The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!

Chapter 575: Chapter 526, Corner of the Mouth_1

Li Residence.

After returning from the Dong Family, Daohua felt somewhat tired and didn’t linger in the main courtyard. She headed back to the guest quarters with Li Zixin, Yan Yihuan, and a few others.

On the way, Yan Yihuan and the others were talking about what they had seen at the Dong Residence.

At first, everyone was talking about amusing incidents between the young ladies of various families, but as they were nearly back to the courtyard, Yan Yile suddenly said in a conspiratorial tone, “Just before dinner, I passed by Miss Jiang and another young lady and heard that Prince Ping had promoted his concubine to his official wife.”

At these words, Yan Yihuan and Yan Yishuang both looked at her together, even Yang Xiujun perked up her ears.

Yan Yishuang was somewhat incredulous, “Really? Is that true?”

Yan Yile: “It must be true, otherwise how could Miss Jiang dare to talk nonsense like that?”

Yan Yihuan looked skeptical, “But today, the Little Prince also went to the Dong Family. If something like that really happened, wouldn’t he want to avoid seeing people?”

Yan Yile shrugged, “Who knows, maybe he’s just pretending to be strong?”

With that, she let out a sneer.

“With Madam Ma being promoted, the Little Prince will no longer be Prince Ping’s only legitimate son. Now he has an elder brother born of the official wife. It’s uncertain whether the title of Prince Ping’s Residence will still be his in the future. Let’s see if he dares to be so arrogant then?”

Listening to Yan Yile’s schadenfreude, Daohua stopped in her tracks and looked at her expressionlessly.

Feeling uncomfortable under that gaze, Yan Yile said, “Big sister, why are you looking at me like that?”

Daohua frowned, “Has Xiao Yeyang offended you?”

Yan Yile pursed her lips and said resentfully, “He doesn’t need to offend me. He simply ignores me. Every time I talk to him, he’s dismissive. Who does he think he is?”

Daohua immediately became angry, “And you, who do you think you are, that everyone should revolve around you? It’s wrong if they don’t pay attention to you? Have you ever considered that it might be your behavior that’s off-putting to others?”

Yan Yile, with her face in a bind and ignoring Yan Yihuan’s attempts to stop her, scoffed, “Yes, I’m not as likeable as you, big sister. I don’t even have the right to talk to the Little Prince. But what does it matter how endearing you are? Do you think you could actually marry the Little Prince?”

“Ooh~”

Hearing this, Yan Yihuan, frightened, quickly covered Yan Yile’s mouth, “Are you crazy? What nonsense are you spouting?” You dare speak about big sister’s marriage like that.

As soon as the words came out, Yan Yile regretted them, especially when she saw Daohua staring at her expressionlessly. Her gaze involuntarily began to falter, and she shrank back behind Yan Yihuan.

Yan Yihuan looked at Daohua apologetically, “Big sister, you know what Yan Yile is like, she just speaks without thinking. Please forgive her.”

Daohua looked up, “What if I don’t forgive her?”

Seeing this, Yang Xiujun quickly spoke up, “Sister Yiyi, Yan Yile is still young and doesn’t understand. Please don’t hold it against her.”

Daohua let out a sneer, her expression turning somewhat indifferent as she glanced at Yang Xiujun, “Sister Xiujun’s words are exactly like those said in defense of An Xi by the young ladies today.”

After finishing her words, she ignored her and looked directly at Yan Yile.

“Our family has benefited a lot from Xiao Yeyang, and your second branch hasn’t been left out of those benefits. As human beings, we should at least know gratitude. If you don’t even have that much conscience, then you’re truly worse than pigs or dogs.”

Yan Yile moved her lips, intending to retort, but ultimately swallowed her words back down.

Daohua glanced around at Yan Yihuan, Yan Yishuang, and the others, “Whether Madam Ma is promoted or not, Xiao Yeyang is still the Emperor’s nephew, a member of the Imperial Family. It’s not our place to talk about these matters. Watch your mouths. If you cause trouble, no one will cover for you.”

