The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122: Chapter 108, Enemies on a Narrow Road_1

As Yan Wenkai and Wentao spoke in turns, telling Daohua about everything they had encountered at the Academy, her feelings became somewhat complicated.

Only when she knew that they couldn’t even see Xiao Yeyang’s face did she deeply perceive the strictness of the ancient hierarchy and understand more clearly that for Xiao Yeyang, the Yan Family really didn’t count for much.

“Big sister, you mustn’t tell our grandparents about these things,” Wentao said after explaining. “Big brother said that this is a test for us, so let’s not worry the family.”

Wentao also nodded, “Actually, it’s not really a big deal. We can handle it.”

Daohua silently nodded.

Before, she had vaguely hinted to Madam Li to tell her foster father not to have too high expectations of Xiao Yeyang, but at this moment, hearing that Xiao Yeyang hadn’t even seen her three brothers once at the Academy, she also felt a trace of disappointment in her heart.

People are like this, when something doesn’t happen to themselves, they can always talk in an imposing and justified manner, but when it really happens to them, perhaps they become even more whimsical and twisted than others.

Before this, she thought that Xiao Yeyang might have some special regard for her and the Yan Family, but reality told her, she thought too much.

She could understand why her foster father wasn’t invited by the Governor. After all, although he held a noble status, he was not in the official circle, and he couldn’t influence official affairs;

But being in the same Academy, not to mention any special care towards her three brothers, there wasn’t even a single summon, which showed he truly didn’t keep them in his heart.

Alas…

Not only should her foster father not harbor too many expectations, but she shouldn’t either!

Later, Daohua and the others quickly took some grape wine and returned to the grandmother’s courtyard.

…

Although Yan Wenxiu hid it well inside the house, Yan Zhigao, having been an official for many years, could not miss the unspoken words of his eldest son. Thinking of the casual conversations he heard at the Prefectural Governor’s Office, his expression turned somewhat dark.

“The Little Prince simply didn’t regard the Yan Family seriously; otherwise, why wouldn’t Lord Yan be invited to the Governor’s Mid-Autumn banquet?”

“Isn’t that so? I heard that the Prefectural Governor from Fanzhou next door was invited.”

“Then why did the Little Prince stay at the Yan Family previously?”

“Who knows? Maybe the Little Prince was just looking for some fun or was curious?”

Thinking of these whispers, Yan Zhigao let out a wry smile.

Indeed, one sentence can awaken someone from a dream!

First was the overnight stay, and then his eldest son and his brothers obtained spots at the Wangyue Academy. He naively thought that the Little Prince and their family had a close relationship.

Unfortunately, the reality check came swiftly.

He had greatly overestimated their family’s importance in the Little Prince’s heart!

He really had lost a little self-awareness!

Yan Zhigao looked at his eldest son: “Seeking education is not just about seeking knowledge in books, but also about interpersonal skills, human relationships. The Academy is a microcosm of society, where you’ll find all kinds of people. You must think more, observe more, grasp the right measure in dealing with others.”

“Wherever a person goes, as long as they possess true skill, they will find a place to stand. Help from outsiders is ultimately temporary.”

Yan Wenxiu understood the underlying meaning and immediately stood up to show his respect: “Thank you for your teachings, father. Your son will remember them.”

On the side, Yan Zhiyuan looked at the two of them, his expression shifted slightly, then the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.

It seemed his three nephews weren’t having such an easy time at the Academy after all!

In an instant, any resentment he felt about his own son not being able to go to the Academy dissipated.

…

This year’s Mid-Autumn Festival dinner was exceptionally sumptuous, prepared by Madam Li, and with the help of grape wine, the family enjoyed themselves thoroughly.

After spending two days at home, Yan Wenxiu and his brothers were about to return to the Academy.
