Chapter 140 Family Letter
"Master, Madam, a letter from the Second Master!"
In the dining room, everyone in the Yan family was having dinner when Sun Guanjia walked in quickly with a letter.
Yan Zhigao looked dissatisfied: "Everyone is eating now. If you have anything to say, we can talk after dinner."
Mrs. Li put down her bowl and chopsticks. "Wen Kai has never written a letter home. This is strange. Come on, give me the letter. Is there something wrong?"
Sun Guanjia immediately leaned forward and handed the letter to Madam Li, then said, "If it was someone else's letter, I wouldn't dare disturb the master and his wife while they were eating, but this letter was delivered by the guards around the young prince."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Yan family was stunned.
Yan Zhigao quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and looked at Mrs. Li.
If it were usual, Mrs. Li would naturally take the initiative to hand the letter to Yan Zhigao, but this time, she simply ignored it.
My daughter is still living on the farm!
When Yan Zhigao saw that Madam Li did not give him the letter, he moved his lips, but when he thought of what happened a few days ago, he didn't dare to speak.
Yan Zhiyuan glanced at Yan Zhigao, then smiled and said to Madam Li, "Sister-in-law, what did Wen Kai write home about?"
Mrs. Li looked up at him, then lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Seeing that Mrs. Li, who was always considerate, ignored him, Yan Zhiyuan looked a little embarrassed.
He knew that his previous suggestion to punish Daohua and beat her with a stick had greatly offended his sister-in-law, so he looked at Yan Zhigao helplessly, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
Sun wanted to speak, but since the head of the family had been rejected by her eldest sister-in-law, she didn't say much.
As for Yan Zhiqiang and Wu, they didn't even think about speaking. They just looked at Mrs. Li, waiting for her to tell them the contents of the letter.
When Yan Zhigao saw that the corners of his wife's mouth were getting more and more upturned, he knew that the content of the letter was not a bad thing, so he felt relieved and was no longer anxious.
After reading the letter, Mrs. Li saw that everyone was staring at her and no one had any intention of reading it, so she handed the letter to Yan Zhigao.
When the letter reached Yan Zhigao, he read it quickly.
Compared to the smile on Mrs. Li's face, Yan Zhigao's expression looked a little strange, which made Yan Zhiyuan and others even more curious.
Yan Zhiyuan: "Brother, what exactly is written in the letter?"
Yan Zhigao glanced at Madam Li and said uncomfortably, "Wen Kai said that the young prince asked him to explain to us that his leaving the Zhou family that day had nothing to do with Daohua. He also said that he scared Daohua and asked Daohua to apologize."
Well.
At this moment, the most embarrassed person in the Yan family was Yan Zhiyuan.
That day, he was the one who shouted the loudest about punishing Daohua.
Sun saw his embarrassment and immediately spoke up to smooth things over: "It's good that you didn't offend the young prince. This way our family still has someone to rely on."
"Bang!"
Madam Li suddenly placed her chopsticks heavily on the table and looked at Sun with a forced smile: "Depend on? Second brother's wife, tell me, why should the young prince rely on us?"
Sun didn't expect that Madam Li would attack her. She was always sharp-tongued, but for a moment she didn't know how to respond.
Madam Li glanced at everyone at the dinner table calmly: "Can our family bring benefits to the young prince, or can we do anything to help him?"
"Stop talking about relying on each other all the time, lest outsiders hear us and say we have no sense of proportion."
The incident at Old Master Zhou’s birthday was too unfriendly to his daughter’s reputation. Even if the Zhou family and the young prince have come forward to explain, can they still clarify the matter with others one by one?
Madam Li didn't bother to care about other people's expressions. She just wanted to let these people in the family know that the reason why the young prince was close to the Yan family was entirely because of her daughter, and they had no right to blame her daughter.
"I'm done eating, you guys take your time!"
Looking at Madam Li walking away, Yan Zhiyuan opened his mouth, then looked at Yan Zhigao, whose expression was also not very good: "Brother, my sister-in-law is angry with me."
Yan Zhigao glanced at him, picked up his chopsticks, flipped through the dishes in front of him, and then put them down again: "Don't worry about it, your sister-in-law is just worried about her daughter. Everything will be fine when mother and Daohua return from the farm."
Danlin Village.
As Daohua brought Wang Man'er out of the greenhouse and the flower house, she saw the mansion's carriage parked in front of the farm gate. Her face immediately fell.
"Miss, someone is coming to the mansion. I'm afraid we have to go back!" Wang Man'er was also a little depressed.
The old lady and the girl were not very particular about rules. As long as they did not play too much in the farm, they were much more relaxed than when they were in the mansion.
Daohua sighed, "I thought we'd have to stay here until at least the twelfth lunar month before we had to go back. We've only been here for less than ten days, and the good times are already over."
When Daohua brought Wang Maner back to the house, she found that it was Butler Sun who came in person this time.
When the old lady saw Daohua coming back, she immediately called her over and handed her the hand warmer: "Warm your hands quickly, don't catch a cold."
Daohua took the hand warmer with a smile: "Grandma, I just went to the flower room and greenhouse, it's not very cold."
The old lady smiled and asked, "Are the flowers in the greenhouse still withered?" If the flowers withered, her granddaughter's flower shop would have to close.
The rice flower smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, old man, the flowers are in full bloom!"
The old lady asked again: "Where are the vegetables in the greenhouse?"
When she was building the greenhouse, she was actually not very optimistic about it. Although Xingzhou City is the lowest in the north, it is still the north after all. The winter is too cold and many vegetables cannot be grown.
I didn’t expect that my granddaughter could grow a lot of vegetables after building the greenhouse.
"It's fine, it's fine, grandma, don't worry, you will definitely have enough vegetables in winter." Daohua nodded repeatedly.
On the side, Butler Sun sat silently. Although he was anxious, he didn't dare to interrupt casually, let alone urge.
Needless to say, the old lady, the ancestor of the Yan family, even the adults have to be respectful;
As for the eldest daughter, he did not dare to displease her at all. You know, she was the one who even dared to contradict the master.
After talking to Daohua for a while, the old lady handed the letter on the table to Daohua.
"Letter? Whose letter is it?" Daohua took the letter curiously, opened it quickly, and after reading it, she snorted coldly.
The old lady picked up the letter her granddaughter had left beside her, folded it carefully, and put it in the envelope. She said slowly, "Pack up and get ready to go home!"
Daohua moved her lips, somewhat reluctantly.
Seeing this, the old lady waved her hand and let Sun Guanjia go. After the people left, she said, "Your father has already sent someone to pick you up. What else do you want? Do you want him to come and apologize to you in person?"
As he spoke, he nodded to Daohua's head: "As a person, you should know when to quit while you are ahead. Don't let it end up in a situation where everyone is embarrassed."
Hearing this, Daohua was very depressed.
She was clearly wronged in this matter, but just because she was the younger generation, she was let off so easily.
She also knew that even in modern times, fathers rarely apologized to their children, let alone in ancient times when we live in today's patriarchal society.
