Chapter 2961
"Twisted logic," Pei Wusuang said, curling her lip in disdain.
"Twisted logic becomes right logic if people listen to it," Yan Xiwan replied, unfazed by the tease. She turned to Pan Hongmei and Hu Ya, conspiring on how to make things difficult for the groom.
"Is it right to torment the groom like this? Second Sister, Fourth Sister, remember, you aren't married yet. Be careful, or I'll get revenge later," Pei Wusuang warned.
Yan Xiwan snorted. "What are you saying? As if if I don't torment your man today, you won't torment me later. With your personality, if you didn't stir up trouble when there was a chance, it wouldn't be you."
Yan Xiwan had seen through Pei Wusuang. No matter what, she would cause a scene first.
Pei Wusuang was speechless. Yan Xiwan was right. Even if Yan Xiwan didn't cause trouble now, she would definitely do it when Yan Xiwan got married.
"Fine, then make your noise," Pei Wusuang conceded.
"Weddings are supposed to be lively with some noise," Yan Xiwan said with a grin.
When the groom arrived, Yan Xiwan set up several challenges. The groom had to find the bride's shoe, and she had to feed the bride her pre-departure meal. In truth, it was just for fun and not too excessive.
Afterward, everyone smiled and saw the newlyweds off.
The banquet was set up in the courtyard square. Since both the Pei and Zuo families had some influence in the War Department, they simply arranged tables on the compound's playground to treat everyone to a meal.
Guests arrived one by one.
Ouyang Tianyun found a moment to walk over to Yan Xiwan. "Are you ready?"
"Has that guy arrived?" Yan Xiwan looked outside and indeed saw Guan Feiyan arriving with the Guan family head.
"Yes, she's here," Ouyang Tianyun said with a faint smile.
Yan Xiwan nodded. "Good. We'll make our move soon."
"How do you plan to act?" Ouyang Tianyun asked.
"If it were an ordinary person, I'd have to think. But Guan Feiyan is so brainless that even if we don't go to her, she will come to us."
It wasn't that Yan Xiwan looked down on Guan Feiyan; the woman simply lacked any sense.
Not long after Yan Xiwan finished speaking to Ouyang Tianyun, less than five minutes passed before Guan Feiyan rushed up to them.
"Yan Xiwan, why are you here?" Guan Feiyan looked at Yan Xiwan with dissatisfaction.
Hearing the provocative tone, Yan Xiwan raised an eyebrow at Ouyang Tianyun, as if to say, See? I was right.
Ouyang Tianyun smiled faintly. This person could lack anything, but how could she lack a brain?
Ouyang Tianyun didn't speak, but Yan Xiwan, understanding her perfectly, said, "This person really can lack anything, but how can she lack a brain?"
"Who are you calling brainless?" Guan Feiyan demanded angrily.
Yan Xiwan looked at her with an expression that said, I'm just looking at your lack of brains, but said, "I didn't say anything. Why are you so agitated? Don't tell me you're taking it personally."
Yan Xiwan paused, pretending to be shocked. "You wouldn't really be taking it personally, would you? To be honest, I do think that, but you can't just assume it applies to you. That's really not good."
"Who is taking it personally?" Guan Feiyan looked furious.
"If you weren't taking it personally, why look so angry?" Yan Xiwan glanced at Guan Feiyan. "Haven't you heard the saying 'hiding three hundred taels of silver under the ground'? Look at your expression. That's exactly what it is."
Guan Feiyan wanted to retort but couldn't. Her expression of being furious yet speechless amused Yan Xiwan.
"What? Is what I said wrong?" Yan Xiwan tilted her head, looking at Guan Feiyan. "If you had a brain, how could you fantasize about being a mistress? One must have basic morality. If you lack even that, how can you be a normal person?"
"You're the abnormal one!" Guan Feiyan shouted.
"How do you know I'm not normal?" Yan Xiwan smiled. "If I were normal, my research wouldn't have succeeded, and I wouldn't have developed those medicines. So, if you say I'm not normal, then I'm not normal. I consider myself a fairy descended from heaven."
"You… you…" Guan Feiyan, from a prestigious family, had never encountered someone like Yan Xiwan.
"What? Is what I said wrong?" Yan Xiwan raised an eyebrow. "Besides, if I were the 'normal person' in your eyes, I would have had my partner stolen from me."
