Chapter 412: Chapter 388, Avoiding Sight_1
“Did that brat annoy you?” Gu Jian asked his apprentice.
Every time his apprentice came over, the goshawk would signal her nephew, something the apprentice knew.
Now, having drugged the goshawk to unconsciousness, did she not wish to see her nephew?
Daohua held the drugged goshawk, offering a sheepish smile without saying a word. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
At that moment, Granny Gu also came out and, smiling, beckoned to Daohua. When Daohua approached, Granny Gu took her hand and walked her inside, saying as they went, “Tell Granny, did Xiao Yeyang make you angry? If that’s true, next time he comes, Granny will help you beat him up.”
Daohua shook her head, “Granny, Master, don’t overthink it, there’s no disagreement between me and Xiao Yeyang.” After saying this, she quickly changed the subject, “Granny, Master, I came this time to tell you some good news, my elder brother passed the imperial examination.”
Granny Gu and Gu Jian, seeing Daohua did not want to talk more about Xiao Yeyang, followed her lead without further pushing.
“Your grandmother always praised your big brother for his scholarship, and now that he’s passed, she must be thrilled, right?”
“Isn’t that the truth? Ever since she found out big brother passed, our grandmother’s smile hasn’t faded. Granny, Master, it’s almost noon, I’ll go cook for you.”
After Daohua entered the kitchen, Granny Gu and Gu Jian exchanged glances.
“Those two kids must have had a quarrel.”
Gu Jian stroked his chin, “Xiao Yeyang is quite accommodating to Daohua, he shouldn’t have angered her, should he?”
Granny Gu, “…Let the children solve their own problems, we shouldn’t meddle, lest we make things worse.”
Yan Residence.
Yan Wenkai and others returned to the Yan Residence on the third day after receiving the news at the Yan Family.
They had thought they would definitely see Daohua this time, but they were informed that she had gone out. Xiao Yeyang could no longer restrain himself, and in front of everyone, he directly asked the old lady of the Yan Family, “Old Madam, where has Daohua gone?”
Madam Li felt Xiao Yeyang’s direct inquiry about the daughter’s whereabouts was somewhat abrupt, her brows furrowing slightly.
The old lady of the Yan Family was about to answer, but Madam Li cut in before her, “She went to her uncle’s estate.”
The old lady glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law with a somewhat puzzled expression but ultimately did not refute her, simply nodding and smiling at Xiao Yeyang.
Yan Wenkai, “What’s this, why did big sister go to the uncle’s estate?”
Madam Li smiled vaguely, “She probably had something to ask him.” Then, she swiftly changed the subject, “Wenxiu is probably not going to be back until mid-September, and we’ll be hosting a banquet at that time. You all must come.”
Xiao Yeyang didn’t respond but simply nodded absently, his brow furrowed as if lost in thought.
Dong Yuanxuan, seeing the atmosphere turning a bit stiff, couldn’t help but speak up to lighten the mood, “Aunt, Wenxiu is joining the Spring Examination next year, isn’t he?”
Madam Li shook her head, “He might have to wait until the next time. Wenxiu is still too young and hasn’t experienced much. Your uncle wants him to get two more years of experience first.”
Dong Yuanxuan carried on the conversation, and with Yan Wenkai and Su Hongxin joking alongside, the atmosphere became more bearable.
While everyone in the room laughed and chatted, Xiao Yeyang remained disconnected.
Xiao Yeyang forcibly suppressed his eagerness, sitting for a quarter of an hour, before standing up to take leave, “Old Madam, Madam, I’ll go check on the Glass Factory, so I will take my leave first.”
Yan Wenkai and the others stood up at once, having not yet visited the Glass Factory since it was built. This was a good opportunity for them to take a look.
However, Xiao Yeyang shook his head at them, “I’m going to check the accounts this time; I won’t bring you along. You stay here and keep the old lady company.”
Having said that, he paid his respects to the old lady and Madam Li, then left with De Fu.
Yan Wenkai muttered, “The Little Prince can check his accounts, and we can visit our Glass Factory, there’s no conflict!”
Dong Yuanxuan laughed, “The Glass Factory strictly forbids outsiders from entering; it’s better for us not to go.”
Su Hongxin nodded, “That’s right. Many families have been looking for an opportunity to enter the Glass Factory but have all been refused by the Little Prince; it would not be good for us to start asking now.”
Hearing this, Yan Wenkai did not persist, “Then let’s not go for a visit.” Saying this, he laughed and looked at Dong Yuanxuan and the others, “My elder brother passed the examination; today, let’s drink to our heart’s content.”
Su Hongxin immediately responded, “Great, but make it wine; that’s my favorite.”
…
“Master, shall I go right away to check where the Li Family estate is?”
As soon as they left the Yan Residence, De Fu, seeing his master’s face looking terribly upset, immediately asked.
Xiao Yeyang shook his head, “No need, go directly to Taohua Village.”
