The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106: Chapter 93, The Gift l

Xiao Yeyang’s overnight stay at the Yan Family affected the hearts of many officials and prominent households in Xingzhou City.

The consultant’s residence.

Madam Qian said to Qian Tongzhi, “Do you think we should pay a visit to the noble guest tomorrow?”

Qian Tongzhi shook his head, “Unless Prefectural Governor Yan introduces us, it wouldn’t be appropriate for us to intrude. If we do anything wrong, we might even annoy the noble guest.”

Hearing this, Madam Qian felt deflated, “Lately, you’ve been openly complying while defying Prefectural Governor Yan at the Prefectural Governor’s Office. It would be good enough if he doesn’t hold a grudge against you; how could he possibly help by introducing us?”

Qian Tongzhi thought for a moment, “Our family’s relationship with the Yan Family cannot be severed.”

Madam Qian nodded, “Don’t worry; we women don’t interfere with men’s affairs. I’ve kept in touch with Madam Li all along, and even their family’s lady I helped introduce. Besides, Bi Lan can speak well with the eldest young lady of the Yan Family.”

The prefectural judge’s residence.

After learning about Xiao Yeyang’s stay at the Yan Family, Wang Tongpan buried himself in his study until midnight before coming out.

Madam Wang waited for him to return to their room before lying down, “You needn’t worry too much. We were just carrying out tasks for others. Even if the Yan Family has the Little Prince backing them, they can’t do anything to us.” Wang Tongpan kept shaking his head, “What do you know? They might not do anything openly, but what about behind the scenes? Now, we can only hope that Prefectural Governor Yan is magnanimous. He has only just arrived in Xingzhou recently, and there’s a lot I haven’t had the chance to do. We haven’t reached an irreconcilable situation yet.”

Madam Wang turned over, “If Prefectural Governor Yan wants to govern Xingzhou properly, he can’t do without the support of you and your subordinates.”

Wang Tongpan fell silent for a moment, “I’ve written to Consultant Du to inform him of the situation here. With the Little Prince involved, he won’t continue to withhold the dike funds. I can also use this to express my intentions towards Prefectural Governor Yan.”

“Right, you must also maintain good relations with the women of the Yan Family. I know you look down on the matriarch of the Yan Family for her merchant background, but times have changed. In their presence, you still need to put on a show.”

Madam Wang gave Wang Tongpan a sidelong glance, “There’s no need for the master to teach me that. Rest assured, as long as it can help the master, not to mention pleasing someone of merchant origin, I’m willing to do even harder tasks.”

Wang Tongpan was visibly relieved, “With a wife like you, what more could a husband ask for!”

The next day, in the backyard of the Yan Family, Daohua Pavilion was bustling early in the morning.

“Manman, remember the two-foot long wooden box I bought when we went shopping before? Find it for me quickly.”

After getting up and washing up, the first thing Daohua did was to instruct Wang Manman to find something.

Soon, Wang Manman came with the box, “Miss, what do you need this box for?”

Daohua took the box, “I don’t know when Xiao Yeyang will leave; I need to prepare some gifts for him in advance. He helped us at the post station before and even gave me a Jade Pendant. I didn’t get to thank him properly in the haste of things.”

Wang Manman asked, “What does Miss plan to give? With such a noble identity, what does that gentleman lack?”

Daohua fell silent for a moment, “No matter what it is, it’s the thought that counts. But, I do need to give it some thought.”

Clearly, Xiao Yeyang had done the Yan Family a great favor. It was very likely that her adoptive father’s promotion was due to him; this time, his willingness to stay with the Yan Family undoubtedly also raised the Yan Family’s status in Xingzhou City.

With his visit, her adoptive father should have a somewhat easier time at the Prefectural Governor’s Office, no longer facing the situation of having no one available and having to do everything himself.

With such a great favor owed, how could it be repaid?

And to put it pragmatically, their family also needed to maintain a certain relationship with this distinguished gentleman.

The maintenance of a relationship should never involve only one party giving.

For now, Xiao Yeyang, considering they had saved him in the past, might look after the Yan Family for a while. But as time goes on, if the Yan Family is unable to offer anything in return and only knows how to take, even the deepest relationship would eventually wear thin.

With Xiao Yeyang’s status, he certainly lacked nothing. The Yan Family’s resources couldn’t produce anything of great value either. Hence, it was best to give a gift that Xiao Yeyang might actually need.

After some thought, Daohua found some bamboo tubes and filled them with three tubes of jasmine tea; Xiao Yeyang did say it was delicious, so she decided to give him some more.

What about a ginseng?

The most valuable thing in her space was the ginseng, which was usually needed.

However, she seemed to have only newly harvested ginseng. How could she explain that?
