Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Ruan Wan’s Impressive Background
The pastries in the small bundle were not just of one kind, but several. However, Yuan Bao only recognized rose pastries, plum blossom scented cakes, pea rolls, and little peach pastries, which she had eaten at the Wei Mansion. As for the remaining pastries, Yuan Bao hadn’t tried them before, so naturally, she couldn’t name them.
But whatever they’re called, as long as they taste good, that’s what matters.
Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng watched Yuan Bao cheerfully and said, "Jiaojiao, go ahead and eat, Grandpa (Grandma) isn’t hungry right now!"
Although there was a variety of pastries, the quantity of each was small, and they weren’t large in size.
To the elderly couple, these were specifically for Yuan Bao as snacks, and they wouldn’t compete for them.
"Grandpa, Grandma, you should try some!"
"These are really delicious!"
"Much better than what we can buy from the pastry shop!"
"Come on, have some, have some!"
In the end, under Yuan Bao’s enthusiastic invitation, Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng each picked two to taste.
Only then did Yuan Bao start picking and eating hers.
However, she didn’t finish them all; after consulting with the elderly couple, she distributed some of the pastries to her cousins.
Even Yuan Shouhu, who was confined to his room, received two pieces from Yuan Bao.
As for Yuan Zhaodi and Mrs. Xiao Li, unfortunately, there were none for them.
It’s not that Yuan Bao meant to exclude them, it’s just that there was only a small amount in the bundle, and by the time she divided it up, there was none left.
...
In the late afternoon, Yuan Yindi finally returned from the city.
Naturally, she also brought back news about Ruan Wan.
Ruan Wan was no ordinary girl from an ordinary family.
To be precise, Ruan Wan was considered royal kin.
Her maternal grandmother was the eldest aunt of the Emperor Xia of Daxia, a legitimate Eldest Princess of Daxia.
And Ruan Wan was the daughter of this Eldest Princess’s most beloved youngest daughter, receiving considerable affection.
The moment Yuan Yindi learned about Ruan Wan’s background, she wished she could just die on the spot.
But given the situation, she could only gather her courage and push forward.
"Xiao Wu, this marriage, our family cannot possibly match up!"
Not to mention Ruan Wan’s maternal grandmother being the Eldest Princess, the Ruan Family itself is one of Daxia’s elite families.
Back when they were in Sanchuan City, Yuan Shougui envied Sheng Xueyi’s Sheng Family, but even they weren’t qualified to be lackeys for the Ruan Family.
Due to Sheng Xueyi alone, they had to give up on Yuan Shougui, their eldest grandson, and relocate the entire family to Beishan Village. And now, their youngest son’s love interest had such an impressive background.
Although she’s not a princess or a county princess, Ruan Wan’s background is genuinely overwhelming.
"Dad, Mom, it’s different!"
Yuan Yindi was also somewhat distressed.
Because her existence was already known to the Ruan Family.
Furthermore, under the loose tongue of Wei Wushang, Ruan Wan’s maternal grandmother, the Eldest Princess of Daxia, also learned about this matter and sent word for her to bring Yuan Bao to meet her after the New Year.
Frankly speaking, now Yuan Yindi was in a dilemma with no way back.
"Xiao Wu, does this marriage just have to happen then?"
Thinking about the future daughter-in-law’s origins, Mrs. Zeng suddenly felt that maybe it was best to just stay in the village.
With a daughter-in-law of such stature, she wouldn’t even know how to interact.
"Grandma, sister Ruan is really nice!"
Yuan Bao didn’t see any problem with the marriage. If both were in love, as long as sister Ruan’s family didn’t object, and her little uncle could take the initiative, their future life could definitely flourish.
"Silly girl!"
Mrs. Zeng thought of her precious granddaughter now being adopted under her youngest son’s name. Once the youngest son marries, what awkward position would her precious granddaughter be in?
