Chapter 246: Shang Jia
"Uncle!"
Seeing Wei Wushang and Yuan Yindi entering, both Yuan Bao and Wei Qiqi spoke almost simultaneously.
However, their "Uncle" referred to different people.
Afterwards, Yuan Bao very obediently greeted Wei Wushang, like a little adult, offering New Year wishes.
After the New Year greetings, naturally, he received another red envelope.
During this process, the Daoist who accompanied Wei Wushang and Yuan Yindi continually observed Yuan Bao. That peculiar gaze was noticeable to anyone who paid even a little attention.
"Daoist Chang Chun, what do you think?"
After Yuan Bao finished his New Year greetings to Wei Wushang, the Eldest Princess looked solemnly at the Daoist, though her gaze revealed some nervousness and apprehension.
Daoist Chang Chun looked at the Eldest Princess, nodded slightly, and said, "Excellent!"
"Good, good, now I am relieved!"
Upon hearing Daoist Chang Chun’s response, the Eldest Princess immediately showed a joyous expression, one of immense happiness.
"I must take my leave!"
Daoist Chang Chun promptly bowed to the Eldest Princess and very freely turned and left.
"Young man of the Wei Family, see the Daoist off for me!"
The Eldest Princess immediately looked at Wei Wushang and instructed him to escort the guest out.
Wei Wushang bowed in agreement and caught up with Daoist Chang Chun, who had walked ahead, to see him off.
With the departure of the two, the atmosphere in the reception room changed slightly.
Whether it was Yuan Yindi, Old Yuan, Mrs. Zeng, or others, they were all puzzled.
The arrival of the Eldest Princess was inexplicable, and upon arriving, she merely engaged in casual conversation with them. Then a more inexplicable Daoist appeared and spoke perplexing words.
"Young man of the Yuan Family, I approve of the betrothal between you and Wan!"
"In the coming days, please have someone visit to propose marriage!"
The Eldest Princess didn’t offer an explanation, but with a gentle face, she said this to Yuan Yindi.
Hearing the Eldest Princess’s words, Yuan Yindi was truly overjoyed.
When the Eldest Princess came, he was actually quite anxious.
Despite appearing confident in front of Old Yuan and composed before Ruan Wan, when truly facing the elders of Ruan Wan’s family, he felt a bit uneasy.
Fortunately, it turned out to be a false alarm!
Yuan Bao, hearing the Eldest Princess’s words, was also overjoyed.
Her uncle could finally win his fair lady.
...
After the Eldest Princess left, the atmosphere in the Yuan Family was somewhat odd, excitement mixed with some anxiousness.
Especially Mrs. Zeng, her youngest son was finally going to start a family.
Of course, the future daughter-in-law having such a prominent background was quite pressuring for Mrs. Zeng.
While Song Family and Mrs. Peng were happy for Yuan Yindi, they shared Mrs. Zeng’s enormous pressure. This future sister-in-law was very different from them; whether she would be easy to get along with, they had no confidence.
Only Yuan Bao was utterly unworried.
She had met Ruan before; Ruan knew about her relationship with her uncle, yet Ruan still treated her very well.
As for whether Ruan Wan would change after marrying her uncle?
Yuan Bao felt she wouldn’t.
An old saying goes, "Rivers and mountains may change, but one’s nature is hard to alter."
Her Ruan was of a truly pure nature, never using her own background as a source of pride.
Seeing her obviously uneasy grandmother, Yuan Bao thought she needed to pave the way for her sister Ruan.
As for Aunt Song and Aunt Peng, as long as she could reassure her own grandmother, the two aunts wouldn’t be a problem.
