Chapter 297,
Provincial Government Pier.
The Li family members are saying goodbye to the Yan brothers and sisters.
Li Xingchang said to Yan Wenxiu, "Your father has just taken up his post at Ningmen Mansion. He is very busy right now. We won't bother him. We'll go and congratulate him after you've finished packing."
On the other side, Mrs. Fan, Mrs. Jiang, and sisters Li Zixuan and Li Zixin were also holding rice flowers and saying goodbye.
"I don't know when we'll see each other again after this trip."
Seeing Li Zixin's reluctant look, Daohua immediately comforted her: "It won't be too long. When cousin Zixuan gets married, I will definitely come over with a thick skin."
As she spoke, she smiled and teased Li Zixuan, "This cousin Zixuan has to stay at home to embroider her wedding dress, but you, cousin Zixin, don't have to. Once I have cleaned up the yard, you can come to Ningmen Mansion to play with me."
Li Zixin nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"
Mrs. Fan glanced at her daughter with a smile: "What's good about that? You're not afraid of disturbing your aunt and uncle."
Daohua smiled and said, "Cousin Zixin is staying with me, so there's no way she'll disturb Father and Mother. Aunt, just relax."
Seeing Daohua being close to her daughter, Mrs. Fan looked relieved.
If she wasn't worried about the Yan family's opinions, she would also like her daughter to stay at the Yan family for a longer time. Not to mention anything else, just learning more rules and etiquette would benefit her daughter for the rest of her life.
Last year, Zixuan and Zixin went to live in the Yan family for a few months. When they came back, they were visibly more stable and reserved.
The upbringing of this scholarly family is better than that of their merchant family.
At this moment, Li Zixin cried out in surprise, pulled Daohua's sleeve and shook it, and whispered to her in a low voice: "The young prince and others are coming."
Daohua turned around and saw Xiao Yeyang, Dong Yuanxuan and others walking towards her.
"Aunt, Auntie, I'm going to get on board first. I'll come back to bother you later."
Mrs. Fan said with a smile, "You little girl, why bother with all those polite words? What are you bothering me with? Whenever you miss your uncle and aunt, just come."
Daohua smiled and nodded, knelt down and bowed to the two of them, then took Wang Maner and Guyu onto the boat.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang, who was about ten meters away, said: "."
Dong Yuanxuan and Zhou Chengye looked at each other with a smirk.
This time, the young prince has really pissed off Sister Yan.
When Li Xingchang and others saw Xiao Yeyang and others, they immediately came forward to greet them with a smile.
Looking at the little prince's stern face, Yan Wenxiu felt a little headache. He turned his head to look at the cabin. Wow, even the windows were closed. How much does the elder sister dislike the little prince?
Xiao Yeyang stared at the cabin and took several deep breaths, but still couldn't suppress the irritation in his heart.
When we were flying the kite yesterday, it was that Daohua guy who pissed him off with his nonsense, okay?
Now that he has taken the initiative to negotiate peace, this guy still dares to give him the cold shoulder!
Do you really think he won't be angry?
snort!
The more Xiao Yeyang thought about it, the angrier he became. He wanted to rush onto the boat to find Daohua and have an argument, but as soon as he took a step forward, he took it back.
It's not his fault, so he doesn't want to indulge that guy, otherwise she will take him less and less seriously in the future.
Thinking of this, he flicked his sleeves, without saying goodbye to anyone else, and strode away with Defu.
Seeing this, the Li family members looked at each other in confusion.
Yan Wenxiu was worried that his uncle and aunt were worried, so he forced a smile on his face: "It's okay, the little prince and big sister are just joking."
With Dong Yuanxuan and the others around, Li Xingchang didn't say much. He smiled and nodded, "It's getting late. You should get on your way."
After saying goodbye to Dong Yuanxuan and others, Yan Wenxiu boarded the boat.
In the cabin, Wang Man'er had been paying attention to the situation on the shore. Seeing Xiao Yeyang leave with a flick of his sleeves, she immediately turned around and said to Daohua, "Miss, the young prince left in anger."
Daohua snorted, "Just leave if you want to. Who cares if he comes to say goodbye?"
