Luckily, the Weng Family has no connections in Beijing. Even if the son causes trouble, it wouldn’t stir up much of a commotion.
Young Master Weng immediately apologized to Madam Weng, who waved her hand indifferently.
At this moment, Madam Weng spoke up: "Mother, where are the year-end gifts from the Yan Family?"
Madam Weng glanced at her and instructed the maid to bring out the food: "Take it and divide it. I’ve been busy all afternoon, and I need rest now."
Madam Weng saw there was only this small amount of goods and immediately asked: "The Yan Family’s year-end gifts are just a bit of food?"
Madam Weng ignored her, leaning her head to rest with her eyes closed.
Madam Weng still wanted to inquire further but was stopped by Young Master Weng.
"Mother, let’s not disturb Grandmother’s rest anymore."
Since her eldest son had spoken, Madam Weng had no choice but to take the items and leave the room, though her heart was filled with dissatisfaction.
Outside the door, Madam Weng immediately said: "The Yan Family is the maiden family of Princess Consort Wei Yuan. How could their year-end gifts possibly be so paltry? Clearly, your grandmother handed the good things over to Yueying. This won’t do; I must go get it back from her."
Young Master Weng quickly stopped her, rubbing his temple as he asked: "Mother, why does the Yan Family send year-end gifts to our family?"
Madam Weng was momentarily speechless: Why indeed? It was all because of Ye Yueying.
Young Master Weng continued: "The fact that our family can even associate with the Yan Family is thanks to Cousin. Hence, if Grandmother gave the year-end gifts to Cousin, it is only reasonable. Mother, please don’t stir up trouble."
Not bringing Cousin along to the Qian Family today had already been a major mistake. Now, they absolutely must not antagonize her further.
Second Miss Weng disliked seeing Young Master Weng defending Ye Yueying and pouted: "Brother, the Yan Family simply sent year-end gifts; I think we shouldn’t take it too seriously to avoid being disappointed later."
Young Master Weng was silent. Indeed, these past few days were the peak of gatherings among families. If the Yan Family truly valued Cousin, why hadn’t they extended an invitation for them to visit?
Second Miss Weng saw her words were effective and continued: "The Ye Family is already gone; what can Ye Yueying alone accomplish? Perhaps the Yan Family’s invitation last time, and the year-end gifts this time, are just for show, aiming to gain a favorable reputation among others."
