The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149: Chapter 135, Rest Husband Notes_1

Because the audience near the stage had increased, Zhou Chengye asked his servant to fetch the script for selecting plays, ready to choose a new one.

There weren’t many adults present, just a few, and the rest were young masters and ladies from various families.

Zhou Chengye first went to ask the adults if they had any requests. After they all indicated they didn’t wish to select any plays, he directly took the booklet to Xiao Yeyang.

“Little Prince, please choose a play.”

Xiao Yeyang glanced at the booklet and, seeing Daohua craning her neck to look over, smiled and handed it over, “You choose!”

Daohua didn’t stand on ceremony, taking the booklet directly and began looking through it with Zhou Jingwan beside her.

The two girls chattered excitedly as they discussed their options, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Below them, Qian Bilan, who had been paying attention, nudged Yan Yihuan and glanced at Yan Yile and Yan Yishuang beside her, whispering, “The booklet is in the hands of Elder Sister Yan now, if there’s any play you wish to hear, you can go and ask her to select it.”

Yan Yihuan glanced at Qian Bilan and shook her head, “We don’t have any particular play in mind, whatever Elder Sister and Miss Zhou choose, we will listen to.”

Hearing this, Qian Bilan forced a smile and looked at the young masters seated around Yan Yiyi. They were all sons of high-ranking officials from Zhongzhou Province.

Unfortunately, with her father’s lower official rank, she didn’t even have the opportunity to get acquainted with them.

Yan Yishuang and Yan Yile, however, seemed somewhat interested.

All the distinguished individuals were seated around Elder Sister, and they too wanted to make their acquaintance. If only they had known, they should have followed Elder Sister when she accompanied their grandmother out earlier.

By now, as lunchtime approached, Zhou Jingwan was called away. Daohua, who knew nothing about ancient operas, returned the booklet to Xiao Yeyang.

“How come you didn’t select a single play?”

Daohua moved her lips and finally uttered two words, “Don’t know!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang immediately laughed, “How can you not know how to choose even one play?”

Daohua huffed, “So what if I don’t know how to choose a play? I grew up in the countryside and naturally never had the chance to watch plays.” After speaking, she averted her gaze from him.

Xiao Yeyang stopped laughing, observed Daohua’s expression, and seeing she was ignoring him, felt somewhat disappointed. He tossed the booklet to Zhou Chengye, telling him to pick.

By the time Zhou Chengye had chosen a new play, Xiao Yeyang noticed Daohua was still ignoring him and became restless.

Defu couldn’t help but look heavenward again.

His lord was beyond hope!

“Alright, I shouldn’t have made fun of you. It was just a jest, is it worth getting mad about?” After hesitating for a while, Xiao Yeyang finally managed to say this.

Daohua wasn’t actually angry but seeing Xiao Yeyang’s smug look, she deliberately wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine. Hearing his concession, she turned her head to look at him, deciding it was time to let it go.

“That’s right, if I haven’t been exposed to something, naturally I wouldn’t understand. Like the time we had to beg for food while fleeing, you didn’t know how to do it either, did I laugh at you? Didn’t I teach you bit by bit…”

“I was wrong!” Xiao Yeyang, hearing Daohua bring up their past begging, immediately interrupted her and looked around to see if others were paying attention to them. Relieved that no one was, he breathed easier.

If others knew he had begged for food, he would have been too ashamed to show his face.

Behind him, Defu’s eyes widened. He knew his Little Prince had endured tough times after being kidnapped, but he hadn’t realized it was to the extent of begging for food!

Daohua, quite considerate, didn’t continue and instead happily turned her attention back to the performers on stage.

Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang rubbed his slightly aching forehead and glanced back at Defu, shooting him a warning look.

At that moment, Defu was feeling sympathetic towards his lord. Receiving the signal, he made a swear-to-keep-silent gesture.

“You’re watching so intently. Do you understand what you hear?”
