Chapter 469 There is a conspiracy
Yuan Yunwaning didn't want to go to the banquet.
But Yun Zhensong, the old father, is obviously old and not very smart now.
She actually took Yun Wanning's disgust for him as a sign of happiness for her, and happily told Mo Ye... Yun Wanning immediately decided: She has to attend this birthday party!
She is Yun Zhensong's "own daughter", how could she not attend her old father's birthday party?
Therefore, the day before the birthday banquet, she enthusiastically entered Duke Yun's mansion.
Yun Zhensong wanted her to come to his birthday party, but now Yun Wanning is here...
Instead, he was afraid again.
"The birthday banquet will be held tomorrow, what is she doing here today?"
Yun Zhensong, who was sitting in the study, asked anxiously.
The butler Chen Bo stood aside and felt uneasy, "I don't know, I don't know! Princess Ming didn't explain her purpose of coming, she just said she came to see how the birthday banquet was being prepared..."
"Would she care about this?"
No matter how he thought about it, Yun Zhensong felt that it was wrong.
He stood up and said, "Why do I always feel that she has bad intentions?"
Uncle Chen touched the sweat on his forehead and said cautiously, "Master, to be honest, I also have such a guess!"
The name Yun Wanning is like a nightmare to everyone in the Duke Yun's family.
There was Aunt Chen who was easily defeated, and later there was Yuntinglan who married into the Three Princes' Mansion and became a concubine.
This mother and daughter have been famous in Yun Guogong's mansion for many years.
It's okay if Yun Wanning didn't take action, but when he did, mother and daughter were "annihilated"!
Even Yun Zhensong is now very afraid of Yun Wanning!
Once this stinky girl turns her back on her, she won't give her old father any face at all!
"I'll go take a look."
After much deliberation, Yun Zhensong decided to go see Yun Wanning in person.
At this moment, Yun Wanning was sitting in the main hall, listening to the stewardess's reply.
Yun Tingting also sat aside and listened carefully to Yun Wanning's words.
"A banquet for thirty tables?"
Yun Wanning raised her eyebrows, "My father is turning fifty-five this year and has countless friends all over the world. At least he has fifty-five tables... Not only is this number auspicious, but it also makes the Duke's mansion grand!"
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment.
But he still replied, "Princess, I don't want to do it too high-profile."
"Don't want to be too high-profile?"
Yun Wanning is happy.
With Yun Zhensong's virtuous character, he probably wants to spread the word to all four countries and invite countless people to his birthday banquet, right?
Let everyone know that His Royal Highness the Emperor's grandson is his grandson...
Is it true that I don’t want to be high-profile? Is it true that I’m afraid of being impeached by the DPRK minister for extravagance and waste?!
He didn't dare, but Yun Wanning wanted him to "dare"!
She curled her lips and said, "Fifty-five years old is also a hurdle. Since you have reached this age, you should celebrate it. Maybe one day, you will burp your fart and ascend to heaven?"
The housekeeper was sweating profusely: "..."
She didn't dare to accept this!
Yuntingting knew that her eldest sister had this temper, so she shook her head in a funny and helpless way.
On the other hand, Yun Zhensong, who walked to the door, almost fell down when he heard these words!
Yun Wanning's words almost sent him away!
Although I have passed my fifty-fifth birthday, my birthday party will be held tomorrow, which is a great joy.
This stinky girl didn't keep her mouth shut and actually cursed him on such a great day?!
Uncle Chen's eyes quickly helped him, and then he grabbed the door frame and stood firm, with a look of fear on his face, "This stinky girl, is she talking about it?"
Hearing the movement at the door, Yun Wanning turned around and looked.
The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief.
It will be easier once the master comes...
Facing Princess Ming, she was really depressed and nervous. She was afraid that if she said something wrong, she would offend this little aunt!
"Wan Ning, isn't the birthday party tomorrow?"
Yun Zhensong came in and sat down.
"This princess is thinking that there is no mistress in the Duke's Mansion to worry about this matter. Although I am married, my surname is Yun, so the disgrace of the Duke's Mansion will also affect me."
Yun Wanning said seriously, "That's why I came here to see if everything is ready."
"My princess is kind-hearted, Mr. Yun Guogong won't mind, right?!"
Kindhearted?!
This stinky girl has good intentions?!
Yun Zhensong was deeply suspicious.
He sneered, "Of course not! In that case, have you taken it all seriously?"
"It's almost done, but there's one more thing."
Yun Wanning hesitated to speak, "After all, Mr. Yun Guo is a person of status, and he is celebrating his fifty-fifth birthday. Doesn't it seem too petty to set up thirty tables?"
Yun Zhensong: "...What do you think?"
"Table fifty-five."
"Fifty-five?"
Yun Zhensong frowned.
He looked hesitant, clearly worried that he would be impeached by the ministers of the DPRK.
"Mr. Yun Guo is not short of money. Isn't it a trivial matter to have twenty-five more tables?"
Yun Wanning raised her eyebrows.
"Having said that, I have already prepared the guest list and posted it. If there are twenty-five more tables suddenly, it will be too late to entertain the guests!"
That's a good excuse.
Yun Wanning sneered inwardly, "What's so difficult about this?"
She said lightly, "If the extra twenty-five tables are not suitable for entertaining guests, we can entertain the neighbors and passers-by."
"In this way, not only can we avoid embarrassment, but we can also get praise from the people! We can also gather the auspicious number of fifty-five tables. Isn't it killing three birds with one stone?"
Yuntingting on the side was deeply impressed by her eldest sister's eloquence.
Awesome!
If it were her, she would never have thought of such a comprehensive solution!
Yun Zhensong was obviously moved as well.
He picked up the tea cup at hand, still a little worried, "But if the emperor pursues it... The emperor said a few days ago that the national treasury is empty just after the New Year."
"In order to set a good example for the people, eliminate waste, and keep everything simple..."
Speaking of which, he was just afraid of being impeached by his ministers and reprimanded by Mo Zongran!
Yun Wanning looked at him funny, "Gong Yun, just admit it. In fact, you want to set fifty-five tables, so that your face will look bright."
"I……"
Yun Zhensong blushed, coughed slightly and lowered his head, "Yes, you are right."
Yun Wanning and Yun Tingting looked at each other, "In that case, I will help you!"
"I didn't prepare any decent birthday gifts for you, so I just helped you prepare the remaining twenty-five tables for the banquet. If my father pursues it, I will bear it."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhensong was delighted, "Is this true?!"
“Once a word is spoken, it is difficult to follow it.”
Yun Wanning stood up quickly and said, "While there is still time, hurry up and buy ingredients to entertain the guests."
"By the way, let me tell the neighbors to come over tomorrow and join in the fun!"
She turned and left.
Yuntingting hurriedly followed her out, "Sister, wait for me!"
Yun Zhensong was overjoyed to receive Yun Wanning's "guarantee" and immediately ordered Uncle Chen and the housekeeper to do as Yun Wanning said.
Uncle Chen was still a little hesitant, "Master."
"I always feel that Princess Ming is not so kind? Isn't there a conspiracy?"
"What are you afraid of? She said she will bear it! This girl is so loved by the emperor, it won't matter if the sky falls!"
Yun Zhensong waved his hand, "Go and get ready! I want everyone to know that my Duke's daughter is the darling of the royal family, and my Duke's grandson is the proud son of heaven!"
He looked proud.
Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Uncle Chen had no choice but to accept the order and leave.
At the same time, Yun Tingting had already chased him out of the door.
"Big sister!"
