Chapter 226 The Four Families

Chiang Yuxi, as the young miss of the family, had no choice but to greet Yun Qianxue and Yun Qianyu.

“Come and sit with me.”

Yun Qianyu gently nodded her head and went over. However, Yun Qianxue looked at Chiang Yuxi tenderly and said, “Sister Chiang, your family is indeed the best among the four families. So many people have come to congratulate the old madam of the family Chiang.”

Even though Chiang Yuxi had never really liked Yun Qianxue, after hearing her flattering words, she couldn’t help but feel happy.

“It’s nothing, it’s just a normal banquet. My father wanted to prepare a banquet of a hundred tables, but the old madam didn’t want to be extravagant and wasteful. She only agreed to set up eighty tables. With the money saved, the old madam said that we should prepare food for the needy in town and give back to the community for half a month.”

Even though Chiang Yuxi said this in a casual tone, there was a sense of pride when she spoke of this matter.

After hearing that, the ladies in the room praised the Chiang family.

Of course, Yun Qianxue did not forget to praise Chiang Yuxi, “Sister Chiang’s family is really the best family in town.”

In the past, Yun Qianxue would not have groveled like this but since her reputation had been tarnished recently, she urgently needed to have a good relationship with others. That was why she tried her best to suck up to Chiang Yuxi.

Unbeknown to Yun Qianxue however, her as* kissing had struck a nerve among some people, in particular Yan Qingfeng of the Yan Bei family. After listening to Yun Qianxue’s words, she almost got up and gave the woman a hard slap.

Since the Yan Bei family had always been the top family, Yan Qingfeng felt a little offended when she heard Yun Qianxue.

‘This shameless woman! I can’t believe my cousin wants to marry her.’ Yan Qingfeng really couldn’t tell what qualities Yun Qianxue had to become her cousin’s princess consort.

In addition to Yan Qingfeng’s anger, the Su family were also very angry.

Although the Su family did not have a prince to offer, they had very capable people in the family. That was why they had always had a firm position among the four powerful families.

Su Feiyan, as the eldest daughter of the Su family, was a famously talented woman in the capital city. Looking at how Yun Qianxue was acting, she couldn’t help but glare at her in disdain.

Only focused on entertaining Chiang Yuxi, Yun Qianxue did not pay attention to the stares of Yan Qingfeng and Su Feiyan.

Yun Qianyu on the other hand, saw everything. However, she had absolutely no interest in the drama between these ladies.

There were four powerful families in the capital of Dongli state, namely, the Yan Bei family, the Chiang family, the Su family and finally the Yun family.

The four families had always been courteous toward each other. However, they would fight in the dark as women of the four families were frequently sent to the palace as wives.

Although the emperor was the head of the state, he could not do without the support of the four families. Therefore, no matter who became the emperor, they would always marry women of the four families to balance the powers in the state.

Among the royals was the crown prince Xiao Tianyu whose mother was from the Chiang family.

Xiao Tianyao, the Huai Prince, was related to the Yun family.

Xiao Tianyi, the Xuan Prince, was related to the Yan Bei family.

As for the Su family, they didn’t have a prince to aid them in the royal courts.

Since the Su family did not have a prince to back them up, all the princes in the imperial court set their eyes on the Su family, hoping to consolidate their position through marriage. As long as they joined forces with the Su family, their chances of success would be greater.
