The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 203

Chapter 203: Chapter 185, Feeling Great_1

After returning to the Yan Residence, Yan Zhigao went straight to Songhe Courtyard to pay respects to his grandmother and then stayed to chat with her. During the conversation, he praised Yan Wenxiu and the other two for their performance at the Dragon Boat Festival banquet.

Hearing of her grandson’s achievements naturally delighted the old Madam, but she seemed somewhat distracted.

Her son had brought home a young woman, and frankly, she was displeased, but she also knew it wasn’t her place to interfere with her son’s domestic affairs; otherwise, she might become objectionable.

It wasn’t just the old Madam who was out of sorts; everyone else in the house seemed distracted as well.

While everyone was curious about the origins of Liao, Yan Zhigao did not seem inclined to say much, only mentioning that she was a gift from his superior and instructing Madam Li to make the arrangements.

Daohua observed her stepfather closely and noticed that when he mentioned Liao, his tone and attitude were very casual, as if he really didn’t care much about her.

The old Madam knew that her eldest son and daughter-in-law were busy arranging for the new concubine, so after a while, she dismissed everyone.

The main courtyard.

Madam Lin watched Liao, who stood submissively in the courtyard waiting for instructions, her pale face betraying tension as she crumpled the silk handkerchief in her hand beyond recognition.

Two days ago, when she learned she was pregnant again, she was overjoyed, but today she felt thoroughly vexed.

Seeing that Madam Lin looked upset, Yan Yishuang said worriedly, “Mother, why don’t you go back to the courtyard to rest? Father went to see Grandmother, and he probably won’t come here for a while.”

Madam Lin shook her head, “No, I’ll just wait here.”

With a new person added to the master’s residence, Shuangxin Courtyard was most affected. She couldn’t afford to disregard this.

Beside them, Liao kept her head bowed silently, overhearing the conversation between Madam Lin and her daughter without showing any curiosity, just standing quietly.

Although she maintained a still face, her thoughts were racing.

Madam?

A legitimate daughter addressing a concubine as “Madam” seemed to suggest that the customs of the Yan Family were not very strict.

She wondered if this was a good or bad thing?

Thinking back to the Madam she had met earlier, who was dignified, gentle, and generous, she did not seem like someone harsh and ruthless.

She hoped this aristocratic family wouldn’t be filled with endless scheming like others, so she too could live here in peace.

As Liao pondered these thoughts, Madam Li and Yan Zhigao entered the courtyard.

Yan Zhigao passed by without a sideways glance, heading straight into the house, while Madam Li lagged behind, glancing at Madam Lin, then at the bowing and obedient Liao, and said indifferently, “You may all enter now.”

Madam Lin immediately followed.

Liao waited for Madam Lin to move ahead before entering herself.

Once everyone had entered, Daohua sneaked into the courtyard; she wasn’t sure if it was appropriate for her to hear or see these matters, so she stayed at the door without going inside. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}

“Miss, what are you doing?”

Ping Xiao, who came out to refill the teapot, saw Daohua with her neck stretched trying to peek into the room, and couldn’t help but laugh, “Madam is waiting to drink tea offered by the new Madam Liao; I have to fetch water, so you can go inside yourself.”

Daohua was taken aback, “Can I really enter?”

Ping Xiao chuckled, “Of course, didn’t you see the third young Miss inside?”

Daohua immediately glanced into the room and indeed saw Yan Yishuang sitting next to Madam Lin, and promptly straightened her dress and walked in confidently.

When Madam Li saw Daohua enter, she looked unsurprised.

For such an occasion, it would have been strange if the girl hadn’t come to join in the bustle.

Yan Zhigao, however, felt somewhat embarrassed to see his eldest daughter staring wide-eyed and curiously at Liao, and he awkwardly touched his nose.
