Chapter 92 Yu Family Banquet (3)_1
"Uncle, this is for you—it’s a landscape painting. And for Auntie, a set of spring clothes." Shangguan You handed the last two bags to Shangguan Yu, not bothering to open them. After all, they were gifts from Ouyang Xuan; they were naturally fine items, otherwise, he wouldn’t have presented them.
As for the furs and shoes she received today, they weren’t from Ouyang Xuan but from that persistent fiend, Ye Sanshao. But it couldn’t be helped; Ouyang Xuan had to take the credit.
"Thank him for me. He really went to the trouble of finding out everyone’s preferences so clearly."
"Of course. If he treats you all well, then you’ll be good to me. Would he dare offend any of you?" Shangguan You chuckled.
"You mischievous girl! If he were here and heard you, he’d be angry enough to cough up blood!"
"Uncle, you’re badmouthing him, saying he’d cough up blood. Be careful, or I’ll tell him next time! If he takes back this same painting then, I’ll just laugh triumphantly while I watch you cry."
The entire hall filled with Shangguan You’s cheerful laughter, joined by that of the Shangguan men.
Li Wanying sat on the sofa, her smile somewhat stiff, her hands clenched tightly within her sleeves. She felt as if Shangguan You had slapped her hard across the face. Everyone had a gift, but did she? No! No matter what, she was her stepmother. How could Shangguan You do such a thing?
