"What do you mean?" Yun Xian's eyes widened. "Mother, you mean... now this illegitimate daughter is..."
"That's right, she is the real Yun Mian, Su Fan's biological daughter." Miao Fengxian said calmly.
Yun Xian took a long time to come back to her senses and was surprised: "She didn't die outside."
"Isn't this better? We have already eliminated her mother. How can a little bitch like her who just came back from outside really cause any trouble in the Prime Minister's Mansion? What's more, now she can only live in the mansion with the title of an illegitimate daughter. It's ridiculous." Miao Fengxian felt refreshed when she thought of this.
Yun Xian's expression relaxed as she laughed heartily, "Haha, it's truly pathetic that a daughter of the prime minister's family can only return as an illegitimate daughter."
However, at this moment, Miao Fengxian's close confidante Aunt An walked in from outside the door.
With a strange look on her face, she walked between Miao Fengxian and Yun Xian, bowed, and said, "Madam, Fifth Miss, Father just announced in the mansion that he would be holding a recognition banquet for Miss Chun'er."
"What?" Yun Xian's eyes widened in shock. "She's an illegitimate daughter, why should she have a coming-of-age party? Yun Mian didn't even hold one back then."
Yun Mian had already chosen the prince and set a date for the wedding, but later due to the tense war on the border, it was difficult to arrange it and it was put on hold.
But what qualifications does Chun Mian have to hold a daughter-recognition banquet now? She is just an illegitimate daughter.
Miao Fengxian also had an unpleasant expression: "What did the master say?"
"The master said that the matter of holding a coming-of-age party would be discussed in detail in the living room during lunch. Now he probably informed us so that we can be mentally prepared." Aunt An replied respectfully.
Miao Fengxian asked her personal maid to leave, and looked at her newly done hair and makeup with a lost mood: "I know."
"Mother, Chun Mian has been staying in the Pear Garden for the past two days and has not come out. She is guarded by four tall and strong maids. People sent to inquire about the news are not allowed to enter. It's just right that today we can go and see what this little bitch is like." Yun Xian didn't take Yun Miao seriously at all.
On the dinner table.
Yun Qi, Yun Jian and Yun Wu, who were rarely seen, were also there, as well as Yun Ze, who looked quite haggard.
Yunze has been cleaning Su Fan's grave in the villa these days, and now he has been recalled because of the matter of his illegitimate daughter.
He is no longer interested in anything about the Yun family. After all, after Su Fan's death, there is basically no place for him in this family.
Yun Xian arrived late. Looking at the empty seat at the table, she smiled sarcastically, "What? She's just an illegitimate daughter, and you're making everyone wait? Butler, why don't you have the servants prepare the food and serve it to the table first?"
"Yes, Miss!" After the butler left.
Yun Qi, Yun Jian and Yun Wu on this side looked at Yun Shengzhi above with puzzled eyes.
Yun Qi asked respectfully, "Father, when did you... have an illegitimate daughter? How come I've never heard of it before?"
Yun Jian and Yun Wu both had the same puzzled look on their faces.
"Ahem, this is a long story. Anyway, all you need to know is that Yunchun is your seventh sister." Yun Shengzhi did not intend to explain the origin of Yun Miao. After all, most illegitimate daughters were the result of a one-night stand, so everyone would think so without further explanation.
Seventh sister?
A flash of contempt flashed across Yun Jian's face. "We let Sixth Sister go at it, but this illegitimate daughter's origins are unknown. It's hard to say if she's Daddy's child. Daddy, we won't accept it so quickly."
"That's right, and Dad, are you really going to hold a daughter-recognition party for an illegitimate daughter? Won't the whole capital laugh at our Yun family then?" Yun Wu was also very dissatisfied.
It was Yun Ze, who had been silent in the corner, who spoke up: "Since you have become the heir of the Yun family, then all arrangements should be made according to your father's will. There is no need to target a lonely girl like this."
"Yun Ze, you may have forgotten that a daughter who lives away from home cannot control her character even if she is a legitimate daughter. Now that the Second Prince's wedding is over, your good sister has made our Yun family a laughing stock in the noble circles of the capital. So, what qualifications do you have to butt in here?" Yun Jian said unhappily.
Speaking of this, Yunze's expression suddenly became gloomy: "My sister was wrongly accused."
"Humph, it's unfair. She seduced other men on her wedding day. The judge personally verified it. Is it true? She is so shameless." Yun Wu also spoke.
"Say it again!" Yunze slammed the table and stood up, his cold eyes locked on Yunjian and Yunwu's noses. In an instant, the two men were on the verge of a war.
"Enough!" Yun Shengzhi said sternly, "No one is allowed to mention this matter again! After all, Yun Mian is now the Second Prince's Consort. If you bring this up, you're slapping the Second Prince in the face, and it's also detrimental to the Prime Minister's residence. Mian'er will be returning home this afternoon. If anyone brings this up again, get out."
Only after Yun Shengzhi spoke did the noise at the dinner table stop.
But at the same time, a woman's sweet laughter came from the door: "Oh, it's quite lively in the middle of the day!"
The woman was wearing a cyan cotton-padded skirt with a furry white collar, which accentuated her vibrant beauty. Behind her was a tall, unassuming maidservant with a cold expression, looking at everyone in the room with neither arrogance nor servility.
Yun Miao's disguised face is that of a beautiful girl next door. It is not outstanding, but it is also the type that is pleasing to the eye.
As soon as she appeared on the stage, she won the attention of the whole audience.
Yun Xian looked up and down at Yun Miao, then showed a bit of contempt. She was not that good looking, not even one tenth as pretty as Yun Mian.
Suddenly I felt that the threat to me was greatly reduced.
Yun Shengzhi sat at the head of the table, looking at the family who had arrived, and then announced, "Okay, now that everyone is here, let's get down to business."
He was surprisingly tolerant of Yun Miao's lateness.
This was something that Yunqi, Yunjian, Yunwu and Yunxian had not expected.
"Daddy, the dishes are already on the table. The whole family is waiting for her. How can she, who is so uncultured, be worthy of eating with us?" Yun Xian said unhappily.
But Yun Miao walked directly to the vacant chair and sat down, looking at Yun Xian with a very sweet smile: "If you want to sit alone, there is no need to go through so much trouble. Anyway, I don't like to eat at the same table with noisy people."
"Who are you calling noisy?" Yun Xian widened her eyes in anger.
Yun Miao had already slowly and methodically arranged the dishes on the table. "Tea!"
"Yes, Miss!" The cold maid behind her walked directly to Yun Shengzhi and poured tea for Yun Miao in front of everyone.
Everyone: “…”
So arrogant.
