The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 891 - 773, Receiving Gifts

The Emperor no longer wished to tolerate the Jiang Family, which caused quite a stir among the officials in the court. The faction led by the Jiang Family also grew tumultuous.

Originally, Jiang Jinghui wanted to redeem himself through hosting the Xiliao Delegation, hoping to reinstate his duties, but he was impeached by officials from other factions due to the loss of horses brought by the Xiliao delegation at the Xijiao Posthouse.

This, in turn, forced Jiang Jinghui to be suspended from office once again.

On the first day of August, it was Daohua’s birthday.

This was to be Daohua’s last birthday at home. Madam Li had originally planned a grand celebration, but considering that Jiang Wanying had just been hastily married off and wanting to avoid provoking the Empress Dowager and the Jiang Family further, she decided to keep the celebration limited to family members only.

"Mother,"

The day before Daohua’s birthday, Han Xinran brought an invitation from the Han Family to find Madam Li.

Madam Li had been very busy recently. Next month, Wentao was to be married, and the month after, Wanke was to be married. In December, her daughter was to be married as well, keeping her continuously busy.

"What is it?" Madam Li asked without looking up from the list of gifts.

Han Xinran said, "Mother, isn’t tomorrow eldest sister’s birthday? My sister from my parental home would like to come and offer her congratulations. They have sent an invitation; would you like to accept it?"

Madam Li’s gaze shifted from the gift list as she glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law, thinking, ’Finally, she’s not acting on her own.’: "We are all relatives. If your parental home is willing, how can we refuse?"

Having her daughter spend her last birthday at home would be good for her to bond more with her relatives from her mother’s side.

Han Xinran noted the pleased look on Madam Li’s face and felt slightly relieved, finally understanding how she should interact with her mother-in-law in the future: "Then, daughter-in-law will go and respond to the invitation."

After leaving the main courtyard, Han Xinran slowly walked along the road, watching the busy preparations of the two courtyards, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

Initially, she was the only daughter-in-law in the family and did not feel much, but now with the third and fourth sisters-in-law about to enter the family, she began to feel the pressure.

Especially the fourth sister-in-law, whose family background and personality were not inferior to hers, was also the daughter-in-law of the main branch, inevitably leading to comparisons between the two in the future.

The fourth sister-in-law was close to the eldest sister-in-law, having grown up under the watchful eyes of the Yan Family’s elders, naturally gaining more favor from the family elders than she did. Additionally, her inability to handle the relationship with her parental home well during this trip to Beijing had displeased her mother-in-law, intensifying her sense of crisis.

She grew up in the Earl Residence and knew too well that living under one roof, conflicts and strife were inevitable. Whomever the elders favored would lead a more comfortable life.

Regaining her focus, Han Xinran first returned to her own courtyard to respond to the invitation, then personally went to the kitchen to ensure all the necessary ingredients for the next day were fully stocked.

...

Early on the first day of August, Han Xinman brought the Han Family sisters and two girls from the Fang Family to the Yan Family. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

When Han Xinran came to receive them, she frowned slightly upon seeing her elder sister and the Fang Family sisters she brought with her: "Big sister, why didn’t you tell us in advance that you were coming?"

Han Xinman affectionately looped her arm through Han Xinran’s and asked with a smile, "Wouldn’t you welcome me?"

Han Xinran looked at her: "If I brought the Yan Family girls to Earl Residence without telling you, would you welcome us?"

Han Xinman paused for a moment, looking at her younger sister in surprise, noting that she seemed more assertive now that she had her in-laws.

"Alright, alright, it’s my fault, I was being lazy. Thinking that the family had already sent the invitation and time was pressing, I didn’t inform you. Are you really going to be mad at your big sister for this?"

Han Xinran was silent: "Big sister, the little sisters might not understand, but both of us are someone else’s daughter-in-laws. We can be casual at home, but in our respective in-laws’ homes, we should still observe the proper courtesies, don’t you think?"

Han Xinman felt unpleasant as Han Xinran pressed on. Was such a small matter worth this fuss?

Now in Beijing, any slightly well-informed family knew that the Yan Family had fatally offended the Jiang Family. She really didn’t understand why her little sister was acting so high and mighty.

If it hadn’t been for their father’s personal intervention, she would not have bothered bringing the two sisters from the Earl Residence to visit the Yan Family.

"My dear little sister, this time it was my oversight. Could you forgive me just this once? It’s my first time entering your in-laws’ house, are you really going to stop me at the door and not let me in?"
