The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 923 - 791, All Blessed People

With the wedding day drawing near, Daohua, who had remained indifferent, also began to feel nervous.

The thought of leaving the Yan Family to marry into a new family left Daohua somewhat frightened and uneasy.

Madam Li, seeing her daughter finally showing signs of a bride-to-be, couldn’t help but chortle, "I thought that girl wouldn’t be nervous. Just listen to what she used to say—getting married is just changing the place where you eat and sleep. Look how simple and relaxed her words were. And now, when it comes down to it, she’s not so composed after all."

Ping Xiao and Ping Tong both covered their mouths, giggling secretly.

In mid-November, Gu Jian had twenty loads of items sent over to the Yan Residence from Dongli as Daohua’s wedding dowry.

Madam Li felt a mix of happiness and headache upon seeing the items sent by Gu Jian.

She had inquired before; when Luo Qiong married into the Prince Residence, her dowry was one hundred and twenty loads, and she had prepared her daughter’s dowry by that standard.

Now that the old master Gu had added another twenty loads, the number of dowry loads had exceeded the standard.

"We need to reorganize Yiyi’s dowry, making sure each load is packed solidly."

...

"Second sister, I heard that the Yan Family prepared a dowry of one hundred and twenty loads for the Countess of Shengping, is it true?"

On November 20th, Madam Han, along with Han Xinman, came to add to Daohua’s dowry. After meeting with the old Madam Yan and Madam Li, they went to Han Xinran’s courtyard.

Han Xinran nodded, without going into detail.

Madam Han exclaimed, "I truly didn’t expect your in-laws to have amassed such wealth. The Countess of Shengping’s dowry is almost equal to that of a noble’s daughter."

Han Xinran didn’t want to discuss Daohua’s dowry further and smilingly shifted the conversation.

Madam Han: "By the way, has the bride’s chief attendant been decided for the Countess of Shengping’s wedding?"

Han Xinran: "My mother-in-law is handling that, I’m not too certain."

Madam Han looked at Han Xinran with disapproval, "Child, how can you be so indifferent about such matters? You should ask around; if it’s not settled, you would be able to help your mother-in-law with her worries."

Han Xinran didn’t budge, simply saying, "If my mother-in-law needs my help, she will ask for it."

Han Xinman, observing Han Xinran’s displeasure, spoke earnestly, "Second sister, you can’t be so nonchalant. As daughter-in-laws, we should be proactive and look for things to do, not passively wait for our mothers-in-law to give instructions."

Madam Han continued, "Your elder sister is right. You’ve always been like this since you were young. Without someone pushing you, you tend to be lazy. Now that you’re married, you can no longer afford to be as indolent and negligent as you were at home."

Han Xinran was extremely repulsed by her mother and elder sister’s constant preaching, and her impatience grew increasingly evident on her face.

Han Xinman noticed Han Xinran’s displeasure and glanced at Madam Han, signaling for her to stop talking.

Madam Han was somewhat dissatisfied, but remembering the instructions from the old Madam Han before they left, she refrained from saying more. Instead, she spoke of the purpose of their visit today:

"The bride’s chief attendant is not so easy to find, and the Yan Family has only recently come to Beijing and doesn’t have many close friends. Your second aunt is a good person; her parents are still alive, she has both sons and daughters, and she has a good relationship with your second uncle. Mention it to your mother-in-law, and have her become the chief attendant."

Upon hearing this, Han Xinran’s expression darkened instantly, and she stood up sharply, "Mother, how can you even suggest such a thing? Do you not wish for me to have a good life in my in-laws’ house?"

Madam Han’s face also hardened, "Why shouldn’t I make such a suggestion? Is your second aunt not worthy of being the chief attendant?"

Han Xinran, exasperated: "You ask if my second aunt is worthy? My elder sister is a countess marrying into the Prince Residence. Does my second aunt have imperial decrees or a reputation for virtue?"

It wasn’t that she looked down on her second aunt; it was simply that her second aunt didn’t have outstanding credentials.

If she dared to propose this today, her mother-in-law would definitely be extremely disappointed in her. No, not only her mother-in-law, she would offend the entire household.

Though the Han Family was an Earl Family, her second uncle had no titles or official position and only helped manage some domestic affairs in the residence. When people addressed her second aunt as Madam outside, it was only out of respect for the Earl Residence.

To have such a person become the chief attendant for her elder sister would not only be laughed at by the Yan Family, but by other families in Beijing as well.

Madam Han was left speechless by the question.

But Han Xinman spoke up, looking discontentedly at Han Xinran, "Second sister, how can you speak about the second aunt like that? Don’t forget, it was the second uncle who traveled all the way to Zhongzhou to inquire about the Yan Family for you, and it was he who escorted you to your wedding."

