Chapter 898: Chapter 900, Malicious Intent (1st Update)
However, more people wish to marry Feng Wushuang, because Feng Wushuang comes from a modest family, with a simple household, and Feng Old Lady is very kind. Moreover, Feng Wushuang is self-respecting, without any scandalous rumors.
Even she has a mind to betroth Dai Hanmi to Feng Wushuang.
Only she fears Feng Wushuang might already have a marriage agreement.
Feng Old Lady laughed, "Wushuang is not yet engaged, but what he thinks in his heart, I am not sure!"
"It is said that in matters of marriage, it’s the parents’ orders and the matchmaker’s words. Old Lady being like this, I truly admire!" the Marchioness Zhpngyong said with a smile.
"Alas, as mothers, we all wish for our children’s happiness. Wushuang has had a tough journey all the way, how could I bear to force him!"
"Indeed, that’s true!"
The two then talked about other matters.
Leaving Yun Old Lady sidelined, paying her no attention.
Until Countess Xuanping, Mrs. Chen Family, and Mrs. Dai from the Wang Residence personally delivered gifts and exchanged a few words with Mrs. Han before hurriedly departing.
Losing two children at once, yet Mrs. Dai could still make this trip, was indeed difficult.
For her, there is both lament and sympathetic pity.
Lady Chen from the Elder Residence brought generous gifts with Countess Xuanping, and Mrs. Han welcomed them to the hall.
Very soon, Mrs. Ruan and Ruan Wanrong came, bringing many more gifts, making Yun Old Lady and Mrs. He exceedingly envious.
Truly, those genuinely happy for Yun Jinnian all came today.
Only the Princess Residence had yet to send anyone.
Yun Old Lady secretly rejoiced in her heart, even silently praying, hoping the Princess would not come!
So that Yun Jinnian’s coming-of-age ceremony would become the greatest joke in the Capital City!
"The Princess from the Princess Residence is here!"
Everyone quickly stood up to greet her.
Yun Old Lady was very disappointed, but she had no choice but to follow suit.
Before anyone could salute, the Princess smiled, "Today, no need for too many formalities!"
"Thank you, Princess!"
Everyone responded in unison.
The Princess smiled as she looked around at everyone, her face showing kindness, so regal and noble that no one dared to look directly at her.
Behind her were four marchionesses, followed by maids carrying congratulatory gifts.
Stretching out in a long line.
Yun Old Lady felt very unbalanced, and said, "Ming Liu, go see if Jinnian is ready. All the guests have arrived, and she is not here yet; what a state of affairs!"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Mrs. Han’s face darkened.
Looking at Yun Old Lady, there was a deep-seated fury suppressed in her eyes.
The Princess chuckled and said, "No matter, today Jinnian is the star, she should indeed dress beautifully. It’s normal to be a little late; we can wait and chat, it’s rare that we can all meet, even wanting to talk is hard!"
The Princess deftly shifted the topic and took her seat in the main position.
Everyone sat according to their status, but those who came here today were all top-ranking noblewomen, so they seated themselves by age.
Although Yun Old Lady was the host, she did not dare sit next to the Princess.
So she sat a bit lower down.
Yun Jinnian then arrived in a pink dress, gracefully appearing.
Everyone looked and couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
This child, even in earlier years was thought to be beautiful, and as she grew up, certainly a peerless beauty, but at that time she was still a child, young and yet to mature, no matter how beautiful she wouldn’t make one’s head spin.
But today, dressed in splendid attire and with rouge on her cheeks, truly all her beauty was completely brought out.
Like a fairy descending to the mortal world, captivating everyone’s gaze.
"Jinnian pays respects to all the elders!" Yun Jinnian slightly curtsied, respectful and courteous.
The gesture fluid like flowing water, beautifully pleasing to the eye.
That grace, truly few can match!
