Grandmother Ming was about to say something, but the head of the Ming Family spoke first, “We should discuss the wedding date. Ah Jiu and Ningning are not getting any younger.”
“Before we go here, we checked a few dates. There are auspicious days in the twelfth month and the first month. It’s up to you to choose,” Su Xi presented three options they had selected.
One was two months later, another was three months later, and the last one was seven months later.
The date seven months later was immediately ruled out by the Ning family, leaving the choice between the twelfth and first months.
Finally, the head of the Ming family chose the ninth day of the first month.
“Alright, then it’s the ninth day.”
As the two families were happily discussing the wedding arrangements, Yu Manxue suddenly interjected, “That’s the day I’m getting married. She can’t get married on that day.”
Su Xi frowned disapprovingly at Yu Manxue and said, “Is this how the Yu family teaches their daughters?”
“Miss Yu’s brother is also an official in the court, right? A fifth-ranked official. It seems we’ll have to ask Xiao Yu to look into this person later,” Su Jiu said meaningfully.
Upon hearing this, Madam Yu’s expression changed. Her son had worked hard to reach his current position, and she couldn’t let her daughter ruin it for him.
“Apologize, Manxue.”
“Mother…” Yu Manxue looked at her mother defiantly, clearly unwilling to apologize.
“I said apologize,” Madam Yu frowned, her expression turning sour.
Yu Manxue knew her mother was genuinely angry this time. “I’m sorry, I know I was wrong.”
Su Jiu glanced at Yu Manxue but remained silent. Ming Wanning also looked at her, feeling very displeased.
Yu Manxue really hasn’t learned her lesson. She always wants to be in the spotlight and compete for everything, even trying to snatch the wedding date. She’d better not give her the chance, or she will definitely regret it for the rest of her life.
“Cousin, you should learn how to speak properly in the future, so as not to offend others. It’s not a good look, don’t you think?” Ming Wanning looked at Yu Manxue and spoke with a smile, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes.
Yu Manxue’s hand under her sleeve clenched tightly, her expression turning sour. She wanted to say something, but with Su Jiu beside her, she dared not speak out.
Remaining silent, Yu Manxue harbored resentment. They still had three months before the wedding. Who knew what might happen during that time?
Su Jiu furrowed his brow at Yu Manxue’s malicious gaze. It seemed she still hadn’t learned her lesson.
In the future, he find an opportunity to give her a good lesson.
“Xiao Jiu, is the young man from the Yu family working under your command?” Su Xi suddenly asked, breaking his silence.
Su Jiu was momentarily surprised, then nodded with a smile. “Yes, that’s correct.”
“Ah,” Su Xi nodded, indicating that he understood, and didn’t say much else.
However, that single cold “ah” contained a lot of meaning.
Madam Yu’s complexion turned pale. She knew that Su Xi’s response was a warning for her to keep Yu Manxue in check.
After finalizing the wedding date and sharing a meal together, the Su family returned home. On the way back, Su Xi spoke up, “The young lady from the Yu family has a deceitful nature. Xiao Jiu, ask Xiao Yu to send two female bodyguards with martial arts skills to serve as maids for her.”
“Yes, Grandpa.”
After seeing Su Xi and the others off, Su Jiu went to Su Yu’s house and informed him of the matter.
Su Yu instructed Yuan Bao to make the arrangements. While waiting, Wang Jinhe asked, “Big brother, has the date been chosen?”
“It’s been decided. It will be the ninth day of the first month.”
“The date is quite auspicious,” Wang Jinhe said with a smile.
While the three were chatting, tensions were rising in the Ming family.
Grandmother Ming was seeking justice for Yu Manxue and her mother.
“Are you just going to stand by and watch your sister and niece being bullied? Is this how you act as brothers and uncles?” Grandmother Ming said angrily.
“We want to be good brothers and uncles, but how have they treated us? Since they’ve done such things, they should pay the price. They can forget about anything from our family in the future,” the head of the Ming family stated.
“The quantity of seasonal fruits and vegetables we can purchase is limited. We won’t be providing them to her in the future,” the head of the Ming family stated directly.
Previously, they had only done this privately, but now they were openly speaking such words, which was humiliating for Yu Manxue.
“Do you think we care?”
“Didn’t you eagerly rush over to our house when we bought watermelons before? You even snatched two of them. Now you’re saying you don’t care? Does your face not hurt from saying that? Too bad, when strawberries and dragon fruits are in season, some people won’t have the pleasure of enjoying them,” Ming Wanqing said sarcastically.
After speaking, she turned to Ming Wanning, “Sister, can you ask your husband to buy more strawberries for us in the future? I love strawberries the most.”
“I love them too.”
“Sister Ning, we all love strawberries. The seasonal strawberries are just so delicious, we can’t get enough of them.”
“Alright,” Ming Wanning knew that her sister was trying to provoke Yu Manxue, so she naturally agreed to her request.
“Sister is the best.”
Yu Manxue looked at Ming Wanqing’s smug expression, feeling extremely frustrated.
“Ming Wanqing, you…”
“How am I? Even if you envy and resent me, I won’t share with you.”
“Grandmother, look at them,” Yu Manxue had no choice but to seek grandmother Ming.
She had become picky from eating seasonal produce, and she couldn’t bring herself to eat ordinary meals.
“Enough, they are all sisters. There’s no need for this,” grandmother Ming said.
“Sisters? When they were snatching things from my sister and squeezing her out, did they think about being sisters? Did you say that at that time, Grandmother?” Ming Wanqing grumbled discontentedly.
Grandmother Ming was embarrassed by Ming Wanqing’s words.
“Is this how you teach your daughter?” How dare she talk back to her elders.
” Did Qingqing, say something wrong?” The head of the Ming family didn’t think his youngest daughter had said anything wrong.
At that time, Yu Manxue and her mother were quite pleased, with the support of the old lady, they could do whatever they wanted. But now, things were different.
“Grandmother, what’s going on? We all know the truth. Our relationship isn’t that good. For someone who tried to harm my daughter, it’s a pipe dream to expect me to give her anything good,” the head of the Ming Family said coldly.
The expression on grandmother Ming’s face was somewhat unnatural as she forced a smile and said, “How can you still remember something that happened so long ago?”
“I can remember this for a lifetime,” he said, then left with his wife and daughter.
The Head of the Ming family and Ming Family’s third uncle looked at Yu Manxue and her mother mockingly before leaving.
Grandmother Ming never expected that the head of the Ming family would give her no face at all. It was a complete disgrace for her.
“Grandmother…” Madam Yu was also somewhat angry, but it was indeed something they had done.
“I want that vile Ming Wanning dead.”
