401. No Next Time (1)
Old Lord Min took out a thousand top-quality spiritual stones to his son. “Take them.”
“Where’s mine, Grandpa?” Min Pinyou quickly moved before him and asked.
Min Pinjie was also unwilling to lag behind, “And me, me.”
“You all have yours.” Smiling, Old Lord Min took out three bags of spiritual stones and gave them to his grandson, his granddaughter and his daughter-in-law.
Old lady Yin introduced to Rong Yi, “Xiaoyi, they are Ye’er’s uncle and aunt, and his cousin Min Pinjie and Min Pinyou.”
Min Liangying took a look at Rong Yi and asked, “Xiaoyuan, who is he?”
Old Lady Yin smiled while saying, “He is Rong Yi, Ye’er’s future partner. From now on, he is our family.”
Min Pinyou snorted, “A total pedantic appearance, he is not worthy to be our family.”
Yin Jinye suddenly darkened his face.
And Min Pinyou instantly shrank behind Old Lady Yin.
Min Liangying made a light cough, “Xiaoyuan, I also don’t think they are suitable for each other. As the Lord of the city, Xiaoye should have a virtuous wife like you who can take care of things in the mansion for him, so that he can manage the whole Guiling town without any worries.”
Yuan Yingying then said, “Yes, Xiaoyuan. However a big man is capable of, he can’t manage the miscellaneous things in the house. Like the kids, they need a mom to take care of them.”
She took her daughter by the hand and said with a smile, “Our daughter Jie’er is very suitable to be the lady of the town. Besides, our daughter is good-looking. I am sure she will take care of Xiaoye and his children, and will give birth to more grandchildren for you.”
“Mom…” Min Pinjie shyly looked at Yin Jinye, and looked away.
Old Lady Yin said with a slight frown, “Big brother and sister-in-law, you don’t know about Xiaoyi. When you get to know about him, you will know that he is a very good child.”
Min Liangying snorted, “However good he is, it’s no better than marrying a woman. Like what your sister-in-law said, our Jie’er is quite suitable to be the lady of the town. Also, we’d be doubly related.”
Yin Jinye coldly stared at them.
Rong Yi quickly took his hand and motioned him to stay silent.
Yuan Yingying looked at Old Lady Min. “Father, mother, do you agree with us?”
Old Lord Min and Old Lady Min looked at each other, “Well…”
Min Liangyin then tried to persuade Old Lady Yin, “Xiaoyuan, don’t be a fool to let Xiaoye marry someone with an unknown background. What if this guy holds some ill intention against Xiaoye and hurts him, it’d be late to regret. But our Jie’er is different, we are family, and she’ll never do something harmful to Xiaoye.”
Then he winked at his son.
Min Pinyou pointed to Rong Yi and said quickly, “If you are wise enough, get the hell out of here, or we’ll beat you out.”
Old Lady Yin sank her face, “We have the final say whether to drive Xiaoyi away or not, not you. If Xiaoyi holds ill intention, he wouldn’t have save our father’s life!”
Yuan Yingying sighed, “Xiaoyuan, he is just trying to let us lower our guard, so when we really take him as our family, he’d take action then.”
Seeing that Yin Jinye only stood there with a darkened face, while Rong Yi was smilingly looking at then, Min Liangying said to Yin Jinye, “Xiaoye, say something.”
Rong Yi asked Min Liangying, “May I say something?”
Min Liangying gave him a snort, “No matter what you say, we will not buy it.”
Rong Yi still maintained that smile, “Since uncle came in, he kept acting as a spendthrift. Once he came in, he asked spiritual stones from grandpa, but his manner was a bit not that suitable, and also he lacks something to serve as a foil to him, like a spendthrift wouldn’t be satisfied for only a thousand spiritual stones, and he is supposed to being served by the servants. But look! He got no single servant around, and still did not ask Jinye to ask someone to wait on you.”
“…” Min Liangying snorted, “My servants are outside. I won’t let them in until I see my parents.”
Rong Yi looked at Yuan Yingying and said, “My aunt meant to play a tart and mean woman. But she has received good education since she was little. So she couldn’t say out those mean words She acts so graceful like a lady, and her voice is gentle, apparently she is a kind and virtuous wife.”
Yuan Yingying, “…”
Rong Yi’s eyes turned to Min Pinjie, “Although she looked shy when she looked at Jinye and said he likes Jinye, but in your eyes I didn’t see a slice of affection, but only appreciation.”
Min Pinjie retorted, “I really like my cousin.”
“There are different kinds of like, like between siblings, friends and partners.”
Min Pinjie, “…”
Rong Yi smiled and then turned to Look at Min Pinyou who was frightened by Jin Jinye, “When Pinyou came in, he tried to act like a dandy, but your graceful action when eating pastries sold you out. That means you are well-behaved person in usual times.”
