The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!

Chapter 594: Chapter 545, Unimpressed_1

After learning that her daughter had already warned Yang Xiujun, although Madam Li still felt aggrieved, for the sake of her mother-in-law and Yan Siyu, she ultimately refrained from getting involved.

As a daughter-in-law herself, even though they were in the right on this matter, when it involved her sister-in-law, she had to be cautious so as not to upset her mother-in-law.

Also, because of Yang Xiujun’s actions, Madam Li, who had originally planned to return to Ningmen Prefecture the next day after Li Zixuan’s wedding, took another trip to the Su Family with Daohua, explaining the situation personally to Madam Su to make sure the Su Family took no offense before she could be at ease.

After attending Li Zixuan’s wedding banquet, Madam Li finally took Daohua and several children back to Ningmen Prefecture.

On the boat, Daohua saw that Madam Li was in a particularly good mood and couldn’t help but laugh and ask, “Mother, have you encountered some happy event?”

Madam Li shot a glance at her daughter, “Your two brothers have secured their marriage arrangements, how could I not be happy?” However, thinking of how she had just seen Yang Xiujun looking so haggard, the smile on her face faded a bit.

“I really don’t know how your aunt has been educating Xiujun, how she’s developed such a temperament. Does she want to show everyone that I’ve been mistreating her? She’s even more affected than Yan Yile used to be.”

Daohua scoffed, “Sister Xiujun is very clever. Our entire family feels sorry for our aunt as she does not have a good life in the Yang Family. Because of this, Father and Second Uncle have given her and cousin Hongrui extra love and pity.”

“She did something wrong and doesn’t want to be punished for it. She even hopes to seek her own marriage match, so she can only play the victim to gain everyone’s sympathy.”

Madam Li sighed, “When we get back, your grandmother will definitely ask about it.”

Daohua seemed unconcerned, “Grandmother pities my aunt and Sister Xiujun, but she’s not one to confuse right and wrong.”

Madam Li took a look at her daughter, “You’re still young, you don’t understand to what extent a mother can go for her children. Now that our family is doing better and better, relying on your aunt’s misfortune, tell me, how can your grandmother not be distressed and want to help them?”

Daohua was silent for a moment, “There are many ways to help my aunt. Why must Sister Xiujun marry into our family?”

Madam Li shook her head and said no more.

…

Several hours later, Daohua and the others returned to the Yan Residence.

Songhe Courtyard.

The moment she saw her granddaughter’s pale face, the old Madam Yan didn’t say anything, instead, she started chatting with Madam Li about the Li Family’s marriage arrangements with a smile.

Daohua took out all the gifts for the old lady from the provincial capital, one by one, amusing her until she was all smiles.

After chatting and laughing for a while, Madam Li and Daohua went downstairs to rest.

As she was leaving, Madam Li looked back and saw Yang Xiujun standing in front of her grandmother, seemingly on the verge of tears. Her brows furrowed, and she swiftly turned and left.

Second house.

Yan Yile was pacing around the room excitedly, “Mother, Second Sister, did you see how pitiful Sister Xiujun looked?”

The Sun Family matriarch glared at her younger daughter, “Will you settle down.”

Yan Yile pouted, “Aunt completely disregarded our dignity and sent me and Second Sister back here. Grandmother might not mind our being upset, but when Sister Xiujun is aggrieved, she has to ask about it, doesn’t she?”

Yan Yile looked at her mother who was clearly upset and said with furrowed brows, “Fourth Sister, we were sent back because you talked about Eldest Sister’s marriage. The fault is yours in this matter. Where do you get the idea that you’ve been wronged?”

Yan Yile was indignant, “Second Sister, why do you always side with outsiders to bully me?”

Yan Yile challenged, “Outsiders? You tell me, who is the outsider?”

“You…”

Unable to argue further, Yan Yile immediately went over to her mother, “Mother, look at Second Sister, she doesn’t know how to stand up for me at all.”

The Sun Family matriarch looked impassively at Yan Yile, staring her down until she shrank back before speaking, “What Second Sister said is right, Yile. You’re already twelve, you can’t be capricious like you were when you were little.”

“Because of your unrestrained tongue, even your Second Sister was sent back with you. You should reflect on your mistakes.”

Yan Yile sulked, “I didn’t do it on purpose, it just slipped out.”

