Chapter 543: Yuan Yuwan Strikes Back
The news that there was a change in the engagement between the Yuan and Xiao families flew out like wings after a banquet between Old Master Yuan and Earl Rong.
Earl Rong’s residence began to prepare the betrothal gifts with great fanfare, as if they were afraid that others would not know that Earl Rong was going to remarry for the fourth time.
When the news reached the Xiao family, General Xiao was so angry that he almost beat Xiao Qirui up again. He only gave up when he saw him lying on the bed sickly.
Madam Xiao was also tough this time. She quickly reorganized the people in the residence. Xiao Ruoqian, who had eavesdropped and spread the scandal in the family, did not have a good time.
Because of this matter, in order to suppress the rumors, the Xiao family directly carried the betrothal gifts to the Yuan residence and sent them to the Yuan family’s old residence. They quickly set the wedding date to be a month later.
Actually, their marriage should have been scheduled three years ago when Yuan Yuwan became an adult. However, the wedding was postponed because of Pavilion Elder Yuan’s sudden death.
As for what needed to be prepared, they had already prepared it, so it was not a rush.
On the other hand, the Yuan family was completely dumbfounded. In order to please Earl Rong, Old Master Yuan almost handed over Yuan Yuwan’s invitation with both hands. Now that the Xiao family did not want to cancel the marriage, where could he find a second Yuan Yuwan to marry into Earl Rong’s residence?
