590 jiang rui is a big threat
xuan siyun angrily threw her handbag aside and walked towards old master and old madam’s courtyard without even changing out of her gown.
The two elders were there when she arrived.
He sat in the living room and waited for her.
” i heard that you did a lot of things that didn’t match your status at the banquet at yanyun manor? ”
xuan siyun had just entered the door, but before she could sit down, xuan zan’s questioning voice came.
xuan zan was about 75 years old. the old lady beside him, zhao huan, was two years younger than him. she was already an old woman with gray hair.
but in front of the two, xuan siyun didn’t dare to be careless.
She was the heir of house Xuan in name, and she did have a lot of business in her hands. She had a certain voice, but the power of the house was still in the hands of the old man.
with just one word from the old man, the heir of the xuan family could be changed immediately.
as for why they knew what had happened at the banquet when they had clearly not attended it, it was because xuan zan was still the head of the xuan family.
For the Xuan family to be on par with the Shi, Xie, and Jiang families in the capital, they naturally weren’t simple.
xuan zan had plenty of available manpower under him. just because he didn’t attend the banquet didn’t mean he didn’t send people.
Xuan Siyun didn’t sit down. She just stood there with her head lowered, trying to hide her emotions. she knew that there was no use in quibbling, so she didn’t argue and admitted her mistake. ” “I’m sorry, grandfather, I’ve disappointed you.”
“siyun, i’ve been very satisfied with you ever since i made you my successor. But since half a year ago, you’ve become more and more outrageous. I’m very disappointed in you.”
Xuan Siyun’s heart skipped a beat,”grandfather, I’m Yingluo.”
let me finish first. It’s very rude to suddenly interrupt someone. A qualified heir would not make such a low-level mistake and let others have a hold on him.
Xuan Siyun’s fingernails dug into the palms of her hands as she lowered her head to listen.
“There’s nothing wrong with you wanting to be with the fifth brother of the Jiang family. If you really get married to him, it’ll be good for us, so I’ve never stopped you. But Siyun, one must know how to weigh the pros and cons. I didn’t stop you before because the fifth son of the Jiang family doesn’t have a partner yet, and he has no one else in his heart.”
“when you went to sea city, you saw with your own eyes that he had someone by his side. if you were smart enough, you would have given up long ago. but not only did you not give up, you even tried to provoke them.”
” don’t you know who helped jinrui return to the country? ”
she naturally knew that this was a lesson she had learned from jiang the fifth lord, who had secretly caused trouble for shi yan!
forget it. I still didn’t stop you. After all, an orphan girl from the countryside can’t compare to you. You might have a chance in front of her.
” however, you didn’t give up after guessing that she might be the daughter of the shi family. you even exposed her identity at the banquet today. it’s stupid of you to provoke her! ”
Releasing her tightly clenched hands, Xuan Siyun let her hands hang by her side and clenched them into fists.
She lowered her head and gritted her teeth,”grandfather, I’m sorry. I didn’t control my emotions and made a mistake.” if my actions bring losses to house xuan, i’m willing to take full responsibility.”
Xuan Siyun was already regretting her impulsiveness.
in the past, she would not have felt so regretful, but it was different now.
now, jiang rui was in the capital!
The old man should have known about it already. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have not even given her time to change out of her gown and asked her to come to see him immediately.
Previously, even if Xuan Jinrui had fifth Lord Jiang’s help, she didn’t feel that Xuan Jinrui was a threat. Based on the current situation of the Xuan family, it was impossible for the old master to completely delegate his power within a year or two.
xuan jinrui’s body would not be able to last that long.
But Jiang Rui was different. She was too much of a threat to her!
It wasn’t that she didn’t think of getting rid of the threat, Jiang Rui, first, but Jiang Rui was in Haicheng, and she had Jiang Cheng and Yu Xi behind her!
jiang cheng was already hard enough to deal with, not to mention the third young master of the yu family, whose background was unknown but definitely not simple!
the fifth lord was also staying at the jiang family’s residence in haicheng. she wasn’t sure if the fifth lord would really stay out of it if she really did make a move on jiang rui.
