The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 485

Chapter 485 -454, Slap in the Face_1

At the fourth quarter of the Hour of the Horse (12:00 PM), Daohua and her entourage finally arrived at the Chen family’s residence, leisurely and unhurried.

Their delayed arrival wasn’t because the Yan family intended to slight the Chen family, but rather because Xiao Yeyang intentionally dragged his feet for some time. Consequently, the Yan family, Dong family, Zhou family, and Su family were collectively late.

Since the Chen family did not invite Yan Siyu’s household, this morning Old Madam Yan’s countenance grew somewhat unpleasant upon learning of this. Daohua, having noticed, complained about it to Xiao Yeyang when he came to join them, and then this fellow excused himself to the latrine, delaying until noon before arriving.

Originally, Master Chen Hong was quite displeased with the tardiness of the Yan family, but upon seeing Xiao Yeyang and Yan Zhigao arrive together, his face immediately donned a warm smile.

If it were any other member of the Imperial Family, Chen Hong might not have been so attentive, but Xiao Yeyang, even remote from Beijing, was still brought up by the Emperor from time to time.

He knew that every year during the holidays, the Emperor would send gifts to this Little Prince, which showed how deeply the Emperor favored him.

...

Yan Zhigao clasped his fists with a smile, “Magistrate Chen, we truly regret being late, please don’t take it to heart!”

Even though Chen Hong minded, at this moment he didn’t show it in the slightest, “Lord Yan, you are too courteous, your presence alone brings me great joy.”

Only after seeing Daohua’s carriage enter the gate did Xiao Yeyang withdraw his gaze, then he glanced at Chen Hong, saying, “Don’t blame Lord Yan and the others. It’s my fault, I had some stomach discomfort this morning and it caused a delay.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Hong repeatedly claimed it was no trouble at all, but internally he began to ponder.

Does this mean the Little Prince is also staying at the Yan Residence?

Chen Hong smiled and invited everyone inside. Seeing Xiao Yeyang and Yan Zhigao walking side by side, with courteous and deferential interactions, he was inwardly shaken.

It seemed the Little Prince’s relationship with the Yan family was deeper than he had imagined!

Chuihua Gate.

Madam Chen went forward with a smile to greet Madam Li and the others.

Because the Dong, Zhou, and Su families were guests at the Yan Residence, their respective ladies slightly lagged behind, allowing Madam Li to walk in front.

However, Madam Chen bypassed Madam Li and directly took the hands of the Dong family’s Madam and Su family’s Madam, exchanging warm and intimate pleasantries.

The smile on Madam Li’s face stiffened a bit but soon adjusted back to normal.

Zhou family’s Madam saw this, chuckled while taking her arm, and whispered, “Don’t mind it, the people from Beijing all have their eyes set on profit.”

Madam Li laughed and shook her head, “Don’t laugh at me, I used to encounter this kind of thing often, but after coming to Ningmen Prefecture, it’s been less frequent. Encountering it so suddenly now, I’m somewhat out of practice.”

Zhou family’s Madam found Madam Li’s comment amusing and couldn’t help but laugh softly.

Madam Chen heard it and immediately looked over, asking with a smile, “Madam Zhou, what are you laughing at?”

With an unchanged expression, Zhou family’s Madam pointed towards a young girl in purple standing in front of Chuihua Gate, “I was telling Madam Li, who is that young lady, she’s turned out so stunningly beautiful?”

Pride showed on Madam Chen’s face, “Madam Zhou, don’t flatter her too much, that girl is my good-for-nothing daughter.” With that, she motioned to the girl in purple, “Jiarou, come over here and meet these ladies.”

Chen Jiarou approached gracefully and curtsied to the ladies, “Jiarou pays respects to all the Madams.”
