Chapter 293
Daohua had always been reluctant to marry.Even though she had lived in ancient times for twelve years and had grown accustomed to the rules of the era, there were still some concepts she found unacceptable.Ancient marriage customs emphasized parental authority and the matchmaker’s words, valuing the alignment of social status and family interests above all, with little to no concern for the affections between the man and woman involved.Many people got married without even having seen each other’s face.The very thought of living the majority of her life with a complete stranger made Daohua shiver uncontrollably.In these ancient times, families who were slightly indulgent towards their children would, at most, allow the prospective bride and groom to meet during the matchmaking process. Daohua’s desire for shared values, temperament, and mutual understanding was nothing short of a daytime fantasy.Moreover, she had no sacrificial spirit to speak of, managing concubines and educatin

Every time Daohua sent food, Xiao Yeyang would personally check it himself.Noticing that this time the offerings seemed more comprehensive than before, Xiao Yeyang felt quite happy inside.Defu, too, was beaming, and he said to Xiao Yeyang with a smile, “This humble one has inquired, and the sweet fermented rice is only available to the Master and the three young masters of the Yan Family. Young Master Dong and Young Master Su don’t have it. Also, things like black rice, rouge rice, and fresh fruit—our place has more than others do.”Although Xiao Yeyang was happy at heart, he pretended not to care, “This fellow, why has he suddenly started to be good to me?”Defu laughed, “Isn’t that because the Master has also been good to Miss Yan? Miss Yan is just returning a favor for a favor!”Xiao Yeyang felt somewhat displeased upon hearing this. It felt as if Daohua was reluctant to owe him and had to return something whenever he gave her a little something.Could it not be that Daohua cared

The next day, Yan Yishuang did not appear in the classroom, and the entire Yan Family immediately became aware of Yan Zhigao’s stance—he had implicitly approved of the punishment Daohua had imposed on Yan Yishuang.In the classroom, Yan Yihuan and Yan Yile arrived early. Seeing that Daohua and the Li sisters had not yet arrived, they began to whisper among themselves.“Yesterday, after Third Sister returned to her courtyard, she threw quite a tantrum. I guess she must have been scolded by Uncle when she went to the front yard!” Yan Yile said with a giggle.Yan Yihuan reflected for a moment, “This is Third Sister’s own fault.” She paused, “The front yard is where Uncle works, and it’s full of men from outside. We sisters really shouldn’t go there.”“Even if Aunt had something to attend to, she would send a servant to summon Uncle.”“Third Sister burst into tears and ran to the front yard yesterday. Not only did she disgrace herself, but she also made the Yan Family lose face.”Yan Yile

Watching Yan Yishuang run out of the classroom crying and covering her face, Daohua sat down with a calm demeanor and then glanced at Yan Yile, who was making faces at Yan Yihuan.“Fourth Sister, did you find our two cousins from the Li Family that amusing?”Yan Yile, knowing that Daohua would surely reprimand her, was prepared and retorted with a stiff neck, “Eldest Sister, don’t falsely accuse me. I was indeed laughing just now, but that was because I thought of something happy, which has nothing to do with Third Sister and the others.”Daohua looked at her indifferently, “Whatever you say, Fourth Sister. As the eldest sister, I do have something to say, though. Today you can laugh at a cousin from the Li Family, but one day others might laugh at you. Mind yourself.”Yan Yile pursed her lips, looking unconcerned.Then, Daohua glanced at Yan Yihuan.When Yan Yihuan saw Daohua looking her way, she immediately straightened up. Just when she thought she was going to be lectured, Daohua

Wangyue Academy.Looking at the food box Yan Wenkai placed on the table, Xiao Yeyang smiled and asked, “Daohua, what delicious pastries have you made again?” As he spoke, he was about to open the box.Yan Wenkai shook his head, “It’s not pastries, it’s medicinal cuisine, specifically brought to nourish your body.”Su Hongxin, who was nearby, heard this and immediately asked, “Don’t we have any?”Dong Yuanxuan also looked over.Yan Wenkai shrugged, “My eldest sister said that you all have family elders around, who will take good care of everything for you, so she doesn’t need to prepare these.”Su Hongxin and Dong Yuanxuan were at a loss for words simultaneously.What kind of reason was that?Alright, it was a reason nonetheless.But who said the Little Prince didn’t have elders around to look after him?Isn’t that person in the other courtyard one?When they were trapped in Xingyun Prefecture, that person almost forcibly abducted the Little Prince with an entourage.Their families wer

“Cousin, is Master Shen very strict?”On the way to the Academy, Li Zixin wore a worried expression, even the composed Li Zixuan was tense.Both of them knew that some teachers held themselves in high esteem and looked down upon merchant families.Daohua reassured them, “Don’t worry, Master Shen is a very kind person.”When the three of them arrived at the classroom, Yan Yihuan, Yan Yishuang, and Yan Yile were already there, sitting at their places and organizing their books and writing materials.“Yihuan cousin, Yishuang cousin, Yile cousin!”“Hello to the three sisters!”Li Zixuan and Li Zixin were the first to salute them.Yan Yihuan immediately stood up and returned the greeting, “Hello to the two elder cousins!”Yan Yile was somewhat slow to act, standing up reluctantly and returning the greeting halfheartedly.As for Yan Yishuang, she remained seated and ignored them, engrossed in her book.Seeing this, Daohua frowned, “Little sister, the elder cousins are greeting you.”Yan Yis
