Chapter 932: Chapter 797, Giving Someone Away
"Be good, eat some food before you sleep!"
Xiao Yeyang placed the kang table on the bed, one arm cradling Daohua, wrapped in a silk quilt, while the other hand scooped a spoonful of bird’s nest porridge to Daohua’s lips.
Daohua was so tired at the moment that she didn’t even want to open her eyes, let alone eat anything. She just turned her head away, dodging the spoon.
Xiao Yeyang saw this and quickly coaxed her in a soft voice, "You barely ate anything at the recognition banquet. If you don’t eat now, you might be too hungry to sleep tonight."
Daohua hummed with her eyes closed, thinking to herself that as long as this guy didn’t bother her, she would have no trouble falling asleep.
Seeing that Daohua wasn’t moving, Xiao Yeyang scooped a few spoonfuls of porridge into his own mouth and then covered Daohua’s soft lips with his, transferring the porridge to her.
Daohua was startled and quickly opened her eyes. Forced to swallow a large spoonful of porridge, her beautiful eyes widened in shock: "Xiao Yeyang!"
Xiao Yeyang smiled, "Will you drink it yourself, or shall I feed you?"
Seeing him scoop yet more porridge towards his mouth, Daohua hurriedly said, "I’ll drink it myself." freewёbnoνel.com
Xiao Yeyang smiled triumphantly, the direction of the spoon in his hand shifting to Daohua’s lips, and Daohua immediately opened her mouth to drink.
Afterward, Daohua drank more than half a bowl of bird’s nest porridge and then shook her head at Xiao Yeyang.
He put down the spoon, "Do you want to eat something else?"
Daohua replied, "I can’t eat anymore."
Seeing that Daohua really didn’t want to eat any more, Xiao Yeyang said no more. He gently laid her down on the bed and then picked up his chopsticks to eat by himself.
Watching Daohua watch him eat with wide, almond-shaped eyes, Xiao Yeyang asked with a smile, "What’s wrong, not sleepy anymore?"
Daohua, seeing a sudden spark of excitement in Xiao Yeyang’s eyes, hurriedly curled up under the blankets and said, "Sleepy... so very sleepy." After speaking, she quickly closed her eyes.
Unfortunately, having just eaten, she found it a bit hard to fall asleep.
Until Xiao Yeyang finished his meal, called in Wang Manman to clear away the kang table, and then slid back under the quilt, Daohua had still not managed to fall asleep.
Xiao Yeyang lay on his side, using his hand as a prop for his head, a smiling gaze fixed on Daohua who was pretending to be asleep, though her eyelashes kept trembling, "Are you asleep?"
Daohua played dead, ignoring Xiao Yeyang. He had eaten his fill and was now brimming with energy. If he knew she wasn’t asleep, there was no telling how he might tease her.
Seeing her eyebrows tremble increasingly, Xiao Yeyang could hardly contain his laughter. He placed his hand on her waist and began to teasingly move it up and down.
Faced with Xiao Yeyang’s increasingly rapid breathing, Daohua couldn’t pretend to sleep any longer. She firmly held the wandering hand on her body, turned around, and glared at Xiao Yeyang with puffed cheeks.
"Awake?" Xiao Yeyang bent over with a smile on his face, his fingers slowly tracing her cheek.
Daohua intended to scold him, but considering her weaker position, she thought better of it. Her fierce glare suddenly softened into a weak and pitiful coquettish plea, "Xiao Yeyang, I’m really tired, let’s go to sleep, okay?"
The moment the whining voice came out, Daohua got goosebumps herself.
Xiao Yeyang, however, was filled with joy and hugged Daohua tightly. Seeing her trying to bury herself in the blankets, he said resignedly, "Fine, I won’t bother you anymore. It’s not good to sleep immediately after eating anyway. Let’s just talk."
Daohua propped her hand on Xiao Yeyang’s chest to keep him at bay: "Just talk."
Xiao Yeyang caught hold of Daohua’s hand, "Just talk."
Daohua finally relaxed.
Xiao Yeyang played with Daohua’s hair, "They sent two maidservants over, and I was thinking of having them work for you."
Daohua blinked in surprise, "They? From where?" She paused and then added, "From Mother?"
Seeing Daohua calling her ’Mother’ so naturally and smoothly, Xiao Yeyang felt joyful inside. Even though there were still some frictions between him and his birth mother, deep down, he wished for Daohua to accept her.
Pleased inside and charmed by Daohua’s beauty, he couldn’t help but lean down for a kiss.
It took a great deal of effort for Daohua to push Xiao Yeyang away, glaring at him with indignation: "Xiao Yeyang, you said we’d just talk."
Xiao Yeyang quickly tried to appease her, "Okay, okay, we’ll just talk. Anyway, I’ve already had Defu bring them over. These two are skilled in martial arts and medicine. Meet with them when you have time, and if they don’t suit you, send them back."
After listening, Daohua glanced at Xiao Yeyang and said, "It wouldn’t be nice to send back people Mother sent." She smiled and continued, "She must be worried about me being bullied at the Prince Residence, which is why she sent people over. Skilled in martial arts and medicine, they must have been specially trained. Although Manman and the others have been with me since they were young, their experiences are limited. They haven’t encountered much treachery. Mother sending these people means she pities me."
