The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1324

Chapter 1324: Chapter 1115: The Suppleness Around the Fingers of Little Prince Xiao (27)_4

Thinking that her family might still have use for the Qian Family in the future, Madam Weng hesitated briefly but still smiled and allowed the two to enter the residence.

As soon as they stepped inside, Madam Qian exaggeratedly curtsied to Madam Weng, her attitude vastly different from the morning visit.

Even Miss Qian was overly affectionate, constantly clinging to Miss Weng the Elder and Miss Weng the Younger, calling them "sister" and "younger sister" over and over again.

Just moments ago, it was the Weng Family that depended heavily on the Qian Family, but now, the tables had turned.

Seeing the flattering and apologetic demeanor of Madam Qian and Miss Qian, the vanity of the Weng Family’s mother and daughters was deeply satisfied.

Towards the Princess Residence’s servants, Madam Weng seemed quite nervous during the reception, something Madam Qian easily noticed and tactfully helped smooth over, enlivening the atmosphere.

After some brief pleasantries, the nanny from the Princess Residence finally spoke, "Madam Weng, I wonder if Miss Ye is present? Our Princess wishes to invite her to the lantern festival on the sixth day of the new year. We are here to deliver the invitation."

At these words, everyone in the room held their breath.

Madam Weng steadied herself and smiled, saying, "That girl Yueying is currently looking after her grandmother. Please wait a moment, Nanny, I will send someone to fetch her."

As she spoke, her gaze went directly to the gilded invitation in the nanny’s hands.

The implication was clear—she wanted the nanny to hand the invitation to her.

Unfortunately, due to the previous incident where Ye Yueying didn’t attend the banquet, the nanny from the Princess Residence had no intention of handing the invitation to Madam Weng and planned to give it directly to Ye Yueying instead. Calmly, she picked up her tea and began sipping it.

Watching this, Madam Qian couldn’t help but furrow her brows.

Soon, Ye Yueying arrived.

Upon seeing her, the nanny quickly rose with much more urgency than when meeting Madam Weng and respectfully greeted her, "Your servant greets the young lady. I hope you are well."

Witnessing the contrast in treatment from the Princess Residence’s servants, Madam Qian’s heart sank. She felt a pang of regret over the previous meeting gift she had given.

Ye Yueying returned the greeting with grace, "Greetings to you, Nanny."

The nanny extended the invitation with both hands, "Our Princess specifically instructed me to personally deliver this to you. The last time you couldn’t attend the Yan Family’s event to enjoy the plum blossoms, it left quite a number of people feeling regretful. This time, let’s make sure everything goes smoothly."

Indeed, she had guessed correctly—the nanny who came earlier with New Year’s gifts had turned out to be someone from the Prince Residence!

Ye Yueying took the invitation and said, "I will definitely attend on time."

The nanny curtsied again, "The invitation has been delivered. I shall take my leave now. We look forward to welcoming you on the sixth day of the new year."

Ye Yueying nodded, only escorting the guests as far as the courtyard gates before preparing to return to the old madam’s quarters.

Seeing her about to leave, Madam Qian immediately stepped forward to block her way, "Miss Ye..."

Ye Yueying frowned and stepped back a few paces, "Madam Qian, what is the meaning of this?"

Madam Qian gave an awkward smile, "Miss Ye, you’re attending the Princess Residence’s banquet..."

Before Madam Qian could finish, Ye Yueying interrupted, "What does this have to do with Madam Qian?"

Taking note of Ye Yueying’s cold attitude, Miss Qian couldn’t hold back and stepped forward, "Why are you like this? My mother just gave you a meeting gift not long ago!"

Ye Yueying furrowed her brows, "So Miss Qian means you plan to take back the meeting gift?" Before Madam Qian and Miss Qian could respond, Ye Yueying took the pair of pearl earrings from Xue Hua’s hands.

"Well, it just so happens that I’m not particularly fond of receiving things from outsiders. If Miss Qian wants it back, then please take it." As she finished speaking, she unceremoniously placed the earrings in Miss Qian’s hands.

Holding the earrings, Miss Qian panicked, "That’s not what I meant!"

"Whatever."

Master Qian tried persuading him a few more times, but to no avail. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Master Weng, firmly holding to his authority as an elder, wouldn’t deign to lower himself before a junior.

"I refuse to believe I can’t manage a mere girl." Feeling he’d lost face before his friend, Master Weng stormed off angrily to the old madam’s quarters.

Ye Yueying, knowing her uncle and aunt wouldn’t easily give up, wasn’t surprised to see Master Weng barging into her room, his face full of rage.

Master Weng wasted no time and ordered, "Tomorrow at the Princess Residence’s banquet, you must take your two cousins and Miss Qian along."

Ye Yueying stared at her uncle indifferently, "And if I don’t?"

Master Weng’s face darkened, "If you dare refuse, don’t ever step foot in the Weng Family’s house again."

Ye Yueying stayed silent.

Seeing her silence, Master Weng raised an eyebrow, his eyes flashing with a victorious glimmer. A mere orphan—what could she possibly do?

Ye Yueying spoke slowly, "...Uncle, do you truly have not a shred of familial affection for me? Even for my mother’s sake?"

Master Weng faltered slightly, "As long as you behave and obey, my home will remain your home."

A trace of self-mockery appeared on Ye Yueying’s face, which quickly turned cold. "Uncle, I can bring my two cousins, but not Miss Qian." Seeing Master Weng about to speak, she interrupted, "Uncle, this matter is non-negotiable."

Master Weng frowned, looking at Ye Yueying’s resolute demeanor, and after some thought, reluctantly yielded—after all, the Great Grandson was yet to be met. He decided to let her be arrogant for a couple more days.

As Master Weng turned to leave, Ye Yueying spoke again, "Uncle, I am grateful that you took me in after the Ye Family’s demise. But I have repaid that gratitude."

Master Weng turned back, his frown deepening as he met Ye Yueying’s expression—detached, neither sad nor joyful. Her gaze made him deeply uncomfortable, yet he ignored it, flicked his sleeve, and left the room.

Hmph, foolish girl—her only remaining relatives in this world are our family. Does she truly think she can sever ties with us?
