Although the matter with Feng Liangji was displeasing to Daohua, it did not affect her enthusiasm for shopping. This time it was just her and Xiao Yeyang out and about. Upon returning, the three little ones would surely make a fuss, inevitably needing some gifts to calm them down.
Xiao Yeyang followed behind, watching Daohua excitedly browsing and trying out different items, which involuntarily brought up memories of their time in Zhongzhou.
Back then, Yiyi was as radiant as the summer sun, shining brightly wherever she went, always smiling joyously. That carefree, bright smile made it hard for one to look away.
Since marrying him, however, she had acquired many more worries. In Beijing, she had to deal with all sorts of relations, and since moving to Xiliang, where conditions were poor, and now having three children to look after, it had been a long time since he had seen her smile with ease.
"From now on, let’s take a trip every year, just the two of us."
Daohua was picking out Western Regions masks for the children when she suddenly heard Xiao Yeyang say this, surprised, yet she had no objections to traveling: "Sure, as long as you have time, I’m completely fine with it."
Having browsed every shop owned by the Western Regions traders, Xiao Yeyang and Daohua were ready to head back home.
Before leaving, Xiao Yeyang called over Ma Teng and gave him several instructions: "From now on, unless I have personally notified otherwise, no matter who it is, if they claim to represent the Prince Residence, you should pay them no heed, nor should you grant any favors."
Ma Teng quickly agreed. Having followed the Prince and Princess Consort all day, he naturally sensed their displeasure towards the owner of Fangji Silk and Satin Shop, Feng Liangji.
"I have taken note of that."
...
After returning to the Prince Residence, Daohua did not write directly to Li Chenzhi, but first invited Yan Wenxiu over to discuss the matter.
Yan Wenxiu, upon hearing the details, was also very angry.
Two uncles had helped the Yan Family a lot in their early years, and his two cousins had even lived in their house for a while as children, as close as sisters; so now, being treated so rudely by Feng Liangji, he felt like hitting someone.
"We should consult with Chenzhi about this. Neither you nor I are very familiar with the Feng Family’s situation, and it would be difficult for Cousin Zixuan if we intervened rashly."
Daohua nodded in agreement: "That’s what I thought too. With my temper, I’d love to drive Feng Liangji away, but I worry that he might vent his frustration on Sister Zixuan and her children, which would make me feel like I’m doing wrong by trying to do right."