Xiao Yeyang laughed and hugged Daohua tightly, "Yes, yes, whatever you say is right."
Daohua asked, "When will you take me to meet Mother so I can thank her in person?"
Xiao Yeyang fell silent for a moment, "I’ll ask first."
Daohua hummed a response and then yawned.
Seeing Daohua’s eyes beginning to droop, Xiao Yeyang kissed her cheek, "Sleep now."
"Don’t disturb me anymore!" Daohua found a comfortable position and then slowly closed her eyes.
Xiao Yeyang tightened his arms, cuddling the warm and soft beauty in his embrace. He was somewhat restless and his heart stirred with desire, but he knew waking Daohua again would mean no good, so he forced himself to sleep.
...
The next day, Daohua slept until the sun was high in the sky before she got up.
Xiao Yeyang, on the other hand, had gotten up early and had already practiced several sets of boxing in the courtyard. When he returned to the room and saw Daohua sitting at the dressing table applying makeup, he walked over with a smile, "Why don’t you sleep a little longer?"
As he spoke, he carefully examined Daohua’s complexion, seeing the tiredness between her brows, he couldn’t help but say, "If you haven’t woken up, sleep a little more. Only when you’re well-rested will you have energy tonight."
Hearing this, Daohua immediately gave Xiao Yeyang a fierce glare and threw the powder puff in her hand at him, "You reek of sweat; it’s suffocating."
Xiao Yeyang caught the powder puff, with a mischievous smile approaching Daohua, "Where does it stink? You—"
Daohua quickly pushed him.
Wang Manman and Guyu tactfully retreated as they watched the two quickly descend into a playful scuffle.
"The sweetness of newlyweds, blending like honey and oil, must be talking about the young madam and young master," Guyu said with a laugh.
Wang Manman gave her a smile, "You’ll understand once you get married in the future."
Guyu’s face immediately blushed, "Sister Manman, you’re making fun of me." After saying that, she ran off.
Wang Manman shook her head with a smile, listening carefully to the noises inside the room. Only when the room fell silent did she step in.
Daohua had coaxed Xiao Yeyang to go and wash up; she was now tidying the disheveled clothing.
Wang Manman saw this and hurriedly came forward to help.
Seeing the faint red marks on Daohua’s neck, Wang Manman silently lowered her eyelids.
Daohua didn’t notice this and said to Wang Manman, "You’ll have to work hard these next few days and organize the servants and maids of Pingxi Hall very clearly, preferably in a registered book."
Wang Manman nodded, "Okay." She hesitated, "Madam, I have inquired; since Pingxi Hall has just been reconstructed, it lacks a number of maids and servants, and they are all arranged by the Princess Consort."
Daohua smiled lightly, "There’s nothing to worry about. If anyone doesn’t cooperate, don’t be anxious. Just take note of them, and after I return from my parents’ home, we can deal with it."
Wang Manman looked hesitant, "Madam, doing so might provoke gossip from the Princess Consort’s side."
Daohua snorted, "Do you think if we do nothing, the Princess Consort will let things be? Just wait and see, even if there is no issue, she will create problems for us."
"One mountain cannot contain two tigers. The conflict between Ma Family and me started even before I married into the Prince Residence. Go ahead with your tasks; I have it all under control."
Seeing this, Wang Manman spoke no further.
Daohua added, "Right, summon those two maids sent by De Fu; I want to meet them."
Daohua left the bedroom and in the living room met the two maids sent by Guo Ruomei.
"Maid Mei Lan (Maid Mei Ju) greets the young Madam."
Daohua examined the two, both around their twenties, neither particularly striking but still pretty and pleasing to the eye, with a spirit in their brows unlike ordinary girls.
Indeed, they were worthy of being trained by my mother-in-law, with a demeanor and nature somewhat similar to hers.
"Rise."
Mei Lan and Mei Ju stood up, seeing Daohua’s gentle expression, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Their mistress had sent them to serve the young master and young madam. The young master seemed not too fond of them, and both were worried about being sent back.
Daohua smiled and asked, "Did mother have any arrangements when she sent you here?"
Mei Lan immediately replied, "Replying to the young madam, the mistress said, once we came to the Prince Residence, we no longer had any connection with her, and from now on, we would follow the orders of the young master and young madam."
A smile flickered in Daohua’s eyes, her heart growing fond of a mother-in-law who didn’t meddle in her son’s marital affairs, "You are people sent by my mother, and naturally, I trust you. Now, tell me what each of you excels in so that I can arrange your duties."
Mei Lan, "I have practiced martial arts since childhood and have been responsible for the mistress’s security outdoors since I was twelve, following Sister Mei Shuang."
Mei Ju, "I also know some martial arts but am more familiar with the affairs of the inner courtyard. I am skilled in medicine and can manage household matters as well."
Daohua listened quietly, her face composed but her heart rejoiced.
One skilled in literature and the other in martial arts, my mother-in-law indeed went through a lot of trouble.
Back at the Yan Family, there were few matters, and not many people were needed, but now that I have married into the Prince Residence, various matters keep arising, and I urgently need such capable hands.
Daohua thought for a moment and said, "Go and find Guyu; let her lead you for now."
Mei Lan and Mei Ju respectfully responded, "Yes, young madam."
