Chapter 532, Spread
After Yan Wenkai pulled Su Shiyu away, Yan Wenxiu looked at Yan Yishuang, Yang Xiuyun, and Li Zixin and asked with a smile, "Do you want to go downstairs for a walk?"
Yan Yishuang looked at the pedestrians on the street and felt that it was too crowded. She shook her head decisively: "Brother, I won't go down."
Li Zixin also said: "I'm too lazy to walk, so I won't go shopping. Besides, the floats are about to start the parade, so I won't be able to walk around for long."
In this way, only Yang Xiujun was left.
Yang Xiujun looked at Dong Yuanxuan and the others. Although she wanted to pursue Yan Wenkai and Su Shiyu, she was too embarrassed to go out alone with so many men from other places. She forced a smile and said, "Cousin, I won't go either."
Yan Wenxiu didn't try to persuade them much, but he was still a little worried about leaving only three girls in the restaurant.
Seeing this, Yan Wentao said, "Brother, you guys go down and have a look. I don't really want to move."
With Yan Wentao staying, Yan Wenxiu felt relieved: "Okay, we'll be back soon after we find Daohua and the others."
Soon, Yan Wenxiu and others left.
Yan Wenkai and Su Shiyu left alone, which made Yang Xiujun very worried. After hesitating for a moment, she walked over to Yan Wentao and sat down. "Cousin Wentao."
Yan Wentao was a little surprised by Yang Xiujun's approach: "Cousin Xiujun, is there something wrong?"
Yang Xiujun tried her best to sound natural and asked curiously, "Cousin Wentao, it seems like Cousin Wenkai is very familiar with Miss Su."
Yan Wentao glanced at her, just nodded, and said nothing.
Seeing him like this, Yang Xiujun said again: "I know that the Yan family and the Su family are good friends, but isn't it not good for cousin Wenkai to take Miss Su away alone?" She emphasized the word "alone".
Hearing this, Yan Wentao couldn't help but frown.
Yan Yishuang, who had been paying attention to this place, immediately sneered: "Cousin Xiuyun, you are meddling too much. Big Brother and Big Brother Su are here, and they didn't say anything. What do you have to say?"
Yang Xiujun immediately explained, "I'm not trying to meddle in anything. I just think that Cousin Wenkai's behavior is a bit unruly and unethical. He took Miss Su away in front of so many people, which is not good for Miss Su's reputation."
Yan Wentao frowned. "Cousin Xiuyun is in a serious situation. Wenkai, Hongxin, and I grew up together, and we are all very familiar with each other's sisters."
"Wen Kai has a very good relationship with Sister Su, Sister Dong, and Sister Zhou. They all call each other brother and sister. When they go out to play, it's inevitable that they have to take extra care of each other. Wen Kai taking Sister Su to see the lanterns is not a big deal, and it has nothing to do with reputation."
Yang Xiujun didn't quite agree with this. Even if they were from familiar families, they should avoid suspicion. However, she noticed that her third cousin, who was silent and reserved, seemed angry, so she immediately apologized, "Xiujun said the wrong thing. I just felt..."
Yan Yishuang was fed up watching from the side and interrupted her directly: "Cousin Xiuyun, don't always speak your mind. You don't understand the situation of our family, the Su family, and the Dong family, so don't express your opinions casually."
Hearing Yan Yishuang's merciless words, Yang Xiujun's face turned red.
Yan Wentao didn't want the situation to become too awkward, so he immediately tried to smooth things over. "Alright, Xiujun doesn't understand the situation either, but don't say things like that just now. If outsiders who don't understand the situation hear it, it will really damage the reputation of Wenkai and Sister Su."
Yan Yishuang glanced at Yang Xiujun and said nothing more. She turned her gaze to the street. When she saw something interesting, she would chat with Li Zixin from time to time.
Yang Xiujun and Yan Wentao were not familiar with each other and had nothing much to talk about. After sitting for a while, Yang Xiujun returned to Yan Yishuang and Li Zixin.
Yan Yishuang saw that Yang Xiujun was a little absent-minded, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Only today did she discover that her cousin Xiuyun had a crush on her fourth brother!
She really dared to think so.
She didn't even need to ask; she knew with her toes that her father and mother would not agree.
Although the Yang family was a Beijing official, they only had one fourth-rank official, the same rank as his father, and they were of no help to the Yan family in officialdom. In addition, because of what the Yang family had done in the early years, no one in the Yan family had a good impression of the Yang family.
Now, we only maintain a superficial relationship with the Yang family for the sake of my aunt. How could we allow the next generation to continue to marry into the Yang family?
