Chapter 312: Chapter 292: Preaching_1
“Why on earth did you have to provoke her?”
Xiao Yeyang shook his head at Yan Wenxiu, who was left speechless by the scolding.
“Exactly, brother!”
Yan Wenkai stepped forward, patted his older brother’s shoulder, and spoke earnestly, “Don’t you know our sister by now? She’s clever, quick-witted, and articulate. It would be another thing if she wasn’t in the right, but this time, she clearly was. Could you really out-talk her?” ƒгeewebnovёl.com
“Now you’ve gotten an earful, haven’t you?”
Deserved!
Just as Yan Wenxiu opened his mouth to speak, Xiao Yeyang looked over and said, “Daohua is different from other girls. Why do you always try to bind her with the standards of others? Can’t you just let her be happy and live freely?”
He didn’t see confronting the merchant’s son as a big deal at all.
Moreover, Daohua had been quite polite; she didn’t name names or directly embarrass anyone, just meandered through a few words of criticism—what was the harm in that?
Yan Wenkai immediately nodded in agreement, “That’s right, big brother. Girls have delicate thoughts and think more deeply than us. We should indulge her more in normal times. Why would you seek discomfort?”
Hearing this, Su Hongxin immediately joined in with a laugh, “Not bad, Yan Wenkai. I didn’t expect you to be so tender and protective towards women.”
Yan Wenkai gloated, “I’ve only got one sister, of course I spoil her.”
Yan Wenxiu immediately looked over, “What are you talking about? What do you mean ‘only one sister’? Where do you put Yiyi and the others?”
Yan Wenkai paused, then awkwardly chuckled, “Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue. I meant to say ‘only one legitimate sister’.” He finished speaking and murmured quietly, “Anyway, I only like my big sister.”
Seeing his reaction, Yan Wenxiu shook his head and sighed, about to say something when Dong Yuanxuan came over and patted him on the shoulder as well, “Wenxiu, having a sister like Yan’s sister, it’s fine to spoil her a bit more. I think it’s good to protect family members this way.”
He was very indulgent towards Yuanyao.
Born into an aristocratic family, he felt his sister’s carefree and joyful smile was precious, with the many fetters she had to bear. He liked to see his sister smile and wanted to protect her smile forever.
With that, he sighed deeply.
“Nowadays, our sisters are growing up day by day and won’t be at home much longer. Spoil them a bit more, it’s all right!”
Yan Wenxiu’s lips moved, about to speak, when Zhou Chengye walked over and said in a meaningful way, “I know you’re afraid that making too much fuss will affect the relationship between the Yan and the Feng families. When it comes to these families being engaged, for trivial issues, it’s often best to turn a blind eye.”
“But for today’s matter, I still have to take Yan’s sister’s side.”
“Your family is simple—with only two concubines for your father, you may not understand the pettiness between women. My mother is formidable, isn’t she? Yet, she too has had her share of grievances from my father’s concubines.”
“Let me tell you, there is nothing simple about women. That Sun family girl clearly had no good intentions. If we indulge her now, who knows what trouble may arise later.”
“Some people need to be put in their place, not endlessly cajoled, especially since the Feng family is clearly clinging to your family’s status. To treat your cousin so poorly, indeed, it’s quite improper.”
Yan Wenxiu stood there stunned, bombarded successively by everyone, and grew a little withdrawn.
Had he really done anything wrong? Wasn’t he just looking out for the faces of his uncle and aunt, concerned about escalating the situation, and simply advised his big sister?
First scolded by his big sister and now consecutively barraged by friends, he was not given a chance to speak.
Yan Wenxiu took a deep breath. Although he had been lectured, he took to heart what everyone said.
Most of all, his big sister’s words deeply moved him.
He knew he had many flaws because his upbringing was sheltered and he sometimes lacked thoroughness in his considerations. Though his father had concubines, his mother had never uttered any complaints before him, to the extent that he had never really considered his mother’s feelings.
Reflecting on it now, he had been truly unfilial.
