The Humble Family’s Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!

Chapter 1219: Chapter 1039, Disdain

Yan Yihuan returned to the guest residence somewhat dazed and dispirited. She had not anticipated that her older sister-in-law harbored so many complaints against the second branch of the Yan Family. Although her elder brother was trying to appease his wife, he had not refuted her even once...

Looking at her mother and younger sister packing up their things in the room, a bitter smile surfaced on Yan Yihuan’s face. So, it turned out that their second branch was indeed so annoying to others!

Seeing Yan Yihuan return, Sun Family’s matriarch craned her neck to look behind her. Noticing Han Xinran hadn’t followed, she frowned and said, "Why, is your sister-in-law really going to ignore us just because of a few angry words from Yile?"

Yan Yihuan glanced at her mother, "Mom, you and Yile should get some rest today. After I take you to greet my older sister tomorrow, you can come with me to Lanwu Prefecture."

After overhearing the conversation between my elder brother and sister-in-law, I really have no face to stay here any longer.

But Sun Family’s matriarch was anxious: "What are you talking about? I brought your sister here this time to look for a prospective match for her. Lanwu Prefecture is nowhere as good as Liangdu."

Yan Yihuan, looking at Yan Yile who sat silently on one side, sighed and spoke in a roundabout way, "We from the second branch have troubled the main branch enough already; we can’t rely on them for everything."

"Indeed, Lanwu Prefecture may not compare to Liangdu, but the conditions there aren’t particularly poor. If I can adapt to living there, surely Yile can as well."

Sun Family’s matriarch shook her head: "It’s not about whether one can adapt to living there or not. When looking for a match, naturally my daughter should seek the best. Can any family in Lanwu Prefecture compare to those in Liangdu?"

Yan Yihuan frowned, "Mother, the most important aspect of marriage is a person’s character, not their family background. Being from a good family doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good match. Haven’t you had enough of the Feng Family’s wrongdoings?"

"It’s true, the family backgrounds and official positions of those in Lanwu Prefecture may not be very high, but families there are simpler, with fewer people comes fewer conflicts, and life is more Shu Xin (comfortable), isn’t it?"

"Over these years, while in Lanwu Prefecture, I too have made the acquaintance of many families, quite a few of whom are well understood by us. We should pick from such families for my sister’s marriage and absolutely cannot afford to make another misjudgment."

Sun Family’s matriarch was somewhat persuaded, yet still argued, "All that you said, I understand, but we don’t necessarily have to go to Lanwu Prefecture. Surely there are such families in Liangdu too."

"Wenxiu and Daohua, one is a consultant, the other a Princess Consort, they know many people, and everyone owes them some amount of respect. Finding a match for your sister through their introduction would be easy."

At this moment, Yan Yile spoke up: "Mother, please stop making things difficult for second sister. She has already been quite straightforward. If elder brother and the rest don’t want to manage my affairs, why force them to do so?"

Sun Family’s matriarch scolded sharply, "Shut your mouth. If it wasn’t for your offending your sister-in-law just now, how could we have ended up in such a situation?"

Speaking, she turned towards Yan Yihuan to confirm, "Is your sister-in-law really not going to take care of Yile’s matters?"

Yan Yihuan remained silent.

Sun Family’s matriarch became both anxious and angry, "Sure, Yile’s words earlier were a bit impulsive, but as someone who is the elder sister-in-law, could she really hold a grudge against her husband’s younger sister?"

Saying so, she paced around the room twice.

"Fine, I’ll go apologize to her if that makes it better."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yihuan quickly grabbed hold of Sun Family’s matriarch, "Mother, please don’t add fuel to the fire, okay? For you, an elder, to apologize to the sister-in-law, is that really where you want to put her?"

Sun Family’s matriarch was completely at a loss, "If this won’t do, and that won’t do, what do you want me to do? What about your sister?"

As she spoke, her eyes began to turn red, "Yile is not young anymore, we can’t drag this on. You wouldn’t want her to be left alone for the rest of her life, would you?"

Seeing Sun Family’s matriarch getting anxious over her own matters, Yan Yile’s nose also grew a little sour, "Mother, don’t worry about me. If worse comes to worst, I’ll live alone in the future."

Sun Family’s matriarch immediately scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Turning to Yan Yihuan, she said, "Yihuan, now that you have a good life, you can’t just disregard pulling your sister up with you."

Yan Yihuan felt extremely tired, "Did I say I wouldn’t help? Mother, your expectations are too high, and my abilities are limited. What I can do is to help Yile find a prospective family in Lanwu Prefecture. As for here in Liangdu... I hardly know anyone."

