The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 872

Chapter 872: Chapter 759, Xiliao Delegation Enters the Capital

Prince Ping regarded the eastern territory of the Prince Residence for Xiao Yeyang to build a new house, which caused quite a stir within the residence.

Chen Courtyard, located on the western side of the Prince Residence and closest to the main courtyard Pingxi Hall, had been assigned to Xiao Yechen upon his marriage. It was refurbished and specifically prepared as a new dwelling.

"Don’t mind how much our father has doted on mother and my husband over the years; in comparison to his first wife and legitimate son, they still fall short."

In the main room, Luo Qiong was speaking with a maid who had accompanied her as part of her dowry.

Compared to the other courtyards in the residence, Chen Courtyard—with its size, location, and grandeur—was undoubtedly the best. When Luo Qiong had first married in, she saw that Chen Courtyard was only slightly inferior to Pingxi Hall and truly believed that the position of Princely Heir of the Prince Residence would be her husband’s.

But now...

Hearing the bustling construction sounds from the eastern side of the Prince Residence, a look of derision crossed Luo Qiong’s face.

Perhaps the father did dote on the mother and her husband, but he probably never considered appointing her husband as the Princely Heir.

Historically, the east has been esteemed. From the location selected for her husband and Xiao Yeyang’s marriage residences, it was clear that no matter how strained the relationship between Xiao Yeyang and the father was, the father’s preference lay with him.

The maid felt sorry for her mistress. The reason the Duke had agreed to her master’s proposal was that he thought of the Prince’s affectionate treatment of her master and believed the future title of the Prince Residence would fall upon her master’s head.

But now, the Prince obviously valued Little Prince more. The eastern courtyard had just begun reconstruction, and the Prince had already dispatched someone to make a name plaque. It was said that Little Prince’s new residence was to be called Pingxi Hall.

The Prince’s regular court was called Pingxi Hall, whereas the Little Prince’s would be Pingxi Hall; was this not telling everyone that the position of Princely Heir of the Prince Residence was destined for the Little Prince?

If her master could not inherit the title of the Prince Residence, then her marrying into this family would have been in vain.

At that moment, a maid hurried in, "Ma’am, the Princess Consort has a headache again. Someone has just been dispatched to summon the Imperial Physician."

Luo Qiong scoffed. This mother-in-law of hers could only resort to such undignified tactics.

In the battle for the title of the Prince Residence, she was still naïvely thinking that her acts of feigned weakness and pretense of sorrow could continue to be effective!

Luo Qiong asked indifferently, "Where has my husband gone?"

The maid shook her head, "The eldest son went to the Third Prince’s Residence early this morning."

Luo Qiong sighed, fell silent for a long moment, and then spoke somberly, "Father, you’ve really misjudged, with such an incapable man, all else is pointless."

If either her husband or mother-in-law were competent, she might have found the will to fight, but with fools on all sides, what use was there in fighting alone?

Mother-in-law, a Princess Consort no less, spends her days using concubine tactics to gain the Prince’s attention, completely oblivious to the duties of a primary wife.

And her husband—instead of seeking favor from the Emperor for appointments, he socializes with officials of little value.

Building connections is important, but the prerequisite is having significant abilities to maintain these networks. In Beijing, everyone is practical. If there are no benefits to be gained from someone, they won’t just fail to make friends—they’d be lucky not to be bitten back.

She had told her husband this many times, but he persisted in his stubborn beliefs.

One’s background and insights truly determine their scope in life!

Luo Qiong sighed silently, gathered herself, and still went to visit the Princess Consort. With her mother-in-law ill, it was her duty as a daughter-in-law to attend to her sickness.
