The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1175 - 998, Indispensable Contribution

Daozi and Xiao Moqing’s fight over the scooter was satisfactorily resolved at the Prince Residence, and the two reconciled, thus putting the matter behind them.

However, the An Family did not see it that way, and everyone was filled with anger and dissatisfaction upon seeing Xiao Moqing returning with a swollen and reddened face.

"How exactly does the Yan Family woman teach her children? At such a young age, he’s so ruthless; just look at what he did to our little Prince!" Madam An tenderly applied a boiled egg to Xiao Moqing’s face as a compress.

Xiao Moqing felt rather embarrassed upon hearing this; after all, Daozi was younger than him by four years, and being beaten up by a younger sibling was quite shameful, wasn’t it?

Nevertheless, seeing Madam An so concerned about him, he felt quite pleased and smiled, saying, "Madam, do not worry, I also hit Daozi back, and his mouth even bled."

Madam An snorted coldly, "He deserved it, after all, you are the son of the Crown Prince, your status is many times more distinguished than that son of the Yan Family woman. If you took a liking to his belongings, that was honoring him, and yet he dared to lay a hand on you, you should have..."

"Cough, cough~"

An Xin suddenly coughed violently, interrupting Madam An.

Madam An looked displeased at her daughter-in-law, "What’s wrong with you? Did you catch a cold? If you are ill, stay away from the little Prince, don’t pass the sickness to him."

An Xin took a deep breath, barely managed a smile, "Mother, I’m fine, I just choked on my tea."

Saying this, she smiled at Xiao Moqing.

"I see the little Prince has sweated profusely; the bath water is ready, would you like to go bathe now?"

Xiao Moqing also felt sticky and uncomfortable, and immediately nodded, "Yes, I want to bathe."

After sending Xiao Moqing away, An Xin finally relaxed completely – she had really been worried that her mother-in-law would say something inappropriate.

Although the little Prince was already eight years old, he was still a child. A child’s words can be loose. If he were to repeat a statement heard to the people at Prince Wei’s Residence, it could mean serious trouble for the An Family.

In Beijing, with the Presence of Princess Consort and the Crown Prince, perhaps they need not worry too much about Prince Wei, but her husband was still stationed in Xiliang.

And Prince Wei, being the highest official in Xiliang, could easily trouble her husband.

This mother-in-law, spoiled herself, without considering their predicaments at all!

An Xin listened as Madam An continued to fault Princess Consort without stop, feeling exhausted; she quickly found an excuse to leave.

"Humph!"

Madam An coldly watched An Xin leave: "Spineless."

An Xin, who overheard, stepped forward smiling and tried to mediate, "The third aunt is also worried about the third uncle facing repercussions from Prince Wei."

Madam An’s expression did not improve, "That third aunt of yours is weak herself, and she thinks I’m senile."

Thinking of how the third aunt had been caring for her after arriving in Lailiang Capital, An Xin paused, then defended, "My third aunt isn’t very familiar with the situations in Beijing, hence she is cautious."

Madam An: "The nature of your third aunt won’t change in this lifetime, I can’t be bothered to scold her anymore." Saying this, she looked at her graciously standing granddaughter and nodded with satisfaction.

"How’s your painting skill progressing?"

An Xin smiled, "Your granddaughter practices diligently every day."

Madam An nodded and said no more.

...

The families of the other Princes also heard about the fight between Daozi and Xiao Moqing.

Madam Du smiled and sent Xiao Mobao down to rest, then she said to Mr. Du, "Princess Consort is quite good at handling children. She didn’t favor either side, and in the end, she even got both children to make up willingly."

Mr. Du nodded, "One should not underestimate Princess Consort; despite being a woman, she accomplishes things not inferior to men. I’ve heard that this year’s autumn harvest will introduce a new crop called sweet potato from Daoxiang Village, with a yield not less than that of potatoes."

"Potatoes, corn, along with sweet potatoes, with these high-yield crops, the people of Xiliang won’t be starving in the future."