These are fine, but what she can't stand the most is that cousin Xiujun insists on getting close to Fourth Brother and Sister Su. Anyone with a discerning eye can see what Fourth Brother feels for Sister Su, and cousin Xiujun still wants to get close to them after knowing it, which is a bit shameless.
Yan Yishuang looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street with a dazed look on her face.
Seeing Yang Xiujun's appearance, she couldn't help but think of her past self.
He tries to seize things that do not belong to him, fails to put himself in the right position, and thinks he can hide his inner thoughts, but he does not know that his restless behavior makes him look like a clown in the eyes of others.
Just as Yan Yishuang was thinking about this, Yan Wentao saw someone selling lanterns on the street. They looked good, so he went downstairs and bought a few.
"Third sister, here!"
Looking at the rabbit lantern in front of her, Yan Yishuang was a little dazed. She seemed to have never received a gift from her third brother before. Of course, she had never given one herself either.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Yan Wentao asked in confusion, "You like rabbits, right?"
Yan Yishuang came back to her senses and took the rabbit lantern with a smile: "Yes, I like rabbits."
Yan Wentao smiled and said, "That's good. When there's a chance, Third Brother will get me a pair of real little white rabbits."
Yan Yishuang was somewhat flattered: "Thank you, Third Brother."
Yan Wentao smiled and handed two ordinary lanterns to Li Zixin and Yang Xiuyun, then stood by the window again.
Yan Yishuang was holding a rabbit lantern, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
Did the third brother buy her the lantern because she just spoke up to defend the fourth brother?
Although there are reasons for this, it feels really good to be taken care of by my brother.
On the other side, the crowded crowd on the street had gradually been evacuated, and Daohua came to Dong Yuanyao under the escort of Xiao Yeyang.
Seeing that Sun Changze was still holding a lamppost, Xiao Yeyang gestured to Defu and helped him put the lamppost down.
"Are you okay?"
Dong Yuanyao looked at Sun Changze anxiously.
Sun Changze's forehead was covered with sweat. He forced a smile and shook his head: "It's okay."
Daohua: "Let's go find a clinic."
Dong Yuanyao nodded repeatedly.
Sun Changze was about to say no when Xiao Yeyang spoke up, "Okay, let's do it." Then he looked at Defu and asked, "Is there a clinic nearby?"
Defu thought for a moment and said, "It's on the next street."
Xiao Yeyang: "Okay, let's go over there."
Not long after, Daohua and others arrived at the clinic.
Because of the pushing and shoving just now, many people were injured, and the clinic was very lively at the moment.
After waiting for a while, it was Sun Changze's turn to treat him.
While Sun Changze was receiving treatment in the inner room, Daohua, Dong Yuanyao and Xiao Yeyang were waiting in the lobby.
During this time, several sons of officials seemed to have been injured and came to the clinic for treatment. While waiting, they chatted in the hall.
"Have you heard that Prince Ping made his concubine his principal concubine a few years ago?"
"Of course I haven't heard of it. My father heard everyone talking about it as soon as he went to the government office at the beginning of the new year."
"Your information is too behind the times. This matter has already spread throughout the capital."
"Alas, the young prince is in a terrible situation this time. I heard that the concubine who was promoted to the main wife has a son who is older than the young prince. The eldest son of a concubine has become the eldest son of the emperor. I am afraid that the title of the prince will not be given to him in the future."
"Maybe not. After all, the young prince is the legitimate son of the wife."
"Tsk, in ordinary families like ours, even the legitimate son of the wife might not inherit the family business, let alone the royal family. Think about it, the young prince has stayed in Zhongzhou for several years. What does this mean?"
"That means he's not favored by Prince Ping. He's an unfavored legitimate son who hasn't been around since childhood. It's strange that Prince Ping would favor him when considering the heir."
"Furthermore, the young prince has been in Zhongzhou all this time and has received no royal education in recent years. How can he compare to the eldest son of a concubine who stayed in the capital?"
"I think the young prince is quite powerful. His aura alone is terrifying."
"That's because you're not used to seeing things. The young prince might be considered excellent here, but when he returns to the capital, he's far inferior to those princes and grandchildren who have received a good royal education."
After hearing these words, Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang with some concern.
Xiao Yeyang knew her worries and gave her a reassuring smile, but when he glanced at the people who were talking, his eyes were a little cold.
When he attended the Dong family's banquet yesterday, he noticed that the officials were no longer as respectful to him as before.
Haha, he finally understood what the book said, 'When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down'.
But, his wall hasn't fallen yet.
