Chapter 405: Concubine
This Yunzhi is the most capable maidservant beside Old Madam Meng.
"My dear Madam," Yunzhi replied with a smile, "It was the old lady who sent me here to invite you and the girls. The banquet is ready."
"Okay, go back to the old lady, we'll be there in a moment."
"Yes, then I will take my leave first." Yunzhi smiled, bowed again, and left.
After Yunzhi left, Meng smiled and said to Liu, "Sister Liu, our old lady knew that You'er saved Fei'er and insisted on holding a banquet to thank her. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid you would refuse."
Liu said hurriedly, "Sister Meng, how can this be allowed? You'er is just a junior, how can we ask the elders to hold a banquet to express our gratitude?"
"Why not?" Meng smiled and said, "Fei'er is the apple of our old lady's eye. As our old lady said, no thanks are too much. Let's go. I'm afraid the old lady is anxious to see You'er."
Liu knew that she couldn't refuse, so she went to Old Lady Meng's courtyard with Meng. Liu was happy in her heart. In this way, You'er would be more favored by the elders of the Huo family, and her life would not be difficult in the future when You'er married into the Huo family.
Yuan Ziyou followed Meng and Liu into Old Lady Meng's courtyard. She first met Old Lady Meng, and then saw the women from the second and third branches of the Huo family were also there. As soon as they met, Old Lady Meng quickly embraced Yuan Ziyou, lovingly stroking her hair and saying with a smile, "You are a courageous girl. This time, it was thanks to you that Fei'er was saved. I, an old woman, must thank you very much."
"You are too kind, old lady." Yuan Ziyu said with a smile.
Old Lady Meng smiled and hugged Yuan Ziyu. She had always liked Yuan Ziyu, and now with this, she loved Yuan Ziyu even more. Huo Jiao, who was standing aside, was jealous and secretly despised Yuan Ziyu's scheming.
Now, the only unmarried girls in the Huo family are the sixth girl Huo Yan, the seventh girl Huo Xian, and Huo Wan.
Huo Jiao was already married, and today she happened to be back to her parents' home to visit Yu Shi. She came along knowing that her grandmother was having a banquet.
She also heard from Yu that Yuan Ziyu saved Huo Xifei. Huo Jiao always felt that Huo Xifei's situation at that time must not be very dangerous. Otherwise, why did so many people fail to find him, but Yuan Ziyu, a girl, found him? Even if Yuan Ziyu had good kung fu skills, could she really compare with those men who had fought with real swords and guns on the battlefield?
In her opinion, this must be a trick played by Yuan Ziyu, the purpose of which is to consolidate his position in the Huo family in the future.
But she didn't dare say these words out loud. Now, whether it was her grandmother, uncle or aunt, they were all grateful to Yuan Ziyu, not to mention her cousin. She didn't want to make things awkward for herself.
However, Huo Jiao was a little worried. Her cousin was determined to marry her eldest cousin. She was already 19 years old, but still refused to get married. When asked to get married, she started to make a fuss, saying that she would not marry anyone except her eldest cousin. Her uncle and aunt were at a loss as to what to do, and even her mother was worried about it.
Yu looked at Yuan Ziyu with complicated eyes. This girl was a stumbling block for her niece. With her around, her niece would never be able to marry Huo Xifei.
Now, this girl's position in the Huo family is more solid.
Yu was really worried. Her niece was a stubborn person who only thought about Huo Xifei. Now she was getting older. If she couldn't marry Huo Xifei, she would have to be brought into the Huo Mansion as a concubine.
But their Yu family... although they are not a wealthy family, they have never had a daughter who became a concubine. What should they do?
My dear cuties, I really can't finish it today, so I'll post a small chapter first. I'll try to update 6,000 words tomorrow, muah!
