a banquet.

When passing by other courtyards and seeing Fang Fengai, Yuan Xueyue found her very suspicious. The person who had always disliked her actually smiled and nodded to her.

Yuan Xueyue, “…”

After a while, she came over to change clothes and take a shower.

But when she was about to enter the bathhouse, Cuiping rushed in and shouted, "Miss, Miss!"

Yuan Xueyue frowned, "Why did you become so reckless?"

Cui Ping said, "Miss, this is the dress that Madam Fang arranged for you. She said you should wear something more colorful so that the elders of the Yuan family can have a look."

"And also said that it would avoid losing face in front of the elders."

Yuan Xueyue's eyes were filled with surprise. "Is that really what you said?"

Cui Ping nodded hurriedly, "Yes! That's what Madam Fang said. She also told you, young lady, not to wear these simple clothes. They don't look simple to me. They are all made of precious silk and satin."

"Miss, will you obey me? When you come out of the bath later, I will change you."

Yuan Xueyue hesitated.

She walked forward and picked up the clothes in Cuiping's hand. The satin was good, the material was exquisite, delicate and smooth, and the color was red with pink.

Such a bright red dress is not like Yuan Xueyue's style.

Her clothes are always light-colored, light gray, light blue, light yellow, light pink, etc. How could they be so red and bright?

"Wear it, of course you should. You should listen to Madam Fang's words."

Yuan Xueyue smiled faintly, with an ambiguous look in her eyes.

forecourt.

Five tables were set up to entertain the elders of the Yuan family. Yuan Xiao asked them to invite more relatives and friends to attend the banquet in five days.

Everyone was very happy and accepted it gladly.

Among them, there was one person who stood out. He moved among the group of elders of the Yuan family, holding a wine glass and walking around with a smile on his face.

This person is none other than the third son of the capital, Ren Zhaoxi.

He is still here.

Yuan Xiao urged and asked the servants several times to take him away from Lucheng, but he never thought that he would stay here.

An envelope from Lord Ren in the capital also arrived, specifically instructing Yuan Xiao to take good care of his third son.

Everything else was fine, Yuan Xiao looked at it with a smile, very satisfied!

Fang Fengai, who was standing by, looked around, searching for any trace of her. She asked in confusion, "The family dinner has already started, why hasn't Yuan Xueyue arrived yet?"

Yuan Ruiyu, who was sitting at the main seat, was surprised.

"What does her mother think she is doing? She can come or not."

Fang Fengai waved her handkerchief and said in feigned anger,

"What do you know? She is the eldest daughter of the mansion after all. This banquet for the Yuan family elders is all to support her wedding."

Yuan Xiao gave Fang Fengai a blank look and had nothing to say.

He didn't believe Fang Fengai was so kind, but he didn't know what she wanted to do, and he was too lazy to intervene. He continued to drink with his uncles and uncles with a smile.

Yuan Ruiyu, however, looked confused, thinking her mother had changed her ways. She asked, "Mom, are you really making so many decisions for her? What should I do then?"

Fang Fengai disagreed and said,

"Don't worry, Ruiyu. Mother is on your side and will always take you into consideration."

She said it insincerely, bit her lip and continued to look forward to the door of the backyard.

This made Yuan Ruiyu pout and feel extremely depressed.

Finally, a figure appeared at the door of the backyard. Cuiping and other maids led Yuan Xueyue out.

Yuan Xueyue stunned the whole audience in a light pink dress, and her elegant and simple makeup made her look radiant.

She walked slowly, like a spring breeze, beautiful and charming.

The elders of the Yuan family all smiled until their faces were wrinkled, and they couldn't help but exclaimed,

"Second Yuan, your eldest daughter is so lovely. She is so beautiful that she can shame the moon and the flowers."

"Hasn't she been married once? She still acts like a boudoir girl, not inferior to your second daughter at all!"

"Looking at it this way, Ruiyu looks like a beautiful girl from a small family."

"Your Yuan Xueyue is truly a lady from a noble family. No wonder she caught the eye of the Xian King!"

"Congratulations, Yuan Lao Er! It's an honor to be able to climb into the royal palace!"

Facing the elders' praise, Yuan Xiao just smiled and said, "Yes, yes, she has done well. Come, keep drinking. I hope that in five days, all the uncles will bring more people to support us."

Don't lose to the Wang Mansion, and don't lose face for the Yuan Mansion.

When Yuan Ruiyu saw this, her eyes widened and she rubbed them, filled with jealousy!

Why? She lived so well in the Guo Mansion and still looks so young now!

Yuan Ruiyu was so envious and jealous that she stared at him intently.

Who would have thought that Fang Fengai led the maid forward and said,

"Let's pay our respects to the elders of the Yuan family one by one."

Yuan Xueyue nodded in agreement, stepped forward and bowed to the elders, then was taken aside by Fang Fengai, and Cuiping was also sent away.

"This dress is wrong. It's not the one I gave you?" Fang Fengai asked in confusion.

Yuan Xueyue smiled and said, "Madam, you don't know my preference. I don't wear anything too bright red."

Fang Fengai said disdainfully, "If you say that, then on your wedding day, won't you be dressed in a bridal outfit, looking gorgeous and delightful?"

Yuan Xueyue smiled again, "It's just that the one you gave me is not pleasing to the eye. Is that clear?"

Fang Fengai, “…”

"Forget it, let's not talk about you. You should toast to each of your uncles later. Don't be negligent."

"They'll also have to worry about your wedding banquet later. Your father and I don't mind, it has to be held. They shouldn't treat us badly."

Hearing this, Yuan Xueyue said calmly, "This banquet was not my original intention. I hope Madam Fang and father will entertain them well. I don't like drinking."

As soon as she finished speaking, Fang Fengai handed over a cup from the side, stuffed it into Yuan Xueyue's hand and said, "Just go if I tell you to!"

"This is a banquet your father has carefully prepared for you, so that you can marry in style. Don't let your father down."

Yuan Xueyue looked indifferent as she looked at the wine glass in her hand and put it back on the table.

She still said,

"My wedding is approaching, so I really shouldn't be drinking or having fun. The Yuan family elders hope that Madam Fang, as the mistress of the Yuan Mansion, will take more care of the reception. Xueyue will take her leave."

After saying that, Yuan Xueyue turned around and was about to leave.

Fang Fengai grabbed Yuan Xueyue's hand and said anxiously, "No! You can't leave! How can you embarrass your father?"

"I'm already giving you face by letting me come." Yuan Xueyue shook off Fang Fengai's hand and said coldly.

The fact that she can get married in the Yuan Mansion, isn’t that enough to give face to the Yuan Mansion?
