Daohua was initially delighted by Xiao Yeyang painting her portrait, but after Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu’s comments, a look at the painting now evoked a twinge of discomfort.

“Manman, put the painting away and store it properly,” she instructed.

Wang Manman was taken aback. “Miss, didn’t you really like this painting? Why aren’t you displaying it anymore?”

Daohua fell silent for a moment. “Just put it away. Mother comes over from time to time, and if she sees it and asks who painted it, am I supposed to lie to her?”

After a moment’s thought, Wang Manman suggested, “What if we hang it in the study?”

Daohua shook her head. “Master Shen occasionally visits my study for a chat. It wouldn’t be good if she saw it there either. Just put it away. If I want to see it, I’ll take it out myself.”

Wang Manman nodded and, with some reluctance, put the painting away.

The Little Prince had painted the lady beautifully, and she too couldn’t help but feel joy looking at it. It’s a pity it couldn’t be hung up.

Meanwhile, in the side room.

Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu were still talking about the painting.

“Sister Su, do you think the Little Prince is being too nice to Yiyi?” Dong Yuanyao inquired.

Su Shiyu paused, then carefully said, “I’ve heard my brother mention that the Little Prince has always been kinder to Yiyi than to others.”

Dong Yuanyao: “I know that too. In the past, the Little Prince liked to tease Yiyi. I didn’t think much of it, as I like to play with Yiyi myself. But during the last few encounters, I feel like the Little Prince’s gaze towards Yiyi has changed; it just seems different somehow.”

Su Shiyu: “…Could it be you are mistaken? To me, Yiyi seems the same as before.”

Dong Yuanyao sighed, “In some ways, Yiyi is just like her eldest brother—so oblivious. And being the person involved, she naturally wouldn’t notice.”

After some thought, Su Shiyu suggested, “I think you shouldn’t overthink it. There are things outsiders cannot meddle in. Despite your good intentions, you might end up causing harm.”

“Like the comments you made today, they were a bit much. Yiyi is generous-hearted; anyone else might have taken offense and quarreled with you by now.”

Dong Yuanyao: “I wouldn’t say such things to just anyone.”

Su Shiyu chuckled, “Alright, don’t worry needlessly. Yiyi and the Little Prince only meet during festivals or gatherings, and even then they’re surrounded by many others. Any feelings that might arise are bound to be limited.”

Dong Yuanyao nodded, “Let’s hope so.”

…

The next morning, Daohua set out with Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu, heading straight to the Glass Store.

Dong Yuanyao raced ahead: “My grandmother adores glassware, and this time I intend to pick out several sets to take back.”

Su Shiyu chimed in as well, “I should select some extra pieces too. My uncles are fond of using glass goblets for their wine.”

Daohua joked, “Then I shall nobly keep you company.”

When the trio arrived, the Glass Store was already packed with customers.

Daohua exclaimed, “Xiao Yeyang is going to make a fortune!”

Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu instantly smiled, “Indeed, it’s enviable. Let’s go in and choose quickly before the good stuff is all taken.”

In the store, glass cabinets were neatly arranged, filled with all manner of glass items: plates, bowls, bottles, jars, and ornaments.

The three of them moved from one cabinet to the next, examining the contents.

While they were engrossed in looking, the shop butler approached with a smile. “Ladies, today being the grand opening, we have a lucky draw event. You just happen to be the ninety-eighth, ninety-ninth and one hundredth customers. If you’re willing, please follow me to the second floor to participate.”

All three promptly looked up towards the second floor, where a crowd was already gathering, and the sound of lively chatter could be heard.

Show interest sparked within them, Dong Yuanyao quickly replied, “Butler, please lead the way.” _{freёweɓnovel.com}

The butler smiled, nodded, and then led the three women upstairs.

Reaching the second floor, the butler ushered them into one of the foremost private rooms to take a seat.

When the butler left them to their own devices, Dong Yuanyao grew restless, “Aren’t we supposed to have the lucky draw?”

Daohua pulled at her, pointing towards the other private rooms, “They’re probably waiting for the other rooms to fill up before starting.”

Dong Yuanyao quickly looked around and then excitedly pulled Daohua, exclaiming, “Yiyi, look quickly, your father is here too!”

Daohua paused momentarily, then followed Dong Yuanyao’s pointing finger, and truly saw her foster father sitting in the opposite room along with Xiao Master, then she surveyed the rest of the occupied rooms, “It seems that many officials from Ningmen Prefecture are here too.”

Dong Yuanyao: “Those able to sit in a private room here are no ordinary people, right?”

Daohua: “There are no commoners among those who can enter the Glass Store.”
