Chapter 721: 082 Liu i_2 Chapter 721: 082 Liu i_2 Liu i, her face flushed with embarrassnt and puffing with anger, huffed loudly, and just when everyone thought the two of them were going to start arguing, they were surprised to find that Liu i, who was known to not tolerate any dissent, did not say a word and kept silent.
This was not a good sign.
Lady Liu knew Liu i fairly well, it would have been better if she had started arguing right then and there.
Now, was there sothing else going on?
Because of the tension between Lady Liu and Liu i, the reunion among the sisters gradually lost its warmth.
The other won, seeing that things were amiss, excused themselves one by one.
Lady Liu still had a favorable impression of these won and promised to visit the Lin family valley more often in the future.
Before leaving, Lin Yuan had thoughtfully prepared a box of Rice Flower Fragrance pastries for each of them as a gift.
Although the pastries from Rice Flower Fragrance were delicious, they were no longer a novelty for the Liu family who often enjoyed them.
Lin Yuan had intentionally prepared many pastries before her arrival because she wasn’t clear about the other elders in the Liu family and didn’t know if Lady Liu would visit other relatives for the New Year, which was why she had prepared extras.
Now, they would make perfect gifts for the aunts.
Upon seeing the prominent “Rice Flower Fragrance” characters on the pastry boxes, the won were overjoyed.
Not to ntion Rice Flower Fragrance pastries, even ordinary pastries were not sothing so of them could enjoy regularly.
They grew to like Lady Liu’s eldest daughter even more, and their envy for Lady Liu edged on boundless.
Liu i had not intended to take one, but she could not resist the delicious pastries.
Even though she had only bought the cheapest products from Rice Flower Fragrance once, she still vividly rembered the taste.
As she took the pastries from Lin Yuan’s hands, Liu i smiled, “Alright then, my dear niece has been thoughtful indeed.
Bring your brothers and sisters over to Aunt i’s place to play soti.”
Lin Yuan had a good impression of the earlier aunts, but she really couldn’t bring herself to like this last one, even finding her superior attitude sowhat repellent.
“Of course,” she replied politely, nodding her head.
Lin Yuan didn’t say anything more to her and didn’t even extend the sa invitation to visit Rice Flower Fragrance that she had made to the previous won.
Lady Liu and Lin Yuan escorted them to the door where the guests departed happily for ho, except for Liu i who lingered behind, hesitating.
Sensing that this woman had sothing to discuss with her mother, Lin Yuan, though concerned her mother might be at a disadvantage, made an excuse to leave but didn’t go far.
“Ahem, Xianshu, there’s sothing I don’t know whether I should remind you of.”
Lady Liu was clearly still hung up on the earlier argunt, her expression cloudy as she coldly responded, “If you want to say sothing, say it.
If not, I’m leaving.”
Hiding and eavesdropping, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but chuckle.
It turns out her worries were unfounded; ever since she had a son, Lady Liu had beco much sharper with her words.
Liu i was so choked up by the response that it took her a long ti to squeeze a sentence through her teeth, “I’m soone who speaks her mind.
As your good sister, whether you like it or not, I feel compelled to remind you.”
Lin Yuan curled her lip—is that really speaking your mind?
It was clear she just looked down on others, not filtering her words.
If she were facing Lady Jin, the Madam County Magistrate, would she still be so blunt?
Not bowing and scraping would be strange indeed!
Lady Liu also curled her lip—thinking she’s a good sister?
Wishful thinking!
After making sure no one was eavesdropping in the courtyard, Liu i continued, “Xianshu, I’m not trying to criticize you, but you can wait a few more years for your daughter’s marriage.
However, your younger sister’s marriage can’t be put off.
She’ll be twenty-one after the New Year.
It’s unheard of in rural areas, towns, or even in the Capital city for a girl of her age to be unwed.
Oh yes, there might be, but those girls either have a hidden illness or did sothing shaful when they were younger.”
Without letting her finish, Lady Liu snapped back, “What?
Dai, what are you implying?
That my sister has a hidden illness or that she’s done sothing shaful?
Hmph, don’t you go making wild guesses here.
I’m telling you, my sister is a capable woman.
She opened her own distillery in the town!
It’s not that no one wants her; it’s that she doesn’t find those n worthy.
Just you wait, she will definitely find an exceptional man!”
