The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291: Chapter 272 – Isn’t it too good? 1

The next day, Yan Yishuang did not appear in the classroom, and the entire Yan Family immediately became aware of Yan Zhigao’s stance—he had implicitly approved of the punishment Daohua had imposed on Yan Yishuang.

In the classroom, Yan Yihuan and Yan Yile arrived early. Seeing that Daohua and the Li sisters had not yet arrived, they began to whisper among themselves.

“Yesterday, after Third Sister returned to her courtyard, she threw quite a tantrum. I guess she must have been scolded by Uncle when she went to the front yard!” Yan Yile said with a giggle.

Yan Yihuan reflected for a moment, “This is Third Sister’s own fault.” She paused, “The front yard is where Uncle works, and it’s full of men from outside. We sisters really shouldn’t go there.”

“Even if Aunt had something to attend to, she would send a servant to summon Uncle.”

“Third Sister burst into tears and ran to the front yard yesterday. Not only did she disgrace herself, but she also made the Yan Family lose face.”

Yan Yile nodded, “That’s true. Uncle cares about face the most, and the spectacle Third Sister made was really unwise.” As she spoke, a hint of scorn appeared on her face.

“She thinks that, with Uncle’s favoritism, she can still do whatever she wants like before. But we can all see that Uncle has long lost his former patience and indulgence towards them, yet she is still oblivious.”

Yan Yihuan fell silent for a while, “Nowadays, Uncle must be somewhat disappointed with Third Sister and Fifth Brother.”

Yan Yile snickered, “That’s for sure. If it weren’t for Eldest Brother getting trapped in Xingyun Prefecture, I wouldn’t have known they could harbor such thoughts.”

“Since Eldest Brother has returned, I’ve noticed he’s not as close to Third Sister and Fifth Brother as before. He seems very indifferent.”

Yan Yihuan, “… When one is in a predicament themselves, to think that a younger brother or sister would wish to replace them, I guess no one could easily let go of such a thing!”

Yan Yile shrugged and sighed, “Aunt Lin has been grounded for three years, with no one to speak for her. I wonder until when Third Sister will be punished?”

This time, Yan Yihuan did not reply.

Without further ado, Daohua arrived with the Li sisters.

“Big Sister, Sister Zixuan, Sister Zixin!” greeted Yan Yihuan, rising to her feet.

Seeing this, Yan Yile thought for a moment and then also rose, smiling, to pay her respects.

Seeing both girls more enthusiastic than usual, the Li sisters exchanged a glance and hastily returned the greeting with smiles.

Daohua smiled, “Master Shen will be here soon; let’s take our seats.”

Thereafter, Yan Yihuan became more talkative, engaging in discussion about poetry and needlework with the Li sisters. Whenever she noticed that the Li sisters fell short in their manners, she would take the initiative to correct them.

Seeing her elder sister behaving this way, Yan Yile didn’t find it appropriate to be overly different, and often made conversation and jokes with the Li sisters as well.

Daohua noticed the two sisters’ gestures of goodwill and did not continue to harp on past events. Seeing that they got along harmoniously with their cousins, every time Zhou Jingwan visited, she would invite them to Daohua Pavilion, where everyone would chat and laugh together.

For a time, the five girls got along much more comfortably and pleasantly than before.

One day, after Yan Zhigao finished his duties, he happened to see Daohua and the other four girls leaving the class together. He watched as five young ladies chatted and laughed, with Yile affectionately linking arms with Zixin, their heads together whispering secrets. His expression softened for a moment.

Watching the girls leave, Yan Zhigao sighed: “Was I too indulgent with Yishuang and Wenbin before?”

Wenbin was still acceptable. Attending the State School and mixing with many people, he had some exposure and know-how. Though there were some scheming thoughts in his mind, he still had some sense of propriety.

But Yishuang… she truly became somewhat spoiled!

To publicly embarrass the niece of her legitimate mother’s family, where did she get that confidence?

The Madam is a virtuous lady, but she cannot be untroubled by such matters. He had heard that the meals at the Lin Family’s side had been reduced from four dishes and one soup to two dishes and one soup, and they could no longer have meat every meal.

The trouble caused by the daughter had indeed made her birth mother suffer.

No wonder aristocratic families always stress the clear distinction between legitimate and illegitimate offspring. Showing favoritism towards children born out of wedlock is not only detrimental to the relationships among siblings but also fosters desires in their hearts, ultimately harming oneself and others.
