The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1308

Chapter 1308: Chapter 1108: The Suppleness Around the Fingers of Little Prince Xiao (20)

Yan Residence.

Today, the Yan Residence is no longer comparable to the time when the Yan Family first entered the capital. All visitors are either aristocrats or high-ranking officials. When the Yan Family hosts the plum blossom banquet, the entrance of the Yan Residence is bustling with carriages and horses long before the event begins.

"It’s just a plum blossom banquet. Is there really a need to come so early? Even if you show up a little later, it wouldn’t matter. Yet Grandmother insisted on urging us to leave first thing in the morning."

Inside the Earl Zhaode Residence’s carriage, a Han Family young lady yawned and complained resentfully.

Madam Han shot her daughter a glance: "When you’re outside, keep your mouth shut!"

The Han Family young lady pouted and dared not speak further.

Madam Han, however, sighed deeply: "Our family’s title ends with your grandfather. Once your grandfather passes, and our residence’s plaque is removed, we will be no different than any common household."

"Your father’s official rank is not high, and the futures of your two brothers remain uncertain. If things continue like this, the decline of the Han Family is inevitable."

"Right now, the only hope for our family is relying on the Yan Family to support your two brothers, for the sake of the familial bond from our marriage alliance."

"Since we depend on them, how can we not arrive early when the Yan Family hosts an event? Even if we can’t offer any real assistance, at least we must show proper attitude."

The Han Family young lady hesitated and tentatively asked, "Mother, Second Aunt is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yan Family. Logically, our relationship with the Yan Family should be close. Why is the Yan Family so cold to us?"

On hearing this, Madam Han let out a cold laugh: "And why is that? Isn’t it all due to the good deeds of your great-grandmother and grandmother? Not only did they offend the Yan Family, but they also alienated your Second Aunt quite severely."

"When the Yan Family first entered the capital and had not yet become this prominent, your great-grandmother and grandmother used the leverage of the Earl Residence’s status to repeatedly belittle the Yan Family."

"Can you imagine how difficult it was for your Second Aunt to navigate between her husband’s family and her maternal family at the time?"

"That alone could be begrudged, but the real break in relations between the Yan Family and the Han Family was caused when your eldest aunt meddled in the betrothal of Yan Family’s Fourth Miss."

"If Yan Family’s Fourth Miss had a smooth marriage, it would’ve been fine. Instead, it ended in divorce and public disgrace."

"Between your two aunts, your grandmother favored the eldest aunt more. After all the excess meddling, your Second Aunt’s heart grew cold. Later, she left with Yan Family’s eldest son on his official duties, and hasn’t returned to the capital much in years."

"Your Second Aunt, after all, is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yan Family. If only she would speak up for the Han Family occasionally, the Yan Family would surely give us some face. But unfortunately, she evidently has no such intent."
