545 Wedding Gifts
Under Shen Yijia’s watch, three days finally passed. However, to her disappointment, she and Song Jingchen didn’t see the person You Yi mentioned.
In fact, on the day Xiao Ruoshui agreed to bring Yuan Yuwan her wedding gifts, that person never appeared again. Shen Yijia even suspected that they had guessed wrongly.
It was worth mentioning that Yuan Yuwan did not return to the Yuan residence to get married. Instead, she was preparing to get married directly from the old residence.
Normally, the stepmother would definitely not let go of the Xiao family’s betrothal gifts. However, she could not even protect her daughter now. How could she have the mood to interfere in Yuan Yuwan’s matters?
The mother and daughter argued in front of Old Master Yuan for a while, but it was useless. In the end, they could only accept their fate.
It was unknown what Earl Rong’s residence was thinking, but they decided to set the wedding date on the same day as the Xiao family’s wedding.
After a month of preparation, it was obvious how busy the stepmother was. No matter how much she wanted to cause trouble for Yuan Yuwan, she couldn’t spare the time.
When Shen Yijia and Xiao Ruoshui arrived at the Yuan family’s old residence, it was already decorated festively. The residence was filled with red lanterns with the word “happiness” on them, and red wedding silk was hung around the corridor.
Seeing this, Xiao Ruoshui heaved a sigh of relief. Did this mean that Yuan Yuwan did not have any grudges against this marriage?
What she did not know was that these were not ordered by Yuan Yuwan at all. Instead, it was arranged by the old butler of the old residence. Yuan Yuwan just did not object.
She followed the servant into the backyard. Yuan Yuwan was sitting in the courtyard reading a book. When she saw them, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, but she immediately understood.
That’s right, the day after tomorrow was the wedding day.
According to the rules, family and friends would come to visit and present her with some gifts two days before the wedding. The day before the wedding, they had to send the dowry to the groom’s intermediate family.
Yuan Yuwan picked up a bookmark and closed it. She smiled and went up to them. “You’re here. Sit down.”
Shen Yijia blinked and took a box from Mo Yuan. “Ruoshui and I came to give you some gifts.”
Xiao Ruoshui hurriedly took out the things she had prepared. She was Yuan Yuwan’s close friend today, not her sister-in-law.
She gave her a set of hair accessories and an exquisite bookmark. She could be considered to have put in a lot of effort.
Shen Yijia was much simpler. As soon as the box was opened, there were a few banknotes, two gold bars, and a stack of gold leaves.
This was the most generous she had ever been.
“I heard from others that women still need more money to protect themselves after getting married,” Shen Yijia said.
It was also because Xiao Ruoshui was present that she didn’t say anything about her husband being unreliable.
However, Yuan Yuwan understood. She smiled and did not stand on ceremony with the two of them. She asked You Bai to put away the things and instructed the servants to bring tea and snacks.
“Sister Yuwan, if my brother makes you suffer in the future, tell me. I’ll definitely help you.” Although Yuan Yuwan didn’t blame her, Xiao Ruoshui still felt guilty and spoke carefully.
Yuan Yuwan smiled and teased, “So you’re not getting married?”
“I…” Xiao Ruoshui’s face turned red. Her wedding day was not far away.
“I’m not used to seeing you like this.” Yuan Yuwan chuckled and said seriously, “Alright, don’t worry about me. Don’t you know what kind of person your brother is? How can I suffer?”
The name Feng Manman almost slipped out of Xiao Ruoshui’s mouth. Shen Yijia, who was eating silently at the side, quickly stuffed a snack into Xiao Ruoshui’s mouth. “This is delicious. Try it.”
Xiao Ruoshui choked and realized that she had almost said something wrong. She smiled awkwardly and echoed, “It’s indeed not bad.”
Yuan Yuwan pursed her lips and smiled faintly. She didn’t say anything.

As the three of them chatted and laughed, someone came to their door again.
It was a few girls from the Yuan family. There were nearly ten daughters from the third branch.
The graceful girls walked in together, and Yuan Leyao, who was also waiting to get married, walked in front.
“Big Sister, I brought my sisters to give you some wedding gifts.” Yuan Leyao said politely, but the resentment in her eyes could not be hidden.
The smile on Yuan Yuwan’s face faded a little. “Coincidentally, I was also planning to go over and give Second Sister some wedding gifts, so I didn’t have time to come over. Since Second Sister came over, please bring the gifts back later.”
Who cared about what she gave her?
Yuan Leyao gritted her teeth and looked around at the arrangements. She sneered. “Big Sister is too busy preparing for her marriage. I can understand. After all, Big Sister…”
Yuan Yuwan’s eyes turned cold and she interrupted her. “Second Sister is about to become Madam Bo’s wife. You should know what to say and what not to say. You don’t need me to remind you, right?”
Actually, Yuan Yuwan could not understand Yuan Leyao. At a time like this, she was not thinking about how to protect herself. Instead, she was in the mood to find trouble with her.
Apart from being able to annoy her, she couldn’t think of any other benefits for Yuan Leyao.
In the end, Yuan Yuwan could only attribute it to Yuan Leyao’s stupidity.
This was the first time Shen Yijia had seen Yuan Yuwan criticize someone. Seeing that she had made her ill-intentioned sister’s expression change with just a simple sentence, she silently relaxed her restless fists and chose to watch the show.
Yuan Leyao was furious at everyone’s gazes. She took a deep breath and said, “Big Sister, I’m not here to quarrel with you today.”
Perhaps afraid that she would say something she didn’t want to hear again, Yuan Leyao paused for a moment and continued, “Apart from giving you some gifts, Father also asked me to tell you that you’re the eldest daughter of the Yuan family. Wouldn’t you be a joke if you didn’t exit from the official residence on your wedding day?”
“So Father wants me to move back?” Yuan Yuwan asked calmly.
Yuan Leyao nodded.
This matter was suggested by Yuan Leyao and the stepmother, and Old Master Yuan agreed.
However, the last time he came to the old residence, he felt that Yuan Yuwan was becoming more and more like the deceased Pavilion Elder.
He was a little afraid of her and did not want to see her, so he asked Yuan Leyao to do it.
Yuan Yuwan smiled mockingly. “I didn’t go back because I didn’t want to trouble Second Madam. After all, it’s tiring enough for her to help you manage the marriage alone. I think Second Sister will feel sorry for her biological mother.”
“But Father asked you to go back!” Yuan Leyao suddenly raised her voice.
Yuan Yuwan looked at her deeply and noticed that her hands were clenched into fists. She said coldly, “Then I’ll have to trouble Second Sister to help me persuade Father to dispel this thought. However, tell him not to worry. I’ll go over and kowtow to him on the day of the wedding.”
This was a rule. She would not disobey it.
Yuan Leyao said, “Why should I help-”
She stopped mid-sentence. Yuan Leyao was so angry that her face turned red and her lips trembled. “Are you threatening me?”
Yuan Yuwan didn’t say anything. She just looked at her steadily.
Apart from the two of them, everyone else was at a loss.
In the end, Yuan Leyao could only leave angrily. When the other girls of the Yuan family saw this, they put down the gifts they had brought and bade farewell.
