The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1131 - 954, Bad Temper

Yan Wenxiu and others had just left the Prince Residence after dinner. After sending them off, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang took Daozi to visit Gu Jian at Nanshan Hall and Guo Ruomei at Chunhui Courtyard to pay their respects.

Old Master Gu didn’t enjoy socializing, and Guo Ruomei felt that, since she had dissolved her marriage with the Imperial Prince, living at her son’s place went against tradition and would attract unnecessary gossip. Therefore, neither of them had met with Yan Wenxiu and the others.

After paying their respects and returning, Daozi had already started yawning.

Daohua quickly washed and cleaned her son, then gently placed him on the bed: "Keep an eye on our child, I’m going to bathe."

Xiao Yeyang ’hmm’ed in response, sitting by the bed, tenderly looking at his son sprawled and sound asleep on the bed, occasionally pinching his little hands and feet.

After a while, seeing Daohua come out in a flimsy nightgown, Xiao Yeyang’s eyes immediately became heated as he said hoarsely, "The room next door has been prepared. From now on, we can have the nanny sleep with the child there."

Having the child around, he had no opportunity to be intimate with Yiyi. freēwēbnovel.com

Daohua noticed Xiao Yeyang’s expression and gave him a glance: "The child definitely won’t agree."

Xiao Yeyang: "How can you know it won’t work if you don’t try? Let’s start tonight, have the child sleep in the room next door tonight."

Daohua hesitated slightly: "Why not wait until the child is a bit older before moving him to the next room?"

Xiao Yeyang didn’t want to go without any longer, decisively said: "Tonight, it’s perfect—the little guy has fallen asleep, I’ll carry him over right now."

As he said this, he carefully picked up the sleeping child.

Daozi, being picked up, seemed a bit uncomfortable, murmuring ’mmh’ twice, even frowning slightly.

Seeing this, Daohua hurriedly instructed, "Be gentle with him."

Xiao Yeyang also worried about waking his son. The little one had quite a temper and would undoubtedly cry up a storm if awakened.

Successfully moving the child onto the bed in the next room, Xiao Yeyang finally relaxed and told the wet nurse Fangniang and the two maids standing by, "Take good care of the Little Prince, and inform myself and the Princess Consort immediately if anything happens."

Fangniang quickly nodded in agreement.

Xiao Yeyang returned to his room, smiled at Daohua: "Wait for me." Having said that, he quickly went to the Clean Room to wash up.

That night, the two of them only went to sleep in the late hours.

Xiao Yeyang was uncontrollable after having abstained for too long; whereas Daohua felt somewhat guilty, her attention had been mostly given to the child since his birth, inevitably neglecting Xiao Yeyang, and she intended to make up for it.

Thus, without realizing it, it became deep into the night.

The next morning, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang were woken up by a tremendous wailing cry.

Upon hearing the crying, Xiao Yeyang rolled over and sat up immediately, while Daohua was a beat slower but also swiftly sat up.

"It’s Daozi crying!"

Xiao Yeyang, wearing a robe, strode quickly towards the next room.

At that moment, in the bed of the next room, Daozi was crying his eyes out, his face all red and ears steaming. Fangniang attempted to hold him, but the little one was hitting and kicking, vehemently refusing to let Fangniang hold him, causing her and the maids to be drenched in sweat from the anxiety.

Once Xiao Yeyang arrived, Daozi immediately called out loudly, "Daddy~"

Xiao Yeyang quickly went over to pick up his son. He knew his son’s temper well, thus he didn’t blame Fangniang and the others, and while comforting his son, he returned to the room.

As soon as Daohua got dressed, Xiao Yeyang came back holding their son.

"Mommy!"

Daozi immediately reached out his hands wanting to be held upon seeing Daohua.

Seeing the tear stains on her son’s face, Daohua felt extremely pained and quickly took Daozi in her arms, walking slowly around the room while softly comforting him: "Daozi, what’s wrong?"

Daozi’s crying became softer once he was in Daohua’s arms, sobbing with his head resting on her shoulder.

"I want Mommy~"

"I want Daddy~"

Xiao Yeyang, listening to his son’s tearful voice, felt a great sense of self-reproach.

Daohua continued to soothe her son: "Daddy and Mommy will always be with Daozi. Last night, we simply had Daozi sleep in a different place, but Mommy and Daddy were always there."

Daozi rubbed his cheek against Daohua’s shoulder, clinging tightly to the hem of her clothes with both hands, his milky voice mixed with sobs: "Don’t want, together."

This was the first time their son had spoken four words in a row, which genuinely surprised Daohua for a moment. She quickly nodded and agreed: "Okay, okay, together, we will sleep together."

Only then did Daozi stop crying.

Xiao Yeyang, who was nearby, breathed a sigh of relief, took Daozi in his arms, and wiped away the tears on his son’s face, his expression troubled as he said: "Why are you so stubborn? As a young man, you should be able to sleep on your own. Mom and Dad took you to the west wing; it was for your good, do you understand?"

Daozi looked at Xiao Yeyang with a tilted head, his expression puzzled, and his eyes, after recent tears, were even clearer and brighter, which made Xiao Yeyang unable to continue to coax his son any further.

Daohua brought over some warm boiled water to feed her son: "I think in the future, we should still let our son sleep with us until he’s a bit older before moving to the west wing."

Xiao Yeyang had no choice but to agree as he looked at his son, whose eyes were somewhat swollen after crying and who looked pitiful.

During breakfast, Gu Jian and Guo Ruomei both sent people to ask why Daozi had been crying so early in the morning.

Xiao Yeyang dismissed the people who had come and pinched his son’s little nose: "You little troublemaker, you cry and the whole Prince Residence is disturbed."

Daozi thought Xiao Yeyang was playing with him and revealed his big front teeth, giggling happily.

Xiao Yeyang was speechless, picked up his porridge, and started drinking. When breakfast was nearly finished, he said: "The Wei Family’s confiscated property has all been turned over to the state. I just had it sorted out."

"In a while, we will put up for sale some of their manors and lands. Weren’t you planning to acquire some land? I think the Wei Family’s lands are pretty good. Find a time to have Yan Shouhou take a look."

As Daohua fed her son, she asked: "The Wei Family’s assets are quite substantial, aren’t they?"

Xiao Yeyang snorted: "Substantial? Xiliang is so impoverished, and aside from geographical reasons, the Wei Family is another major affliction."

"I won’t mention the others, but just around Liangdu, the Wei Family owns two-thirds of the prime farmland; even the headquarters’ pasture has become the Wei Family’s private property."

Talking about these things fired up Xiao Yeyang’s temper significantly.

"By the way, I’m going to reallocate some of the grain harvest we collected this year."

Daohua showed a puzzled look: "What for? There is no war, and the guard unit should be able to sustain the Border Army, right?"

Xiao Yeyang sighed: "In the conflict with Xiliao, many soldiers were killed or injured, and many of them were the breadwinners of their families. The Imperial Court provides some consolation money, but it’s far from enough to support a family."

"I’ve set aside a portion of the land acquired from the Wei Family specifically to shelter homeless disabled soldiers and the families of those who’ve lost their breadwinners."

"The land is allocated, but it’s too late to plant crops for this year. I’ll need to provide a batch of grain first to help them, or otherwise, they won’t survive the coming winter."

After hearing the reason, Daohua immediately nodded in agreement: "Alright, do we need to have Xiaoliu send over more grain?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled and shook his head: "No need for that; the grain produced from those five barren mountain terraced fields you developed in the Gan State Guard is more than enough."
