The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1404

Chapter 1404: Chapter 1154, Redemption 5_3

Aunt An Ran sighed when she spoke: "Back then, the master had some unpleasantness with the family and didn’t really want to go to the provincial city. But the master felt the young lady should meet her uncle and aunt."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huahan moved her lips, wanting to ask what the disagreement was between Mother and the Yan Family, that led to Mother never interacting with her maternal family after marrying into the Zhang Family.

But as the words were about to come out, Zhang Huahan dismissed the thought.

She wasn’t foolish, and reflecting on Mother’s attitude towards the Zhang Family, towards Father, and towards her, she thought, the unpleasantness must be a huge scar in Mother’s heart, one that she surely wants no one to mention.

...

Even though Aunt An Ran came to her side, Zhang Huahan still practiced etiquette and rules in her courtyard. However, she, as usual, greeted Old Lady Zhang first and then went to the Wutong Courtyard to practice etiquette and rules.

In the main room, Yan Yile sat at the window, watching Zhang Huahan focused on learning in the courtyard, her expression somewhat lost.

Towards Zhang Wan, she harbored deep hatred, so much that her hatred toward him was transferred to Zhang Huahan.

However, this was her biological daughter; each time she ignored her, her heart ached.

Looking at this small world of the Wutong Courtyard, Yan Yile’s eyes were full of regret. During her years in the Zhang Family, she tasted the bitter fruit sown by her own ignorance and willfulness.

Marrying into the Zhang Family was certainly falling for Zhang Wan’s scheme, but had she not given him the opportunity, no matter his capability, he wouldn’t have gotten close to her.

Ultimately, it was her own fault!

Yan Yile painfully closed her eyes. Over the years, she had tried not to think about these things, but she couldn’t let go.

"Miss, take a rest."

"No need, Aunt An Ran, I can hold on."

The conversation in the courtyard interrupted Yan Yile’s sorrow, she opened her eyes to look again.

Watching the stubborn and struggling figure of the girl in the courtyard, Yan Yile’s eyes twinkled, as if she saw herself in her youth.

Once upon a time, she was like this too.

Just then, a maid came in with a food box.

As the maid arranged the dishes, Yan Yile glanced at Zhang Huahan in the courtyard, her expression somewhat conflicted, but finally said: "Let the fifth young lady join me for a meal."

The maid paused in surprise before excitedly running to invite Zhang Huahan.

...

Watching Zhang Huahan’s respectful demeanor, avoiding her gaze, Yan Yile paused for a moment before continuing: "Did An Ran tell you about your aunt’s letter?"

Zhang Huahan nodded slightly: "She did."

Yan Yile replied with an ’Mm’: "Keeping An Ran by your side is firstly to continue teaching you etiquette and rules. A young lady from a grand family has her conduct nurtured from an early age."

"You’ve been learning well recently, but compared to a real daughter of a distinguished family, there’s still a significant gap. To bridge this gap, you need someone around you to often guide and correct you."

"Secondly, it’s to help you manage the servants in your courtyard."

"For a young lady, whether at her maternal home or after marrying, she must have confidants. Otherwise, if anything happens, she won’t even have someone to run errands for her."

"You need to pay more attention to the people in your courtyard. Loyalty is the first criterion, then their usefulness. If they cause trouble for the master and are useless, dismiss them upon discovery. Don’t feel hesitant; if you show mercy to them, you’ll have to bear the consequences of their mistakes."

Zhang Huahan listened attentively: "Daughter will remember Mother’s teachings."

Yan Yile paused in silence: "The Yan Family is of high status, interacting with dignitaries and nobles; not just you, even the maids around you must be poised and graceful."

"During this period, learn more from An Ran, so when you visit your uncle’s house, you’ll have more confidence."
