The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1261

Chapter 1261: Chapter 1070, Faceless

"Mom, didn’t you say Uncle was here?"

Daohua walked into the main courtyard with a smile. As she entered the room, she saw Madam Li tidying up some items: "The quality of this coral is excellent. Did Uncle bring it again?"

Madam Li chuckled and set the item in her hand down, pulling Daohua to sit beside her on the couch: "Of course. Every time your two uncles visit the capital, they always bring us lots of gifts. I’ve told them not to, but they never listen."

Daohua smiled: "It’s their goodwill. Since they’re offering, just accept them and send back something nice as a gesture in return."

Madam Li nodded with a smile: "That’s the only way. By the way, did you need something from your Uncle?"

Daohua shook her head: "There were too many people earlier, I haven’t had the chance to speak with Uncle yet. I just thought I’d come to pay my respects."

Madam Li laughed: "Your Fourth Brother dragged him away. That Fourth Brother of yours, already a father of four children, still acts as loud and boisterous as he did when he was a kid. He has little restraint."

Daohua chuckled: "Isn’t he home now? No matter how old he gets, in the family, he’s still just a child to his parents."

Madam Li loved hearing this, and her face lit up with a cheerful grin as she started discussing family matters with Daohua.

"These past years, things have been going well for both our family and the Li Family. I cannot express how happy I am. Oh, by the way, last time your Second Uncle came to the capital, he asked me to thank you on his behalf."

"Hmm?" Daohua looked puzzled: "Thank me? For what?"

Madam Li smiled knowingly: "The Feng Family has been very subdued lately."

Hearing this, Daohua immediately understood.

Two years ago, Feng Liangji had brought his concubine along to Xiliang for business. When she discovered that he was allowing the concubine to act openly under the pretense of being the legitimate wife, Daohua revoked Feng Liangji’s qualification to conduct business in Xiliang.

In addition, she sent a letter to Yan Wenkai, who was stationed with the South Sea navy, informing him of the situation.

Xiliang was only a new market after all. The Feng Family hadn’t put much effort into it yet, so losing the ability to do business there was hardly a significant blow.

However, the southern market was a different story—it was a region the Feng Family had painstakingly established and their main source of profit.

The southern market relied heavily on waterways, and the Feng Family’s success there was largely due to the protection Yan Wenkai provided as a naval vice-commander.

After receiving Daohua’s letter and learning about Feng Liangji’s ungrateful behavior—taking advantage of the Li Family’s support while mistreating its daughter—Yan Wenkai immediately withdrew the privileges he had granted to the Feng Family.

With numerous checkpoints along the water routes, losing their preferential treatment meant the Feng Family’s expenses for bribes and tolls at each checkpoint would increase severalfold.

Madam Li continued: "Now your Sister Zixuan leads a much more peaceful life. That concubine surnamed Sun has already been sent off to the estate."

She sighed as she spoke.

"Your two uncles didn’t want to trouble us. Otherwise, if they had told us earlier that the Feng Family was so insolent, Zixuan wouldn’t have had to endure those years of suffering."

At this moment, Ping Tong came in with tea and snacks. After putting them down, she smiled and said, "Just now, I saw Second Madam at the courtyard gate. Upon hearing that Madam and the young lady were chatting, she walked away."

"Second Sister-in-law?" Daohua smiled faintly, "Mom, this time when I came back, I noticed Second Sister-in-law seems to be deliberately avoiding me. Does she blame me for something?"

Madam Li shook her head: "Qiyun is a good person. She’s not blaming you; she probably feels embarrassed. Just thinking about what Yan Yile did in Xiliang still makes me ashamed."
