The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1195 - 1018, Seven Years

This New Year in Lailiang Capital was the most delightful one Xiao Moreng had ever experienced, free from the constraints of parents and the shackles of various interests and rules. As long as it didn’t involve danger, he could play however he wanted.

Daozi followed behind Xiao Moreng’s every step, both of them thoroughly enjoying themselves each day.

During the New Year festivities, Xiao Mokuan, Xiao Mobao, and Xiao Moxu often came to play at the Prince Residence too, only Xiao Moqing was restricted at home by the old Madam An.

Upon knowing this, those who were aware could only shake their heads in speechless disapproval.

Xiao Moqing, as the son of the Crown Prince, had come to Xiliang to pay respects to the Grand Secretary on behalf of his father. It was foolish beyond measure for the An Family not to allow him to enter the gate of the Prince Residence.

After the New Year, the An Family was set to return to the capital, and of course, Xiao Moqing would be going with them.

Before leaving, the An Family at least gave face by sending Xiao Moqing over to the Prince Residence to bid farewell to Gu Jian, accompanied by their bodyguard.

"You’re returning to the capital?"

Being a child’s affairs, Daohua did not tell Daozi. Upon learning of Xiao Moqing’s impending departure, Daozi was quite surprised.

Xiao Moqing had heard plenty of disparaging remarks from Old Madam An about the Wei Prince Residence. Facing Daozi, he couldn’t help feeling some grudges, "Indeed, I’ll soon be able to leave this godforsaken Xiliang."

Daozi’s expression turned somewhat displeased, "If you dislike it here, then don’t come back in the future."

Xiao Moqing snorted, "If I don’t come, then I don’t. Who cares!" Saying this, he looked towards Xiao Moreng and the others, "Fourth Brother, do you want to return to the capital with me?"

Xiao Moreng replied, "Our Imperial Grandfather hasn’t issued a decree for us to return yet."

Xiao Moqing felt somewhat disappointed. They had come together, and now he was the only one returning, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.

Remembering that once he left Xiliang, he would no longer be able to play on the slide and such, Xiao Moqing looked towards Daozi, "I still want to play in your amusement park."

Daozi was not petty and generously agreed.

After playing until the afternoon, Xiao Moqing reluctantly started to prepare to leave.

Seeing Xiao Moqing’s lingering gaze on his amusement park, Daozi thought it over and had his servant bring over a scooter, "You like riding scooters, right? I’ll give it to you."

Xiao Moqing was surprised that Daozi would give him something as a gift and accepted the scooter somewhat astonished, "Thanks."

Daozi, in a show of generosity, waved his hand, "Don’t mention it, we’re buddies, aren’t we?"

Hearing Daozi’s words, Xiao Moqing got pushy, "Since we’re buddies, could you give me two more things?"

Daozi looked wary, "What else do you want?"

Xiao Moqing quickly said, "I also want your set of Calabash Brothers story books and building blocks."

Daozi’s head shook like a rattle, "No, no, the story book was hand-drawn by my mother, I can’t give you that."

Seeing Xiao Moqing’s evident disappointment and feeling pained, Daozi said, "How about I give you a set of building blocks instead?"

Even though he didn’t get the story books, Xiao Moqing was still happy to receive the building blocks.

After the servant brought the building blocks and placed them directly onto the carriage, which already held gifts from Daohua to Xiao Moqing, he bade farewell to everyone and left the Prince Residence.

...

Just as the An Family was setting out to return to the capital, Prince Ping also received a drawing from Daozi.

Daozi’s drawing was quite naive, featuring a starving wolf representing the An Family, a piece of fat meat representing Xiao Yeyang, and a formidable tiger chasing away the starving wolf representing Prince Ping himself.

With a mixture of guessing and deciphering, added to the letter from Xiao Yeyang, Prince Ping managed to understand his grandson’s drawing.

"Hahaha, my grandson is so clever. Not even five years old, and he already knows how to call for reinforcements from afar."

Looking at the tiger in the drawing, Prince Ping was exceedingly pleased.

It indeed had to be his own Prince Residence that was the mightiest.

"They say the eyes of a child are the clearest, and indeed they are!"

Prince Ping laughingly handed the drawing to a servant, instructing him to have it mounted immediately before picking up Xiao Yeyang’s letter again to read it.