Yan Xiwan continued, "I see you're not giving up. Perfect. There are many people here today. I'm here, and my Tianyun is here. Let's clear this up face-to-face, so you stop fantasizing about replacing me."
Yan Xiwan pulled Ouyang Tianyun over and said to Guan Feiyan, "Tianyun, come. Explain to her. Do you know her?"
"The women in my eyes number no more than three or four. One is my mother, one is my mother-in-law, and the third is you. If there are others, it would be our future daughter. I don't know other women well, especially this one. I don't even know where she crawled out from."
Ouyang Tianyun's mocking tone made Guan Feiyan's face flush red.
Yan Xiwan laughed. "That's strange. She came to my school about a month ago, saying you two were true love. She almost claimed she was carrying your child."
Since Yan Xiwan was involved, people nearby paid attention. Plus, Ouyang Tianyun was a legend, so everyone fell silent. Even the newlyweds ignored their own celebration.
"You shameless woman," Pan Hongmei stepped forward. "Over a month ago, you said Ouyang Tianyun cheated on you. But he didn't. Our Fourth Sister said you were fantasizing about being a mistress. I didn't believe it then, but now it seems true."
Anger rose on Ouyang Tianyun's face. "Miss, please clarify. When did I cheat on you? Not only is my fiancée better looking and more educated than you, with common topics and a childhood connection, but I wouldn't like anyone else. Given this, what makes you think you can replace my fiancée and make me cheat?"
Ouyang Tianyun's voice was steady and calm. "If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I assure you, the Ouyang family will not let you or your family behind you off."
Ouyang Tianyun looked at Guan Feiyan. "Now, you can speak. When did I cheat on you?"
Guan Feiyan hadn't expected this to be exposed today.
After all, this was the wedding of the Pei and Zuo families. Ouyang Tianyun was giving them no face.
"This is not the right time or place for this topic," Guan Feiyan said, feeling the most important thing now was to dodge this phase.
Yan Xiwan raised an eyebrow. "It's fine. Don't worry about ruining the wedding. I think everyone is curious about a mistress like you."
"Why curious?" Ouyang Tianyun asked, playing along.
"What's there not to be curious about? Those who aren't married yet can learn some experience, so they don't meet someone like her in the future."
Yan Xiwan sneered. "Honestly, I never look down on mistresses. They earn their living with their own skills. Although people with normal thoughts and knowledge like us wouldn't understand the benefits of that path, we don't judge others because we don't understand. But you are different. You are a fantasy mistress. One never knows when such a person will strike. What if she tries to steal her best friend's partner? What if she tries to steal her sister's marriage? So, after thinking it over, it's good for everyone to see."
Yan Xiwan spread her hands and continued, "It's a good opportunity today for everyone to see. So, I don't think the bride and groom will blame me."
"Fourth Sister, just ask. I'm getting married today, and I hate mistresses and fourth wives the most, especially those who think they are right," Pei Wusuang said directly.
Yan Xiwan smiled at Pei Wusuang, then looked at Guan Feiyan. "See? The bride has no objection. So, we should handle our problem."
Looking at Yan Xiwan's smile, Guan Feiyan felt a very bad premonition.
"What are you going to do?" Guan Feiyan's voice trembled, as if Yan Xiwan were bullying her.
Yan Xiwan laughed again. "You say, I haven't cursed you, nor have I beaten you. I'm reasoning with you. I haven't even held it against you that you came to my school a month ago, openly claiming you were a mistress and had an affair with my Tianyun. That was truly like a corpse speaking or a dried fish swimming. If I hadn't trusted my Tianyun completely, your 'praise' might have broken us up. And yet, I haven't even asked you why you did this, and you're asking what I'm going to do?"
"This person is so shameless," people nearby sneered.
Although many men had affairs, families usually turned a blind eye. They never faced this situation. Because those women usually wanted money or power, and once satisfied, they wouldn't come to the door out of fear.
But this woman was unexpected.
Dressed neatly, with the aura of a prestigious family, she didn't seek a proper marriage but fantasized about being a mistress. Worse, the man didn't even know she existed. It was a disgrace to all women.
"Tell me, what was your motive for plotting against me and my Tianyun?" Yan Xiwan looked at Guan Feiyan.
Guan Feiyan forced a smile. "What plotting? You're overthinking it. I never thought of plotting against you."