"Moreover, with the propagation of high-yield cotton and the emergence of woolen clothes and trousers, the dressing issue of Xiliang’s people is resolved."

"Princess Consort has indeed played an indelible role in the development of Xiliang!"

Seeing her husband praise another woman so highly made Madam Du feel a bit jealous, yet she was quite impressed with Princess Consort herself.

Official Du suddenly said, "I heard that they have started looking for a wife for the third child back at home?"

Madam Du nodded and smiled, "Mother asked the Noble Consort for help in this matter."

Official Du thought for a moment, "In marrying, a matching social status is very important, but in the end, it comes down to the person’s character. Take Prince Weiyuan and Princess Consort Xiao, for example. Initially, many were skeptical, but now, Prince Weiyuan’s achievements couldn’t have been reached without Princess Consort Xiao’s contributions."

"Later on, write a letter back to tell Mother that if there is a remarkable lady, even if her family status is a bit lower, we can accept her."

Madam Du did not object, "Alright, I’ll listen to you, my lord, and write the letter later."

...

Prince Weiyuan Residence.

Xiao Yeyang looked at his son’s bruised lips with a bit of heartache, but he did not show it, thinking that it’s normal for boys to get into scuffles.

Daozi felt uneasy, fearing that his father would punish him like his mother would.

Xiao Yeyang: "...What do you think about today’s fight?"

Daozi: "..."

Seeing his son’s puzzled face, Xiao Yeyang patiently asked, "Your lips are swollen from the fight, don’t you have any thoughts about it?"

Daozi touched his lips, winced in pain, and looked pitifully at Xiao Yeyang, begging for comfort, "Dad, it hurts."

Xiao Yeyang remained unresponsive, lazily watching his son.

Daozi, feeling embarrassed, pouted, "I couldn’t beat my seventh brother."

Xiao Yeyang: "So?"

Daozi: "It’s because I’m still young. When I grow up, I’ll be able to win."

Xiao Yeyang: "The last time you were taken to Wuhu Village, did those people not capture you because you were young?"

Daozi shook his head.

Xiao Yeyang: "Being young is not an excuse. Your weakness is the real issue."

Daozi thought for a moment: "Then I will work hard and train in martial arts with Grandpa Chu."

Xiao Yeyang smiled and nodded, "Son, remember that a man’s life is all about competing with others. At home, you have to compete with your parents and siblings. Only when you are strong enough can you fight for more say for yourself."

Hearing this, Daozi’s eyes shifted, "I know this. Like now, I’m weak, so I must listen to my parents, otherwise I’ll be punished and can’t resist."

Xiao Yeyang: "..."

Had they ever really punished this rascal? How did he think of that so quickly?

Well, he isn’t wrong.

Xiao Yeyang continued: "When you grow up and leave home, you will start competing with people outside. People outside are not like your family who will tolerate you. If you are too weak, they will be like wolves in the mountains, ready to devour you."

Daozi trembled, "Why would they want to eat me?"

Xiao Yeyang: "Because they are hungry!"

Daozi’s puzzled face scrunched up, "If they are hungry, they should find food, why come after me?"

Xiao Yeyang laughed, "Because you are a little rich man. Look, you have a small treasure vault your mother set aside for you, and in the future, there’s family property and a Prince Residence in Beijing waiting for you to inherit. If they devour you, they can live richly and never worry about food and drink again. Tell me, if not you, then who?"

Daozi’s face fell, "Then... what should I do?"

Xiao Yeyang: "You need to find a way to protect your belongings."

Daozi puffed his cheeks, clenched his fists and said, "Dad, I will train hard in martial arts in the future. If those hungry wolves dare to eat me, I’ll eat them first."

Xiao Yeyang laughed, ruffling his son’s hair, "That’s the spirit, Daozi. Remember, men can spar and compete, but you must ensure that you are the one who wins."

"Because once a man loses, the consequences can be very severe."
