The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1322

Chapter 1322: Chapter 1115, The Suppleness of Little Prince Xiao’s Fingers (Twenty-Seven)_2

Luckily, the Weng Family has no connections in Beijing. Even if the son causes trouble, it wouldn’t stir up much of a commotion.

Young Master Weng immediately apologized to Madam Weng, who waved her hand indifferently.

At this moment, Madam Weng spoke up: "Mother, where are the year-end gifts from the Yan Family?"

Madam Weng glanced at her and instructed the maid to bring out the food: "Take it and divide it. I’ve been busy all afternoon, and I need rest now."

Madam Weng saw there was only this small amount of goods and immediately asked: "The Yan Family’s year-end gifts are just a bit of food?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Madam Weng ignored her, leaning her head to rest with her eyes closed.

Madam Weng still wanted to inquire further but was stopped by Young Master Weng.

"Mother, let’s not disturb Grandmother’s rest anymore."

Since her eldest son had spoken, Madam Weng had no choice but to take the items and leave the room, though her heart was filled with dissatisfaction.

Outside the door, Madam Weng immediately said: "The Yan Family is the maiden family of Princess Consort Wei Yuan. How could their year-end gifts possibly be so paltry? Clearly, your grandmother handed the good things over to Yueying. This won’t do; I must go get it back from her."

Young Master Weng quickly stopped her, rubbing his temple as he asked: "Mother, why does the Yan Family send year-end gifts to our family?"

Madam Weng was momentarily speechless: Why indeed? It was all because of Ye Yueying.

Young Master Weng continued: "The fact that our family can even associate with the Yan Family is thanks to Cousin. Hence, if Grandmother gave the year-end gifts to Cousin, it is only reasonable. Mother, please don’t stir up trouble."

Not bringing Cousin along to the Qian Family today had already been a major mistake. Now, they absolutely must not antagonize her further.

Second Miss Weng disliked seeing Young Master Weng defending Ye Yueying and pouted: "Brother, the Yan Family simply sent year-end gifts; I think we shouldn’t take it too seriously to avoid being disappointed later."

Young Master Weng was silent. Indeed, these past few days were the peak of gatherings among families. If the Yan Family truly valued Cousin, why hadn’t they extended an invitation for them to visit?

Second Miss Weng saw her words were effective and continued: "The Ye Family is already gone; what can Ye Yueying alone accomplish? Perhaps the Yan Family’s invitation last time, and the year-end gifts this time, are just for show, aiming to gain a favorable reputation among others."

Ye Yueying gave a faint smile and said nothing. However, Xue Hua, standing nearby, piped up: "Indeed, generous—Eldest Miss and Second Miss each received pearl necklaces!"

A single necklace uses far more pearls than a pair of earrings. Madam Weng’s face darkened instantly upon hearing this.

Ye Yueying quickly comforted her: "Grandmother, please don’t be upset. I’m merely a destitute orphan staying with the Weng Family, so it’s only natural for Mrs. Qian to handle things this way."

Madam Weng shook her head and sighed: "It’s just a bit of jewelry. I wouldn’t get upset over something so insignificant. What angers me is your aunt and uncle’s lack of discernment!"

"After all, she is an official’s wife. A piece of jewelry for a young lady costs next to nothing, yet she insists on making distinctions. This shows that Mrs. Qian is someone who carefully weighs interests and gains, never letting others take advantage in the slightest."

"I was pleased when your uncle made friends with them, but now, I’m beginning to think the Qian Family isn’t worth befriending."

Ye Yueying thought back to Mrs. Qian’s scrutinizing gaze when sizing her up and Miss Qian’s seemingly innocent chatter that was actually filled with probing remarks. She found herself thoroughly agreeing with Grandmother’s assessment.

However, her aunt and two cousins weren’t ones to take things lightly either. Who would truly suffer in the end remained uncertain.
