Chapter 608 - 609: It’s Not Your Place to Speak [Extra for ’Banxia Liuli’]
Yu Siqiao grew impatient, and the groomsmen, sensing that something was amiss, Li Shaobai stepped forward with a conciliatory smile, "Aunt Yu, Princess Mo has always been beautiful, and there are plenty of people who like her. If she had to counsel everyone who does, wouldn’t that be exhausting for her?"
Yu Nana was nonchalant in her response, "How can you even compare that? Kaiqi is her cousin, not just some random person, okay? Of course, she doesn’t have to bother with just anyone’s whims, but since Kaiqi is her cousin and he’s upset, it’s only right for his cousin-in-law to give a little guidance. Besides, the whole reason for his bad mood is their marriage, so they’re the ones who should be responsible for alleviating it, don’t you think, my dear niece-in-law?"
Mo Shu was shocked by her thick-skinned audacity and was temporarily at a loss for words.
Yu Siqiao: "..."
He finally understood why his old man always said that Aunt Yu’s family was a handful to deal with.
It turns out, it wasn’t just business matters one needed to be wary of—ordinary social interactions required caution as well!
In just a few exchanges, she had managed to put them on the defensive with her remarkably thick skin.
Qin Fusi stepped in to smooth things over, "Ha-ha, it’s all because sister-in-law is so gorgeous. Many people have said that a charming woman like her getting married would definitely break a lot of hearts, and it seems that Brother Yu’s cousin is one of them."
"That’s for sure. My former roommate was really into sister-in-law, but since she was already taken, he could only brood in sorrow. After all, everyone knows sister-in-law likes Brother Yu, and any slightly smart person would know better than to pine after her and instead move on to someone else," Yi Lu said lazily, glancing at Aunt Yu.
Aunt Yu gave a cold snort upon hearing this, "My son is nothing like those fickle-hearted men; he is very devoted. Once he likes someone, that’s it—how could he just switch to someone else?"
"Aunt Yu is right," Ji Nan suddenly said. "Being faithful is an excellent trait. Aunt Yu’s son must be a very decent person."
Aunt Yu, swelling with pride at the praise for her son, declared, "Of course, my son is both handsome and devoted."
Ji Nan saw that she had taken the bait and continued, "That’s what’s so great about devoted people. Once they like someone, they’re set on that person alone, not even giving a glance to others, let alone giving others any hope."
Aunt Yu promptly agreed, "Exactly, ah!"
"Our Princess is the same—she’s been single-mindedly in love with Young Master Yu all this time, not sparing a glance for anyone else," Ji Nan said. "Now, after so many years, they have finally achieved their happy ending. It should be a reason for the Young Master to sincerely rejoice for Princess Mo’s happiness."
Aunt Yu was left speechless, "Your words make no sense, little lady. How can someone be happy when the person they like has married someone else?"
Ji Nan smiled, "Why not? Princess Mo has never given anyone any hope from the beginning, and he himself is well aware that it’s impossible to end up with Princess Mo. If he truly loves the Princess, he would certainly be happy for her happiness."
Aunt Yu’s face contorted with displeasure, "How do you even know she hasn’t given anyone hope?"
Ji Nan smiled, "My name is Ji Nan, Princess Mo’s personal bodyguard. I’ve been by her side since childhood, so I am very familiar with Princess Mo’s affairs."
"I was wondering who you were, speaking so aggressively. Turns out you’re just a bodyguard," Aunt Yu said disdainfully, "Who gave you the right to speak here?"
