The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 646

Chapter 646: Chapter 582, Zhu Qiyun_1

As soon as Xiao Yeyang and his companions left, the women began to gossip.

The Madams Guo and Jiang, who had previously paid little attention to Madam Li, suddenly became very proactive in striking up a conversation with her after seeing that Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai had arrived with Xiao Yeyang.

The other madams, seeing the exceptional Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai, also warmly chatted with Madam Li, frequently inquiring whether the two had engagements set.

Watching all the madams interact so warmly, Su Madam Three, who had previously felt that her daughter had been slighted, now felt a hint of relief. Fortunately, both families had taken a liking to each other and had a verbal agreement in place.

Not to mention, upon seeing young Wenkai again, she found herself liking him more and more.

Madam Dong witnessed the expression on Su Madam Three’s face and kept it in mind. She had heard about the planned marriage alliance between the Yan Family and the Su Family. Knowing that to marry Su Shiyu, the Yan family had agreed to not let Yan Wenkai take concubines, Madam Dong genuinely felt this was an excellent match.

With a marriage to the Su Family, the Yan Family could ascend even further.

Thinking about her eldest son’s enthusiastic persuasion to attend the gathering at Ningmen Prefecture, Madam Dong couldn’t help but glance over at Daohua, who was whispering and laughing with her daughter and Su Shiyu.

A fine girl, yet not fated to be with their family.

In March, the old Marquis wrote a letter suggesting a match for Yuanxuan with the legitimate eldest daughter of the Marquis Residence of Zhaode, asking if they were willing.

She had asked her family and well-connected friends about the girl. The marquis’s daughter was deemed suitable; her looks, character, and family background all matched Yuanxuan perfectly.

After careful consideration with her husband, they were very satisfied with the match and agreed to it.

Madam Dong looked towards the men’s side, observing her son standing out among the young masters, and thought to herself that her son deserved a girl from an even better family.

While everyone was engaged in lively conversation, more guests arrived.

Daohua’s peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the newcomers and she paused slightly.

"Do you know them?" Dong Yuanyao noticed Daohua’s change in expression and looked in the direction she was gazing at.

Daohua nodded, "The leading lady’s husband, Zhu Jiaoyu, was once a subordinate of my father, and the girl behind her, I’ve met her once before."

On the other hand, Madam Zhu, upon seeing Madam Li, looked slightly uncomfortable. She had used to look down on Madam Li’s merchant background. Now, the latter had become a fourth-ranked imperial commandant’s wife bestowed by the Emperor himself, while she remained merely a Jiaoyu’s wife.

Madam Li was somewhat surprised to see Madam Zhu, but she did not show it. When Madam Zhu looked her way, she smiled and nodded, thus acknowledging her presence.

After exchanging greetings with the other madams, Madam Zhu sat next to the Prefectural Governor’s wife from Pingzhou, along with another lady and a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Madam Tang, this is my good-for-nothing niece, Qiyun," Madam Zhu introduced the girl beside her warmly to the Prefectural Governor’s wife from Pingzhou, "Qiyun, Madam Tang’s teacup is almost empty, go and refill it for her."

The Prefectural Governor’s wife from Pingzhou scrutinized Zhu Qiyun with a smile, her eyes filled with undisguised pickiness and judgment.

Zhu Qiyun felt embarrassed and flushed under the scrutiny, as if she were merchandise, and reluctantly went to the Prefectural Governor’s wife from Pingzhou’s side to pour the tea, taking the teapot from the servant.

Perhaps due to excessive tension, Zhu Qiyun didn’t pay attention, tilting the teapot too much, causing the tea to spill out.

"Oh dear!"

The spill of hot water reached the Prefectural Governor’s wife from Pingzhou’s hand, making her cry out.

The sound was loud and it startled Zhu Qiyun, who then lost her grip on the teapot, causing it to crash to the ground and shatter with a ’clang.’