Having said that, she turned to look at Yan Yile.

"Yile, you’ve always been competitive. Today, I have to advise you that sometimes, one must learn to accept their fate."

Yan Yile sharply turned to look at Yan Yihuan, "Second sister, all I want is to live a better life, why must I simply accept my fate?"

Yan Yihuan looked at her: "What do you mean by having a better life? Younger sister, do you know that you have a big flaw? That is, you never know contentment."

Having said that, she no longer looked at her but turned to the Sun Family.

"Mother, there’s no need to pack anymore. After seeing eldest sister tomorrow, come back to Lanwu Prefecture with me. Brother and sister-in-law are actually quite busy."

Watching Yan Yihuan leave, the matriarch of the Sun Family anxiously slapped her thighs: "No, since your elder brother and sister-in-law won’t manage, then I’ll go directly to Daohua. She wouldn’t dare to refuse to see me."

Yan Yile held onto the matriarch of the Sun Family: "Mother, don’t go. Eldest sister has never been easy to deal with since we were young. Among all the sisters, she is the most ruthless. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have become the Princess Consort."

"If she doesn’t want to do something, you can’t persuade her. Have you forgotten about the time when second brother didn’t get to go to Wangyue Academy? If she had any consideration for brotherly and sisterly affection, then our branch of the family wouldn’t have fallen so far behind the main and third branches."

"Just don’t go and humiliate yourself."

The matriarch of the Sun Family asked: "What about your matter then?"

Yan Yile’s expression turned somewhat vacant as she looked at the sky, silent for a long time.

...

Regardless, Yan Yihuan still shamelessly sought out Han Xinran.

"Elder sister-in-law, I apologize on behalf of Yile. Ever since the divorce, she has probably faced too much criticism and prejudice, which made her become more and more sensitive and extreme. Second sister-in-law mentioned this several times in her letters home. You are magnanimous, please don’t hold it against her."

Han Xinran sighed, having no issues with Yan Yihuan, and earnestly said, "Yile really needs to change her temperament."

"We are both wives and daughters-in-law. If we want our days to be harmonious and our families to be peaceful, we inevitably need to be tolerant and compromising with each other."

"But look at Yile, she acts as though the whole world owes her something, has no consideration for others. I’m not exaggerating, but with her current temper, even if she remarries, she will not lead a good life."

Yan Yihuan nodded with a wry smile: "I will advise her properly. Elder sister-in-law, I came here to tell you, after seeing eldest sister tomorrow, I will take mother and Yile back to Lanwu Prefecture."

Hearing this, Han Xinran’s expression noticeably relaxed. She did not feign any pretense of asking them to stay, only smiling and saying: "You and your mother haven’t seen each other for many years, it’s time for a good reunion."

Yan Yihuan nodded with a smile, but her heart felt ice cold.

The elder sister-in-law’s dislike for the second branch has reached such a point that she isn’t even willing to put on pretense of face-saving anymore.

...

Early the next morning, Han Xinran took the matriarch of the Sun Family along with Yan Yihuan and Yan Yile to the Prince Residence.

Upon leaving, seeing Yan Yile’s dressed-up appearance, both Han Xinran and Yan Yihuan paused for a moment.

Han Xinran did not ride in the same carriage as the three ladies of the Sun Family. After getting in the carriage, she shook her head: "Younger sister is still so keen on comparing herself with the eldest sister."

When they were young, it didn’t matter much since they were all daughters of the Yan Family; but now, with their statuses completely different, such comparisons would only invite ridicule.

In the carriage behind, Yan Yihuan looked helplessly at Yan Yile: "Younger sister, you are too competitive."

Yan Yile was unwilling to hear this: "How am I competitive?"

Yan Yihuan did not want to quarrel with Yan Yile at this moment, but she was also not too polite, fearing her subtlety would be lost on her: "It’s just a visit to our own sisters, why dress so flamboyantly? With gems and Kesi Silk dresses, you should keep a low profile given your current status."

Yan Yile was upset: "Elder sister, you might as well spell it out—what is my current status? Why can’t I wear these things?"

Yan Yihuan sighed: "What does the Prince Residence lack? Even if you put all your most valuable possessions on display, what’s the point? Advising you to be low-key is for your own good. As a divorced woman at home, you should be modest and well-behaved."

The matriarch of the Sun Family saw her younger daughter about to explode and quickly pressed her: "Both of you, say less."
