The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Chapter 60, Shangfu City__1

In the end, domestic affairs were managed by the lady of the house. Once Madam Li got serious, not to mention Concubine Lin, even Yan Zhigao, the head of the family, would have to keep his distance.

Tutor Qin had dared to punish Daohua with a ruler, undoubtedly touching Madam Li’s raw nerve.

Not only did she directly stop Daohua from attending school, but she also spread the news that the Yan Family was looking to hire a new tutor, leaving no face for Tutor Qin.

Tutor Qin, in a fluster, sought out Concubine Lin, who smiled and assured him that the Yan Family would not dismiss her.

That very night, Concubine Lin said to Yan Zhigao with a smile, “My lord, did you know the madam is planning to hire a new female tutor?”

Yan Zhigao nodded, “Daohua and Tutor Qin don’t get along. It might be better to find a new tutor for her.”

He truly valued his eldest daughter, and the guilt of not having raised her close by made him feel that her temperament was partially his making. Therefore, he was highly concerned about her future education.

Concubine Lin hesitated for a moment, “But Tutor Qin hasn’t done anything wrong. Although she did punish the eldest young mistress with one ruler, it was out of deep love and strict discipline. My lord, you know about Tutor Qin’s background, a pitiable person.”

“She was too hasty in her actions, but wasn’t she afraid of failing your expectations? Besides, Yishuang and the daughters of a few other prominent figures all like Tutor Qin. If we rashly change tutors, what if they find it hard to adapt?”

Yan Zhigao fell silent for a moment, seemingly unwilling to discuss this any further and replied perfunctorily, “Let’s talk about this later. Changing a tutor isn’t something that can be done in a day or two.”

Concubine Lin’s expression stiffened slightly, and after attending to Yan Zhigao’s washing up, she immediately went to her daughter’s chamber.

Yan Yishuang was selecting clothes to wear for the next day when she saw Concubine Lin and asked in surprise, “Mother, why are you here?”

Concubine Lin asked, “Did you say what your mother told you to tell Zhu Xiuyun and the others?”

Yan Yishuang nodded, “I did, but mother, even if the madam really replaces Tutor Qin, Zhu Xiuyun and the others can’t stop her.”

Concubine Lin laughed, “Foolish girl, of course you young ladies can’t stop her, but the adults behind them can. Previously, because of your older sister, Zhu Xiuyun’s foot got injured and apparently, she went nowhere for the New Year. Madam Zhu was very upset about it. Now that your older sister wants to drive away Tutor Qin, Madam Zhu will be the first to disagree.’

Yan Yishuang looked uncomfortable, “Mother, can you not bring this up again?” The injury to Zhu Xiuyun actually had little to do with her older sister; she had lied that day.

Seeing her daughter’s distressed expression, Concubine Lin sighed, “It’s mother’s fault.”

Yan Yishuang turned her head away, “Mother, please don’t say anymore.” Concubine Lin quickly nodded in agreement, “Alright, I won’t mention it again. Get some rest early.”

The next day, Yan Zhigao encountered Tutor Zhu at the County Governor s Office, and no one knew what they discussed. That evening, when he returned to the inner court, he told Madam Li, “Let’s find a new tutor for Daohua. As for Tutor Qin, she can remain to instruct Yishuang and the others.

In Yan Zhigao’s presence, Madam Li smiled and agreed. Once she turned around, she sent someone to inquire about Yan Zhigao’s activities that day. Learning that Tutor Zhu had sought out Yan Zhigao, Madam Li immediately scoffed.

Ping Xiao scornfully said, “Madam Zhu prides herself on being from a Scholar Family, yet she meddles with a concubine. It’s truly laughable!”

Madam Li took a deep breath, “One must endure when circumstances demand

it.”

Compared to the Zhu Family, the Yan Family’s foundation was too shallow. Some things not only required her patience but also called for the lord to be thrice as courteous when facing Tutor Zhu.

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Madam Li began packing up for

Yan Zhigao’s trip to Shangfu City.