Han Xinran’s irritation peaked, "Elder sister, there’s no need for you to remind me of these things. I’ve always kept the kindness of our second uncle close to my heart."

Madam Han: "Since you remember it, why not help your second aunt?"

Han Xinran no longer wanted to talk, scoffing, "Is making her the chief attendant helping her?"

Han Xinman: "Of course! You know that our third and fourth sisters are discussing marriage prospects. If the second aunt could become the Countess of Shengping’s chief attendant, how prestigious would that be? Wouldn’t it make the suitors break down the Earl Residence’s door?"

As the Full Prosperity Host, one represents good fortune.

In Beijing, serving as a Full Prosperity Host is a prestigious matter, especially when it involves the imperial family and nobility.

Watching her mother and elder sister assume it was their right, Han Xinran took a deep breath and issued an eviction order, "Mother, elder sister, I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t keep you here for a meal."

Upon hearing this, Madam Han and Han Xinman were taken aback.

Han Xinman looked at the cold expression on Han Xinran’s face and scoffed, "What, now that younger sister has found a husband’s family, she starts to disdain her mother and I?"

Han Xinran, who hadn’t intended to speak plainly, felt a surge of anger at these words and looked at Han Xinman, "Elder sister, what would you do if I went to your husband’s home and started directing things?"

Han Xinman’s eyes flickered, "How would I... How have mother and I been directing things at you? We are all doing it for your own good."

"For my good?" Han Xinran burst out laughing, "Elder sister, I am not a fool. Are you just upset because I am having a smoother time at my husband’s home than you, and thus you want to stir up some trouble for me?"

"You..."

Han Xinman stared at Han Xinran in a daze, unable to believe that her true feelings had been seen through.

Han Xinran said, "Elder sister, please keep your kindness to yourself, I don’t need it." With that, she called for the nanny who had accompanied her during her marriage.

"Nanny, please see my mother and elder sister out." After speaking, she quickly left the room.

Watching their younger daughter walk away with long strides and then glancing at her eldest daughter whose eyes were reddening with anger, Madam Han opened her mouth but ultimately did not call out to stop them.

She truly hadn’t expected her eldest daughter to harbor such thoughts!

...

Meanwhile, in Old Madam Yan’s room, Madam Li also gave a cold reception to Old Madam Yang, "Old Madam, I’ve already found someone to be my daughter’s Full Prosperity Host, so there’s no need for you to bother."

Old Madam Yang was stunned, "Who? Someone better suited than my daughter-in-law?"

Madam Li was amused by the outrage.

Some people just lack self-awareness and are incredibly greedy.

For her sister-in-law’s sake, she had kept quiet about the Yang Family basking in the Yan Family’s glory, but this constant attempt to take advantage felt loathsome to her.

Yan Siyu, seeing the disdain and mockery in her sister-in-law’s eyes, felt utterly ashamed, "Sister-in-law, my mother-in-law was just joking with you." Before she left home, her mother-in-law hadn’t even hinted at suggesting herself; she must have been sure that her own family wouldn’t let her lose face.

Unfortunately, when it came to Yiyi, her mother and sister-in-law would not budge an inch.

Old Madam Yang, knowing her family relied on the Yan Family and sensing the dissatisfaction of Old Madam Yan and Madam Li, immediately diverted the conversation following what Yan Siyu had said.

...

"One must never choose the wrong family for their children’s marriage, or else you’ll never get rid of them."

That evening, Madam Li went to Daohua Pavilion and vented about the Han and Yang families suggesting their relatives as Full Prosperity Hosts, "Thankfully your elder sister wasn’t confused this time."

Seeing her mother all huffy, Daohua smiled, "That’s because grandmother and sister-in-law were just resolute in their display. If it were me... hmph!"

Madam Li looked at her daughter’s fierce demeanor and burst out laughing, "In the past, I thought you were too stubborn, but now I realize it’s better for a girl to be tough to avoid being bullied."

Daohua nodded in agreement, "Mother, whom did you choose to be the Full Prosperity Host?"

Madam Li responded with a smile, "Madam Yang."

Daohua paused, "Which Madam Yang?"

Madam Li replied, "Who else could it be but the Grand Secretary’s wife?"

Daohua was surprised, "How did you manage to invite her?"

Madam Li fell silent for a moment, "Your future mother-in-law helped with the invitation."

Daohua abruptly exclaimed in realization.

Madam Li continued, "It must be because Yeyang knows our family in Beijing doesn’t have many connections, so he had your future mother-in-law help out."

Daohua thought otherwise; it must have been the future mother-in-law who offered to help on her own initiative.
