Chapter 157: Chapter 142: Don’t Take Yourself Too Seriously_1
Daohua Pavilion.
Daohua sat in front of the window, carefully pruning a pot of Hong Mei with scissors.
Behind her, Wang Manman watched, wanting to speak yet stopping herself. She endured and endured but at last could not hold back, “Miss, the Little Prince should have already arrived at the old lady’s courtyard by now, don’t you want to go and see him?”
Daohua’s hands did not stop moving, “What’s there to see? With so many people over there, is there a fear of neglecting him?”
Wang Manman was taken aback and hesitated before asking unsurely, “Miss, are you angry with the Little Prince?”
Daohua turned to look at her, “Do you think I shouldn’t be angry with him?” When he left in front of so many people, raging with anger, anybody would think she had offended him.
He simply walked away, leaving her alone to face the mockery and verbal abuse of others.
If Xiao Yeyang had ever considered her a friend, he wouldn’t have done this.
After all, in his heart, she was the same as everyone else, and there was no need to care for her feelings.
Wang Manman didn’t know how to respond.
She felt that her own miss was not wrong, yet at the same time she felt that, given the Little Prince’s noble status, it was not a problem for everyone to flatter him a bit.
Forget it, the matter is too complicated, don’t want to think about it anymore.
In the old lady’s courtyard.
Xiao Yeyang and Dong Yuanxuan first paid their respects to Madam Yan, then they took their seats in turn.
As soon as Xiao Yeyang entered the room, he looked all around, sizing up everyone inside. Upon discovering that Daohua wasn’t there, his expression instantly became somewhat obvious.
The others also noticed this.
Dong Yuanxuan gave Yan Wenxiu a look, signaling for him to quickly call over their eldest sister.
Why did the Little Prince come today? Wasn’t it specifically to see their eldest sister? With the main person absent, wouldn’t it be a wasted trip?
With a sigh in his heart and knowing his eldest sister too well, Yan Wenxiu was certain she had deliberately avoided showing up. But seeing the Little Prince’s helpless glances towards the doorway, he braced himself and stepped outside.
Once outside, Yan Wenxiu looked up at the sky.
He suddenly realized, with a pang of sadness, that he might not be able to call his big sister over!
He, as her brother, truly didn’t have much authority.
Xiao Yeyang was somewhat silent, responding only when the old lady spoke, otherwise he was lost in thought.
Seeing this, the others did not dare to joke too much.
Seeing the atmosphere becoming somewhat awkward, Dong Yuanxuan tried to lighten the mood with a laugh, “Madam, today is Laba Festival, we must have some of your family’s Laba porridge.”
The old lady smiled and nodded, gesturing for Madam Li to serve the Laba porridge.
At this moment, Yan Wenkai joined the conversation, “Little Prince, let me tell you, our family’s Laba porridge is personally cooked by our eldest sister. It’s really delicious, I guarantee you’ll want to come back for more next year.”
Hearing this as she was serving the Laba porridge, Madam Li’s expression paused, uncertain if she should continue or not.
Upon hearing that Daohua made it, Xiao Yeyang became interested, “Then I must taste it well.” He approved of Daohua’s cooking skills, although a bit rough in method, the taste was indeed good.
Seeing that Madam Li hesitated and didn’t move, Yan Wenkai was a bit puzzled and could only stand up himself. He took the Laba porridge from the maid behind her and efficiently served Xiao Yeyang and Dong Yuanxuan, and then he eagerly started himself.
After one sip, Yan Wenkai frowned, then tried another sip, and immediately looked up at Madam Li, “Mother, was the Laba porridge not made by big sister?”
Xiao Yeyang and Dong Yuanxuan also had a taste.
Hmm… the flavor was really mediocre, but to save face for the Yan Family, both had no choice but to force themselves to eat a few more spoonfuls.
Madam Li explained with a smile, “Your big sister wasn’t feeling well. This year’s Laba porridge was made by the cook.”
