The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 480

Chapter 480 -449, Wood Institute_1

After enjoying their tea, Yan Wenxiu, noticing that their arrival had made his sisters feel uneasy, smiled and suggested, “Let’s go to the garden to appreciate the flowers.” Having said that, he was the first to stand up.

Seeing this, everyone else also stood up.

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua without saying anything, and was the first to leave the pavilion. Yan Wenkai hurried to follow, and pulled Yan Wentao, who remained seated, to his feet.

With the three men gone, Yan Wenxiu led the others out as well.

Only when everyone had left did the girls in the pavilion breathe a sigh of relief.

Yang Xiujun turned to Daohua and asked, “Sister Yiyi, was the gentleman in the blue robe just now the Little Prince from Prince Residence of Ping?”

...

Daohua nodded, “Mhm.”

Yang Xiujun smiled and said, “That Little Prince doesn’t seem as defiant and unruly as the rumors suggest.”

Daohua looked over, “You know of Xiao Yeyang?”

Yang Xiujun was a bit surprised that Daohua referred to Xiao Yeyang by name, but she quickly said, “Yes, I heard about the Little Prince at another family’s banquet. People said he is capricious and rough, often hitting and scolding others without good reason, very difficult to get along with.”

Upon hearing this, Daohua immediately frowned.

Even when she first met Xiao Yeyang, he had been at most a little prideful and sometimes petulant, not even close to the exasperating child her cousin had described. How exaggerated her words sounded!

The Yang Family’s social circle in Beijing wasn’t very large, but if even they spoke in such a way about Xiao Yeyang, it was a testament to how poor his reputation was in the capital.

“Rumors often exaggerate the truth; they are hardly convincing,” she said, her tone somewhat cold.

Yang Xiujun looked at Daohua with surprise. Was it her imagination, or did Sister Yiyi seem upset? “What you say is true,” she agreed.

Zhou Jingwan overheard their conversation. Knowing that the slander against the Little Prince had upset Daohua, she leaned in and whispered, “Isn’t it just people echoing each other in the capital? Is it worth getting angry over?”

Daohua looked askance and replied, “Who’s angry?”

Zhou Jingwan pursed her lips, “Yes, yes, you’re not angry. I misspoke, alright?” She then changed the subject and asked with a smile, “Is it true that your elder brother Yan is set to marry the second young lady from Earl Zhaode’s Residence?”

Daohua shook her head, lowering her voice, “Not yet. The Han Family elders came to sound out our situation. As soon as they arrived, my parents sent someone to Beijing to gather information about the Han Family as well.”

Zhou Jingwan nodded, “As they should, the matter of marriage is significant, especially since your elder brother is the eldest son. Choosing the right bride for him is even more important, as she will be entrusted with the family’s future.”

Daohua, reminded of something, smiled, “I heard from my father that he got acquainted with the Han Family through your uncle’s introduction. If our families really become relatives, your uncle will become the matchmaker.”

Zhou Jingwan nodded with a smile, “I’ve heard my grandfather mention this as well.”

Remembering the sentiment of her own third brother, Daohua contemplated and then tentatively said, “It would be great if our two families could also form a marriage alliance. That way, our relationship would become even closer.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jingwan’s mind was suddenly filled with the image of Yan Wentao looking at her with an adoring smile, and she couldn’t help blushing. She gave Daohua a perturbed glance, “Just because we don’t have a marriage alliance, does that mean our relationship is not good?”

Seeing her reaction, Daohua smiled demurely, “Of course it’s good. But wouldn’t it be even better to take a step further?”

Yang Xiujun, seeing the two girls talking intimately, wanted to join the conversation but couldn’t find an opportunity. She hesitated a few times and then gave up, sipping her tea with a forlorn expression. _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}

Yan Yishuang, observing all of this, pondered for a moment before sitting beside Yang Xiujun with a smile, striking up a conversation.

The two shared a love for poetry and soon found themselves laughing together.

Yan Yunxi and Yan Yunyan had arrived early and were already familiar with Yan Yihuan and Yan Yile; at that moment, Yihuan and Yile were sitting at the table, teaching Yunxi and Yunyan how to brew tea.

Consequently, the atmosphere in the pavilion became congenial.

…

In the garden, Yan Wenxiu led everyone to appreciate the flowers for a while, and then they proceeded to the front courtyard.

Along the way, as he watched Xiao Yeyang chatting amicably with Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao, Han Hexu attempted several times to join the conversation, but found no appropriate opportunity.

Seeing this, Feng Hao, walked at the rear together with Han Hexu, suggesting in a low voice, “Stay calm. Although the Little Prince isn’t as difficult to approach as the rumors suggest, he isn’t someone you can just approach casually. Our main purpose here is regarding our second cousin’s marriage and to ascertain the situation of the Yan Family.”

“The Little Prince is good friends with the Yan brothers, and if our second cousin eventually becomes betrothed to Wenxiu, we can then use the Yan Family’s connection to get to know the Little Prince, and it won’t be too late.”

Han Hexu nodded, “I got distracted. I’m glad I have you, cousin, to remind me.”

Feng Hao smiled at his cousin’s acknowledgment and said no more.

Yan Wenxiu glanced back and relaxed slightly, seeing that Han Hexu was no longer trying to get close to the Little Prince.

Zhou Chengye, noticing, chuckled softly, “Your future brother-in-law doesn’t seem very savvy, does he?”

Yan Wenxiu glared at him, “Don’t talk nonsense about things that aren’t settled.”
