Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten Chapter 717 - Wondering about Their IQs

Chapter 717: Wondering about Their IQs

Yun Xi woke up early in the morning. Mu Feichi was already gone from the bed, but there was a serving of Shengjing Garden’s breakfast on her desk.

The insulated food box was still hot, so it had probably been brought to her room not long before.

She was excited when she opened the box.. Everything she liked to eat was in there, and it also contained a cup of black sesame soy milk that she liked to drink.

This man was so considerate. How could she possibly find fault with him?

New Year’s Eve was in a few days. This period before New Year’s Eve was the busiest time for the powerful members of society, especially so for Mu Feichi, who, besides being powerful, was also a Young Marshal. He would inevitably have to visit the army to express his condolences for any losses they’d suffered in the last year.

However, for some reason, Mu Feichi seemed to be an exception to this rule, and he wasn’t busy at all.

She didn’t know if he was really not busy or if he had simply pushed all his tasks onto others.

After finis.h.i.+ng her breakfast, she went downstairs. After the banquet last night, Yun Ziling had returned with no good news. Presumably, Liang Xiuqin and Yun Yuanfeng were very disappointed. For appearances’ sake, Yun Yuanfeng had also gone into the dining room to have breakfast.

As soon as she entered the dining room, she saw Yun Ziling looking at her with eyes shooting daggers. Her face appeared grim and miserable.

Yun Xi sat down, but didn’t ask for breakfast from the housekeeper. She just poured a gla.s.s of honey tea and sat there, from time to time glancing at Liang Xiuqin’s also unsightly face. The mother and daughter had been really exhausting themselves trying to establish ties with the Jiang family.

The two of them weren’t as ambitious as Yun Chuhan, who was aiming for Mu Feichi, yet all of them were totally wasting their time. It really made her wonder about their IQs.

The second aunt brought breakfast to Yun Xi. She glanced at Liang Xiuqin’s gloomy expression and deliberately mentioned the New Year’s greeting arrangements. “Yun Xi, since you’re here this year, you must go to give the New Year’s greetings to the Jiang family. When do you plan to do so?”

“Let’s follow the customary tradition of New Year’s greetings. I will go to the Jiang family and the Chen family to do the greetings on the same day. I might have to go to the Zhao family also to pay my New Year’s greetings after visiting these two families, but I think that is all I need to do. Second aunt, is there anything I can do to help you?”

“That’s not necessary. I have many relatives, so I can’t finish all the New Year’s greetings in just a few days. I have to drag Haozhe along with me for this round of New Year’s greetings. I have to familiarize him with my relatives.”

Yun Xi nodded. Her mother didn’t have any relatives in Jingdu, so it really saved her a lot of effort during the New Year.

Yao Ying’s remarks made an invisible impression on Liang Xiuqin. Yao Ying had many backers in her maternal family, but what about her? Except for a brother who was a village chief in the countryside, she had n.o.body else.

She had no backers and no powerful family to rely on. She paled in comparison to Yao Ying in every respect, so of course she was no match against her at all.

In addition to having no son, she had no status in the Yun family. All of this had been caused by Yun Xi, her scourge.

If it hadn’t been for Yun Xi, she might still have been in charge of the Yun family and still have been able to be friends with all the rich madames. Ever since Yun Xi’s return, she had lost everything.

Now, Yun Xi had even s.n.a.t.c.hed the Jiang family, who had been her only hope, from Yun Ziling’s hands. How could she swallow this?

In a fit of anger, she said, “For this year’s New Year, you don’t have to go to the Jiang family to pay a New Year’s greeting. You can go directly to the Chen family. I will take Ziling to the Jiang family to pay a New Year’s greeting. The Jiang family wouldn’t want to see you anyway, so if you went to pay them a New Year’s greeting visit, why would that please them?”

Yao Ying glanced at Yun Xi. Yun Xi appeared as if she couldn’t care less about what Liang Xiuqin had said, but Yao Ying didn’t want Liang Xiuqin to try and exploit the situation. No matter what, this engagement belonged to Yun Xi, so even if she didn’t want it, she wasn’t going to let Liang Xiuqin take advantage of her and even drag her down.

“You speak as if they would be happy if you went there. I’m afraid you still don’t understand how much humiliation the Jiang family suffered when Second Young Master Jiang took Yun Ziling to attend last night’s banquet.”

When Yao Ying said this, she deliberately glanced at Yun Yuanfeng, who raised his head, and then she continued, “Everyone in their social circle knows that it’s the Oldest Young Madame of the Yun family who he is engaged to, yet he brought the Second Young Madame of the Yun family. Those who didn’t know probably thought that the younger sister stole her older sister’s man. How could the Jiang family be pleased by that?”
