Chapter 718: Trouble Enjoying Both a Wife and a Concubine

Yun Yuanfeng had heard Yun Ziling crying about it last night, and now, when Yao Ying mentioned it again, he felt ashamed.

Chen Lixue took this opportunity to stir up trouble. She smiled as she sowed discord. “Wow, isn’t that exactly what happened? After the younger sister snatched her sister’s man and appeared on such a grand occasion, wouldn’t that be equivalent to giving the Jiangs a slap in the face? You might not be ashamed of yourselves, but the Jiang family still cares about their reputation.”

Hearing what Chen Lixue had said, Yun Xi almost wanted to get up and give her a thumbs-up.

It was really rare that she would say such a thing. This was a huge diss to Liang Xiuqin.

“That’s enough, all of you stop talking.” Yun Yuanfeng had realized with hindsight that their actions had been a slap in the face to the Jiang family. His facial expression suddenly became distorted.

Although he also wanted Yun Ziling to marry into the Jiang family and have Yun Xi marry into the Chen family, if he really couldn’t have both, he would definitely want to hold onto Yun Xi’s identity as the Jiang family’s fiancee.

“Yun Xi will be the one to pay the visit for the New Year’s greetings to the Jiang family, so don’t meddle!”

If the mother and daughter ruined Yun Xi’s prospects for such a good marriage, that would be horrible.

Liang Xiuqin didn’t agree with this at all, and she jumped up anxiously. “Yuanfeng, why should she alone have relationships with both the Jiang family and the Chen family? She only needs to maintain her relationship with the Chen family. What if all our hard efforts have been in vain?”

“Mom’s right! Dad, why are you so partial? Second Young Master Jiang doesn’t like my sister at all, so why does she get to be the dog in the manger? Doesn’t the Eldest Heir like her? Just let her marry into the Chen family. The Eldest Heir is also Second Young Master Jiang’s cousin, so they are still a family after all.”

Yun Yuanfeng glared at Yun Ziling warningly. “What do you know?”

The Old Master rarely meddled, but this time he couldn’t stand Liang Xiuqin’s presumptuous and self-righteous behavior. He put down his chopsticks with a bang and gave Yun Yuanfeng and his wife a harsh glance.

“This marriage with the Jiang family was promised to Yun Xi by the Old Chief of the Jiang family back in the day. Unless the Jiang family takes the initiative to call it off, this matter won’t fall into Yun Ziling’s hands. Don’t you two know how to handle this?”

Yun Yuanfeng felt ashamed, and he coughed softly. “Dad, we will take care of this, so don’t worry.”

“I’m glad to hear it. I don’t want to be ashamed in front of the Old Chief.” The Old Master turned his head and glanced at Yun Xi. “Yun Xi, the Old Chief likes you, so during this year’s New Year, you will pay a visit and pass a New Year’s greeting for me. We will talk about the marriage later. Grandpa won’t force things upon you, and presumably the Old Chief thinks the same.”

“Okay. I know, Grandpa. I’m still young, so I’m not anxious about marriage. When Jiang Henglin meets someone he likes, it will be fine for the Jiang family to call it off. Nowadays, marriages are done according to free will. I think you and Grandpa Jiang will be able to understand.”

“Yes, as usual, you’re the most sensible one.” The Old Master nodded. “Your third uncle and his family will come for dinner on New Year’s Eve, and the house will be lively. This year, your second aunt is the head of the family, and you are the Oldest Young Madame of the Yun family, so you’ll learn more by being at her side.”

Yun Xi lowered her eyes and responded lightly, “Okay. Whatever you say.”

As soon as the Old Master left, the atmosphere at the table suddenly changed.

Liang Xiuqin had suffered such a huge blow, so naturally Chen Lixue couldn’t let go of the chance to rub salt into the wound. Her taunting remarks soon followed. “How shameful to throw yourself at him so desperately without knowing your place and seeing whether or not he’s out of your league.”

“What do you mean by that, Chen Lixue? Are our family affairs any of your business? Shut up!”

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Yun Yuanfeng slammed the bowl he was holding down on the table and stood up. “Shut up! It’s almost New Year’s, so settle down a bit. Otherwise, whoever makes me have a miserable New Year’s, I’ll make that person’s entire year miserable.”

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and curled her lips into a sneer. Looks like her father was having trouble enjoying both a wife and a concubine…
