The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1171

Chapter 1171: Chapter 994, Good Buddies

Madam An looked at several grandsons leaving the house, with a face so ugly it was unbearable.

Important guests arrived and she did not greet them at the door, accepting the etiquette from this Princess Consort’s mother and being publicly shamed by an elder, all this she didn’t mind, but...

They specifically came to visit in order to meet Assistant National Duke, yet now they weren’t even allowed to see him; what exactly does this Yan Family woman want to do?

An Xin noticed Madam An’s displeased expression, quickly picked up the tea from the table and handed it to her: "Grandmother, the tea from the Prince Residence is really fragrant indeed."

Madam An took a deep breath, suppressed the dissatisfaction and anger in her heart, took a sip of the tea, and covered up her ashen face: "The tea, is indeed fine." It’s a pity, the people are not good!

Seeing that her grandmother had calmed down, An Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then, without changing expression, scrutinized the Princess Consort Xiao.

This Princess Consort is indeed a capable person!

When grandmother was at home, she was so prestigious, even father and several uncles dared not defy her. But today, she has been angered by Princess Consort Xiao time and again, almost losing her composure on the spot and in the end, still had to endure.

An Xin thought about the time in Beijing, when ladies from various families commented on Princess Consort Xiao; most of them thought she didn’t understand proprieties, and the comments were mostly not good, yet their tone carried some inexplicable envy.

Today, having met Princess Consort Xiao personally, she understood why others would envy her.

This Princess Consort Xiao, truly lives unrestrainedly!

Just like how she dealt with grandmother’s incident; even if grandmother, being the mother of the Princess Consort and sometimes being too domineering which caused discomfort to others, most people would still give her some face for the sake of overall situation, choosing to keep the peace.

But with Princess Consort Xiao, clearly, grandmother had hit a brick wall.

Madam Du and others already knew about Gu Jian’s reclusive nature of not liking to meet strangers, thus they didn’t react much, happily chatting with Daohua about all sorts of things.

Madam An sensed Princess Consort Xiao’s alienation from the An Family, sighed in her heart, and felt she had to somehow remedy the mistake her mother-in-law just made.

However, before she could think of a solution, the ignored Madam An spoke up on her own.

But as soon as she spoke, the room fell into a brief silence again.

"Princess Consort, speaking of which, it’s the grandsons’ first time visiting the mansion, how come I didn’t see the Crown Prince come out to meet them?"

This time, even Madam Du no longer wanted to smooth things over.

The An Family’s Madam really had her head in the clouds, constantly finding faults with Princess Consort Xiao, what good did it do her?

The Crown Prince of the Prince Residence is only four years old, even if he didn’t come out to greet the guests, who would blame a little child?

Madam An just wanted everyone to know that the Yan Family woman lacks manner, can’t even teach a child properly.

Daohua looked at Madam An indifferently: "Every morning after breakfast, Moxi accompanies my master for a stroll, the timing of everyone’s arrival is really unfortunate, just overlapping with this period."

Aren’t the grandsons here to honor their father’s teacher?

Now her Daozi is honoring the master, should she leave the master to accompany them instead?

Madam Du immediately smiled and took over the conversation: "The Crown Prince is really filial, at such a young age, he knows to accompany elders for a walk."

Daohua smiled at Madam Du then continued looking at Madam An: "Madam An, are you satisfied with this answer? My Moxi, although being the only child of the Prince Residence, is not so spoiled that he wouldn’t meet with the grandsons when they visit."

Madam An was taken aback, even Madam Du and the others were somewhat dazed.

Everyone was somewhat taken aback by Daohua’s frankness and boldness.

For people of their status, during social interactions, even if they dislike someone, they would not speak so bluntly.

Daohua ignored everyone’s reaction, continuing: "At this time, the grandsons should have already arrived at Nanshan Hall, if nothing unexpected, they should be able to meet Moxi and Moreng there."

"Madam An, would you like to send someone to check?"

Madam An was asked to the point where she couldn’t even speak.

Madam An III quickly tried to smooth things over: "Princess Consort, you’re being too harsh, the little Crown Prince is well-behaved and lovely, my mother just wanted to see the little Crown Prince."

Daohua drew out a long ’oh’, smilingly said: "It turns out I misunderstood!"

Madam An III’s face stiffened, laughing awkwardly.

Madam An also kept her head down and did not speak, after several exchanges, the Yan Family woman had unscrupulously embarrassed her, now even bringing the conversations out in the open, continuing would mean tearing each other apart.

Afterward, Madam Du and others started talking about the grandsons; they, unlike Madam An, had not forgotten the purpose of coming to the Prince Residence.

Elsewhere, Gu Jian met the grandsons.

Looking at these children, although knowing their parents had ulterior motives, Gu Jian couldn’t really say anything and kindly spoke with them for a while before letting Daozi identify them.

Under Xiao Moreng’s introduction, Daozi quickly got acquainted with the grandsons:

Xiao Moqing from the Crown Prince’s household, eight years old, ranked seventh among the grandsons;

Xiao Mobao from the second prince’s household, six years old, ranked eighth;

Xiao Moxu from the fifth prince’s household, four years old, ranked tenth;

Daozi added: "Although your voice is a bit loud, I don’t mind, we are still good brothers."

Xiao Moqing: "..."

Having already received two gifts, a grinning Daozi walked towards Xiao Mobao: "Hello, Eighth Brother!"

Xiao Mobao painfully clutched at the Jade Cabbage hanging from his body, not wanting to give it to his younger cousin.

Both the Sixth and Seventh Brothers, they’re all still kids, why were gifts necessary?

Seeing no reaction from Xiao Mobao, Daozi called out again: "Hello, Eighth Brother!"

Seeing Daozi eyeing his Jade Cabbage, Xiao Mobao pursed his lips unwillingly and handed over the Jade Cabbage.

The Jade Cabbage, exquisitely carved and vibrant green, caught Daozi’s eyes instantly, and he loved it, immediately wearing it on himself, then grabbed Xiao Mobao’s hand and gave it a firm shake: "Eighth Brother, from now on we’re good brothers."

Compared to Daozi’s cheerfulness, Xiao Mobao felt rather listless, since he had always been the one to ask others for things, and yet today, his Jade Cabbage was taken away by a younger cousin he had just met, and his heart ached!

Lastly, Daozi approached Prince Xiao Moxu.

Before he could even speak, Xiao Moxu spoke first: "Hello, Brother Dao!" then stretched out his chubby hand, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Daozi.

A complete copy of Daozi himself asking for a gift just moments ago!

Daozi: "..."

Seeing Daozi somewhat stunned, Xiao Moreng stepped forward and said, "Moxu is one month younger than you."

Daozi’s face immediately puffed up with pride, he had become the older brother, did that mean he had to give a meeting gift to his younger brother now?

But, he was really reluctant to part with his belongings!

Watching Daozi reluctantly fumbling with his stuff, Gu Jian’s eyes were filled with amusement.

While the adults all had their schemes, the children were all still good.

In the end, Daozi ran inside and brought out a set of wooden clubs and balls similar to golf items, giving them to Xiao Moxu: "These were specially made by my mother for me, now I’m giving them to you."

Xiao Moxu frowned as he took them: "But I don’t know how to play."

Daozi puffed out his chest: "No worries, isn’t your big brother here? I’ll teach you." Saying that, he began demonstrating how to play golf in the yard.
