The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 923

Chapter 923: Chapter 791, All Blessed People

With the wedding day drawing near, Daohua, who had remained indifferent, also began to feel nervous.

The thought of leaving the Yan Family to marry into a new family left Daohua somewhat frightened and uneasy.

Madam Li, seeing her daughter finally showing signs of a bride-to-be, couldn’t help but chortle, "I thought that girl wouldn’t be nervous. Just listen to what she used to say—getting married is just changing the place where you eat and sleep. Look how simple and relaxed her words were. And now, when it comes down to it, she’s not so composed after all."

Ping Xiao and Ping Tong both covered their mouths, giggling secretly.

In mid-November, Gu Jian had twenty loads of items sent over to the Yan Residence from Dongli as Daohua’s wedding dowry.

Madam Li felt a mix of happiness and headache upon seeing the items sent by Gu Jian.

She had inquired before; when Luo Qiong married into the Prince Residence, her dowry was one hundred and twenty loads, and she had prepared her daughter’s dowry by that standard.

Now that the old master Gu had added another twenty loads, the number of dowry loads had exceeded the standard.

"We need to reorganize Yiyi’s dowry, making sure each load is packed solidly."

...

"Second sister, I heard that the Yan Family prepared a dowry of one hundred and twenty loads for the Countess of Shengping, is it true?"

On November 20th, Madam Han, along with Han Xinman, came to add to Daohua’s dowry. After meeting with the old Madam Yan and Madam Li, they went to Han Xinran’s courtyard.

Han Xinran nodded, without going into detail.

Madam Han exclaimed, "I truly didn’t expect your in-laws to have amassed such wealth. The Countess of Shengping’s dowry is almost equal to that of a noble’s daughter."

Han Xinran didn’t want to discuss Daohua’s dowry further and smilingly shifted the conversation.

Madam Han: "By the way, has the bride’s chief attendant been decided for the Countess of Shengping’s wedding?"

Han Xinran: "My mother-in-law is handling that, I’m not too certain."

Madam Han looked at Han Xinran with disapproval, "Child, how can you be so indifferent about such matters? You should ask around; if it’s not settled, you would be able to help your mother-in-law with her worries."

Han Xinran didn’t budge, simply saying, "If my mother-in-law needs my help, she will ask for it."

Han Xinman, observing Han Xinran’s displeasure, spoke earnestly, "Second sister, you can’t be so nonchalant. As daughter-in-laws, we should be proactive and look for things to do, not passively wait for our mothers-in-law to give instructions."

Madam Han continued, "Your elder sister is right. You’ve always been like this since you were young. Without someone pushing you, you tend to be lazy. Now that you’re married, you can no longer afford to be as indolent and negligent as you were at home."

Han Xinran was extremely repulsed by her mother and elder sister’s constant preaching, and her impatience grew increasingly evident on her face.

Han Xinman noticed Han Xinran’s displeasure and glanced at Madam Han, signaling for her to stop talking.

Madam Han was somewhat dissatisfied, but remembering the instructions from the old Madam Han before they left, she refrained from saying more. Instead, she spoke of the purpose of their visit today:

"The bride’s chief attendant is not so easy to find, and the Yan Family has only recently come to Beijing and doesn’t have many close friends. Your second aunt is a good person; her parents are still alive, she has both sons and daughters, and she has a good relationship with your second uncle. Mention it to your mother-in-law, and have her become the chief attendant."

Upon hearing this, Han Xinran’s expression darkened instantly, and she stood up sharply, "Mother, how can you even suggest such a thing? Do you not wish for me to have a good life in my in-laws’ house?"

Madam Han’s face also hardened, "Why shouldn’t I make such a suggestion? Is your second aunt not worthy of being the chief attendant?"

Han Xinran, exasperated: "You ask if my second aunt is worthy? My elder sister is a countess marrying into the Prince Residence. Does my second aunt have imperial decrees or a reputation for virtue?"

It wasn’t that she looked down on her second aunt; it was simply that her second aunt didn’t have outstanding credentials.

If she dared to propose this today, her mother-in-law would definitely be extremely disappointed in her. No, not only her mother-in-law, she would offend the entire household.

Though the Han Family was an Earl Family, her second uncle had no titles or official position and only helped manage some domestic affairs in the residence. When people addressed her second aunt as Madam outside, it was only out of respect for the Earl Residence.

To have such a person become the chief attendant for her elder sister would not only be laughed at by the Yan Family, but by other families in Beijing as well.

Madam Han was left speechless by the question.

But Han Xinman spoke up, looking discontentedly at Han Xinran, "Second sister, how can you speak about the second aunt like that? Don’t forget, it was the second uncle who traveled all the way to Zhongzhou to inquire about the Yan Family for you, and it was he who escorted you to your wedding."

Han Xinran’s irritation peaked, "Elder sister, there’s no need for you to remind me of these things. I’ve always kept the kindness of our second uncle close to my heart."

Madam Han: "Since you remember it, why not help your second aunt?"