Seeing their daughter fiddling with the teacup and making it bang, Wang Maner and Guyu looked at each other helplessly.
Soon, the boat started slowly.
Watching the boat going farther and farther away, the Li family prepared to return home, and Dong Yuanxuan and others also prepared to leave. After saying goodbye, both sides went their separate ways.
After getting on the carriage, Li Zixin whispered to Li Zixuan, "I didn't expect that Miss Zhou was right. Just now, looking at the young prince's face, it seemed that he was very angry with cousin Yiyi."
Fan asked, "What happened? Did Daohua offend the young prince?"
Li Zixin shook her head: "It's not my cousin who offended the young prince, it's the young prince who offended my cousin."
Li Zixuan thought for a moment and then expressed her concerns: "Aunt, Mother, is the young prince too kind to my cousin?"
Fan and Jiang looked at each other.
After a moment's silence, Fan said, "Don't talk nonsense to your cousin. I took a closer look at that girl. She was only focused on having fun and making money. She hadn't even thought about that."
"If you say this to her out of the blue, it might as well be nothing, but it'll make her think about it. People are most afraid of things getting on their minds. Once they get on someone's mind, they can't let it go even if they want to."
Li Zixuan quickly said, "I won't say anything nonsense." Then she looked at Li Zixin again.
Li Zixin also nodded: "I won't tell you either, but isn't it great that the young prince treats cousin Yiyi well?"
Seeing her daughter's bewildered look, Mrs. Fan smiled and shook her head. "Daohua is a girl who is not bound by rules. Your aunt and uncle will definitely not let her down when it comes to marriage. She is only twelve years old this year, and she still has three years to go before she reaches the age of marriage."
After leaving the provincial government pier, Daohua walked out of the cabin and looked at the scenery on both sides of the river with little interest.
At this time, Yan Wenxiu came over.
Seeing her eldest brother, Daohua knew what he was going to say without having to guess, and immediately said, "Brother, please don't criticize me. It was Xiao Yeyang who gave me the cold shoulder first."
He paused and raised his voice a few notches.
"Besides, this is the second time he's given me the cold shoulder in front of everyone. Does he really think I don't have a temper?"
Yan Wenxiu complained in his heart.
Of course you have a temper, and a very big one at that.
Yan Wenxiu sighed, "Yes, the young prince has a bad temper, but he came specially to see us off today, and you just walked away without saying a word. That's very rude."
Daohua: "Well, I learned that from him, too. Why can he give me a cold shoulder when he's not satisfied, but I can't?"
Yan Wenxiu was exhausted: "Didn't the young prince apologize to you on his own initiative?"
Daohua: "I have to accept his apology? Just because he is of noble status, I have to indulge him? What logic is there!"
Now, Yan Wenxiu had nothing to say.
Seeing his elder brother frustrated, Yan Wenkai was overjoyed. He walked out with his head held high and gave Yan Wenxiu a look that said, "Big sister, the young prince really needs a lesson. One time is fine, but how can I embarrass you again and again?"
Daohua nodded: "That's right!"
Yan Wenkai: "But, as the saints said, admitting one's mistakes is the best way to improve. Why don't you give the young prince another chance? You can't just stop associating with him because of this little thing, right?"
Daohua glared, "What do you mean by a small matter? This is a big deal, and a matter of principle. Xiao Yeyang always gives me the cold shoulder and walks away, which shows that he has never truly respected me, nor has he cared about my feelings or the situation I might encounter."
"Last time at Old Master Zhou's birthday party, he walked away in a huff. How many rumors and gossips did I suffer?"
"This time, luckily there are so many people at the Flower God Temple, otherwise, I would have become the laughing stock of the entire provincial government."
"What do you think we should do with such a friend?"
Yan Wenkai was stunned by the question and turned to look at Yan Wenxiu.
Yan Wenxiu shrugged.
The more Rice Flower spoke, the angrier she became: "If we don't want to keep in touch, then we don't. In this world, no one can live without anyone else!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a ship's horn coming from behind.
Daohua lay on the boat railing, stretched her neck to look back, and saw a cruise ship chasing them. The person standing on the top deck was none other than Xiao Yeyang.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang chasing after her, the anger in Daohua's heart burst out like a floodgate opened, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