Upon learning that Old Madam An had been so angered that her daughter-in-law suffered a miscarriage scare, Prince Ping was incensed, "This An Family, bullying others has even reached Xiao Yeyang and his wife’s heads now, do they no longer hold me in any regard?"

Immediately, Prince Ping brought a newly acquired pair of parrots to the palace to find the Emperor.

His son and daughter-in-law had been bullied, and he had to seek solace from his imperial brother.

Due to An Zhihang’s unauthorized digging into the Wei Family’s wealth in Xiliang, the Empress Dowager and the Crown Prince had been having a hard time recently. Adding to that, Prince Ping’s occasional public nitpicking only made matters worse, leaving both feeling indescribably burdened.

Prince Ping, holding no authority, acted without much concern, speaking whatever came to mind. Eventually, the Crown Prince would take detours to avoid him.

The Crown Prince even dared not show up at Grand Secretary Yang’s elderly mother’s birthday celebration.

It was no different with Prince Ping, who also attended the Yang Family’s event.

Nowadays, in any event where Prince Ping was present, the Crown Prince would deliberately avoid it, for this uncle had no qualms about scolding him in public, face be damned.

He cared about his reputation and had no choice but to steer clear.

Returning to the Crown Prince’s residence, the Crown Prince was seething with anger.

"The An Family...."

He had used the An Family to help himself, not to attract enemies from all around.

This visit to Xiliang had not only failed to obtain the desired title but also offended Uncle Prince Ping and the couple Xiao Yeyang, which gave him a splitting headache every time he thought about it.

Seeing the Crown Prince’s troubled expression, the Crown Princess asked the eunuch with him, and after learning the full story said, "Your Highness, if I may say so, you should also restrain the An Family."

As the Crown Prince remained silently unresponsive, she continued, "Yes, the Xiao Yeyang couple are not easy to deal with, but why is it that the Du and Chang families are unaffected, and only the An Family was sent back?"

The Crown Prince’s brows were tightly furrowed. The An Family belonged to his mother’s side, and there were some things he couldn’t speak too frankly about. Thinking of this, he rose restlessly to his feet: "I understand."

Watching the Crown Prince stride away, the Crown Princess sneered coldly. Although the An Family was the Crown Prince’s maternal family, she had had more than enough of them.

The matriarch of the An Family was especially detestable. Using her elder status, she repeatedly interfered in the Crown Prince’s affairs, which was utterly intolerable to her.

Why did she return so quickly?

In her opinion, it would be better for the An Family matriarch to stay in Xiliang forever, as she never wanted to see that old face again.

Unfortunately...

However, after being so disgracefully sent back this time, let’s see if she still dares to throw her weight around in the future by relying on the Empress Dowager and the Crown Prince’s power.

...

At Prince Weiyuan’s Residence.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Daozi ran over to find Xiao Yeyang early in the morning. Father and son had agreed to go out and stroll through the streets that day.

"Mom, if I see something fun, I’ll bring it back for you. If there’s something delicious, I’ll buy it for you too."

Daohua laughed, "Just enjoy yourself, mom doesn’t lack anything. After you leave home, make sure you and your fourth brother stay close to your dad, and don’t get lost."

Daozi obediently listened, not finding it annoying, because he knew that if his mother didn’t agree to let him leave the residence, he probably wouldn’t be able to go out.

After breakfast, Xiao Yeyang took Daozi and Xiao Moreng out of the residence.

It wasn’t long after their departure when Han Xinran arrived.

"Sister-in-law!"

Han Xinran saw Daohua trying to get up and quickly went forward to stop her: "You’re about to give birth, right? Your belly is so big?"

Daohua smiled and nodded, "The due date is in the middle to late February."

Han Xinran gazed at Daohua’s belly: "It’s wonderful to carry twins, but it must be so hard on you."

Daohua laughed, "To have two at once means I can be free of it afterward."

Han Xinran did not respond to that, believing instead that a woman should have several children for support. She changed the subject with a smile: "My mother and grandmother knew you were close to your due date, so they sent over quite a few things this time, and I’ve brought them to you."

Thinking of the family she hadn’t seen in many years, Daohua felt a touch of emotion: "I’ve been in Xiliang for seven years, seven years without seeing my grandparents and parents. I wonder when I’ll be able to see them again?"
