Chapter 294: Old Madam’s Sizing Up

After following Butler Zeng into the courtyard, Xia Wanyuan had learned some skills in reading things after spending so many days in the manor.

The courtyard was much larger than Xia Wanyuan had imagined. It was decorated with pavilions and pavilions, and the Nine Zigzag Corridor style was like a large private garden.

If Xia Wanyuan had not walked in from outside, she would have thought that she had entered the Misty Rain River.

It seemed that Jun Shiling was right about the deep foundation of the Wei family.

“Miss Xia is here.”

A voice was heard from outside the door. The hall, which had been filled with low voices, instantly fell silent.

Under everyone’s gazes, Xia Wanyuan leisurely followed Butler Zeng’s guidance and found her seat.

The people sitting at the same table were all juniors of the same age as Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan glanced at them and they seemed to be a little hostile to her, other than a rather handsome man sitting opposite her nodding at her. Xia Wanyuan returned his smile.

Receiving Xia Wanyuan’s elegant smile, Wei Zimu was stunned. This sister he had never seen before was more interesting than he had imagined.

“Old Madam.” Xia Wanyuan had already taken her seat, but everyone’s gazes on her had yet to dissipate. A voice sounded, and Xia Wanyuan acutely sensed a pair of extremely sharp and probing eyes on her.

Xia Wanyuan followed this gaze and saw a silver-haired but rather imposing old lady sizing her up.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at the old lady and retracted her gaze. She picked up the cup beside her and poured herself a glass of water.

Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was still so composed under her scrutiny, some thoughts arose in the old madam’s heart, but she did not show it on her face.

“Let the banquet begin.” The old madam sat on her seat and glanced at the people in the hall. Without saying anything else, she got someone to start the banquet.

Xia Wanyuan had been busy the entire afternoon and was hungry. Just as her chopsticks were about to reach for the pearl meatballs on the table, they were stopped by someone.
