"Who else has arrived?"
Yuan Bao touched his nose and asked curiously.
"Why don’t you take a guess?"
Wei Qiqi raised her eyebrows at Yuan Bao with pride.
"Could it be that my godfather and godmother have co too?"
Upon hearing Wei Qiqi’s words, Yuan Bao instantly perked up. After all, it’s the second day of the New Year, and he should be visiting his godfather and godmother to pay respects.
Thinking of this, Yuan Bao prepared to climb down.
But Wei Qiqi stopped her.
"No, they’re not here!"
Wei Qiqi blinked.
"Is Ruan here?"
Yuan Bao guessed again.
With Ruan around, things could get interesting!
"Nope!"
"What?! Then who has co?"
Yuan Bao was a bit dazed. "Could it be that Uncle Wushang has arrived?"
"Not him either!"
Wei Qiqi continued shaking her head.
Alright, Yuan Bao gave up thinking.
"Qiqi, then who exactly has arrived? Just tell !"
"Jiaojiao, why don’t you guess again? Maybe next ti you’ll get it right!"
Wei Qiqi teased Yuan Bao, speaking with a grin.
"I’m done guessing!"
"Can’t guess it!"
Yuan Bao finally understood that Wei Qiqi was just ssing with her.
"Hehe, then let tell you!"
Wei Qiqi leaned closer to Yuan Bao, whispered into her ear, and said, "It’s Ruan’s grandmother!"
"Ah?!"
Upon hearing Wei Qiqi’s words, Yuan Bao was dumbfounded.
Ruan’s grandmother is none other than the Eldest Princess of Daxia, the emperor’s own aunt.
Is this a family eting?
"Jiaojiao, let tell you, Ruan’s grandmother is the Eldest Princess, very formidable!"
"..."
Yuan Bao was very puzzled.
Didn’t the Eldest Princess say before that after the New Year, her uncle would bring her to visit? How co she arrived unexpectedly, and voluntarily?
What’s the reason?
"Qiqi, why did Ruan’s grandmother co?"
"How would I know?"
Wei Qiqi shrugged, "I just ca by to play with you!"
Yuan Bao blinked and asked, "Qiqi, should I go and pay New Year respects to Ruan’s grandmother? I probably should!"
"Of course you should!"
Wei Qiqi laughed, "But, Jiaojiao, you can’t call the Eldest Princess grandmother like Ruan does; you have to call her ’Mrs. Zeng’ like I do!"
"Why’s that?"
"Because normally, I should be calling Ruan my aunt!"
"Only in private do I call her Ruan."
"Ruan is of the sa generation as my father and mother."
"I understand!"
After hearing Wei Qiqi’s explanation, Yuan Bao finally got it. However, she was still sowhat confused about the generational hierarchy between the Wei Family and the Ruan Family.
Of course, she didn’t actually need to understand their generational hierarchy. Although she calls Ruan ’sister,’ Ruan and her uncle are a couple, and after they marry, she must call Ruan ’mother’ according to custom.
Therefore, in facing the Eldest Princess, her generational rank drops a level.
"Let’s go, I’ll take you to pay New Year respects!"
"Hehe, the Eldest Princess is quite generous and gives really fun New Year gifts every ti I visit for New Year’s greetings!"
Walking towards the reception room in the front courtyard, Wei Qiqi seed like the master of the house.
Yuan Bao, the real owner, felt more like a guest.
"Qiqi, how co you’re more familiar with this place than I am?"
Yuan Bao couldn’t help but question the origins of this mansion.
"Of course!"
Wei Qiqi laughed proudly, "I’ve been here plenty of tis before!"
