The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1173 - 996, Target
Chapter 1173: Chapter 996, Target
Prince Residence of Wei Yuan.
"Mom, why can’t the almighty big brother defeat the demon?"
In the east wing of the main courtyard, Daohua was sitting by the bed, telling the story of the Calabash Brothers to Daozi.
Hearing her son’s question, Daohua asked back: "What do you think?"
Daozi furrowed his brows and thought for a moment: "Because the demon played tricks, turning the Copper Coin as big as a mountain, too heavy for the big brother to lift."
Daohua nodded with a smile: "Daozi spoke well. Let’s think of it this way, imagine the demon as some officials, and these officials keep bringing silver to your dad. If your dad accepts all without refusal, guess, what would happen to your dad?"
Daozi opened his eyes wide: "Dad would be crushed by the silver."
Daohua laughed and patted her son’s back: "That’s why, one must learn to resist temptation, and control their desires and greed. A gentleman loves wealth but in an honorable way, one must not resort to unscrupulous methods to collect wealth, otherwise, they will be buried by silver in the end."
Daozi nodded his head, half-understanding.
Daohua smiled and covered Daozi with a thin blanket: "Alright, that’s the end of tonight’s story, time to sleep."
Daozi grabbed Daohua’s hand, not letting go: "Mom, wait until I fall asleep before you leave."
Daohua: "Okay, Mom will watch over you as you sleep."
"Mom, good night." Daozi smiled and closed his eyes.
Ever since there was a little brother or sister in Mom’s belly, she tends to sleep more, so Dad discussed and asked him to move to the wing room to live.
Initially, he was unwilling, but to avoid disturbing Mom’s rest, he reluctantly agreed.
Fortunately, Mom still comes to tell him stories every night and lulls him to sleep, which comforts his young heart a bit.
Mom still loves him the most!
Daozi thought joyfully, occasionally opening his eyes to see if Daohua was still there. Once assured that Daohua was consistently by his side, he felt at ease and soon drifted off into a pleasant dream with a smile.
Seeing her son asleep, Daohua lowered her head to kiss his cheek, then stood up and returned to the main room.
As soon as she entered, she saw Xiao Yeyang leisurely handling the ornaments in the room, his face relieved of stress.
Seeing his good mood, Daohua smiled and asked: "What’s making you so happy?"
Seeing Daohua return, Xiao Yeyang quickly came forward to help her sit down: "Did our son fall asleep?"
Daohua smiled and nodded her head.
Xiao Yeyang handed over the milk he had just brought from the kitchen: "You know, you shouldn’t spoil Daozi too much, he’s a boy, he doesn’t need you to go over to soothe him to sleep every night."
Daohua took a sip of milk: "It’s because he has just started sleeping separately from us, children need a lot of security, as parents, we naturally have to spend more time with them."
While talking, she paused and put down the milk.
"Children only stick to their parents for a few years, when they grow up, even if you want them to be close, they might not be willing."
Xiao Yeyang widened his eyes: "He wouldn’t dare!"
Daohua glanced at him: "Do you go close to your mother now? Do you go close to your father, the king?"
Xiao Yeyang: "...My situation is different."
Daohua: "That’s why, we need to give them enough love and companionship when our children need us. Without fostering affection from a young age, don’t blame the children for not being close to us when they grow up."
Xiao Yeyang touched his nose, thinking she made a good point, and found himself at a loss for words.
Never able to win an argument with his wife, sigh...
Xiao Yeyang again offered the milk to Daohua: "Drink it quickly, before it gets cold."
Daohua, sipping on cow’s milk, asked, "Why are you so happy today?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "Didn’t I previously enlist the leader of Wuhu Village to wipe out other bandits? The results have been quite good; most of the major bandit threats in Xiliang have been nearly eradicated."
Daohua also smiled: "For Xiliang to develop, these bandit problems must be eradicated. Using bandits to fight bandits is indeed a good strategy, after all, only bandits truly understand bandits."
Xiao Yeyang looked relaxed: "Exactly, most bandits are desperate fugitives, and their hideouts are easy to defend but hard to attack. If the Imperial Court were to clear them out, the losses would definitely be substantial."
Letting bandits attack other bandits, even if there were casualties, he would not be distressed.
If Wuhu Village can complete the task, then they can become good citizens in the future, and he is also willing to give them a chance to live.
Otherwise, just because they had harmed his uncle, they would deserve death.
Xiao Yeyang noticed that Daohua had finished her milk and asked, "Speaking of which, didn’t the An family and the Du family come over today with the Imperial Grandson to meet us? How did it go?"
Upon mentioning this, Daohua’s expression turned sour, she scoffed and shared the details of the meeting: "That elderly Madam An was particularly ridiculous, acting arrogant due to her age, completely senseless."
"The Crown Prince hasn’t even become the Crown Prince yet, and the An family is already so arrogant. Who do they think they are?"
Hearing Daohua’s displeasure towards the An family, Xiao Yeyang directly said, "Since you don’t like the An family, you can just decline their visiting cards in the future."
Daohua: "...It’s not good to cause too much of a scene overtly. The An family isn’t the issue, but they are backed by the Empress and the Crown Prince."
Xiao Yeyang chuckled: "Often, those who jump the highest don’t end up with good results, the Jiang Family is the best example."
Daohua nodded in agreement: "Don’t look at how popular the Crown Prince appears now; in the struggle for succession, it’s better to keep things concealed. The Crown Prince may look imposing, but he seems like a target."
This made Xiao Yeyang chuckle, but indeed, nothing she said was wrong.
From the information he gathered, the Crown Prince’s activity is also driven by the Emperor Uncle.
If the Emperor Uncle truly favored the Crown Prince, he would mold him and test him, but not make him a target, like bait."
Unfortunately, nobody in the An family has realized this, and they are instead overly pleased with themselves, offending people everywhere.
Truly, when heaven wants someone to perish, it first makes them mad!
"Enough, let’s not worry about these messy issues. Aren’t you sleepy?"
Daohua yawned just in time: "I was already sleepy."
...
The next day, each family sent people to deliver Xiao Moqing and others to the Prince Residence.
As for the newly acquainted friends, Daozi was in the fresh stage; after having breakfast, she eagerly waited for Xiao Moreng at the amusement park.
In the first few days, the children were all harmonious, but as they became more familiar over time, conflicts started appearing.
Over a scooter, Daozi and Xiao Moqing got into a fight.
Xiao Moreng and Xiao Mokuan, seeing this, hurriedly tried to break it up.
Even so, both Daozi and Xiao Moqing ended up with marks on their faces.
Then the issue was brought before Daohua.
In the main courtyard.
Daozi stood in the courtyard, glaring furiously at Xiao Moqing.
Xiao Moqing, on the other hand, was chin-up, standing on the scooter, looking provocatively at Daozi, resembling a victorious rooster.
Xiao Moreng and others stood by the side, not daring to make a sound.
Daohua, sitting under the eaves with a nonchalant expression, slowly sipped her Blood Swallow Porridge, paying no heed to the ’undercurrent’ in the courtyard.
