The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188: Chapter 170, Who is Daohua?_1

“Elder sister, where exactly did you and the Little Prince go tonight?” On the way back to the Li Residence, Yan Wenxiu still couldn’t help but ask with concern.

Daohua: “…We didn’t go anywhere special, just casually looked at the street lanterns.”

Yan Wenxiu took a deep look at Daohua: “Although the Little Prince is familiar with our family, he is still an outsider. In the future, without me or Wenkai to accompany you, it’s better not to go out with him alone.”

Daohua knew she had been somewhat reckless tonight, so she obediently nodded her head: “Big brother, I was wrong, and I made you worried. Rest assured, from now on, no matter where I go, I will let you know in advance.”

Seeing this, Yan Wenxiu didn’t say more.

After returning to the manor, when her aunt and uncle heard about Daohua and Xiao Yeyang getting separated from everyone during the lantern viewing, they also took her aside for a talk.

Knowing she was in the wrong, Daohua listened humbly to their teaching, being as docile as she could be.

Mrs. Fan laughed: “Alright, this girl has a sense of propriety. Getting separated from everyone tonight was probably unexpected; let’s not scold her anymore.”

Daohua nodded repeatedly.

At that time, when she saw Xiao Yeyang hurrying away with De Fu, her first reaction was to catch up. By the time she caught up with them, she was already quite a distance from her older brother and the others. She thought about going back to tell them but was afraid that Xiao Yeyang wouldn’t wait for her, so, she could only keep her head down and follow him.

Li Xingchang: “Even so, you must remember this lesson. Although the security in the provincial capital is good, it’s not guaranteed to be without pickpockets.”

Daohua: “Uncle, aunt, Daohua understands. I will definitely not make the same mistake next time.”

Li Xingnian smiled: “Alright, we’ve all been out playing for a day and everyone’s tired. Go back and rest.”

Upon hearing this, Daohua immediately pulled her two cousins out of the room.

Seeing Daohua’s hasty retreat, the adults in the room all laughed.

“This girl, she usually acts like a little adult, but the moment she makes a mistake, she immediately shows her true colors.”

“She’s just a child, after all. Who isn’t afraid of being scolded?”

…

On the sixteenth day of the first month, Daohua and her siblings stayed home all day and spent quality time with the Li family.

On the seventeenth day of the first month, the three siblings set off on their return journey to Xingzhou, accompanied by Li Xingnian.

The gate of the Li Residence.

After saying goodbye to the members of the Li family one by one, the siblings boarded the carriage for their journey home.

Watching the carriage gradually disappear into the distance, sisters Li Zixuan and Li Zixin looked on with reluctance.

Mrs. Fan smiled: “Are you that unwilling to let go of Daohua, that girl?”

Li Zixin immediately came forward and linked arms with Mrs. Fan: “Mother, cousin is so much fun to be with, it’s never boring. And she knows so much.”

As she spoke, she started counting on her fingers, “She can garden, make wine, and even concoct rouge and face powder. The nourishing creams she brought for us are even better than those sold at Guixiu Pavilion.”

“And she’s good at math!”

Li Zixuan chimed in.

Li Zixin immediately nodded: “Exactly! Cousin is so quick with the abacus, even faster than our big brother. Oh, and she can do mental calculations faster than big brother too.”

Mrs. Jian laughed: “Daohua does have a clever mind. If only she were a boy.”

Mrs. Fan quickly said: “What’s wrong with being a girl? I think it’s great that Daohua’s a girl; having such a delicate yet sharp and intelligent daughter, I’d wake up smiling from my dreams.”

The group continued chatting as they walked towards the interior of the manor.

…

“Ah, time flies too fast, the next thing you know, the academy is about to start again.”

In the carriage, Yan Wenkai lifted the curtain, his face filled with reluctance as he looked at the busy streets.

Li Xingnian laughed: “You’ve had plenty of days to play, it’s time to settle down and return to your studies. Next year, next Chinese New Year, your uncle will invite you to the provincial capital again for the Lantern Festival.”

Yan Wenkai immediately clapped and cheered: “Great, great, little uncle, you can’t go back on your word!”

Li Xingnian gave his nephew a stern look with a smile, rebuking him: “When has your uncle ever gone back on his word?” After saying that, he glanced at the somewhat sleepy Daohua and lowered his voice.

“Keep it down, your aunt said that the three girls talked into the late hours of the night. Let your sister sleep for a while.”

Hearing this, Yan Wenkai stopped talking and focused on the view outside the carriage.

Daohua really was feeling drowsy. Last night, her cousins said they couldn’t bear to let her leave, insisting on sleeping together. Not wanting to reject them, she agreed.

She had just seen a peddler being beaten on the Lantern Festival, and here it was happening again today? _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}