How could she touch Jiang Rui then?
it was not that she had not thought of attacking xuan liuying, but xuan liuying was not a threat to her. Xuan Liuying and Jiang Rui were only blood-related mother and daughter. In terms of relationship, they could not be considered close. even if she did something to xuan liuying, she would not be able to threaten jiang rui.
now that jiang rui was in the capital, it would be easier for her to take action.
but that was before.
now that shi yan had appeared, and xuan jinrui was obviously protecting jiang rui, it was not easy for her to do anything to jiang rui!
moreover, it was obvious that her grandfather was already a little dissatisfied with her.
Under such circumstances, not only could she not lay her hands on Jiang Rui, but she also had to do her best to protect her identity as the heir of the Xuan family and prevent Jiang Rui from stealing her.
Everything really went wrong!
it was all her fault for being too impulsive recently, which put her in such a passive situation.
she used to be very calm, but when did she become so impulsive and irrational?
yes, it was after he met shi yan.
she could actually see how much effort jiang che had put in for shi yan.
at that time, she probably realized that if she did not get rid of shi yan as soon as possible, it would be difficult for her to be with jiang che as she wished.
that’s why all the things that happened later.
But even without Shi Yan, could she really get her wish?
he might not necessarily be defeated.
as soon as this thought came to her mind, xuan siyun shook her head.
it wasn’t like that. if shi yan hadn’t been there, she would have been the most suitable person for jiang che. Jiang che was going to get married in the future, so her chances were greater than everyone else’s!
“You better not drag house Xuan down with you, or you’ll have to take responsibility.”
“Yes.”
Perhaps it was because her attitude was good, but Xuan Zan’s tone softened.”don’t just stand there, take a seat.”
Xuan Siyun thanked him and sat down.
Xuan Zan looked at Zhao Huan.
Zhao Huan ordered someone to pour a cup of tea for Xuan Siyun and asked,”i heard that your cousin has come to the capital?”
it was a kind appearance.
he was no different from the kind old men who loved the younger generation.
Xuan Siyun knew that when she was ruthless, she wasn’t any less ruthless than Xuan Zan.
not all mothers could decisively cut ties with their biological daughter they had doted on for many years in order not to harm their own interests.
When he broke off his relationship with his aunt, not only was his grandfather decisive, but his grandmother was also.
“Yes, I heard that he arrived in the capital last night and big brother sent someone to pick him up. didn’t big brother tell you and grandfather?”
Zhao Huan looked at her and smiled kindly, ” “I told you, but I didn’t believe you until I saw you. I heard that she’s only in her first year of University and has to go to class. I didn’t expect that she would have the time to come to the capital.”
“It’s the weekend Today,” xuan siyun said.
“That’s right, today is the weekend. when people get old, their memories get worse.”
“since your cousin is in the capital, and you’re the heir of the xuan family and her blood-related cousin, you should go and call her over to the xuan family. The child is already so big, but I haven’t seen her yet.”
He said it as if they had deep feelings for each other.
xuan siyun scoffed and mercilessly exposed her. “grandmother, it’s only been a few months since we confirmed that rui ‘er is my cousin’s biological granddaughter. Before that, she has nothing to do with house Xuan.”
“That’s true. However, she’s the daughter of your aunt and that child from the Yu family, and she’s been personally raised by Yuan Sha for so many years, so she shouldn’t be bad. yuan sha is old now, and the younger generation can handle things. you can’t see how powerful she is, but she was a capable person when she was young.”
zhao huan laughed,”we’ve digressed. let’s continue talking about your cousin.” speaking of your cousin, i heard that she told you that your aunt had a car accident at the banquet today?”
xuan siyun scoffed coldly.
so he had been waiting for her here!
