Chapter 10: Unclean and Guilty?

Probably because the Old Mistress was afraid that it might happen again, she stopped picking on Chenyan.

She ordered the maid, “Serve the shrimp soup I made from the Australian shrimps to the Young Master!”

“Your complexion hasn’t been looking good, so I ordered some sea shrimps for you. Since your stomach has been sensitive since young, you can only eat this seafood fresh. It’s been made since just now but it took you so long to arrive!”

The Old Mistress was sulking a little!

The corners of Yuan Xuan’s lips curled up and his sharp eagle-like eyes were shining brightly. He then revealed in a subtle tone,

“The Young Master of the Shao Family in the Capital City is planning to cooperate with me on the oil field in the Southern Sea. Little Xuan is the only one who has the right to be in charge of it! You should know that the Shao Family cannot be underestimated!”

How could the Old Mistress not know about the Capital City’s Shao Family?

The Shao Family’s Old Master was Yuan Tangbai’s childhood friend. When they were younger, they both chased after Yuan Xuan’s mother!

However, Yuan Tangbai’s character was better, so Jiao Shuzhen choose the Yuan Family!

Nevertheless, this woman had a hard life. After giving birth to Yuan Xuan, her health plummeted and she passed away after Tangbai’s tragic incident!

Now that he mentioned the Shao Family, the Old Mistress recalled that there was also a Young Master in the Shao Jing Mountain who was about the same age as Yuan Xuan!

“Are you talking about that boy Shao Yibai?”

The Old Mistress recalled meeting the fair and clean-looking boy when he was younger. Unexpectedly, he was now in charge of the Shao Family?

Yuan Xuan raised the corners of his eyes and said calmly, “Yes, he is the boy that Old Mistress is talking about!”

The Yuan Old Mistress smiled, “The grandchildren generation is making us seem old. When I think about that child, he was only 10 years old in my memories. He probably grew up to be as handsome as you are now, right?”

“You’re right, Grandma, he is indeed very handsome. He even said that he wanted to visit you in a few days!”

“We might be very busy these few days, that’s why he could not do so sooner. He told me to deliver this message so that you won’t be angry with him!”

The Yuan Old Mistress sighed, “Little Xuan, why are you working so hard when the Yuan Family is not in need of money? If only you agreed to inherit your father’s official position…”

Yuan Xuan took the teapot and looked inside the pot, “Old Mistress, it’s not good to drink tea at night as you’ll get insomnia!”

It was the same every time, Yuan Xuan would always change the topic whenever she mentioned this.

The Old Mistress lowered her eyelids and stopped talking after Yuan Xuan interrupted her topic.

After seeing Yuan Xuan finish a bowl of shrimp soup and drank some of the Yuan Family’s home-brewed wine, the Old Mistress was satisfied.

Being leaving, Yuan Xuan ordered the girl who had been serving the Old Mistress, “Bring me a bowl of shrimp soup, I want to bring it back to the Hibiscus Garden!”

The girl was called Jiu’er. She had been a helper in the Yuan Family for 10 years and was the Old Mistress’s most thoughtful helper. Upon hearing Young Master’s orders, she looked towards the Old Mistress.

The Old Mistress knew clearly that he wanted to bring it back for Mu Chenyan!

“Jiu’er, deliver a bowl of soup for the Young Master!”

Yuan Xuan smiled lightly when he saw the unhappy look on the Old Mistress’ face, “I thank Grandma on behalf of Chenyan!”

“Hmmph! You’ve forgotten about Grandma after marrying a wife. You should go. I have nothing more to say, but that girl better be clean and innocent. Otherwise, I won’t let her ruin the Yuan Family’s hundreds year reputation!”

Yuan Xuan did not say a word and took over the coat that the maid passed to him!

The man’s side profile seemed near perfect with his upright stature and thick hair resting on his forehead!

Yuan Xuan could not help but sigh when he heard his grandmother doubting Chenyan.

That silly girl had been obsessed with him ever since she was 10 and there was no one else in her eyes!

When she finally got to marry him, something like that had to happen on her wedding day!

Now that he thought about it, she was once pure and simple-minded. She probably did not even have the chance to be unfaithful, so how could she be unclean and guilty?
