The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 516

Chapter 516: Chapter 477, Quelling the Storm (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_1

November 29th was the birthday of the Yan family’s Old Madam. Due to the recent conferment of hereditary titles, although the Yan Family hadn’t prepared a grand celebration this time, there were still many who came to offer birthday wishes. From early morning, the Yan Family was bustling with activity.

In the front yard, Yan Zhigao, together with Yan Zhiyuan, Yan Zhiqiang, and Yan Wenxiu and other younger members of the family, took charge of entertaining the male guests who had arrived; in the backyard, Madam Li was responsible for welcoming the female guests from various families, with the Sun family and the Wu Family, one handling the tea service, the other managing the kitchen.

Even Yan Siyu, who had just returned home, had duties; she led Yang Xiujun, Yan Yihuan, and a few other young ladies to sit beside Old Madam Yan, making pleasant small talk and laughing with the visiting madams and young ladies.

By 11:00 AM, the main room of the Songhe Courtyard was filled with female guests from various families.

The madams and young ladies chatted and laughed; the atmosphere was indeed lively.

“Old Madam truly has good fortune; her granddaughters and granddaughters-in-law are all so beautiful. I believe it won’t be long before the Yan Family’s door is worn out by suitors!”

...

Some smooth-talking madams, while pulling Yan Yihuan, Yang Xiujun, and a few others close, lavished them with praise.

Old Madam Yan replied with a smile, “You flatter them too much, my dear madams. These young ones of mine can hardly compare to the fair maidens you have brought, just look – each one as beautiful as a goddess, making an old woman’s eyesight insufficient to appreciate them all.”

There are people in this world who cannot bear to see others do well; they also lack insight. Even when everyone was enjoying themselves, there was always someone who would step out to disrupt the joyous atmosphere.

“Old Madam Yan, why haven’t I seen Yan’s eldest Daughter? Today is your venerable birthday; as a granddaughter, how could she not be here?”

“Oh, right, a few days ago at the party at the Chen family’s residence, I heard someone say they saw Yan’s eldest Daughter hurriedly leaving in a carriage – I wonder if there’s any truth to it?”

“Leaving a party early surely breaches etiquette. However, we all know the Yan family’s household rules have always been exceptionally strict. Could it be that Yan’s eldest Daughter left in such a hurry because something happened?”

Upon these words, the room that was filled with laughter and chatter suddenly grew quiet.

Old Madam Yan’s smile struggled to remain as she witnessed the various madams either whispering to each other, murmuring softly, or smiling with unspoken meaning. She glanced coldly at Madam Xu, who had spoken.
