The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159: Chapter 144, Delusional _1

The next morning, Yan Zhiyuan woke up with a bit of a headache.

“Did I say something I shouldn’t have said yesterday?”

Mrs. Sun glanced at him: “Remembering now, are you? You put on quite the display yesterday, slamming the table in front of mother, elder brother, and sister-in-law. That would have been enough, but you also loudly called Daohua an ill-mannered wild girl.”

“Just think about it, those words of yours, weren’t they criticizing mother, elder brother, and sister-in-law all together?”

Yan Yile, who was sitting nearby waiting for breakfast, joined in: “Mother, I think father was right. Eldest sister was yelling at father; that is a lack of manners.”

“Shut your mouth. When adults are speaking, children should not chime in.” Mrs. Sun glared at her younger daughter. Yesterday, elder brother and sister-in-law were indeed quite upset.

Their son Wenjie was not yet grown, and their family was still relying on elder brother for support. They couldn’t afford to let small grievances create a rift with the main branch of the family.

Yan Zhiyuan furrowed his brows, as his thoughts were even clearer and more far-seeing than Mrs. Sun’s. He spoke immediately, “Elder brother probably hasn’t gone to the Governor’s Office yet, I’ll go and apologize right now.”

Seeing her father leave in a rush without even eating breakfast, Yan Yile pouted, feeling unconvinced: “Mother, why do we have to tiptoe around Uncle all the time? Yesterday, it was clear Eldest sister was disrespectful to father.”

Mrs. Sun fell silent for a moment, looked at her unconvinced younger daughter, and her older daughter who seemed lost in thought. After pondering for a bit she spoke.

“It’s simple because your Uncle is an official, your father is a commoner. Our branch of the family must always concede to the main branch.”

“As for your eldest sister… even Uncle dares not challenge her, let alone fearing your father.”

Yan Yile curled her lip: “Mother, I know, Eldest sister dares to do this only because she is close to Little Prince. Uncle needs Little Prince’s favor to get promoted, that’s why he tolerates Eldest sister so much.”

“But mother, it’s different now. In the past, Little Prince only played with Eldest sister, but now he is willing to play with me and second sister, too. We’re not without backing anymore.”

Mrs. Sun looked at her younger daughter with surprise, not expecting such thoughts from her at such a young age. She smiled and nodded her head: “Little Prince only played with you once, who knows what will happen next time?”

Yan Yile tilted her head up confidently: “Little Prince will definitely play with us again. You don’t know, yesterday he talked a lot with us and was smiling the whole time.”

“Once we get to know Little Prince a bit better, I’ll ask him to help father get an official position too. Considering how powerful Little Prince is, that should be an easy task.”

Hearing these words, Mrs. Sun was outright shocked, but in her eyes flickered hope.

Over the years, she too had made acquaintances with many official’s families and heard about purchasing positions. However, buying an official position required significant backing.

Little Prince… he might indeed be able to help their family.

On the side, Yan Yihuan couldn’t help but speak up: “Fourth sister, you’re indulging in fanciful thoughts. Little Prince chatted with us because you brought Eldest sister’s flowers to him.”

She had seen everything very clearly from the sidelines.

Furthermore, the topics they discussed with Little Prince afterward were all centered around Eldest sister.

“Also, matters like buying an official position are not for us to consider.”

Yan Yile disagreed: “The flower was just an icebreaker. Afterward, Little Prince was willing to talk to us because we made the conversation interesting and kept him amused, right?”

“As for buying an official position, if Eldest sister could get Little Prince to allocate Academy places for elder brother, then securing an official post for father isn’t such a big deal.”

Yan Yihuan wanted to argue more, but Mrs. Sun interjected.

“Enough, stop arguing. Anyway, you two must remember one thing, you must get along well with Little Prince in the future and not offend him like your Eldest sister did.”

“Mother, rest assured, we won’t be foolish like Eldest sister!”

Main courtyard.

Seeing Yan Zhiyuan come to apologize so early in the morning, Yan Zhigao couldn’t keep faulting him.

Madam Li, though still fuming inside, refrained from pursuing the matter further out of respect for the old lady and her own husband.

So, with everyone’s tacit understanding, the incident that occurred on the Laba Festival was let go.

…

Two days later, Zhou Jingwan sent a box of silk flowers to Daohua.

“They’re so exquisitely made!”
