The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 909

Chapter 909: Chapter 782, Unforgivable

Xiao Yechen arrived at Four Seasons Manor at an inopportune time, just as Daohua, along with Prince Shengping and Gu Jian, had gone out to inspect the autumn harvest of the various manors.

After Gu Jian moved into Four Seasons Manor, aside from a small number of tenant farmers skilled in agriculture, the majority of people had been replaced by the Emperor’s own men.

Dongli and Caiju had repeatedly warned the head of the manor that no outsiders should be permitted entry at will, so Xiao Yechen was ruthlessly turned away at the door of the manor.

Xiao Yechen was quite angry about this.

Looking at the tightly shut gate, Gao Fang, Xiao Yechen’s personal eunuch, said indignantly, "The Countess of Shengping hasn’t even married into the Prince Residence yet, and she already disregards Your Highness so much that she won’t even let you enter the gates."

Xiao Yechen snorted coldly, "Xiao Yeyang has never tolerated me or my mother since childhood. Yan Yiyi is his fiancée, of course she would follow her fiancé’s lead."

Gao Fang hesitated, "Young Master, the Prince isn’t here. What do we do now? Go back?"

Xiao Yechen furrowed his brow, somewhat suspecting that Yan Yiyi had intentionally concealed the news of his arrival, intending to keep his father at Four Seasons Manor to further win him over.

It was known that the relationship between his father and Xiao Yeyang had become so estranged over the years, largely because the two rarely contacted or communicated, leading to more and more misunderstandings and conflicts.

He was genuinely worried that if his father continued to stay at Four Seasons Manor, due to Yan Yiyi’s matchmaking, his relationship with Xiao Yeyang would gradually improve and his heart might begin to lean towards him again.

"No, we’re not leaving. Go tell the people inside the manor that I must see my father today," he said, turning back to the carriage.

Gao Fang conveyed the message to the head of the manor.

The manor head, being one of the Emperor’s men, brimmed with confidence and flatly said, "The Prince really isn’t here. If Xiao Yechen wants to wait, then just wait."

This attitude infuriated Gao Fang, who, back by the carriage, further exaggerated the situation about Daohua.

"The Countess of Shengping truly acts like she’s from lowly beginnings, thinking that just because she’s risen to favor, she can disregard everyone. Young Master, after you return to the residence, this servant must speak with the Princess Consort about how she disrespected you, and when she marries into the Prince Residence, we’ll make sure the Princess Consort sets her straight."

Xiao Yechen’s eyes were dark and menacing, "Yan Yiyi dares be so arrogant simply because she relies on Xiao Yeyang’s power, Xiao Yeyang..."

This person was really too detestable. How had he not drowned in the icy lake back then? To have been abducted by human traffickers and still come back to vie with him for the Prince Residence’s nobility and his father’s affection.

Gao Fang looked around and asked, "Young Master, are we just going to wait here by the roadside?"

Xiao Yechen replied, "We’re waiting here! It’s perfect for everyone to see what kind of hospitality the Yan Family girl offers." He must take his father away today.

...

The old Prince Yong’s manor was adjacent to Four Seasons Manor, and with the old prince being of advanced age and disliking the busyness of the Prince Residence, he spent at least half of each month living in his manor by Tangyu Mountain.

The servants reported Xiao Yechen being stopped outside Four Seasons Manor to the old prince immediately.

"This Countess of Shengping, where on earth does she get such confidence from?"

In recent years, the Crown Prince had been covertly seeking to win over old Prince Yong’s favor.

Old Prince Yong, whom the Emperor greatly respected, was exactly the kind of support the Crown Prince was hoping for, to gain an advocate to speak on his behalf more frequently before the Emperor.

Knowing that old Prince Yong was residing at the manor these days, the Crown Prince had taken the opportunity to pay a visit. _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}

Old Prince Yong glanced at the Crown Prince, continuing to play with the small bird in the cage, not saying a word, yet his mind was wandering.

If that painting he saw at Qianqing Palace was as he had guessed, then the Countess of Shengping’s backing was formidable indeed.

Seeing that old Prince Yong was ignoring him again, the Crown Prince felt a mix of annoyance and bewilderment. As the eldest son of the Emperor, he was confident in his abilities; why couldn’t the old prince support him?

As it approached noon, and seeing that the Crown Prince was still loitering, old Prince Yong thought for a moment and summoned his butler, "Is Yechen still waiting?"

The butler nodded, "Yes, Prince."

Old Prince Yong instructed, "It’s almost time for the midday meal. Go and invite him in, let’s not leave him hungry."

Hearing this, the Crown Prince felt anxious. Xiao Yechen was allied with the third brother, and his visit here had been kept secret from the others. If Xiao Yechen came over, the other brothers would surely find out soon that he was trying to win over the old prince.

Watching the butler leave swiftly, the Crown Prince opened his mouth, but in the end, didn’t dare to stop the man.

It wasn’t long before Xiao Yechen was invited over by the butler.

Seeing the Crown Prince, Xiao Yechen was not too surprised. The butler had casually informed him of the situation when inviting him. Just as the Crown Prince had thought, he immediately sent someone to inform the third Prince.
