The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 194

Chapter 194: Chapter 176, Body Contract_1

Main Court.

“Second Brother, what are you laughing about?”

Madam Li looked speechlessly at Li Xingnian who’d kept a smile on his face ever since he came out of the Old Madam’s courtyard.

Li Xingnian reined in his smile, “I was wondering, how come Daohua is so formidable!” Every time he thought of his brother-in-law’s embarrassed and uncomfortable expression just now, he couldn’t help but want to laugh.

It was one thing for a concubine to take things from home to help out her own family without mentioning it, but once it was brought to light, especially in front of her husband’s legitimate family, it could be somewhat shameful.

Daohua really dared to do it, mentioning it subtly, at least leaving her father with a fig leaf of dignity.

Hearing this, Madam Li also found it somewhat amusing, but she quickly sighed, “I don’t know whether this temperament of hers is good or bad.”

Li Xingnian became serious, “Of course it’s good, Daohua won’t be bullied with that kind of attitude. It’s one thing for it to be about concubines, but your second uncle, taking advantage of being an elder, acted all high and mighty. Neither you nor your brother-in-law had spoken yet, and he was already pointing fingers, which was really annoying.”

“The three children did a good deed for the family by bringing in help, but in his mouth, it became a calamity. If Daohua didn’t stand up for herself and her brothers, that would’ve been so unjust.”

Madam Li also felt annoyed with Yan Zhiyuan and expressed her dissatisfaction, “Before, my second brother had some sense of measure, but ever since Wenxiu and the others went to Wangyue Academy, he has been feeling uncomfortable and always causing trouble for Daohua.”

“Hmm?” Li Xingnian frowned, “You didn’t mention much about the Academy in your letters, what exactly happened?”

Madam Li then explained the issue with the Academy’s quotas one by one and said indignantly, “The quota was given by the Little Prince, what does it have to do with Daohua? Why should he blame my Daohua?”

Li Xingnian’s eyes flashed without saying anything as he picked up the cup of tea from the table and started drinking.

Was it a bother for the Little Prince to let Wenjie from the second household and Wenbin, the illegitimate son, attend Wangyue Academy?

In his opinion, it was not.

If Daohua really wanted to ask for it, she would have definitely been able to obtain it.

This point, he was afraid his brother-in-law also knew.

Madam Li continued, “Ever since Wenxiu and the others went to Wangyue Academy and often followed the Little Prince, their bearing and manners have certainly changed from before. When they returned home, standing next to Wenjie and Wenbin, the difference became immediately apparent.”

“Before, everyone was on the same level, but now, watching Wenxiu and the others improve while Wenjie is still at the same spot, my second brother is naturally upset.”

Li Xingnian snorted coldly, “What’s predestined cannot be avoided. What has his household ever done for Daohua for him to demand that she treats Wenjie just the same?”

He paused and then added, “This point, your brother-in-law sees quite clearly.” He hadn’t insisted on Daohua asking for a quota for his illegitimate son.

Wenjie didn’t make it to Wangyue Academy, and he didn’t know whether Daohua did it on purpose, but Wenbin not getting there was definitely deliberate on her part.

He guessed his brother-in-law likely saw this point too and that’s why he didn’t say anything.

Madam Li smiled and didn’t say anything.

Li Xingnian looked at Madam Li, noting her rosy complexion and relaxed brows, quite different than before when he visited and her eyes were tinged with sadness. Knowing how comfortable her recent life had been, he said, “I can finally be completely at ease for you and our eldest brother.”

Madam Li smiled, “The kids have grown up, they know to protect me as their mother. You and our eldest brother can worry less about me now.”

Afterward, Li Xingnian stayed at the Yan Family for a few days, buying up properties and shops again before leaving.

About the matter of Daohua selling the grape wine recipe and the Li Family giving Daohua three estates and a shop, Madam Li only mentioned it privately to the Old Madam, Yan Zhigao, and Yan Zhiyuan.

“Daohua is still young after all, you have to keep a closer eye on her,” the Old Madam advised.

Madam Li laughed, “That girl probably needs your oversight, Old Madam. I certainly can’t control her. Besides, she only listens to her mother.”

The Old Madam loved hearing this, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law laughed together for quite a while.

As for Yan Zhigao, although he was shocked by the Li Family’s generosity, he didn’t think of interfering, and the matter was dropped.
