The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 892 - 773, Receiving Gifts_2

Han Xinran glanced at her eldest sister, who always managed to win the elders’ favor when at home. Sometimes, it was clearly her fault, but after she manipulated the situation, it seemed as if others were to blame.

People had already arrived, and while Han Xinran felt uncomfortable, she still led the Han sisters and Fang sisters to Old Madam Yan’s courtyard.

Before the Han sisters arrived, Yan Siyu had already come with Yang Xiujun and the Yang sisters. They were now chatting and laughing with Old Madam Yan, Madam Li, Wu Family, and the four Daohua sisters.

Seeing Han Xinman, Old Madam Yan and Madam Li were momentarily surprised. Remembering the conduct of the Han Family, the smiles on their faces faded a bit.

Indeed, one could discern others’ attitudes towards oneself through minor everyday interactions.

Han Xinman, bringing the Fang girls without so much as a greeting, clearly didn’t hold the Yan Family in regard.

If she were to treat other influential families this way, she surely wouldn’t dare.

Han Xinran immediately noticed the displeasure of the old lady and her mother-in-law and felt bitterness in her heart, compelled to step forward and explain.

Daohua, sitting aside, watched this scene unfold, saying nothing but smiling at Yang Xiujun, "I heard that cousin Xiujun has been betrothed to the Third Young Master from Taichang Temple’s household?"

Yang Xiujun nodded shyly.

Daohua then turned to Yan Yihuan with a smile, "That’s quite a coincidence, Yihuan is also betrothed. You two can get together and discuss how to embroider your wedding dresses."

Yang Xiujun immediately looked towards Yan Yihuan, "Really? Which family is cousin Yihuan betrothed to?"

Yan Yihuan shyly glanced at Daohua, too embarrassed to say.

Daohua smiled and said, "It’s the eldest legitimate son of Minister Yu of the Ministry of Revenue, already a juren even though he just came of age."

Yang Xiujun immediately congratulated Yan Yihuan with a smile. The Minister of Revenue’s position as a Fifth-rank official was certainly a good match for cousin Yihuan, whose father and brothers were still commoners.

"Do your uncle and aunt know yet?"

Daohua nodded, "Yihuan’s marriage is naturally something we’ve informed Uncle and Aunt about. Her second brother and sister-in-law have already set off for the capital, and as soon as they arrive to meet the You family, the agreement can be finalized."

Yang Xiujun smiled at Yan Yihuan, "Any family chosen by Uncle and Aunt must be good." Her own engagement to the legitimate younger son of the Fourth-rank official from Taichang Temple was also thanks to the Yan Family’s influence.

Her great uncle was a Minister of Revenue, the eldest cousin was a Hanlin scholar, and the third and fourth cousins were in the Jinling Guard. Her Cousin Yiyi was about to marry into the Imperial Family. Without such connections, she wouldn’t have secured such a favorable marriage match.

Last time in Zhongzhou, thanks to their grandmother’s favoritism, they all lived together and she had a lukewarm relationship with several cousins. Now, as they related as kin without financial entanglements and maintained a suitable distance, their relations had actually improved.

Each time she visited the Yan Residence, her cousins were quite welcoming.

Yan Yihuan nodded with a grateful expression, "I know, Uncle and Aunt have really taken a lot of trouble for my sake."

"What’s everyone talking about?"

Han Xinran smiled as she led the Han and Fang sisters over.

Daohua chuckled, "We were just saying how hot the weather is today."

Yan Yihuan and Yang Xiujun hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Han Xinran looked at Daohua, "Big Sister, could you help me receive them? I’ll go check on the kitchen."

Daohua smiled and nodded, "You’re working hard, Big Sister."

Han Xinran smiled, shook her head, and then turned to leave.

The third Miss Han laughed, "Is that so? I didn’t feel it. I just passed through the flower gallery in the courtyard, and I found it very cool there." With that, she looked towards Daohua.

"Big Sister Yan, why don’t we sit there and talk? It would be cool, and we can also enjoy the flowers. Two birds with one stone."

Daohua glanced at the third Miss Han, picked up her teacup, and blatantly ignored what she had said.

As a guest who didn’t even grasp the basic courtesy of following the host’s lead, making requests as soon as she arrived suggested why the Earl Residence of the Han Family could rapidly decline—there’s a reason for everything.

When Daohua blatantly disrespected her, the expression on the third Miss Han’s face stiffened, and the other young ladies were slightly taken aback.

Yan Yihuan, not wanting the atmosphere to become too awkward, quickly changed the subject with a smile.

Daohua didn’t dwell on it further. Still, throughout the conversation, she intentionally or unintentionally ignored the Han sisters.

From several encounters, she had gauged the character of the Han sisters. Being daughters of an Earl, they behaved arrogantly, as if they were superior, often commanding and condescending. Indulging them would only encourage them further.
