The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 944

Chapter 944: Chapter 803, A Slip of the Tongue

Guo Ruomei ultimately could not resist Mei Shuang’s persuasion, allowing Mei Lan and Mei Ju to bring an invitation back to Xiao Yeyang and Daohua.

"Mother wants me and my husband to attend the family dinner at the Duke Residence?" Daohua was pleasantly surprised as she received the invitation, then thought it over and realized there was nothing objectionable about it.

How could she deny the Duke Residence was Xiao Yeyang’s maternal family? As a new bride, it was proper for her to visit and recognize the relatives. Moreover, she had not yet offered tea in respect to Xiao Yeyang’s mother.

"I understand now, you may leave," she said.

After dismissing Mei Lan and Mei Ju, Daohua fell into contemplation. When Xiao Yeyang returned from outside, she handed him the invitation.

Xiao Yeyang fell silent after looking at the invitation.

Daohua asked, "Should we go?"

Xiao Yeyang counter-asked, "Do you want to go?"

Knowing that Xiao Yeyang had affection for his maternal family, Daohua smiled and replied, "We should go. Firstly, I haven’t yet offered tea to mother; secondly, isn’t Governor Guo back in the capital? As your wife, I should also visit and pay respects to my grandfather and uncles."

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang smiled, "Then let’s go."

Daohua smiled and nodded, "Good, tomorrow morning I will speak to father."

Xiao Yeyang almost blurted out that wasn’t necessary, but after hesitating, he swallowed his words and instead said, "If we are visiting grandfather’s house, we can only stay at Four Seasons Manor for two days."

Daohua replied, "I’ll explain the situation to master, he will understand. Well... after I visit my mother’s house on the second day of the New Year, we can spend more time with master. By then, I can also bring father along."

Xiao Yeyang laughed, "I’ll listen to you."

The next day, as they were going to Four Seasons Manor and needed to deliver New Year gifts to the Yan Family, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang both woke up early.

Before leaving, Daohua first took the Guo Family’s invitation to find Prince Ping.

Prince Ping had already finished breakfast and was enjoying his time with birds. Seeing Daohua, he quickly beckoned her over, "Yan girl, come see how delightful these magpies I’ve just obtained are."

Daohua walked over smiling, "Anything father fancies must be excellent, but unfortunately, Yiyi isn’t versed in birds, you’ve asked the wrong person."

Prince Ping laughed heartily, "I guessed you wouldn’t know, what brings you here?"

Daohua handed over the invitation with a smile.

An amused smile appeared on Prince Ping’s face, "An invitation for me? From which family? These days I’ve been attending so many banquets, I can hardly keep up." As he spoke, he opened the invitation to read.

Watching Prince Ping’s face suddenly turn cold, Daohua, with her head down, said, "Father, please give your daughter-in-law some advice. If you tell us to go, we will go; if not, Xiao Yeyang and I will just spend a couple more days at Four Seasons Manor with master."

Prince Ping snorted and glanced sideways at Daohua, knowing this girl was playing mind games with him. Yet, considering she came to seek his opinion in advance, he felt his dignity was intact, much more sensible than his own legitimate children.

"Go or don’t go, I hardly have time to concern myself with such trivial matters," he said, throwing the invitation back at Daohua.

Daohua looked up at Prince Ping, "Father, I haven’t yet offered tea to my mother-in-law; shall Xiao Yeyang and I... accept this invitation?"

Impatiently waving his hand, Prince Ping said, "Go wherever you like." After a pause, he seemed tired of various banquets and added, "I haven’t had my acupunctures by Master Gu in a while. In that case, later on, I will join you at Four Seasons Manor."

Daohua was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, "That would be wonderful, father. Master will be so happy to see you."

Prince Ping grimaced, "I doubt that, your master has hardly ever given me a good look. If not for his medical skills and your sake, I would have..."

Daohua interjected, "Would have what?"

Prince Ping grunted and turned, walking away with his birdcage.

He wasn’t about to speak ill of Master Gu in front of Yan girl; he was sure she would go and tattle to Master Gu if he spoke poorly of him.

Thinking about Master Gu, who never seemed to hold him in any regard, he indeed felt somewhat intimidated.

Watching Prince Ping walk away, Daohua smiled and returned to Pingxi Hall.

"Father agreed to our visit to the Duke Residence. Also, he will be joining us at Four Seasons Manor later."

Xiao Yeyang helped Daohua put on her cloak and handed her a hand warmer, then held her hand as they stepped out of the house.

Expecting to wait for Prince Ping, they were surprised to find him already seated in the coach at the front gate of the Prince Residence.

Daohua approached the coach, saying, "Father, we might need to take a detour, I haven’t yet sent the New Year gifts to my maternal home."

Prince Ping, unconcerned, responded, "Well, just take the detour."

Daohua bowed respectfully, "Thank you, father." She then turned and walked towards another coach.

Xiao Yeyang stood by the coach waiting for Daohua, helped her inside, then took his seat as well.

Half an hour later, they reached the Yan Residence.
