The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1222 - 1042, Feeding the Unfamiliar People

After receiving the news, Han Xinran, though reluctantly, promptly bought gifts and visited the injured Sun Family and Yan Yile at the Prince Residence.

After some polite exchanges with the two, Han Xinran went to see Daohua in the main courtyard.

"What is this all about?"

Han Xinran sipped the hot milk tea, feeling her body warm up, and couldn’t help complaining to Daohua: "I used to think only that my uncle and aunt lacked empathy towards our main branch, but now I realize, they are so selfish that they don’t even consider their own daughter."

"Traveling in the heavy snow, even overturning the carriage midway, if people unaware of the situation heard this, they would talk about how unfilial the second sister is."

"Look, forcing their own biological mother to run away from home."

"Our second aunt really went beyond bounds!"

Daohua remained calm: "The uncle and aunt always act selfishly, never considering how their actions might trouble or affect others."

Han Xinran agreed, "Don’t even mention it. Yile really has mastered their traits, a perfect ten out of ten."

Daohua looked at Han Xinran: "Sister-in-law, it seems we will have to handle Yile’s matters. For now, leak some hints outside, it’s just the end of the year, a good time for me to host more banquets."

"Let’s help look around more, striving to settle this issue sooner so we can both wash our hands clean early."

Han Xinran nodded, "Given our Yan Family’s current status and social standing, there are plenty of people wanting to connect with us. It should be easy to find someone suitable for Yile."

"Men care more about power and family interests. If Yile is really wise, making good use of this, even if she gets divorced, her life won’t be too bad."

"But the current problem is, the second aunt and Yile are setting their demands too high."

Daohua thought for a moment and said, "That, neither of us should directly mention. Let the second sister talk about it when she comes."

Han Xinran nodded and sighed, "Always so many issues with the secondary branch. I thought we could have a relaxing year, seems like it’ll be busy again."

...

Yan Yihuan arrived at the Prince Residence the day after Sun Family and Yan Yile moved in, rushing over right after they had left.

Seeing an anxious Yan Yihuan, Daohua reassured: "The second aunt and Yile are fine; you shouldn’t worry too much."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yihuan visibly relaxed, picking up the teacup and drinking eagerly, downing two cups before stopping.

Her mother leaving silently with her sister had really worried and upset her.

She couldn’t believe that her mother, already a grandmother, still acted without considering the consequences.

Luckily the carriage just skidded off in the snow, luckily someone saved them. If anything had happened to them, did she want to live with guilt and regret all her life?

Thinking about her mother’s lack of consideration for her, Yan Yihuan’s eyes reddened somewhat.

During the past two months since her mother and sister went to Lanwu Prefecture, she truly understood the feelings of her sister-in-law, learning why the main branch had such reservations about the secondary branch.

Always troublesome, relying on others, continuously nitpicking, ungrateful afterwards, with endless complaints—being their own daughter and sister, she couldn’t stand it, let alone others.

Seeing Yan Yihuan’s reddened eyes, Daohua did not ask the reason nor offered consoling words. She had no interest in meddling with the internal matters of the secondary branch.

"The second aunt and Yile are staying in the guest courtyard, I’ll have someone take you to see them."

Yan Yihuan nodded and headed to the guest courtyard.

...

Seeing her mother wrapped in thick bandages on her head and her sister with bandages on her leg confined to the bed, Yan Yihuan, though still angry, couldn’t bring herself to utter reproachful words upon seeing them injured like this.

Sun Family felt slightly uneasy seeing her eldest daughter, calmed down after a while, and realized she had been impulsive; but being a mother, she couldn’t bring herself to apologize to her own daughter.

Yan Yile glanced at her second sister without greeting. With their mother present, there was no need for her to speak.

Yan Yihuan walked into the room and sat down; the three women - mother and daughters - remained silent, rendering the room unnervingly quiet.

