The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1071

Chapter 1071: Chapter 894: Asking for Trouble

Beijing, Yan Residence.

After returning from Xiliang, Li Xingnian instructed the butler to prepare the goods to be sold in Ganzhou Guard and then arrived at the Yan Residence.

That day happened to be Yan Zhiqiang’s birthday, and the entire Yan Family was at home, including several daughters who had married out and returned for the occasion.

Seeing Li Xingnian, who had darkened several shades, the members of the Yan Family experienced a moment of stunned silence.

Li Xingnian greeted Madam Yan with a smile and then exchanged greetings with Yan Zhigao and Yan Zhiqiang.

Madam Yan, upon knowing that her second brother just returned from Xiliang, quickly asked, "Second brother, is the climate in Xiliang really that harsh? You’ve only been gone for a little over three months, and you’ve become so much darker. Yiyi and the others who have stayed in Xiliang must have gotten even darker, right?"

Li Xingnian smiled and shook his head: "Don’t worry, the climate in Xiliang isn’t pleasant, but Yiyi doesn’t often go out, so it’s not too bad actually."

Madam Yan didn’t seem to be consoled, her brows slightly furrowed.

Madam Yan, on the other hand, was more relaxed than Madam Yan; her granddaughter used to run around in the sun-soaked fields when she was little, and she still grew up to be fair and tender.

Madam Yan asked again, "Second brother, are Yiyi and the others doing well in Xiliang?"

Li Xingnian nodded with a smile: "They’re doing very well." He then handed over the letters brought back by Daohua to Madam Yan, "One is for the Prince Residence, and one is for the Duke Residence. I’ll have to trouble you to deliver these two."

Madam Yan took the letters and sat down next to Madam Yan with the letter from her daughter to the family, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law eagerly started reading.

Yan Zhigao saw this and did not join them; instead, he inquired about Li Xingnian’s experiences in Xiliang.

Li Xingnian began to discuss the sights and experiences he encountered along the way.

Everyone from the Yan Family listened carefully, and after Madam Yan and Madam Yan finished reading the letters, they also perked up their ears.

Hearing that Xiliang was indeed as barren as rumored, and the presence of bandits as well, they couldn’t help but worry for Daohua and Xiao Yeyang.

Seeing the somber look on the Yan Family’s faces, Li Xingnian laughed and mentioned Daohua’s terracing and buying of a ranch, "That girl Yiyi, I see her as not losing to any man. She can live well wherever she is, so you all needn’t worry about her."

After staying for a while, Li Xingnian headed to the main courtyard with Madam Yan and Yan Zhigao, with others also leaving Madam Yan’s courtyard.

"Originally, I thought our eldest sister married the best among us sisters, but it turns out she’s living the hardest life. With such a desolate place as Xiliang, no matter how euphemistically Uncle Li speaks, it’s not hard to imagine how poor it must be there," said Yan Yile with a hint of schadenfreude as soon as they left Madam Yan’s courtyard.

Zhu Qiyun and Yan Yihuan heard her and furrowed their brows at the same time, just about to scold her when they heard Yan Yishuang’s voice from behind.

Yan Yishuang, with her pregnant belly, came over and looked at Yan Yile with a cold laugh: "Fourth sister, no matter how hard the eldest sister’s life is, she has her husband’s affection. You’re here making sarcastic remarks; you’d be better off worrying about your own matters."

"I’ve heard that the favored concubine recently taken by fourth brother-in-law has won the hearts of the Feng Family Madam and your husband. Just a few days ago, at a banquet I attended, I even heard someone saying that she’s the fourth brother-in-law’s Jie Yuhua."

"Fourth sister, you really are carefree, with your backyard on fire, yet you still have the leisure to gossip here. I truly admire you," she said, casting a glance at Yan Yile’s belly.
