The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 863 - 751, The Ugly Daughter-in-law Meets the In-laws_2

Chapter 863: Chapter 751, The Ugly Daughter-in-law Meets the In-laws_2

Thinking back to their first meeting, when she had mistaken him for a malicious assassin, Daohua awkwardly adjusted her temples.

"Yiyi?"

Daohua immediately looked towards Guo Ruomei, "What would you like me to do, auntie?"

Guo Ruomei smiled, "I can call you Yiyi, right?"

Daohua nodded, "Of course."

Guo Ruomei said, "I heard you fell into the river before; are you alright?"

Daohua shook her head, "Thank you for your concern, auntie, I’m quite fine."

Guo Ruomei smiled and nodded, "That’s good to hear. In the future, take more bodyguards with you when you go out. In Beijing... there are many high officials and nobles, and inevitably a few who are arrogant and domineering."

Daohua nodded again, showing she took the advice to heart.

Seeing Daohua standing obediently and neatly before her, hands folded, Guo Ruomei couldn’t help but chuckle, "Yiyi, I want to ask you for a favor."

Daohua quickly responded, "Just say the word, auntie. Not just one favor, but ten would be fine."

Chu Lang glanced at her in surprise from the side, "Since when have you become so easygoing?"

Daohua glanced at Chu Lang and ignored him.

She naturally had different attitudes towards different people.

Guo Ruomei handed a hair crown through the carriage window, "I made this myself. Today is Yangyang’s crowning ceremony, and I can’t do much for him. This hair crown... if he is willing, he should keep it."

Seeing Guo Ruomei’s expectant look, Daohua took the hair crown, "Rest assured, auntie, I will make sure it reaches Xiao Yeyang."

Guo Ruomei smiled, "Thank you."

Daohua shook her head, "You’re too kind."

Guo Ruomei glanced at the entrance of the Prince Residence, "You should go back now, so your mother and the others won’t have to wait too long."

Daohua nodded her head, curtseyed in thanks, then turned and walked towards Madam Li and Han Xinran.

Just as Daohua and the two others entered the main gate of the Prince Residence, within the main courtyard of the residence.

"Are you sure it was Guo Ruomei’s carriage?"

Princess Consort Ma stood up in shock when she heard the butler nanny’s words.

The butler nanny hastened to nod, "This old servant saw it clearly, it was indeed Princess Guo."

Princess Consort Ma glared at the butler nanny, "What Princess Guo, she’s no longer a princess consort!"

The butler nanny quickly admitted her mistake, "This old servant misspoke."

Princess Consort Ma asked again, "What did she come for?"

Butler nanny, "Princess Guo... the Guo Family gave the Countess of Shengping a hair crown, probably intended for the Little Prince to wear."

Princess Consort Ma, "She wishes!" After a pause, she instructed the butler nanny, "Go to the Hundred Flowers Garden and tell the Prince everything you saw just now."

The butler nanny beamed, "Princess Consort is wise. The Prince really dislikes the Guo Family, knowing that the Countess of Shengping is involved with them will surely enrage him."

A cold expression flickered across Princess Consort Ma’s face, "Hurry and go."

Not long after the butler nanny left, Princess Consort Ma heard the maid announce that the Yan Family had arrived. She sneered, then smilingly went to the living room.

"Greetings to the Princess Consort!"

Seeing the bowing members of the Yan Family, Princess Consort Ma sat at the highest seat, calmly sipping tea, not bothering to rise.

Everyone in the living room couldn’t help but show a look of eager anticipation for the drama to unfold.

Daohua waited a few seconds before she straightened her back and helped Lady Li and Han Xinran to their feet.

Upon seeing this, Princess Consort Ma’s teacup slammed onto the table harshly.

Daohua took a step forward and stood in front of Lady Li and Han Xinran, calmly locking eyes with Princess Consort Ma.

Luo Qiong watched the stand-off between the two women, her gaze shifting away indifferently, making no move to diffuse the tension.

The atmosphere in the living room dropped to a chilling stillness.

Princess Huijia had no desire to meddle in the affairs of Prince Residence, but when she saw the longevity lock around Daohua’s neck, her expression fluttered with surprise.

She faintly remembered that the Emperor had such a longevity lock engraved with a peach blossom.

Could it be that the Emperor was so fond of the eldest Miss of the Yan Family that he even bestowed upon her his longevity lock?

Just as Princess Huijia was about to speak up and smooth things over, unexpectedly, it was Princess Consort Ma who spoke first, "Fine, you are the one the Emperor decreed for Xiao Yeyang’s marriage. Even if you lack manners, I, the Princess Consort, can’t say anything about you."

Daohua looked at Princess Consort Ma without saying a word.

Princess Consort Ma turned to the returning nanny butler, who whispered a few words in her ear. Then, with a smile, she said to Daohua, "The Prince has just sent word that he wishes to see you. Please follow the nanny butler to him."

Knowing she couldn’t refuse a meeting with the Prince, Daohua remained silent for a moment, glanced at Lady Li and Han Xinran, and then followed the nanny butler away.

Throughout the journey, Daohua was extremely cautious. Although it was publicly announced by Princess Consort Ma that she was to meet with the Prince, most likely there wouldn’t be any tricks, yet she dared not take it lightly.

Could the Prince’s sudden summons be because Princess Consort Ma said something?

Daohua didn’t need to concern herself too much with Princess Consort Ma, but she couldn’t afford to treat the Prince the same way.

Due to her master and mother-in-law’s relationships, she was closer to the Emperor than Princess Consort Ma, so naturally, the Emperor would favor her.

But when comparing her to the Prince, without question, the Emperor would favor the Prince.

Daohua reminded herself, once she met the Prince, she must stay calm.

In no time at all, the nanny butler had brought Daohua to the Hundred Flowers Garden.

The Prince enjoyed making rouge, and not only was his estate filled with flowers and plants, but he had also established this Hundred Flowers Garden situated between the front and back courtyards.

At that moment, the Prince stood alone at the entry of the Jiao Pavilion in the Hundred Flowers Garden.

When the nanny butler had gone back and forth to report to the Prince, everyone saw that the Prince had gotten angry and knew he wanted to see his future daughter-in-law. Everyone tactfully retreated deeper into the garden, while still keeping an attentive eye on the movements around the pavilion.

With the female relatives, once Daohua had left the main compound, everyone else, under the guise of admiring the scenery, convergently moved toward the Hundred Flowers Garden.

It had long been rumored that the Prince was dissatisfied with the eldest Miss of the Yan Family marrying Xiao Yeyang. Surely, this summons was to reprimand her?

"The Prince is in the pavilion. You may go over by yourself," said the nanny.

Daohua glanced at the person in the pavilion, narrowing her eyes.

The Prince had his back to her, but why did his silhouette seem eerily familiar?

Slowly, Daohua approached the pavilion and, when she was still a few meters away, the Prince heard the sound of her approach, turned around to look, and was about to scold her for walking slowly. However, upon seeing Daohua’s face, he froze.

Xiaoyi?!?!

Daohua, too, stared blankly at the Prince inside the pavilion.

Xiaojiu!

Daohua suddenly remembered—the Xiaojiu mentioned by her master and mother-in-law was none other than the Prince before her!

What should she do?

Both the Prince and Daohua, seeing each other, had the same question in mind at that first moment.