After a while, Yan Yihuan sighed, "Elder sister just told me, she and sister-in-law will help, to find a suitable match for Yile."

Sun Family’s face lit up immediately, "Really?" As she spoke, she clapped her hands, "I knew it, when things happen, we still need to turn to Yiyi. It looks like braving the snow to come here was the right decision."

Watching her mother’s joyful demeanor, a shade of darkness flickered in Yan Yihuan’s eyes. Her mother not only dismissed her previous actions but also showed no remorse for leaving on her own.

Sun Family didn’t notice Yan Yihuan’s expression and happily said to Yan Yile, "Yiyi is the Princess Consort; with her involvement, she will definitely find someone good for you."

Yan Yile hung her head in silence, her face void of excitement; among all in the Yan Family, the last person she wanted to ask for help was her eldest sister.

As Sun Family was filled with joy, Yan Yihuan spoke again, "Mother, although elder sister and sister-in-law agreed to help, I still have a few words of caution to share in advance with you."

"Given Yile’s situation, being divorced and not young anymore, the best outcome could be to find a widower without heirs."

Seeing that Sun Family wanted to speak, she cut her off.

"We need to be realistic and not think too highly of ourselves."

"Those with good family backgrounds wouldn’t likely be unmarried in their twenties, and moreover, big families value interests the most. Such matters of sentiment, it’s best not to think too much about it."

Upon hearing this, a look of unwillingness crossed Yan Yile’s face, her eyes flickering. If her elder sister could find someone who genuinely cared for her, why couldn’t she?

She couldn’t accept it!

She truly couldn’t accept it, having always seen her elder sister receive the best since childhood. As a daughter of the Yan Family, why should she only be able to marry a widower?

How utterly unfair the heavens were!

Yan Yihuan ignored Yan Yile and fixed her gaze on Sun Family.

Sun Family felt uncomfortable under her stare: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yan Yihuan took a deep breath, "Mother, over the years, the main branch has helped our branch quite a lot. Unless it’s a matter of urgency, we should try not to trouble the main branch too much."

Sun Family said nonchalantly: "What’s there to worry about? Your father and your uncle are brothers, and besides, the matriarch is still around; how could the main branch not care for our branch?"

Yan Yihuan retorted, "Even the deepest of kinships can be exhausted, once it’s gone, who will help us when we face problems in the future?"

Sun Family did not like the accusatory tone of Yan Yihuan, impatiently replying, "Why are you saying all this? Do you think I don’t understand? Don’t worry, I am well aware of the situation. "

Yan Yihuan scoffed, "Aware? Since you’re so aware, why then did you go around using the Prince Residence’s name for your personal motives and making promises arbitrarily?"

When Sun Family realized Yan Yihuan was referring to this issue, far from feeling guilty, she even argued boldly, "Had I not used the Prince Residence’s name at that time, who would have come to our rescue?"

Saying so, she looked discontentedly at Yan Yihuan.

"Yihuan, I find that your heart has really grown cold. Your sister and I were injured in a carriage accident, without help, we might have died in the snowy wilderness."

"And here you are, standing and accusing us; how much do you wish that your sister and I had died?"

Yan Yihuan looked at Sun Family incredulously, asking agitatedly, "Mother, is this really how you see me in your heart?"

Caught off-guard by the question, Sun Family turned her head away guiltily, avoiding the hurt look in her eldest daughter’s eyes.

At this moment, Yan Yile, who hadn’t spoken up till now, finally said, "Mother, don’t blame second sister. It must have been elder sister who asked her to come question us."

"Elder sister’s methods have become more and more ruthless; she even sows discord between you and second sister...."

"Shut your mouth!"

Yan Yihuan sharply rebuked Yan Yile, then quickly glanced outside the room. Seeing no one around, she let out a sigh of relief and grimly walked over to stand in front of Yan Yile.

"Yan Yile, you really are ingratitude personified. Don’t forget where you are living right now and who took you in?"