The Sun Family matriarch sighed, “Your father is a commoner and mother is just an ordinary woman. Relying on us, you girls can’t expect to marry into good families.”

“Your eldest aunt is different; she mingles with the families of officials. Only she can arrange a good marriage for you. For your future, don’t upset her again.”

This time, Yan Yihuan and Yan Yile were sent back, and it was an embarrassment for both her and the head of the family. Although the daughters were at fault, sending the two girls back like this was quite a slap in the face.

Even if she was angry, she had to suppress it. After all, their second branch of the family relied on the first branch.

A silence fell. Then, Sun Family’s lady looked at her two daughters and warned, “Don’t meddle in your aunt’s affairs, and stay away from Xiujun, too.”

Yan Yile said, “Mother, before you encouraged us to spend more time with Sister Xiujun.”

Sun Family’s lady retorted, “That was because I didn’t understand her before. How was I to know she’s such a troublemaker and can’t hold her own in society?” With a scoff, she added, “Look at how she behaved today. The matriarch might be fond of her, but relying on that fondness to act out is simply overestimating herself.”

Seeing her daughters silent, Sun Family’s lady continued, “Did you hear me? Stay away from Xiujun in the future, or I fear you’ll pick up her petty ways. You have been studying with Master Shen for so many years and only recently have you begun to act like ladies of a major family; don’t let her influence you.”

Yan Yihuan quickly replied, “Mother, don’t worry, we understand.”

…

The principal room.

Madam Li was about to freshen up when Yan Zhigao came back, “My lord.”

Seeing his wife’s beaming face, Yan Zhigao raised an eyebrow, “What’s the matter? Did you encounter something pleasing during your trip to the provincial government?”

Madam Li went to help him take off his official robe and said with a smile, “The Su Family has expressed an interest in an alliance with our family, isn’t it excellent news?”

Yan Zhigao’s expression paused, then he quickly asked, “Are you talking about the Su Family of Advisor Su?”

Madam Li smiled, “Besides them, do we know any other Su Family?”

Yan Zhigao pressed further, “Which of our children has the Su Family taken a liking to?”

Madam Li glanced at him, “Naturally, it’s Wenkai.”

Yan Zhigao was also very pleased that his legitimate youngest son might marry into the Su Family, but soon he asked, “Which young lady from the Su Family are they planning to give to us in marriage?”

Madam Li replied, “You’ve seen her before, it’s Su Shiyu who’s close with our daughter.”

At this, Yan Zhigao burst out laughing, repeating ‘excellent’ three times, “That girl is a good match, perfectly suited for our Wenkai. Wenkai’s temperament is a bit too lively, he should have a gentle and quiet wife.”

Madam Li laughed, “Funny, I was thinking the same thing.”

Afterwards, Madam Li told Yan Zhigao in detail about what happened at the provincial government.

When Yan Zhigao heard about Yang Xiujun’s improper behavior, he frowned, “Alas, the Yang Family’s values really aren’t right, raising both children to be shortsighted and lacking in sense.”

Madam Li agreed wholeheartedly, “Indeed.” Then, pausing, she added, “When I came out from my lady mother’s earlier, Xiujun and my younger sister were still there. Xiujun’s intentions couldn’t be clearer. If Mother…”

Yan Zhigao raised his hand to interrupt, “The Yang Family isn’t a good match, Mother knows that. Not to mention Wenkai, even for Wenjie and Wentao, Mother wouldn’t agree.”

Madam Li, still somewhat worried, for she was also a mother, aware of a mother’s heart, said, “But what if…?”

Yan Zhigao was silent for a moment, “If Mother truly has the idea of an alliance with the Yang Family, I will speak up.”

At these words, Madam Li immediately felt relieved.

After marrying into the Yan Family, she was attentive in every aspect, and she managed to get along with her mother-in-law harmoniously, something that had come with great difficulty. She really did not want to fall out with her mother-in-law over her sister-in-law’s affairs.

…

Meanwhile, in Songhe Courtyard, Yang Xiujun was somewhat dazed as her maid escorted her out.

The thought had never crossed her mind that her grandmother, who usually adored her, after hearing about how she was grounded by her eldest aunt-in-law at the Li Family, showed no reaction but simply had her sent to the guest courtyard to rest.

Just now, when her second and third aunt-in-law saw her haggard appearance, they didn’t even offer a word of comfort.
