Chapter 94: Mrs. Guan Hosts a Banquet to Speech Out 3
"It didn't take long." Guan Yucheng said with a smile, "Sister Ziqian went out for something. She didn't know beforehand that I was going there. Naturally, I didn't do it on purpose. Mrs. Xian doesn't need to mind."
Xuan Yi looked at Guan Yucheng and smiled slightly. The smile was quite meaningful. Guan Yucheng, who had always been proud, actually defended Xian Zijian, who was not a good-looking person, and even took everything into his body without leaving a trace. It seemed that he was a little tempted.
Guan Yucheng felt Xuan Yi's gaze and glanced back. He saw the teasing taste in Xuan Yi's eyes, his face turned red, and he remembered the old thing about giving away the fish tank and asking for it back, and lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
"It's not a big deal. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later." Mrs. Guan said from the side, "Yupeng, since everyone is here, why don't we chat while eating. A servant in the house went back to visit his family.
, I brought some fresh fish and shrimp with me when I came back, and specially asked my in-laws to come over and try it. Zijian, just sit with me, I have some things to ask you about your sister."
Mrs. Guan's tone was very kind, but Xian Ziqian's heart still couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable worry. It seemed more appropriate to ask her mother about things related to her sister. She, a girl of the same age as her sister, could say
What?
Mrs. Xian was also a little surprised. She sat down with Mrs. Guan across from her daughter. Next to her was Guan Yucheng. Guan Yupeng sat next to her mother, next to Xuan Yi. Xuan Yi's position was exactly opposite Xian Ziqian. When he looked up, he could see Xian Ziqian.
There was confusion on his face.
“Mrs.
Xian Ziqian immediately felt that Xuan Yi's eyes across from him were also falling on his mother, but his expression was very calm, as if he just glanced at his mother casually and then looked away.
"I accidentally let the wind blow when I was sleeping last night. In the past few days, I have been helping me prepare the dowry. Her father has been busy with things in the shop and can't help. This girl Ziyuan is not easy to do, so she can only work hard.
Zi Ai takes care of her own affairs." Mrs. Xian sighed, "It's a pity that this child has always been a good child who doesn't want to trouble others and make others embarrassed."
Xian Ziqian didn't seem to hear her mother's dissatisfaction with her, she just lowered her head slightly. Her mother said this to her well, and it saved her face in front of the Guan family.
Hearing that her mother only complained but did not say how her sister was doing now, Xian Ziqian raised her head slightly and glanced at Xuan Yi, who was sitting opposite. His expression was still calm, but Xian Ziqian felt that he must be worried about her sister's health. He hesitated and looked at
Guan Yupeng turned to the direction and said softly: "Sister has taken medicine and is resting. Xiaochun heard from Qin Yun who was waiting for her that she had a cold last night. The doctor prescribed medicine. After taking the medicine, she will be fine after taking a day's rest.
, Brother Yupeng, don’t worry too much.”
"You are not her, how do you know that she will be fine after just one day of rest?" Mrs. Xian immediately said angrily, "You are such a hard-hearted kid. Your sister must be feeling very uncomfortable lying in bed now. She wants you to accompany her when she comes.
You won’t even say anything!”
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xian Zijian's face, she bit her lip lightly and said no more.
Guan Yucheng said with some dissatisfaction: "Mrs.
You came to the house for a banquet and refused to stay at home to take care of your sister-in-law. Are you also blaming us, Guan Mansion, for insisting that you, mother and daughter, come to the banquet even though we knew that your sister-in-law was unwell?"
Xuan Yi also seemed a little startled. In front of the Guan family, Mrs. Xian didn't give any face to her little daughter. It didn't look like Xian Ziqian was unreasonable, but rather that Mrs. Xian had no regard for dignity.
Mrs. Xian couldn't say a word for a while, and her face turned red. Then she remembered that she was in the Guan family's house, and her face was a little embarrassed and angry. Guan Yucheng, a junior, didn't give her face. After all, she was also his future sister-in-law.
His mother is an elder, how could he blame her like this, and she didn't mean what he thought she meant, she just felt sorry for Zi Ai who was sick at home.
"Yucheng, how can you talk to your in-laws like this? She is your elder." Mrs. Guan scolded in a deep voice. Then she looked at Mrs. Xian, smiled slightly, and said gently, "In-laws, don't be angry, this child
He has been an outspoken person since he was a child. If he has anything to say, just treat him as a junior and ignore him. Yucheng, please apologize to Mrs. Xian."
Guan Yucheng was a little reluctant and said lazily: "Mrs. Xian, Yucheng was offended just now."
Although Mrs. Xian was annoyed, she could no longer care about anything at this time. She had to swallow her dissatisfaction, put on a smile and said: "It's okay, it's Zi Daan's blessing that he protects Zi Daan."
Everyone at the table was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to proceed with these words. Xian Zijian's face was as hot as fire. Although the Guan family had decided on this marriage when their sister was born, it was obvious that they looked down on the Xian family at all.
The disdain was evident in these words.
"After dinner, Yu Peng personally sent Mrs. Xian and sister Zi Ai back home, just in time to visit Zi Ai." Guan Yupeng said with a smile, "Everyone, eat quickly. This seafood needs to be fresh. It will not be good if it is cold.
Eat. Sister Ziyuan, you eat too."
Xian Ziyan could only smile slightly, take a piece of food from the plate in front of her with her chopsticks, put it into her mouth and chew it slowly, with a look of helplessness and indifference on her face.
After eating for a while, Mrs. Guan suddenly asked, as if unintentionally: "Are Zi Ai and Zi Yuan about the same age? By the way, I forgot that these two children were twin girls, born on the same day. Did Zi Yun marry someone else?"
Xian Ziqian didn't expect Mrs. Guan to ask this suddenly. She was a little stunned and shook her head subconsciously.
“The child’s fortune was not very good when she was born.” Mrs.
No, it would be better to marry someone who has lost his wife."
Xian Zijian's face suddenly turned red. She was ashamed and annoyed, but she remained silent. The chopsticks she held in her hand were trembling slightly. If there was a hole in the ground, she would disappear in front of everyone immediately.
Xuan Yi frowned, what are you talking about? After all, in front of you is Zi Ai's future husband's family. If you talk about Xian Zi Ai like this, how will the Guan family treat Xian Zi Ai? He was thinking in his heart. Just when he was about to speak, Mrs. Guan on the side suddenly smiled,
He said gently: "My in-laws said this, and it reminded me of a suitable person."
Xian Ziqian's eyes widened and she looked at Mrs. Guan.
