Daohua returned to the main courtyard with Daozi, only to find Daomang had already been made to laugh by Gu Jian, and was chasing after Gu Jian together with Daomiao.
Xiao Yeyang saw the mother and child return, and noticing that Daozi’s brows were relaxed without the previous listlessness and confusion, he felt relieved and smiled walking towards Daozi: "Go and play with your brother and sister."
Daozi smiled, nodded, and with open arms, pounced towards Gu Jian and the twins: "Old ancestor, I’ll be the eagle, you be the mother hen, protecting the chicks, my brother and sister."
Gu Jian, laughing heartily, shielded the twins behind him and indeed started playing gas with the three little ones.
Xiao Yeyang looking at Daohua: "You just got very upset, go inside and have so milk tea to calm your heart."
Daohua nodded and went inside with Xiao Yeyang.
Once inside, Xiao Yeyang sat Daohua down, handed her a bowl of milk tea, and after she drank it, he spoke: "Yan Yile dares to harm Daomang, we can’t let this go just like that."
Daohua: "Of course we can’t let this go, I will write to mother. Without the help and support of the first branch, what could the second branch achieve?"
"That’s not enough!" Xiao Yeyang thought for a mont and said: "The appointnts for each prefecture haven’t been announced yet, I’m thinking of reassigning You Kai from Xiliang."
Daohua’s expression paused, she looked at Xiao Yeyang without saying a word.
Xiao Yeyang’s eyes glead with a cold light: "The second branch of the Yan Family must learn that not everything can be taken lightly."
"How dare they harm my daughter... It’s just because You Kai followed Wenxiu to Xiliang from the start. Over these three years, if not for his hard work, if not his contributions... Humph!"
As he said this, he looked at Daohua, held her hand tightly, his eyes seeking her approval.
After all, Yan Yihuan is Yiyi’s sister, and he still needed to ask for her opinion.
Daohua held Xiao Yeyang’s hand back: "You decide on the matters outside, I have no objections."
Xiao Yeyang imdiately smiled: "Good."
Just then, Guyu ca in to report: "Prince, Princess Consort, elder Mrs. Han has arrived."
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang exchanged glances: "Sister-in-law has arrived quite quickly, probably those aunts went to seek her help."
Xiao Yeyang stood up: "You receive sister-in-law, I will go deal with the reassignnt matter now."
Watching the hurried departure of Xiao Yeyang, Daohua couldn’t help but chuckle. It seed as if the arrival of sister-in-law could change her mind.
Yan Yile hurt her daughter, and even Yan Yihuan pleaded on her behalf, making Daohua lose goodwill towards her as well.
...
The mont Han Xinran was brought into the room by Guyu, she couldn’t wait to ask: "Big sister, what exactly happened, how co the aunts say you kicked them out of the Prince Residence?"
Daohua raised an eyebrow: "They only told you I kicked them out, without ntioning the reason?"
Han Xinran: "Yihuan looked ashad, Yile was silent, the aunt was hemming and hawing without giving an explanation, so I ca by myself."
Daohua had a maid serve Han Xinran so tea, and then detailed what happened today.
Hearing that Yan Yile had been coveting Xiao Yeyang, Han Xinran was stunned, and upon hearing how Yan Yile almost caused Daomang to fall into the water, she stood up with anger:
"This Yan Yile, has she no sha, coveting her own brother-in-law? And also almost harming Daomang, she really is... really capable!"
At this mont, she understood why big sister had chased them away.
In her opinion, they deserved it!
No, if soone had hard her child, she would have been even more ruthless!
"How can the Yan Family have such a daughter?!"
Watching the furious Han Xinran, Daohua smiled and asked her to calm down: "Different people react differently, who knows?"
Han Xinran was still angry: "The people from the second branch are heartless; you and I went through all that trouble to assist Yan Yile in matchmaking, but instead, she started to undermine us."
"No, we must tell father and mother about what Yan Yile has done."
"Over these years, the main branch has taken enough care of the second branch, but they not only fail to show gratitude but also stab us in the back, which is truly disheartening."
As she spoke, she glanced outside at the sky.
"The day is getting late today, let them stay over tonight but make them leave tomorrow."
In the Prince Residence, the Sun Family mother and daughters can cause such a big issue; she didn’t want them staying at the Yan Residence at all.
As for her husband, if he found out that Yan Yile dared to covet her older brother-in-law and almost hard Daomang, he might lose all affection for her.
Daohua would not interfere in the internal affairs of the Yan Residence, so she did not respond.
Since it was getting dark, Han Xinran did not stay long and soon stood up to take her leave.
...
After knowing that the Sun Family mother and daughters had been driven out of the residence by Daohua, Yan Wenxiu had been waiting at the gate; upon seeing his wife return, he quickly went up to ask about the situation.
Han Xinran grumpily inford Yan Wenxiu of what Yan Yile had done.
After hearing this, Yan Wenxiu was shocked for a while, then regained his composure and sighed, "The second branch is the least well-off among the three Yan Family branches; over the years, father and I have helped them, assisting them whenever needed."
"Now I see, we were wrong. Ti and again we helped, and it led the second branch to take everything for granted, let them leave tomorrow."
Han Xinran had no objection and quickly nodded in agreent: "We might have to speak with father and mother about this. I heard that today the duke was very angry, everyone knows he dotes on Daomang a lot."
Yan Wenxiu nodded: "I’ll write a family letter personally, and I won’t et with my second aunt; you handle it as you see fit."
Han Xinran had long been fed up with the second branch, and with Yan Wenxiu’s words, she went early the next day to the guesthouse to et the Sun Family mother and daughters, tactfully suggesting they should leave.
Yan Yihuan had been prepared for this; Yile made such a big mistake, and last night the elder brother didn’t co to see them, showing he didn’t want to deal with them anymore.
When the Sun Family saw that Han Xinran also wanted them to leave, she imdiately objected: "Xinran, yesterday your younger sister fell into the water and developed a fever last night..."
"Mother!" Yan Yihuan interrupted Sun Family, looking at Han Xinran: "Sister-in-law, I’ll take my mother and Yile and leave imdiately, we won’t cause you any trouble."
Han Xinran didn’t keep them but said: "If you need help packing, just call for the maids; I have to deal with other matters, so I’m going back first."
Watching Han Xinran leave, Sun Family shivered with anger: "What kind of daughter-in-law is this sister-in-law? Yile is sick, and she still wants us to leave, how heartless she is."
Yan Yihuan, feeling powerless, looked at Sun Family: "Mother, if you still want to save so face, you better start packing quickly."
Sun Family, panicked: "But your sister..."
Then, from inside ca Yan Yile’s gritted voice: "Mother, let’s go; even if I die from illness, I do not want to stay here and be humiliated by them."
Sun Family anxiously said: "But where can we go?"
No more voices ca from inside.
Yan Yihuan fell silent for a mont and then said helplessly: "Let’s go back to Lanwu Prefecture for now."
With no other options, Sun Family nodded and began to instruct the maids to pack, leaving Yan Yihuan with a headache sitting in the living room.
Alas...
The eldest sister and sister-in-law might not care about the mother and sister, but she couldn’t!"