With that, her gaze turned back to Yan Yile.

“The fierceness of my youngest sister has me too intimidated to venture out together anymore. You better watch yourself from now on.”

Once she had finished, she pulled Li Zixin away, leaving Yan Yile with an anxious expression on her face.

Yan Yile, grasping Yan Yihuan’s hand, asked, “Second sister, what exactly did our eldest sister mean just now? She couldn’t possibly be restricting me from leaving the house, could she?”

Yan Yihuan’s brows furrowed tightly, and with a look of anger towards her younger sister, seeing that Yan Yishuang and Yang Xiujun were still present, she silently pulled her away.

In the end, only Yan Yishuang and Yang Xiujun remained.

Yang Xiujun pinched her brows, “Sister Yiyi… her heart is just too hard. We are all sisters from the same family. Yile has already apologized, and it wasn’t a major issue, so why be so relentless? And previously at the Dong Residence, she shouldn’t have incited Master He to punish that actor either.”

“Heh~”

Yan Yishuang covered her mouth and let out a snicker, her gaze mocking as she looked at Yang Xiujun, “Sister Xiujun, you have been treated well by our eldest sister since you came to our house. Yet surprisingly, speaking ill of someone behind their back comes so easily to you.”

Yang Xiujun became flustered on the spot, “I… ”

Yan Yishuang, uninterested in her nonsense, tidied her hair and said with a laugh, “Forget it, what does how you act have to do with us? Besides, you will be leaving soon anyway.” Saying this, she left with her maid in tow, not bothering with Yang Xiujun.

After walking away, Yan Yishuang’s maid finally spoke up, “Third Miss, why did you just now speak in defense of the eldest Miss?”

Yan Yishuang replied indifferently, “I may not get along with the eldest sister, but that’s our internal conflict. What place does Yang Xiujun have to speak about the Yan family? She’s just an ungrateful wretch; the very thought is revolting.”

The ladies’ incident was quickly relayed to Madam Li’s ears.

“Slap!”

Madam Li slammed her palm on the table, startling her two sisters-in-law.

Fan Family patted her chest and said, “Little sister, you’re certainly embracing the authority of your noble title more and more.”

Madam Li calmed her anger, “I’ve been nothing but kind and just to the second branch over the years, but they’ve become lawless. Now they even dare to meddle with Yiyi’s marriage arrangements irresponsibly.”

The Yan Family’s affairs were not for Fan Family and Jian Family to comment on further; they could only appease Madam Li’s wrath.

Madam Li furrowed her brows in deep thought for a moment, “Tomorrow, I’ll have Wentao send the two daughters of the second branch back to the Ningmen Prefecture.”

Fan Family was shocked, “Isn’t that too harsh?”

Madam Li laughed coldly, “I’ve been too lenient before, and this time they need a lesson. If not, who knows how much trouble Yile will stir up in the future. If she doesn’t change, she can forget about ever going out with me again.”

Fan Family glanced at Jian Family, then held her tongue, knowing her little sister now had a strong presence in the Yan Family, so they need not worry too much.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, as soon as Daohua came over, Wang Manman hurriedly told her about Madam Li’s decision to send Yan Yihuan and Yan Yile back to Ningmen Prefecture.

After hearing this, Daohua showed little reaction and merely asked, “Who will escort them?”

Wang Manman: “Madam asked the third and fourth masters to do it; they are leaving soon. Once they’ve delivered the girls, they’re expected back by the afternoon.”

Daohua responded with an ‘Oh’ and began to freshen up.

In the east-wing room, Yang Xiujun was somewhat shaken upon hearing the news.

After following her mother to the Yan Family, the elder aunt had always been very gentle, and it was rare to see her angry. Xiujun didn’t expect a small spat between sisters would elicit such a strong reaction from her.

Sending Yihuan and Yile back, was she not afraid of straining the relationship with the second uncle’s wife or displeasing her grandmother?
