The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 351

Chapter 351 -329, Autobiography_1

Daohua, with her arms crossed and leaning against the window, wore a harsh expression on her face as she gazed out onto the street, exuding a manner that kept others at bay.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yeyang fell silent for a moment before walking over and sitting down.

As no sound had been heard for some time, Daohua slowly turned her head for a furtive glance, but as soon as she turned around, her eyes met with Xiao Yeyang’s. Caught in the act of peeping, she felt an awkward rush of embarrassment and blurted out with feigned toughness hiding her inner timidity, “What are you looking at? Haven’t seen a beauty before?”

A flicker of amusement passed through Xiao Yeyang’s eyes, and with a smile curling his lips, he teasingly said, “Indeed, I haven’t. Forgive my shortsightedness, as I have only now realized that our Miss Yiyi is quite the charming beauty.”

Daohua, not expecting such a remark from Xiao Yeyang, was momentarily stunned, then looked at him with a huff of irritability.

Was this guy flirting with her?

Had he grown too audacious?

Unwilling to show weakness, Daohua snorted coldly in return, “Then you must be blind.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang nodded in agreement with a serious face, then continued to smile at Daohua, “It seems I’ve finally opened my eyes.”

Daohua’s brows furrowed once more as she looked at Xiao Yeyang with suspicion.

What kind of medicine had this guy taken?

Wasn’t he here to apologize?

At that moment, Defu walked in, bending over with his head lowered. He placed a tea tray down, kept silent, and then quietly retreated.

Xiao Yeyang rose to pour two cups of tea and extended one to Daohua, “Having watched the dragon boat race for so long, you must be thirsty. Come, have some tea!”

Daohua glanced at Xiao Yeyang, smirked, and walked over to take the teacup, then casually took a seat on the stool. She raised an eyebrow at Xiao Yeyang with an expression that said ‘If you’ve got something to say, spit it out; I’m all ears.’

Xiao Yeyang sat beside her without speaking. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, “I don’t think I’ve ever told you about my family background, have I?”

This truly surprised Daohua.

Before she could say anything, Xiao Yeyang began speaking of his own accord.

“When I was very young, my father, the Prince, and my mother separated, and the scandal made quite a stir. My father felt humiliated, and he took out his full fury on me. Since then, he didn’t want to see me anymore and didn’t care about anything related to me, instead lavishing all his affection on his concubine and their eldest illegitimate son.”

“After my mother left the Prince Residence, I lost not only my mother but also my father.”

“The servants in the Prince Residence were skilled at fawning over the mighty and trampling the weak. When I was five, I got into an argument with Xiao Yechen, and during the scuffle, he pushed me into a lake. If the Imperial Physician hadn’t arrived in time, I wouldn’t be in this world anymore.”

“Because of that incident, the Emperor, my uncle, knew I was having a hard time in the Prince Residence, and seeing that my father didn’t care for me at all, he took me into the Imperial Palace to be raised.”

“I thought that I could finally live in peace, but after arriving, I found that life in the Imperial Palace was even more difficult than in the Prince Residence.”

Daohua listened quietly, her initial annoyance fading away to be replaced by a heart full of compassion and sympathy.

A five-year-old child, amidst the complex web of power in the Imperial Palace, devoid of parental protection, how hard must his days have been?

She had heard more than once how Xiao Yeyang, when in Beijing, was known as a defiant and ill-tempered person. She previously couldn’t comprehend why that was, but now she understood.
