The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 957

Chapter 957: Chapter 812: Capable of Flexibility

After lunch, after seeing off the family of the fourth prince, Prince Ping, Daohua, and Xiao Yeyang took a carriage to Four Seasons Manor.

Despite the Princess Consort’s attempt to keep them, she could only watch helplessly as the carriage moved away.

The Princess Consort anxiously looked at Xiao Yechen, "Chenchen, your father’s relationship with Xiao Yeyang is getting closer and closer. This cannot continue!"

"The only thing we can rely on is your father’s favor. If his heart leans towards Xiao Yeyang, then we will have nothing to do with this Prince’s title."

Seeing Xiao Yechen’s stern face, the Princess Consort raised her voice, "Chenchen, you need to think of a solution quickly!"

Xiao Yechen, irritated by the Princess Consort’s words, spoke in a harsh tone, "Father intends to improve relations with Xiao Yeyang. What can I do?"

Upset by her son’s harsh response, the Princess Consort also became annoyed and subconsciously wanted to vent towards her daughter-in-law. However, she then realized that her daughter-in-law had not yet returned from her parental home since yesterday.

"What’s with Luo Qiong? It’s already late afternoon; why hasn’t she returned? I think it’s because I’m usually too nice to her that she’s become so spoiled."

Mentioning Luo Qiong only added to Xiao Yechen’s irritation.

From the moment he entered the Duke Residence’s gate yesterday until he left in the evening, he hadn’t seen Luo Qiong at all. When he was leaving, Luo Qiong had only sent a maid to tell him that she would stay overnight at her parental home without showing her face.

Thinking about the anger he felt at the Duke Residence yesterday, Xiao Yechen ignored the Princess Consort and left the Prince Residence with a gloomy face.

He had noticed that Xiao Yeyang was truly his nemesis. Before Xiao Yeyang returned to Beijing, everything had gone smoothly for him. But ever since that guy came back, everything had gone wrong.

He couldn’t let this continue. Otherwise, he, as the legitimate eldest son of the Prince Residence, would truly become the joke of all Beijing.

...

Four Seasons Manor.

Seeing that Daohua and Xiao Yeyang had brought Prince Ping here, Gu Jian, who was usually stoic, also wore a slight smile.

Upon seeing this, Prince Ping expressed his surprise, "Miss Yan, so your master can smile!"

Daohua smiled, "Because Prince is here, my master is exceptionally happy."

Prince Ping lifted his chin, "That’s right. As a Prince, coming here personally to pay him a visit, of course, he should be happy." Saying this, he walked towards Gu Jian with a laugh.

"Old Master Gu, Happy New Year."

Gu Jian hummed in response and handed Prince Ping a red envelope.

Prince Ping was stunned for a moment, then cheerfully accepted the red envelope, "In the past years, only the Empress Dowager and the Emperor used to give me red envelopes. This year I received an extra one."

Being a Prince of the first rank, others were not qualified enough to give him red envelopes; it could only be considered as giving gifts.

Well, this was his daughter-in-law’s master, and he was of such an advanced age. He would give in this time.

Upon seeing this, Daohua quickly smiled and moved closer, "Master, Happy New Year. Your disciple wishes you get whatever you desire and everything goes well."

Gu Jian glanced at Daohua’s hanging arm. He had heard from Dongli about the incident that occurred in the palace on New Year’s Eve. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let Caiju follow you from now on."

Daohua was waiting to receive a red envelope, but hearing this, she stiffened. A few seconds later, she hastily shook her head in refusal, "Master, Caiju needs to take care of you; I can’t accept."

Immediately, without waiting for Gu Jian to say anything further, she quickly summoned Mei Lan and Mei Ju.

"These are the servants my mother-in-law sent me; please have a look, Master."

Gu Jian sized up Mei Lan and Mei Ju, noticed they were trained in martial arts, and dropped the matter about Caiju.

Prince Ping also glanced at the two maidservants, pursed his lips, but ultimately said nothing, only pointing at Dongli, "Old master, I find this servant of yours very familiar. It feels like I’ve seen him somewhere."

Hearing this, Dongli immediately tensed up inside.

Daohua and Xiao Yeyang quickly exchanged glances.

Gu Jian calmly said, "You are a Prince, you have seen so many people, occasionally encountering one or two who look alike, what’s so strange about that?"

Prince Ping nodded in agreement, and laughed, "That’s true."

On the third day after Daohua and Xiao Yeyang moved into the manor, the old Prince Yong led Xiao Yeyi to visit again.
