The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 198

Chapter 198: Chapter 180, Rejection_1

“`

“What did you say, mother asked Auntie Lin to welcome Madam Zhu?”

At Daohua Pavilion, Daohua sat in front of the dressing table, slowly doing her makeup. When she heard the news from Wang Manman, her face showed complete surprise.

After her surprise, she burst out laughing.

“It turns out that mother can also tease people!”

Daohua’s mood instantly improved.

Isn’t Madam Zhu good friends with Auntie Lin in Linyi County? Then let this concubine entertain her.

The legitimate wife being received by a concubine is a blatant slap in the face!

And afterward, Madam Zhu couldn’t have any complaints.

Wang Manman also wore a happy expression, laughing as she said, “Madam is taking out some anger for the young lady! In my opinion, Madam Zhu and her daughter have such thick skins. It caused the young lady to get beaten by the master, and yet they still have the nerve to visit. If it were me, I would be too ashamed to show my face.”

Seeing the new maid finish arranging her hair, Daohua would have normally just casually adorned it with a silk flower, but remembering the time in class when Zhu Xiuyun covertly mocked her for being plain, she pointed at the jewelry box and said, “Wear the set with the pearls today.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Manman immediately went forward with a grin, carefully taking out the headdress, “The young lady will certainly surpass Miss Zhu while wearing this jewelry.”

Daohua smiled and said nothing.

No matter the era, people first respect the clothes and then the person. Dressing formally fits her identity as the Prefectural Governor’s daughter better, so as not to be looked down upon by Madam Zhu who claims to be from an aristocratic family.

Madam Li shared the same thought, as her attire for the day was more elegant than usual.

The main courtyard.

After Auntie Lin entered the hall, she paused upon seeing only Madam Zhu and her daughter, but soon understood Madam Li’s intentions.

If before the two could chat about poetry and the like, this meeting only left them with awkwardness, speaking only in fragmented sentences.

The adults’ discomfort didn’t affect the children.

Seeing Yan Yishuang, whom she played well with, Zhu Xiuyun was extremely happy. The two young girls chatted nonstop, hand in hand.

After handling the day’s affairs, Madam Li made her unhurried way to the hall.

Observing Auntie Lin and Madam Zhu making forced conversation, looking uncomfortable, Madam Li smiled, “Oh, I’m truly sorry for making Madam Zhu wait, as I was dealing with some matters.”

When Madam Li entered, everyone in the hall fell silent, then quickly stood up.

Madam Zhu immediately put on a smile, “It’s we who are troubling you.”

Madam Li waved her hand, “Please don’t say that, Madam, it’s my hospitality that has been lacking.” Saying this, she turned to Auntie Lin, “I wasn’t able to come in time, were you able to entertain Madam Zhu properly?”

Auntie Lin’s face stiffened slightly, and she reluctantly nodded her head.

Seeing this, Madam Li showed satisfaction, then turned to Madam Zhu with a smile, “Previously in Linyi County, you two were good friends. It’s been almost a year since you’ve seen each other, surely you have endless topics to discuss, don’t you?”

Daohua arrived at the entrance just in time to hear her mother’s mocking words, and she couldn’t help but chuckle.

Seeing Madam Zhu struggle to keep her composure, Madam Li slowly averted her gaze, then saw her daughter standing at the entrance, snickering, “You girl, come in and greet the guests.”

Madam Zhu and Zhu Xiuyun both turned their heads at the same time, and as they saw Daohua, who walked in smiling, a touch of awe passed through their eyes.

“Madam Zhu, I hope you’re well!”

“Miss Zhu, I hope you’re well!”

After entering the room, Daohua gave a meticulous greeting to both of them.

Madam Zhu sized up the Yan Family’s eldest young lady. She had always known this young lady to be beautiful, but back then she merely found her appearance appealing. Now however, with every move she made, there was an added air of nobility that made one forget the mundane world.

“The eldest young lady is becoming more and more beautiful.”

Madam Li dragged Daohua to her side with a smile, chuckling, “Don’t keep praising this girl; she grew up in the countryside, incomparable to Miss Zhu.”
