The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 663

Chapter 663: Chapter 596, Analysis_1

Madam Zhu visited the butler the day after she had gone to seek advice from Zhu Jiaoyu, handing him a visitation card with a displeased expression in front of Zhu Qiyun and herself, instructing him to personally deliver it to the Yan Family.

"Younger sister-in-law, I have sent the visitation card," Madam Zhu said, "but whether the Yan Family will agree to see us in the end is beyond Master’s and my control. Don’t blame us and say we didn’t try our best when the time comes."

She was truly on the verge of anger; she had clearly refused her younger sister-in-law, yet the woman turned around and went straight to her husband. To make matters worse, her words implied the favor the fourth brother had done for their family back in the day, leaving her husband with no choice but to have her approach the Yan Family with a visitation card.

Madam Zhu truly did not want to visit the Yan Family. Why? Besides her daughter having had a conflict with the eldest Miss of the Yan Family, she had once severely embarrassed Madam Li.

Back when the head of the Yan Family was still the County Magistrate, she looked down upon Madam Li, born into a merchant’s family, and instead interacted with the Yan Family’s concubines. If such a thing happened to herself, she would undoubtedly bear a grudge.

As a woman, she naturally knew how vengeful women could be.

Now, with the gap between the Zhu Family and the Yan Family growing ever wider, Madam Li was nobly titled by the Emperor himself as a fourth-rank lady of honor. It would be too easy for her to suppress Madam Zhu, who did not want to bow and scrape before someone she once looked down upon, especially for the sake of outsiders.

Seeing that her objective was met, Zhu Qiyun’s mother expressed her gratitude without concerning herself with Madam Zhu’s attitude, "Thank you so much, third brother and sister-in-law. No matter the outcome, Qiyun and I will be forever grateful."

Madam Zhu did not wish to speak, lifting her teacup with an air of sending them off.

Zhu Qiyun’s mother had the measure of the situation and did not wish to linger where she was unwelcome, promptly taking Zhu Qiyun with her as she left.

Once they were gone, Zhu Xiuyun came to sit beside Madam Zhu, "Mother, are we going to visit the Yan Family?"

Madam Zhu looked at her daughter and silently nodded.

Zhu Xiuyun immediately became excited, "That’s wonderful! I haven’t seen Yishuang for ages."

Watching her daughter, who was soon to come of age, Madam Zhu’s expression grew complex.

She regretted not having cultivated a better relationship with the Yan Family every time she thought about it.

But there was no medicine for regret in this world, and she had never imagined that the Yan Family would rise so quickly and leave their own far behind.

"Mother, please call for the seamstresses to prepare my going-out attire," Zhu Xiuyun said, excited.

Watching her thrilled daughter, Madam Zhu couldn’t help but dampen her enthusiasm, "The Yan Family might not accept our visitation card at all, and even if they do, I don’t plan on bringing you along."

Zhu Xiuyun asked with a puzzled look, "Why not?"

Madam Zhu sneered, "Your aunt thinks highly of herself and wants to match Qiyun with Wenjie from the second branch of the Yan Family. You know what the second mistress of the Yan Family is like; she’s not someone we can easily deal with. Given Qiyun’s reputation from a called-off engagement, if we go and somehow give that away, we might be turned away outright. Do you think I would subject you to such humiliation?"

In her eyes, Qiyun stood no chance of joining the Yan Family, and visiting was simply inviting disgrace. Yet, that mother and daughter pair insisted on dragging her into it.
