The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1199 - 1022, Leaving

Daozi felt that his family no longer loved him and was very depressed: "Since you all don’t like me, then I don’t like you either, let’s see who can be tougher!"

The little guy angrily packed his bags and moved to live in Xiao Moreng’s courtyard.

To this, whether it was Daohua, Xiao Yeyang, Gu Jian, or Guo Ruomei, they all thought that Daozi got along well with Xiao Moreng and living together would allow the two children to keep each other company and play, so they all supported him with a smile.

Without anyone trying to keep him, Daozi became even more frustrated and downhearted.

After the temperature warmed up in February, Daozi began to resume his studies at the National Defense Academy with Xiao Moreng and a few others, because he was absent from home most of the time, Daohua and the others simply failed to notice the little guy’s unusual behavior.

In the evening after school, Daozi was unhappy to see his dad hadn’t come to pick him up again, and his expression turned rather sour.

Xiao Moreng noticed Daozi’s unhappiness and asked, "What’s wrong with you?"

Daozi pursed his lips: "Dad has failed to pick me up several times now."

Xiao Moreng thought about the gossip he overheard that morning from the gatekeeper, something like a coal mine collapse at Jinwei Guard, during this period Uncle Wang had been leaving early and returning late, probably dealing with this matter.

Xiao Moreng laughed: "That’s because Uncle Wang has been busy with official duties recently."

Daozi snorted, unconvinced, believing that his dad must be eager to go home to see his brother and sister, having forgotten to pick him up.

Daozi’s face showed his distress; alas, he had become a little white cabbage that nobody loved or cared for, his life was so tough!

Just then, Xiao Mobao leaned in: "Moreng, didn’t I tell you? After your dad and mom had your brother and sister, they don’t like you anymore."

Hearing this, Daozi, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, bristled and retorted angrily, "That’s nonsense, my dad, my mom, as well as my great-grandfather and grandmother, they all like me the most."

Xiao Mobao sneered: "Who are you fooling? If your dad and mom liked you the same as before, why are you unhappy?"

Daozi stiffened his neck in rebuttal: "I’m not unhappy!"

Xiao Mobao ’tsked’ dismissively: "We won’t laugh at you, what’s there to deny?" he said, patting Daozi’s shoulder like a big brother.

"We understand how you feel; we have younger brothers and sisters in our family too. Every time a half-brother is born, my father king neglects me as well."

Xiao Moxu nodded in agreement.

Xiao Moreng pulled Daozi behind him, expressing his displeasure at Xiao Mobao: "Eighth Brother, stop talking nonsense here. If Uncle Wang and Auntie hear this, be careful they won’t let you go to the Prince Residence to play."

Xiao Mobao said indifferently: "If I can’t go, then so be it. My nanny said we came to Xiliang to get close to the Assistant National Duke, and now that the title has been passed on to Moreng’s brother, we don’t need to greet him anymore."

On hearing this, Xiao Moreng’s expression darkened: "Shut up, you’re becoming more and more disrespectful. The Assistant National Duke is an elder, and it’s only natural for us to greet him. If you keep talking like this, be careful of receiving a lesson from the Second Imperial Uncle after we return to the capital."

Xiao Moreng, as the older brother, was formidable when angered, and Xiao Mobao felt a bit afraid; he didn’t linger any longer and quickly boarded the Du Family’s carriage.

Watching the Du Family’s carriage leave, Xiao Moreng then turned to look at the sulky Daozi: "Don’t listen to Eighth Brother’s words. Uncle Wang and Auntie love you the most."

Daozi said with some uncertainty: "Really?"

Xiao Moreng nodded affirmatively: "Of course." Just like his Royal Father and Royal Mother, even though they doted on his younger brother more usually, he knew that he was the eldest son whom his parents valued the most.

With Xiao Moreng’s persuasion, Daozi felt a bit better.

However, as Xiao Moreng was in a higher class and couldn’t always stay by Daozi’s side, for the following period, Xiao Mobao often whispered in Daozi’s ear about how parents don’t love the eldest after they have younger siblings, which made Daozi’s discontent grow.

...

On the twenty-sixth of April, Daohua finally ended her two-month confinement and could come out for fresh air and see people.

The temperature in Liangdu in March and April was neither cold nor hot, and although this time the confinement period was rather long, Daohua didn’t suffer too much.

The two Little Baozis had grown white and chubby. The sister cried and made a fuss often, while the brother was very calm.

"It’s said that twins have opposite characters, one active, and the other calm. I didn’t expect it to be true," Guo Ruomei said affectionately, looking at her grandchildren, "Only is it possible that their temperaments got mixed up?"

If she had her way, the sister should be the calm one, and the brother the lively one.
