The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 941 - 802, Parents-in-law

Since it was nearing the year-end, after Daohua’s third return to her parent’s home, Xiao Yeyang started his official duties, almost always leaving in the morning and not returning until night had fallen, incredibly busy.

He was busy, and Daohua was also occupied.

First, the entire staff of servants at Pingxi Hall had changed, and there were bound to be issues cropping up, some of which Daohua had to oversee and inspect personally.

Second, it was the end of the year, and it was time to check the accounts for the shops and estates; Daohua managed a portion belonging to Xiao Yeyang this year, hence she had far more ledgers to review than last year.

Third, as the year-end approached, it was time to start preparing gifts for relatives and friends.

Fourth, attending various gatherings organized by the Imperial Clan.

The couple was busy with their respective duties. Every evening, Daohua would wait for Xiao Yeyang to return, and then they would dine together while casually discussing the various incidents of the day.

This not only allowed them to exchange affection but also to share their joys and sorrows.

Xiao Yeyang couldn’t bring home official matters to discuss, but he enjoyed watching Daohua animatedly complain about others. When she mentioned people he knew, he’d join in the banter, and seeing her cheerful smile made his mood lift too.

After dinner, Xiao Yeyang would hurriedly carry Daohua to bed.

Looking at the robust Xiao Yeyang, Daohua couldn’t understand – how could he still have so much energy after running around busy all day?

It wasn’t until the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, Little New Year’s eve, that Xiao Yeyang finally had a break.

Daohua sat at the dressing table, looking through the mirror at Xiao Yeyang who was still in bed, and urged, "Get up quickly, today is Little New Year. I told Father we would join him for lunch."

Xiao Yeyang lay there motionless: "You wore me out last night."

Hearing this, Daohua couldn’t help but laugh and turned her head to glare at him: "You shameless guy." In the end, who wore out whom?

Xiao Yeyang, with his arms under his head, watched Daohua leisurely with a smile, as if to say, ’What can you do to me?’

Ignoring him, Daohua continued to apply her makeup. After a while, she set down her rouge, walked over to the bed, and sat down, looking at Xiao Yeyang: "You’ve been too busy lately for me to ask, but since New Year is nearly upon us, when are you going to take me to meet your mother?"

Xiao Yeyang sat up: "Ever since winter started, grandfather has been unwell, and she’s been staying at Duke Residence to care for him. If we go to pay a visit, it would stir quite the commotion."

Daohua fell silent for a moment: "If this isn’t the right time to visit Mother, then at least for the New Year, we should send something to express our filial piety."

Xiao Yeyang lay back down: "You decide."

Unwilling to let it go, Daohua forcefully pulled him to sit up: "I don’t know Mother’s preferences. You need to go with me to choose a gift."

Xiao Yeyang: "Neither do I."

Daohua: "It doesn’t matter; you have to accompany me. This is my first time sending a gift to mother, and it will directly affect her impression of me, good or bad. If you help me choose, even if it’s not to taste, she won’t be unhappy, considering it’s from you."

Xiao Yeyang: "How would she know who chose the gift?"

Daohua: "I’ll have Mei Lan and Mei Ju deliver it. Once Mother asks, she’ll find out." Seeing Xiao Yeyang still not moving, she reached out to wrap her hand around his neck, "Come with me, will you?"

Xiao Yeyang inwardly rejoiced at Daohua’s coquettishness. With a smirk, he wrapped his arms around Daohua’s waist, and with a strong tug, pulled her to sit on his lap: "That depends on how you behave."

At his words, Daohua rolled her eyes.

Choosing a gift for his mother had turned into her pleading with him!

Despite her complaints, Daohua still kissed Xiao Yeyang’s cheek with a smile: "Is this enough?"

Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "Not enough."

Daohua looked at him, puffed up, and pecked at his lips: "If you dawdle any more, I don’t want to deal with you anymore."

Xiao Yeyang frowned: "Aren’t you a little impatient?"

Daohua: "That’s just how I am, are you getting up or not?"

Watching her feigned irritation, Xiao Yeyang’s face showed helpless affection: "How can I disobey my wife’s orders?"

Hearing that, Daohua smiled brightly: "That’s more like it." She let go of him and got off the bed, "Hurry up."

Xiao Yeyang reluctantly got out of bed and got dressed, then went with Daohua to the storeroom to select gifts. They also prepared one for Duke Residence.

After sorting these out, it was nearly noon. Daohua sent Mei Lan and Mei Ju to deliver the gifts to Duke Residence, while she and Xiao Yeyang headed to Pingxi Hall.

...

Pingxi Hall.

The masters of Prince Residence had all gathered there, including Xiao Yechen, who, with the assistance of the Third Prince, had also returned from Yuanma Garden.
