C100 (1/2)
Qin Yuan bit his lips.
She had thought that her mother had taken a fancy to that thick layer of red.
Since she was young, she had only given out silver taels. How could she possibly extend her hand to ask for the red taels?
In her heart, she was more or less unwilling.
While he was hesitating, Jiang Shi pushed him and rushed out while stumbling.
Everyone in the room looked at her.
Qin Yunan smiled awkwardly, and pretended to be at ease as he straightened his unmessy dress. He leisurely walked up to Jiang Wan, his eyes quickly sweeping over Xiao Rui's body, and said with a red face: ”Sister Wan, congratulations.”
Jiang Wan looked at her with a smile on her face, not batting an eyelid.
She would never forget the face that Qin Yuan had shown when he deliberately ran into her room before he got married.
Qin Yuan could clearly feel the alienation in Jiang Wan's smile.
She harrumphed coldly in her heart, thinking to herself, Isn't Jiang Wan just marrying an ailing ghost or something like that? He was actually pulling her up with him.
However, when she glanced at the thick layer of red in Jiang Cheng Wen's hands, she could not help but feel a little envious.
She shifted her gaze and whispered into Jiang Wan's ear, ”Little Sister Wan is really lucky. I didn't think that the crown prince would be so handsome and elegant.”
Jiang Wan noticed her little movements and covered her mouth as she chuckled. She took a red seal from Xia Yi's hand and passed it to Qin Yuan: ”Look at what big sister said. Little sister wishes that you can find her husband as soon as possible.”
At the same time that Qin Yuan received the red letter, the smile on his face froze.
He wouldn't slap anyone's face!
She was already eighteen, but she had yet to marry anyone. Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that her marriage was going to be difficult.
Yet, Jiang Wan only told her about this. She wouldn't believe it even if she was beaten to death if she said that she did not mean it.
Qin Yuan suppressed the anger in her heart. Normally, she would have erupted a long time ago.
But today, she used the corner of her eyes to scan the people in the room. Every single one of them was smiling, and there was even Jiang Wan, the Second Uncle, and her wife, Jiang Chuanxiao and his wife. No matter how unhappy she was in her heart, she could only endure it.
The personal maidservant that followed her here accepted the ruby and pure gold head that Jiang Wan had given her, and when she raised her head, she saw the tension on Jiang Wan's side.
She walked over, affectionately wrapped her arms around Jiang Wan's, and whispered, ”What are you guys talking about?”
Qin Yuan glanced at Jiang Yan, thinking that Jiang Yan was ranked third in the Jiang family, even older than Jiang Wan. However, like her, she had never been betrothed to another family.
Therefore, she rolled her eyes, pretended to be shy and covered her mouth as she laughed, ”Sister Wan has just wished that I could find the man I love as soon as possible.”
Jiang Yan looked meaningfully at Qin Yuan. She had grown up in the noble women's circle. What kind of scheming had she not seen before?
She sneered in her heart but didn't show it on her face. Instead, she smiled and said, ”Then we really have to borrow Sister Wan's gold. We'll go drink your wedding wine together then.”
Madame Jiang accompanied Madam Qiao and Madame Qin as they sat in the western room, drinking tea. When she raised her eyes, she saw her daughter chatting happily with Jiang Wan and Jiang Yan.
Looking at Jiang Wan's emerald body and appearance, how could he tell that she was once an undesirable little girl at home?
She took a sip of her tea and sighed, ”It's really the first time that Miss Wan'er has been one of these children.”
Madam Qiao only smiled and did not speak.
