The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1313

Chapter 1313: Chapter 1109: The Suppleness Around the Fingers of Little Prince Xiao (21)_3

Madam Weng initially wanted to refuse, but upon hearing those words, she hesitated and glanced at Ye Yueying. Her heart stirred, and she smiled as she agreed, "Then I’ll trouble the two young gentlemen."

Ye Yueying looked at Madam Weng in surprise, clearly not expecting her to agree.

Madam Weng patted Ye Yueying’s hand and led her onto the carriage.

...

Inside the carriage, Madam Weng held the hand warmer and smiled at Ye Yueying, "Did that young gentleman Xiao prepare this?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Ye Yueying didn’t dare to meet Madam Weng’s eyes, focusing instead on the hand warmer in her hands as she nodded lightly.

Madam Weng smiled, "That young gentleman Xiao truly has an excellent appearance—imposing, handsome, courteous and gracious in his demeanor. It’s clear he’s from a good family."

Ye Yueying appeared somewhat wistful, "Indeed, his family is quite good." Perhaps too good.

Madam Weng quickly asked, "Which family does he belong to?"

Ye Yueying looked at Madam Weng, then lowered her gaze, "He’s the Little Prince Xiao. I met him last time when I returned to Liaodong to pay respects to the Ye Family ancestors."

Uh...

Madam Weng’s smile froze on her face.

Though one’s own child is always valued, one must also understand reality. Yingying and the Little Prince Xiao... there’s far too great a disparity. If the Ye Family were still around, perhaps there might have been some slight possibility. But now, the Ye Family is gone!

Madam Weng’s joy faded entirely, and for the remainder of the journey, she didn’t feel like speaking at all.

Ye Yueying also stayed silent, so grandmother and granddaughter both rode in heavy silence, the carriage unnaturally quiet.

Before long, they arrived at the temporary Weng Family residence.

Ye Yueying assisted Madam Weng off the carriage, where Xiao Moxi and Wu Yutang were already waiting at the door.

Madam Weng smiled and once again expressed her gratitude to the two young gentlemen. Initially, she had intended to invite them inside for tea, but after learning of their identities, she could no longer bring herself to extend the invitation.

Noticing Madam Weng’s lack of intention to invite them inside, Xiao Moxi smiled and handed Ye Yueying a few branches of plum blossoms, "I noticed you seem fond of admiring plum blossoms, so I shamelessly requested some from the abbot."

Ye Yueying accepted the plum blossoms, her feelings complicated, "Thank you." He even takes note of such trivial matters?

Watching the interaction between the two, Madam Weng felt a stir in her heart but, reminded of the disparity between them, could only speak with resignation, "My humble abode is nothing special, so I won’t ask the two gentlemen to come in and sit."

Xiao Moxi gave an awkward smile, "It’s getting late; we should head home as well." With that, he attempted to take his leave with Wu Yutang.

At that moment, Xue Hua spoke up, holding an umbrella, "About this umbrella?"

Xiao Moxi paused in his steps and chuckled, "From the front gate to the courtyard must be a fair distance. Madam and Miss Ye might still need it, so let’s leave the umbrella for now. I’ll come back to retrieve it next time."

Uh...

Ye Yueying and Madam Weng were both a bit baffled by his words, unsure of how to respond.

Xiao Moxi paused, then thought for a moment before looking at Wu Yutang, "You’ve had more experience with matters of the heart..."

Wu Yutang interrupted him irritably, "What do you mean I’ve had more experience with matters of the heart?" He raised his head smugly, "It’s not my fault my parents blessed me with such dashing good looks. Since I attract the ladies, what can I do? It’s completely beyond my control."

Xiao Moxi rolled his eyes silently, choosing not to bicker with him.

Wu Yutang noted Xiao Moxi’s lovestruck expression and snorted, "I figure you’re probably quite smitten with Miss Ye."

"If you like her, just go directly to propose marriage! Your father and mother don’t interfere with you, and the old Prince can’t stop you. Even if Miss Ye’s family background is lacking, it doesn’t matter. Why go through all this trouble?"

Xiao Moxi looked at Wu Yutang, "I’ve already told you—you just don’t understand."

Wu Yutang bristled, "What don’t I understand?"

Xiao Moxi explained, "Miss Ye faced immense hardship when she was young, losing her family and living under others’ roofs. During my time in Liaodong, I noticed she keeps her heart tightly guarded. If I can’t help her open up to me, what’s the point of marrying her and bringing her home?"

Wu Yutang scratched the back of his head, "I don’t quite get your perspective."

Xiao Moxi smiled faintly. Most marriages were results of parental arrangements and matchmaking. Such unions rarely involved true affection, and the feelings cultivated afterward often revolved around pragmatism and familial bonds.

Having witnessed firsthand the deep love between his parents, Xiao Moxi couldn’t help but aspire to find a spouse with whom he could share genuine intimacy and mutual understanding.

"Marriage is a lifetime’s commitment. One must ensure the other person’s feelings are clear."
