Chapter 897: Chapter 899, Testing the Waters (3rd Update)
She sat there for a long time, with three sons, two daughters-in-law, several grandsons, granddaughters, and granddaughters-in-law, yet none came to ask her a word, nor did anyone come to talk with her.
"Old Madam, are you alright?" Ming Liu asked softly.
The Old Madam of the Yun Family was brought back to her senses upon hearing this.
She looked at Ming Liu and shook her head, handing over her teacup to him, "Get me a new cup of tea, this one doesn’t taste right!"
"Yes!"
Ming Liu hurried off to change the tea.
He sniffed the teacup, puzzled and frowning.
This tea was one the Old Madam of the Yun Family adored, she usually had several cups a day, so why was it suddenly bitter?
Ming Liu didn’t dare delay and quickly replaced it with a different tea, bringing it back to the Old Madam of the Yun Family.
At the main entrance.
Mrs. Han smiled gently, politely thanking the butlers from various residences. Regardless, today was Jinnian’s coming of age ceremony, and having so many gifts was a blessing for Yun Jinnian.
Yun Qi also had a smile on his face.
He chatted with those who came bearing gifts, whether he knew them or not, and inquired about the hosts of their residences.
After seeing off another group bearing gifts, Mrs. Han let out a sigh.
"Shun Niang!"
"Hmm?"
"Are you tired? Do you need a break?"
Mrs. Han shook her head, "I am a bit tired, but I am happy!"
With Jinnian coming of age, she planned to settle her marriage arrangement swiftly, even if it couldn’t be a grand affair, she wanted her to get married soon.
This Yun Family, she couldn’t stay here anymore.
Yun Qi looked at Mrs. Han, smiling without speaking.
Tenderness and lingering, when Mrs. Han looked over, he quickly turned his head, indifferent and placid.
"Second Master!"
"Hmm?"
"Thank you today!"
Yun Qi nodded.
Looking into the distance!
He wasn’t a good husband, nor a good father.
The Old Lady Feng was personally sent over by Feng Wushuang, who also prepared generous gifts. For today, Feng Wushuang specially took a leave.
"Lord Feng!"
"Lord Yun!"
The two had regular contact, but Yun Qi didn’t expect Feng Wushuang to rise so quickly to a prominent position as one of the six ministers.
It took only a short time.
"Madam Yun!" the Old Lady Feng slightly bowed.
Mrs. Han quickly returned the salutation.
It must be noted, the Old Lady Feng’s ladyship was higher than hers.
"I should have visited earlier, but my health hasn’t been great; I hope Madam Yun won’t hold it against me!"
"Not at all, not at all, Old Lady Feng, please come inside!"
Mrs. Han personally welcomed the Old Lady Feng towards the main hall.
The Old Lady Feng observed the Yun Residence and naturally saw the Old Madam of the Yun Family seated at the main seat in the hall.
She hadn’t known about the Yun Family’s affairs before, but Feng Wushuang did and had told her many things about Yun Jinnian’s childhood.
Her heart ached for Yun Jinnian, and she wanted to fight for her son, thus she naturally didn’t like the muddle-headed Old Madam of the Yun Family.
"Old Madam Yun!"
The Old Lady Feng called out gently, but did not bow.
She was also a lady of rank one; she didn’t wish to acknowledge the Old Madam until Feng Wushuang had children, only then would she be the true grandmother.
The Old Madam of the Yun Family smiled and stood up to say, "Old Lady Feng is here, please have a seat!"
"Hmm!"
Slightly nodding, the Old Lady Feng sat down.
Just then, more guests arrived outside, and Mrs. Han went to greet them after exchanging a few words with the Old Lady Feng.
The Old Lady Feng held her tea, unmindful of the Old Madam of the Yun Family.
The Old Madam suddenly felt her face turn crimson with anger.
Watching Yun Qi and Feng Wushuang deeply engaged in conversation, the Old Madam felt a surge of frustration, wishing she could just faint or dig a hole to bury herself.
It’s said to be humiliating to the outside world, but she was embarrassed in her own home.
The Marchioness Zhuangyong brought the Crown Princess, along with grand gifts, and upon seeing the Old Lady Feng, they chatted together while the Crown Princess quietly drank tea, rarely speaking.
"Lady Feng, is Lord Feng considering marriage yet?" the Marchioness Zhuangyong asked.
These days, apart from Prince Rui, the most sought-after bachelor in the Capital City is Feng Wushuang.
