Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

The next morning, Yuan Wei and Su Yuebai boarded the carriage early and galloped towards the Yuan family.

In the carriage, the two sat opposite each other, and Yuan Wei frowned slightly.

Su Yuebai looked at her and asked softly, "Are you worried about today's trip?"

Yuan Wei shook her head. "It's okay. Let's go."

She was just a little confused about the Yuan family's behavior. It was obvious that the original owner's uncle and aunt acted differently.

I don't know how they managed to be so inconsistent.

The carriage soon arrived at the gate of the Yuan family. Su Yuebai was about to instruct Zhao Qing to knock on the door when he suddenly saw Yuan Haoxuan striding out of the mansion.

Yuan Haoxuan saw Su Yuebai at a glance and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He obviously did not expect to meet him here.

Su Yuebai smiled and saluted him, saying, "Brother."

"Brother-in-law, why are you here?" Yuan Haoxuan hurriedly stepped forward to help Su Yuebai up, then turned his gaze to the carriage, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Yuan Wei heard the noise, gently lifted the curtain, and replied softly: "Cousin, it's me."

Yuan Haoxuan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "It turns out to be Sister Wei'er! Come on, please come in!"

As he spoke, he led the carriage into the Yuan Mansion.

When they reached the gate, Yuan Haoxuan specifically instructed the doorman: "This is my cousin and her husband. If you see them again in the future, you don't need to inform them. You can directly welcome them into the mansion."

The concierge nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.

However, although the doorman appeared calm on the surface, he was actually panicking inside.

Because not long ago, the invitation sent by Yuan Wei was received by this doorman.

Unfortunately, this post was seen by Yuan Xin, who had returned to her parents' home, and she took it away directly.

She also said that she would give it directly to the wife. The doorman didn't know whether she gave it to him or not, and he was feeling very nervous.

I didn't expect Yuan Wei to come to my house directly this time. I hope she won't mention this.

The doorman thought to himself that if the master came to the conclusion, he would certainly be held responsible for his negligence.

I'm afraid my wife will look for a scapegoat and push him out.

Arriving at the second gate, Yuan Wei got off the carriage and saluted Yuan Haoxuan, "Brother."

"Sister Wei'er, just call me Big Brother from now on." Yuan Haoxuan nodded and said, "It just so happens that my father is on vacation today and didn't go out."

Yuan Haoxuan took Yuan Wei and the others directly to the main courtyard.

Someone had come in to report this as early as when Yuan Haoxuan met Su Yuebai at the door.

Yuan Hongwen happened to be in the main courtyard when he heard the news, so he stayed and waited together.

Yuan Haoxuan looked at his father and mother sitting at the top, bowed to them, then stepped aside to make room for Yuan Wei and Su Yuebai.

Yuan Wei and Su Yuebai greeted the two and presented them with the gifts they had prepared.

Yuan Hongwen looked at his beautiful and elegant niece in front of him and felt very satisfied.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Yuan Hongwen said, "I have a deep affection for your father. I never thought that he would..."

Yuan Hongwen choked up, tears welling in his eyes, and continued with a slightly trembling voice, "Because I didn't receive your letter in time, I missed many important things, which led to so much regret. Here, uncle solemnly apologizes to you. All this is due to your sister's ignorance and negligence..."

At this time, Huang shouted anxiously: "Master!"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes, as if she was dissatisfied with Yuan Hongwen's words.

After all, this happened a while ago, and Yuan Xin is already sad enough, so why do you keep bringing it up?

Yuan Wei glanced at Huang, then slowly lowered her eyes and whispered, "My uncle has already mentioned this in his letter. Wei'er knows that her influence is insignificant and understands the difficulties involved. However, I can't help but feel a little regretful about the hasty holding of my father's funeral."

After saying this, she sighed softly, as if expressing the helplessness and regret in her heart.

Then, Yuan Wei raised her head, looked at Yuan Hongwen firmly, and said softly, "I thought my uncle no longer recognized me as his niece. Maybe I did something wrong, so he doesn't want me to visit him again?"

There was a hint of loss and confusion in her tone, which made people feel pity for her.

When Yuan Hongwen heard this, he was surprised and asked quickly, "Why do you think so?"

His eyes were full of confusion and puzzlement, and he was obviously very surprised by Yuan Wei's words.

Huang glared at Yuan Wei and was about to explain, but was interrupted by Yuan Wei.

Yuan Wei smiled slightly and replied calmly, "A few days ago, I sent someone to deliver a visiting card, but I haven't received a reply from your family yet. I thought there was a problem in some link, or that I didn't do something well enough, which led to my uncle not letting me in."

She finished, frowning slightly, looking confused and worried.

"Actually, Wei'er made the bold move to visit me today just to find out the reason."

Yuan Wei said with a look of relief, "Fortunately, now we know that uncle still recognizes us."

After hearing what she said, Yuan Hongwen would be stupid if he didn't understand what was going on.

He turned to look at Huang, who was flustered but trying to remain calm. "Is that true? Perhaps the servants lost the post out of ignorance and didn't dare report it. Don't worry, Wei'er. Auntie will punish them severely later."

When Yuan Hongwen heard this, he felt annoyed.

He knew in his heart that all this was Huang's doing, not some servant who lost the post.

He was now unable to expose his wife's lies in public and could only endure the frustration silently.

Yuan Hongwen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his inner anger and helplessness.

He regretted why he chose to marry such a stupid woman and now she has brought him so much trouble and worries.

What a misfortune for our family!

He slowly stood up and bowed deeply to Yuan Wei, expressing his apology. "It's uncle's fault. All explanations are empty talk. Uncle apologizes to you here and I hope you can forgive me."

Seeing this, Yuan Wei quickly stood up and helped Yuan Hongwen up, "Uncle, you don't have to do this. I don't mean to blame you."

Hearing this, Yuan Hongwen smiled and said, "That's good, that's good. It's your uncle who is sorry for you. I promise that this won't happen again."

Yuan Haoxuan, who was standing aside at this time, was completely dumbfounded. All this happened so quickly. He never expected that his father would personally apologize to Yuan Wei!

He turned to look at his mother Huang in confusion, only to see that Huang was staring at Yuan Wei with a ferocious look on her face. But after just a moment, she quickly put away her ferocious expression.

Yuan Haoxuan even suspected that he was seeing things.

At this moment, Yuan Hongwen and Yuan Wei exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then took Su Yuebai and Yuan Haoxuan to the study.

Only Huang and Yuan Wei were left sitting in the living room, silent to each other.

Huang didn't say anything, and Yuan Wei sat there quietly drinking tea without saying a word.

Time passed minute by minute, and no one knew how long it had been before Huang suddenly said, "You're fine."

Yuan Wei smiled slightly and responded, "Thank you for the compliment, Auntie. I think I'm pretty good too."

Huang was so angry that she was speechless. She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down, and said in a deep voice, "My head hurts a bit. I'm going to rest for a while. Please do as you please, niece."

After saying that, Huang turned and left without giving Yuan Wei a chance to speak, leaving only Yuan Wei and Fan Shuang in the hall.

"Miss?" Fan Shuang called softly as she watched Huang's back gradually moving away.

She was full of doubts and really didn't know how to evaluate the girl's aunt.

Who would treat guests like this?

He actually left the guest alone and left first.

"It's okay." Yuan Wei patted Fan Shuang's hand comfortingly, then leisurely picked up the teacup, took a sip, and slowly savored the fragrance of the tea.

After finishing her tea, she slowly put down the cup, stood up and walked out the door.
