Chapter 274
However, Yunwan's plan quickly fell through.
After his initial bewilderment, Duan Huaichuan quickly regained his composure and began talking to Shen Jun. His hands moved with renewed order and composure, as if the people sitting on either side of him were strangers.
Yunxi kept her head down, focused only on eating, and didn't even look up.
Yun Wan waited patiently for a while, but the two of them did not make any move, so she frowned.
Eat, eat, eat! Is this food really that delicious?!
My childhood sweetheart, whom I haven't seen in a long time, was sitting right next to me, but all he could see was a few bites of food!
Is that all the ambition you've got?
Yunxi ate her meal with her head down, but her mind was racing.
She knew, of course, that this arrangement was made specifically for her.
However, given that we don't know what Yun Wan's next move is, it's best to remain inactive.
If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either.
On the bright side, what if Yun Wan makes a move and I mess things up?
The idea was too absurd, Yunxi thought to herself with a bitter smile.
If only it were that simple.
Yun Wan was getting anxious when Pearl stepped forward and said, "Young Madam, let me serve you some tea."
Pearl is always meticulous in her work, but for some reason, tonight when she was adding tea, her hand trembled and the scalding tea spilled directly onto Yunxi's hand, causing her fair skin to swell up at a visible speed.
Yunxi couldn't help but cry out in pain. Pearl quickly took two steps back and knelt down with a thud: "Please forgive me, Auntie! I didn't mean to!"
Duan Huaichuan's expression changed, but before he could make any move, his view was completely blocked by a tall figure.
It was Shen Rang.
Shen Rang leaned slightly forward, looking at the injury on Yun Xi's hand: "Father, Mother, I'll take Xi'er downstairs to treat it."
Madam Zheng nodded slightly: "Go quickly."
After the two left, everyone quickly turned their attention back to them.
But Duan Huaichuan was still worried and would turn around to look every now and then.
Although you can't see anything.
Yun Wan took in his reaction and asked in confusion, "Why does Scholar Duan seem to be paying extra attention to our aunt?"
Duan Huaichuan's expression froze.
Yun Wan's sudden attack caught Duan Huaichuan off guard, leaving him momentarily speechless.
Yao Susu, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Let alone Duan Jieyuan, I also care about Auntie quite a bit. Why can't my cousin-in-law see me? She's only thinking about Duan Jieyuan?"
I've disliked that heartless cousin-in-law for a long time.
How dare they treat her marriage as a joke?
If it weren't for Yunxi, she probably would have really married that man who was a full twelve years older than her!
Therefore, Yao Susu is unwilling to let Yun Wan go at this moment.
Yun Wan's smile froze instantly.
Does Yao Susu mean that she is the one who is promiscuous?
Sure enough, as soon as Yao Susu finished speaking, both Shen Jun and Zheng Shi's eyes carried a hint of warning.
Meeting the gazes of the two, Yun Wan quickly said, "Duan Jieyuan is a distinguished guest of our family. As the young mistress of the family, I naturally have to pay more attention to distinguished guests."
This statement is so well-reasoned that no one would suspect anything amiss.
Yao Susu smiled and said, "I see. Duan Jieyuan is an honored guest, and I am just a burden who causes trouble. No wonder my cousin-in-law can't see me. It's really not my cousin-in-law's fault."
After Yao Susu finished speaking, she sighed dramatically, looking utterly dejected.
Luo was a fiery woman; she slammed her hand on the table and was about to stand up and yell at someone. But Yun Wan reacted faster, picked up her wine glass and said, "Cousin, what are you saying? It was indeed my oversight as your sister-in-law that upset you. Consider this glass of wine my apology to you."
After saying that, Yun Wan drank the wine in one gulp.
This glass of wine deprived Luo Shi and Yao Susu of their excuse to lash out, and the tense situation was thus suppressed.
The storm subsided before it even started, and Shen Jun and Madam Zheng's expressions improved somewhat.
